⁷ For there is not one of us, who liveth for himself: and there is not one, who dieth for himself. ⁸ Because, if we live, to our Lord it is we live; or if we die, to our Lord it is we die. Whether we live, therefore, or whether we die, we are our Lord's.

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercies upon them, as it is written: I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing psalms. ¹⁰ And again he said: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again he said: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye nations. 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.

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. ¹⁴ Now I am persuaded, my Brethren, even I, concerning you; that ye too are full of goodness, and are replenished with all knowledge, and are able also to instruct others. ¹⁵ Yet I have written rather boldly to you, my Brethren, that I might put you in remembrance; because of the grace which is given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Jesus Messiah among the Gentiles, and should subserve the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have therefore a glorying in Jesus Messiah, before God. ¹⁸ Yet I presume not to speak of any thing done for the obedience of the Gentiles, which Messiah hath not wrought by me, in word and in deeds, ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem I have made a circuit quite to Illyricum, and have fulfilled the announcement of the Messiah;

² that ye may receive her in our Lord, as is just for saints; and that ye may assist her, in whatever thing she may ask of you: for she also hath been assistant to many, and to me also.

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.

¹⁷ For we are not like others, who dilute the words of God; but as of the truth, and as of God, we speak in the Messiah before God.

² But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.

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

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

¹³ For if we are extravagant, it is for God: and if we are discreet, it is for you. 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.

¹ And as aiders we entreat of you, that the grace of God which ye have received, may not be ineffectual in you.

¹ Seeing, therefore, we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit; and let us work righteousness, in the fear of God.

⁸ I do not actually command you, but by the promptitude of your fellow disciples, I would test the sincerity of your love.

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

²⁰ And henceforth it is no more I who live, but the Messiah liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ²¹ I do not spurn the grace of God. For if righteousness is by means of the law, the Messiah died in vain.

¹³ But the Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, and hath been a curse for us; (for it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hanged on a tree;)

²³ Against these there standeth no law. ²⁴ And they who are of the Messiah, have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its cravings.

⁴ according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;

⁶ that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One; ⁷ by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,

² in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience:

⁵ when we were dead in our sins, quickened us with the Messiah, and rescued us by his grace;

⁸ For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God:

¹⁰ For we are his creation; who are created in Jesus the Messiah, for good works, which God hath before prepared for us to walk in.

⁶ that the Gentiles should be sharers. of his inheritance, and partakers of his body, and of the promise which is given in him by the gospel; ⁷ of which I have been a minister, according to the gift of the goodness of God, which was imparted to me by the operation of his power: ⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

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

²² But ye have learned, that ye should lay aside your former practices, the old man that is corrupted with the lusts of error; ²³ and should be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴ and should put on the new man, that is created by God in righteousness and in the holiness of truth. ²⁵ Wherefore, put away from you lying, and speak ye the truth each with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.

² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor. ³ But whoredom, and all impurity, and avarice let them not be at all heard of among you, as it becometh the saints;

²² Wives, be ye submissive to your husbands, as to our Lord. ²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife, even as the Messiah is the head of the church; and he is the vivifier of the body.

²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife, even as the Messiah is the head of the church; and he is the vivifier of the body. ²⁴ And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things.

²⁴ And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things.

²⁴ And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah loved his church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water, and by the word; ²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish.

³³ Nevertheless, let each of you severally so love his wife, even as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

⁵ Servants, be obedient to your masters after the flesh, with fear, and with trepidation, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Messiah. ⁶ Not in the sight of the eye, as if ye were pleasing men; but as the servants of the Messiah, who are doing the will of God. ⁷ And serve them with your whole heart, in love, as if serving our Lord and not men; ⁸ knowing that whatever good thing a man may do, the same will be recompensed to him by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a free man.

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

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

²⁷ Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel.

¹⁴ Do all things without murmuring, and without altercation; 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.

²⁰ But our concern is with heaven; and from thence we expect our Vivifier, our Lord, Jesus the Messiah; ²¹ who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.

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.

⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye heard before in the word of truth of the gospel; ⁶ which is announced to you, as also to all the world; and which groweth and yieldeth fruits, as it doth also among you from the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in reality:

²² to you, he hath now given peace, by the body of his flesh, and by his death; that he might establish you in his presence, holy, without blemish, and without offence; ²³ provided ye continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister.

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which mystery is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

⁴ And when the Messiah, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also be manifested with him in glory. ⁵ Mortify therefore your members that are on the earth; whoredom, impurity, and the passions, and evil concupiscence, and avarice which is idolatry. ⁶ For on account of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. ⁷ And in these things ye also formerly walked, when ye lived in them. ⁸ But now, put away from you all these, wrath, anger, malice, reviling, filthy talking: ⁹ and lie not one to another; but put off the old man, with all his practices;

¹⁸ Wives, be ye subject to your husbands, as is right in the Messiah.

²² Servants, obey in all things your bodily masters; not in the sight of the eye only, as those who please men, but with a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord. ²³ And whatever ye do, do it with your whole soul, as unto our Lord, and not as to men: ²⁴ and know ye, that from our Lord ye will receive a recompense as the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord the Messiah. ²⁵ But the delinquent will receive a recompense, according to the delinquency; and there is no respect of persons.

⁷ For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification.

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.

⁶ Let us not therefore sleep, like others; but let us be vigilant and considerate.

⁸ But let us who are children of the day, be wakeful in mind, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and take the helmet of the hope of life.

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.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his grace,

⁹ It was not because we have no authority, but that we might give you an example in ourselves, that ye might imitate us.

¹⁴ And if any one hearkeneth not to these my words in this epistle, separate that man from you, and have no intimacy with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;

⁵ Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.

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.

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,

⁹ So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes; ¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.

¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God. ¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission: ¹² for I do not allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness.

² And an elder ought to be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive;

⁴ and one that guideth well his own house, and holdeth his children in subjection with all purity.

⁸ And so also the deacons should be pure, and not speak double, nor incline to much wine, nor love base gains;

¹¹ So also should the wives be chaste and of vigilant minds; and they should be faithful in all things; and they should not be slanderers.

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.

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.

¹ Chide not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men, as thy brothers; ² and the elder women, as mothers; and the younger women, as thy sisters, with all purity.

⁵ Now she who is truly a widow, and solitary, her hope is in God; and she persevereth in prayers, and in supplications, by night and by day: ⁶ But she who followeth pleasure, is dead while she liveth. ⁷ These things enjoin thou on them, that they may be blameless. ⁸ But if any one careth not for them who are his own, and especially for them who are of the household of faith, he hath rejected the faith, and is worse than the unbelievers. ⁹ Therefore elect thou the widow, who is not less than sixty years old, and who hath been the wife of one man, ¹⁰ and hath a reputation for good works; if she have trained up children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have walked in every good work.

¹⁰ and hath a reputation for good works; if she have trained up children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have walked in every good work. ¹¹ But the younger widows do thou reject; for they wax wanton against the Messiah, and desire to be married:

¹³ And they also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to talk much, and to pursue vanities, and to utter what they ought not. ¹⁴ I would therefore, that the younger women marry, and bear children, and regulate their houses; and that they give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.

¹⁴ I would therefore, that the younger women marry, and bear children, and regulate their houses; and that they give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.

¹⁷ Let the elders who conduct themselves well, be esteemed worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in doctrine.

²⁰ Those who sin before all rebuke; that the rest of the people may fear.

²³ And hereafter drink not water, but drink a little wine; on account of thy stomach, and thy continuing infirmities.

¹ Let them who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their masters in all honor; lest the name of God and his doctrine be reproached.

¹ Let them who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their masters in all honor; lest the name of God and his doctrine be reproached. 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,

¹³ I charge thee, before God, who quickeneth all, and before Jesus the Messiah who attested a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that thou keep the injunction, without stain, and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

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: ¹⁸ and that they do good works, and be rich in well-doings; and be ready to give and to communicate:

¹³ Let the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, abide with thee; with faith and love, in Jesus the Messiah.

¹² And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted.

¹ I charge thee, before God, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who is to judge the living and the dead, at the manifestation of his kingdom, ² Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness.

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.

¹⁰ For Demas hath left me; and hath loved this world and gone away to Thessalonica; Crispus to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

¹⁷ But my Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fulfilled; and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion.

² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world; ³ and in due time he hath manifested his word, by means of our announcement, which was confided to me by the command of God our Life-giver;

⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains. ⁸ But he should be a lover of strangers, and a lover of good deeds, and be sober, upright, kind-hearted, and restraining himself from evil passions; 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.

¹³ And this testimony is true. Therefore chide them sharply; that they may be sound in the faith,

⁴ making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and their children,

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

¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men; ¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, ¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed,

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. 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 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.

¹² For ye ought to be teachers, seeing ye have been long in the doctrine. But now ye need to learn again the first lines of the commencement of the oracles of God: and ye have need of milk, and not of strong food.

¹⁸ so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us; ¹⁹ which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,

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

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

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.

²⁴ And let us look on each other, for the excitement of love and good works.

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:

⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: sanctify your hearts, ye divided in mind.

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

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life,

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:

¹⁰ that life namely, about which the prophets inquired, when they were prophesying of the grace which was to be given to you. ¹¹ And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory. ¹² And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into. ¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, ¹⁴ as obedient children: and be ye not conversant again with those former lusts, with which ye lusted when without knowledge. ¹⁵ But be ye holy in all your conduct, as he is holy who hath called you. ¹⁶ Because it is written: Be ye holy, even as I am holy. ¹⁷ And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear; ¹⁸ since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;

¹⁸ since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;

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:

¹¹ My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they war against the soul. ¹² And let your behavior be decorous before all men; so that they who utter evil speeches against you, may see your good actions, and may praise God in the day of trial.

¹² And let your behavior be decorous before all men; so that they who utter evil speeches against you, may see your good actions, and may praise God in the day of trial.

¹⁵ For so is the pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God:

¹⁸ And those among you who are servants, be subject to your masters, with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh and morose. ¹⁹ For there is favor before God for them who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure sorrows that come upon them wrongfully. ²⁰ But they who endure afflictions on account of their offences, what praise have they? But if, when ye do well, they vex you, and ye endure it; then great is your praise with God. ²¹ For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps. ²² He did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth. ²³ When he was reviled, be reviled not; and he suffered and threatened not, but committed his cause to the Judge of righteousness. ²⁴ And he took away all our sins, and, in his body, lifted them to the cross; that we, when dead to sin, might live by his righteousness: for by his wounds, ye are healed. ²⁵ For ye, once went astray, like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Curator of your souls.

¹ So also ye wives, be ye subject to your husbands; that, by your pleasing behavior, ye may gain over, without difficulty, those who obey not the word, ² when they see, that ye conduct yourselves with reverence and chastity. ³ And adorn not yourselves with the external ornaments of curls of the hair, or of golden trinkets, or of costly garments. ⁴ But adorn yourselves in the hidden person of the heart, with a mild and uncorrupted spirit, an ornament that is precious before God. ⁵ For so also the holy women of old, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, and were subject to their husbands:

¹⁶ in meekness and respect, as having a good conscience; so that they who speak against you as bad men, may be ashamed, for having calumniated your good conduct in the Messiah.

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

² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God. ³ For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons. ⁴ And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness; ⁵ who must give account to God, who is to judge the living and the dead.

⁷ But the end of all things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer.

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

⁵ And ye juniors submit yourselves to your seniors; and clothe yourselves, stringently, with lowliness of mind one towards another; because God resisteth them who exalt themselves, and giveth grace to the humble.

⁵ And ye juniors submit yourselves to your seniors; and clothe yourselves, stringently, with lowliness of mind one towards another; because God resisteth them who exalt themselves, and giveth grace to the humble. ⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the powerful hand of God: and it will exalt you in due time. ⁷ And cast all your solicitude upon God; for he careth for you. ⁸ Be sober and guarded, because Satan your adversary, like a lion, roareth, and goeth about, and seeketh whom he may devour.

⁸ Be sober and guarded, because Satan your adversary, like a lion, roareth, and goeth about, and seeketh whom he may devour. ⁹ Therefore resist him, being steadfast in the faith: and know ye, that the same sufferings befall your brethren that are in the world. 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: ¹¹ to whom be glory, and power, and honor, for ever and ever. Amen. ¹² These as I account them few things, I have written to you by Sylvanus, a faithful brother. And I would persuade, and would testify, that this is the true grace of God, this in which ye stand.

¹ SIMON PETER, a servant and legate of Jesus the Messiah, to those who have obtained equally precious faith with us, through the righteousness of Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah;

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;

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 the Lord knoweth how to rescue from afflictions those who fear him; and he will reserve the wicked for the day of judgment to be tormented,

²⁰ For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. ²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them. ²² But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

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? ¹³ But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth. ¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, as ye expect these things, strive that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot and without blemish.

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.

⁶ He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.

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.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever.

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

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

² My beloved, now are we the sons of God; and hitherto, it hath not appeared what we are to be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, and we shall see him as he is. ³ And every one that hath this hope from him, purifieth himself, as he is pure.

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

¹⁹ We know, that we are of God; and all the world is reposing on the evil one.

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.

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

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

⁷ 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.

²⁰ But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols.

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

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