¹⁷ And Manoah said to the messenger of Jehovah, What is your name, that, when your words happen, we may do you honor? ¹⁸ And the messenger of Jehovah said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
¹⁹ So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering and offered it upon the rock to Jehovah. And the messenger did wondrously and Manoah and his wife looked on, ²⁰ for it happened, when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, that the messenger of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on and they fell on their faces to the ground.
²¹ But the messenger of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the messenger of Jehovah.
²² And Manoah said to his wife, We will surely die, because we have seen God. ²³ But his wife said to him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.

And he is likely to die in the place where he is because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.
¹⁰ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit before he dies.
¹¹ So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury and took from there rags and worn-out garments and let them down by cords into the pit to Jeremiah. ¹² And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.

¹ Therefore, I, the prisoner in the Lord, am encouraging you to walk worthily of the calling in which you were called,

¹⁴ However you did well, having shared together with my affliction. ¹⁵ Now you also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the good-news, when I went out from Macedonia, no congregation shared with me in the word of the giving and receiving, except you only. ¹⁶ Because even in Thessalonica, you sent once and then twice to my need. ¹⁷ Not that I am seeking after the present, but I am seeking after the fruit that increases to your account. ¹⁸ But I have all things, and I am abounding.

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.

²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; he created them male and female.

¹⁶ But to the wicked man God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes and that you have taken my covenant in your mouth, ¹⁷ since you hate instruction and cast my words behind you?
¹⁸ When you saw a thief, you consented with him and have been partaker with adulterers. ¹⁹ You give your mouth to evil and your tongue frames deceit. ²⁰ You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.
²¹ These things you have done and I kept silence. You thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself. But I will reprove you and set them in order before your eyes.
²² Now consider this, you* who forget God, lest I tear you* in pieces and there is none to deliver:

¹⁵ Drink waters out of your own cistern and flowing waters out of your own well. ¹⁶ Should your springs be dispersed abroad and streams of water in the streets? ¹⁷ Let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.
¹⁸ Let your fountain be blessed and rejoice in the wife of your youth: ¹⁹ a loving female-deer and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times and be ravished always with her love.
²⁰ For why should you, my son, be ravished with an strange woman and embrace the bosom of a foreigner?
²¹ Because the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah and he makes level all his paths.
²² His own iniquities will take a wicked man and he will be held with the cords of his sin. ²³ He will die for lack of instruction. And he will go astray in the greatness of his folly.

¹³ Now God will be judging those who are outside, and you will be taking away the evil man from among yourselves.

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,

² But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband give to the wife her owed benevolence and likewise also the wife give to the husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. ⁵ Do not deprive one another, except from agreement for some time, in order that you may occupy yourselves to fasting and to prayer, and you may come to the same again, in order that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your shortage of self-control. ⁶ But I am saying this according to concession, not according to commandment. ⁷ For I wish that all men were even as I myself am. But each one has his own gift from God, indeed the one is so and the one is thus.
⁸ But I am saying to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. ⁹ But if they do not exercise self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to be on fire. ¹⁰ But I command to those who have married, (not I, but the Lord): the wife is not to be separated from her husband, ¹¹ (but even if she is separated, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to leave his wife.
¹² But to the rest I say, (not the Lord); if some brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, let him not leave her. ¹³ And if a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Consequently, your children were unclean, but now they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the unbelieving spouse separates, let the one separate; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. Now God has called us in peace. ¹⁶ For what do you know O wife, if you will be saving your husband? Or what do you know O husband, if you will be saving your wife?

³⁸ So-then both he who betroths does well, and he who does not betroth is doing better.

⁵ Have we no authority to lead around a wife, (a sister in the Lord), even as the rest of the apostles and the brethren of the Lord and Cephas?

¹⁰ For it is essential for all of us to appear before the judicial-seat of the Christ; in order that each one may get back the things done in the body, for what he practiced, whether good or evil.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, unbridled-lusts,

²¹ envies, murders, drunkenness, revelings and things similar to these things; which I am telling to you beforehand, also just-as I foretold to you, that those who are practicing such things–they will not be inheriting the kingdom of God!

⁵ For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor greedy person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

⁵ Therefore mortify your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry. ⁶ Because of which things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience;

⁴ the one who is governing his own house well, having his children in subjection with all honesty;

¹² Let deacons be husbands of one wife, governing their children and their own houses well.

³ forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving to the believing and those who have fully known the truth,

¹⁴ Therefore I will the younger widows to marry, to be childbearing, to manage the house, to never give a starting-point to those who lay in opposition to them because of reviling:

⁶ If anyone is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having believing children, who is not in an accusation of riotousness or rebellious.

¹⁶ lest there is any fornicator or profane person, like Esau, who gave away his birthright in exchange-for one dinner.

¹⁵ The dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices a lie are outside.

¹⁵ And behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done what I have spoken to you.

²¹ And Moses was content to dwell with the man and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

¹⁷ You will not desire your neighbor's house. You will not desire your neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.

⁶ Be strong and of good courage, do not fear, nor be frightened at them, for Jehovah your God, he it is who goes with you. He will not leave you, nor forsake you.

⁸ And Jehovah, he it is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you. Do not fear, neither be dismayed.

⁵ There will not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you, nor forsake you.

²¹ When I saw among the spoil a pleasant Babylonian mantle and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I desired them and took them. And behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent and the silver under it.

²² For Jehovah will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased Jehovah to make you* a people to himself.

²⁰ And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage and do it. Do not fear, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished.

³ Because the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yes, despises Jehovah.

²⁵ I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

²⁸ Because Jehovah loves justice and does not forsake his holy ones. They are preserved everlasting, but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.

³⁶ Incline my heart to your testimonies and not to covetousness.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹⁷ The poor and needy seek water and there is none and their tongue fails for thirst. I, Jehovah, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

¹³ For from the least of them even to the greatest of them everyone is given to covetousness. And from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

³¹ And they come to you as the people come and they sit before you as my people. And they hear your words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

²⁵ Because of this, I am saying to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat and what you may drink; nor for what you may clothe your body with. Is not the life worth more-than the nourishment and the body worth more-than the clothing?

³⁴ Therefore do not be anxious for the next-day; for the next-day will be anxious enough for the things of itself. Its evil is enough for the one day.

²² greedy-acts, wickednesses, treachery, unbridled-lusts, an evil eye, blasphemy, haughtiness, foolishness.

¹⁴ But the active soldiers were also asking him, saying, And we, what shall we do?
And he said to them, Intimidate no one, nor cheat anyone, and be content with your rations.

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 Now he said to them, See and guard yourselves from greed, because not to anyone is his life in the abundance of his possessions.
¹⁶ Now he spoke a parable to them, saying: The farmland of a certain rich man was fertile; ¹⁷ and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What should I do, because I have nowhere, in which, I will gather together my fruits? ¹⁸ And he said, I will be doing this: I will be taking down my barns and build greater ones. And I will be gathering together there, all my fruits of labor and my good things. ¹⁹ And I will be saying to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; rest yourself, eat, drink, and be joyous.
²⁰ But God said to him, Fool, your soul is asked back from you in this night, and the things which you prepared, whose will they be? ²¹ So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

¹³ No domestic servant is able to serve two lords; for either he will hate the one and love the other; for either he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and money.
¹⁴ Now the Pharisees, who are money-lovers, were also hearing all these things, and they were ridiculing him.

²⁹ They have been filled with all: unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, malice; full of: envy, murder, strife, treachery, maliciousness. They are: malicious whisperers,

¹¹ But now, I have written to you not to socialize together with anyone if he is named a brother, who is either a fornicator or greedy, or an idolater or a reviler, or a drunkard or a swindler, not to even eat together with such a person. \ulnone\nosupersub

¹⁰ nor the greedy ones, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will be inheriting the kingdom of God.

³ But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or greed even be named among you, as is suitable to holy-ones;

¹¹ Not that I am speaking according to my lack of things; for I have learned what things I am to be content. ¹² I know how to be also humbled; I also know how to also abound. I have been initiated in everything, and in all things, both to be fed and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack.

⁵ Therefore mortify your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.

³ not a drunkard, not a bully, not covetous, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a money-lover;

⁶ But godliness with contentment is a great method to earnings; ⁷ for we brought nothing into the world, nor it is evident that we are able to carry anything out; ⁸ but we will be content with these things, having nourishment and clothes. ⁹ But those who are planning to be rich are falling into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which are submerging men into utter-destruction and everlasting destruction. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils; of which some aspiring to, have been misled from the faith and they themselves are staked-through by many sorrows.

³ And in their greed, they will be merchants of you with fabricated words; to whom the condemnation from long-ago is not idle, and their destruction will not be slumbering.

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress and an unceasing sin; enticing unstable souls; having a heart which has been exercised from greed; children of the curse;

¹¹ Woe to them! Because they traveled in the way of Cain and poured themselves into the error of Balaam’s reward and perished in the dispute of Korah.

¹ After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not fear, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.

⁴ And the name of the other was Eliezer, because he said, The God of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

²⁶ There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for your help and in his excellency on the skies.

²⁹ You are fortunate, O Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help and the sword of your excellency! And your enemies will submit themselves to you and you will tread upon their high places.

¹ I love you, O Jehovah, my strength. ² Jehovah is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

¹ Jehovah is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
² When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. ³ Though an army should encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

⁹ Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

²⁰ Our soul has waited for Jehovah. He is our help and our shield.

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.

⁴ Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

⁴ I will praise his word in God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

¹¹ I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
¹² Your vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to you.

⁷ Because you have been my help and in the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

¹⁷ Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul would have soon dwelt in silence.

⁹ O Israel, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield. ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield. ¹¹ You* who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.

⁶ Jehovah is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me? ⁷ Jehovah is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look upon those who hate me.
⁸ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in rulers.

⁸ Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

³ Do not put your* trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

¹⁴ Do not fear, you worm Jacob and you* men of Israel. I will help you, says Jehovah and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. ¹⁷ If it is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
¹⁸ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

²⁸ And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

⁴ But I am saying to you my friends, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and they do not have, after these things, anything more-than that to do against you. ⁵ But I will be showing you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed you, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I say to you, Fear him.

³¹ Therefore what will we say to these things? If God is working on our behalf, who is against us?

¹² in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

¹⁶ Therefore let us come near to the throne of the grace with boldness, in order that we may receive mercy and may find grace for opportune help.

¹⁹ Therefore brethren, having boldness for the entrance into the holy-places by the blood of Jesus,

⁸ If you do not know, O you fairest among women, go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and prudent bondservant, whom his lord has designated over his bondservants, to give them their nourishment in season?

¹¹ Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.

⁴² But the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will be designating over his bondservants, to give them their food-allowance in season?

³¹ And having besought the Lord, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they were speaking the word of God with boldness.

⁵⁵ But possessing the full ness of the Holy Spirit, he stared into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, Behold, I am viewing the heavens that have been opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ But having cried out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and united, rushed upon him; ⁵⁸ and they cast him outside the city and were stoning him. And the witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a young-man called Saul. ⁵⁹ And they were stoning Stephen, who was calling upon the Lord, saying, Lord Jesus, accept my spirit. ⁶⁰ Now having placed his knees down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, do not weigh this, their sin, to them. And having said this, he fell-asleep.

⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. But since you are thrusting it away from yourselves and are judging yourselves unworthy of everlasting life. Behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

²³ Now having assigned elders to them in every congregation, and when they had prayed with fastings, they consigned them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

¹⁷ Consequently, the faith comes from our report but our report comes through the declaration of God.

¹⁶ Therefore I am encouraging you. Become imitators of me.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except common human temptations, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to undergo, but together with the temptation, he will also make an outlet.

¹ Become imitators of me, just-as I also am of Christ.

¹⁷ Brethren, become joint imitators of me, and note those who are walking so, just-as you have us as an example.

⁶ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit;

¹³ And we also are constantly giving-thanks to God because of this, because, when you accepted the word of God from our report, you accepted it not as the word of men, but just-as it truly is, the word of God, which is also working in you who believe.

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.

⁷ For you yourselves know how it is essential for you to imitate us. Because we did not act-disorderly among you;

⁹ not because we did not have the authority, but in order that we might give ourselves as an example to you, that you might imitate us.

⁵ (but if anyone does not know how to govern his own house, how will he be caring for the congregation of God?;)

¹² in order that you should not become sluggish, but imitators of those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.

¹⁷ Obey and yield yourselves to your leaders; for they are watching out on behalf of your souls, as those who will be giving account; in order that they may do this thing with joy and not groaning; for this would be detrimental to you.

²⁴ Greet all your leaders and all the holy-ones. Those from Italy greet you.

⁹ I John, your brother and partner in the affliction and the kingdom and the endurance which are in Christ Jesus, happened to be on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who have been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony of the lamb which they were holding to.

⁴ And I saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given to them and I saw the souls of those who have been decapitated because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God and those who did not worship the beast, nor his image and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they lived and reigned with Christ the thousand years.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, or you had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

⁴ Because a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night.

²⁷ but you are the same and your years will have no end.
²⁸ The sons of your servants will continue and their seed will be established before you.

¹⁷ But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him and his righteousness to son's sons,

⁴ Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first and with the last, I am he.

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.

⁶ For I, Jehovah, do not change. Therefore you*, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was glad that he might see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced.
⁵⁷ Therefore the Jews said to him, You do not yet have fifty years in and you have seen Abraham?
⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you through us, that is, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become yes and no, but in him it has become yes.

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.’

¹⁷ Every good act of giving, and every complete gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor a shadow of turning.

⁴ John to the seven congregations which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from God who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits that are in the sight of his throne;

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, 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.

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which you* may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. ³ Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven footed and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may you* eat.
⁴ Nevertheless these will you* not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. ⁵ And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. ⁶ And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you*. ⁷ And the swine, because he parts the hoof and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you*. ⁸ Of their flesh you* will not eat and their carcasses you* will not touch, they are unclean to you*.
⁹ These may you* eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, that may you* eat.
¹⁰ And all that have no fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you*, ¹¹ and they will be an abomination to you*. You* will not eat of their flesh and their carcasses you* will have in abomination. ¹² Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you*.
¹³ And these you* will have in abomination among the birds, they will not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the vulture and the osprey, ¹⁴ and the kite and the falcon after its kind, ¹⁵ every raven after its kind, ¹⁶ and the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-gull and the hawk after its kind, ¹⁷ and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl, ¹⁸ and the horned owl and the pelican and the carrion vulture, ¹⁹ and the stork, the heron after its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. ²⁰ All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you*.
²¹ Yet these you* may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth, ²² even these of them you* may eat: the locust after its kind and the bald locust after its kind and the cricket after its kind and the grasshopper after its kind. ²³ But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you*, ²⁴ and by these you* will become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them will be unclean until the evening. ²⁵ And whoever bears any of the carcass of them will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
²⁶ Every beast which parts the hoof and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you*. Everyone who touches them will be unclean. ²⁷ And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you*. Whoever touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening. ²⁸ And he who bears the carcass of them will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you*.
²⁹ And these are those which are unclean to you* among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard after its kind, ³⁰ and the gecko and the land-crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon. ³¹ These are those which are unclean to you* among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, will be unclean until the evening.
³² And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it will be unclean, whether it is any vessel of wood, or garments, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water and it will be unclean until the evening, then it will be clean. ³³ And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it will be unclean and you* will break it. ³⁴ All food in it which may be eaten, that on which water comes, will be unclean and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel will be unclean. ³⁵ And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls will be unclean, whether oven, or range for pots, it will be broken in pieces; they are unclean and will be unclean to you*. ³⁶ Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water will be clean, but what touches their carcass will be unclean. ³⁷ And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. ³⁸ But if water is put upon the seed and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you*. ³⁹ And if any beast, of which you* may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it will be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁰ And he who eats of the carcass of it will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
⁴¹ And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it will not be eaten. ⁴² Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them you* will not eat, for they are an abomination. ⁴³ You* will not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor will you* make yourselves unclean with them, that you* should be defiled by it.
⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your* God. Sanctify yourselves therefore and become you* holy, since I am holy. Neither will you* defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth. ⁴⁵ For I am Jehovah who brought you* up out of the land of Egypt, to be your* God. You* will therefore be holy, for I am holy.
⁴⁶ This is the law of the beast and of the bird and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every creature that creeps upon the earth, ⁴⁷ to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

³ You will not eat any abominable thing. ⁴ These are the beasts which you* may eat: the ox, the sheep and the goat, ⁵ the male-deer and the gazelle and the roebuck and the wild goat and the ibex and the antelope and the chamois. ⁶ And every beast that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may you* eat.
⁷ Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these you* will not eat: the camel and the hare and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you*, ⁸ and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you*. Of their flesh you* will not eat and their carcasses you* will not touch.
⁹ These you* may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales you* may eat. ¹⁰ And whatever does not have fins and scales you* will not eat; it is unclean to you*.
¹¹ Of all clean birds you* may eat, ¹² but these are those of which you* will not eat: the eagle and the vulture and the osprey, ¹³ and the red-kite and the falcon and the kite according to its kind, ¹⁴ and every raven after its kind, ¹⁵ and the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-gull and the hawk according to its kind, ¹⁶ the little owl and the great owl and the horned owl, ¹⁷ and the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant, ¹⁸ and the stork and the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. ¹⁹ And all winged creeping things are unclean to you*. They will not be eaten. ²⁰ Of all clean birds you* may eat.
²¹ You* will not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the traveler who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. You will not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, Beware, do not let anyone mislead you.

²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will be giving great signs and wonders; so-then to mislead, if possible, even the chosen.

¹⁴ But Peter said, Not-so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything, common or unclean.
¹⁵ And a voice came to him again the second-time, What God has cleansed, you, do not make common. ¹⁶ But this happened three-times and again the vessel was received up into heaven.

³⁰ and men will be standing up from among yourselves, speaking perverse things, to pull away the disciples after themselves.

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.

² One has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats herbs.

⁶ He who is mindful of the day, is mindful of it to the Lord; and he who is not mindful of the day, is not mindful of it to the Lord; and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives-thanks to God. And he who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives-thanks to God.

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

¹⁷ Now brethren, I am encouraging you, to note those making the dissensions and the offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned and are practicing, and shun away from them. ¹⁸ For such are not serving our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and they are deceiving the hearts of the guiltless through their smooth-talk and blessings.

¹³ Foods are for the belly and the belly is for foods, but God will be doing-away-with both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

⁸ But food does not present us to God; for neither if we eat, do we abound? Nor, if we do not eat, are we lacking?

²¹ Now he who is confirming us together with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

¹¹ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do. ¹² But what I am doing, I will also continue to be doing it in order that I may cut off the starting-point from those who wish for a starting-point in order that they may be found just-as we in what they are boasting. ¹³ For such men are false apostles, workers of treachery, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And it is not a marvelous thing; for even the Adversary fashions himself into a messenger of light. ¹⁵ Therefore, it is no great thing if his servants are also fashioned like servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

⁶ I marvel that you are so quickly transferring yourselves from the one who called you by the favor of Christ to a different good-news; ⁷ which is not another good-news, except now there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the good-news of the Christ. ⁸ But even if we or a messenger from heaven, should proclaim to you any good-news contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, so now I am saying again, if anyone proclaims to you any good-news contrary to what you received, let him be accursed.

¹ Brethren, even if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you, the spiritual, mend such a one in a spirit of meekness; noting any trespass in yourself, lest you might also be tempted.

¹⁴ in order that we may no longer be infants, bobbing on the waves and being carried around in every wind of teaching, in the trickery of men, in craftiness, toward the schemes of error.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.

⁴ But I am saying all of this, in order that not anyone may delude you in persuasive speech.

⁷ having been rooted and being built up in him and being confirmed in the faith, just-as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
⁸ Beware, that there will not be anyone there who is leading you away as his prey through philosophy and vain deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the fundamental principles of the world, and not according to Christ,

¹⁶ Therefore do not let anyone judge you in food, or in drink, or in this respect of a feast day, or a new month, or a Sabbaths; ¹⁷ which are a shadow of the future things, but the body is Christ’s. ¹⁸ Let no one arbitrate against you, willing it so in your humility and in a religion of the messengers; stepping you^\'b0 further into the things which he has not seen, being vainly arrogant by his fleshly mind, 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 If you died together with Christ away from the fundamental principles of the world, why, (as though living in the world), are you submissive to its decrees:

² that you might not be quickly shaken from your mind, nor be alarmed, (either through spirit, or through word, or through letter, as if it came through us), as that the day of the Christ is present.

¹⁷ may comfort your hearts and may establish them in all the word and in good work.

¹ But the Spirit expressly says, In later times some will be withdrawing from the faith, taking-heed to misleading spirits and teachings of demons, ² through the hypocrisy from the speakers of lies, having been branded in their own conscience; ³ forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving to the believing and those who have fully known the truth, ⁴ because every created thing of God is good and casting off nothing if it is received with thanksgiving, ⁵ for it is made holy through the word of God and through petition.

³ If anyone is teaching a different teaching and is not coming near to sound words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the teaching which is according to godliness; ⁴ he has been puffed up, knowing nothing, but being mentally diseased concerning debates and quarrels over words, out of which become: envy, strife, blasphemies, evil suspicions, ⁵ incessant wranglings of men who have been corrupted in the mind and who have been deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a method to earnings. Withdraw yourself from such.

²⁰ O Timothy, guard the deposit consigned to you, turning away from the profane empty-talks and oppositions of the falsely named knowledge;

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.

¹⁴ not taking-heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth. 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.

⁹ This tabernacle, (which is a figure toward the present time); according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, is not able to complete he who is giving-divine service to God according to the conscience, ¹⁰ being only fleshly ordinances, (upon the basis of foods, drinks and assorted ceremonial washings), laid upon us till a time of reformation.

¹ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

³ Beloved, making all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had a necessity to write to you encouraging you to fight earnestly for the faith which was given once for all to the holy-ones.

¹² These people are hidden-reefs in your love-feasts, sumptuously feasting fearlessly alongside you, shepherding themselves, they are waterless clouds, being carried away by the winds; unfruitful autumn trees, twice dead, having been uprooted,

⁷ And they will keep his charge and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. ⁸ And they will keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

⁵ Take it from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting. And you will give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

⁷ Cleanse out the old leaven, in order that you may be a new batch, just-as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has also been sacrificed on our behalf. ⁸ So-then we should celebrate a festival, not in old leaven, nor in the leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

¹³ Do you not know that those who work at the sacred things, eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait-upon the altar have their part together with the altar?

¹⁷ Because we, who are many, are one bread, one body; for we all are partaking from the one bread.
¹⁸ Beware of Israel, according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partners of the altar?

²⁰ But I am saying, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they are sacrificing to demons, and not to God, and I do not wish you to become partners of demons.

¹⁴ But the flesh of the bullock and its skin and it manure, you will burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

⁵ And the anointed priest will take of the blood of the bullock and bring it to the tent of meeting. ⁶ And the priest will dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷ And the priest will put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting and all the blood of the bullock he will pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

¹¹ And the skin of the bullock and all its flesh, with its head and with its legs and its innards and its manure, ¹² even the whole bullock he will carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out and burn it on wood with fire. It will be burnt where the ashes are poured out.

¹⁶ And the anointed priest will bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ And the priest will dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Jehovah, before the veil. ¹⁸ And he will put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in the tent of meeting and all the blood he will pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. ¹⁹ And all the fat of it he will take off from it and burn it upon the altar. ²⁰ Thus he will do with the bullock, as he did with the bullock of the sin offering, so he will do with this. And the priest will make atonement for them and they will be forgiven. ²¹ And he will carry forth the bullock outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bullock. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

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.

⁹ And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it upon the horns of the altar and poured out the blood at the base of the altar,

¹¹ And he burnt the flesh and the skin with fire outside the camp.

¹⁴ And he will take of the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he will sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat.
¹⁵ Then he will kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people and bring his blood within the veil and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he will make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he will do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
¹⁷ And there will be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out and has made atonement for himself and for his household and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he will go out to the altar that is before Jehovah and make atonement for it. And will take of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat and put it upon the horns of the altar all around. ¹⁹ And he will sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times and cleanse it and sanctify it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

²⁷ And the bullock of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, will be carried forth outside the camp and they will burn in the fire their skins and their flesh and their manure.

³ And you* will give her to Eleazar the priest and he will bring her forth outside the camp and she will be killed before his face.

²³ And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp and stoned him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

³⁶ And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁴ And Joshua and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah and the silver and the mantle and the wedge of gold and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his donkeys and his sheep and his tent and all that he had and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.

²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they stripped the purple off him and clothed him with his own garments. And they lead him out in order that they should crucify him. ²¹ And they compel a certain one passing by, Simon from Cyrene, coming from the rural-area, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, in order that he might lift up his cross. ²² And they bring him to the place called Golgotha, which is, after being translated, The place of a skull. ²³ And they were giving to him wine to drink, having been medicated with myrrh, but he did not take it.

²⁴ And having crucified him, ‘they divide his garments, casting a lot upon them,’who and what each might take.

¹⁹ And I make myself holy on their behalf, in order that they themselves may also be made holy in truth.

¹⁷ And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called, The Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,


¹⁸ where they crucified him and two others with him, on this side and on that side and Jesus in the middle.

³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his ribs with a spear and immediately blood and water came out.

⁵⁸ and they cast him outside the city and were stoning him. And the witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a young-man called Saul.

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.

²⁶ in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word,

¹¹ For both he who is making holy and those who are made holy are all from one. Because of which case, he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

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. ¹³ For if the blood of male-goats and oxen and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who have been desecrated, makes one holy toward the cleanness of the flesh; ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, (who through the everlasting Spirit offered himself unblemished to God), will be cleansing your conscience from dead works, that you may give-divine service to the living God.

¹⁸ Hence even the first covenant has not been inaugurated without blood. ¹⁹ For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, and when he took the blood of the calves and the male-goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think he will be deemed worthy of, after having trampled under foot the Son of God, and having deemed the blood of the covenant in which he was made holy as common, and having insulted the Spirit of the grace?

⁶ This is he who came through water and blood–Jesus Christ; not only in the water, but in the water and in the blood. And it is the Spirit who is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth. ⁷ Because there are three who are testifying, ⁸ the Spirit and the water and the blood and the three are into the one.

¹¹ You are fortunate whenever they reproach and persecute you and say every evil word against you–lying, because of me.

²⁴ A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a bondservant above his lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he should become like his teacher and the bondservant like his lord. If they have called the householder Beelzebub, how much more the kinfolk!

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If anyone is willing to come after me, let him deny himself and lift up his cross and follow me.

³² Now while going out, they found a man from Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this one to go with them, in order that he might lift up his cross.

³⁹ Now those who traveled by were blaspheming him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, He who tears-down the temple and builds it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.
⁴¹ Now likewise, also the high-priests with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, mocking him, and were saying, ⁴² He saved others, yet he is not able to save himself. If he is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He has confidence upon God. Let him rescue him now, if he is willing to save him; for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ Now the robbers who were also crucified together with him were reproaching him with the same thing.

²² You are fortunate, whenever men hate you and whenever they separate you from themselves, and may reproach you and may cast out your name like evil, because of the Son of Man.

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.

¹⁰ We are foolish because of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are glorious, but we are dishonored. ¹¹ We are both hungry and thirsty, till the current hour, and are naked and are battered and are homeless; ¹² and we are laboring, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we are speaking well of them; being persecuted, we are tolerating it; ¹³ being blasphemed, we are encouraging. We have become like the scums of the world, the garbage of all things, even until now.

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.

²⁶ having deemed the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward.

³ For, study the one who has endured such dispute by sinners to himself, in order that you might not be weary, fainting in your souls.

⁴ in which they are surprised by you, that you^\'b0 are not running together with them into the same outpouring of riotousness, blaspheming;

¹⁴ If you are reproached in the name of Christ, you are fortunate, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. He is indeed blasphemed according to their manner, but he is glorified according to your manner. ¹⁵ For let not anyone of you suffer like a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or like a meddler in the affairs of others. ¹⁶ But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this respect.

¹⁰ Arise and depart, for this is not your* resting-place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

²⁹ But I am saying this, brethren, the time is limited, furthermore it is that both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

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

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,

²⁰ For our citizenship exists in the heavens; out of which we are also waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ Therefore, if you were raised up together with the Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. ² Be mindful of the things which are above, not the things which are upon the earth. ³ For you died and the life you have, has been hidden together with the Christ in God.

⁹ Consequently, a Sabbath-rest is left for the people of God.

⁹ In faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as an alien, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was waiting for the city which has the foundations, whose craftsman and contractor is God.

¹² And hence these were fathered from one sterile man, just-as the stars of heaven in a multitude and as innumerable as the sand beside the sea shore. \ulnone\nosupersub ¹³ These all died according to faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and having greeted them from farther out and having confessed that they are strangers and travelers upon the earth. ¹⁴ For those who are saying such things are disclosing that they are seeking after a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if they were indeed remembering that region from which they went out, they would have had an opportunity to revisit. ¹⁶ But now they are aspiring for themselves to a better region, this thing is a heavenly one. Hence God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared a city for them.

²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of messengers,

⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore, be sensible and be sober for prayers.

¹³ But according to his promise, we are expecting new heavens and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.
¹⁴ Hence, beloved, while expecting these things, be diligent that you may be found in peace, unstained and unblemished in his sight.

³ And it happened in process of time, that Cain brought an offering to Jehovah of the fruit of the ground. ⁴ And Abel, he also brought of the first-offspring of his flock and of the fat of it. And Jehovah had respect to Abel and to his offering,

¹² If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he will offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked.

⁶ And the priests stood according to their offices, also the Levites with instruments of music of Jehovah, which David the king had made to give thanks to Jehovah (for his loving kindness is everlasting) when David praised by their ministry and the priests blew trumpets before them. And all Israel stood.

³¹ Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now you* have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

¹⁶ And he built up the altar of Jehovah and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel.

¹¹ And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness is everlasting toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.

⁴⁰ So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God and I and the half of the rulers with me,

⁴³ And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. And the women also and the children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks to you, O Jehovah, among the Gentiles and will sing praises to your name.

¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High.

²³ Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me. And to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God.

³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song and will extol him with thanksgiving, ³¹ and it will please Jehovah better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs.

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.

¹⁷ I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the name of Jehovah. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise Jehovah.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Jehovah.

¹ O give thanks to Jehovah, because he is good, because his loving kindness is everlasting.
² O give thanks to the God of gods, for his loving kindness is everlasting.
³ O give thanks to the Lord of lords, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁴ to him who alone does great wonders, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁵ to him who by understanding made the heavens, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁶ to him who spread forth the earth above the waters, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁷ to him who made great lights, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁸ the sun to rule by day, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
⁹ the moon and stars to rule by night, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁰ to him who killed* Egypt in their firstborn, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹¹ and brought out Israel from among them, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹² with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹³ to him who divided the Red Sea apart, because loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁴ and made Israel to pass through the midst of it, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁵ but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁶ to him who led his people through the wilderness, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁷ to him who killed* great kings, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁸ and killed famous kings, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
¹⁹ Sihon king of the Amorites, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
²⁰ and Og king of Bashan, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
²¹ and gave their land for a heritage, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
²² even a heritage to Israel his servant, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
²³ who remembered us in our low estate, for his loving kindness is everlasting,
²⁴ and has delivered us from our adversaries, because his loving kindness is everlasting,
²⁵ who gives food to all flesh, because his loving kindness is everlasting.
²⁶ O give thanks to the God of heaven, because his loving kindness is everlasting.

¹ I will extol you, my God, O King and I will bless your name everlasting and forever. ² Every day I will bless you and I will praise your name everlasting and forever.
³ Great is Jehovah and greatly to be praised and his greatness is unsearchable. ⁴ One generation will laud your works to another and will declare your mighty acts.
⁵ I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor and of your wondrous works.
⁶ And men will speak of the might of your fearful acts and I will declare your greatness. ⁷ They will pour out the memory of your great goodness and will sing of your righteousness.
⁸ Jehovah is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great loving kindness. ⁹ Jehovah is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works.
¹⁰ All your works will give thanks to you, O Jehovah and your holy ones will praise you.
¹¹ They will speak of the glory of your kingdom and talk of your power, ¹² to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.
¹³ Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and your dominion is throughout all generations.
¹⁴ Jehovah upholds all who fall and raises up all those who are bowed down. ¹⁵ The eyes of all wait for you and you give them their food in due season. ¹⁶ You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
¹⁷ Jehovah is righteous in all his ways and gracious in all his works. ¹⁸ Jehovah is near to all those who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry and will save them. ²⁰ Jehovah preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.
²¹ My mouth will speak the praise of Jehovah. And let all flesh bless his holy name everlasting and forever.

¹ And you will say in that day, I will give thanks to you, O Jehovah, for though you were angry with me. Your anger is turned away and you comfort me. ² Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust and will not be afraid, for Jehovah, even Jehovah, is my strength and song and he has become my salvation.

¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Jehovah and I will heal him.

² Take with you* words and return to Jehovah. Say to him, Take away all iniquity and accept what is good. So we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.

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.

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.

⁹ I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved and will enter and will go out and will find pasture.

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.

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.

¹ Therefore brethren, I am encouraging you through the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your logical divine service.

¹⁸ because through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing-praise in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father;

¹² giving-thanks to the Father, who made us sufficient for the part of the inheritance of the holy-ones in the light.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing in gratitude in your heart to the Lord. 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.

²⁵ Hence he is also able to completely save those who come to God through him, always living, that he may petition on their behalf.

⁵ You, yourselves, like living stones, are also built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹¹ If anyone is speaking, speak as the oracles of God; if anyone is serving, serve as from the strength which God is supplying; in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ to whom is the glory and the dominion forevermore. Amen.

⁸ And the four living creatures, one by one, having six wings apiece, are full of eyes inside and surrounding, and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming. ⁹ And whenever the living creatures gave glory and honor and thanks to the one who is sitting upon the throne, to the one who lives forevermore, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders will fall down in his sight who is sitting upon the throne and will be worshiping the one who lives forevermore and will put their crowns in the sight of the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, the holy one, to receive the glory and the honor and the power because you created all things and because they are your will and they were created.

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.
¹⁴ And the four living creatures are saying the amen; and the elders fell down and worshiped him.

⁹ I saw and behold after these things, a large crowd, which no one was able to number, out of every nation and tribes and peoples and languages, standing in the sight of the throne and in the sight of the Lamb, having been dressed in white robes and palm trees in their hands; ¹⁰ and they are crying with a loud voice, saying, The salvation is in our God who is sitting upon the throne and in the Lamb.
¹¹ And all the messengers and the elders and the four living creatures stood in a circle of the throne, and they fell upon their faces in the sight of the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying, Assuredly, the thanks and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength is to our God, forevermore. Amen.

¹ I heard after these things, as it was a large voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation and power and glory, is from our God: ² because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great prostitute, she who was corrupting the earth in her fornication and he has avenged the blood of his bondservants from her hand.
³ And they have said a second-time, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up forevermore.
⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is sitting upon the throne, saying, Amen. Hallelujah.
⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his bondservants, and those who fear him, the little and the great.
⁶ And I heard as it was the voice of a large crowd and like the voice of many waters and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah, because the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns.

³ Trust in Jehovah and do good. Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness.

¹⁹ Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon your altar.

⁷ Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
⁸ He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justly and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?

³⁵ for I was hungry and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you led me in; ³⁶ I was naked and you dressed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me.
³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and nourish you? Or thirsty and gave you a drink? ³⁸ But when did we see you as a stranger and lead you in? Or naked and dressed you? ³⁹ But when did we see you sick or in prison and came to you?
⁴⁰ And when the King answers, he will say to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of these, my brethren, even the least, you did it to me.

³⁵ However, love^*\'b0 your enemies and do good things for them and lend, hoping for nothing again. And your reward will be much, and you will be sons of the Highest, because he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. ³⁶ Therefore, become compassionate, just-as your Father is also compassionate.

²² Now having heard these things, Jesus said to him, One thing is still deficient for you. Sell all things, as many things as you have and distribute to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come-here. Follow me.

³⁶ Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa, Tabitha by name, which being translated, is called Dorcas. This one was full of good works and of charity, which she was doing.

³⁸ Jesus who was from Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went through out the land working good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

¹² Because the service of this ministry not only is replenishing the things lacking of the holy-ones, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God; ¹³ because through the trial of you from this service they are glorifying God upon the subjection of your confession toward the good-news of the Christ and at the liberality of your generosity toward them and toward all;

⁶ But let him, who is instructed in the word, share in all good things with the one who instructs.

¹⁰ Therefore consequently, as we have opportunity, we should work what is the good thing toward all men but especially in the household of the faith.

²⁸ Let the one who steals, steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working at what is the good thing with his hands, in order that he may have something to give to the one who has need.

¹⁴ However you did well, having shared together with my affliction.

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.

¹⁵ See that not anyone repays evil in exchange-for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both toward one another and toward all.

¹³ But you brethren, do not be depressed in doing good.

¹⁸ also command them to work what is good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in giving, generous,

⁶ that the fellowship of your faith might become effective in the full knowledge of every good thing, which is in you, to Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the labor of the love which you showed toward his name, having served the holy-ones and still serving them.

¹ Let brotherly-love abide. ² Do not forget hospitality; for through this, some lodged messengers, being eluded.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate the evil one, but the good one. He who practices good is from God. He who practices evil has not seen God.

⁹ And the messenger of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hands.

³¹ And Moses returned to Jehovah and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin and have made gods of gold for them.

¹⁹ But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel. And they said, No, but we will have a king over us

¹⁹ Why then did you not obey the voice of Jehovah, but did fly upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah?
²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me and have brought Agag the king of Amalek and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

¹³ Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

⁶ I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem. They will never keep silent day nor night. You* who are Jehovah's reminders, take no rest,

¹⁷ But if you* will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your* pride. And my eye will weep greatly and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.

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.

² Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land and the people of the land take a man from among them and set him for their watchman,

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.

² And having summoned him, he said to him, What is this that I am hearing concerning you? Give me the account of your stewardship; for you are not able to be a steward any longer.

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. ²⁵ And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went through preaching the kingdom of God, will be seeing my face no more, ²⁶ because I testify to you on this very day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.

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.

¹² Therefore consequently, each of us will be giving an account concerning himself to God.

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.

¹⁶ in order that you may also be subject to those who are such and to everyone working together with us and laboring with them.

¹⁰ For it is essential for all of us to appear before the judicial-seat of the Christ; in order that each one may get back the things done in the body, for what he practiced, whether good or evil.
¹¹ Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we are persuading men, but we have been manifested to God, and I hope to have also been manifested in your consciences.

²¹ being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

⁴ always in my every supplication on behalf of all of you, making the supplication with joy,

¹² So-then my beloved, just-as you have always obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

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.

²⁹ Therefore accept him in the Lord with all joy, and hold those who are such as admired;

¹⁸ For many are walking, (of whom I was speaking to you often about them; now I am also telling you, weeping), who are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

¹ So-then my brethren, beloved and longed-for, my joy and crown, so stand-firm in the Lord, my beloved.

¹⁹ For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting, or is it not also you, which is before our Lord Jesus Christ at his presence? ²⁰ For you are our glory and our joy.

⁹ For what thanksgiving are we able to repay to God concerning you? Over all the joy in which we are rejoicing before our God is because of you, ¹⁰ exceptionally beseeching God night and day, that we may see your face and may mend the things lacking of your faith.

¹⁴ And if anyone is not obeying our word through this letter, mark that man and do not socialize together with him, in order that he may be embarrassed.

¹⁷ The elders who are governing well, let them be deemed worthy of double honor, especially those who are laboring in the word and in teaching.

⁷ Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and review the outcome of their conduct; imitate the faith of such.

⁷ Therefore, be subject to God and stand against the devil, and he will be fleeing away from you.

² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising the oversight, not by compulsion, but willfully, nor covetously, but eagerly; ³ nor like one lording it over his inheritances, but by becoming examples to the flock.

⁵ Likewise, the younger ones, be subject to the elder ones. But all of you be subject to one another, clothe yourselves with humility, because ‘God resists the haughty, but is giving grace to the humble.’

¹ Now Paul, having staring to ward the council, said, Men, brethren, I have behaved-as a Jewish citizen to ward God in all good conscience till this day.

¹⁶ But I apply myself in this, having a guilt-free conscience always toward God and men.

¹⁷ Repay to no one evil in exchange-for evil. Plan-for good things in the sight of all men.

¹³ We should walk decently, like in the day; not in revelings and drunkenness, not in sleeping-around and in unbridled-lusts, not in strife and in jealousy.

³⁰ Now brethren, I am encouraging you through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to struggle together with me, and on my behalf in your prayers to God;

¹² For this is our boasting, the testimony of our conscience, that in clarity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world and even-more toward you.

¹⁹ And pray on my behalf, in order that the word may be given to me, in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good-news in boldness, ²⁰ on behalf of which, I am an ambassador in a chain; in order that I should speak boldly in it, as it is essential for me to speak.

⁸ Furthermore brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are honorable, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as have good-repute; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, reason on these things.

³ praying at the same time concerning us also, in order that God may open a door of the word to us, to speak the mystery of the Christ, because of which I have also been bound;

¹² in order that you may walk decently toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

²⁵ Brethren, pray concerning us.

¹ Furthermore, brethren, pray concerning us, in order that the word of the Lord may run onward and may be glorified, just-as it is also with you;

⁵ But the end of the command is love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and a non-pretended faith;

¹² having your good conduct seen among the Gentiles; in order that, in what they are speaking against you, as evildoers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, having eye-witnessed things from your good works.

¹⁶ having a good conscience; in order that, in what they are speaking against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who are railing at your good conduct in Christ.

²¹ which is our counterpart, immersion, saves us also now, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the demand of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ I beseech God always in my prayers, if somehow now, I will be prospered in the will of God to come to you someday, ¹¹ for I am longing to see you, in order that I may give to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established; ¹² and this is my prayer to be encouraged together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

³¹ in order that I may be rescued away from those who are disobedient in Judea and in order that my service which I have for Jerusalem might become acceptable to the holy-ones; ³² in order that I may come to you in joy through the will of God and I may rest together with you.

²² But also at the same time, prepare me a lodging. For I am hoping that through your prayers I will be granted to you.

⁸ And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you* concerning all these words.

⁵ Truly my house is not so with God. Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure. For it is all my salvation and all my desire, though he does not make it to grow.

¹⁷ and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

¹ Jehovah is my shepherd, I will not want.

¹ Listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

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.

³ Incline your* ear and come to me. Hear and your* soul will live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you*, even the faithful holy things of David.

⁸ For I, Jehovah, love justice. I hate robbery with the burnt offering. And I will give them their recompense in truth.
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

¹¹ Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,

⁴⁰ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. And I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them and he will be their shepherd.

²⁴ And my servant David will be king over them and they all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes and do them.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them and I will place them and multiply them and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them everlasting.

¹¹ As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out on behalf of many into the forgiveness of sins.

²⁴ And he said to them, This is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, which is poured out concerning many.

²⁰ And likewise, he took the cup after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out on your behalf.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life on behalf of the sheep.

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

²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the travails of death, insomuch as it was not possible for him to be held-fast by it.

³² This Jesus, God raised up, of whom we are all witnesses.

¹⁵ and killed the Author of life; whom God raised up from the dead; of whom we are witnesses.

¹⁰ Let it be known to you all here and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised up from the dead; in him, this one who is standing in your sight is healthy.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you yourselves exterminated, having hanged him upon a tree.

⁴⁰ God raised this one up on the third day and gave him to become manifest, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses that have been assigned before by God, even to us, who ate and drank together with him after he rose up from the dead.

³⁰ But God raised him up from the dead;

³¹ because he has established a future day in which to judge the inhabited-earth in righteousness in the man whom he has determined beforehand; having provided the faith to all, by having raised him from the dead.

⁴ who has been determined as being the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, out of the resurrection of the dead), Jesus Christ our Lord.

²⁴ but also, because of us to whom it is about to be counted, who believe on the one who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was given up because of our trespasses and was raised up because of our justification
.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus up from the dead is dwelling in you, he who raised the Christ up from the dead will also be giving-life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who is dwelling in you.

³³ Now the God of peace is with all of you. Amen.

²⁰ Now the God of peace will crush the Adversary under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is among you.

¹⁴ Now God both raised up the Lord and will be raising us up through his power.

³³ for God is not a God of unrest, but of peace.
As in all the congregations of the holy-ones:

¹⁵ Now, we are also found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God in saying that he raised the Christ up; whom consequently, he did not raise up, if indeed the dead are not raised up.

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also be raising us up through Jesus and will be presenting us together with you.

¹¹ Furthermore brethren: rejoice; be completed; be comforted; be mindful of the same thing; be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

¹ Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him up from the dead),

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,

⁹ The things which you both learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

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.

¹⁰ and to await his Son Jesus from the heavens, whom he raised up from the dead; who rescues us from the coming wrath.

²³ Now may the God of peace himself make you entirely holy, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself may give you peace always in every manner. The Lord is with all of you.

¹⁶ For where there is a covenant, it is a necessity for the death of the one who covenanted it to be brought about. ¹⁷ For a covenant is steadfast upon death; since it is never enforced when he who covenanted it is living.

²⁰ saying, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you.’

²² let us come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled away from an evil conscience and our body, having been fully-washed in clean water.

²¹ who believe through him in God. The God who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory; so-that your faith and hope might be in God.

²⁵ For you were being misled like sheep, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

⁴ And when the Chief-Shepherd is made manifest, you will be getting the unfading crown of glory.

⁴ The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice, a God of faithfulness and without unrighteousness, just and right is he.

¹⁸ Praise Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. ¹⁹ And praise his glorious name everlasting. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly and Truly.

⁸ Jehovah will perfect what is on my behalf. Your loving kindness, O Jehovah, is everlasting. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

¹³ And do not bring us into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one, because yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is practicing the will of my Father, the one in the heavens.

⁵⁰ For whoever practices the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother and sister and mother.

³¹ Which one out of the two did the will of his father?
They say, The first.
Jesus says to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will precede you into the kingdom of God.

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.

¹⁷ If anyone is willing to practice his will, he will know concerning the teaching, of what sort it is, whether from God or I speak from myself.

²³ And in that day you will not be asking me anything. Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, that as many things as you may ask the Father in my name, he will be giving them to you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, in order that your joy may be fulfilled.

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.

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

¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For the one who is serving Christ in these things is well pleasing to God and approved by men.

²⁷ (14:26) to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, in whom is the glory is forever. Amen.

⁸ Now God is able to make abound all grace toward you; in order that having all self-sufficiency in everything, you should always abound to every good work;

⁵ the glory is to him, forevermore. Amen.

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.

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, ¹⁸ having been rooted and having been founded in love, in order that you may have strength to grab, together with all the holy-ones, of what is the width and length and depth and height, ¹⁹ and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.

¹¹ having been filled with the fruits of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

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

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

⁹ Because of this, we also do not cease praying and asking on your behalf from the day we heard it, in order that you may be filled with the full knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and intelligence, ¹⁰ for you to walk worthy of the Lord for pleasing him in everything, bearing-fruit in every good work and growing into the full knowledge of God; ¹¹ being empowered in all power, according to the dominion of his glory, for all endurance and patience with joy, ¹² giving-thanks to the Father, who made us sufficient for the part of the inheritance of the holy-ones in the light.

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.

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

¹² Epaphras, a bondservant of Christ, the one from you, greets you. He is always fighting on your behalf in his prayers, in order that you might stand complete and having been fulfilled in all the will of God.

¹³ that he might establish your hearts, blameless in holiness before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his holy-ones.

³ For this is the will of God, your holiness, for you to abstain from fornication;

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.

¹⁸ The Lord will be rescuing me from every evil work and will save me for his heavenly kingdom: in whom is the glory, forevermore. Amen.

³⁶ For you have need of endurance, in order that, having done the will of God, you may get the promise for yourselves.

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,

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

² that you should no longer have your life, (the rest of your time in the flesh), in the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who called you to his everlasting glory in Christ Jesus, when you have suffered a small time, he himself may frame you up, will establish, will strengthen and will found you. ¹¹ The glory and the dominion is to him, forevermore. Amen.

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.

¹⁷ And the world is passing away and its lust, but he who is practicing the will of God abides forever.

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.

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.}

⁶ and in the sight of his throne, like a glassy sea similar to crystal, and in the middle of the throne and in a circle of the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

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.

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.

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.

¹ And working together with him, we are also encouraging you to not accept the grace of God in vain;

¹ Now I, Paul, myself, encourage you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who when face to face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am courageous toward you.

¹¹ Behold, how-large the letters of the alphabet, I wrote to you with my own hand.

⁸ Hence, having much boldness in Christ to command you what is proper, ⁹ yet because of love I would rather encourage you, being such a one as Paul the elderly-man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

¹ Because of this, we ought to take-heed even-more to the things which were heard, lest we might drift away.

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

¹² Beware brethren, lest there will be an evil heart of unbelief in anyone of you, in withdrawing away from the living God. ¹³ But encourage one another every day, until what is called today; in order that not anyone of you may be hardened by the deception of sin.

¹ Therefore, since a promise was left of entering into his rest, let us fear lest anyone out of you seem to have come-short of it.

¹¹ Therefore let us be diligent to enter into that rest, in order that no one should fall into the same example of disobedience.

¹¹ But we are desiring each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope till the end; ¹² in order that you should not become sluggish, but imitators of those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.

¹⁹ Therefore brethren, having boldness for the entrance into the holy-places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ a way which he inaugurated for us, a fresh and living way, through the curtain, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God; ²² let us come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled away from an evil conscience and our body, having been fully-washed in clean water. ²³ We should hold-onto the confession of our hope–unwavering; for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And we should consider one another for motivating each other from love and from good works; ²⁵ not forsaking our own gathering-together, just-as the custom is with some, but encouraging one another, and so-much more, inasmuch as you are seeing the day drawing near.
²⁶ For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a zeal of fire which is about to eat the adversaries. ²⁸ Anyone who has rejected the Law of Moses, dies without mercy upon the word of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think he will be deemed worthy of, after having trampled under foot the Son of God, and having deemed the blood of the covenant in which he was made holy as common, and having insulted the Spirit of the grace? ³⁰ For we know the one who said, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying says the Lord.’And again, ‘ The Lord will judge his people.’ ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
³² But remind yourselves of the former days, when you were enlightened, in which you endured a large conflict of sufferings; ³³ in this thing indeed, makes you a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions, but in this thing, you became partners of those who conducted themselves so. 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.’ ³⁹ But we are not from this retreating back leading to destruction, but we are from the faith leading to the preservation of the soul.

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.

¹² Hence straighten the drooping hands and the paralyzed knees; ¹³ and make^*\'b0 straightened tracks for your feet, in order that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather should be healed.
¹⁴ Pursue peace with all and the holiness without which no one will be seeing the Lord: ¹⁵ exercising the oversight of yourselves lest there is anyone who comes-short, away from the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing upward, might trouble you, and many may be defiled through this; ¹⁶ lest there is any fornicator or profane person, like Esau, who gave away his birthright in exchange-for one dinner.

²⁵ Beware that you do not renounce the one who speaks. For if those men did not flee when they renounced the one who divinely-warned them upon the earth, much more we may not flee who are turning away from him, who is from the heavens; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth. But now he has promised, saying, ‘Still once for all, I do not only shake the earth, but also the heaven.’ ²⁷ And the saying, ‘still once for all,’indicates the transfer of those things which are shaken, as of things which have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may remain. ²⁸ Hence, receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which we give-divine service in ways well pleasing to God, with reverence and piety;

¹ Let brotherly-love abide. ² Do not forget hospitality; for through this, some lodged messengers, being eluded. ³ Remember those who are prisoners, as having been bound together with them; those who are mistreated, as though being mistreated yourselves also in the body.

¹² Hence Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might make the people holy through his own blood. ¹³ Now-then let us go forth to him outside the encampment, carrying his reproach. ¹⁴ For we do not have an abiding city here, but we are seeking after the future city. \ulnone\nosupersub ¹⁵ Therefore, let us always offer up a sacrifice of praising through him to God, that is, the fruit of our lips confessing in his name. ¹⁶ But do not forget the practice of good and fellowship; for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

¹² Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I count him, I have written to you a few words, encouraging and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you are standing.

¹ Now he arrived in Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, Timothy by name, the son of a certain believing Jewess and a Greek father. ² He was being testified of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. ³ This one, Paul wished to go forth together with him, and he took Timothy and circumcised him because of the Jews who are in those places; for they all knew that his father was Greek.

²⁵ But now, I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the holy-ones.

²⁸ Therefore, having completed this thing and having sealed this fruit for them, I will be going away into Spain through you.

² And we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant and our fellow worker in the good-news of the Christ, that he might establish you and to encourage you concerning your faith;

¹² Fight the good fight of the faith, grab the everlasting life, to which you were called and professed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

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,

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow worker,

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, you know.
And he said to me, These are those who are coming out of the great affliction and they have rinsed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

² And he found a certain Jew, Aquila by name, and his wife Priscilla, a man of Pontus by race, who recently had come from Italy because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart out of Rome. He came to them

¹ Now as it was decided for us to sail toward Italy, and they were giving to a centurion, Julius by name, from the Emperor’s cohort, Paul and some other prisoners.

¹ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of my needs from the congregation in Cenchreae: ² in order that you should accept her in the Lord, worthy of the holy-ones, and that you should stand beside her in whatever matter she has need from you. For she herself has also become an assistant of many, and of me myself.
