Bible verses about "how we should live our lives" | Etheridge

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with [Ad literam, From all, &c.] all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, which is like it, (is) that thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Another commandment greater than these there is not.

²¹ Jeshu saith to him, If thou wilt become perfect, go, sell thy possession and give to the poor, and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven: and come after me.

⁸ IN this is glorified my Father, that much fruit you give, and be my disciples.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.

¹² WHEREFORE your relaxed hands and your trembling knees make strong; ¹³ and right ways make for your feet, that the member which is lame may not wander, but be healed. ¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man, and after holiness, without which man our Lord seeth not. ¹⁵ And be aware lest any one be found among you failing of the grace of Aloha; or lest any root of bitternesses should put forth the flower and injure you, and many be contaminated: ¹⁶ or lest there be found among you any fornicator, or dissolute, as Isu, who for one meal sold his birthright.

¹ And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him. ² MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is. ³ And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure. ⁴ But whoever committeth sin doeth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity. ⁵ And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not. ⁶ And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him. ⁷ My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself is righteous. ⁸ And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana. ⁹ Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born. ¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

¹⁰ HENCEFORTH, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and in the power of his strength.

²⁰ and from henceforth I live not, but in me liveth Meshiha; and this that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Aloha, who loved me and gave himself for me.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.

¹ I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present [Or, make to stand, constitute.] your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational* service. [* Meliltho. Compare the use of the corresponding Chaldee word in the Targum of Onkelos on Gen 2:7, where the divine afflatus is described as creating in man ruch memalla, "a speaking or rational spirit."] ² And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹ Now this, my beloved, the second epistle I write to you; in both of which I awaken to remembrance your fair [Reyoncun shaphira.] mind. ² That you may remember the words which were before spoken by the holy prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and our Saviour (delivered) by the apostles. ³ This first know you, that there will come in the last of the days deriders who will deride, as after their own lusts they walk, ⁴ and saying, Where is the promise of his advent? for, since our fathers have slept, every thing (abideth) as from the beginning of the creation. ⁵ Unknown to them is this while they are willing, that the heaven was from of old, and the earth from the waters and through the waters [Men mäyo, vabyad mäyo komath.] subsisted, by the word of Aloha: ⁶ those (waters) by which the world that then was, again (was covered) with waters, and perished. ⁷ But the heaven which is now, and the earth, by his own word are set, being reserved unto fire, unto the day of judgment and the perdition of wicked men. ⁸ But this one (truth) be not ignorant of, my beloved, That one day with the Lord (is) as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ Not dilatory is the Lord in his promises, as some consider delay; but is patient on your account, not willing that any man should perish, but (that) every man to repentance should come. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord cometh as a thief: that (day) in which the heavens suddenly [Mensheli.] shall pass away, but the elements burning be dissolved, and the earth and the works that are in it be found not. ¹¹ As, therefore, all these are to be dissolved, how behoveth it you to be holy in your conversation, ¹² and in the fear of Aloha; expecting and desiring the coming of the day of Aloha; that (day) in which the heavens, tried with fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning shall melt? ¹³ But new heavens and earth, according to his promise, we expect; those wherein righteousness dwelleth. ¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, while these you expect, be diligent, that, without blemish and without spot, of Him you may be found in peace. ¹⁵ And the long-suffering of the Lord consider (to be for) salvation; as also our beloved brother Paulos according to the wisdom which hath been given to him hath written to you. ¹⁶ As in all his epistles he speaks concerning these; in which there is somewhat difficult for intelligence. Those who are not knowing nor settled pervert them, as also the remaining scriptures, to their perdition. ¹⁷ You therefore, my beloved, knowing this before, keep yourselves, lest, going after the error of those who are lawless, you fall from your support. ¹⁸ But increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, and (of) Aloha the Father, Whose be glory both now, and in all time, and to the days eternal. Amen.

¹⁴ Do every thing without murmuring and without division; ¹⁵ that you may be perfect and without spot, as the pure children of Aloha, who dwell in a generation depraved and perverse; and be manifest among them as luminaries in the world,

²⁵ WHEREFORE let lying cease from you, and speak the truth every man with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

¹² Wear, therefore, as the chosen of Aloha, saints and beloved, compassions and tenderness, and benignity, and lowliness of mind, and composure, and patience. ¹³ And bear with one another, and forgive one another, if any man have a complaint against his neighbour; even as the Meshiha hath forgiven you, so also forgive; ¹⁴ and with all these charity, which is the girdle of perfection. ¹⁵ And let the peace of the Meshiha direct your hearts, for to it you have been called in one body; and give thanks to the Meshiha, ¹⁶ whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha. ¹⁷ And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

¹⁰ and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha;

²⁹ Let no hateful word come out of your mouth, but that which is comely and useful for edification, that it may communicate grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been sealed unto the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken from you, with all malice; ³² and be gentle one with another, and affectionate, and forgive one another, even as Aloha in the Meshiha hath forgiven us.
