¹⁹ Yet, ye, today, have rejected your God, who, himself, hath been giving you salvation from all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him: A king, shalt thou set over us,––Now, therefore, present yourselves before Yahweh, by your tribes, and by your thousands.

³⁶ And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply,––so she told him nothing––less or more, until the light of the morning. ³⁷ And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone. ³⁸ And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.

²⁰ Then David arose from the ground, and bathed and anointed, and changed his apparel, and, entering into the house of Yahweh, bowed himself down,––then came he into his own house, and asked, and they set before him food, and he did eat.

¹⁴ Then went he down, and dipped himself in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

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.

³ Now there were, four men, lepers, at the entrance of the gate,––and they said one to another––Why are, we, sitting here until we are dead?

¹⁴ And yet, who am, I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer willingly like this? for, from thee, is the whole, and, out of thine own hand, have we given unto thee; ¹⁵ for, sojourners, are we before thee, and strangers, like all our fathers,––like a shadow, are our days upon the earth, and there is no hope. ¹⁶ O Yahweh our God, all this abundance which we have prepared, to build thee a house for thy holy Name, out of thine own hand, it is, and, thine, is the whole.

⁶ and said unto the judges, See what, ye, are doing, inasmuch as, not for man, must ye judge, but for Yahweh,––who will be with you, in the word of justice. ⁷ Now, therefore, let the dread of Yahweh be upon you,––observe and do, for there is, with Yahweh our God, neither perversity nor respect of persons nor the taking of bribes.

²⁰ When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned towards him, lo! he, was leprous, in his forehead, so they hastened him from thence,––yea, even he himself, hurried to go out, because Yahweh had smitten him. ²¹ And it came to pass that, Uzziah the king, was a leper until the day of his death, and dwelt in a house apart––a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh,––and, Jotham his son, was over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.

²⁴ In those days, was Hezekiah sick unto death,––and, when he prayed unto Yahweh, he was entreated of him and, a wonderful token, he gave him. ²⁵ But, not according to the benefit done unto him, did Hezekiah make return, for uplifted was his heart,––and so there came upon him, wrath, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. ²⁶ Then Hezekiah humbled himself, for the uplifting of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,––so that the wrath of Yahweh came not upon them, in the days of Hezekiah.

⁴ Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.

⁹ Their houses, are at peace, without dread, neither is, the rod of GOD, upon them; ¹⁰ His bull, covereth, and causeth not aversion, His cow safely calveth, and casteth not her young; ¹¹ They send forth––like a flock––their young ones, and, their children, skip about for joy; ¹² They rejoice aloud as [with] timbrel and lyre, and make merry to the sound of the pipe; ¹³ They complete, in prosperity, their days, and, in a moment to hades, they sink down.

² Unto GOD, can a man act as friend? Surely a discreet man befriendeth himself! ³ Is it a pleasure to the Almighty, that thou shouldst be righteous? or any profit, that thou shouldst be blameless in thy ways?

¹⁵ The path of the ancient time, wilt thou mark, which the men of iniquity trod? ¹⁶ Who were snatched away before the time, and, a stream, washed away their foundation? ¹⁷ Who had been saying unto GOD, Depart from us! and––What can the Almighty do for himself? ¹⁸ Yet, he, had filled their houses with good! The counsel of the lawless, then, is far from me:

⁶ If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him? ⁷ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?

³ Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings of the earth; ⁴ After it, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, when his voice is heard.

²⁹ From thence, he searcheth out food, far away, his eyes do pierce; ³⁰ And, his young brood, suck up blood, and, where the slain are, there, is he.

² Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee. ³ It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight

⁹ Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

³ Do not drag me away––with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity,––who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.

¹ [A Melody of David.]
Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty,––Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength: ² Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.

¹ [A Melody. A Song for the Dedication of the House. David’s.]
I will extol thee, O Yahweh, for thou hast drawn me up,––and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me. ² O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

¹¹ Thou hast turned my lamentation, into a dance for me,––Thou hast torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness: ¹² To the end that mine honour should make melody unto thee, and not be silent. O Yahweh, my God! Unto times age–abiding, will I praise thee.

⁶ Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pursuing them. ⁷ For, without cause, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net,––Without cause, have they digged [a pit] for my life.

²³ He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me,––And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.

¹ Bless, O my soul, Yahweh,––And all that is within me, his holy Name; ² Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings:–– ³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases; ⁴ Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:

¹³ Soon forgat they his works,––They waited not for his counsel;

²⁰ He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves. ²¹ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men! ²² Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.

¹² How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me? ¹³ The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call: ¹⁴ My vows––to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in presence of all his people! ¹⁵ Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.

¹⁸ Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.
¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto Yah.

⁵ Let a righteous man smite me––a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.

⁸ Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

² All the ways of a man, [may be] pure in his own eyes, but, he that testeth spirits, is Yahweh.
³ Roll, upon Yahweh, thy doings, that thy plans, may be established.

¹⁰ A reproof sinketh more deeply into an intelligent man than a hundred stripes, into a dullard!

⁵ Better is a rebuke that is open, than love carefully concealed.

⁹ If, Yahweh of hosts, had not left us a very small remnant, Like Sodom, had we become, Gomorrah, had we resembled.

⁵ Then said I––Woe to me!––for I am undone, Because, a man of unclean lips, am, I, And, in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do, I, dwell,––For, the King, Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!

¹⁹ Thus shall Babylon––The most lovely of kingdoms, The majestic beauty of the Chaldees––Become, as in the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah.

⁴ My heart fluttereth, A horror, terrifieth me,––My twilight of pleasure, hath he turned for me into a time of trembling.

¹² And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called, in that day,––for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare, and for girding with sackcloth, ¹³ Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen, and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine,––Let us eat and drink, For, tomorrow, we may die! ¹⁴ Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears, Surely there shall be no propitiatory–covering put over this iniquity for you, until ye die, Saith My Lord, Yahweh, of hosts.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he, can praise thee, As I, do this day,––A father, to his children, can make known thy faithfulness. ²⁰ Yahweh, [was willing] to save me,––Therefore, on my stringed instruments, will we play––All the days of our life, By the house of Yahweh. ²¹ And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover. ²² And Hezekiah had said––What is the sign––that I shall go up unto the house of Yahweh?

¹¹ Like a shepherd, his flock, will he tend, In his own arm, will he take up the lambs, And, in his own bosom, will he carry [them], ––Them which are with young, will he lead to a place of rest.

⁹ Things told in advance, lo! they have come to pass,––And, new things, am I, telling, Ere yet they spring forth, I let, you, hear them.

¹² Let them render, unto Yahweh, glory,––And, his praise, in the Coastlands, let them tell.

³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁶ But we have become as one unclean, all of us, And, as a garment polluted, were all our righteous doings,––And so we faded like a leaf, all of us, And, our iniquity, as a wind, carried us away;

²⁴ And it shall come to pass–That, before they call, I, will answer, And, while yet they, are speaking, I, will hear.

⁵ Wouldst, thou, then seek to secure for thyself great things? Do not seek! For, behold me! bringing in calamity upon all flesh, Declareth Yahweh, Nevertheless I will give thee thine own life as a spoil, in all places whithersoever thou goest.

⁴⁰ Like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Declareth Yahweh,––There shall not dwell there––a man, Nor sojourn therein––a son of the earth–born.

⁴ Then said Yahweh unto him, Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,––and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations. that are being done in her midst.
⁵ But, unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him, and smite,––let not your eye, shield, neither have ye pity: ⁶ elder, young man and virgin, and little ones and women, shall ye slay utterly, but, unto any man who hath upon him the mark, do not ye come near, and, at my sanctuary, shall ye begin. So they began with the elder men, who were before the house.

⁴⁹ Lo! this, became the iniquity of Sodom thy sister,––Pride, fulness of bread, and careless security, came to her and to her daughters, And, the hand of the oppressed and the needy, she strengthened not. ⁵⁰ So then they became haughty, and committed abomination before me,––And I took them away, when I saw [it],

⁴⁴ And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left,––it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.

²⁶ And, after the sixty–two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing,––and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things. ²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

⁸ How can I give thee up, Ephraim? abandon thee Israel? How can I make thee as Admah? set thee as Zeboim? Mine own heart, turneth against me, at once, are kindled my compassions.

¹¹ I have made an overthrew among you, like the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye have become like a brand snatched out of the burning,––Yet hate ye not returned unto me, Declareth Yahweh.

¹ I saw My Lord stationed by the altar, and he said––Smite the capital––that the sills, may tremble, Yea break them off on the head of them all, and, the last of them, with the sword, will I slay,––He that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not make good his escape. ² Though they break through into hades, from thence, shall my hand fetch them,––and, though they ascend the heavens, from thence, will I bring them down; ³ And, though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, from thence, will I search for them and take them,––and, though they conceal themselves from before mine eyes at the bottom of the sea, from thence, will I command the serpent and he shall bite them; ⁴ And, though they go into captivity before their enemies, from thence, will I command the sword, and it shall slay them,––So will I set mine eyes upon them for calamity, and not for blessing.

⁹ Wherefore, as I live, declareth Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab, like Sodom, shall become, and, the sons of Ammon, like Gomorrah, a possession for the thorn, and a pit of salt, Yea a desolation, unto times age–abiding: The remnant of my people, shall make of them a prey, and, the residue of my nation, shall inherit them.

⁶ Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying,––Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.

¹⁴ But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow,––Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.

⁷ O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts,––Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over the little ones. ⁸ And it shall come to pass, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two–thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire,––but, a third, shall be left therein; ⁹ And I will bring the third into the fire, and will smelt them as one smelteth silver, and will try them, as one trieth gold,––It, will call upon my name, and, I, will answer it, and will say, My people, it is! and, it, will say, Yahweh, is my God!

² Yea I will gather together all the nations unto Jerusalem, to battle, and the city, shall be captured, and the houses, plundered, and, the women, ravished,––and half of the city, shall go forth, into exile, but, the remainder of the people, shall not be cut off out of the city.

¹ Behold me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me,–– and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh of hosts. ² But who may endure the day of his coming? And who is he that can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ alkali;

¹⁶ Then, they who revered Yahweh, conversed, one with another,––and Yahweh hearkened, and heard, and there was written a book of remembrance before him, for them who revered Yahweh, and for such as thought of his Name. ¹⁷ Therefore shall they be mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in the day for which, I, am preparing treasure,––and I will deal tenderly with them, just as a man, dealeth tenderly, with his own son who is serving him. ¹⁸ So shall ye return, and see the difference, between the righteous and the lawless,––between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.

¹ For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace,––and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. ² So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings,––and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;

¹¹ and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother,––and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts––gold and frankincense and myrrh;

¹⁵ But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer [me] even now,––for, thus, it becometh us, to fulfill, all righteousness; then, he suffered him.

⁴⁴ But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:

¹² And forgive us our debts, as, we also, have forgiven our debtors;

¹⁴ For, if ye forgive men their faults, Your Father who is in the heavens, will forgive, even you; ¹⁵ But, if ye forgive not men [their faults], neither will your Father forgive, your faults.

²⁵ For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat [or what ye shall drink], ––or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment?

³ And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying,––I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy. ⁴ And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one,––but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.

¹⁰ Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed,––Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found.

¹² Whereas, the sons of the kingdom, shall be cast forth into the darkness outside,––There, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁸ Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.

¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them,––Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast.

²² And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said,––Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour.

²⁷ And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying,––Have mercy on us, O Son of David!

⁵ These twelve, Jesus sent forth, charging them, saying:––Into any way to the nations, do not depart,––and, into any city of Samaritans, do not enter;

³⁹ He that hath found his life, shall lose it,––and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.

²³ And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day. ²⁴ Moreover, I say unto you––For the land of Sodom, more tolerable, will it be in a day of judgment, than, for thee.

¹¹ And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], ––Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?

²⁸ But, if, in God’s Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!

³¹ Another parable, put he before them, saying––The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; ³² which, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden–plants, and becometh a tree,––so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.

²² And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.

²⁴ But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me. ²⁶ But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs. ²⁷ And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters. ²⁸ Then, answering, Jesus said to her––O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.

²¹ From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain,––and on, the third day, arise.

²³ But, he, turning, said to Peter––Withdraw behind me, Satan! A snare, art thou of mine, because thou art not regarding the things of God, but the things of men.

²⁵ For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it,––but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers,––and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.

²⁰ And, he, saith unto them––Because of your little faith. For, verily, I say unto you––If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence yonder; and it shall be removed, and, nothing, shall be impossible to you.

²² And, as they were being gathered together in Galilee, Jesus said unto them––The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men; ²³ And they will slay him, and, on the third day, will he, arise. And they were grieved exceedingly.

³ and said––Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens; ⁵ And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome. ⁶ And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill–stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
⁷ Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come,––nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!

¹⁰ Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you––that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.

¹⁴ Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
¹⁵ But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone,––If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother; ¹⁶ But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;

¹⁶ But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established; ¹⁷ But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly,––And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax–collector.

²¹ Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]––Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?

²¹ Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]––Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times? ²² Jesus saith to him––I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.

³⁵ Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.

³⁰ But many shall be––first–last, and last–first.

¹⁶ Thus, shall be––The last first, and the first last.

¹⁸ Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief–priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, [to death], ¹⁹ And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,––and, on the third day, he will, arise.

³⁰ and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying––Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David! ³¹ But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying––Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David!

²¹ And Jesus, answering, said unto them––Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig–tree, shall ye do,––but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done.

⁴² Jesus saith unto them––Have ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvelous in our eyes.

³ And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying––Tell us, when these things shall be,––and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age.

¹⁷ And, he that is on the house–top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house; ¹⁸ And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle. ¹⁹ But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days; ²⁰ But be praying that your flight, may not happen in winter, nor on sabbath; ²¹ For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.

²³ Then, if any, unto you, say––Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;

²³ Then, if any, unto you, say––Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it; ²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:––

²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:–– ²⁵ Lo! I have foretold you.

²⁵ Lo! I have foretold you.

²⁵ Lo! I have foretold you. ²⁶ If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it.

²⁶ If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it. ²⁷ For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man.

²⁷ For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man.

²⁷ For, just as the lightning goeth forth from the east, and shineth unto the west, so, shall be the presence of the Son of Man. ²⁸ Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures!

²⁸ Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures!

²⁸ Wheresoever, the corpse, shall be, there, shall be gathered, the vultures! ²⁹ But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven,––and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken; ³⁰ And, then, will be displayed––The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts––all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man––coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory.

³⁰ And, then, will be displayed––The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts––all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man––coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory. ³¹ And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen––Out of the four winds, from heavens’ bounds, unto their bounds.

³⁷ For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;

³⁷ For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man; ³⁸ For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage,––until the day Noah entered into the ark; ³⁹ And they observed not, until the flood came and took away all together, so, will be, the presence of the Son of Man.

³⁹ And they observed not, until the flood came and took away all together, so, will be, the presence of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Then, shall there be two men in the field,––one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind: ⁴¹ Two women grinding at the mill,––one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind.

⁴¹ Two women grinding at the mill,––one, is taken near, and, one, is left behind.

³⁰ And, the unprofitable servant, cast ye forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
³¹ But, whensoever the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the messengers with him, then will he sit on his throne of glory;

³⁷ Then, will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord! when, saw we thee––hungry, and fed thee, or thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ And, when, saw we thee––a stranger, and took thee home, or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ And, when, saw we thee––sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰ And, answering, the king will say unto them: Verily, I say unto you––Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me, ye did it.

²⁴ The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him,––But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!

⁶⁴ Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you––Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

²⁰ But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will fast, in that day.

³³ And, the woman, overcome with fear, and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴ And, he, said to her––Daughter! thy faith hath made thee well; withdraw into peace, and be whole from thy plague.

³⁰ And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.

³¹ And he began to be teaching them––The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High–priests and the Scribes,––and be slain; and, after three days, arise.

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?

²² and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us. ²³ And, Jesus, said unto him––As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith. ²⁴ Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying––I have faith! help my, want, of faith.

³¹ for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them], The Son of Man, is to be delivered up, into the hands of men, and they will slay him,––and, being slain, after three days, will he arise.

⁴² And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.

³³ Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up, unto the Chief–priests and the Scribes,––and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up unto the nations;

⁵² And, Jesus, said unto him––Go thy way! thy faith, hath saved thee. And, straightway, he recovered sight, and was following him in the road.

²² And, answering, Jesus saith unto them––Have faith in God. ²³ Verily, I say unto you––Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be lifted up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that, what he speaketh, cometh to pass, it shall be his.

¹⁰ Have ye not, this scripture, read––A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!

¹⁴ But, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, he that readeth, let him, think, then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains; ¹⁵ He that is on the house–top, let him not come down, neither let him enter, to take away anything out of his louse; ¹⁶ And, he that hath gone into the field, let him not turn back unto the things behind, to take away his mantle.

²¹ And, then, if any, unto you, say––See! Here, is the Christ! See! there, do not believe it;

²¹ And, then, if any, unto you, say––See! Here, is the Christ! See! there, do not believe it; ²² For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets; and they will show signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, the chosen. ²³ But, ye, beware: I have foretold you, all things.

²³ But, ye, beware: I have foretold you, all things.

²⁶ And, then, will they see the Son of Man––coming in clouds, with great power and glory.

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

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.

⁸ And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying––Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord!

¹² And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, that lo! there was a man full of leprosy; and, seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and entreated him, saying––Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.

¹⁴ And, he, charged him to tell, no one,––but, departing, Show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.

³⁵ But there will come days, even when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then, will they fast, in those days.

¹³ And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her––Be not weeping!

⁵⁰ But he said unto the woman––Thy faith, hath saved thee,––Go thy way into peace.

⁴⁸ And, he, said to her––Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.

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.

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?

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem; ⁵² and he sent messengers before his face,––and, taking their journey, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵² and he sent messengers before his face,––and, taking their journey, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. ⁵³ And they welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said––Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them? ⁵⁵ But, turning, he rebuked them. ⁵⁶ And they journeyed into a different village.

⁹ And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto them––The kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you. ¹⁰ But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye: ¹¹ Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice––The kingdom of God hath drawn near.

¹¹ Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice––The kingdom of God hath drawn near.

³² And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side. ³³ But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion; ³⁴ and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine,––and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn–keeper, and said––Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.

¹⁹ and will say to my soul––Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,] be making merry! ²⁰ But God said unto him––Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

³⁷ Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you––he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.

³ Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.

⁵ Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.

¹⁵ The Lord answered him, and said––Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?

¹⁹ It is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.

²⁴ Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able,––

³⁵ Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you––In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say,––Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!

⁵ and, unto them, said––Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?

¹⁶ The law and the prophets, were until John,––from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.

¹⁹ Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly. ²⁰ And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores, ²¹ and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores. ²² And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried. ²³ And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

¹⁷ And Jesus, answering, said––Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but,] where, are, the nine? ¹⁸ Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?

²¹ Neither shall they say––Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you. ²² But he said unto the disciples––There will come days––when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see. ²³ And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.

²³ And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue. ²⁴ For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.

²⁴ For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.

⁸ I tell you––He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?

¹³ But, the tax–collector, afar off, standing,––would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying––O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!

³¹ And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them––Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;

³³ and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.

³⁸ And he cried aloud, saying––Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me! ³⁹ And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out––O Son of David! have mercy upon me!

⁴² And, Jesus, said unto him––Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.

⁴ And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore–tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.

¹¹ And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.

⁸ And, he, said––Be taking heed ye be not deceived; for, many, will come upon my name, saying––I, am he,––and––The season, hath drawn near! Do not go after them.

²¹ Then they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth,––and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her; ²² For, days of avenging, are, these, for all the things written to be fulfilled.

²⁷ And, then, will they see the Son of Man––coming in a cloud, with great power and glory.

³⁴ But be taking heed unto yourselves, lest once your hearts be made heavy––with debauch and drunkenness and anxieties about livelihood, and that day come upon you suddenly,

³⁴ But be taking heed unto yourselves, lest once your hearts be made heavy––with debauch and drunkenness and anxieties about livelihood, and that day come upon you suddenly, ³⁵ as a snare,––For it will come in by surprise, upon all them that are dwelling on the face of all the earth. ³⁶ But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

²⁵ And, he, said unto them––O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken:–– ²⁶ Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?

⁴⁶ and said unto them––Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day;

¹¹ Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.

²⁶ John answered them, saying––I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; ––

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

³ he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
⁴ Now he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁹ The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him––How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? [for, Jews, have no dealings with Samaritans.]

²¹ Jesus saith unto her––Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. ²² Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.

³⁹ And, out of that city, many, believed on him––of the Samaritans,––by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness––He told me all things that ever I did. ⁴⁰ When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days. ⁴¹ And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse; ⁴² and, unto the woman, began to say––No longer, by reason of thy talk, do we believe; for, we ourselves, have heard, and know that, This One, is, in truth, the Saviour of the world.

⁵⁰ Jesus saith unto him––Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way. ⁵¹ And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living. ⁵² So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, unto him––Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. ⁵³ So the father took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him––Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.

¹⁴ After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him––See! thou hast become, well:––No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.

²³ That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.

³³ Jesus, therefore, said––Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me: ³⁴ Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come. ³⁵ The Jews, therefore, said unto themselves––Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks? ³⁶ What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come?

⁷ When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]––He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone; ⁸ and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground. ⁹ And, they who heard, began to go out, one by one, beginning from the elders,––and he was left, alone; the woman also, being, in the midst. ¹⁰ And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her––Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?

²¹ He said unto them again, therefore––I, go, and ye shall seek me,––and yet, in your sin, shall ye die: Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come. ²² The Jews, therefore, were saying––Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come? ²³ And he was saying unto them––Ye, are, of the realms below, I, am, of the realms above: Ye, are, of this world, I, am not of this world. ²⁴ Therefore said I unto you, Ye shall die in your sins: For, if ye believe not that, I, am he, ye shall die in your sins.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered, and said unto him––Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁷ and said unto him––Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam,––which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.

³⁸ And, he, said––I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.

¹⁰ But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.

²⁵ He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age–abiding, shall guard it.

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.

³⁸ that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said––Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?

³³ Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now.

⁵ But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me––Whither goest thou? ⁶ But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
⁷ But, I, the truth, am telling you––It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.

¹⁶ A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me. ¹⁷ Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another––What is this which he is saying to us:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and––Because I go my way unto the Father? ¹⁸ They were saying, therefore––What is this which he saith:––A little while? We know not [what he is saying]. 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? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you––Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned. ²¹ A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born. ²² And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice,––and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.

¹¹ And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world,––and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we. ¹² When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me,––And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction,––save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled. ¹³ But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves.

³⁶ Jesus answered––My kingdom, is not of this world: If, of this world, had been my kingdom, mine own officers, would have been striving, that I should not be delivered up unto the Jews: but, now, my kingdom, is not from hence.

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.

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; ⁸ But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.

⁵ And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working. ⁷ For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured. ⁸ And there came to be great joy in that city. ⁹ But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria,––saying that himself was someone great: ¹⁰ Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying––This, is the Power of God, which is called Great. ¹¹ And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them. ¹² But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip,––and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
¹⁴ And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John; ¹⁵ Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; –– ¹⁶ For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money, ¹⁹ Saying––Give unto me also this authority,––in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit. ²⁰ And Peter said unto him––Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free–gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained! ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God. ²² Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord––whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee; ²³ For see that thou servest as a gall–root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And Simon, answering, said––Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye have spoken! ²⁵ They, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.

²⁵ And, when it came about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage. ²⁶ But, Peter, raised him up, saying––Arise! I also myself, am, a man.

²¹ Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,

¹² All, have turned aside, together, have become useless, There is none that doeth kindness, not so much as one:

⁴ But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal. ⁵ Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being. ⁶ If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour! ⁷ What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained:––the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; ––

³⁵ Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

²⁰ But––if thine enemy hunger, be feeding him, if he thirst, be giving him drink; for, this doing, coals of fire, shalt thou heap upon his head.

¹³ No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather––not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;

²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat,–– ²¹ Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.

¹⁷ But I beseech you, brethren, to keep an eye upon them who are causing divisions and occasions of stumbling, aside from the teaching which, ye, have learned,––and be turning away from them;

⁷ So that ye come short in no gift of favour,––ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹¹ In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge––the brother for whose sake Christ died. ¹² But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning. ¹³ Therefore, if food is an occasion of stumbling unto my brother, in nowise will I eat flesh unto the age that abideth,––that, I may not occasion, my brother, to stumble.

¹⁵ I, however, have not used any of these things; and have not written these things, in order that, so it should be done, in my case; for it were, good for me, rather to die than––––my boast, shall, no man, make void! ¹⁶ For, if I be telling the glad–message, it is, with me, no matter of boasting; for, necessity, upon me, lieth,––for it is, Woe to me, if I should not be telling the glad–message; ¹⁷ For, if, by choice, this thing I am doing, I have, a reward; but, if not by choice, with a stewardship, have I been entrusted!

²² I became, unto the weak, weak,––that, the weak, I might win; ––to all men, have I become all things, that, by all means, some, I might save.

⁶ But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted; ⁷ Neither become ye, idolaters, as some of them,––as it is written––The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to be making sport; ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as, some of them, committed fornication, and there fell, in one day, three and twenty thousand; ⁹ Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing; ¹⁰ Neither be ye murmuring, even, as some of them, murmured, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹ But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along. ¹² So that, he that thinketh he is standing, let him take heed lest he fall.

³² Give no occasion of stumbling––whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God:

¹⁹ For there must needs be, even parties among you, that, the approved, [themselves] may become manifest among you.

² And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge,––and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;

⁴ Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base, ⁶ Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth,–– ⁷ All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.

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. ¹⁰ But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void,––but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

⁸ In this behalf, thrice, besought I, the Lord, that it might depart from me; ⁹ And at once he said unto me––Sufficient for thee, is my favour, for, my power, in weakness, is made complete. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may spread a tent over me. ¹⁰ Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, and straits, in behalf of Christ; for, as soon as I am weak, then, am powerful.

¹¹ But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned; ¹² For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision; ¹³ And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad–message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?

³¹ All bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and outcry, and profane speaking, let it be taken away from you, with all baseness; ³² And be ye gracious one to another, tenderly affectionate, in favour forgiving one another––even as, God also, in Christ, hath in favour forgiven you;

¹⁵ Be taking heed, therefore, exactly how ye are walking,––not as unwise, but as wise,––

⁷ But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss; ⁸ Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,

⁸ Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,
⁹ And be found in him––not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith,––

¹³ I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.

²⁷ Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,––

¹² Put on, therefore, as men chosen of God, holy and beloved, tender affections of compassion, graciousness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long–suffering, ¹³ Bearing one with another, and in favour forgiving one another––if any, against any, have a complaint,––according as, the Lord, in favour forgave you, so also ye;

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.

¹⁶ Because, the Lord himself, with a word of command, with a chief–messenger’s voice, and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven,––and, the dead in Christ, shall rise, first, ¹⁷ After that, we, the living who are left, together with them, shall be caught away, in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:––and, thus, evermore, with the Lord, shall we be!

¹ But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,––ye have, no need, that, unto you, anything be written; ² For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know––that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh;

² For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know––that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh; ³ As soon as they begin to say––Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction,––just as the birth–throe unto her that is with child,––and in nowise shall they escape.

³ We are bound, to be giving thanks, unto God, continually, concerning you, brethren, even as it is, meet; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all one to another aboundeth,

⁷ And, unto you that are afflicted, release, with us,––by the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his messengers of power,

² That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm––either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:

⁸ And, then, shall be revealed the lawless one,––whom, the Lord [Jesus], will slay with the Spirit of his mouth, and paralyse with the forthshining of his Presence:––

¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; –– ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,–– ¹² In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well–pleased with the unrighteousness.

¹³ But, ye, brethren, be not weary in well–doing; –– ¹⁴ And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark––not to be mixing yourselves up with him,––that he may be reproved;

¹¹ Him who, at one time, was, unto thee, unserviceable, but, now, unto thee and unto me, serviceable;

³⁸ But, my righteous one, by faith, shall live, and, if he draw back, my soul delighteth not in him. ³⁹ We, however, are not of a drawing back unto destruction, but, of faith, unto an acquisition of life.

⁷ By faith, Noah, having received intimation concerning the things not yet seen, filled with reverence, prepared an ark to the saving of his house––through which he condemned the world, and, of the righteousness by way of faith, became heir.

² Looking away unto our faith’s Princely–leader and perfecter, Jesus,––who, in consideration of the joy lying before him, endured a cross, shame, despising! And, on the right hand of the throne of God, hath taken his seat.

¹⁵ Using oversight––lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God,––lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled:

¹ Come now! ye wealthy! Weep ye, howling, for your hardships which are coming upon you: ² Your wealth, hath rotted, and, your garments, have become, moth–eaten,–– ³ Your gold and silver, have rusted away, and, their rust, shall be, witness against you, and shall eat your flesh, as fire! Ye have laid up treasure in days of extremity:–– ⁴ Lo, the wage of the workers who have out down your fields––that which hath been kept back, by you, is crying out; and, the outcries of them who reaped, into the ears of the Lord of hosts, have entered: ⁵ Ye have luxuriated upon the land, and run riot, ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter;

⁸ Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near.

¹⁹ My brethren! If one among you be led to err from the truth, and one turn him back,

⁷ In order that the proving of your faith––much more precious than of gold that perisheth even though, by means of fire, it is proved––may be found unto praise and glory and honour in the revealing of Jesus Christ,––

¹³ Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, keeping sober, perseveringly direct your hope unto the favour, being borne along to you, in the revealing of Jesus Christ:

²² Having purified, your souls, by the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly; ²³ Having been regenerated––Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible––through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God;

¹⁹ In which, even unto the spirits in prison, he went and proclaimed,–– ²⁰ [Spirits] unyielding at one time, when the longsuffering of God was holding forth a welcome in the days of Noah, there being in preparation an ark––[going] into which, a few, that is eight, souls, were brought safely through by means of water,––

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:

⁵ In like manner, ye younger men––submit yourselves unto elders; ––All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour. ⁶ Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time,––

¹ But there arose false–prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false–teachers,––men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction; ² And, many, will follow out their wanton ways,––by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
³ And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.

⁵ And, an ancient world, spared not, but, with seven others, preserved, Noah, a proclaimer, of righteousness, a flood, upon a world of ungodly persons, letting loose,–– ⁶ And, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing to ashes, he condemned, an example of such as should be ungodly, having set forth,––

⁹ [Then] the Lord knoweth how to rescue, the godly out of trial; but to keep, the unrighteous unto a day of judgment to be punished; ––

¹⁸ For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings––in wanton ways––them who are, well–nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour; ¹⁹ Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption,––for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved,–– ²⁰ For, if, having escaped from the defilements of the world by a personal knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but, by the same having again become entangled, they are defeated, the, last, state hath become, for them, worse than, the first; ²¹ For, better, had it been for them––not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them. ²² There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb––A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and––A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.

⁶ By which means, the world that then was, with water being flooded, perished;

¹⁰ Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief,––in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.

⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned,––but, a full reward, ye may duly receive.

⁷ As, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner to these given themselves over to fornication, and gone away after other kind of flesh, lie exposed as an example, a penalty of age–abiding fire, undergoing.

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.

¹⁰ Do not fear the things which thou art about to suffer. Lo! the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and may have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, I have against thee, a few things,––that thou hast there, such as hold fast the teaching of Balaam,––who went on to teach Balak to throw a cause of stumbling before the sons of Israel, to eat idol–sacrifices and to commit lewdness:

²⁰ Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol–sacrifices;

¹⁰ the four and twenty elders will fall down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and do homage unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages,––and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying––

¹⁴ And the four living creatures continued saying––Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.

⁸ And their dead bodies [lie] upon the broadway of the great city, the which is called, spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where, their Lord also was crucified.

¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live. ¹⁵ And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild–beast, in order that the image of the wild–beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild–beast, should be slain. ¹⁶ And he causeth all––the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond,––that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon their forehead; ¹⁷ [and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here, is, wisdom: he that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is, the number of a man; and, his number, is 666.

⁷ saying with a loud voice,––Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judging is come; and do homage unto him that made heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.

⁴ And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures, fell down, and did homage unto God, who sitteth upon the throne, saying––Amen! Hallelujah!
⁵ And, a voice, from the throne, came forth, saying––Be giving praise unto our God, all ye his servants, ye that revere him, the small and the great.

¹⁰ And I fell down at his feet, to do him homage; and he saith unto me––See! [thou do it] not! A fellow–servant, am I, of thee and of thy brethren who have the witness of Jesus: unto God, do homage! For, the witness of Jesus, is the spirit of the prophecy.

¹⁷ And I saw one messenger, standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying, unto all the birds that fly in mid–heaven,––Hither! be gathered together unto the great supper of God,–– ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them who sit upon them, and the flesh of all, both free and bond, and small and great.
