2 Timothy 4 Cross References - YLT

¹ I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign— ² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching, ³ for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers—itching in the hearing, ⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside. ⁵ And thou—watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance, ⁶ for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived; ⁷ the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept, ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord—the Righteous Judge—shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
⁹ Be diligent to come unto me quickly, ¹⁰ for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia, ¹¹ Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration; ¹² and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus; ¹³ the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books—especially the parchments. ¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works, ¹⁵ of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;
¹⁶ in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!) ¹⁷ and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion, ¹⁸ and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me —to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen. ¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus' household; ²⁰ Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in Miletus infirm; ²¹ be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. ²² The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit; the grace is with you! Amen.

²⁷ `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.

³¹ `And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory; <sup>32</sup> and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats, <sup>33</sup> and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left. <sup>34</sup> `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world; ³⁵ for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me; ³⁶ naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me. ³⁷ `Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink? <sup>38</sup> and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around? <sup>39</sup> and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee? <sup>40</sup> `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren—the least—to me ye did it . ⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; ⁴² for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink; ⁴³ a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me. ⁴⁴ `Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee? <sup>45</sup> `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

¹² He said therefore, `A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

¹⁵ `And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.

⁴² and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'

²² for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, ²³ that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ `Verily, verily, I say to you—He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life. <sup>25</sup> `Verily, verily, I say to you—There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live; ²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, ²⁷ and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

⁴² and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead—

³¹ because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. ¹⁰ And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; ¹¹ for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

⁴ for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right—and he who is discerning me is the Lord: ⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

⁹ Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him, ¹⁰ for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things done through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

⁴ when the Christ—our life—may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

¹⁵ for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living—who do remain over to the presence of the Lord—may not precede those asleep, ¹⁶ because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

⁷ and to you who are troubled—rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power, ⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ who shall suffer justice—destruction age-during—from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, ¹⁰ when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing—because our testimony was believed among you—in that day;

⁸ and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

²¹ I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.

¹³ I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession, ¹⁴ that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁴ These things remind them of, testifying fully before the Lord—not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord—the Righteous Judge—shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

¹³ waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

²⁷ and as it is laid up to men once to die, and after this—judgment, ²⁸ so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him—to salvation!

⁷ that the proof of your faith—much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved—may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

⁵ who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead,

⁴ and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

¹¹ for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son—the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'

²⁸ And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

⁷ Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them; ¹² and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—according to their works; ¹³ and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works; ¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire—this is the second death; ¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

⁹ I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands. ² To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners. ³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah—to be beautified.'

² `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;'

¹⁸ `The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance, ¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.'

⁴ And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying—`He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

²³ and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'

⁶⁰ and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

⁶ and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour; ⁷ there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;' <sup>8</sup> for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals; <sup>9</sup> the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

³² and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.' <sup>33</sup> The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?' ³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

⁵ and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John as a ministrant;

¹³ on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved—thou and thy house;' ³² and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household; ³³ and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

⁷ And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

¹⁸ and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye—ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was; ¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against me; ²⁰ how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house, ²¹ testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.

³⁰ and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired house, and was receiving all those coming in unto him, ³¹ preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.

¹⁵ and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

⁶ And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing—in all good things.

²⁵ of which I—I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,

²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, ²⁹ for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.

¹¹ even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying, ¹² for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign and glory.

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

²⁰ prophesyings despise not;

¹³ till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;

¹⁵ of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things; ¹⁶ take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.

²⁰ Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;

²¹ if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master—to every good work having been prepared,

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing—if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

¹⁰ And thou—thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

¹³ this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

¹⁵ these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!

²² And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

³³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Whoso hath sinned against Me—I blot him out of My book;

²² And Elijah saith unto the people, `I—I have been left a prophet of Jehovah—by myself; and the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men;

⁸ And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet—one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil—Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.'

¹⁸ And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Have I not said unto thee, He doth not prophesy of me good, but evil?'

⁹ for Jehovah—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong for a people whose heart is perfect towards Him; thou hast been foolish concerning this, because—henceforth there are with thee wars.' ¹⁰ And Asa is angry at the seer, and giveth him to the house of torture, for he is in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresseth some of the people at that time.

⁴ And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I pray thee, this day, the word of Jehovah.' <sup>5</sup> And the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, four hundred men, and saith unto them, `Do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?' And they say, `Go up, and God doth give it into the hand of the king.'

²⁰ and the Spirit of God hath clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he standeth over-against the people, and saith to them, `Thus said God, Why are ye transgressing the commands of Jehovah, and prosper not? because ye have forsaken Jehovah—He doth forsake you.' <sup>21</sup> And they conspire against him, and stone him with stones by the command of the king, in the court of the house of Jehovah, <sup>22</sup> and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in his death he said, `Jehovah doth see, and require.'

¹⁵ And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, `Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of thy hand?' <sup>16</sup> And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he saith to him, `For a counsellor to the king have we appointed thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet ceaseth, and saith, `I have known that God hath counselled to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.'

¹² Unto whom He hath said, `This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this—the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,

⁹ Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel. ¹⁰ Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up. ¹¹ Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! —fire devoureth you.

³¹ The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved it so, And what do they at its latter end?

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah: Stand ye by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where is this—the good way? and go ye in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, `We do not go.' <sup>17</sup> And I have raised up for you watchmen, Attend ye to the voice of the trumpet. And they say, `We do not attend.'

¹⁸ And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Ye do not hearken unto the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, A vision of their own heart they speak, Not from the mouth of Jehovah. ¹⁷ Saying diligently to those despising The word of Jehovah: Peace is for you, And to every one walking in the stubbornness of his heart they have said: Evil doth not come in unto you.

⁹ `And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, —

⁸ `For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Let not your prophets who are in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor hearken ye unto their dreams, that ye are causing them to dream;

¹⁰ And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sendeth unto Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, `Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words, <sup>11</sup> for thus said Amos: By sword die doth Jeroboam, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.' <sup>12</sup> And Amaziah saith unto Amos, `Seer, go flee for thee unto the land of Judah, and eat there bread, and there thou dost prophesy; ¹³ and at Beth-El do not add to prophesy any more, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.' ¹⁴ And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, `I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son am I, but a herdsman I am, and a cultivator of sycamores, ¹⁵ and Jehovah taketh me from after the flock, and Jehovah saith unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel. ¹⁶ And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop any thing against the house of Isaac, ¹⁷ therefore thus said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.'

¹¹ If one is going with the wind, And with falsehood hath lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of this people!

²⁶ `Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you—for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

¹⁹ And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil; ²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected; ²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

⁴⁵ `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

²¹ and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.

¹ And I, having come unto you, brethren, came—not in superiority of discourse or wisdom—declaring to you the testimony of God,

⁴ and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—

¹⁶ so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

¹⁰ whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,

¹ And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons, ² in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience, ³ forbidding to marry—to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,

¹ And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times, ² for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind, ³ without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good, ⁴ traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away, ⁶ for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

¹ And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction, ² and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of,
³ and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.

³² For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them.

¹¹ And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.

⁵⁷ And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,

⁴ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: —

⁷ and the profane and old women's fables reject thou, and exercise thyself unto piety,

²⁰ O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

¹⁵ thou hast known this, that they did turn from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;

²⁵ the grace is with you all! Amen.

¹⁶ For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty—

⁹ Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest. ¹⁰ Blind are his watchmen—all of them, They have not known, All of them are dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.

⁶ `On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,

¹⁷ And I have raised up for you watchmen, Attend ye to the voice of the trumpet. And they say, `We do not attend.'

¹⁷ that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them from Me.

² `Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land—when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.

⁷ And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.

³⁴ as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

³⁷ and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'

³⁷ `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

³⁰ and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

⁸ and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,

¹⁹ in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

¹¹ and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

¹⁷ and say to Archippus, `See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'

⁶ so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

¹² let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

¹⁵ of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;

⁸ therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

³ thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

¹⁰ And thou—thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance, ¹¹ the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me, ¹² and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

¹⁷ Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this is unprofitable to you.

¹³ Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

² become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God.

²¹ And Israel saith unto Joseph, `Lo, I am dying, and God hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto the land of your fathers;

²⁴ And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'

¹² And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel; <sup>13</sup> and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered, <sup>14</sup> because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the company—to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes;' they are waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
<sup>15</sup> And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying, <sup>16</sup> `Jehovah—God of the spirits of all flesh—appoint a man over the company, ¹⁷ who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them, and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.'

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,

¹⁴ `And lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing.

²³ for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

¹⁴ having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me, ¹⁵ and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.

²³ Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

¹⁵ `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain it, and bear fruit in continuance.

²⁸ And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

²⁵ and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not he, but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of his feet.

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

²⁴ have ye not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain; ²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible; ²⁶ I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air; ²⁷ but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,

¹² be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.

¹⁴ the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;

¹ Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us, ² looking to the author and perfecter of faith—Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him—did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

⁸ I have known thy works; lo, I have set before thee a door—opened, and no one is able to shut it, because thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name;

¹⁰ `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

²⁵ Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been—as the righteous so the wicked—far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'

¹¹ God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

¹⁹ How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,

⁹ She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.

¹⁷ And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him.

¹⁹ `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal, ²⁰ but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

³⁶ `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except my Father only;

¹² and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

²³ And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting—the redemption of our body;

⁹ but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him—'

²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

² for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

⁴ and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer, ⁶ since it is a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you—trouble,

¹⁹ treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.

¹² for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard—to that day.

¹⁸ may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

⁵ and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

¹ I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign—

²⁸ so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him—to salvation!

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁴ to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

⁴ And around the throne are thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;

¹⁰ fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹¹ And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war,

²⁰ he saith—who is testifying these things—`Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

⁴ desiring greatly to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that with joy I may be filled,

²¹ be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

⁵⁶ but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁶¹ And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;' <sup>62</sup> and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

²⁶ `If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple; ²⁷ and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

³³ `So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.

¹³ `No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'

³² remember the wife of Lot.

¹³ And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

³⁸ and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

⁶ and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

¹ And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,

¹¹ and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;

¹³ And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes;

²³ And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

¹³ I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

⁶ but He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;

⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour,

¹⁶ And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,

² and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

¹ Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus; ² and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run; ³ but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—

²¹ for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas; ¹⁵ salute ye those in Laodicea—brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;

¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; —

¹⁶ in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)

⁴ to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

²⁴ Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!

¹⁵ having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,

¹⁵ Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, ¹⁶ because all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life—is not of the Father, but of the world,

⁴ because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world—our faith; ⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁴ I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.

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

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'

³⁰ and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.'

¹² also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.

²⁵ and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

³⁹ there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

¹⁰ and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,

¹⁰ Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands—if he may come unto you receive him,)

¹⁴ Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;

¹³ Salute you doth the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.

⁴ And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;

¹⁶ for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.
¹⁷ And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

²⁵ `And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, —ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

²¹ And that ye may know—ye also—the things concerning me—what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord,

⁷ All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus—the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord—

³ according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,

¹² When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.

⁸ and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

¹¹ having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,

⁵ these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas, ⁶ and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
⁷ And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight, ⁸ and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together, ⁹ and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window—being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long—he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead. ¹⁰ And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced him, said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in him;' ¹¹ and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked—till daylight, so he went forth, ¹² and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

²⁷ in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

¹² `Jehovah doth judge between me and thee, and Jehovah hath avenged me of thee, and my hand is not on thee;

³⁹ and I to-day am tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.'

⁴ Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their deed to them.

¹² And with Thee, O Lord, is kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!

⁵ And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand. ⁷ In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin. ⁸ His days are few, his oversight another taketh, ⁹ His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places. ¹¹ An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour. ¹² He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans. ¹³ His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out. ¹⁴ The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. ¹⁵ They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial. ¹⁶ Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart—to slay, ¹⁷ And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. ¹⁸ And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. ¹⁹ It is to him as apparel—he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on. ²⁰ This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

¹⁵ Thou, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy long-suffering take me not away, Know—I have borne for Thee reproach.

¹⁹ Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me. ²⁰ Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle, ²² A cry is heard from their houses, For Thou bringest against them suddenly a troop, For they dug a pit to capture me, And snares they have hidden for my feet. ²³ And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known, All their counsel against me is for death, Thou dost not cover over their iniquity, Nor their sin from before Thee blottest out, And they are made to stumble before Thee, In the time of Thine anger work against them!

³³ and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace, ³⁴ and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, `Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!'

¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance is Mine,

⁶ since it is a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you—trouble,

²⁰ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

¹⁰ and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?'

⁶ Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.

²⁰ `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

¹⁶ `Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves. ¹⁷ And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,

² look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;

⁸ and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

¹¹ Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me. ¹² I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel. ¹³ For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

⁵⁰ And having left him they all fled;

³² and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

⁶⁰ and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.

¹ `Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defence now unto you;' —

¹⁶ unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him .

³ My defence to those who examine me in this;

¹¹ for, lo, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

⁷ according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

¹⁷ and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,

¹⁵ and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And be ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

³⁷ And David saith, `Jehovah, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He doth deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul saith unto David, `Go, and Jehovah is with thee.'

²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion: —And—from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity. ⁴⁰ And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

³¹ For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

² The fear of a king is a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul.

¹⁵ A growling lion, and a ranging bear, Is the wicked ruler over a poor people.

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for with thee I am, Look not around, for I am thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.

¹⁴ Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

³⁰ In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not accepted, Devoured hath your sword your prophets, As a destroying lion.

²⁰ And I have made thee to this people For a wall—brazen—fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee am I to save thee, And to deliver thee—an affirmation of Jehovah, ²¹ And I have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible!

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear is round about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching for my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.' ¹¹ And Jehovah is with me, as a terrible mighty one, Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Confusion age-during is not forgotten.

²² my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'

²⁷ A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth is He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.'

¹⁹ `And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;

¹⁵ for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.

¹⁵ And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings—the sons also of Israel;

⁹ And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent; ¹⁰ because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

¹¹ And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.'

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

²³ for there stood by me this night a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve— ²⁴ saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

²⁵ And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent, ²⁶ and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith—

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

⁸ to me—the less than the least of all the saints—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,

¹² And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come, ¹³ so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places—all, ¹⁴ and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold—fearlessly to speak the word.

¹² And I give thanks to him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration,

¹¹ the persecutions, the afflictions, that befell me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me,

³³ who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

¹⁶ the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'

³⁹ and David heareth that Nabal is dead, and saith, `Blessed is Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.

¹⁰ And Jabez calleth to the God of Israel, saying, `If blessing Thou dost bless me, then Thou hast made great my border, and Thy hand hath been with me, and Thou hast kept me from evil—not to grieve me;' and God bringeth in that which he asked.

²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

²⁴ With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.

¹⁰ And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.

⁴³ `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.

³⁴ `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

⁴ and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.'

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

²⁹ and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish—to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; ²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; ³⁰ I and the Father are one.'

¹⁵ I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory—to the ages. Amen.

²⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him be glory to the ages. Amen.

¹³ No temptation hath taken you—except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it .

¹⁰ who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

⁵ to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

²³ and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

³ and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard you from the evil;

¹⁷ and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honour and glory—to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory—to the ages of the ages! Amen.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

¹¹ to Him is the glory, and the power—to the ages and the ages! Amen.

¹ Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept—called,

² and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,

¹⁸ And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria—and with him are Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn his head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;

²⁶ this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to them, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,

³ Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus— ⁴ who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations—

¹⁹ Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

¹⁶ may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed, ¹⁷ but being in Rome, very diligently he sought me, and found; ¹⁸ may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

²² and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia.

¹⁵ and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

¹⁷ And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

²⁹ for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.

²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

²⁶ seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed, ²⁷ for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

²¹ Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; ²² I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; ²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

²⁰ salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

¹³ salute you do all the saints;

²² there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;

⁹ Be diligent to come unto me quickly,

¹³ the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books—especially the parchments.

¹³ salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.
¹⁴ and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days—till the full end of the age.'

⁷ to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.

¹⁸ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace is with you. Amen.

²¹ which certain professing—concerning the faith did swerve; the grace is with you. Amen.

²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit! Amen.

¹⁴ Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus! Amen.

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen.
