² and walk in love, just-as the Christ also loved us and gave himself up on our behalf as an offering and a sacrifice to God for an aroma of a sweet-fragrance.

¹⁵ Therefore beware, how accurately you are walking, not as unwise, but as wise;

²⁷ Only behave-as citizens worthy of the good-news of the Christ; in order that, whether I come and see you, or am absent, I may hear about the things concerning you, that you are standing-firm in one spirit, with one soul contending together with us in the faith of the good-news.

¹⁸ But I have all things, and I am abounding. I have been filled, having accepted from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, an aroma of a sweet-fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

⁶ Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

¹⁹ and not holding-fast to the head, from whom all the body is being supplied and knitted together through the joints and ligaments, which is growing with the growth of God.

²⁰ The children: obey^*\'b0 the parents according to all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord.

¹² and testifying, that you should walk worthy of God, who is calling you into his own kingdom and glory.

¹ Therefore furthermore brethren, we request and are encouraging you in the Lord Jesus, just-as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, in order that you might abound even more.

⁴ No active soldier entangles himself in the tradeoffs of this life, in order that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

¹ Remind them to subject themselves to principalities and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared for every good work,

¹⁴ But let our people also learn to establish themselves foremost in good works for the necessary needs, in order that they may not be unfruitful.

⁵ In faith, Enoch was transferred, not to see death, and he was not being found, because God transferred him; for it had been testified of him to have been well pleasing to God before his transfer.

¹⁶ But do not forget the practice of good and fellowship; for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

² may grace and peace be multiplied to you in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
³ As his divine power has been bestowed to us as a gift, (all things pertaining to life and godliness), through the full knowledge of the one who called us through glory and virtue;

⁸ For if these things are existing and increasing in you, none will designate you idle or unfruitful toward the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory is to him, both now and toward the final day of this world. Amen.

²² and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we are keeping his commandments and are practicing the things which are pleasing in his sight.

⁶ Your right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Jehovah, dashes the enemy in pieces.

² So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory.

¹⁰ If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

²⁴ Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength. Even to him men will come and all those who were incensed against him will be put to shame.

⁸ But you will be receiving power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the outermost parts of the earth.

⁴¹ Therefore indeed, they were traveling from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were deemed worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the name of Jesus.

⁷ Everlasting life to those who indeed by endurance in good work are seeking glory and honor and incorruption.

³ But not only in this, but we are also boasting in our afflictions, knowing that affliction is working endurance; ⁴ and endurance, approved character, and an approved character, hope; ⁵ and hope does not shame one, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁷ But we have this treasure in clay vessels, in order that the excellence of the power may be from God and not from us.

⁴ But we are commending ourselves in everything, as servants of God: in much endurance, in afflictions, in calamities, in distresses, ⁵ in lashes, in prisons, in unrest, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fasts; ⁶ in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in non-pretended love,

⁹ And he has said to me, My grace is enough for you; for my power is completed in weakness. Therefore I will rather gladly be boasting in my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ might reside upon me. ¹⁰ Hence I am delighting in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, on behalf of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am mighty.

¹⁶ in order that he may give to you, according to the riches of his glory, to be powerful with his power, through his Spirit in the inward man;

² with all humility and meekness, with patience tolerating one another in love.

¹⁰ Furthermore, my brethren, be empowered in the Lord and in the dominion of his strength.

¹³ I am strong in all things in the Christ, who is empowering me.

³ that no one be shook up in these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are destined for this thing. ⁴ For even when we were with you, we were telling you beforehand that we are about to be afflicted; just-as it also happened and you know.

¹ You therefore, my child, be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. ² And the things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, consign these to faithful men, who will also be competent to teach others. ³ Therefore suffer evil treatment as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

³⁴ For you also sympathized together with me in my bonds, and you accepted the plunder of your possessions with joy, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession in the heavens and an abiding one. ³⁵ Therefore do not cast away your boldness, which has great reward. ³⁶ For you have need of endurance, in order that, having done the will of God, you may get the promise for yourselves. ³⁷ ‘For still a little while, O how-much? O how-much? He who is coming will be coming and will not delay. ³⁸ But my righteous one will be living from faith and if he retreats back, my soul does not delight in him.’

³⁴ quenched the power of fire, fled away from the edge of the sword, were empowered away from weakness, became mighty in war, the encampments of aliens bowed down. ³⁵ Women received back their dead from a resurrection. But others were tortured, having not accepted their redemption; in order that they might obtain a better resurrection, ³⁶ and others received a trial from mocking and scourges, but still more, from bonds and prison: ³⁷ they were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were tempted; they died in murder from the sword; they went around in sheepskins, and in hides; they were lacking, being afflicted, and being mistreated, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in the wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth.

¹ Therefore, since we also have so-great a cloud of witnesses encompassing us, let us run through endurance the contest laying before us, placing away from ourselves every interference, and the easily restricting sin. ² Looking away from things, look toward Jesus, the author and completer of the faith, who endured the cross having despised shame, in exchange-for the joy laying before him, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

² My brethren, deem it with all joy, whenever you fall into various temptations, ³ knowing that the proving of your faith is working out endurance. ⁴ But let endurance have its completed work, in order that you may be complete and whole, deficient in nothing.

⁷ Therefore brethren, have patience until the presence of the Lord. Behold, the farmer is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, having patience over it, until it should receive the morning and evening rainfall. ⁸ You also, have patience; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord has drawn near.

⁶ and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, endurance, and in your endurance, godliness;

²⁵ to the only wise God our Savior, is the glory and majesty, dominion and authority, both now and forever. Amen.

{Footnotes: Jude 1:14, or: with tens of thousands of his holy-ones; or: with his holy tens of thousands.}

¹² Here is the endurance of the holy-ones, those who are keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

⁷ And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone made ready at the quarry. And there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.

²⁰ And David said to all the assembly, Now praise Jehovah your* God. And all the assembly praised Jehovah, the God of their fathers and bowed down their heads and bowed-down to Jehovah and the king.

⁹ Because the fountain of life is with you. We will see light in your light.

¹³ so we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever. We will show forth your praise to all generations.

¹¹ Light is sown for the righteous man and gladness for the upright in heart.

²¹ O that men would praise Jehovah for his loving kindness and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare his works with singing.

⁷ Return to your rest, O my soul, because Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.

¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

¹ The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.

¹⁹ The sun will no more be your light by day, nor for brightness will the moon give light to you, but Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light and your God your glory. ²⁰ Your sun will no more go down, nor will your moon withdraw itself, for Jehovah will be your everlasting light. And the days of your mourning will be ended.

²³ I thank you and praise you, O you, God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might and has now made known to me what we desired of you, for you have made known to us the king's matter.

³⁴ Then the King will be saying to those at his right, Come-here, those who have been blessed from my Father, inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for you from the conception of the world:

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way and the truth and the life; no one is coming to the Father, except through me.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Do not be touching me; for I have not yet ascended to my Father, but travel to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father and my God and your God.

³² And hereafter I consign you brethren to God, and to the word of his favor, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been made holy.

¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; indeed, heirs of God and joint heirs of Christ; if indeed we are suffering together with him, in order that we might also be glorified together with him.

²⁹ Because, whom he knew beforehand, he also predetermined, one transformed to the image of his Son, that he himself might be the firstborn among many brethren; ³⁰ and whom he predetermined, he also invited these and whom he invited, he also made these righteous and whom he made righteous, he also glorified these.

²³ and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partner of the root and of the plumpness of the olive tree among them.

²⁷ For they were delighted and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles shared in the spiritual things of them, they owe it to them also to minister to them in the fleshly things.

⁶ but to us, there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we are for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we are through him.

²³ But I am doing this because of the good-news, in order that I might become a fellow partner of it.

⁵ Now God is the one who worked us for this same thing, who also gave the down-payment of the Spirit to us.

¹¹ In him in whom, we were also made an inheritance, having been predetermined according to the purpose of the one who is working all things after the plan of his will.

¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the holy-ones,

⁶ The mystery is that the Gentiles are to be joint heirs and a joint body and joint partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news,

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.

⁴ and do not let obscenity, and foolish-talk or petty jesting, which are not proper, but rather thanksgiving.

²⁰ giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father;

² in order that their hearts might be encouraged, having been knitted together in love and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God and Father and of the Christ,

¹⁵ And let the peace of God arbitrate in your hearts, for which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.

¹⁷ And everything, anything, whatever you do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving-thanks to the God and Father through him.

¹⁴ who gave himself on our behalf, in order that he might redeem us away from all lawlessness and might cleanse a treasured people for himself, zealous of good works.

¹ Hence, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus Christ, the Apostle and High-Priest of our confession;

¹⁴ For we have become companions of the Christ, if indeed we hold-onto the beginning of our firmness steadfast till the end;

²³ to the festal-gathering and to the congregation of the firstborn ones, who have been registered in the heavens and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous who have been completed,

⁹ We are giving-thanks to God and the Father with it and we curse men with it, those who have become according to the likeness of God.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the holiness of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you and may peace be multiplied.
³ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious, who according to his much mercy has born us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ into an incorruptible, undefiled and unfading inheritance having been guarded in the heavens for you; ⁵ who are kept through faith in the power of God, into a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹ I am encouraging the elders the ones among you, (the fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, also the partner of the glory which is about to be revealed).

³ What we have seen and have heard, we report to you, in order that you may also have fellowship with us, but also our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ;

¹ Behold what sort of love the Father has given to us, in order that we might be called children of God. Because of this, the world does not know you, because it did not know him. ² Beloved, we are now the children of God and it was not yet manifested what we will be. But we know that, if he is manifested, we will be similar to him, because we will be seeing him just-as he is. ³ And everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, just-as that man is pure.

²³ And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, in order that they should appear in it; for the glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.

⁵ And there will be no night there, and they do not need a lamp or a light, because the Lord God will be illuminating them and they will be reigning forevermore.

¹⁴ The fortunate ones are practicing his commandments, in order that their authority will be in the Tree of Life and they may enter in by the gates into the city.

⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, You are my Son, this day I have fathered you.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from hereafter until everlasting. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? ²⁵ But Jehovah says thus, Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away and the prey of the terrible will be delivered.
For I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your sons.

¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great and he will divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven someone like a son of man. And he came even to the ancient of days and they brought him near before him.
¹⁴ And there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king comes to you. He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

¹⁷ and behold, a voice came out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted.

²⁹ Or how is anyone able to enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, if he does not first bind the strong man? And then he will be plundering his house. ³⁰ He who is not with me is against me and he who is not gathering with me scatters.

⁵ While he is still speaking, behold, a radiant cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted; hear him!

²⁴ Struggle to enter in through the narrow gate, because I am saying to you, Many will be seeking to enter in and will not be strong-enough.

⁵³ When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against me, but this is your hour and the authority of darkness.

{Mar 14:53 & Mat 26:57 & Luk 22:54a & Joh 18:24 Palace of Caiaphas, before dawn.}

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

²⁴ Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, He who hears my word and believes in the one who sent me, has everlasting life, and is not coming into judgment, but has stepped out of death into the life.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast outside. ³² And if I am exalted out of the earth, I will be attracting all peoples to myself.

²⁴ Father, I wish that they, whom you have given me, may also be with me where I am, in order that they may view my glory, which you gave me, because you loved me before the conception of the world.

¹⁷ But gratitude to God, that, though you were bondservants of sin, you obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching to which you were given; ¹⁸ and having been made free from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness.
¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for just-as you presented your members as bondservants to uncleanness and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as bondservants to righteousness leading to holiness. ²⁰ For when you were bondservants of sin, you were free in regard to the righteousness. ²¹ Therefore, what fruit were you having then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. ²² But now, having been made free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit leading to holiness and the end everlasting life.

¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not be inheriting the kingdom of God? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor pedophiles, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor the greedy ones, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will be inheriting the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of you were these, but you were fully-washed, but you were made holy, but you were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

²³ But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit; thereafter those who are Christ’s in his presence. ²⁴ Thereafter is the end, whenever he gives up the kingdom to the God and Father; whenever he does-away-with all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For it is essential for him to reign, till whenever, he should place all his enemies under his feet.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the illumination of the good-news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn for them.

¹⁷ Hence ‘Come out from the midst of them and be separate,’says the Lord, ‘And touch no unclean thing, and I will accept you\super\'b0 ¹⁸ and will be a Father to you and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.’

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his favor, in which he has favored us in the beloved,

³ among whom we also all conducted ourselves previously in the lusts of our flesh, practicing the wills of the flesh and of the mind and we were children of wrath by nature, even as the rest. ⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, because of his much love with which he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead through our trespasses, he made us alive together with the Christ; you are saved in his grace. ⁶ And God raised us up together with him and seated us together with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus; ⁷ in order that in the coming ages, he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For you are saved by the grace through the faith, and this thing, the gift of God, is not from you; ⁹ not from works, in order that not anyone should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his product, created in Christ Jesus toward good works, in which God prepared beforehand in order that we should walk in them.

¹⁸ having been darkened in their mind, having been alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance which is in them, because of the hardening of their heart,

⁸ For you were previously in darkness, but now you^\'b0 are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

¹² Because the wrestling in us is not with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world dominions of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual ones of wickedness in the heavenly places. \ulnone\nosupersub

³ For we were also previously foolish, disobedient, being misled, serving in various lusts and sensual-delights, leading lives in malice and envy, spiteful, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love of mankind had appeared: ⁵ he saved us (not from any works done in righteousness, which we practiced), but according to his mercy, through the full-washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

¹⁴ Therefore since the children have shared of flesh and blood, in like-manner he partook of the same; in order that through death, he might do-away-with the one who had the dominion of death, this is the devil;

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s ownership, that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;

¹¹ for so the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

⁸ Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already appearing.

⁸ He who is practicing sin is from the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning, to this end the Son of God was manifested, in order that he might tear-down the works of the devil.

¹ Those whose transgression is forgiven are fortunate, whose sin is covered. ² The man to whom Jehovah does not reckon sin and in whose spirit there is no deceit is fortunate.

⁴ But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared.

²⁸ just-like the Son of Man did not come to be served to, but to serve and to give his life as a redemption in exchange-for many.

²⁰ And seeing their faith, he said to him, Man, your sins have been forgiven to you.

⁴⁷ Because of which, I say to you, Her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, because she loved much, but to whom few is forgiven, the same loves few. ⁴⁸ Now he said to her, Your sins have been forgiven.
⁴⁹ And those who reclined at the meal together with him began to speak among themselves, Who is this one, who forgives even sins?
⁵⁰ But he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you. Travel in peace.

³⁸ Now Peter said to them, Repent and be immersed each one of you in the name of Jesus Christ into the forgiveness of your sins, and you will be receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. \super{F}

⁴³ To this one, all the prophets are testifying, that through his name everyone who believes in him will be receiving forgiveness of sins.

³⁸ Therefore brethren, let it be known to you that forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you through this one; ³⁹ and everyone who believes is made righteous in this one; you were not able to be made righteous from all the things of which were in the Law of Moses.

²⁸ Therefore, take-heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God, which the Lord acquired through his own blood.

²⁴ All those who believe, being made righteous freely by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God purposed as an atonement through the faith in his blood in an example of his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins, having been done beforehand,

⁶ Just-as David also says concerning the good-fortune of the man to whom God counts righteousness separate from works, ⁷ saying, ‘Those whose lawlessnesses are forgiven and whose sins are covered are fortunate. ⁸ The man to whom the Lord may never count sin, is fortunate.’

¹³ Christ bought us up out of the curse of the law, having become a curse on our behalf; for it has been written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs upon a tree,’

⁷ in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace.

³² and become kind to one another, affectionate, forgiving others in yourselves, just-as God also forgave us in Christ.

¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

¹³ tolerating one another and forgiving others in yourselves. If anyone has a complaint toward anyone; just-as the Christ forgave you, so you also forgive others.

⁶ who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all; the testimony given in its own times;

¹² nor through the blood of male-goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found everlasting redemption.

²² And according to the law, I may say, almost all things are cleansed in blood and no forgiveness happens without the shedding of blood.

¹² But having offered one continual sacrifice on behalf of sins, he sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ furthermore waiting until his enemies should be placed under the footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For he has completed in one continual offering those who are made holy.

¹⁹ But like that of an unblemished and unstained lamb, you were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, ²⁰ who indeed, having been known beforehand, before the conception of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you,

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered once for all on behalf of our sins, the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, in order that he might lead you to God; having indeed been slain in the flesh, but was given-life in the Spirit;

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

² And he is the atonement concerning our sins, but not concerning ours only, but also concerning the whole world.

¹² I am writing to you, my little-children, because your sins have been forgiven to you through his name.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and washed us away from our sins in his blood;

⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered and bought us in your blood for God out of every tribe and language and people and nation.

⁴ These are those who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are those who are following the Lamb wherever he goes. These were bought by Jesus from mankind, as the first-fruit to God and to the Lamb,

¹⁰ And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone and as it were the very heaven for clearness.

⁸ With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly and not in dark speeches and he has beheld the form of Jehovah. Why then were you* not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

²⁷ I also will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁹ when he gave to the sea its boundary that the waters should not transgress his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, ³⁰ then I was by him, a master workman. And I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him, ³¹ rejoicing in his habitable earth. And my delight was with the sons of men.

²⁶ And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
²⁷ And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire. And there was brightness all around him.
²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face and I heard a voice speaking.

¹
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and resided among us (and we saw his glory, glory like that of the only begotten from the Father), full of favor and truth.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at anytime; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, that one has described him.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but may have everlasting life.

⁹ Jesus says to him, So-much time I have been with you and you have not known me Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can you say this? Show us the Father.

²⁴ If I had not done the works which no other has done among them, then they were having no sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁹ Because, whom he knew beforehand, he also predetermined, one transformed to the image of his Son, that he himself might be the firstborn among many brethren;

⁶ who, existing in the form of God, did not deem it a seizure to be equal to God,

¹⁶ because all things were created by him, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all things and all things are standing in him.

¹⁷ Now to the King of the ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only wise God, is honor and glory forevermore. Amen.

¹⁶ he who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no one from man has seen, nor is able to see: to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen.

³ It is he who, being the brightness of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and is carrying all things by his declaration of power. Having made a cleansing of our sins through himself, he sat down by the right hand of the Majesty in the high place;

⁶ And again, whenever he brought the firstborn into the inhabited-earth, he says, ‘And let all the messengers of God worship him.’

²⁷ In faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the fury of the king; for he persevered, as seeing the invisible one.

¹⁴ And write to the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea:
The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the one in the beginning from the creation of God, says these things:

³⁹ Know therefore this day and lay it to your heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath. There is none else.

¹¹ Yours, O Jehovah, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah and you are exalted as head above all.

²⁵ You laid of old the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of your hands. ²⁶ They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will grow old like a garment. As a raiment you will change them and they will be changed, ²⁷ but you are the same and your years will have no end.

⁴ Jehovah has made everything for its own end, yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁹ O you who tell good news to Zion, get up on a high mountain. O you who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up, do not be afraid, say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your* God!
¹⁰ Behold, the lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him and his recompense before him. ¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those who have their young.
¹² Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and measured out heaven with the span and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?

²¹ the people whom I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

²⁴ Jehovah says thus, your Redeemer and he who formed you from the womb: I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches forth the heavens alone, who spreads abroad the earth (who is with me?),

³ All things became through him, and without him nothing became that has become into being.

³⁸ For I have confidence, that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor present things, nor future things,

³⁶ It is because all things are from him and through him and to him. The glory is for him, forever. Amen.

¹⁰ to a stewardship of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth.

²⁰ which he worked in the Christ, having raised him up from the dead and seated him by his right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ up above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is being named, not only in this age, but also in the future age. \ulnone\nosupersub

⁹ and to enlighten all with what the stewardship of the mystery is, of which has been hidden from the ages, in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; ¹⁰ in order that now the multifaceted wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places through the congregation of believers. \ulnone\nosupersub

¹⁰ in order that every knee should bow in the name of Jesus, those from the heavenly and earthly and subterranean places,

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things to himself, whether things upon the earth or things upon the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross, through him.

¹⁰ And you are fulfilled in him, who is the head of all principality and authority;

¹⁵ having stripped off the principalities and the authorities, he publicly made a show of them, triumphing over them in it.

² whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages.

¹⁰ And, ‘You, Lord, at the beginnings, founded the earth and the heavens are the works of your hands: ¹¹ they themselves will be perishing, but you are remaining and they will all become-obsolete like a garment; ¹² and you will coil them up like an outer dressing and they will be changed, but you are the same and your years will not be failing.’

¹⁰ For it was suitable for him, because of whom are all things and through whom are all things, having led many sons to glory, to complete the author of their salvation through sufferings.

³ For he has been deemed worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who constructed the house has more honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God.

²² who is at the right hand of God, having traveled into heaven; with messengers and authorities and powers having been made subject to him.

¹³ And every created thing which is in the heaven and upon the earth and underneath the earth and upon the sea and all things in them, I heard saying, To the one who is sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb, is the thanks and the honor and the glory and the dominion, forevermore. Amen.
¹⁴ And the four living creatures are saying the amen; and the elders fell down and worshiped him.

⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's and he has set the world upon them.

³ when the earth and all the inhabitants of it are dissolved. I have set up the pillars of it. Selah.

²² Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of long-ago. ²³ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth was,

¹¹ I, even I, am Jehovah and besides me there is no savior. ¹² I have declared and I have saved and I have shown and there was no strange god among you*. Therefore you* are my witnesses, says Jehovah and I am God. ¹³ Yes, since the day was I am he and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will work and who can hinder it?

⁶ Jehovah says thus, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first and I am the last and besides me there is no God.

² But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you he will come out to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from long-ago, from the days of everlasting.

¹
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. ² This one was in the beginning with God. ³ All things became through him, and without him nothing became that has become into being.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father is working until now, and I am working. ¹⁸ Therefore the Jews were seeking even more to kill him because of this, because he was not only tearing-down the Sabbath, but also that he was saying God is his own Father, making himself equal to God.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

⁵ And now, Father, glorify me with yourself in the glory which I was holding with you before the world was.

²⁸ For we live and move and are in him; as some also, according to your own poets, have said, For we are also his offspring.

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

¹¹ saying, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven congregations : to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell like one dead at his feet. And he placed his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear; I am the first and the last,

⁸ And write to the messenger of the congregation in Smyrna:
The first and the last, who became dead and lived again says these things:

² You are fairer than the sons of men. Favor is poured into your lips. Therefore God has blessed you everlasting.
³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, your glory and your majesty. ⁴ And in your majesty ride on prosperously because of truth and gentleness and righteousness. And your right hand will teach you awesome things.
⁵ Your arrows are sharp. The peoples fall under you. They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

¹⁰ My beloved is white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand.

¹³ Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up and will be very high.

⁸ But do not be called Rabbi; for only one is your leader, the Christ, and you are all brethren.

¹⁸ And Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to me in heaven and upon earth.

¹⁶ And we all received out of his fullness and favor in exchange-for favor.

²⁷ It is he who is coming after me, who has become before me. I am not worthy that I should loose the strap of his shoes.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore in this, my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ It is essential for that to grow, but for me to be diminished.
³¹ He who is coming from above is over all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. He who is coming from heaven is over all.

³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit from measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he dies, he will be living; ²⁶ and everyone who is living and believes in me may never die–forever. Do you believe this?

²³ If the Christ was ordained to suffer, if the Christ was first from the resurrection of the dead, then he is about to proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.

³ But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Christ is God.

²⁰ But now Christ has been raised up from the dead, he became the first-fruit of those who have fallen-asleep. ²¹ For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man. ²² For just-as all die in Adam, so all will also be given-life in Christ. ²³ But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit; thereafter those who are Christ’s in his presence.

²⁵ For it is essential for him to reign, till whenever, he should place all his enemies under his feet.

²² And he subjected all things under his feet and gave him to be head above all things to the congregation of believers, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all in all.

¹⁵ But telling the truth in love, that we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, the Christ; ¹⁶ from whom all the body is fitly framed and knitted together, through every supplying joint, according to the working in measure of each part, which is making the growth of the body to the building up of itself in love.

²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is also the head of the congregation of believers, he is the savior of the body.

²⁴ Now I am rejoicing in my sufferings on your behalf and I am filling up in my flesh, the things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ on behalf of his body, which is the congregation of believers;

¹⁰ And you are fulfilled in him, who is the head of all principality and authority; ¹¹ in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the stripping off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ, ¹² having been buried together with him in the immersion, in which you were also raised up together with him through the faith from the working of God, who raised him up from the dead. ¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; ¹⁴ having wiped-away the handwriting in the decrees that were against us, which were an adversary to us. He has also taken these out of the midst of us, having nailed it to the cross,

⁵ For to which of the messengers has he previously said, ‘You are my Son; I have fathered you today.’? And again, ‘I will be a Father to him and he will be for Son to me.’? ⁶ And again, whenever he brought the firstborn into the inhabited-earth, he says, ‘And let all the messengers of God worship him.’

¹ What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we saw and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

¹⁸ and the Living One, and I became dead and behold, I am living forevermore and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Amen.

⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered and bought us in your blood for God out of every tribe and language and people and nation.
¹⁰ And you made them kings and priests to our God, and they will be reigning over the earth.
¹¹ And I saw and I heard a voice like that of many messengers in circle of the throne and the living creatures and the elders, tens of thousands of tens of thousands; ¹² saying in a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb who has been slaughtered to receive the power and the riches, and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and thanks. ¹³ And every created thing which is in the heaven and upon the earth and underneath the earth and upon the sea and all things in them, I heard saying, To the one who is sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb, is the thanks and the honor and the glory and the dominion, forevermore. Amen.

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger sounded, and there became loud voices in heaven saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will be reigning forevermore.

⁶ And he said to me, I have become the Alpha and the Omega, I am the beginning and the end. I will be giving freely to the one who is thirsty out of the spring of the water of life.

²³ And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, in order that they should appear in it; for the glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations will be walking in its light and the kings of the earth bring glory to him and the honor of the nations into it.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

²⁵ Jesus answered and said at that time, I profess you, O Father, Lord of heaven and the earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants. ²⁶ Yes, Father, because thus it became a delight before you. ²⁷ All things have been given to me by my Father and no one fully knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father fully, except the Son and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him. \ulnone\nosupersub

²¹ Jesus was glad in the spirit in that same hour, and said, I profess you, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants. Yes Father, because thus it became a delight before you.

³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit from measure.

³ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

⁵ Having predetermined us to the sonship through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the delight of his will,

²³ which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all in all.

¹⁰ He who came down is also the same as he who ascended up above all the heavens, in order that he might fill all things.

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

⁹ because all the fullness of the Deity is dwelling in him bodily.

¹¹ where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free man, but Christ is all things and in all things.

³⁰ And no sin offering, from which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, will be eaten; it will be burnt with fire.

¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ¹¹ Truth springs out of the earth and righteousness has looked down from heaven.

¹⁷ And it will be the ruler's part to give the burnt offerings and the meal offerings and the drink offerings, in the feasts and on the new moons and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will prepare the sin offering and the meal offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
¹⁸ The lord Jehovah says thus: In the first month, in the first day of the month, you will take a young bullock without blemish and you will cleanse the sanctuary. ¹⁹ And the priest will take of the blood of the sin offering and put it upon the door-posts of the house and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. ²⁰ And so you will do on the seventh day of the month for each one who errs and for him who is simple. So will you* make atonement for the house.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.
²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times.
²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one will be cut off and will have nothing. And the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary and the end of it will be with a flood. And even to the end will be war; desolations are determined.

⁵ And this man will be our peace.
When the Assyrian will come into our land and when he will tread in our palaces, then we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal men.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king comes to you. He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.
¹⁰ And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem and the battle bow will be cut off. And he will speak peace to the nations. And his dominion will be from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and peace upon earth, in men–delight.

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days till this hour, I was fasting and praying in the ninth hour in my house, and behold, a man stood in my sight in bright apparel,

¹ Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁸ But all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and gave the service of reconciliation to us; ¹⁹ as that, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ not counting to them their trespasses and having placed the word of reconciliation in us. ²⁰ Therefore, we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ; as though God is encouraging you through us. We are beseeching you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For the one who knew no sin, he was made the sin offering on our behalf; in order that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who were previously from afar have become near to him in the blood of the Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made us both one and tore-down the middle wall of the fence, ¹⁵ having done-away-with the hostility in his flesh, which is the Law of commandments in decrees; in order that he might create in himself the two into one new man, thus making peace; ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility in himself. ¹⁷ And when he came, he proclaimed the good-news of peace to you who were from afar and peace to those who were near;

²¹ And you were previously alienated and were enemies in mind, in evil works, but yet he reconciled you\super\'b0 ²² in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and unblemished and irreproachable in his sight;

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, from the dead in the blood of an everlasting covenant, ²¹ may he complete you in every good work, that you should practice his will, doing what is well pleasing in his sight in you, through Jesus Christ in whom is the glory, forevermore. Amen.

⁹ In this, the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world in order that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atonement on behalf of our sins.

³⁰ slandering, spiteful to God, insolent, haughty, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

⁹ Therefore much more, having been now made righteous in his blood, we will be saved from the wrath of God through him. ¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in his life;

⁷ because the mindset of the flesh is hostility toward God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither is it able to be; ⁸ and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

¹ Even you were dead in your trespasses and sins, ² in which you previously walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which now is working in the sons of disobedience; ³ among whom we also all conducted ourselves previously in the lusts of our flesh, practicing the wills of the flesh and of the mind and we were children of wrath by nature, even as the rest.

¹² that you were separate from Christ at the time, having been alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and were godless in the world.

¹⁹ Therefore consequently, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the holy-ones and members of the household of God,

¹⁵ Indeed, all things are clean to the clean, but nothing is clean to those who have been defiled and are unbelieving, but both their mind and their conscience have been defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but they are denying him by their works, being detestable and disobedient and unapproved toward every good work.

³ For we were also previously foolish, disobedient, being misled, serving in various lusts and sensual-delights, leading lives in malice and envy, spiteful, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love of mankind had appeared: ⁵ he saved us (not from any works done in righteousness, which we practiced), but according to his mercy, through the full-washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ in order that we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life, having been made righteous in that grace.

⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wills to be a friend of the world is designated as an enemy of God.

¹⁵ Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

⁵ Behold, even the moon has no brightness. And the stars are not pure in his sight.

⁷ Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.

⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life in his sight.

⁴ So-then my brethren, you were also slain to the law through the body of Christ; that you should become joined to a different one, that is to the one who was raised up from the dead, in order that we might bear-fruit to God.

² For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to the Christ.

⁴ just-as he chose us in him before the conception of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished in his sight in love.

¹⁵ having done-away-with the hostility in his flesh, which is the Law of commandments in decrees; in order that he might create in himself the two into one new man, thus making peace; ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility in himself.

²⁷ in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished.

⁷ For God did not call us in uncleanness, but in holiness.

¹⁰ in which will, we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

²⁰ a way which he inaugurated for us, a fresh and living way, through the curtain, that is, his flesh;

¹⁴ Hence, beloved, while expecting these things, be diligent that you may be found in peace, unstained and unblemished in his sight.

²⁴ Now to the one who is able to guard us from falling and to stand us in the sight of his glory, unblemished in gladness,

²⁵ This day I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who will hear the report of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.

¹⁹ And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you are drawn away and worship them and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

¹³ Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah will flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green

⁵ But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of wickedness.
Peace be upon Israel.

⁶⁶ You will pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.

²⁶ When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits unrighteousness and dies in it, in his unrighteousness that he has done, he will die.

³ And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is sure as the morning and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.
⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your* goodness is as a morning cloud and as the dew that goes away early.

⁶ and those who are turned back from following Jehovah and those who have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him.

²⁴ Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and practices them, he will be similar to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain came down and the rivers came up and the winds blew and fell down upon that house, and it did not fall; for it had been founded upon the rock.

¹³ But he who has endured to the end, this one will be saved. ¹⁴ And this good-news of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited-earth, for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will be coming.

⁴⁸ He is similar to a man building a house, who dug and then deepened and placed its foundation upon the rock, and when a deluge happened, the river bursts against that house and was not strong-enough to shake it; for it had been founded upon the rock.

¹³ But those upon the rock are those who, whenever they hear, accept the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a short time believe, and in time of temptation, withdraw. ¹⁴ But what fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and while they are traveling on with life, they are choked by anxieties and riches and sensual-delights of this life, and they are not bringing themselves to maturity. ¹⁵ But that seed in the good soil, these are such as in a good and beautiful heart, having heard the word, hold-onto it and are bearing-fruit with endurance.

³² But I besought concerning you, in order that your faith may not fail, and someday having turned back again, establish your brethren.

³⁰ While speaking these things, many believed in him.
³¹ Therefore Jesus said to those Jews who have believed in him, If you abide in my word, then you truly are my disciples; ³² and you will know the truth and the truth will be making you free.

⁶ If anyone is not abiding in me, he was cast outside like a branch and was dried up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire and it is burned.

⁹ Just-as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will be abiding in my love; just-as I have kept my Father’s commandments and am abiding in his love.

¹⁷ because he was numbered together with us and was allotted his inheritance in this service.

²⁵ to receive the inheritance of this service and apostleship from which Judas transgressed, so as to travel on to his own place.

⁵ Now Jews were dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

¹² And there is salvation in none other; for neither is there any other name, that has been given among men, in which it is essential for us to be saved.

²³ who, having come and having seen the favor of God, rejoiced and was encouraging all with purpose of heart to remain in the Lord,

²² further strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to remain in the faith, and that it is essential for us through many afflictions to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴ But I make account of nothing, nor am I holding my life as precious to myself, as I desire to complete my course with joy, and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to thoroughly testify the good-news of the favor of God.

¹⁶ But rise up and stand upon your feet; for to this end I have appeared to you, to assign you to be an attendant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which will be seen by you.

¹⁸ But I am saying, ‘Did they not hear?’But-rather, ‘Their sounds went out into all the earth and their declarations to the ends of the inhabited-earth.’

¹⁶ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, having done the sacred work of the good-news of God, in order that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been made holy in the Holy Spirit.

⁵ Therefore, who is Paul? And who is Apollos? But servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each.

¹ So let a man count us as attendants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² But furthermore, it is required in stewards, in order that someone should be found faithful. ³ But it is at the least concern to me, in order that I might be judged by you or by a human judgment day. But I am not even judging myself.

⁵⁸ So-then my beloved brethren, become grounded, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in the Lord.

⁶ who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not from the writing, but from the Spirit; for the writing kills, but the Spirit gives-life.

¹ Because of this, having this service, just-as we have been shown-mercy, we are not depressed.

¹⁸ But all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and gave the service of reconciliation to us; ¹⁹ as that, God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ not counting to them their trespasses and having placed the word of reconciliation in us. ²⁰ Therefore, we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ; as though God is encouraging you through us. We are beseeching you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

¹¹ I fear for you, lest somehow I have vainly labored toward you.

⁷ You were running well; who hindered you, saying, The truth is not to be obeyed?

⁹ Now we should not be depressed in well doing; for we will be reaping in our own time, if we do not faint.

²¹ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord;

⁷ of which I became a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. ⁸ This grace was given to me the least of all the holy-ones, to proclaim the good-news of the untraceable riches of Christ among the Gentiles;

¹⁷ for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through the faith,

¹⁶ from whom all the body is fitly framed and knitted together, through every supplying joint, according to the working in measure of each part, which is making the growth of the body to the building up of itself in love.

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard beforehand in the word of the truth of the good-news. ⁶ This good-news which is present for you; just-as it also is in all the world. And is bearing-fruit and growing, just-as it also does in you, from the day you heard and fully knew the grace of God in truth;

²⁵ of which I became a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

⁷ having been rooted and being built up in him and being confirmed in the faith, just-as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

³ that no one be shook up in these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are destined for this thing.

⁵ Because of this, no longer forbearing it, I also sent Timothy, that I might know your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might become vain.

⁸ But we, being of the day, should be sober; having clothed yourselves with the breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet-- the hope of salvation.

¹² And I have gratitude to the one who empowered me, namely, the Christ, Jesus our Lord, because he deemed me faithful, placing me into his service;

⁷ to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

¹¹ to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles. ¹² Because of which case, I also am suffering these things too, but I am not ashamed; for I know the one whom I have believed and I have confidence that he is able to guard my deposit consigned to him for that day.

⁵ But you, be sober in all things, suffer evil treatment, do the work of an evangelist, fully assure your service.
⁶ For I am already a drink-offering and the time of my departure stands-ready.

⁷ in order that we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life, having been made righteous in that grace.

⁶ but Christ was faithful as a son, over his house; whose house we are, if indeed we hold-onto our boldness and the boasting of our hope steadfast till the end.

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high-priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has gone through the heavens, let us hold-fast our confession.

¹⁹ This hope which we have as an anchor of the soul, is both secure and steadfast and entering into the inner side of the curtain;

³⁸ But my righteous one will be living from faith and if he retreats back, my soul does not delight in him.’

³ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious, who according to his much mercy has born us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁵ who are kept through faith in the power of God, into a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁸ For while speaking flattering-words of futility, they entice (with the lusts of the flesh to unbridled-lusts) those who really had fled away from those who conduct themselves in error. ¹⁹ They are promising them freedom, when they themselves are bondservants of corruption. For in what anyone has been succumbed, in this, he has also been enslaved. ²⁰ For if, having fled away from the defilements of the world in the full knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and having been again entangled, they are succumbed in these things, the last state has become worse to them than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them to have not known fully the way of righteousness, than to turn away from the holy commandment given to them after having fully known it. ²² But it has befallen to them as the way of the true proverb, ‘ The dog having turning again toward his own vomit,’and the sow that had fully-washed, to wallowing in the mud.

²⁷ And as for you, the anointing which you received from him abides in you and you have no need that anyone should teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is not a lie and just-as it taught you, you will be abiding in him.

¹⁰ Let no one fear the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some from you into prison, in order that you may be tested and you will have affliction ten days. Become faithful to death and I will be giving you the crown of life.

¹¹ You are fortunate whenever they reproach and persecute you and say every evil word against you–lying, because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is much in the heavens; for thus, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

³ But not only in this, but we are also boasting in our afflictions, knowing that affliction is working endurance;

⁵ Because just-as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so our encouragement also abounds through the Christ. ⁶ But whether we are afflicted, it is on behalf of your encouragement and salvation; which is working in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also are suffering; and our hope is steadfast on your behalf. If whether we are encouraged, it is on behalf of your encouragement and salvation, ⁷ knowing that, just-as you are partners of the sufferings, so you^\'b0 are also of the comfort. ⁸ For brethren, we do not wish you to be ignorant in regard to our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were burdened down surpassingly, beyond our power, so-that we despaired even to be living.

⁸ We are being pressed in everything, but not distressed; being perplexed, but not despairing; ⁹ being persecuted, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not being destroyed; ¹⁰ always carrying around in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus should also be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are habitually given up to death because of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus should also be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So-then indeed, death is working in us, but life in you.

⁴ My boldness of speech toward you is much; my boasting on your behalf is much. I have been filled with your encouragement. I over-abound with joy in all our affliction.

²³ Are they servants of Christ? (I speak, as if having insanity) I am beyond them : in labors even-more, in lashes surpassingly, in prisons even-more, in deaths often. ²⁴ Five-times, I received forty lashes beside one from the Jews. ²⁵ I was lashed with rods three-times. I was stoned once. I was shipwrecked three-times. I have spent a night and a day in the depth of the sea; ²⁶ often in journeys, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils by false brethren; ²⁷ in labor and hardship, often in sleeplessness, in famine and thirst, often in fasts, in cold and nakedness.

¹ Because of this, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

¹³ Hence I am asking you not to be depressed at my afflictions on your behalf, which are your glory.

¹⁷ But even if I am a drink-offering upon the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I am rejoicing, and even rejoicing together with you all. ¹⁸ Now you also, rejoice and rejoice together with me in the same thing.

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being transformed to his death;

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the congregation of believers; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, in order that he might become foremost in all things.

⁸ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me, his prisoner, but suffer-hardship together with the good-news according to the power of God,

⁹ in which I am suffering evil treatment, even as far as bonds, like a criminal, but the word of God has not been bound. ¹⁰ Because of this, I endure all things, because of the chosen, in order that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory.

² My brethren, deem it with all joy, whenever you fall into various temptations,

¹⁵ But I wrote more-daringly to you brethren individually, as reminding you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, having done the sacred work of the good-news of God, in order that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been made holy in the Holy Spirit.
¹⁷ Therefore, I have my boasting in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of anything of the things which Christ did not work through me, except for the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and works, ¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So-then, I have fulfilled the good-news of the Christ from Jerusalem and in a circle, as far as Illyricum.

¹⁷ For if I am doing this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if I do so involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

⁷ But instead, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the good-news of the uncircumcision, just-as Peter that of the circumcision ⁸ (for he who worked in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision also worked in me to the Gentiles).

² Preach the word. Stand-ready opportunely and inopportunely. Reprove, rebuke and encourage in all patience and teaching. ³ For the time will be coming when they will not be tolerating the sound teaching, but having itchy ears, they will be piling up for themselves teachers according to their own lusts; ⁴ and will indeed turn their ears away from the truth and their ears will be turned aside to fables. ⁵ But you, be sober in all things, suffer evil treatment, do the work of an evangelist, fully assure your service.

¹⁴ The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him and he will show them his covenant.

¹¹ But he answered and said to them, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but it has not given to those men.

¹¹ And he said to them, You have been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things happen in parables;

¹⁰ But he said, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but it is in parables to the rest; in order that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not understand.

²⁵ (14:24) Now to the one who is able to establish you^\'b0 according to my good-news and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept-silent in times everlasting, \ulnone\nosupersub ²⁶ (14:25) but now having been manifested and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, has made known to all the nations, into the obedience of the faith; \ulnone\nosupersub

⁷ but we are speaking God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predetermined before the ages, for our glory.

³ that he made known the mystery to me according to revelation, just-as I wrote before in few words, ⁴ to which, you are able, by reading it, to perceive my understanding in the mystery of the Christ; ⁵ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it now was revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit. ⁶ The mystery is that the Gentiles are to be joint heirs and a joint body and joint partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news, ⁷ of which I became a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. ⁸ This grace was given to me the least of all the holy-ones, to proclaim the good-news of the untraceable riches of Christ among the Gentiles;

¹⁰ but now has been made manifest through the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who indeed has done-away-with death and has illuminated both life and incorruption through the good-news,

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. My flesh also will dwell in hope.
¹⁰ Because you will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will you allow your holy man to see corruption.
¹¹ You made known to me the path of life. You will fill me of joy with your countenance.

²¹ nor will they say, Behold, here! Or, behold there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.

¹⁷ the Spirit of the truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not view him, nor knows him, but you know him, because he is abiding with you and will be in you.

²⁰ You will know in that day that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves me, he will be keeping my word and my Father will love him, and we will be coming to him and we will be making our abode with him.

² Every branch which is not bringing forth fruit in me, he takes it away and every branch which is bringing forth fruit, he prunes it, in order that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me and I in you. Just-as the branch is not able to bring forth fruit from itself, if it does not abide in the vine; so neither can you if you do not abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, this one is bringing forth much fruit, because you are not able to do anything separate from me.

²² And the glory which you have given me I have given to them; they may be one, just-as we are one; ²³ I am in them and you are in me, in order that they may be completed into one and the world may know that you sent me and you loved them, just-as you loved me.

²⁶ and I made known to them your name and will be making it known; in order that the love in which you loved me may be in them and I am in them.

² through whom we also have had our access to this grace in the faith in which we are standing, and we are boasting in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹⁸ For I reason that the sufferings of this current time are not worthy of complaint to the glory which is about to be revealed to us. ¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God.

³³ O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and untraceable his ways!

¹² But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we might know the things which were granted to us by God. ¹³ We also speak these things, not in the taught things from mankind, in words of wisdom, but in the taught things from the Holy Spirit; combining together with spiritual words of wisdom, spiritual things.


¹⁴ Now the physical man is not accepting the things from the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually examined.

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God is dwelling in you?

¹⁷ For the momentary light weight of our affliction, is working for us a surpassingly-better everlasting weight of glory;

¹⁶ And what alliance has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God; just-as God said, ‘I will be dwelling among them and will be walking among them, and I will be their God and they will be a people to me.’

¹⁵ But when God was delighted–he separated me from my mother’s womb, having called me through his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, in order that I may proclaim the good-news of him among the nations. Immediately, I did not consult with flesh and blood;

²⁰ I have been crucified together with Christ. I am now no longer living, but Christ is living in me and that life which I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith, the faith which is of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up on my behalf.

¹⁹ My little-children, of whom I am in travail again till whenever Christ has been formed in you.

¹⁷ in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the holy-ones,

²² in whom you are also built together into a residence of God in the Spirit.

¹⁶ in order that he may give to you, according to the riches of his glory, to be powerful with his power, through his Spirit in the inward man; ¹⁷ for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through the faith,

¹⁹ Now my God will be filling every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard beforehand in the word of the truth of the good-news.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, our hope;

⁴ You are from God, my little-children and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

²⁰ Behold, I am standing at the door and knocking; if anyone hears my voice and if he opens the door, I will enter to him and will dine with him and he with me.

⁵ Behold, I have taught you* statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that you* should do so in the midst of the land where you* go in to possess it.

⁵ O you* simple, understand prudence, and you* fools, be of an understanding heart.

⁹ And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.

¹⁵ And I will give you* shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you* with knowledge and understanding.

¹⁰ To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised and they cannot listen. Behold, the word of Jehovah has become a reproach to them; they have no delight in it.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me.
¹⁸ When I say to a wicked man, You will surely die and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked man from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
¹⁹ Yet if you warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
²⁰ Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits unrighteousness and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered, but I will require his blood at your hand.
²¹ Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous man not sin and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning and you have delivered your soul.

¹⁰ Behold, the day, behold, it comes. Your doom has gone forth. The rod has blossomed; pride has budded.

⁴ then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and takes no warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be upon his own head.
⁵ He heard the sound of the trumpet and took no warning; his blood will be upon him. But if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
⁶ But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the watchman's hand.
⁷ So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me. ⁸ When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, you will surely die and you do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
⁹ Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the future wrath?

⁴⁸ Therefore you will be complete, just-like your Father is complete, the one in the heavens.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, as many things as I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the earth.
Amen.

³⁴ And Jesus came forth, and saw a large crowd and he had compassion upon them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd and he began to teach them many things.

¹⁵ For I will be giving you a mouth and wisdom, which all who lay in opposition to you will not be able to stand against, nor to speak against.

²⁰ and that he may send Christ Jesus who has been assigned to you;

⁴² And they were not ceasing, teaching and proclaiming the good-news of Jesus as the Christ every day both in the temple and in every house.

⁵ Now Philip went down to a city of Samaria and was preaching to them the Christ.

³⁵ Now Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, proclaimed the good-news of Jesus to him.

²⁰ And immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰ Now there were some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, having come into Antioch, were also speaking to the Grecian Jews, proclaiming the good-news of the Lord Jesus.

³⁸ Therefore brethren, let it be known to you that forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you through this one;

³ opening and placing before them that it was essential for the Christ to have suffered and to have risen up from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I am proclaiming to you, is the Christ.

¹⁸ Now also some of the Epicureans and Stoic philosophers were encountering him and some were saying, Whatever does this babbler wish to say?
Some said, He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons, because he is proclaiming the good-news of Jesus and the resurrection.

²⁷ For I did not retreat back from proclaiming to you the whole plan of God. ²⁸ Therefore, take-heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God, which the Lord acquired through his own blood.

³¹ Hence watch, remembering that for three years I ceased not from admonishing each one of you^\'b0 every day with tears.

²⁵ (14:24) Now to the one who is able to establish you^\'b0 according to my good-news and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept-silent in times everlasting, \ulnone\nosupersub

²³ but we preach Christ as having been crucified, indeed an offense to the Jews, but foolishness to the Greeks;

³⁰ But you are from him, in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom and righteousness and holiness and redemption from God;

⁶ Now we are speaking wisdom among the mature ones; yet a wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being done-away-with;

¹⁵ But the spiritual one is indeed examining all things, but he himself is examined by no one.

¹⁴ I am not writing these things to be embarrassing you, but I am admonishing you as my beloved children.

⁸ for the word of wisdom is given to one through the Spirit, and the word of knowledge to another according to the same Spirit;

¹² Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised up from the dead, how are some among you saying that there is no resurrection of the dead?

⁵ For we are not preaching ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord and ourselves as your bondservants because of Jesus.

⁸ This grace was given to me the least of all the holy-ones, to proclaim the good-news of the untraceable riches of Christ among the Gentiles;

¹¹ And he gave some to be : the apostles, and the prophets, and the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers ¹² for the equipping of the holy-ones, for the work of the service, for the building up of the body of the Christ, ¹³ till we all might achieve to the unity of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ,

¹⁵ Some indeed are preaching the Christ even because of envy and strife, but some also through their delight. ¹⁶ Those are indeed proclaiming the Christ out of selfish ambition, not purely, assuming to bring affliction to my bonds. ¹⁷ But the latter ones do it out of love, knowing that I am destined for the defense of the good-news. ¹⁸ For what then? Except that in every manner, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and I am rejoicing in this, but also, I will be rejoicing again.

²² in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and unblemished and irreproachable in his sight;

⁶ and not to go beyond limits and takes-advantage of his brother in the matter, because the Lord is an avenger concerning all these things, just-as we have also spoken to you beforehand and thoroughly testified.

¹² But brethren, we request of you to know those who are laboring among you, and are governing over you, and admonishing you in the Lord; ¹³ and to deem them exceptionally in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. ¹⁴ But brethren, we encourage you : admonish the disorderly, console the fainthearted, hold up the weak, have patience toward all.

² Therefore, it is essential for the overseer to be: unimpeachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, orderly, hospitable, skilled in teaching;

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness : God was manifested in the flesh, was made righteous in the Spirit, was seen by messengers, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

²⁴ But it is essential for the Lord’s bondservant to not quarrel, but to be mild toward all, skilled in teaching, tolerating it when being mistreated, ²⁵ in meekness educating those who are placing themselves in opposition; if maybe God might give them repentance to come to the full knowledge of the truth,

¹⁴ For he has completed in one continual offering those who are made holy.

¹⁵ And deem the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just-as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom which was given to him;

²⁰ And so, I am making it my aim to proclaim the good-news, not where Christ was already named, in order that I might not build upon another’s foundation;

²⁵ But everyone who struggles in the race exercises self-control in all things. Therefore indeed, those men do it in order that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we receive an incorruptible crown. \ulnone\nosupersub ²⁶ Now-then, I run so, as not with uncertainty. I am combating so, as not just whipping the air; ²⁷ but I am buffeting my body and enslaving it; lest somehow after having preached to others, I myself might become unapproved.

⁶ And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God, who is working all things in all.

¹¹ but the one and the same Spirit is working all these things, sectioning off to each one in his own way just-as he wills.

¹⁰ But I am what I am by the grace of God and his grace toward me has not become empty, but I labored even-more than they all did; but not I, but the grace of God which was together with me.

⁹ Hence we also make it our aim to be well pleasing to him, whether at home, or away from home.

⁵ in lashes, in prisons, in unrest, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fasts;

³ since you are seeking proof of the Christ speaking in me; who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.

¹⁹ and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the dominion of his strength,

⁷ of which I became a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

²⁰ Now to the one who is able to do, exceptionally beyond all things, what we are asking or are perceiving, according to the power which is working in us,

³⁰ having the same struggle such-as you saw in me, and now are hearing to be in me.

¹³ For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work, on behalf of his delight.

¹⁶ Keep holding onto the word of life, for a boast to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labored in vain.

¹ For I wish you to know how-vast a struggle I have concerning you and those in Laodicea and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

⁹ For brethren, you remember our labor and hardship. For we were working night and day, that we might not burden any of you while we preached to you the good-news of God.

⁸ nor did we eat bread freely from anyone, but in labor and hardship, working night and day, that we might not burden anyone of you;

¹⁰ Because of this, I endure all things, because of the chosen, in order that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory.

⁴ You have not yet stood against this, as far as blood, in your struggle against sin.

³ and you have endurance and did bear because of my name and have not fatigued.
