²⁴ Every one, therefore, who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

²¹ Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented.

²⁶ And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them––With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.

²⁷ Looking at them, Jesus saith––With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God

³⁶ and was saying––Abba! O Father! All things, are possible to thee: Bear aside this cup from me; but not what, I, will, but what, thou, [wilt].

¹³ Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power which have been down in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes sitting, they would have repented.

¹⁸ I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him––Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: ¹⁹ No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine,––Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.

²⁷ But he said––I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house,––

²⁷ And, he, said––The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.

¹⁸ No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].

⁵ His mother saith unto them who are ministering––Whatsoever he may say to you, do!

²⁴ Jesus himself, however, was not trusting himself unto them, by reason of his understanding them all, ²⁵ and because he had, no need, that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for, he, understood what was in man.

¹⁹ and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

⁴¹ These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.

⁴⁵ And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.

¹⁷ He saith unto him, the third time––Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him––Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him––Be feeding my sheep.

²⁰ In which season, Moses, was born, and was exceeding goodly,––who was nourished up three months in the house of his father;

⁵⁰ Hath not, my hand, made all these things?

⁵⁵ But he, being already full of Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly into heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God; ⁵⁶ And said––Lo! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man, standing, on the right hand of God.

⁶⁰ And, kneeling down, he cried out with a loud voice––Lord! do not charge against them, this sin. And, having said this, he fell asleep.

⁶ But rise up, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

³³ Immediately, therefore, I sent unto thee: Thou, also hast, well, done in coming. Now, therefore, all we, before God are present, to hear all things that have been enjoined upon thee by the Lord.

¹⁷ Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.

¹⁵ Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep:

²⁶ And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.

⁸ And, last of all, just as if unto the unseasonable birth, he appeared, even unto me; ⁹ For, I, am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

⁶ Unto the praise of the glory of his favour wherewith he favoured us in the Beloved One,––

¹¹ In whom also we were taken as an inheritance, according to the purpose of him who energiseth all things according to the counsel of his will,

¹⁷ That, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you a Spirit of wisdom and understanding in gaining a personal knowledge of him,–– ¹⁸ The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that ye may know––what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹³ Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief: ¹⁴ Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy,––that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I; –– ¹⁶ Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me,––that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age–abiding.

¹⁷ Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge––not to be high–minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches’, uncertainty,––but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying,

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith, of much baseness towards me, hath given proof,––the Lord will render unto him according to his works.––

¹² For, living, is the word of God, and, energetic, and more cutting than any knife with two edges, and penetrating as far as a dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of joints also, and marrow, and able to judge the impulses and designs of the heart; ¹³ And there is, no created thing, can be secreted before him, but, all things, are naked and exposed to his eyes:––as to whom is, our discourse.

²⁵ Whence he is able, even to be saving unto the very end, them who approach, through him, unto God; Since he evermore liveth to be interceding in their behalf.

⁴ For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins.

¹⁰ By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. ¹¹ And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which never can clear away sins; ¹² But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God: ¹³ As for the rest, waiting––until his foes be made his footstool; ¹⁴ For, by one offering, hath he perfected for evermore, them who are being made holy.

⁸ By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed––to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming.

¹² Wherefore, the slackened hands and paralysed knees, restore ye,

³ Bear in mind them who are in bonds, as having become jointly bound,––them who are suffering ill–treatment, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁷ Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you: ⁸ Draw near unto God, and he will draw near unto you. Cleanse hands, sinners! Chasten hearts, double souls! ⁹ Be miserable and lament and weep, let, your laughter, into lamentation, be turned, and, your joy, into dejection; ¹⁰ Be made low in presence of the Lord, and he will lift you up.

¹¹ Lo! we pronounce them happy who have endured; ––Of the endurance of Job, ye have heard, and, the end of the Lord, have ye seen,––that, of much tender affection, is the Lord, and full of compassion,

¹⁴ Sick, is any among you? Let him call unto him the elders of the assembly, and let them pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name [of the Lord]; ––

¹⁶ Be openly confessing, therefore, one to another, your sins, and be praying in each other’s behalf,––that ye may be healed. Much availeth, the supplication of a righteous man, when it is energised:

⁶ This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood,––and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.

¹⁶ If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life,––for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.

⁹ Lo! I give them of the synagogue of Satan, who are affirming themselves to be, Jews, and are not,––but say what is false,––lo! I will cause them, that they shall have come, and shall bow down before thy feet, and shall get to know that, I, loved thee.
