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, ²⁰ which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,

⁷ that he might show to the coming ages the magnitude of the riches of his grace, and his benignity towards us in Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁰ so that, by means of the church, the manifold wisdom of God might become known to the principalities and powers that are in heaven:

¹⁴ And I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, ¹⁵ from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named; ¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man ¹⁷ the Messiah may dwell by faith, and in your hearts by love, while your root and your foundation waxeth strong; ¹⁸ and that ye may be able to explore, with all the saints, what is the height and depth, and length and breadth, ¹⁹ and may know the greatness of the Messiah's love; and that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God. ²⁰ Now to him who is able, by his almighty power, to do for us even more than we ask or think, according to his power that worketh in us; ²¹ to him be glory, in his church, by Jesus the Messiah, in all generations, for ever and ever.

¹ I therefore, a prisoner in our Lord, beseech of you, that ye walk, (as it becometh the calling wherewith ye are called,)

²⁰ And give thanks to God the Father, at all times, for all men, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁶ Because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun the good works in you, will accomplish them until the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁷ For thus it is right for me to think of you all, because ye are permanently in my heart, and because, both in my bonds and in the vindication of the truth of the gospel, ye are my associates in grace.

⁹ And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and In all spiritual understanding:

⁹ And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and In all spiritual understanding: ¹⁰ so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah, ¹¹ and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus the Messiah, to the praise and glory of God.

²⁸ And in nothing be ye startled, by those who rise up against us; which is an indication of their destruction, and of life for you.

⁹ Wherefore, also, God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names; ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus the Messiah is the Lord, to the glory of God his Father.

¹³ For God is operating in you, both to purpose, and also to perform that which ye desire.

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;

¹⁴ and I run straight for the goal, that I may obtain the prize of victory of the call of God from on high, by Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their glory their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth.

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; ¹⁰ that ye may walk as is right, and may please God with all good works, and may yield fruits, and grow in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ and may be strengthened with all strength, according to the greatness of his glory, in all patience and long suffering; ¹² and may, with joy, give thanks to God the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light;

¹² and may, with joy, give thanks to God the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light; ¹³ and hath rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son;

¹⁶ and by him was created every thing that is in heaven and on earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or sovereignties; every thing was through him, and was created by him:

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.

²⁵ But the delinquent will receive a recompense, according to the delinquency; and there is no respect of persons.

¹ I PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father and in our Lord Jesus the Messiah: Grace be with you, and peace. ² We give thanks to God at all times, on account of you all, and remember you continually in our prayers:

² We give thanks to God at all times, on account of you all, and remember you continually in our prayers: ³ and we call to mind before God the Father the works of your faith, and the toil of your love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

³ and we call to mind before God the Father the works of your faith, and the toil of your love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

³ and we call to mind before God the Father the works of your faith, and the toil of your love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁴ For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of God. ⁵ For our preaching among you, was not in words only; but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in genuine persuasion. Ye also know, how we were among you for your sakes.

⁵ For our preaching among you, was not in words only; but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in genuine persuasion. Ye also know, how we were among you for your sakes. 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. ⁷ And ye were a pattern for all the believers who are in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For from you the word of our Lord sounded forth; and not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place, your faith in God is heard of; so that we have no need to say any thing concerning you. 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; ¹⁰ while ye wait for his Son from heaven, that Jesus whom he raised from the dead, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

¹ And ye yourselves, my brethren, know our entrance among you, that it was not in vain:

¹² and we charged you, to walk as it becometh God, who hath called you to his kingdom and his glory. 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.

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. ¹⁴ For ye, my brethren, became assimilated to the churches of God in Judaea, the persons who are in Jesus the Messiah; in that ye so suffered, even ye from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews,

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?

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: ³ lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto. ⁴ For also when we were with you, we forewarned you, that we were to be afflicted; as ye know did occur. ⁵ Therefore also I could not be quiet, until I sent to learn your faith; lest the Tempter should have tempted you, and our labor have been in vain. ⁶ But now, since Timothy hath come to us from among you, and hath informed us respecting your faith and your love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us at all times, and that ye desire to see us, even as we to see you;

⁶ But now, since Timothy hath come to us from among you, and hath informed us respecting your faith and your love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us at all times, and that ye desire to see us, even as we to see you; ⁷ therefore we are comforted in you, my brethren, amid all our straits and afflictions, on account of your faith. ⁸ And now, we live, if ye stand fast in our Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we are joyful on your account;

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we are joyful on your account; ¹⁰ unless it be, that we the more supplicate before God, by night and by day, that we may see your faces, and may perfect what is lacking in your faith? ¹¹ And may God our Father, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, direct our way unto you; ¹² and increase and enlarge your love towards one another, and towards all men, even as we love you;

¹² and increase and enlarge your love towards one another, and towards all men, even as we love you; 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.

⁵ and not in the concupiscence of lust, like the rest of the Gentiles who know not God:

⁹ Now concerning love to the brethren, ye need not that I should write to you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. ¹⁰ Ye likewise do so, to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but I entreat you, my brethren, to be exuberant:

¹⁶ Because our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise; ¹⁷ and then, we who survive and are alive shall be caught up together with them to the clouds, to meet our Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with our Lord.

³ While they will be saying, Peace and quietness, then suddenly destruction will burst upon them, as distress upon a child-bearer, and they will not escape.

⁵ for a demonstration of the righteous judgment of God; that ye may be worthy of his kingdom, on account of which ye suffer. ⁶ And since it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense trouble to them that trouble you: ⁷ and you, who are the troubled, he will vivify, with us, at the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah from heaven, with the host of his angels;

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to display his wonders in his faithful ones; for our testimony concerning you, will be believed, in that day. ¹¹ Therefore we pray for you, at all times; that God would make you worthy of your calling, and would fill you with all readiness for good deeds, and with the works of faith by power; ¹² so that the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, may be glorified in you, (and) ye also in him; according to the grace of God, and of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

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.

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.

⁵ And may our Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to a patient waiting for the Messiah.

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.

¹⁸ May our Lord grant him, that he may find mercy with our Lord, in that day. And how he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.

¹² and, if we shall have suffered, we shall also reign with him. But if we shall have rejected him, he will reject us.

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.

¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men;

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

⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed, 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, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver: ⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

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,

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this Legate and High Priest of our profession, Jesus the Messiah:

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest while there is a firm promise of entering into his rest, any among you should be found coming short of entering.

⁹ Therefore it is established, that the people of God are to have a sabbath.

¹¹ Let us, therefore, strive to enter into that rest; lest we fall short, after the manner of them who believed not.

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

¹⁵ And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.

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.

²⁷ but the fearful judgment impendeth, and the zeal of fire that consumeth the adversaries.

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.

³² Therefore, recollect ye the former days, those in which ye received baptism, and endured a great conflict of sufferings, with reproach and affliction; ³³ and ye were a gazing stock, and also were the associates of persons who endured these things:

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

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed, and departed to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance: and he departed, while he knew not whither he was going.

¹ Therefore let us also, who have all these witnesses surrounding us like clouds, cast from us all encumbrances, and sin, which is always prepared for us; and let us run with patience the race that is appointed for us. ² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God.

² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Behold, therefore, how much he suffered from sinners, from them who are adversaries of their own soul, that ye may not be discouraged, nor your soul become remiss.

²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

³ For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience. ⁴ And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing.

⁷ But, my brethren, be ye patient until the advent of the Lord; like the husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruits of his ground, and is patient as to them, until he receive the early and the latter rain. ⁸ So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh

¹¹ For lo, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; and ye have seen the result which the Lord wrought for him: for the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

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.

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: ⁸ whom having not seen, ye love; and in the faith of whom ye rejoice, with joy that is glorious and ineffable,

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;

⁹ But ye are an elect race, officiating as priests of the kingdom; a holy people, a redeemed congregation; that ye should proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness to his precious light:

⁶ just as Sarah was subject to Abraham, and called him, My lord: whose daughters ye are, by good works, while ye are not terrified by any fear.

²² who is taken up to heaven, and is on the right hand of God, and angels, and authorities, and powers, are subject to him.

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.

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. ¹⁶ But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this name. ¹⁷ For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

¹⁷ For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!

¹⁰ Now it is the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jesus the Messiah, that hath given us, while we sustain these light afflictions, to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established by him for ever:

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;

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. 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.

¹³ And it seemeth right to me, so long as I am in this body, to excite you by monition;

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest, persons for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.

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.

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?

¹⁸ But be ye growing in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, and of God the Father: whose is the glory, now, and always, and to the days of eternity. Amen.

¹³ raging waves of the sea, which, by their foam, manifest their confusion; shootingstars, for which is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. ¹⁴ And of them also prophesied Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, when he said: Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints; ¹⁵ to execute judgment upon all; and to convict all the wicked, because of all the deeds they have wickedly committed; and because of all the hard speeches, which they, ungodly sinners, have uttered.

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;

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.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

¹⁰ and thou hast made them kings and priests to our God; and they reign on the earth.

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?

¹⁶ and they said to the mountains and to the clefts, Fall over us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ For the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne and the Elders and the four Animals; and they fell upon their faces before his throne, and worshipped God, ¹² saying: Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God, for ever and ever: Amen.

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. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night, in his temple; and he who sitteth on the throne, will protect them: ¹⁶ they will not hunger, nor thirst any more; nor will the sun fall on them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, will feed them; and will lead them to fountains of living water; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

¹⁸ And the nations were angry; and thy anger is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged: and that thou shouldst give a reward to thy servants, the prophets, and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and that thou shouldst destroy them who destroyed the earth.

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured undiluted into the cup of his indignation, and shall be tormented with fire and sulphur, before the holy angels, and before the throne. 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. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying: Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, henceforth: yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their toils; for their deeds do accompany them.

⁴ Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? Because thou only art holy and just: Because all nations shall come and worship before thee, since thy righteousnesses have been revealed.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters say: Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, and art holy; because thou hast done this judgment. ⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets; and thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it. ⁷ And I heard one from the altar say: Yes, Lord God Almighty: true and righteous is thy judgment.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye Angels, and Legates, and Prophets; because God judgeth your cause with her.

²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all those that have been slain on the earth.

² for, true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged that great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her whoredom; and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

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. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sitteth thereon; from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and this their place was not found.

¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, namely, this lake of fire.

¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, namely, this lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

⁴ And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor shall pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.

⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

⁶ And he said to me: These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirit of the prophets, hath sent me, his angel, to show unto his servants the things that must soon occur.

⁹ And he said to me: See, thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that observe the words of this book. Worship God.

¹⁵ Without will be dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood. ¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things before the churches. I am the root and offspring of David: like the splendid star of the morning.
