² suddenly there was a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind; and the whole house where they were sitting was filled with it. ³ And there appeared to them tongues, which were divided like flame; and they rested upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in diverse languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

³³ And he it is, who is exalted by the right hand of God, and hath received from the Father a promise respecting the Holy Spirit, and hath sent this gift which, lo, ye see and hear.

¹⁶ And, by the faith in his name, he hath strengthened and cured this man, whom ye see and know; and faith in him hath given the man this soundness before you all.

¹² Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live.

³² And we are the witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Spirit, whom God giveth to them that believe in him.

³⁶ And as they proceeded on the way, they came to a certain place in which there was water. And the eunuch said: Lo, here is water; what doth forbid, that I should be baptized?

²³ And when he came there, and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced: and he entreated them, that with all their heart, they would adhere to our Lord.

¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets accord, as it is written:

³¹ Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge all the earth, with righteousness, by the man whom he hath designated: and he turneth every man to faith in him, in that he raised him from the dead.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit hath established you bishops; that ye feed the church of God, which he hath acquired by his blood.

²⁸ And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not, ²⁹ being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations, ³⁰ and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents, ³¹ and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion. ³² These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.

⁹ What then, have WE the superiority, when we have before decided as to both Jews and Gentiles, that all of them are under sin? ¹⁰ As it is written: There is none righteous; no, no one: ¹¹ and none that understandeth; nor that seeketh after God. ¹² They have all turned aside, together; and become reprobates. There is none that doeth good; no, not one. ¹³ Their throats are open sepulchres, and their tongues treacherous; and the venom of the asp is under their lips. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ and their feet are swift to shed blood. ¹⁶ Destruction and anguish are in their paths: ¹⁷ and the path of peacefulness they have not known: ¹⁸ and the fear of God is not before their eyes.

²⁵ whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed,

²⁰ And the entrance given to the law, was that sin might increase: and where sin increased, there grace abounded. 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.

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.

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

¹² Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is holy, and righteous, and good.

²² For I rejoice in the law of God, in the interior man.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage, again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Father, our Father. ¹⁶ And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.

¹⁶ And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷ And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

³⁵ What will sever me from the love of Messiah? Will affliction? or distress? or persecution? or famine? or nakedness? or peril? or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake, we die daily: and, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these things we are victorious, by means of him who loved us.

⁵ and from among whom, Messiah appeared in the flesh, who is God over all; to whom be praises and benediction, for ever and ever; Amen.

⁹ And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live. ¹⁰ For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life.

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

⁷ Neither should we serve idols, as some of them served; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my Beloved, flee from idolatry.

⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts; but the Spirit is one. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministrations; but the Lord is one. ⁶ And there are diversities of energies; but God, who worketh all in all men, is one.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, that giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

¹² For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of God, and not in the wisdom of the flesh, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially towards you.

²² and hath sealed us, and hath given the earnest of his Spirit in our hearts.

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.

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.

¹ For we know that, if our house on earth-this of the body, were dissolved, yet we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

¹⁷ Whoever therefore is in the Messiah, is a new creature: old things have passed away;

¹⁶ or what agreement hath the temple of God with that of demons? For ye are the temple of the living God; as it is said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come ye out from among them, and be ye separate from them, saith the Lord; and come not near the unclean thing, and I will receive you;

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this evil world, agreeably to the pleasure of God our Father:

²⁰ And henceforth it is no more I who live, but the Messiah liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁶ And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father.

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

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him; ¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints; ¹⁹ and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,

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:

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

¹⁸ and that ye may be able to explore, with all the saints, what is the height and depth, and length and breadth,

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah loved his church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water, and by the word; ²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish.

⁹ and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God;

⁴ lo, ever since we heard of your faith in Jesus the Messiah, and of your love to all the saints;

² that their hearts may be comforted, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah, ³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

³ for ye are dead; and your life is hidden with the Messiah, in God.

³ for ye are dead; and your life is hidden with the Messiah, in God. ⁴ And when the Messiah, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory.

⁹ For they declare, what an ingress we had to you, and how ye turned from the worship of idols unto God, that ye might worship the living and true God;

¹⁵ Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary. 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.

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.

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

¹² Therefore I suffer these things: and I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is competent to keep for me my deposit against that day.

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith showed me many ills: our Lord will reward him according to his doings.

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

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

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.

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit,

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.

³ how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him, ⁴ while God gave testimony concerning them, by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, which were given according to his pleasure?

⁴ while God gave testimony concerning them, by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, which were given according to his pleasure?

⁶ but the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him.

¹² Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart that believeth not, and ye depart from the living God.

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

¹² For the word of God is living, and all-efficient, and sharper than a two-edged sword, and entereth even to the severance of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow and the bones, and judgeth the thoughts and reasonings of the heart: ¹³ neither is there any creature, which is concealed from before him; but every thing is naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom we are to give account.

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, ⁶ cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God.

¹⁸ so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;

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.

⁷ But into the interior tabernacle, once a year only, the high priest entered, with the blood which he offered for himself and for the sins of the people.

¹⁴ then how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purge our conscience from dead works, so that we may serve the living God?

²⁶ For if a man sin, voluntarily, after he hath received a knowledge of the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice which may be offered for sins: ²⁷ but the fearful judgment impendeth, and the zeal of fire that consumeth the adversaries. ²⁸ For if he, who transgressed the law of Moses, died without mercies, at the mouth of two or three witnesses; ²⁹ how much more, think ye, will he receive capital punishment, who hath trodden upon the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of his covenant, by which he is sanctified, as the blood of all men, and hath treated the Spirit of grace with contumely?

²⁹ how much more, think ye, will he receive capital punishment, who hath trodden upon the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of his covenant, by which he is sanctified, as the blood of all men, and hath treated the Spirit of grace with contumely? ³⁰ For we know him who hath said, Retribution is mine; and I will repay: and again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is very terrible, to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁵ Therefore cast not away your assurance which is to have a great reward.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant; and to the sprinkling, of his blood, which speaketh better than that of Abel.

¹² For this reason, Jesus also, that he might sanctify his people with his blood, suffered without the city.

²⁰ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord,

⁵ And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, not hesitating: he who hesitateth is like the waves of the sea, which the wind agitateth.

¹⁵ And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.

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.

³ Ye ask, and receive not; because ye ask wickedly, that ye may pamper your lusts. 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.

⁷ Subject yourselves therefore to God; and stand firm against Satan, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: sanctify your hearts, ye divided in mind. ⁹ Humble yourselves, and mourn: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into grief. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

¹⁴ And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord: ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ And confess ye your faults one to another, and pray ye one for another, that ye may be healed; for great is the efficacy of the prayer which a righteous man prayeth.

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,

²² while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart; 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.

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.

²¹ And ye also, by a like figure, are made alive by baptism, (not when ye wash your bodies from filth, but when ye confess God with a pure conscience,) and by the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah;

¹² These as I account them few things, I have written to you by Sylvanus, a faithful brother. And I would persuade, and would testify, that this is the true grace of God, this in which ye stand.

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. ¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁹ And we have moreover a sure word of prophecy; and ye will do well, if ye look to it as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day shall dawn, and the sun shall arise in your hearts;

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. ²² But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

³ And every one that hath this hope from him, purifieth himself, as he is pure. ⁴ And every one that practiseth sin, perpetrateth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

² By this the Spirit of God is known, every spirit that confesseth that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is of God.

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.

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. ⁶ But we are of God; and he that knoweth God, heareth us; and he that is not of God, heareth us not. By this, we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁶ But we are of God; and he that knoweth God, heareth us; and he that is not of God, heareth us not. By this, we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. ⁷ My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God.

⁹ By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live. 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.

¹⁴ And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son, a Redeemer for the world.

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.

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.

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? ⁶ This is he who came by the water and the blood. Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit testifieth; because the Spirit is truth.

⁶ This is he who came by the water and the blood. Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit testifieth; because the Spirit is truth. ⁷ For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

⁷ For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

⁷ For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. ⁸ And there are three witnesses, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are in union.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁶ If any one shall see his brother sin a sin which doth not deserve death, he shall ask, and life will be given him, to them I say who sin not as unto death. For there is a sin of death; and I do not say of this, that a man should pray for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹² Of Demetrius, there is good testimony from every one, and from the church, and from the truth itself: and we also bear him testimony, and ye know that our testimony is true.

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.

²⁴ And to him who is able to preserve you faultless, and spotless, and to establish you without a blemish,

² who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus the Messiah, as to all that he saw.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and quietude, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood;

⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood;

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.

¹¹ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that is victorious, shall not be harmed by the second death.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where the throne of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied the faith of me, in those days when my faithful witness, who was slain among you, was made a spectacle where Satan dwelleth.

¹⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that is victorious, will I give to eat of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white counter, and upon the counter a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.

²⁶ And to him that is victorious, and to him that observeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority, over the nations;

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star.

⁵ He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

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; ⁸ I know thy works. And lo, I have set before thee an open door, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength; and thou hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 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. ¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, that is to come on all the inhabited world, to try them who dwell on the earth.

¹² Him that is victorious, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall not again go out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and of the new Jerusalem which descendeth from heaven from my God, and my own new name.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church which is at Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the witness, the faithful, the true, the Chief of the creation of God:

²¹ And to him that is victorious, to him will I give to sit with me on my throne, even as I was victorious, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord, thou holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹⁴ And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

²⁰ And the residue of men who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which cannot see, nor hear.

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.

¹¹ And they overcame him, because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony: and they loved not their life, even to death.

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. ]

⁷ And authority was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation: and it was given him to wage war with the saints, and to overcome them. ⁸ And all that dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.

¹⁴ And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, to erect an image to the beast of prey who had the wound from a sword and recovered. ¹⁵ And it was given him to put life into the image of the beast of prey; and to cause that all they who would not worship the image of the beast of prey, should be slain:

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever; and there is no rest, by day or by night, to those that worship the beast of prey and its image.

² And I saw as it were, a sea of glass mixed with fire: and they, who had been victorious over the beast of prey, and over its image, and over the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass; and they had the harps of God. ³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvellous are thy deeds, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, O King of worlds.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened: and lo, a white horse; and he that sat on it, is called Faithful and True: and in righteousness he judgeth, and maketh war.

¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, The Word of God.

³ And he cast him into the abyss, and closed and sealed upon him; so that he might deceive the nations no more, until these thousand years shall be completed: but after that, he will be loosed for a little time.

⁷ And when these thousand years shall be completed, Satan will be released from his prison; ⁸ and will go forth to seduce the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog; and to assemble them for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

¹ And he showed me a river of living water, transparent as crystal, which proceeded from the throne of God and the Lamb.
