Galatians 6 Cross References - YLT

¹ Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself—lest thou also may be tempted; ² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ, ³ for if any one doth think himself to be something—being nothing—himself he doth deceive; ⁴ and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other, ⁵ for each one his own burden shall bear. ⁶ And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing—in all good things. ⁷ Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that also he shall reap, ⁸ because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; ⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap—not desponding; ¹⁰ therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.
¹¹ Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand; ¹² as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised—only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted, ¹³ for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory. ¹⁴ And for me, let it not be—to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world; ¹⁵ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; ¹⁶ and as many as by this rule do walk—peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God! ¹⁷ Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear. ¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brethren! Amen.

²⁰ And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard, ²¹ and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent. ²² And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without. ²³ And Shem taketh—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces are backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.
²⁴ And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,

¹¹ and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou art a woman of beautiful appearance; <sup>12</sup> and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This is his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive: ¹³ say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'

¹⁰ and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly unto the front of the rock, and he saith to them, `Hear, I pray you, O rebels, from this rock do we bring out to you water?' <sup>11</sup> and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts. <sup>12</sup> And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, `Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.' ¹³ These are waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have `striven' with Jehovah, and He is sanctified upon them.

² and it cometh to pass, at evening-time, that David riseth from off his couch, and walketh up and down on the roof of the king's house, and seeth from the roof a woman bathing, and the woman is of very good appearance, ³ and David sendeth and inquireth about the woman, and saith, `Is not this Bath-Sheba, daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the Hittite?' <sup>4</sup> And David sendeth messengers, and taketh her, and she cometh unto him, and he lieth with her—and she is purifying herself from her uncleanness—and she turneth back unto her house; <sup>5</sup> and the woman conceiveth, and sendeth, and declareth to David, and saith, `I am conceiving.'
⁶ And David sendeth unto Joab, `Send unto me Uriah the Hittite,' and Joab sendeth Uriah unto David; <sup>7</sup> and Uriah cometh unto him, and David asketh of the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. <sup>8</sup> And David saith to Uriah, `Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet;' and Uriah goeth out of the king's house, and there goeth out after him a gift from the king, ⁹ and Uriah lieth down at the opening of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and hath not gone down unto his house. ¹⁰ And they declare to David, saying, `Uriah hath not gone down unto his house;' and David saith unto Uriah, `Hast thou not come from a journey? wherefore hast thou not gone down unto thy house?' ¹¹ And Uriah saith unto David, `The ark, and Israel, and Judah, are abiding in booths, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, on the face of the field are encamping; and I—I go in unto my house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife! —thy life, and the life of thy soul—if I do this thing.' <sup>12</sup> And David saith unto Uriah, `Abide in this place also to-day, and to-morrow I send thee away;' and Uriah abideth in Jerusalem, on that day, and on the morrow, ¹³ and David calleth for him, and he eateth before him, and drinketh, and he causeth him to drink, and he goeth out in the evening to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, and unto his house he hath not gone down.
¹⁴ And it cometh to pass in the morning, that David writeth a letter unto Joab, and sendeth by the hand of Uriah; ¹⁵ and he writeth in the letter, saying, `Place ye Uriah over-against the front of the severest battle, and ye have turned back from after him, and he hath been smitten, and hath died.'

² The rich hath flocks and herds very many; ³ And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter; ⁴ And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.' ⁵ And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death is the man who is doing this, <sup>6</sup> and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.' <sup>7</sup> And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou art the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; ⁸ and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such things . ⁹ `Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon. <sup>10</sup> `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife; ¹¹ thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun; ¹² for thou hast done it in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.' ¹³ And David saith unto Nathan, `I have sinned against Jehovah.' And Nathan saith unto David, `Also—Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die; ¹⁴ only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'
¹⁵ And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;

³ Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong. ⁴ The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.

³ Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees strengthen. ⁴ Say to the hastened of heart, `Be strong, Fear not, lo, your God; vengeance cometh, The recompence of God, He Himself doth come and save you.'

¹⁶ The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

¹³ but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

¹² `What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not—having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains—seek that which is gone astray? <sup>13</sup> and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray; <sup>14</sup> so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
<sup>15</sup> `And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;

⁶⁹ And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him—`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

⁴ `What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? <sup>5</sup> and having found, he doth lay it on his shoulders rejoicing, <sup>6</sup> and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one. <sup>7</sup> `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

²² `And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet; <sup>23</sup> and having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we may be merry, <sup>24</sup> because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry. <sup>25</sup> `And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing, ²⁶ and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be, ²⁷ and he said to him—Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back. ²⁸ `And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him; <sup>29</sup> and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry; <sup>30</sup> but when thy son—this one who did devour thy living with harlots—came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf. <sup>31</sup> `And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all my things are thine; ³² but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'

⁶ for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;

¹ And him who is weak in the faith receive ye—not to determinations of reasonings;

¹ And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

¹ And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babes in Christ;

²¹ what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?

⁵ Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

¹² so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.

³⁷ if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you—that of the Lord they are commands;

⁷ so that, on the contrary, it is rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

¹ And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

¹¹ And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy, ¹² for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision, ¹³ and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

¹⁵ and as an enemy count him not, but admonish ye him as a brother;

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

¹³ and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;

³ be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

² for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

¹³ Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

¹⁹ Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

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;

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;

²² and to some be kind, judging thoroughly, ²³ and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.

⁵ when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving it to it—thou dost certainly leave it with him.

¹¹ And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Why hast Thou done evil to Thy servant? and why have I not found grace in Thine eyes—to put the burden of all this people upon me? ¹² I—have I conceived all this people? I—have I begotten it, that Thou sayest unto me, Carry it in thy bosom as the nursing father beareth the suckling, unto the ground which Thou hast sworn to its fathers?

¹² `How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

⁶ Is not this the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And every yoke ye draw off?

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, `Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.'

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, ³⁰ for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'

⁴⁶ and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, woe! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

¹⁴ if then I did wash your feet—the Lord and the Teacher—ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ `For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

³⁴ `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

² for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

²¹ to those without law, as without law—(not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) —that I might gain those without law;

¹³ For ye—to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, ¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled—in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

⁵ for each one his own burden shall bear.

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

⁸ If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' —ye do well;

²⁴ who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

⁸ again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine; ⁹ he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; ¹⁰ he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not; ¹¹ and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

²¹ and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

¹⁴ Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, Is a man boasting himself in a false gift.

¹² Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!

¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

² and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth him to know;

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God,

¹¹ I have become a fool—boasting; ye—ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles—even if I am nothing.

⁶ And from those who were esteemed to be something—whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me—the face of man God accepteth not, for—to me those esteemed did add nothing,

¹³ and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

²⁶ If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

⁸ if we may say—`we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

¹⁵ Lo, He doth slay me—I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.

² Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

¹⁴ From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man—from his fruits.

¹² and I say this, that each one of you saith, `I, indeed, am of Paul' —`and I of Apollos,' —`and I of Cephas,' —`and I of Christ.' ¹³ Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

²¹ So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours, ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours, ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

³ and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge, 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:

⁶ And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,
⁷ for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?

²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

¹² For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

¹² and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also; ¹³ for those such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

⁵ Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

¹³ for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory.

¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,
²⁰ because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God, ²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it is good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

¹⁰ I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

¹⁹ Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

⁴ Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son—they are Mine, The soul that is sinning—it doth die.

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.

⁶ who shall render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

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;' ¹² so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

⁸ and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

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.

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; ¹¹ having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

²³ and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you—to each—according to your works.

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.

¹² And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

¹⁹ take heed to thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy days on thy ground.

¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff—for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

²⁷ for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

⁹ for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God care? ¹⁰ or because of us by all means doth He say it ? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope. ¹¹ If we to you the spiritual things did sow—great is it if we your fleshly things do reap? ¹² if others do partake of the authority over you—not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ. ¹³ Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple—of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar—with the altar are partakers? ¹⁴ so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.

¹⁷ The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching, ¹⁸ for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and `Worthy is the workman of his reward.'

⁸ As I have seen—ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!

⁸ His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive? ⁹ Is it good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?

³¹ Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.

³¹ And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

¹⁴ Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

¹⁹ A false witness who doth breathe out lies—And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

¹⁸ The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness—a true reward.

⁹ `Thus said Jehovah: Lift not up your souls saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;

⁷ For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers do swallow it up.

¹² Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.

³ The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place is his habitation, He is saying in his heart, `Who doth bring me down to earth?')

²⁵ `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive—thou—thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

⁸ And he said, `See—ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying—I am he, and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;

⁶ who shall render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; ¹⁰ and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

⁹ have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

³³ Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

⁶ And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

³ for if any one doth think himself to be something—being nothing—himself he doth deceive;

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

³ let not any one deceive you in any manner, because—if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed—the son of the destruction,

⁷ Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

¹⁸ that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on,

⁵ Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap, ⁶ Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

⁸ Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.

⁶ In the morning sow thy seed, And at even withdraw not thy hand, For thou knowest not which is right, this or that, Or whether both of them alike are good.

²⁰ Happy are ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!

¹³ They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick—they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

¹³ Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.

²⁹ and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my name's sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during shall inherit;

³⁰ who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.'

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst—to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

³⁶ `And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal—even God.'

¹³ neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

²¹ what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death. ²² And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

¹³ for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought—for desires.

⁷ Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that also he shall reap,

¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

⁷ that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.

¹⁸ and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

¹² and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed—in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil—in their destruction shall be destroyed,

¹⁹ liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

²¹ yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ—to life age-during;

¹¹ he who is unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy—let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous—let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified—let him be sanctified still:

⁴ then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;

¹⁴ that I have given the rain of your land in its season—sprinkling and gathered—and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,

²⁷ All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.

¹⁵ The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season,

³⁰ Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble, ³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass to power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

¹⁶ In that day it is said to Jerusalem, `Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble.

¹³ And ye have said, `Lo, what a weariness,' And ye have puffed at it, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And ye have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah.

²² and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.

¹³ but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth us always to pray, and not to faint,

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during;

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹³ wherefore, I ask you not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹³ and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

⁶ and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.

¹⁴ for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

³⁵ Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward, ³⁶ for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise, ³⁷ for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry; ³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,' ³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain—early and latter;

¹⁵ because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;

¹⁷ for it is better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

¹⁹ so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing.

³ and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

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. ¹¹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron—as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken—as I also have received from my Father; ²⁸ and I will give to him the morning star. ²⁹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

⁵ He who is overcoming—this one—shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers. ⁶ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

¹² He who is overcoming—I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of the heaven from my God—also my new name. ¹³ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

²¹ He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne. ²² He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.'

³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell in the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

²⁷ Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

²⁷ Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand is toward God to do it .

¹² I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,

¹⁰ All that thy hand findeth to do, with thy power do, for there is no work, and device, and knowledge, and wisdom in Sheol whither thou art going.

⁴³ `Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;

²⁵ sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

⁴⁰ `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 .

⁴ And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.

³⁵ `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

⁴ it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

¹⁹ Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

¹⁵ of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁰ And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

⁵ in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

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; — ¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

⁸ Stedfast is the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works—who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;

¹⁶ and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.

¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;
¹⁴ we—we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death. ¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother—a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining, ¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down; ¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him—how doth the love of God remain in him? ¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth! ¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

¹ Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

⁵ Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers, ⁶ who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God, ⁷ because for His name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; ⁸ we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth.

¹¹ Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;

²² I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord;

²¹ The salutation of me Paul with my hand; ²² if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be anathema! The Lord hath come! ²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you;

² whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you—they have their reward!

⁵ `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places—standing—to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

¹⁶ `And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

⁵ `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

²⁸ so also ye outwardly indeed do appear to men righteous, and within ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, is abomination before God;

⁴⁷ who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'

¹⁸ `He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

¹ And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren—`If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;'

⁵ and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying—`It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'

¹² For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,

¹³ for those such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,

³ but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised—

¹⁴ But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize?

¹¹ And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away;

¹⁵ Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;

⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

¹⁸ for many walk of whom many times I told you—and now also weeping tell—the enemies of the cross of the Christ!

²³ which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body—not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh.

³ all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and do not;

¹⁵ `Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen—ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves.

²³ `Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law—the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved you to do, and those not to neglect.

¹⁷ Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God, ¹⁸ and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law, ¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law. ²¹ Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach? ²² thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples? ²³ thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour? ²⁴ for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written. ²⁵ For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

⁹ What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin, ¹⁰ according as it hath been written—`There is none righteous, not even one; ¹¹ There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God. ¹² All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. ¹³ A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. ¹⁵ Swift are their feet to shed blood. ¹⁶ Ruin and misery are in their ways. ¹⁷ And a way of peace they did not know. ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.'
¹⁹ And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

²¹ So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

⁶ Not good is your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

¹⁸ since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:

³ for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

⁹ And Jehoash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, `The thorn that is in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that is in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn. ¹⁰ Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?' ¹¹ And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that is Judah's,

²⁴ If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold have said, `My trust,' ²⁵ If I rejoice because great is my wealth, And because abundance hath my hand found,

⁶ Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.

¹ To the Overseer. —An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.

²⁴ Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him. ²⁵ In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.'

²³ Thus said Jehovah: Let not the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Let not the rich boast himself in his riches, ²⁴ But—in this let the boaster boast himself, In understanding and knowing Me, For I am Jehovah, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For in these I have delighted, An affirmation of Jehovah.

² `Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I am, The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou art man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God,

³⁰ the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour? ³¹ `While the word is in the king's mouth a voice from the heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee,

²⁰ and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him, ²¹ and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses is his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.

²³ save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain; 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.

¹⁶ for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

⁴ let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.' ⁵ And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) ⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

² let it not be! we who died to the sin—how shall we still live in it?

⁶ this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

²³ also we—we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

²⁹ that no flesh may glory before Him; ³⁰ and of Him ye—ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying—in the Lord let him glory.'

² for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, ¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.
¹⁶ So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

¹² and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;
¹¹ I have become a fool—boasting; ye—ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles—even if I am nothing.

⁴ who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father,

²⁰ with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
²¹ for to me to live is Christ, and to die gain.

⁷ But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss; ⁸ yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
⁹ not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ—the righteousness that is of God by the faith, ¹⁰ to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, ¹¹ if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

¹ If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated, ² the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth, ³ for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

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, ¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain—to the age.

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?

²⁸ For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;

¹ There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.

¹⁷ so that if any one is in Christ—he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

⁶ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

¹⁰ and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him; ¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman—but the all and in all—Christ.

⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

²³ `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do bless the sons of Israel, saying to them, <sup>24</sup> `Jehovah bless thee and keep thee; ²⁵ `Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee; <sup>26</sup> `Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee—peace. ²⁷ `And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I—I do bless them.'

¹⁸ And the Spirit hath clothed Amasai, head of the captains: `To thee, O David, and with thee, O son of Jesse—peace! peace to thee, and peace to thy helper, for thy God hath helped thee;' and David receiveth them, and putteth them among the heads of the troop.

¹ A Psalm of Asaph. Only—good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

⁴ Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts. ⁵ As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

²⁵ In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.'

¹⁰ and the number of the sons of Israel hath been as the sand of the sea, that is not measured nor numbered, and it hath come to pass in the place where it is said to them, Ye are not My people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God;

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'

²⁷ `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

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!

²⁸ For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh; ²⁹ but a Jew is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God.

¹² and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

⁶ And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel; ⁷ nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children, but—`in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' ⁸ that is, the children of the flesh—these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;

³ Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁷ know ye, then, that those of faith—these are sons of Abraham, ⁸ and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham— ⁹ `Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

²⁹ and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise—heirs.

¹⁶ And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

²⁵ if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

¹⁶ but to what we have come—by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

⁷ and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

⁵ and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: `Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;' ⁷ to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner, ⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence—who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, —to which also they were set; ⁹ and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

²⁵ And Joshua saith, `What! thou hast troubled us! —Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,

⁵ This one saith, For Jehovah I am, And this calleth himself by the name of Jacob, And this one writeth with his hand, `For Jehovah,' and by the name of Israel surnameth himself.

²⁴ seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,

⁵ because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

¹⁰ at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? —as beside myself I speak—I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times; ²⁴ from Jews five times forty stripes save one I did receive; ²⁵ thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

⁷ that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ;

¹¹ And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away; ¹² O that even they would cut themselves off who are unsettling you!

²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

¹⁵ looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

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!

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,

¹⁴ the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit; the grace is with you! Amen.

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

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