1 John 2 Cross References - Murdock

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous. ² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world. ³ And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings. ⁷ My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear. ⁹ Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling. ¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning.

I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. ¹⁸ My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time. ¹⁹ From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us. ²⁰ But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person. ²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son. ²³ And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father. ²⁴ And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. ²⁶ And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you. ²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him. ²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.

²³ Jesus answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you.

² Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing.

⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing.

⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing. ⁶ And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned.

⁶ And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned. ⁷ But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you.

⁷ But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you.

⁹ As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me. ¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love.

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love.

¹² This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁹ And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you.

²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father;

³ And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me.

¹³ But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come.

² As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he might give life eternal to as many as thou hast given him. ³ And this is life eternal, that they may know thee, that thou art the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Messiah.

²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, my Father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe, that thou didst send me.

²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, my Father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; so that the world may believe, that thou didst send me. ²² And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them; that they may be one, as we are one. ²³ I in them, and thou in me; that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou didst send me, and that thou hast loved them as also thou hast loved me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that those whom thou hast given me, may also be with me where I am; that they may see that glory of mine which thou hast given me, as thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

⁵ And Jesus said to them: Lads, have ye any thing to eat? They say to him: No.

⁴³ And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name, will receive remission of sins.

³⁸ Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.

²⁴ We have heard, that some have gone from us and disquieted you, by discourses, and have subverted your minds, by saying, That ye must be circumcised and keep the law; things which we have not commanded them.

¹⁹ And they took him and brought him to the place of judgments called Areopagus, and said to him: May we know what this new doctrine which thou preachest is?

²⁹ For I know, that after I am gone, fierce wolves will come in among you, and will have no mercy on the flock. ³⁰ And also, from among yourselves, there will rise up men speaking perverse things, that they may turn away the disciples to go after them.

³⁰ And also, from among yourselves, there will rise up men speaking perverse things, that they may turn away the disciples to go after them.

¹⁴ And he said to me: The God of our fathers hath ordained thee to know his will, and to behold the Just One, and to hear the voice of his mouth.

¹⁸ to open their eyes; that they may turn from darkness to the light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God; and may receive remission of sins, and a portion with the saints, by faith in me.

⁷ to them who, by perseverance in good works, seek for glory and honor and immortality, to them he will give life eternal;

¹⁸ that thou knowest his good pleasure, and discernest obligations, because thou art instructed in the law; ¹⁹ and hast confidence in thyself, that thou art a guide to the blind, and a light to them who are in darkness, ²⁰ and an instructor of those lacking knowledge, and a preceptor to the young; and thou hast the appearance of knowledge and of verity in the law : ²¹ Thou therefore, who teachest others, teachest thou not thyself? And thou who teachest that men must not steal, dost thou steal?

²⁵ whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed, ²⁶ in the space which God in his long suffering gave to us, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time; that he might be righteous, and might with righteousness justify him who is in the faith of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

⁶ As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works, ⁷ saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up:

²¹ So that, as sin had reigned in death, so grace might reign in righteousness unto life eternal, by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹ What shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ² Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it?

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is life eternal, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹ There is therefore no condemnation, to them who, in Jesus Messiah, walk not after the flesh.

³⁴ Who is it that condemneth? Messiah died, and arose, and is on the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us.

⁶ Not, however, that the word of God hath actually failed. For all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

³² And why? Because they sought it, not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone: ³³ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

³³ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

⁵ So also at the present time, a remnant is preserved, by the election of grace. ⁶ But if by grace, it is not by works: otherwise, grace is not grace. And if by works, it is not by grace: Otherwise, work is not work.

² And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed, by the renovation of your minds: and discern ye what is the good and acceptable and perfect pleasure of God.

⁸ And owe nothing to any one; but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbor, hath fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love doeth no evil to one's neighbor; because love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹² The night now passeth away, and the day draweth near. Let us therefore cast from us the works of darkness; and let us put on the armor of light.

¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites.

¹³ Henceforth, judge ye not one another; but rather, judge ye this, that thou erect not a stumbling-block for thy brother.

¹⁴ Now I am persuaded, my Brethren, even I, concerning you; that ye too are full of goodness, and are replenished with all knowledge, and are able also to instruct others. ¹⁵ Yet I have written rather boldly to you, my Brethren, that I might put you in remembrance; because of the grace which is given to me by God,

⁷ so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

³⁰ And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption :

¹³ Which things we also speak; not in the teaching of the words of man's wisdom, but in the teaching of the spirit; and we compare spirituals with spirituals.

¹⁵ But he that is spiritual, judgeth of all things: and he is judged of by no one.

¹⁴ I write these things, not to shame you; but I instruct you, as dear children. ¹⁵ For though ye have a myriad of teachers in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Jesus Messiah, I have begotten you by preaching.

³¹ and those occupied with this world, not going beyond the just using: for the fashion of this world is passing away.

⁶ Now these things were an example for us, that we should not hanker after evil things as they hankered.

¹ Be ye imitators of me, as I am of the Messiah.

¹⁹ For there are to be contentions among you, that the approved among you may be known.

² that ye have been pagans; and have been, without distinction, led away after idols, in which there is no speech. ³ I therefore inform you, that there is no man, that speaketh by the Spirit of God, who saith that Jesus is accursed: neither can a man say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

¹ If I could speak in every tongue of men, and in that of angels, and there should be no love in me, I should be like brass that resoundeth, or the cymbal that maketh a noise. ² And if there should be in me the gift of prophecy, and I should understand all the mysteries, and every science; and if there should be in me all faith, so that I could move mountains, and love should not be in me, I should be nothing. ³ And if I should feed out to the destitute all I possess; and if I should give my body to be burned; and there should be no love in me, I gain nothing.

²³ every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah's, at his coming.

³⁴ Let your hearts be righteously excited, and sin not: for there are some, in whom is not the love of God: it is to your shame, I say it.

²¹ Now it is God who establisheth us, with you, in the Messiah, and hath anointed us, ²² and hath sealed us, and hath given the earnest of his Spirit in our hearts.

¹⁴ But they were blinded in their understanding; for until this day, when the old Testament is read, the same vail resteth upon them; nor is it manifest to them, that it is abolished by the Messiah.

⁴ to them whose minds the God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them.

⁴ to them whose minds the God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them. ⁵ For it is not ourselves that we preach, but the Messiah, Jesus our Lord; and, as to ourselves, that we are your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself shined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus the Messiah.

⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself shined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁷ Whoever therefore is in the Messiah, is a new creature: old things have passed away; ¹⁸ and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. ¹⁹ For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

⁹ For ye know the goodness of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who when he was rich, for your sakes became poor, that by his poverty ye might be made rich.

¹³ For they are false legates, crafty workers, and feign themselves to be legates of the Messiah. ¹⁴ And in this there is nothing strange. For if Satan feigneth himself an angel of light, ¹⁵ it is no great thing if his ministers feign themselves ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I had till now pleased men, I should not have been a servant of the Messiah.

¹⁹ Ye are my children, of whom I travail in birth again, till the Messiah be formed in you.

¹³ And ye, my brethren, have been called into liberty: only let not your liberty be an occasion to the flesh; but, by love, be ye servants to each other. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one sentence; in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

¹⁷ For the flesh craveth that which is repugnant to the Spirit; and the Spirit craveth that which is repugnant to the flesh: and the two are the opposites of each other, so that ye do not that which ye desire.

²⁴ And they who are of the Messiah, have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its cravings.

⁸ He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting.

⁷ by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,

² in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience: ³ in which deeds we also, formerly, were conversant, in the cravings of our flesh; and we did the pleasure of our flesh, and of our mind, and were altogether the children of wrath, like the rest.

¹⁸ because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father.

²¹ if ye have truly heard him, and by him have learned as the truth is in Jesus.

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: and let not the sun go down upon your wrath.

³² and be ye affectionate towards one another, and sympathetic; and forgive ye one another, as God by the Messiah hath forgiven us.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dear children: ² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor.

² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor.

⁸ For ye were heretofore darkness, but now are ye light in our Lord: therefore, as the children of light, so walk ye.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and; in the energy of his power:

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and; in the energy of his power: ¹¹ And put ye on; the whole armor of God, so that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Accuser. ¹² For our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, and with those in authority, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits that are beneath heaven.

¹⁰ so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah,

¹³ I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengtheneth me.

¹⁵ And ye know also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the annunciation, when I left Macedonia, not one of the churches communicated with me in respect to receiving and giving, except ye only;

⁹ Therefore we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray for you; and to ask that ye may be filled with a knowledge of the good pleasure of God, in all wisdom, and in all spiritual understanding;

¹¹ and may be strengthened with all strength, according to the greatness of his glory, in all patience and long suffering;

¹⁴ by whom we have redemption and remission of sins:

⁶ As therefore ye have received Jesus the Messiah our Lord, walk ye in him,

⁸ Beware, lest any man make you naked by philosophy, and by vain deception, according to the doctrines of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to the Messiah, ⁹ in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity corporeally. ¹⁰ And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities.

¹⁸ And let no one wish, by abasing the mind, to bring you under bonds, that ye subject yourselves to the worship of angels; while he is prying into that which he hath not seen, and is vainly inflated in his fleshly mind,

¹ If then ye have risen with the Messiah, seek the things on high, where the Messiah sitteth on the right hand of God. ² Think of things on high; not of the things on earth:

⁴ And when the Messiah, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.

¹⁶ And let his word dwell in you richly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves, by psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and with grace in your hearts sing ye unto God.

¹² Epaphras saluteth you, who is from among you, a servant of the Messiah, always laboring for you in prayer, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the good pleasure of God.

¹³ Therefore also we give thanks unceasingly to God, that the word of God which ye received from us, ye did not receive as the word of men, but as being truly the word of God, which worketh efficiently in you and in them that believe.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, and our joy, and the crown of our glorying; unless it be ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

¹³ and establish your hearts unblamable in holiness, before God our Father; at the advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, with all his saints.

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, I entreat you, and beseech you by our Lord Jesus, that, as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God, so ye would make progress more and more. ² For ye know what command we gave you in our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ³ For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom;

⁴ But ye, my brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. ⁵ For ye are all children of the light, and children of the day; and are not children of the night, and children of darkness. ⁶ Let us not therefore sleep, like others; but let us be vigilant and considerate. ⁷ For they who sleep, sleep in the night; and they who are drunken, are drunken in the night. ⁸ But let us who are children of the day, be wakeful in mind, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and take the helmet of the hope of life.

¹⁸ And in every thing be thankful: For this is the pleasure of God in Jesus the Messiah, concerning you.

²³ And may the God of peace sanctify you all, perfectly, and keep blameless your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body, till the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

³ Let no one deceive you in any way; because that day will not come, unless there previously come a defection, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ⁴ who is an opposer, and exalteth himself above all that is called God and Worshipful; so that he also sitteth in the temple of God, as a God, and displayeth himself, as if he were God. ⁵ Do ye not remember, that, when I was with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And now, ye know what hindereth his being manifested in his time. ⁷ For the mystery of the evil One already beginneth to be operative: and only, if that which now hindereth shall be taken from the midst; ⁸ then at length will that evil One be revealed; whom our Lord Jesus will consume by the breath of his mouth, and will bring to naught by the visibility of his advent. ⁹ For the coming of that evil One, is the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life. ¹¹ Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie; ¹² and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity.

¹⁶ But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal.

⁵ For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah;

⁷ of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.

¹⁴ These things I write to thee, while hoping soon to come to thee;

¹ But the Spirit saith explicitly, that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith; and will go after deceptive spirits, and after the doctrine of demons.

¹ But the Spirit saith explicitly, that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith; and will go after deceptive spirits, and after the doctrine of demons. ² These will seduce, by a false appearance; and will utter a lie, and will be seared in their conscience; ³ and will forbid to marry; and will require abstinence from meats, which God hath created for use and for thankfulness, by them who believe and know the truth.

¹ Chide not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men, as thy brothers;

¹⁰ for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows.

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

¹⁴ that thou keep the injunction, without stain, and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

¹⁹ and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life.

¹⁰ and is now made known by the appearing of our Vivifier, Jesus the Messiah; who hath abolished death, and hath made manifest life and immortality, by the gospel:

¹ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is by Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory.

¹⁹ But the firm foundation of God standeth; and it hath this seal, The Lord knoweth them who are his: and, Let every one who invoketh the name of our Lord, stand aloof from iniquity.

¹ But this know thou, that in the latter days hard times will come: ² and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boasters, proud, censorious, unyielding towards their own people, denyers of grace, wicked, ³ calumniators, addicted to concupiscence, ferocious, haters of the good, ⁴ treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of God, ⁵ having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee. ⁶ For of them are they who creep into this and that house, and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,

⁹ But they will not make progress, for their infatuation will be understood by every one, as theirs also was understood.

¹³ But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived.

³ For the time will come, when they will not give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing; ⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables.

⁸ and henceforth there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, with which my Lord, the righteous Judge, will recompense me in that day; and not me only, but them also who love his manifestation.

² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world;

¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

⁶ And likewise exhort young men to be sober.

¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men; ¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God,

¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God,

¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, ¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another.

⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds;

⁸ But of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre is the sceptre of thy kingdom. ⁹ Thou hast loved rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.

⁹ Thou hast loved rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.

¹ Therefore we ought to be exceedingly cautious, in regard to what we have heard, lest we fall away.

¹⁴ For we have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end:

⁹ And thus he was perfected and became the cause of eternal life to all them who obey him.

² And to him Abraham imparted tithes of all that he had with him. Moreover his name is interpreted king of righteousness; and again he is called King of Salem, that is King of Peace.

²⁴ but this man, because he standeth up for ever, his priesthood doth not pass away: ²⁵ and he is able to vivify for ever, them who come to God by him; for he always liveth, and sendeth up prayers for them. ²⁶ For, a priest like to him, was also suitable for us; one pure, and without evil and without stain; one separated from sins, and exalted higher than heaven;

²⁶ For, a priest like to him, was also suitable for us; one pure, and without evil and without stain; one separated from sins, and exalted higher than heaven;

¹⁰ But this is the covenant which I will give to the family of the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my law in their minds, and inscribe it on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

¹⁰ But this is the covenant which I will give to the family of the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my law in their minds, and inscribe it on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And one shall not teach his fellow-citizen, nor his brother, nor say: Know thou the Lord: because they shall all know me, from the youngest of them to the oldest.

¹¹ And one shall not teach his fellow-citizen, nor his brother, nor say: Know thou the Lord: because they shall all know me, from the youngest of them to the oldest.

²⁴ For the Messiah entered not into the sanctuary made with hands, which is the emblem of the true sanctuary: but he entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.

²⁸ so also the Messiah was once offered; and, by himself, he immolated the sins of many: and a second time, without sins, will he appear for the life of them who expect him.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience; that ye may do the pleasure of God, and may receive the promise.

³⁹ But we are not of that drawing-back, which leadeth to perdition; but of that faith, which maketh us possess our soul.

¹⁰ and the rich, in his depression; because, like the flower of an herb, so he passeth away. ¹¹ For the sun riseth in its heat, and drieth up the herb; and its flower falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth: so also the rich man withereth in his ways.

¹⁸ He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.

²⁷ For the worship that is pure and holy before God the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and that one keep himself unspotted from the world.

⁸ And if in this ye fulfill the law of God, as it is written, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye will do well: ⁹ but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin; and ye are convicted by the law, as transgressors of the law. ¹⁰ For he that shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one precept, is obnoxious to the whole law. ¹¹ For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. If then thou commit no adultery, but thou killest, thou hast become a transgressor of the law. ¹² So speak ye, and so act, as persons that are to be judged by the law of liberty.

¹⁴ What is the use, my brethren, if a man say, I have faith; and he hath no works? can his faith vivify him? ¹⁵ Or if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say to them, Go in peace, warm yourselves, and be full; and ye give them not the necessaries of the body, what is the use?

²² Seest thou, that his faith aided his works; and that by the works his faith was rendered complete?

⁹ For with it, we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who were made in the image of God:

¹⁵ For this wisdom cometh not down from above; but is earthly, and from the devices of the soul, and from demons.

⁴ Ye adulterers, know ye not, that the love of the world is hostility towards God? He therefore who chooseth to be a lover of this world, is the enemy of God.

¹⁴ And they know not what will be to-morrow: for what is our life, but an exhalation that is seen a little while, and then vanisheth and is gone?

² to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you. ³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life, ⁴ and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven; ⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;

⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;

⁷ so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:

¹⁴ as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge. ¹⁵ But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you. ¹⁶ Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy. ¹⁷ And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear; ¹⁸ since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah: ²⁰ who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes; ²¹ who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; that your faith and hope might be in God,

²³ like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. ²⁴ Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away; ²⁵ but the word of our God abideth for ever: and this is the word that is announced to you.

¹¹ My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they war against the soul.

²¹ For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps. ²² He did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth.

²⁴ And he took away all our sins, and, in his body, lifted them to the cross; that we, when dead to sin, might live by his righteousness: for by his wounds, ye are healed.

¹⁸ For the Messiah also once died for our sins, the righteous for sinners; that he might bring you to God. And he died in body, but lived in spirit.

¹ If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins, ² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.

² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God. ³ For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.

⁴ that when the chief shepherd shall be revealed, ye may receive from him a crown of glory that fadeth not.

⁸ Be sober and guarded, because Satan your adversary, like a lion, roareth, and goeth about, and seeketh whom he may devour. ⁹ Therefore resist him, being steadfast in the faith: and know ye, that the same sufferings befall your brethren that are in the world.

⁴ wherein he hath given you very great and precious promises; that by them ye might become partakers of the nature of God, while ye flee from the corruptions of the lusts that are in the world.

⁹ For he, in whom these things are not found, is blind and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purgation of his former sins. ¹⁰ And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away.

¹² And for this reason I am not wearied in reminding you continually of these things; although ye know them well, and are established in this truth.

¹⁶ For we have not gone after fables artfully framed, in making known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; but it was after we had been spectators of his majesty. ¹⁷ For, when he received from God the Father honor and glory, and, after the splendid glory of his majesty, a voice came to him thus: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;

¹ But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.

¹ But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go after their profaneness; on account of whom, the way of truth will be reproached. ³ And, in the cupidity of raving words, they will make merchandise of you: whose judgment, of a long time, is not idle; and their destruction slumbereth not.

¹⁰ and especially them who go after the flesh in the lusts of pollution, and despise government. Daring and arrogant, they shudder not with awe while they blaspheme;

¹⁸ For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error.

²⁰ For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. ²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.

³ knowing this previously, that there will come in the last days scoffers, who will scoff, walking according to their own lusts; ⁴ and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, since our fathers fell asleep, every thing remaineth just as from the beginning of the creation. ⁵ For this they willingly forget, that the heavens were of old; and the earth rose up from the waters, and by means of water, by the word of God. ⁶ And, by means of these waters, the world which then was, being submerged again perished in the waters. ⁷ And the heavens that now are, and the earth, are by his word stored up, being reserved for the fire at the day of judgment and the perdition of wicked men. ⁸ And of this one thing, my beloved, be not forgetful, That one day, to the Lord, is as a thousand years; and a thousand years, as one day. ⁹ The Lord doth not procrastinate his promises, as some estimate procrastination; but he is long suffering, for your sakes, being not willing that any should perish, but that every one should come to repentance. ¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come, like a thief; in which the heavens will suddenly pass away; and the elements, being ignited, will be dissolved; and the earth and the works in it, will not be found. ¹¹ As therefore all these things are to be dissolved, what persons ought ye to be, in holy conduct, and in the fear of God, ¹² expecting and desiring the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being tried by fire will be dissolved, and the elements being ignited will melt?

¹ WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen and do testify and announce to you, the life which is eternal; which was with the Father, and was revealed to us. ³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.

³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah. ⁴ And these things we write to you, that our joy in you may be complete.

⁴ And these things we write to you, that our joy in you may be complete.

⁶ And if we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in the darkness, we are liars, and walk not in the truth.

⁶ And if we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in the darkness, we are liars, and walk not in the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all our sins. ⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity.

⁹ But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.

¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.

³ And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings. ⁷ My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard.

⁹ Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.

¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.

¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.

¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁴ I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one.

¹⁴ I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one.

¹⁸ My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.

²⁰ But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person. ²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth.

²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son. ²³ And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father. ²⁴ And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.

²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.

²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him. ²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming.

²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming.

²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.

² My beloved, now are we the sons of God; and hitherto, it hath not appeared what we are to be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, and we shall see him as he is.

⁵ And ye know, that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him was no sin. ⁶ And every one that abideth in him, sinneth not: and every one that sinneth, hath not seen him, nor hath known him. ⁷ My children, let no one deceive you: he that doeth righteousness, is righteous, as the Messiah also is righteous.

⁹ Every one that is born of God, doth not practise sin; because his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. ¹⁰ By this are the children of God discriminated from the children of Satan. Every one that practiseth not righteousness, and that loveth not his brother, is not of God: ¹¹ because this is the commandment, which ye heard from the beginning, that ye should love one another. ¹² Not like Cain, who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him, but because his own works were evil, and those of his brother righteous? ¹³ And wonder not, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have turned from death unto life, by this, that we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

¹⁴ We know that we have turned from death unto life, by this, that we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

¹⁴ We know that we have turned from death unto life, by this, that we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death. ¹⁵ For every one that hateth his brother, is a man-slayer; and ye know, that no man-slayer can have eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁵ For every one that hateth his brother, is a man-slayer; and ye know, that no man-slayer can have eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ By this we know his love towards us, because he gave up his life for us: and we also ought to give up our lives for our brethren.

¹⁶ By this we know his love towards us, because he gave up his life for us: and we also ought to give up our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ But whoever hath worldly possessions, and seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how is the love of God in him?

¹⁷ But whoever hath worldly possessions, and seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how is the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in acts and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this, we recognize that we are of the truth; and, before he shall come, we make our hearts confident.

²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemneth us not, we have open countenances before God. ²² And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do acceptable things before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we understand that he abideth in us, from his Spirit which he hath given to us.

²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we understand that he abideth in us, from his Spirit which he hath given to us.

¹ My beloved, believe not all spirits; but discriminate among spirits, whether they are of God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

³ And every spirit which confesseth not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is not of God; but he is of the false Messiah, of whom ye have heard that he cometh, and now is he already in the world. ⁴ But ye children, are of God; and ye have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you, than he who is in the world. ⁵ And they are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them.

⁷ My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God.

¹⁰ In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one hath ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³ And by this we know, that we abide in him and that he abideth in us, because he hath given of his Spirit to us.

¹³ And by this we know, that we abide in him and that he abideth in us, because he hath given of his Spirit to us. ¹⁴ And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son, a Redeemer for the world. ¹⁵ Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God.

¹⁵ Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God. ¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.

¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God. ¹⁷ And hereby is his love perfected with us; that we may have open countenances in the day of judgment; because as he was, so also are we in this world. ¹⁸ In love there is no fear; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear existeth in peril, and he that feareth is not perfected in love.

²⁰ And if any one shall say, I love God, and yet hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother who is visible, how can he love God who is invisible? ²¹ And this command we have received from him, that whoever loveth God, must love also his brother.

¹ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him. ² And by this we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and follow his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome. ⁴ Because, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.

⁴ Because, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith. ⁵ For who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁰ Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified concerning his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one that taketh hold of the Son, taketh hold of life; and every one that taketh not hold of the Son, hath not life. ¹³ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, ye who believe in the name of the Son of God. ¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatever we ask of him, agreeably to his will, he heareth us.

¹⁸ And we know, that every one who is born of God, sinneth not: for he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not. ¹⁹ We know, that we are of God; and all the world is reposing on the evil one. ²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal. ²¹ My children, keep yourselves from idolatry.

² for the sake of the truth, which abideth in us and is with us for ever.

⁵ And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning,) that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it. ⁷ Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh. This is a seducer and Antichrist.

⁹ Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Messiah, God is not in him. And he who abideth in his doctrine, he hath the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, entertain him not in your house, nor say to him, Joy to thee: ¹¹ for he that saith to him, Joy to thee, is a participator in his evil deeds.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified concerning thy integrity, even as thou walkest in the truth.

¹¹ Our beloved, be not a follower of what is evil, but of what is good. He that doeth good, is of God; but he that doeth evil, hath not seen God.

¹ JUDE, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and the brother of James, to the called people, the beloved of God the Father, the preserved by Jesus the Messiah :

⁴ For some have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace of God to impurity, and deny him who is the only Lord God and our Lord, Jesus the Messiah. ⁵ And I wish to remind you, though ye all know it, that God, after once rescuing the people from Egypt, again destroyed them who believed not.

¹⁶ These are they who murmur and complain of every thing, while they walk according to their lusts; and their mouth speaketh shocking things; and they flatter people, for the sake of gain. ¹⁷ But do ye, my beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the legates of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; ¹⁸ because they told you, that in the end of the times there would be scoffers, going after wickedness, according to their lusts.

¹⁸ because they told you, that in the end of the times there would be scoffers, going after wickedness, according to their lusts. ¹⁹ These are they that separate themselves, sensual persons, not having the Spirit.

²¹ And let us keep ourselves in the love of God, while we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah unto our eternal life.

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds; and all eyes shall see him, and also they who speared him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn on account of him. Yes: Amen.

³ And thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, and hast not fainted.

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who is victorious, will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard; and observe those precepts, and repent. If then thou wilt not wake up, I will come upon thee as a thief; and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.

⁷ And to the angel of the church which is at Philadelphia, write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, who openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth;

⁹ Behold, I will give them of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold I will make them to come and do obeisance before thy feet; and to know that I have loved thee.

¹¹ I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, so that no one take thy crown.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich and affluent, and have no want of any thing; and thou knowest not, that thou art impotent, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked;

⁸ And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and Satan, who seduceth all the inhabited world: he was cast upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged against the woman; and he went to make war upon the residue of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. [ (Revelation of John 12:18) And he stood on the sand of the sea. ]

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth will mourn over her, because no one purchaseth their cargo; ¹² no more, the cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and every aromatic wood, and all vessels of ivory, and all vessels of very precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble, ¹³ and cinnamon, and amomum, and aromatics, and unguents, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts of burden, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and the bodies and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the fruits which thy soul desired, have departed from thee; and all things delicious and splendid have perished from thee; and the traders in them shall obtain them no more. ¹⁵ And they who were enriched from her, will stand afar off, for fear of her torment; and will weep and mourn, ¹⁶ saying: Alas, alas! that great city, which was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; because, in one hour, such riches are laid waste. ¹⁷ And every pilot, and every navigator to the place, and the sailors, and all who do business by sea) stood afar off,

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
