⁷ Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea,––the land of Canaan, and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

³⁸ Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither,––him, strengthen thou, for, he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.

¹⁸ So I commanded you, at that time, saying,––Yahweh your God, hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel, all the sons of valour. ¹⁹ Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle––I know that ye have, much cattle––shall abide in your cities, which I have given unto you; ²⁰ until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan,––then shall ye return, every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

²⁵ Let me pass over, I pray thee, that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan,––this good mountain, and the Lebanon.

²⁸ But command thou Joshua, and confirm him and embolden him,––for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he, shall cause them to inherit the land, which thou shalt see.

³² So then ye must observe to do, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you,––ye must not turn aside, to the right hand or to the left.

⁶ so shall these words, which I, am commanding thee today, be upon thy heart; ⁷ and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them,––when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up; ⁸ and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand,––and they shall serve for bands, between thine eyes; ⁹ and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and within thy gates.

²⁴ and will deliver their kings into thy hand and thou shalt destroy their name, from under the heavens,––not a man shall stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.

¹ Hear, O Israel! thou art passing, today, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou,––cities great and fortified into the heavens;

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul,––and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes; ¹⁹ and ye shall teach them unto your children, by speaking of them,––when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;

²⁴ every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, yours, shall it be,––from the desert and the Lebanon, from the river––the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.

³¹ For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto you,––so shall ye possess it, and dwell therein.

³² Whatsoever be the thing which I am commanding you, the same, shall ye observe to do,––thou shalt neither add thereunto, nor take away therefrom.

¹² And, the man who shall do presumptuously by not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there to Yahweh thy God, or unto the judge, that man, shall die, and so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

¹⁸ But it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, then shall he write for himself a copy of this law upon a scroll, out of [that which is] before the priests, the Levites: ¹⁹ so shall it be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life,––that he may learn to revere Yahweh his God, to observe all the words of this law and these statutes to do them:

¹ When thou shalt go out to wage war against thine enemy, and shalt see the horses and chariots of a people more in number than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them,––for, Yahweh thy God, is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

⁴ For, Yahweh your God, is he that is going with you,––to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

⁸ Then shall the officers further speak unto the people, and say––Who is the man that is fearful and faint–hearted? let him go, and return unto his house,––lest his brethren’s heart melt as well as his heart.

¹⁴ and dost not turn side from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left,––to go after other gods, to serve them.

⁹ Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them,––that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

¹⁴ But, near unto thee, is the word, exceedingly,––in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

³ Yahweh thy God, is passing over before thee, he, will destroy these nations from before thee, so shalt thou dispossess them,––Joshua, is passing over before thee, as Yahweh hath spoken.

⁶ Be firm and bold, do not fear nor tremble, because of them,––for, Yahweh thy God, it is who is going with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

⁶ Be firm and bold, do not fear nor tremble, because of them,––for, Yahweh thy God, it is who is going with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee. ⁷ And Moses called for Joshua, and said unto him, in the sight of all Israel, Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt go with this people, into the land which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, to give unto them, and, thou, shalt cause them to inherit it.

⁷ And Moses called for Joshua, and said unto him, in the sight of all Israel, Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt go with this people, into the land which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, to give unto them, and, thou, shalt cause them to inherit it.

⁷ And Moses called for Joshua, and said unto him, in the sight of all Israel, Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt go with this people, into the land which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, to give unto them, and, thou, shalt cause them to inherit it. ⁸ But, Yahweh, it is who is going before thee, he, will be with thee, he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee,––thou must not fear, nor be dismayed.

¹¹ when all Israel cometh in to see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel, in their hearing.

²³ And he commanded Joshua, son of Nun, and said––Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt bring the sons of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them,––and, I, will be with thee.

²⁸ Call together unto me, all the elders of your tribes, and your officers,––and let me speak in their hearing these words, and let me take to witness against them the heavens and the earth.

¹ Now, this, is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel,––before his death.

⁵ So Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there, in the land of Moab, at the bidding of Yahweh;

⁹ But, Joshua, son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him,––so the sons of Israel hearkened unto him, and did, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

¹ And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh,––that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:

⁵ No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life,––as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee. ⁶ Be firm and bold,––for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers,––to give unto them. ⁷ Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left,––that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.

⁷ Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left,––that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest. ⁸ This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein,––for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success. ⁹ Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed,––for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?

¹¹ Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions,––for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.

¹⁷ As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee,––only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

² And it came to pass, after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp,

⁷ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel,––who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee.

²⁷ And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua,––and his fame was in all the land.

¹⁵ As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁶ Moses the servant of Yahweh, and the sons of Israel, had smitten them,––and Moses the servant of Yahweh, had given it, as a possession, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh.

⁹ So then Moses sware on that day saying, Surely, the land on which thy foot hath trodden, unto thee, shall belong, for an inheritance, and unto thy sons, unto times age–abiding,––because thou hast wholly followed Yahweh my God.

¹ Then, called Joshua––for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites,––and for the half tribe of Manasseh; ² and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you,––and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you: ³ ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day,––but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God. ⁴ Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them,––now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan.

⁴ Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them,––now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan. ⁵ Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you––to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him,––and to serve him––with all your heart, and with all your soul. ⁶ So Joshua blessed them,––and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes. ⁷ Now, unto the [one] half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the [other] half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward,––moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them, ⁸ and spake unto them, saying––With much wealth, return ye unto your homes, even with very much cattle, with silver and with gold, and with copper and with iron, and with very much raiment,––divide ye the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. ⁹ So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan,––to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

¹⁴ And Yahweh, turned unto him, and said––Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel, out of the hand of Midian,––have I not sent thee?

⁹ Take courage, and quit yourselves like men, ye Philistines, lest ye come into bondage to the Hebrews, as they have been in bondage unto you,––therefore must ye quit yourselves like men, and fight.

¹² Then said the people unto Samuel, Who is he that was saying, Shall, Saul, reign over us? Give up the men, that we may put them to death.

¹³ So, let Yahweh do unto Jonathan, and, so, let him add––when harm against thee seemeth good unto my father, then will I unveil thine ear, and let thee go, and thou shall depart in peace,––then Yahweh be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

²⁸ Now Absolom had commanded his young men, saying––Mark, I pray you, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say unto you––Smite ye Amnon, then shall ye put him to death, do not fear,––have not, I myself, commanded you? Be bold, and show yourselves to be sons of valour.

³⁷ As Yahweh hath been with my lord the king, so, let him he with Solomon,––and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord, King David.

² I, am going the way of all the earth,––thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man; ³ and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses,––to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;

¹⁶ And, Jehu son of Minshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel,––and, Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel–meholah, shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead:

¹¹ So Jehoshaphat said––Is there not, here, a prophet of Yahweh, that we may enquire of Yahweh, from him? Then answered one of the servants of the king of Israel, and said, Here, is Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

²⁷ But, when she came unto the man of God, on the mount, she caught hold of his feet,––and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away, when the man of God said––Let her alone! for, her life, is embittered to her, howbeit, Yahweh, hath hidden it from me, and hath not told me. ²⁸ Then said she, Did I ask a son, of my lord? Said I not, Thou must not mislead me? ²⁹ And he said to Gehazi––Gird thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way, if thou meet with any man, thou must not bless him, and, if any man bless thee, thou must not respond to him,––then shalt thou lay my staff upon the face of the boy.

²⁵ Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said,––Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither. ²⁶ Then he said unto him––My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men–servants, or maid–servants? ²⁷ The leprosy of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age–abiding. And he went forth from before him––a leper––like snow.

⁵ Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears,––Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;

⁹ and, eastward, dwelt he as far as the entering in of the desert, from the river Euphrates,––because, their cattle, were multiplied in the land of Gilead;

³ And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah, towards Hamath,––as he went to establish his hold of the river Euphrates.

¹³ Then, shalt thou prosper, if thou take heed to do the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh commanded Moses, concerning Israel,––be strong and bold, thou mayst not be in fear, nor be dismayed.

¹⁰ See! now, that, Yahweh, hath made choice of thee, to build a house for a sanctuary––be strong and do!

²⁰ Then said David, unto Solomon his son, Be strong and bold, and act, thou mayest not fear nor be dismayed,––for, Yahweh, God, my God, will be with thee, he will not let thee go, neither will he forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh.

⁷ Be strong and bold, do not fear neither be dismayed, because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude that is with him,––for, with us, is One greater than with him: ⁸ with him, is an arm of flesh, but, with us, is Yahweh our God, to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people leaned upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

⁴ Arise, for, upon thee, resteth the thing, but, we, are with thee,––be strong, and act.

¹ [BOOK THE FIRST]
¶ How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless,––and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat; ² But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight,––and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night. ³ So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters,––that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

¹ Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing? ² The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,––against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]: ³ Let us break asunder their bonds,––and cast from us their cords! ⁴ He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh,––My Lord, will mock at them: ⁵ Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them: ⁶ Yet, I, have installed my king,––on Zion my holy mountain.

¹⁴ The words of my mouth, and the soft utterance of my heart, shall come with acceptance, before thee, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer!

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

⁴ Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfill.

⁹ Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

¹ [David’s.]
Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread? ² When there drew near against me evil–doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies––mine!––they, stumbled and fell!

¹⁴ Wait thou for Yahweh,––Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!

³⁰ The mouth of a righteous man, softly uttereth wisdom, and, his tongue, speaketh justice: ³¹ The law of his God, is in his heart, his steps shall not swerve.

¹⁰ Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.

⁷ Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]

¹¹ Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]

²⁵ Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee! ²⁶ Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.

¹¹ In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.

¹⁵ In thy precepts, will I meditate, that I may discern thy paths.

⁴² So shall I have something to answer him that reproacheth me, That I have trusted in thy word.
⁴³ And do not snatch away from my mouth the word of truth in any wise, because, for thy regulation, have I waited.

⁹⁷ [MEM.] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my meditation.

⁹⁹ Beyond all my teachers, have I shown discretion, for, thy testimonies, are my meditation.

¹ My son, if thou wilt receive my sayings, and, my commandments, wilt treasure up by thee; ² So that thou direct, unto wisdom, thine ear, bend thy heart, unto understanding; ³ Yea if, for understanding, thou cry aloud, for knowledge, utter thy voice; ⁴ If thou seek her as silver, and, like hid treasure, thou search for her, ⁵ Then, shalt thou understand the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of God, shalt thou find.

¹ My son, mine instruction, do not thou forget, and, my commandment, let thy heart observe;

²⁷ Decline not, to the right hand or to the left,––Turn away thy foot from wickedness.

²⁰ In the way of righteousness, I march along, in the middle of the paths of justice:

³ Strengthen ye the weak hands,––The trembling knees, make ye firm: ⁴ Say to the hurried in heart, Be strong, Do not fear,––Lo! your God, with avenging, doth come, With the recompence of God, He, doth come to save you.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for, with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God,––I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee, with my righteous, right–hand. ¹¹ Lo! they shall turn pale and be ashamed––All they who have been incensed against thee,––They shall become as nothing and perish––The men who have been thine accusers: ¹² Thou shalt seek them, but shalt not find them––The men who have contended with thee, They shall become as nothing, and as a thing of nought––The men who have warred against thee; ¹³ For I, Yahweh, thy God, am firmly grasping thy right–hand,––Who am saying unto thee, Do not fear! I, have become thy helper! ¹⁴ Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel,––I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel.

¹ Lo! my Servant, I will uphold him, My chosen, well–pleased, is my soul,––I have put my spirit upon him, Justice––to the nations, will he bring forth:

¹ Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh––Creating thee, O Jacob, and, Fashioning thee, O Israel,––Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, Mine, thou art! ² When thou passest through the waters, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee,––When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not kindle upon thee; ³ For, I––Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel, Ready to save thee,––I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy stead. ⁴ Because thou, art precious in mine eyes, art honoured, And, I, love thee,––And will give, mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, for thy life, ⁵ Do not fear, for, with thee, I am,––From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:

⁵ Do not fear, for, with thee, I am,––From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:

²¹ And, as for me, this, shall be my covenant with them, Saith Yahweh: My spirit that is upon thee, And my words which I have put in thy mouth,––Shall not be taken out of thy mouth––Nor out of the mouth of thy seed, Nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, Saith Yahweh, From henceforth even unto times age–abiding.

⁷ Then said Yahweh unto me, Do not say, A child, am, I,––For, against whomsoever I send thee, shalt thou go, And, whatsoever I command thee, shalt thou speak: ⁸ Be not afraid of their faces, For, with thee, am, I, to deliver thee, Declareth Yahweh.

¹⁹ And he said, Do not fear, O man greatly delighted in! peace to thee, be strong, yea be strong! And, as he spake with me, I gained strength, and said, Let my lord speak, for thou hast strengthened me.

² He will bring us to life, after two days,––on the third day, will he raise us up, that we may live before him.

⁴ Now, therefore––Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.

⁹ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye who are hearing, in these days, these words,––from the mouth of the prophets who, on the day the house of Yahweh of hosts, was founded, [foretold] that, the temple, should be built:––

²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens,––but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

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;

³⁵ The good man, out of the good treasure, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.

²⁶ Not so, is it, among you,––but, whosoever shall desire, among you, to become, great, shall be, your minister; ²⁷ And, whosoever shall desire, among you, to be first, shall be, your servant:––

⁹ and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying––Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I myself have commanded you, And lo! I, am, with you, all the days, until the conclusion of the age.

²⁸ But, he, said––Yea rather!––Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!

¹⁰ The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.

²⁷ But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.

¹⁷ If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them.

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.

¹⁹ But, Peter and John, answering, said unto them––Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!

⁴⁵ Which our fathers succeeding to, also brought in, with Joshua, when taking possession of the nations, which God put out from before our fathers until the days of David;

³⁶ For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption; ³⁷ But, he whom God hath raised, did not see corruption.

⁹ And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul––Be not afraid! but be speaking,––and do not hold thy peace; ¹⁰ Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad–message of God––

³¹ What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God [is] for us, who [shall be] against us?

³⁷ Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us.

¹ Let, every soul, unto protecting authorities be in subjection; for there is no authority save by God, and, they that are in being, have by God been arranged,–– ² So that, he who rangeth himself against the authority, against the arrangement of God opposeth himself, and, they who oppose, shall unto themselves a sentence of judgment receive. ³ For, they who bear rule, are not a terror unto the good work but unto the evil. Wouldst thou not be afraid of the authority? That which is good, be thou doing, and thou shall have praise of the same; ⁴ For, God’s minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God’s minister, he is,––an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection,––not only because of the anger, but also because of the conscience;

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

⁵ Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,

¹³ Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men––be strong;

¹³ For, ye, on a footing of freedom, were called, brethren,––only, [turn] not your freedom into an occasion to the flesh, but, by means of your love, be serving one another;

² One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

²⁹ Let, no putrid discourse, out of your mouth, be going forth, but if anything is good––suited to the needful upbuilding,––that it may give benefit unto them that hear;

¹⁰ For the rest, be empowering yourselves in the Lord, and in the grasp of his might:

²¹ For, unto me––living, is Christ, and, dying, gain. ²² But, if living in flesh, [is Christ], this, unto me, is a fruit of work,––and, what I shall choose, I make not known: ²³ I am held in constraint, however, by reason of the two,––having, the coveting, to be released, and to be with, Christ, for it were far better! ²⁴ But, to abide still in the flesh, is more needful for your sake; ²⁵ And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide,––yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith; ²⁶ In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.

⁴ Not, to your own things, severally looking, but, to the things of others, severally:––

¹⁶ Let, the word of the Christ, dwell within you richly,––in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with gratitude, raising song with your hearts unto God:

¹ I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made––supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men, ² In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:

¹⁴ Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership. 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.

¹ Thou, therefore, my child, be empowering thyself in the favour that is in Christ Jesus,

¹⁷ But, the Lord, stood by me, and empowered me, in order that, through me, the proclamation, might be fully made, and, all the nations, might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of a lion:––

¹ Paul, a servant of God––an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ,––according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness,–– ² In hope of life age–abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age–during times,

¹ Be putting them in mind, unto rulerships, unto authorities, to be in submission, to be yielding to rule, for every good work, to be, prepared,

⁵ Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken; ⁶ But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house,––whose house are, we,––if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm,] we hold fast.

²³ And, they, indeed, in greater numbers, have been made priests, because, by reason of death, are they hindered from remaining at hand; ²⁴ But, he, by reason of his remaining age–abidingly, untransmissible, holdeth, the priesthood.

²⁸ Any one having set aside a law of Moses, apart from compassions, upon [the testimony of] two or three witnesses, dieth: ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who hath trampled underfoot the Son of God, and, the blood of the covenant, hath esteemed, a profane thing, by which he had been made holy, and, unto the Spirit of favour, hath offered wanton insult?

²⁵ Beware, lest ye excuse yourselves from him that speaketh; for, if, they escaped not, who excused themselves from him who on earth was warning, how much less, shall, we, who from him that warneth from the heavens, do turn ourselves away:

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:

¹ James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,––unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.

²² Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only––reasoning yourselves astray; ²³ Because, if any is, a word–hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror,–– ²⁴ For he observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him,––what manner of man, he was! ²⁵ But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming––not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.

¹³ Submit yourselves unto every human creation, for the Lord’s sake,––whether unto a king, as one that protecteth, ¹⁴ Or unto governors, as, through him, sent––for vengeance on evil–doers, but praise to such as do good; ¹⁵ Because, so, is the will of God,––by doing good, to be putting to silence, the ignorance of heedless men:

¹⁸ and the Living One,––and I became dead; ––and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

⁴ And, the woman, was arrayed with purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls,––having a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations and the impurities of her lewdness;

¹⁴ Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city.
