¹ After these things, Jesus manifested himself again, unto the disciples, by the sea of Tiberias; and manifested himself, thus:–– ² There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas, who was called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and, two other, of his disciples. ³ Simon Peter saith unto them––I go a fishing! They say unto him––We also, go with thee! They went out, and got up into the boat, and during that night, they caught nothing. ⁴ But, morning by this time drawing on, Jesus stood upon the beach; nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was, Jesus. ⁵ Jesus, therefore, saith unto them––Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat?

Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord. ¹³ Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner. ¹⁴ This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.

Jesus saith unto him––Be feeding my sheep. ¹⁸ Verily, verily, I say unto thee––When thou wast younger, thou usedst to gird thyself, and to walk whither thou didst choose; but, when thou shalt become aged, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and, another, shall gird thee, and bear thee, whither thou dost not choose. ¹⁹ Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God.

Thou, be following me. ²³ This word, therefore, went forth unto the brethren, that, that disciple, should not die.

³³ But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith––Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men. ³⁴ And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them––If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me. ³⁵ For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake [of me and] of the glad–message, shall save it; ³⁶ For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life? ³⁷ For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life? ³⁸ For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.

¹ And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you––There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power.

³² But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.

³ And, if anyone unto you should say––Why are ye doing this? say––The Lord, of him hath need; and, straightway, he sendeth him off again here.

²⁹ And, Peter, said unto him––Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly not, I.

⁷² And, straightway, a second time, a cock, crowed; and Peter was reminded of the declaration, how Jesus had said to him––Before a cock, twice, crow, thrice, wilt thou deny me. And, when he thought thereon, he began to weep.

⁷ But go your way, tell his disciples, and Peter––He is going before you into Galilee: there, shall ye yourselves see him,––according as he said unto you.

¹² But, after these things, unto two from among them, as they were walking, was he manifested, in a different form, as they were going unto a country place;

¹¹ That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour,––Who is Christ the Lord––in the city of David!

⁴ And, when he ceased speaking, he said unto Simon––Put off into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. ⁵ And Simon, answering, said––Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets.

⁵ And Simon, answering, said––Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets. ⁶ And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break.

⁶ And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break. ⁷ And they made signs to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats,––so that they began to sink.

⁷ And they made signs to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats,––so that they began to sink. ⁸ And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying––Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord!

¹⁰ likewise also, both James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon––Do not fear! henceforth, shall thou be taking, men, that they may, live.

¹⁰ likewise also, both James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon––Do not fear! henceforth, shall thou be taking, men, that they may, live. ¹¹ And, bringing the boats down on to the land, they left all, and followed him.

⁴⁷ For which cause, I say unto thee––Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.

²² saying––The Son of Man must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by the Elders and High priests and Scribes, and be slain,––and, on the third day, arise. ²³ And he was saying, unto all––If any one intendeth after me to come, Let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,––and be following me. ²⁴ For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it; but, whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same, shall save it? ²⁵ For what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself? ²⁶ For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him, the Son of Man, will be ashamed, whensoever he shall come in his glory, and that of the Father, and of the holy messengers.

⁴⁵ But, they, understood not this saying, and it had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it,––and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.

²⁹ Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense; ³⁰ For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek,––but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things. ³¹ Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom,––and, these things, shall be added unto you. ³² Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.

²³ And one said unto him––Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them–– ²⁴ Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able,––

³ And he spake unto them this parable, saying–– ⁴ What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety–nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it? ⁵ And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing; ⁶ and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them––Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that was lost! ⁷ I say unto you––Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety–nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.

³² But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him––Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice! ⁶² [And, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.]

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them; ¹⁶ but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.

³¹ And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.

⁴¹ Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marveling, he said unto them––Have ye anything to eat, here? ⁴² And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish; ⁴³ and, taking it before them, he did eat.

⁴² He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said––Thou, art Simon, the son of John,––thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.

¹¹ This, beginning of his signs, did Jesus, in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

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.

²⁷ And, hereupon, came his disciples, and they began to marvel, that, with a woman, he was talking. No one, however, said––What seekest thou? or––Why talkest thou with her?

⁴⁶ So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in Capernaum.

¹ After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias;

²³ howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had given thanks:––

⁴² Jesus said unto them––If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.

¹¹ I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep. ¹² The hireling, even because he is no shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth,––and, the wolf, seizeth them and scattereth,–– ¹³ Because, a hireling, he is, and hath no care for the sheep. ¹⁴ I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me,–– ¹⁵ Just as, the Father, knoweth me, and, I, know, the Father; and, my life, I lay down for the sheep. ¹⁶ And, other sheep, have I, which are not of this fold: those also, I must needs bring, and, unto my voice, will they hearken, and there shall come to be, One flock, One shepherd.

²⁶ But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. ²⁷ My sheep, unto my voice, hearken,––and, I, know, them, and they follow me,––

¹⁶ Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow–disciples––Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.

⁸ For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.

²⁶ If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
²⁷ Now, is my soul troubled,––and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name! ²⁸ There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven––I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

³³ But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.

²³ One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved:

²³ One of Jesus’ disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved: ²⁴ so Simon Peter beckoneth unto the same, and saith unto him––Say, Who is it? concerning whom he speaketh. ²⁵ He, falling back thus, upon the breast of Jesus, saith unto him––Lord! who is it? ²⁶ Jesus, therefore, answereth––That one, it is, for whom, I, shall dip the morsel, and give unto him. So, dipping the morsel, he taketh and giveth it unto Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered––Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered––Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter. ³⁷ Peter saith unto him––Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down.

³⁷ Peter saith unto him––Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down. ³⁸ Jesus answereth––Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee––In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.

¹⁵ If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep;

¹⁵ If ye be loving me, my commandments, ye will keep; ¹⁶ And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will he give unto you, that he may be with you age–abidingly, ¹⁷ The Spirit of truth,––which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
¹⁸ I will not leave you bereft,––I am coming unto you. ¹⁹ Yet a little, and, the world, no longer beholdeth me; but, ye, behold me,––Because, I, live, ye also, shall live. ²⁰ In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, in me, and, I, in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him. ²² Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him––Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said unto him––If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him,––and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, doth not keep, my word; ––and, the word which ye hear, is not mine, but, the Father’s who sent me.

¹⁰ If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love,––just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.

²⁷ And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,

¹⁹ Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them––Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,––because I said:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁷ For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth:––

³⁰ Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them––Whom, seek ye?

¹⁷ The female servant, therefore, the portress, saith unto Peter––Art, thou also, from among the disciples of this man? He, saith––I am not! ¹⁸ Now the servants and the officers were standing by, having made, a coal fire, because it was cold,––and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, unto him––Art, thou also, from among his disciples? He, denied, and said––I am not!

²⁷ Again, therefore, Peter denied. And, straightway, a cock crew.

³² that, the word of Jesus, might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother––O woman, see! thy son!

³⁵ And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe.

² She runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved, and saith unto them––They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴ These things saying, she turned round, and seeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was, Jesus.

¹⁹ It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week,––and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto them––Peace be unto you!

¹⁹ It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week,––and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto them––Peace be unto you! ²⁰ and, this, saying he pointed out both his hands and his side unto them. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced, seeing the Lord.

²⁰ and, this, saying he pointed out both his hands and his side unto them. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced, seeing the Lord. ²¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto them, again,––Peace be unto you! Just as, my Father, sent me forth, I, also, send you. ²² And, this, saying, he breathed strongly, and saith unto them––Receive ye Holy Spirit:–– ²³ Whosesoever sins ye shall remit, they are remitted unto them, whosesoever ye shall retain, they are retained. ²⁴ But, Thomas, one of the twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, were saying unto him––We have seen the Lord! But, he, said unto them––Except I see, in his hands, the print of the nails, and press my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into his side, in nowise will I believe.
²⁶ And, eight days after, his disciples again were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh––the doors having been made fast––and stood in the midst, and said––Peace be unto you!

²⁶ And, eight days after, his disciples again were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh––the doors having been made fast––and stood in the midst, and said––Peace be unto you! ²⁷ Then, saith he unto Thomas––Reach thy finger hither, and see my hands, and reach thy hand, and press into my side,––and become not disbelieving, but believing. ²⁸ Thomas answered, and said unto him––My Lord, and my God!

²⁸ Thomas answered, and said unto him––My Lord, and my God! ²⁹ Jesus saith unto him––Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed! ³⁰ Many other signs, doubtless, did Jesus, in presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; ³¹ but, these, are written, that ye may believe that, Jesus, is, the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye may have life in his name.

⁷ That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter––It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment,––for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;

⁹ So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus saith unto them––Bring of the fish which ye caught just now.

¹² Jesus saith unto them––Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord. ¹³ Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner. ¹⁴ This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.
¹⁵ When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him––Be feeding my lambs.

¹⁵ When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him––Be feeding my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith unto him, again, the second time––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him––Be shepherding my sheep.

¹⁶ He saith unto him, again, the second time––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him––Be shepherding my sheep. 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.

¹⁹ Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God. And, having said this, he saith unto him––Be following me.
²⁰ Peter, turning about, beholdeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following,––who also reclined during the supper upon his breast, and said––Lord, who is it that is delivering thee up?

²² Jesus saith unto him––If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me.

²⁴ This, is the disciple who beareth witness concerning these things, and who hath written these things; and we know that, true, is, his witness.

⁶ They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying––Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel? ⁷ He said unto them––It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority;

¹⁵ And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said,––and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty,––

²⁴ And, praying, they said––Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen,––of these two, one; ––

³⁶ Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified!

⁴¹ They, therefore, who welcomed his word, were immersed; and there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.

⁴ Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.

³⁶ As touching the word he hath sent unto the sons of Israel, announcing the glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ––the same, is Lord, of all,

³⁸ How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, God, was with him.

⁴¹ Not unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore–appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among the dead.

³ And, seeing that it was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they were the days of unleavened bread), –– ⁴ Whom also having seized, he put into prison, delivering him up unto four quaternions of soldiers, to be guarding him,––intending, after the passover, to bring him up unto the people.

⁸ And, the heart–observing God, bare witness,––unto them, giving the Holy Spirit, just as, even unto us;

³ and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent–makers by their trade.

²⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers,––to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

³⁴ yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands! ³⁵ In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said––Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!

¹¹ and, coming unto us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said––Thus, saith the Holy Spirit, the man whose this girdle is, shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver up into the hands of Gentiles.

¹ Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye,––not for disputing opinions:––

¹ We are bound, however, we, who are strong, the weakness of them who are not strong to be bearing, and not, unto ourselves, to give pleasure.

¹ I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh––as unto babes in Christ:–– ² With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; ––nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able, ³ For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

⁷ So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth,––but, God, who causeth to, grow.

⁵ So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything,––until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, from God.

¹¹ In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge––the brother for whose sake Christ died.

⁶ Or have, only I and Barnabas, not a right to forbear working?

²⁶ For, as often as ye may be eating this loaf, and, the cup, may be drinking, The death of the Lord, do ye announce, until he come.

⁴⁷ The first man, is of the ground, earthy, the second man, is, of heaven:

²¹ The salutation of Paul––with my own hand. ²² If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].

¹² For, our boasting, is, this,––the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, [and] not in fleshly wisdom, but in God’s favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world,––and more abundantly towards you.

⁴ For, out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears,––not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.
⁵ Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but––that I may not bear too heavily––unto you all. ⁶ Sufficient, unto such a one, the punishment itself which [was inflicted] by the many; ⁷ So that, on the contrary, ye should forgive and encourage, lest, by any means, by his excessive grief, such a one should be swallowed up.

⁴ And verily, we who are in the tent, do sigh, being weighed down, while yet we are not wishing to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves over,––in order that, what is mortal, may be swallowed up, by life.

¹⁴ For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us; –– Having judged this,––that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died;

¹⁴ For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us; –– Having judged this,––that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died; ¹⁵ and, in behalf of all, died he,––in order that, they who live, no longer for themselves, should live, but for him who, in their behalf, died and rose again.

⁸ Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret,––though I could even have regretted,––I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief. ⁹ Now, am I rejoicing,––not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved unto repentance; for ye were grieved according to God, in order that, in nothing, should ye receive damage from us. ¹⁰ For, grief according to God, worketh, repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; although, the grieving of the world, worketh, death. ¹¹ For lo! this very thing––the being caused to grieve, according to God:––what manner of diligence it wrought out in you,––nay! defence,––nay! sore displeasure,––nay! fear,––nay! earnest desire,––nay! jealousy,––nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the matter.

⁸ Not by way of injunction, do I speak, but through, others’, earnestness, and, the genuineness of your own love, putting to the test. ⁹ For ye are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], ––how that, for your sakes, he became destitute––although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched.

⁶ For, in Christ [Jesus], neither, circumcision, availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith, through love, energising.

¹⁴ That we may, no longer, be infants––billow–tossed and shifted round with every wind of teaching,––in the craft of men, in knavery suited to the artifice of error;

³⁰ And be not grieving the Holy Spirit of God, wherewith ye have been sealed unto a day of redemption;

²⁴ Favour be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptness.

²⁰ According to my eager outlook and hope, that, in nothing, shall I be put to shame, but, with all freedom of speech, as always, now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether through means of life, or of death.

¹¹ Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent: ¹² I know [what it is] even to be kept low, and I know [what it is] to have more than enough,––in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret––both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short: ¹³ I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.

¹⁹ And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad–message of God,

⁷ For, ye yourselves, know, how needful it is to be imitating us, in that we were not disorderly among you, ⁸ Nor, as a free–gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working,––that we might not burden any of you; –– ⁹ Not because we have not authority, but that, ourselves, as an ensample, we might hold forth unto you,––to the end ye might he imitating us.

¹⁵ These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all: ¹⁶ Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching,––abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.

⁶ But one somewhere hath borne witness, saying––What is man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? Or the son of man, that thou shouldst put him in charge? ⁷ Thou hast made him less, some little, than messengers, With glory and honour, hast thou crowned him,––[And hast set him over the works of thy hands]; ⁸ All things, hast thou subjected beneath his feet. For, in subjecting, [to him] the all things, nothing, left he, to him unsubjected; But now, not yet, do we see, to him, the all things subjected; –– ⁹ But, Jesus, made some little less than messengers, we do behold: by reason of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, to the end that, by favour of God, in behalf of every one, he might taste of death.

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.

³² And what more can I say? For, time, will fail me while I go on telling––concerning Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,––

¹² Wherefore, the slackened hands and paralysed knees, restore ye, ¹³ And, straight tracks, be making for your feet––that the lame member may not be dislocated, but, be healed rather.

⁵ Without fondness for money, be your way of life,––being content with the present things,––for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake:

²⁰ But, the God of peace, He that led up from among the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an age–abiding covenant,––our Lord Jesus,

¹ My brethren, do not, with respect for persons, be holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory.

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:––Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain:

⁶ Wherein ye exult, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold temptations,

⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,

² As new–born babes, for the pure milk that is for the mind, eagerly crave, that, thereby, ye may grow unto salvation:––

²⁵ For ye were as sheep going astray, but have now turned back unto the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

¹¹ If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth,––that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ,––unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen!
¹² Beloved! be not held in surprise by the burning among you, which, for putting you to the proof, is befalling you, as though a, surprising, thing were happening unto you; ¹³ But, in so far as ye are taking fellowship in the Christ’s sufferings, rejoice! in order that, in the revealing of his glory also, ye may rejoice with exultation: ¹⁴ If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy [are ye]! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the [Spirit] of God, unto you is bringing rest.

¹ Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort––[I] who am their co–elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; –– ² Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you,––not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind,––

² Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you,––not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind,–– ³ Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock; ⁴ And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.

¹² Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things,––although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth; ¹³ Right, nevertheless, I account it––as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance, ¹⁴ Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent––even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:

¹⁴ Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent––even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me: ¹⁵ Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.

¹ This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up––by way of calling to remembrance––your uncorrupted mind,

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life,–– ² And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age–abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us;

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father:

¹⁸ Little children! it is, the last hour; and, just as ye have heard that, an antichrist, is coming, even now, antichrists have become, many, whence we perceive that it is, the last hour:

¹⁶ Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down. ¹⁷ But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him? ¹⁸ Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth. ¹⁹ Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
²⁰ Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things. ²¹ Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God; ²² And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
²³ And, this, is his commandment,––that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and be loving one another––just as he gave a commandment unto us. ²⁴ And, he that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.

¹⁹ We, love, because, he, first loved us:––

¹ Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.

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.

⁷ For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations. ⁸ We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with the truth.

¹² Unto Demetrius, hath witness been borne by all and by the truth itself; howbeit, we also, bear witness, and thou knowest that, our witness, is, true.

⁷ Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.

²³ and, her children, will I slay with death; ––and all the assemblies shall get to know, that, I, am he that searcheth reins and hearts, and will give unto you, each one, according to your works.

²⁵ nevertheless, what ye have, hold fast, till I shall have come.

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

¹⁹ I, as many as I tenderly love, I convict and put under discipline: be zealous, therefore, and repent.

¹⁷ Because, the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne, shall shepherd them, and shall lead them unto life’s fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear out of their eyes.

⁷ And––Lo! I come speedily! Happy, is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this scroll.

²⁰ He that beareth witness of these things, saith––Yea! I come, speedily. Amen! come, Lord Jesus!
