1 Timothy 4 Cross References - Murdock

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. ⁴ Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer. ⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught. ⁷ But the silly tales of old women, shun thou; and occupy thyself with righteousness. ⁸ For, exercising the body is profitable a little while; but righteousness is every way profitable and hath promise of the life of the present time and of that to come. ⁹ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of reception. ¹⁰ For on this account, we toil and suffer reproach; because we trust in the living God, who is the life-giver of all men, especially of the believers. ¹¹ These things teach thou, and inculcate. ¹² And let no one despise thy youth; but be thou a pattern for the believers, in speech, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity. ¹³ Until I come, be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching. ¹⁴ Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, and by the laying on of the hand of the eldership. ¹⁵ On these things meditate; give thyself wholly to them: that it may be obvious to all that thou makest advances. ¹⁶ Be attentive to thyself, and to thy teaching; and persevere in them. For in doing this, thou wilt procure life to thyself and to them who hear thee.

For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

¹⁶ Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

⁵ For many will come in my name, and will say, I am the Messiah: and they will deceive many. ⁶ And ye are to hear of conflicts, and the rumor of battles. See that ye be not disquieted: for all these things must come; but the consummation is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. ⁸ But all these are only the commencement of sorrows. ⁹ And they will deliver you up to tribulation, and will kill you: and ye will be hated by all nations, on account of my name. ¹⁰ Then many will be stumbled: and they will hate one another, and will betray one another. ¹¹ And many false prophets will rise up; and they will deceive many. ¹² And on account of the abounding of iniquity, the love of many will decline.

²⁴ For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

¹⁴ For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property; ¹⁵ to one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one: to each, according to his ability: and he immediately departed. ¹⁶ Then he that received five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five more. ¹⁷ And likewise: the one of two talents, by trading gained two more. ¹⁸ But he that received one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. ¹⁹ And after a long time, the lord of those servants came, and received account from them. ²⁰ And he who had received the five talents, came and brought five others; and said, My lord, thou gavest me five talents; behold, I have gained by trading five more to them. ²¹ His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. ²² And he of the two talents came, and said: My lord, thou gavest me two talents; behold, I have by trading gained two more to them. ²³ His lord said to him: Well done! good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful with a little; I will set thee over much: enter thou into the Joy of thy lord. ²⁴ And he also that received the one talent, came and said: My lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowed, and gathering where thou hast not scattered; ²⁵ and I was afraid, and I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold, thou hast what is thine. ²⁶ His lord answered, and said to him: Wicked and slothful servant! Thou knewest me, that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not scattered! ²⁷ Thou oughtest to have cast my money into the exchange; and I might have come and demanded my property with its interest. ²⁸ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents. ²⁹ For, to him that hath, shall be given, and he shall have more; but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away. ³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹² And he said: A certain man of high birth was going to a distant place, to obtain royalty, and return again. ¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds: and he said to them, Traffic until I come. ¹⁴ But the inhabitants of his city hated him; and they sent envoys after him, saying: We wish this man not to reign over us. ¹⁵ And when he had obtained the royalty, and had returned, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had committed his money; that he might know what each of them had gained by trading. ¹⁶ And the first came, and said: My Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. ¹⁷ He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds. ¹⁹ He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns. ²⁰ And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen. ²¹ For I was afraid of thee, because thou art a hard man, and takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou sowedst not. ²² He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not! ²³ Why didst thou not put my money into the broker's hands, that when I came, I might have demanded it with interest? ²⁴ And he said to them that stood before him: Take from him the pound, and give it to him with whom are the ten pounds. ²⁵ They say to him: Our lord, there are with him ten pounds. ²⁶ He said to them: I tell you, that to every one that hath, will be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be, at no time, stupefied by gluttony and ebriety and worldly care; and so that day come upon you unawares.

¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of him.

⁴² And they said to the woman: Henceforth we believe in him, not on account of thy word; for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he truly is the Messiah, the Life-Giver of the world.

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath life eternal, and will not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death to life.

²³ yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.

³¹ And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples. ³² And ye will know the truth; and the truth will make you free.

⁴ and we will continue in prayer, and in the ministration of the word.

⁶ These stood before the legates; and when they had prayed, they laid the hand on them.

¹⁷ Then they laid the hand on them; and they received the Holy Spirit.

¹³ And a voice came to him, which said: Simon, arise, slay and eat. ¹⁴ And Simon said: Far be it, my Lord: for never have I eaten any thing unclean and polluted. ¹⁵ And again the second time, there was a voice to him: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean.

⁷ And I heard a voice, which said to me: Simon, arise slay and eat. ⁸ And I said: Far be it, my Lord. For never hath any thing polluted or unclean entered my mouth. ⁹ And again, a voice from heaven said to me: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean.

² And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them. ³ And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away.

²⁰ But let word be sent to them, that they keep aloof from the defilement of a sacrifice to idols, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For in every city, from former ages, Moses hath heralds in the synagogues, who read him every sabbath.

²⁹ that ye keep aloof from a sacrifice to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom. And if ye keep yourselves from these, ye will do well. Be ye steadfast in the Lord.

¹¹ For the Jews there were more liberal than the Jews of Thessalonica; and they gladly heard the word from them daily, and searched from the scriptures whether these things were so.

¹⁸ And also philosophers of the sect of Epicureans, and others who were called Stoics, disputed with him. And one and another of them said: What doth this word-monger mean? Others said: He announceth foreign deities; because he preached to them Jesus and his resurrection.

⁶ And Paul laid his hand on them; and the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in various tongues, and prophesied.

²⁶ I therefore protest to you, this day, that I am pure from the blood of you all. ²⁷ For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will of God. 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.

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. ³¹ Therefore be ye vigilant; and remember, that for three years I ceased not to admonish each one of you, by day and by night, with tears.

³⁵ And I have showed you all things; that thus it is a duty to labor, and to care for the infirm, and to remember the words of our Lord Jesus; for he hath said, That he is more blessed who giveth, than he who receiveth.

²⁵ As to those of the Gentiles who have believed, we have written, that they should keep themselves from an idol's sacrifice, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

¹⁶ And for this reason, I also labor to have always a pure conscience before God, and before men.

²² But unto this day God hath helped me; and lo, I stand and bear testimony, to the small and to the great; yet saying nothing aside from Moses and the prophets, but the very things which they declared were to take place:

³⁵ And having said these things, he took bread, and gave glory to God before them all; and he broke it, and began to eat.

²⁵ And they went out from him, disagreeing among themselves. And Paul addressed to them this speech: Well did the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of Isaiah the prophet, speak concerning your fathers,

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,

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

²⁸ And we know that he aideth him in all things, for good, who love God; them whom he predestined to be called.

¹⁰ For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life. ¹¹ For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed. ¹² And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him. ¹³ For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life. ¹⁴ How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or, how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? Or, how shall they hear, without a preacher?

¹⁴ if, perhaps, I may provoke emulation in the children of my flesh, and may vivify some of them.

⁶ But we have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. There is that of prophecy, according to the measure of his faith. ⁷ And there is that of ministration, possessed by one in his ministry. And there is that of a teacher, in his teaching. ⁸ And there is that of a consoler, in his consoling: And that of a giver, with simplicity: And that of a presider, with dexterity: And of a sympathizer, with cheerfulness.

⁸ And there is that of a consoler, in his consoling: And that of a giver, with simplicity: And that of a presider, with dexterity: And of a sympathizer, with cheerfulness.

³ And he that eateth, should not despise him that eateth not; and he that eateth not, should not judge him that eateth, for God hath received him.

⁶ He that esteemeth a day, esteemeth it for his Lord: and he that esteemeth not a day, for his Lord, he doth not esteem it. And he that eateth, eateth to his Lord, and giveth thanks to God: and he that eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

¹⁴ I know indeed, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing which is unclean in itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him only it is defiled.

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

²⁰ And let us not, on account of food, destroy the work of God. For every thing is, indeed, pure; yet it is evil, to the man who eateth with stumbling.

¹² And again Isaiah said: There will be a root of Jesse; and he that shall arise, will be a prince for the Gentiles; and in him will the Gentiles hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, by faith; that ye may abound in his hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

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,

¹⁷ And I beseech you, my Brethren, that ye beware of them who cause divisions and stumblings among you, aside from the doctrine which ye have learned: and that ye stand aloof from them. ¹⁸ For they who are such, do not serve our Lord Jesus Messiah, but their own belly: and by bland speeches and good wishes, they beguile the hearts of the simple.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it. ¹¹ For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours:

¹ Let us be so accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful.

⁹ But I suppose, that God hath placed us legates the last, as for death; since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools, on account of Messiah; but ye are wise in Messiah! We are feeble; but ye are strong! Ye are lauded, we are contemned. ¹¹ Unto this hour, we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no permanent home: ¹² and we toil, working with our own hands: they defame us, and we bless: they persecute us, and we endure it: ¹³ they revile us, and we entreat them: we are as the filth of the world, and the expiation for all men, up to this time.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he might bring to your recollection my ways in Messiah, agreeably to what I teach in all the churches.

¹³ Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for whoredom, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body.

¹⁴ For the husband who believeth not, is sanctified by the wife that believeth; and the wife who believeth not, is sanctified by the husband that believeth: otherwise their children would be impure; but now are they pure.

²⁸ But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not. And if a maiden is given to a husband, she sinneth not. But they who are such, will have trouble in the body: but I am forbearing to you.

³⁶ But if any one thinketh that there is reproach, on account of his maiden daughter, because she hath passed her time, and he hath not presented her to a husband, and it be fitting that he present her; let him do what he desireth, he sinneth not; let her be married. ³⁷ But he who hath firmly determined in his own mind, and nothing compelleth him, and he can act his own pleasure, and he so judgeth in his heart, that he keep his maiden daughter, he doeth commendably. ³⁸ And therefore, he who presenteth his maiden daughter, doeth commendably; and he who presenteth not his maiden daughter, doeth very commendably. ³⁹ A woman, while her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband sleepeth in death, she is free to marry whom she pleaseth, yet only in the Lord.

⁵ For although there are what are called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,) ⁶ yet to us, on our part, there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we also by him.

⁸ But food doth not bring us near to God; for if we eat, we do not abound; and if we eat not, we are not in want.

²² I was with the weak, as weak, that I might gain the weak: I was all things to all men, that I might vivify every one.

²⁷ but I subdue my body, and reduce it to servitude; lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a reprobate.

²⁰ But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. And I would not, that ye should be associates of demons.

²³ Every thing is in my power; but every thing is not profitable. Every thing is in my power; but every thing doth not edify.

²⁵ Whatever is sold in the flesh-market, eat ye, without an inquiry on account of conscience:

³⁰ If I by grace partake, why am I reproached for that, for which I give thanks? ³¹ If therefore ye eat, or if ye drink, or if ye do any thing, do all things for the glory of God.

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

¹¹ But all these, worketh that one Spirit; and he distributeth to every one as he pleaseth.

³ But he that prophesieth, speaketh unto men, for edification, and exhortation, and consolation.

⁶ And now, my brethren, if I should come among you, and speak to you in tongues, what should I profit you; unless I should speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?

²⁶ I therefore say to you my brethren, that when ye assemble, whoever of you hath a psalm, let him speak; and whoever hath a doctrine, and whoever hath a revelation, and whoever hath a tongue, and whoever hath an interpretation. Let them all be for edification.

¹⁰ And if Timothy come to you, see that he may be without fear among you; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I do. ¹¹ Therefore, let no one despise him; but conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren.

¹⁵ I beseech you, my brethren, concerning the household of Stephanas; (for ye know, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to ministering to the saints;)

⁶ who hath fitted us to be ministers of the new Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.

⁸ And in every thing we are oppressed, but not suffocated; we are corrected, but not condemned; ⁹ we are persecuted, but not forsaken; we are prostrated, but perish not. ¹⁰ For we bear in our body, at all times, the dying of Jesus; that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body.

¹⁴ knowing that he, who resuscitated our Lord Jesus, will also resuscitate us by Jesus, and will receive us, with you, to himself.

³ Give ye no occasion of offence to any one in any thing, that there may be no reproach on our ministry. ⁴ But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses,

⁴ But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses,

⁴ But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses, ⁵ in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting;

⁵ in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting; ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by benignity, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,

⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by benignity, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, ⁷ by the speaking of truth, by the energy of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left;

⁷ by the speaking of truth, by the energy of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left; ⁸ amid honor and dishonor, amid praise and contumely; as deceivers, and yet true;

⁸ amid honor and dishonor, amid praise and contumely; as deceivers, and yet true; ⁹ as not known, and yet we are well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastised, yet not killed;

⁹ as not known, and yet we are well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastised, yet not killed; ¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as indigent, yet enriching many; as possessing nothing, yet having all things.

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as indigent, yet enriching many; as possessing nothing, yet having all things. ¹¹ O ye Corinthians, our mouth is opened towards you, and our heart expanded. ¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. ¹³ I speak as to my children, Pay me the debt which ye owe, and expand your love towards me. ¹⁴ And be ye not yoke-fellows with them that believe not: for what fellowship hath righteousness with iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? ¹⁵ or what concord hath the Messiah with Satan? or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? 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;

⁵ And not only as we had expected, but they first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

³ But I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from simplicity towards the Messiah.

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.

²³ If they are ministers of the Messiah, (in defect of understanding, I say it,) I am superior to them: in toils more than they, in stripes more than they, in bonds more than they, in deaths many times. ²⁴ By the Jews, five times was I scourged, each time with forty stripes save one. ²⁵ Three times was I beaten with rods: at one time I was stoned: three times I was in shipwreck, by day and by night; I have been in the sea, without a ship. ²⁶ In journeyings many, in peril by rivers, in peril by robbers, in peril from my kindred, in peril from Gentiles: I have been in peril in cities; I have been in peril in the desert, in peril in the sea, in peril from false brethren. ²⁷ In toil and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and nakedness:

¹⁴ and that we might not be children, agitated and turned about by every wind of the crafty doctrines of men who plot to seduce by their subtilty: ¹⁵ but that we might be established in our love; and that every thing in us might progress in the Messiah, who is the head: ¹⁶ and from him it is, the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love.

¹⁹ They have cut off their hope, and have given themselves over to lasciviousness, and to the practice of all uncleanness in their greediness.

²¹ And that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing, lo, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in our Lord, will acquaint you;

¹⁵ that ye may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of God, who are resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that ye may appear among them as luminaries in the world; ¹⁶ so that ye may be to them in place of life; for my glory in the day of the Messiah, that I may not have run in vain or toiled for naught.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, that we may attain to this, let us proceed on in one path, and with one consent.

⁸ Finally, my brethren, what things are true, and what things are decorous, and what things are right, and what things are pure, and what things are lovely, and what things are commendable, and deeds of praise and approbation, on these be your thoughts.

¹⁶ Let no one therefore disquiet you about food and drink, or about the distinctions of festivals, and new moons, and sabbaths;

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, ¹⁹ and holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given of God. ²⁰ For if ye are dead with the Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why are ye judged as if ye were living in the world? ²¹ But, touch thou not, and taste thou not, and handle thou not: ²² for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men. ²³ And they seem to have a kind of wisdom, in a show of humility, and of the fear of God, and of not sparing the body; not in any thing of excellence, but in things subservient to the body.

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. ¹⁷ And whatever ye do in word or act, do it in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and give thanksgiving through him to God the Father.

⁷ And what is occurrent with me, will Tychicus make known to you; who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister, and our fellow-servant in the Lord:

¹⁷ And say to Archippus: Be attentive to the ministry which thou hast received in our Lord, that thou fulfill it.

⁶ And ye became imitators of us, and of our Lord, in that ye received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁰ Ye are witnesses, and God also, how we preached to you the gospel of God, purely, and uprightly, and were blameless towards all them that believe:

¹⁶ and they forbid us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may have life; to fill up their sins at all times. And wrath cometh on them to the uttermost.

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? ²⁰ For ye are our glory, and our joy.

² and to send to you Timothy our brother, a servant of God, and our assistant in the announcement of the Messiah; that he might strengthen you, and inquire of you respecting your faith:

¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit.

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. ¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith in the truth. ¹⁴ For unto these it was, that God called you by our preaching; that ye might be the glory to our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁷ For ye know how ye ought to imitate us, who did not walk wickedly among you. ⁸ Neither did we eat bread gratuitously from any of you; but, with toil and weariness, we labored by night and by day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you. ⁹ It was not because we have no authority, but that we might give you an example in ourselves, that ye might imitate us.

³ When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines; ⁴ and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.

¹⁰ and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,

¹⁴ And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah. 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.

¹⁸ This injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,

⁴ who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,

¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.

¹⁴ These things I write to thee, while hoping soon to come to thee; ¹⁵ but if I should delay, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God. The pillar and the foundation of the truth,

¹⁵ but if I should delay, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God. The pillar and the foundation of the truth, 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.

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. ⁴ Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness;

⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught.

¹⁶ Be attentive to thyself, and to thy teaching; and persevere in them. For in doing this, thou wilt procure life to thyself and to them who hear thee.

⁷ These things enjoin thou on them, that they may be blameless.

²² Lay not the hand hastily on any man; and participate not in the sins of others; keep thyself pure.

² And let them who have believing masters, not treat them with disrespect, because they are their brethren; but let them be more obedient, because they are believers and beloved, in whose service they enjoy quietness. These things teach thou, and request of them. ³ But if there be any one, who teacheth a different doctrine, and doth not accede to the salutary words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God,

⁶ But great is our gain, which is the fear of God, with the use of our competence.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, and rectitude, and faith, and love, and patience, and humility.

¹⁷ Charge the rich of this world, that they be not uplifted in their minds; and that they confide not in riches, in which is no security; but in the living God, who giveth us all things abundantly for our comfort:

²⁰ O Timothy, be careful of that which is committed to thee; and shun vain words, and the oppositions of false science:

⁶ Wherefore I remind thee, that thou excite the gift of God, that is in thee by the imposition of my hands.

⁷ Consider what I say. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.

⁹ in which I suffer evils unto bonds, as if an evil-doer: but the word of God is not in bonds. ¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory.

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

¹⁴ Of these things admonish thou them and charge them, before our Lord, that they dispute not, with unprofitable words, to the subversion of those who hear them. ¹⁵ And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth.

¹⁵ And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth.

¹⁵ And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth. ¹⁶ Avoid vain discourses, in which there is no profit; for they very much add to the wickedness of those occupied with them.

¹⁶ Avoid vain discourses, in which there is no profit; for they very much add to the wickedness of those occupied with them. ¹⁷ And their discourse, like an eating cancer, will lay hold upon many. And one of these is Hymeneus, and another Philetus;

²² Fly from all the lusts of youth; and follow after righteousness, and faith, and love, and peace, with them that invoke our Lord with a pure heart. ²³ Avoid those foolish discussions which afford no instruction; for thou knowest, that they generate contests.

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.

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, ⁷ who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth: men whose mind is corrupted, and they reprobates from the faith. ⁹ But they will not make progress, for their infatuation will be understood by every one, as theirs also was understood. ¹⁰ But thou hast followed after my doctrine, and my manner of life, and my aims, and my faith, and my long suffering, and my love, and my patience,

¹⁰ But thou hast followed after my doctrine, and my manner of life, and my aims, and my faith, and my long suffering, and my love, and my patience, ¹¹ and my persecution, and my sufferings. And thou knowest what I endured at Antioch, and at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecution I endured: and from all these my Lord delivered me. ¹² And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted.

¹² And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted. ¹³ But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived. ¹⁴ But continue thou in the things thou hast learned and been assured of; for thou knowest from whom thou learnedst;

¹⁴ But continue thou in the things thou hast learned and been assured of; for thou knowest from whom thou learnedst; ¹⁵ because from thy childhood, thou wast taught the holy books, which can make thee wise unto life, by faith in Jesus the Messiah. ¹⁶ All scripture that was written by the Spirit, is profitable for instruction, and for confutation, and for correction, and for erudition in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may become perfect, and complete for every good work.

² Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness. 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.

⁹ and studious of the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able by his wholesome teaching both to console, and to rebuke them that are contentious.

¹⁴ and may not throw themselves into Jewish fables, and into the precepts of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience.

¹ But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.

⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,

⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful, ⁸ such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against us. ⁹ Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer; ¹⁰ but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things.

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,

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. ¹⁵ These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.

⁸ Faithful is the word: and in these things, I would have thee also establish them; so that they, who have believed in God, may be careful to cultivate good works: these are the things, which are good, and profitable to men. ⁹ But foolish questions, and stories of genealogies, and the disputes and contests of the scribes, avoid: for there is no profit in them, and they are vain.

¹⁹ I, Paul, have written it with my own hand, I will repay: not to say to thee, that to me thou owest thy ownself.

¹⁴ But strong food belongeth to the mature who, being investigators, have trained their faculties to discriminate good and evil.

⁹ and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them: ¹⁰ but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation.

²⁶ and he esteemed the reproach of the Messiah a greater treasure than the hoarded riches of Egypt; for he looked upon the recompense of reward.

¹⁵ And be careful, lest any be found among you destitute of the grace of God; or lest some root of bitterness shoot forth germs, and trouble you; and thereby many be defiled:

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers, God will judge.

⁹ Be not led away by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked in them.

¹³ Therefore, let us also go forth to him, without the camp, clothed with his reproach:

¹³ Who is wise and instructed among you? Let him show his works in praiseworthy actions, with modest wisdom.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above, is pure, and full of peace, and mild, and submissive, and full of compassion and of good fruits, and without partiality, and without respect of persons.

²⁰ let him know, that he who turneth the sinner from the error of his way, will resuscitate his soul from death, and will cover the multitude of his sins.

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,

² And be like infant children; and crave the word, as being the pure spiritual milk by which ye are nourished up to life;

⁹ And be ye compassionate to strangers, without murmuring. ¹⁰ And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you. ¹⁵ Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer.

³ not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them:

³ as the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence: 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. ⁵ And, while ye apply all diligence in the matter, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God; ⁷ and to the fear of God, sympathy with the brotherhood; and to sympathy with the brotherhood, love. ⁸ For, while these are found in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

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. ¹³ And it seemeth right to me, so long as I am in this body, to excite you by monition; ¹⁴ since I know, that the demise of my body is speedy, as also my Lord Jesus the Messiah hath showed me. ¹⁵ And I am anxious, that, after my departure, ye too may have it always with you to make mention of these things.

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.

¹ This second epistle, my beloved, I now write to you; in both of which I stir up your honest mind by admonition: ² that ye may be mindful of the words which were formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the injunction of our Lord and Redeemer by the hand of the legates: ³ knowing this previously, that there will come in the last days scoffers, who will scoff, walking according to their own lusts;

² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.

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.

²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal.

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.

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

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.

⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward. 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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ because they told you, that in the end of the times there would be scoffers, going after wickedness, according to their lusts.

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.

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.

²⁹ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

⁶ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

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. ¹³ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

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. ²² He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

² And he opened the pit of the abyss; and smoke issued from the pit, like the smoke of a furnace that is in blast; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. ³ And out of the smoke, came locusts upon the earth: and power was given them, like that which scorpions have on the earth. ⁴ And it was commanded them, that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree; but only the persons, who had not the seal of God upon their foreheads. ⁵ And it was given them, that they should not kill them, but should torment them five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a person. ⁶ And in those days, men will desire death, and will not find it; and they will long to die, and death will fly from them. ⁷ And the appearance of the locusts was this; they were like the appearance of horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, was, as it were a coronet, resembling gold; and their faces were like the faces of men. ⁸ And they had hair, like the hair of women: and their teeth were like those of lions. ⁹ And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings, was like the sound of the chariots of many horses rushing into battle. ¹⁰ And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and with their tails they had the power of hurting men five months. ¹¹ And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss; and his name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon; and in Greek, his name is Apollyon.

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.

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.

¹⁴ (for they are the spirits of demons, who work prodigies;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty.

² And he cried with a strong voice, saying: Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great: and hath become a cavern of demons, and the home of every unclean spirit, and the home of every unclean and hateful bird and the home of every unclean and hateful beast of prey.

²³ And the light of a candle, shall not be seen in thee; and the voice of a bridegroom and bride, shall no more be heard in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, because all nations were seduced by thy sorceries.

²⁰ And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire, which burneth with sulphur.

² And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Deceiver and Satan, who seduced the whole habitable world: and he bound him a thousand years. 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.

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.

¹⁰ And the Accuser who seduced them, was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur, where also were the beast of prey and the false prophet: and they shall be tormented, day and night, for ever and ever.
