Bible verses about "faithful" | Etheridge

³¹ Be not anxious, therefore, nor say, What shall we eat, or, What shall we drink, or, How shall we be covered? ³² For after all these things do the people of the world inquire: but your Father who is in heaven knoweth that also by you are required these all. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of Aloha and his righteousness, and all these shall be added unto you.

⁴ LOVE is patient and benign; love envieth not; love is not tumultuous, nor inflated; ⁵ it acteth not with unseemliness, nor seeketh its own; it is not angry, nor thoughtful of evil; ⁶ it rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. ⁷ It endureth every thing, believeth every thing; it hopeth all, endureth all.

¹ Now FAITH is the persuasion concerning things which are in hope, as if they were in reality,[In act.] and a revelation of those which are not seen.

¹ PAULOS and Timotheus, servants of Jeshu the Meshiha, to all the saints who are in Jeshu Meshiha at Philipos, with the presbyters and deacons. ² Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ I offer thanks unto Aloha upon the remembrance of you constantly, ⁴ in all my prayers on your behalf; and while rejoicing, I pray, ⁵ for your fellowship which is in the gospel from the first day until now; ⁶ because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun good workings in you will himself make perfect until the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁷ For so it is right for me to think concerning you all, because you are laid up in my heart; and in my bonds, and in the defence of the truth of the gospel, you are partakers with me in grace. ⁸ For Aloha is my witness how I love you with the bowels of Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ And this I pray, that your love may still increase and abound in knowledge and in all spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha, ¹¹ and filled with the fruits of righteousness which are in Jeshu Meshiha, to the glory and the honour of Aloha. ¹² BUT I wish you to know, my brethren, that my business tendeth the more to the forwarding of the gospel. ¹³ For so also my bonds are manifest for the Meshiha in the whole palace,[Or, praetorium] and unto all besides. ¹⁴ And a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha. ¹⁵ Some preach from envy and contention, but some from good-will, and in the love of the Meshiha; ¹⁶ for they know that for the defence of the gospel I am appointed. ¹⁷ But those who preach the Meshiha from contention do it not sincerely,[Or, purely.] but think to add affliction to my bonds. ¹⁸ Yet in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every way, if for an occasion, or if in truth, the Meshiha shall be preached. ¹⁹ For I know that these things shall be found unto my life by your prayers, and by the gift of the Spirit of Jeshu Meshiha; ²⁰ even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. ²¹ For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me. ²² But if in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose. ²³ For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable [Profitable.] to me; ²⁴ but also to remain in my body is the thing which constraineth me on your account. ²⁵ For I know this confidently, that I am to remain and tarry for your joy and for the increase of your faith: ²⁶ that when I come again to you, your glorying which is in Jeshu Meshiha alone shall abound in me. ²⁷ As it becometh the gospel of the Meshiha, so have your conversation; that if coming I see you, or absent, I may hear of you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, conquering together for the faith of the gospel; ²⁸ in nothing moved by them who stand against us, to the forthshowing of their perdition, and of our salvation, ²⁹ And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer, ³⁰ and to sustain a conflict, as you have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.

¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life

¹³ Temptation cometh not (upon) you but what cometh on mankind; but faithful is Aloha, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you are able, but will make to your temptation a departure, that you may be able to endure.

⁹ but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
