THE COMMISSION OF YESHA YAH
And I hear the voice of Adonay, saying, Whom send I? and, Who goes for us? And I say, Here - I! Send me!

THE FINAL MISVAH OF YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua comes and speaks to them, wording, All authority is given me in the heavens and in earth. ¹⁹ So go and disciple all goyim, baptizing them in the name* of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: ²⁰ doctrinating them to guard all - as much as ever I misvahed you: and behold, I am with you all days - even to the completion/shalom of the eon. Amen. ^{*name: Exodus 3:3-15, Isaiah 42:8, John 8:58}

HE TESTING OF YAH SHUA
nd Yah Shua, full of the Holy Spirit, returns from Yarden and is led in the Spirit into the wilderness; ² being tested forty days by Diabolos: and in those days he eats naught: and after they complete, he famishes. ³ And Diabolos says to him, If you are the Son of Elohim, say that this stone become bread. ⁴ And Yah Shua answers him, wording, It is scribed, Humanity lives not by bread alone, but by every rhema of Yah Veh. ^{Deuteronomy 8:3 5} And Diabolos brings him to a high mountain and in a moment of time shows him all the sovereigndoms of the world: ⁶ and Diabolos says to him, I give you all this authority and all their glory - for that is delivered to me and to whomever I give it: ⁷ so whenever you worship in my sight, all becomes yours. ⁸ And Yah Shua answers him, saying, You, Go behind me, Satan: for it is scribed, Worship Yah Veh your Elohim; and him only liturgize. ^{Deuteronomy 6:13, 10:20 9} And he brings him to Yeru Shalem and stands him on a wing of the priestal precinct, and says to him, If you are the Son of Elohim cast yourself from hence: ¹⁰ for it is scribed, He misvahs his angels concerning you to thoroughly guard you; ¹¹ and they lift you in their hands lest ever you dash your foot against a stone. ^{Psalm 91:11, 12 12} And Yah Shua answers him, saying, It says, Test not Yah Veh your Elohim. ^{Deuteronomy 6:16}

YAH SHUA CURES ON THE SHABBATH
And again he enters the synagogue; and there is a human with a withered hand; ² and they observe, whether he cures him on the shabbaths; to accuse him. ³ And he words to the human with the withered hand, Stand midst us. ⁴ And he words to them, Is it allowed on the shabbaths to do good? Or to do evil? To save soul? Or to slaughter? - but they hush. ⁵ And he looks all around them with wrath being grieved for the petrifaction of their hearts; he words to the human, Spread your hand! - and he spreads and his hand restores, whole as the other. ⁶ And the Pharisees go, and straightway make counsel against him with the Herodians - how to destroy him. ⁷ But Yah Shua, with his disciples. withdraws himself to the sea: and a vast multitude follows him - from Galiyl and from Yah Hudah ⁸ and from Yeru Shalem and from Edom and from beyond Yarden: and those around Sor and Sidon, a vast multitude, having heard as much as he did, come to him. ⁹ And because of the multitude, he says to his disciples, for a skiff to await him; lest they tribulate him: ¹⁰ for he cures many; so that they fall on him to touch him: and as many as have scourges ¹¹ and impure spirits, when they observe him, prostrate in front of him, and cry, wording, You are the Son of Elohim. ¹² - and he admonishes them to not make him manifest. ¹³
YAH SHUA ORDAINS THE TWELVE
And he ascends a mountain and calls whom he wills to himself; and they come to him: ¹⁴ and he ordains twelve to be with him - to apostolize them to preach ¹⁵ and to have authority to cure diseases and to cast out demons. ¹⁶ And to Shimon he adds the name Petros: ¹⁷ and to Yaaqovos of Zabdi and Yahn the brother of Yaaqovos he adds the names Ben Regaz, which is, Sons of thunder: ¹⁸ and Andreas and Philippos and Bar Talmay and Matthaios and Taom and Yaaqovos of Heleph and Thaddaeus and Shimon the Kenaaniy ¹⁹ and Yah Hudah the urbanite who also betrays him; - and they come to a house. ²⁰ And the multitude comes together again so that they cannot so much as even eat bread: ²¹ and his friends hear of it and come to overpower him: for they word, He is astounded. ²²
YAH SHUA ACCUSED OF HAVING BAAL ZEBUB
And the scribes from Yeru Shalem descend and speak, He has Baal Zebub! - and, In the arch of demons he casts demons. ²³ And he calls them to him and words to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ - and, whenever a sovereigndom divides against itself, that sovereigndom cannot stand! ²⁵ - and, Whenever a house divides against itself, that house cannot stand! ²⁶ - and, If Satan rises and divides against himself, he cannot stand - but has a completion. ²⁷ No one can enter the house of the mighty; and throughly plunder his vessels unless he first binds the mighty; and then he throughly plunders his house. ²⁸
THE UNFORGIVEN SIN
Amen! I word to you, All sins are forgiven the sons of humanity, and blasphemies - as much as ever they blaspheme: ²⁹ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness to the eons but is subject to eternal judgment ³⁰ - because they word, He has an impure spirit. ³¹
MOTHER AND BROTHERS SEEK YAH SHUA
So his brothers and his mother come; and standing outside, apostolize to him - voicing to him: ³² and the multitude sits around him and says to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside seek for you. ³³ And he answers them, wording, Who is my mother? Or my brothers? ³⁴ And he looks around on those who sit around him, and words, Behold my mother and my brothers! ³⁵ For whoever does the will of Elohim - this is my brother and my sister and mother.

¹
THE HOLY METAMORPHOSIS
So I beseech you, brothers, through the compassions of Elohim, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to Elohim - your logical liturgy. ² And be not configured to this eon: but metamorphosed by the renewing of your mind, to prove what that good and well-pleasing and completed/shalamed will of Elohim is. ³
THE CHARISMATA
For through the charism given to me I word to everyone being among you, to not superexalt more than he need superexalt; but to think to being soundminded, as Elohim imparted to each the measure of trust. ^{Philippians 2:1-8 4} For exactly as we have many members in one body and all members have not the same function: ⁵ thus we many are one body in Messiah and each members one of another. ⁶ So having charismata - thoroughly excelling according to the charism given to us, if prophecy, according to the proportion of trust; ⁷ if also ministry, in ministering; if also doctrinating, in doctrine; ⁸ if also consoling, in consolation; if also imparting, in liberality; if also presiding, in diligence; if also mercying, in hilarity. ^{I Corinthians 12:1-11}

¹
SPIRITUAL VS FLESHLY
And brothers, I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual but as to fleshly - as to babes in Messiah. ² I gave you milk to drink and not food: for you were not yet able, but not even now are you yet able: ³ for you are yet fleshly: for among you there are zeal and contention and divisions: are you not indeed fleshly and walk as humanity? ⁴ For while one words, I indeed of Paulos; and another, I of Apollos; are you not indeed fleshly? ⁵ So who is Paulos and who is Apollos but ministers through whom you trusted - even as Adonay gave each to all? ⁶ I plant, Apollos irrigates; but Elohim grows. ⁷ So neither is whoever plants aught nor whoever irrigates; but Elohim who grows. ⁸ And whoever plants and whoever irrigates are one: and each takes his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are co-workers with Elohim: - the cultivation of Elohim - the edifice of Elohim. ¹⁰ According to the charism Elohim gives me, as a wise architect, I place the foundation, and another builds: and each sees how he builds. ¹¹ For no one can place another foundation than the one laid - Yah Shua Messiah: ¹² and if anyone build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timber, herbage, stubble; ¹³ the work of each becomes manifest: for the day evidences it because it unveils in fire; and the fire proofs the work of each - of what sort. ¹⁴ If anyone builds a work that abides he takes a reward: ¹⁵ if the work of anyone burns he has loss - but he himself is saved - yet thus as through fire. ¹⁶
THE HOLY NAVE OF ELOHIM
Know you not that you are the nave of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone corrupts the nave of Elohim, him Elohim destroys; for the nave of Elohim, which you are, is holy. ¹⁸ Seduce not yourselves. If anyone among you thinks to be wise in this eon, may he become a fool, that he becomes wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this cosmos is foolishness with Elohim. For it is scribed, He grasps the wise in their own cunning. ²⁰ And again, Yah Veh knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain. ^{Job 5:13, Psalm 94:11, 20 21} So boast not in humanity: for all are yours; ²² whether Paulos, whether Apollos, whether Kepha, whether the cosmos, whether life, whether death, whether the present, whether the about to be - all are to you; ²³ and you are to Messiah; and Messiah is to Elohim.

¹¹
ALL DIED
So knowing the awe of Adonay, we convince humanity; and manifest to Elohim; and I hope also, manifest in your consciences. ¹² For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, to have somewhat toward them who boast in face and not in heart. ¹³ For whether astounded, it is to Elohim; or whether soundminded, it is to you. ¹⁴ For the love of the Messiah holds us together; because we judge thus: that if one died for all, thus all are dead: ¹⁵ and he died for all, that whoever lives, lives no longer to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose. ¹⁶
THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
So henceforth we know no one after the flesh: yes, though we knew Messiah after the flesh, yet from now on we still know not. ¹⁷ So anyone in Messiah is a new creation: the archaic passed; behold, all becomes new. ¹⁸ And all are of Elohim, who reconciles us to himself through Yah Shua Messiah and gives us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ - how that Elohim was in Messiah, reconciling the cosmos to himself - not reckoning their backslidings to them; and places the word of reconciliation in us. ²⁰ So we are presbyters for Messiah, as Elohim beseeching through us: we petition in the stead of Messiah, be reconciled to Elohim.

¹
THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK
So having this ministry, exactly as we are mercied, we weary not; ² but disown the secrets of shame; neither walking in cunningness nor handling the word of Elohim deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to the conscience of every human in the sight of Elohim. ³ And also, if our evangelism is veiled, it is veiled among the lost: ⁴ in whom the elohim of this eon blinds the comprehensions of the trustless, lest the light of the evangelism of the glory of the Messiah - being the icon of Elohim radiate to them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves but Messiah Yah Shua Adonay; and ourselves your servants for sake of Yah Shua. ⁶ For Elohim, who said, Light, radiate from darkness! radiates in our hearts for the radiancy of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of Yah Shua Messiah. ⁷
CLAY VESSELS
And we have this treasure in clay vessels; that the excellency of the dynamis be of Elohim and not of us. ⁸ We are tribulated in all, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed: ¹⁰ Always carrying in the body the death of Adonay Yah Shua, so that the life of Yah Shua also manifests in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are ever delivered to death for sake of Yah Shua, so that the life of Yah Shua also manifests in our mortal flesh. ¹² So thus indeed, the death energizes in us, and the life in you. ¹³
THE SPIRIT OF THE TRUST
We, having the same spirit of the trust, according as scribed, I trusted and thus I spoke; we also trust and thus speak; ^{Psalm 116:10 14} knowing that he who raised Adonay Yah Shua, through Yah Shua, also raises us - and presents us with you. ¹⁵ For all these are for your sakes - that the superabundant charism through the eucharist of many, superabound to the glory of Elohim. ¹⁶ So we weary not; but if indeed our outward humanity corrupts, yet the inward renews day by day. ¹⁷ For our momentary light tribulation works for us an exceeding to exceeding eternal burden of glory; ¹⁸ while we scope not at the seen, but at the not seen: for the seen are temporal; but the not seen are eternal.

⁶ who also enables us - ministers of the new covenant; not of scribing but of spirit: for the scribing slaughters, and the spirit enlivens.

²⁴ But none of these words move me nor regard I my soul precious to myself - so as to complete/shalam my race with cheer, and the ministry I took of Adonay Yah Shua, to witness the evangelism of the charism of Elohim.

¹ So I witness in sight of Elohim and Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, who judges the living and the dead at his epiphany and his sovereigndom: ² preach the word; stand by opportunely and inopportunely; reprove, rebuke, exhort in all patience and doctrine: ³ For the season becomes that they not tolerate sound doctrine; but after their own pantings they heap doctors to themselves who tickle their hearing; ⁴ and indeed, they turn from hearing the truth and turn to myths. ⁵ And you, be sober in all, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully bear your ministry.

¹⁰ humble yourselves in the sight of Yah Veh and he exalts you.

⁷ Remember them who govern you, who speak the word of Elohim to you: whose trust mimic, considering the outcome of their behavior.

³ Give no stumbling in aught, to not blemish the ministry: ⁴ but commend ourselves in all as the ministers of Elohim, in many endurances, in tribulations, in compulsions, in distresses, ⁵ in stripes, in guardhouses, in instabilities, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; ⁶ in holiness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unpretentious, ⁷ in the word of truth, in the dynamis of Elohim; through the weapon of justness at the right and at the left, ⁸ through glory and dishonor, through defamation and euphony; as seducers and true, ⁹ as unknown and well known, as dying and behold, we live, as disciplined and not deathified, ¹⁰ as sorrowed yet ever cheering, as poor yet enriching many, as having naught and holding all.

¹⁵ Be diligent to present yourself approved to Elohim, a worker unashamed straightcutting the word of truth:

¹² Have no one disesteem your youth; but be a type of the trustworthy in word, in behavior, in love, in spirit, in trust, in purity

¹³ For whoever calls upon the name of Yah Veh becomes saved. ^{Joel 2:32 14} So then, how call they on him in whom they trust not? And how trust they in him whom they heard not? And how hear they apart from a preacher? ¹⁵ And how preach they unless they are apostolized? Exactly as scribed, How beautiful their feet who evangelize shalom and evangelize good! ^{Isaiah 52:7, Nahum 1:15}

THE FOURFOLD MINISTRY
And indeed, he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and doctors; ¹² for the perfecting of the holy - to the work of the ministry - to the edifying of the body of the Messiah: ¹³ until we all attain to the unity of the trust and the knowledge of the Son of Elohim to a man of shalom; to the measure of the maturity of the fulness/shalom of the Messiah:
