⁶ Naked is Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

¹⁷ Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see?

⁹ Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

¹³ From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men. ¹⁴ From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth; ¹⁵ Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

²¹ Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

¹¹ And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me. ¹² Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as is darkness so is light.

³ In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.

¹¹ Sheol and destruction are before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.

¹⁴ For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'

²³ And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction. ²⁴ And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work—

²¹ `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. 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?

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; ³² 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,

²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men,

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. ²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

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

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 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.

¹ A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

¹⁹ The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;

⁵¹ and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

¹¹ who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'

²¹ whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

³⁴ who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also doth intercede for us.

¹⁰ he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things—

² in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; ³ who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might—through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

⁸ and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy reign;

¹ Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

⁵ and Moses indeed was stedfast in all his house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken, 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.

²⁰ whither a forerunner for us did enter—Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become—to the age.

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God—ever living to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us—kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

¹ And the sum concerning the things spoken of is : we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

¹² neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

²⁴ for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter—figures of the true—but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us;

²³ may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),

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;

⁹ `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye—ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.

⁹ And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich are his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor is deceit in his mouth.

⁸ How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.

¹⁶ And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill, ¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, `Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.'

²⁰ a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory,

² forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,

²⁸ `And ye—ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross,

¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people, ¹⁸ for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹⁴ Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession,

² able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us—kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

⁵ and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he may take away, and sin is not in him;

¹⁷ `And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; <sup>18</sup> and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; <sup>19</sup> and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends. <sup>20</sup> `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces are one towards another—towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs. ²¹ `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee; ²² and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which are on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

² yea, Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto Aaron thy brother, and he cometh not in at all times unto the sanctuary within the vail, unto the front of the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark, and he dieth not, for in a cloud I am seen upon the mercy-seat.

¹¹ And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;

¹¹ In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it is not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near, ⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

⁷ `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; <sup>8</sup> for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. <sup>9</sup> `Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf—a stone will he present to him? ¹⁰ and if a fish he may ask—a serpent will he present to him? ¹¹ if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, 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: 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;

¹⁸ because through him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit unto the Father.

¹² in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

⁶ for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God; ⁷ and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God—ever living to make intercession for them.

⁵ and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly.

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which way he did initiate for us—new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh— ²¹ and a high priest over the house of God, ²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water; ²³ may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),

⁶ so that we do boldly say, `The Lord is to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'
