²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, ²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb; ²⁴ and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it, ²⁵ and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, having been gathered together to make war with him who is sitting upon the horse, and with his army;

¹⁸ let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, ¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which all the body—through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together—may increase with the increase of God.

²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

¹⁰ fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

²³ therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision.

²⁶ And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and thou, hide thou the vision, for it is after many days.'

⁴ And thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the book till the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.'

⁹ And he saith, `Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed are the things till the time of the end;

²⁷ that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.

¹² the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

³ let not any one deceive you in any manner, because—if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed—the son of the destruction,

⁷ And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

¹ And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

⁴ and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, `Thou mayest not write these things.'

¹² And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be; ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.

¹⁶ `I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

⁹ And the righteous layeth hold on his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And—dumb are they all.

¹² And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending, ²⁵ And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired. ²⁶ I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh, ²⁷ When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress. ²⁸ Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not. ²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen. ³⁰ They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof, ³¹ And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled. ³² For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them. ³³ And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And is quiet from fear of evil!'

¹⁸ And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

³² In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death is the righteous.

³ If the thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they empty themselves; And if a tree doth fall in the south or to the north, The place where the tree falleth, there it is.

²⁷ And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house are they.

¹⁰ Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;

⁶ `Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they shall be filled.

¹⁴ let them alone, guides they are—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'

¹⁹ and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be—to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered.

¹⁰ `And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;

²¹ therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²² in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,

¹³ and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray.

²⁴ And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,

¹³ And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes—who are they, and whence came they?' <sup>14</sup> and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb; ¹⁵ because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them;

⁸ And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire, ⁹ and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform—to give to Him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain, ¹¹ and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.

²¹ and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.

³ and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it is good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

¹⁰ Lo, the Lord Jehovah with strength cometh, And His arm is ruling for Him, Lo, His hire is with Him, and His wage before Him.

¹¹ Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: `Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire is with him, and his wage before him.

¹⁴ Near is the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek there doth a mighty one.

²⁷ `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.

⁶ who shall render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; ¹⁰ and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek. ¹¹ For there is no acceptance of faces with God,

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

⁸ and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

¹⁴ if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive;

¹⁷ for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if unwillingly—with a stewardship I have been entrusted! ¹⁸ What, then, is my reward? —that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news;

¹⁸ and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.'

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;

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I am He.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I am the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I am He, I am first, and I am last;

⁸ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming—the Almighty.'

¹¹ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

³ O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times. ⁴ Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation. ⁵ To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

¹ Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

¹ Aleph. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah, ² O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him. ³ Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
⁴ Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently, ⁵ O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes, ⁶ Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.

¹ Thus said Jehovah: `Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near is My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.' ² O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.

¹² O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

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. <sup>22</sup> 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? <sup>23</sup> and then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness. <sup>24</sup> `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; ²⁷ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'

³⁷ `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them; ³⁸ and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find it so, happy are those servants.

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

⁷ Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you—I am the door of the sheep;

⁹ I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' <sup>23</sup> Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love; ¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full. ¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you; ¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends; ¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.

⁹ but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

⁵ have we not authority a sister—a wife—to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

⁶ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us, ²⁴ and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

¹⁴ and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

¹² having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

² in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations;

⁸ And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet—one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil—Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.'

²¹ `And the spirit goeth out, and standeth before Jehovah, and saith, I—I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, By what? ²² and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so. ²³ And now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken concerning thee—evil.'

¹⁵ Elder, and accepted of face, he is the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he is the tail. ¹⁶ And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.

⁹ And come in to thee do these two things, In a moment, in one day, childlessness and widowhood, According to their perfection they have come upon thee, In the multitude of thy sorceries, In the exceeding might of thy charms.

¹² Stand, I pray thee, in thy charms, And in the multitude of thy sorceries, In which thou hast laboured from thy youth, It may be thou art able to profit, It may be thou dost terrify!

³ And ye, come near hither, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even thou dost commit whoredom.

³¹ The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved it so, And what do they at its latter end?

⁵ And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.

¹² but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness—there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.'

¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 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.'

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

¹¹ and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.

⁶ and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name is Bar-Jesus; ⁷ who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God, ⁸ and there withstood them Elymas the magian—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ And Saul—who also is Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him, ¹⁰ said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord? ¹¹ and now, lo, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead him by the hand;

⁹ have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

¹⁹ And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit.

³ and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; ⁴ also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, —the things not fit—but rather thanksgiving; ⁵ for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

² look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, ¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, ¹² that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

²⁰ and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk, ²¹ yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.

¹ And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters, <sup>2</sup> with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;' <sup>3</sup> and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns, <sup>4</sup> and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom, <sup>5</sup> and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.' ⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder—having seen her—with great wonder;

⁸ and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part is in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.'

¹⁷ I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.

¹ And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.

¹² and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot—is his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.

¹ A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

² saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'

⁷ Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star, ⁸ and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone—inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
⁹ And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was. ¹⁰ And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

⁴² saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.'

⁴⁵ If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?'

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

³ concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁵ whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

¹⁹ And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise—in your hearts;

⁴ John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,

¹¹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

²⁸ and I will give to him the morning star. ²⁹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

⁶ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

¹³ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

²² He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.'

⁵ and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

⁶ And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

¹¹ he who is unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy—let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous—let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified—let him be sanctified still:

⁸ Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

³ And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

⁵ O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'

³ And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,

¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there am I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit. ¹⁷ Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, `I am Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest. ¹⁸ O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,

¹ Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk. ² Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness. ³ Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David—that are stedfast.

⁵ To Zion they ask the way, Thitherward are their faces: Come in, and we are joined unto Jehovah, A covenant age-during—not forgotten.

² And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

²¹ Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of Hosts—I go, even I. ²² Yea, come in have many peoples, and mighty nations, To seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of Jehovah. ²³ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: In those days take hold do ten men of all languages of the nations, Yea, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying: We go with you, for we heard God is with you!

³⁹ He saith to them, `Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth. <sup>40</sup> Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him; <sup>41</sup> this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,) ⁴² and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, `Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.)
<sup>43</sup> On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.' ⁴⁴ And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter; ⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;' <sup>46</sup> and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, `Come and see.'

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

²⁹ `Come, see a man, who told me all things—as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

³⁷ And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

¹² And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

⁵ because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,
⁶ and ye—ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit, ⁷ so that ye became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia, 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,

² and I, John, saw the holy city—new Jerusalem—coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;

⁹ And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb—the wife,'

¹⁸ `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, —then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

²⁴ then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins; ²⁵ and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.

²⁸ then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

³⁷ And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

² Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God which I am commanding you.

³² The whole thing which I am commanding you—it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it.

⁶ Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.

⁶ and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition. ⁷ `Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ⁸ This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me; ⁹ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.'

¹³ And he answering said, `Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

¹⁷ This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

⁶ that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger is the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,

¹⁴ `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness—the faithful and true—the chief of the creation of God;

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that hath been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers, and before the Lamb, ¹¹ and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name.

¹ And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these was completed the wrath of God,

⁶ and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles: ⁷ and one of the four living creatures did give to the seven messengers seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who is living to the ages of the ages; ⁸ and filled was the sanctuary with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary till the seven plagues of the seven messengers may be finished.

⁶ because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;' ⁷ and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.'
<sup>8</sup> And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire, <sup>9</sup> and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform—to give to Him glory. <sup>10</sup> And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain, <sup>11</sup> and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.
<sup>12</sup> And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready; <sup>13</sup> and I saw come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs— <sup>14</sup> for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; — <sup>15</sup> `lo, I do come as a thief; happy is he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness,' — ¹⁶ and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
¹⁷ And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of the heaven, from the throne, saying, `It hath come!' ¹⁸ and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake—so great! ¹⁹ And it came—the great city—into three parts, and the cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger, ²⁰ and every island did flee away, and mountains were not found, ²¹ and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.

²⁰ and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast—the two—to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone;

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night—to the ages of the ages.

¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

³³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Whoso hath sinned against Me—I blot him out of My book;

²⁸ They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

⁵² `Woe to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .
¹⁸ `And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

⁴ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. ⁵ He who is overcoming—this one—shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!' <sup>11</sup> And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God, <sup>12</sup> saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, are to our God—to the ages of the ages! Amen!'
¹³ And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes—who are they, and whence came they?' <sup>14</sup> and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

⁸ And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;

¹³ And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours—and their works do follow them!'

²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, ²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb; ²⁴ and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it, ²⁵ and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there; ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it; ²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

¹⁴ Or to a young one of the harts on mountains of spices!

⁹ And one hath said in that day, `Lo, this is our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This is Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'

²⁵ And there are also many other things—as many as Jesus did—which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.

²² if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord—the Righteous Judge—shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

²⁸ so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him—to salvation!

¹² waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt; ¹³ and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell; ¹⁴ wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

² who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

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.

⁷ to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

¹⁴ the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.

²³ Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! ²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.

¹⁸ the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all! Amen.
