But he said to them: Unless I see in his hands the places of the nails, and put my fingers into them, and extend my hand to his side, I will not believe. ²⁶ And after eight days, the disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: and Jesus came, while the doors were closed, stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be with you.

²⁸ And Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God! ²⁹ Jesus said to him: Now, when thou hast seen me, thou believest: blessed are they, who have not seen me, yet believe. ³⁰ And many other signs did Jesus before his disciples, which are not written in this book. ³¹ But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that when ye believe, ye may have life eternal by his name.

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.

³⁴ And ye yourselves, know, that these hands ministered to my wants, and to them that were with me. 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.

¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the girdle of Paul's loins, and bound his own feet and hands, and said: Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man, who owns this girdle; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹ To him who is feeble in the faith, reach forth the hand. And be not divided in your thoughts.

¹ We then who are strong, ought to bear the infirmity of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

¹ And I, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah. ² I gave you milk, and did not give you solid food: for ye were not then able to receive it; and even now, ye are not able. ³ For ye are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are ye not carnal, and walking in the flesh?

⁷ Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.

⁵ Therefore pronounce not judgments before the time, or until the Lord come, who will pour light upon the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the thoughts of men's hearts: and then will each one have due praise from God.

¹¹ And by thy knowledge, he who is feeble, and on account of whom the Messiah died, will perish.

⁶ Or I only, and Barnabas, have we no right to forbear labor?

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent.

⁴⁷ The first man was of dust from the earth; the second man was the Lord from heaven.

²¹ The salutation in the handwriting of myself, Paul. ²² Whoever loveth not our Lord Jesus the Messiah, let him be accursed: our Lord cometh.

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.

⁴ And in much affliction, and in anguish of heart, I wrote those things to you, with many tears; not that ye might have sorrow, but that ye might know the exceeding love I have for you. ⁵ And if one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me only, but,-that the declaration may not bear too hard on you-in a measure, all of you. ⁶ And sufficient for him, is this rebuke proceeding from many: ⁷ so that, on the other hand, ye ought to forgive him and console him; lest he who is such a man, should be swallowed up with excessive grief.

⁴ For while we are here in this house, we groan under its burden; yet ye desire, not to throw it off; but to be clothed over it, so that its mortality may be absorbed in life.

¹⁴ For the love of the Messiah constraineth us to reason thus: One died for all; therefore are all dead.

¹⁴ For the love of the Messiah constraineth us to reason thus: One died for all; therefore are all dead. ¹⁵ And he died for all, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose again.

⁸ And although I made you sad by the epistle, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I see that that epistle, though for a time it made you sad, ⁹ yet it procured me joy, not because ye had sorrow, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance; for ye sorrowed in godly sorrow; so that ye received no detriment from us. ¹⁰ For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death. ¹¹ For behold this same thing, that ye were distressed on account of God, what solicitude it wrought in you, and apologizing and indignation, and fear, and love, and zeal, and revenge? And in all things ye have shown, that ye are now pure in that matter.

⁸ I do not actually command you, but by the promptitude of your fellow disciples, I would test the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the goodness of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who when he was rich, for your sakes became poor, that by his poverty ye might be made rich.

⁶ For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love.

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:

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed for the day of redemption.

²⁴ Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jesus the Messiah without corruptness. Amen.

²⁰ So that I hope and expect, that I shall in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

¹¹ Yet I say this, not because I was in want; for I have learned to make that satisfy me, which I have. ¹² I know how to be depressed, and I also know how to abound in every thing; and in all things am I exercised, both in fullness and in famine, in abundance and in penury. ¹³ I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengtheneth me.

¹⁹ And may God supply all your necessity, according to his riches, in the glory of Jesus the Messiah.

⁹ For ye recollect, brethren, that we labored and toiled, working with our own hands, by night and by day, that we might not be chargeable to any one of you.

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.

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.

⁶ But as the scripture testifieth, and saith: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou attendest to him? ⁷ Thou hast depressed him somewhat lower than the angels: glory and honor hast thou put on his head; and thou hast invested him with authority over the work of thy hand. ⁸ And all things hast thou subjected under his feet. And in this subjecting of all things to him, he omitted nothing, which he did not subject. But now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, tasted death for all men.

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.

³² What more shall I say? For I have little time to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Sampson, and of Jephtha, and of David, and of Samuel, and of the other prophets:

¹² Wherefore, strengthen ye your relaxed hands, and your tottering knees: ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that the limb which is lame may not be wrenched, but may be healed.

⁵ Let not your mind love money; but let what ye have, satisfy you. For the Lord himself hath said, I will never leave thee, nor slacken the hand towards thee.

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,

¹ My brethren, hold ye not the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, with a respect to persons.

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.

⁶ wherein ye will rejoice for ever, notwithstanding ye at the present time are pressed a little, by the various trials that pass over you;

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

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

²⁵ For ye, once went astray, like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Curator of your souls.

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. ¹² My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation. ¹³ But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory. 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.

¹ And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you: ² Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart;

² Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart; ³ not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them: ⁴ that when the chief shepherd shall be revealed, ye may receive from him a crown of glory that fadeth not.

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.

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 This second epistle, my beloved, I now write to you; in both of which I stir up your honest mind by admonition:

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.

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.

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.

¹⁶ By this we know his love towards us, because he gave up his life for us: and we also ought to give up our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ But whoever hath worldly possessions, and seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how is the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in acts and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this, we recognize that we are of the truth; and, before he shall come, we make our hearts confident. ²⁰ But if our heart condemneth us, how much greater is God than our heart, and knowing all things? ²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemneth us not, we have open countenances before God. ²² And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do acceptable things before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us. 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.

¹⁹ Let us, therefore, love God; because he hath first loved us.

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.

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 they went forth in behalf of his name, taking nothing of the Gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such persons, that we may be aiders of the truth.

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.

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.

²³ And her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each of you according to your works.

²⁵ but, what ye have, hold fast until I come.

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

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be emulous therefore, and repent.

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.

⁷ And, lo, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

²⁰ He who testifieth these things, saith: Yes, I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
