Romans 10 Cross References - YLT

¹ Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is—for salvation; ² for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge, ³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit. ⁴ For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing, ⁵ for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,' <sup>6</sup> and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down? ⁷ or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up. <sup>8</sup> But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying—in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach; ⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved, ¹⁰ for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; ¹¹ for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'
<sup>12</sup> for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him, <sup>13</sup> for every one—whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.' <sup>14</sup> How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching? <sup>15</sup> 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!' ¹⁶ But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?' <sup>17</sup> so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God, <sup>18</sup> but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed—`to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.' ¹⁹ But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, `I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,' <sup>20</sup> and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, `I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;' ²¹ and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'

²⁰ and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain; 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; ²² I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

¹ Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹⁷ because thou sayest—I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

¹⁷ `Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets—I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil; ¹⁸ for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.

¹⁷ for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, ³⁹ and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God— ²⁶ for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus. ²⁷ Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith: ²⁸ therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law. ²⁹ The God of Jews only is He, and not also of nations? ³⁰ yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith. ³¹ Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

¹ Are ye ignorant, brethren—for to those knowing law I speak—that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth? ² for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband; ³ so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's. ⁴ So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

³ for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

³⁰ and of Him ye—ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

²⁴ so that the law became our child-conductor—to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

¹⁰ and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body is of the Christ;

⁷ and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,
⁸ the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing; ⁹ which is a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving, ¹⁰ only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances—till the time of reformation imposed upon them . ¹¹ And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands—that is, not of this creation— 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; ¹³ for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

⁸ saying above—`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' —which according to the law are offered— <sup>9</sup> then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; ¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, ¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. ¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered—to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —

¹⁴ for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

⁵ and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I am Jehovah.

²⁹ and dost testify against them, to bring them back unto Thy law; and they—they have acted proudly, and have not hearkened to Thy commands, and against Thy judgments have sinned, —which man doth and hath lived in them—and they give a refractory shoulder, and their neck have hardened, and have not hearkened.

¹¹ And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth—liveth by them.

¹³ And—rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth—liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

²¹ And—the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed—to do them, Which the man who doth—liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.

²⁷ And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.' <sup>28</sup> And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

¹⁰ and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death;

¹² and the law is not by faith, but—`The man who did them shall live in them.'

¹¹ `For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor is it far off. ¹² It is not in the heavens, —saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it—that we may do it. ¹³ And it is not beyond the sea, —saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it—that we may do it? ¹⁴ For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart—to do it.

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

¹² if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe? ¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down—the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.'

²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God—

¹³ For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

³⁰ What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith, ³¹ and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

⁸ wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' — ⁹ and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things—

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,

⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

²⁰ And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep—in the blood of an age-during covenant—our Lord Jesus,

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer—righteous for unrighteous—that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

¹⁴ For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart—to do it.

¹⁹ Producing the fruit of the lips, `Peace, peace,' to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; ¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved—thou and thy house;'

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. ¹⁷ For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

¹⁷ so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

² this only do I wish to learn from you—by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

⁵ He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you—by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it ?

⁶ These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—to the age;

²⁵ and the saying of the Lord doth remain—to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

³² `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens; ³³ and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.

⁸ `And I say to you, Every one—whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil. ⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

²² These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him—Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

⁴² Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

²⁶ And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!' <sup>27</sup> then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put it to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.' ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;' <sup>29</sup> Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

²⁴ whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,

³⁶ And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'

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.

¹¹ for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

³ wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus is anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁴ and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith, ¹⁵ and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise; ¹⁶ for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen, ¹⁷ and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins; ¹⁸ then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

² in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, ³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

⁷ because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.

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.

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name, ¹³ who—not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but—of God were begotten.

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.'

⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

¹⁶ having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

¹² See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living 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;

¹⁵ whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

¹³ I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell—where the throne of the Adversary is —and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

¹⁶ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone—a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.

²³ And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

⁷ Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

³³ according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

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;'

⁵ For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

¹⁸ Near is Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,

¹⁴ and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.'

³⁴ And Peter having opened his mouth, said, `Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, ³⁵ but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him; ³⁶ the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

⁸ and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us, ⁹ and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

⁴ or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? —not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!

²⁹ The God of Jews only is He, and not also of nations? ³⁰ yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

¹¹ and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them, 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.

²³ and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call—us— ²⁴ not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

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.

¹² and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations—upon him shall nations hope;'

² to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours:

⁴⁷ The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven;

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

²⁸ there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

¹⁸ because through him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit unto the Father. ¹⁹ Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, ²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-stone, ²¹ in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord, ²² in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

⁶ that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,

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,

¹⁶ that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

¹⁹ and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

² that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ, ³ in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,

¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman—but the all and in all—Christ.

⁵ for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'

¹⁶ and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.'

³² And it hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants whom Jehovah is calling!

²¹ and it shall be, every one—whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.

⁴¹ `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake— ⁴² (for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) —and he hath come in and prayed towards this house, ⁴³ Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

⁵ and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that are in the ship into the sea, to make it light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.

⁹ And he saith unto them, `A Hebrew I am, and Jehovah, God of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry land.' <sup>10</sup> And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, `What is this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them.
¹¹ And they say unto him, `What do we do to thee that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?'

¹⁶ and the men fear Jehovah—a great fear, and sacrifice a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows.

⁵ And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their least, ⁶ seeing the word doth come unto the king of Nineveh, and he riseth from his throne, and removeth his honourable robe from off him, and spreadeth out sackcloth, and sitteth on the ashes, ⁷ and he crieth and saith in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, `Man and beast, herd and flock—let them not taste anything, let them not feed, even water let them not drink; ⁸ and cover themselves with sackcloth let man and beast, and let them call unto God mightily, and let them turn back each from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. ⁹ Who knoweth? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.'

⁴⁶ and he said to them—`Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

³¹ and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

³¹ and he said, `Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.

² he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive—having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;'

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.

⁵ through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

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—

²¹ if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;

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,

³ (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,

⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

¹⁵ and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.

⁹ On a high mountain get thee up, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up with power thy voice, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, fear not, say to cities of Judah, `Lo, your God.'

⁷ How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, `Reigned hath thy God.'

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.

³² Lo, I am against the prophets of false dreams, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they recount them, and cause my people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I—I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not at all profitable to this people, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁵ Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been completely cut off!

³⁸ beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.'

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; ¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them—to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 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.'

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people—

¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men—good will.'

¹ And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve are with him,

¹ And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

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;

³⁶ the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

² and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, `Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,' ³ then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent them away.
⁴ These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus,

²⁶ `Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

²¹ and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.'

²⁸ And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues; ²⁹ are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all powers?

¹⁸ And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation, ¹⁹ how that God was in Christ—a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, ²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;'

¹⁷ and having come, he did proclaim good news—peace to you—the far-off and the nigh,

¹¹ and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers, ¹² unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,

¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace;

¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

¹⁰ Who is among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

¹ Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord—to whom was it revealed?' <sup>39</sup> Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, <sup>40</sup> `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

²⁴ and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.

⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,

³ for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

¹⁷ and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

¹⁷ And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become—

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—

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

⁷ Ye were running well; who did hinder you—not to obey the truth?

⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

² for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

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;

¹ In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,

²⁸ The prophet with whom is a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom is My word, Let him truly speak My word. What—to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah. ²⁹ Is it not thus? My word is as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer—it breaketh in pieces a rock.

²⁴ And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;

¹¹ `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,

²¹ and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'

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

²⁹ `Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them; ³⁰ and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform. ³¹ And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'

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.

¹⁴ How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God, ¹⁹ for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;' ²⁰ where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing. ²² Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ also we—we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ and to those called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

¹⁷ for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that is to all the saints, 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, ⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

¹³ Because of this also, we—we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

¹³ And we—we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, ¹⁴ to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹² for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart; ¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, ²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work; ²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—to the age;

⁹ I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ Jehovah thy God liveth, if there is a nation and kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it doth not find thee;

⁴ Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

²⁷ Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

³ He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹⁶ From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, `Leanness is to me, Leanness is to me, woe is to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.

⁶ And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁰ Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.

¹⁹ O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.

⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

¹⁴ and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

¹³ Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this one did shall also be spoken of—for a memorial of her.'

¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them—to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;

²⁰ and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.

⁵ And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, ⁶ and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect, ⁷ and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that are along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'

²⁰ but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;

²³ and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,

⁸ first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

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;

⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became—I Paul—a ministrant.

⁸ for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

²¹ They have made Me zealous by `no-god,' They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them zealous by `no-people,' By a foolish nation I make them angry.

⁵ A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, ⁶ Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not, ⁷ Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not; ⁸ Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

¹⁸ They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely. ¹⁹ And none doth turn it back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.' <sup>20</sup> Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there not a lie in my right hand?'

⁸ And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities is the tree itself.

¹⁴ Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false is his molten image. And there is no breath in them.

²³ And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou art, and it saith, My God!'

²¹ because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened, ²² professing to be wise, they were made fools,

¹⁸ but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed—`to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'

¹¹ I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;

¹⁴ if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,

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.'

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened—that both those having wives may be as not having;

¹⁹ what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? —

²² why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

² ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols—as ye were led—being carried away;

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;

³ for we were once—also we—thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious—hating one another;

¹⁰ who were once not a people, and are now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.

¹ The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.

¹⁵ So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!

⁴ Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples. ⁵ Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.

¹ Call with the throat, restrain not, As a trumpet lift up thy voice, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;

¹ I have been inquired of by those who asked not, I have been found by those who sought Me not, I have said, `Behold Me, behold Me,' Unto a nation not calling in My name. ² I have spread out My hands all the day Unto an apostate people, Who are going in the way not good after their own thoughts.

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

⁹ be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts. ¹⁰ `And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

²³ `And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;

³⁰ What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith,

¹⁹ and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it behoveth me to speak.

¹⁹ we—we love him, because He—He first loved us;

¹³ `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it is;

²⁷ for I—I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.

⁷ And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Hearken to the voice of the people, to all that they say unto thee, for thee they have not rejected, but Me they have rejected, from reigning over them. ⁸ According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even unto this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods—so they are doing also to thee.

²⁶ `And they are disobedient, and rebel against Thee, and cast Thy law behind their back, and Thy prophets they have slain, who testified against them, to bring them back unto Thee, and they do great despisings,

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

² I have spread out My hands all the day Unto an apostate people, Who are going in the way not good after their own thoughts. ³ The people who are provoking Me to anger, To My face continually, Sacrificing in gardens, and making perfume on the bricks: ⁴ Who are dwelling among sepulchres, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominable things—their vessels. ⁵ Who are saying, `Keep to thyself, come not nigh to me, For I have declared thee unholy.' These are a smoke in Mine anger, A fire burning all the day.

⁴ And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying:

¹⁵ And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto Me.

⁴ `And I send unto you all my servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: I pray you, do not this abomination that I have hated— ⁵ and they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, to turn back from their wickedness, not to make perfume to other gods, ⁶ and poured out is My fury, and Mine anger, and it burneth in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a waste, for a desolation, as at this day.

¹ `For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard, <sup>2</sup> and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard. <sup>3</sup> `And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle, ⁴ and to these he said, Go ye—also ye—to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you; ⁵ and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner. <sup>6</sup> And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle? <sup>7</sup> they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye—ye also—to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive. <sup>8</sup> `And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last—unto the first. ⁹ And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary. ¹⁰ `And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary, <sup>11</sup> and having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, saying, <sup>12</sup> that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day—and the heat. <sup>13</sup> `And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me? ¹⁴ take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee; ¹⁵ is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?

³³ `Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. <sup>34</sup> `And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it, ³⁵ and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned. ³⁶ `Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner. <sup>37</sup> `And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son; ³⁸ and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance; ³⁹ and having taken him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him; ⁴⁰ whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?' ⁴¹ They say to him, `Evil men—he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.' <sup>42</sup> Jesus saith to them, `Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes. ⁴³ `Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;

³ and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come. ⁴ `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts; <sup>5</sup> and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise; <sup>6</sup> and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them . <sup>7</sup> `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

³⁴ `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city; <sup>35</sup> that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar: <sup>36</sup> verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. <sup>37</sup> `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

⁵¹ `Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers—also ye; ⁵² which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,

⁴⁶ And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, `To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; ⁴⁷ for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations—for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them—to the end!
