And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary. ⁴ Nevertheless, I have against thee because thou left thy first love. ⁵ Remember therefore from where thou have fallen, and repent and do the first works.

Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days.

And all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the inner feelings and hearts. And I will give to you-to each-according to your works. ²⁴ But I say to you, to those remaining in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who do not know, as they say, the deep things of Satan, I do not cast upon you another burden. ²⁵ But hold firm what ye have until I come. ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. ²⁷ And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father. ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come upon them, says LORD. ⁴ Hear ye the word of LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. ⁵ Thus says LORD: What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?

¹³ Brothers, I reckon myself not to have seized, but one thing, indeed forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to the things ahead, ¹⁴ I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you. ¹⁶ However in what we have attained, to march by the same standard, to think the same way.

⁹ But about brotherly love ye have no need to write to you, for ye yourselves are taught by God in order to love each other. ¹⁰ For ye are also doing it toward all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, to abound more,

³ We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving. ¹¹ And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee, because thou have there men who adhere to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, even to eat idol sacrifices, and to fornicate.

²⁶ And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.

¹² How thou are fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How thou are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

² Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says LORD, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, how thou went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. ³ Israel was holiness to LORD, the first-fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come upon them, says LORD.

⁶¹ Then thou shall remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shall receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger, and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. ⁶² And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I am LORD, ⁶³ that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says the lord LORD.

⁴³ And there ye shall remember your ways, and all your doings, by which ye have polluted yourselves. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

³¹ Then ye shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season. But they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

⁴ Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasant to LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.

⁴¹ They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? ⁴³ Because of this I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

⁴⁸ But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming, ⁴⁹ and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, ⁵¹ and he will cut him in two, and place his share with the hypocrites. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁹ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

¹⁷ And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.

⁴⁵ But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, ⁴⁶ the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!

³⁰ Indeed therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands for all men everywhere to repent. ³¹ Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead.

⁴ Ye were discharged from the Christ, ye who are made righteous by law. Ye have fallen from grace.

³² But remember the former days, in which, after being enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings,

¹² Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth. ¹³ But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false.

¹⁶ Repent therefore, and if not I come to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁹ I know thy works, and thy love and faith and service and perseverance. And thy last works are more than the first.

²¹ And I gave her time so that she would repent, and she did not want to repent of her fornication. ²² Behold, I throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, if they do not repent of her works.

² Become thou watchful, and strengthen the remaining things that thou were going to throw away, for I have not found thy works made complete before my God. ³ Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

²⁰ And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they would not worship the demons, and the golden and silver and brass and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. ²¹ And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.

² And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Should thou help the wicked, and love those who hate LORD? For this thing wrath is upon thee from before LORD.

⁵ I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

³ I will set no base thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who turn aside. It shall not cleave to me.

²¹ Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate thee? And am I not grieved with those who rise up against thee? ²² I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

⁹ Every man transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, does not have God. The man abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, this man has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any man comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into a house, and do not speak to him to rejoice.

⁹ And out of the ground LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

²² And LORD God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever- ²³ therefore LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken. ²⁴ So he drove out the man. And he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.

³⁰ The fruit of a righteous man is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls.

¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

⁴ A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.

¹³ Thou were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambourine and of thy pipes was in thee. In the day that thou were created they were prepared.

⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not dim it. The fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches, nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.

¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ He who has ears, let him hear.

⁴³ Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁵ There is nothing outside the man, entering into him that can defile him, but the things coming out of him those are the things that defile the man.

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, today thou will be with me in the paradise.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, so that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation. But cheer up, I have overcome the world.

¹⁰ But God disclosed it to us through his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial. ⁸ For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit, ¹⁰ and to another, workings of miracles, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to a different man, kinds of tongues, and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills. ¹² For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.

⁴ that he was caught up into the paradise, and heard inexpressible sayings that are not permitted for a man to utter.

⁴ Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. He who overcomes will, no, not be hurt from the second death.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which none knows except he who receives it.

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. ²⁷ And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father. ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

⁵ He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents. ⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

¹² He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will, no, not go out any more. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem (it comes down out of the heaven from my God), and my new name. ¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

²¹ He who overcomes, I will give him to sit with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. ²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now it came to pass, the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. Because the accuser of our brothers was cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. And they loved not their life to the point of death.

⁹ If any man has an ear, let him hear.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils, and their works follow with them.

² And I saw like a glassy sea mingled with fire, and those who were victorious over the beast and over its image and over the number of its name, standing on the glassy sea, having harps of God.

⁷ He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him, and he will be a son to me.

² in the middle of its thoroughfare. And on this side of the river and on that was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

¹⁴ Blessed are those doing his commandments, so that their right will be to the tree of life, and they may enter in the gates into the city.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he who hears, let him say, Come. And he who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

¹¹ saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: 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 fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

¹ To the agent of the congregation in Ephesus write, These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to sent forth in deliverance those who have been broken,

²⁰ And having lifted up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God is what belongs to you.

²¹ So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.

⁶⁵ And they spoke many other things against him, railing against him.

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that it was necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.

¹¹ And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.

¹⁷ Behold, thou are called a Jew, and rely upon the law, and boast in God,

²⁸ For he is not a Jew in what is visible, nor is circumcision in what is visible, in flesh, ²⁹ but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.

³ And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,

³⁵ Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

⁶ But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel,

¹⁰ as grieving, but always rejoicing; as poor, but making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

² that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, even from the depth of their poverty, abounded for the wealth of their generosity,

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich.

⁴ For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

⁶ Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you, ⁷ and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

¹³ the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share,

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him? ⁶ But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts?

⁹ Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them so that they will come and bow down before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee.

¹⁷ Because thou say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that thou are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoint thine eyes, so that thou may see.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹² Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.

¹⁴ So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. ¹⁷ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. ¹⁸ But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou have set up.

³ For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.

²² And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

²⁸ And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

¹³ But he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life because of me and the good news, this man will save it.

¹³ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

⁴ And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things not having anything more severe to do. ⁵ But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him. ⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. ⁷ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.

¹² But before all these things, they will throw their hands on you, and will persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

¹⁶ And ye will be betrayed even by parents, and kinsmen, and friends, and brothers. And some of you they will condemn to death. ¹⁷ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name. ¹⁸ And, no, not a hair of your head will perish. ¹⁹ In your perseverance ye gain your souls.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

² And supper having occurred, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he would betray him,

²⁷ And after the morsel, then Satan entered into that man. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou do, do more quickly.

²⁴ But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

²⁵ And every man who strives for mastery exercises self-control in all things. Indeed therefore those men do it so that they might obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.

² in which ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience.

¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹² Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

⁶ In which ye greatly rejoice, although made sorrowful in various trials. Since it is now necessary for a little while, ⁷ so that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, and though proven by fire, may be found for praise and esteem and for glory at the revealing of Jesus Christ.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd is made known, ye will receive the unfading crown of glory.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant. Your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom to devour.

¹⁰ Because thou keep the word of my perseverance, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those who dwell upon the earth. ¹¹ I come quickly, hold firm what thou have, so that none may take thy crown.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, he who leads the whole world astray. He was cast out to the earth, and his agents were cast out with him.

² And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard. And its feet were like a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.

⁷ And it was given it to make war with the sanctified, and to overcome them. And authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to it.

¹⁵ And it was given it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak, and would make as many as would not ever worship the image of the beast be killed. ¹⁶ And it makes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the bondmen, that they would give them marks on their right hand, or on their foreheads. ¹⁷ And so that not any man can buy or sell unless having the mark-the name of the beast or the number of its name.

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat from the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of my God.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.

¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

⁸ But for the cowards, and unbelieving, and sinful, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

¹² For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹⁵ And a sharp two-edged sword comes out of his mouth, so that he would smite the nations by it. And he will tend them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of the Almighty God.

²¹ And the others were killed by the sword that comes forth out of his mouth (of him who sits upon the horse), and all the birds were filled from their flesh.

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.

⁹ Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

¹⁷ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name.

¹⁴ And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.

²⁰ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself also was standing by, and approving his killing, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.

⁸ But if any man does not provide for his own, and especially those belonging his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

¹³ Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.

¹² If we endure, we will also reign together. If we renounce him, that man will also renounce us.

⁶ but Christ as a Son over his house, whose house we are, if only we keep in possession our confidence and pride of hope, firm until the end.

²³ Let us hold firm the affirmation of the hope unwavering, for he who promised is faithful.

⁷ Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you?

³ Beloved, making all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the sanctified. ⁴ For certain men have sneaked in, those written about formerly for this condemnation, irreverent men, perverting the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying our only Master God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

²⁴ But I say to you, to those remaining in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who do not know, as they say, the deep things of Satan, I do not cast upon you another burden. ²⁵ But hold firm what ye have until I come.

³ Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.

⁸ I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee an opened door that none is able to shut it, because thou have little power, and thou keep my word, and did not deny my name. ⁹ Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them so that they will come and bow down before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee.

¹¹ I come quickly, hold firm what thou have, so that none may take thy crown.

¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹⁴ And now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.

¹ And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab, ² for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods. ³ And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor, and the anger of LORD was kindled against Israel.

⁸ And they killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.

¹⁶ Behold, these caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of LORD.

⁹ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you,

¹⁴ And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

²¹ Therefore thus says LORD: Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.

²⁰ Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but I will require his blood at thy hand.

¹² Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them, says the lord LORD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

⁷ Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks. For it is necessary that the stumbling-blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes.

²⁰ but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For Moses from generations past, has from city to city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues on every sabbath.

²⁹ to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.

²⁵ And about the Gentiles who have believed, we sent word, having decided for them to keep no such thing, except for them to guard against what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.

³² Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

⁹ And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.

¹³ Let us not therefore criticize each other any more, but judge ye this instead, not to place a stumbling block to the brother, or a snare.

²¹ It is good not to eat meats, nor to drink wine, nor in whatever thy brother stumbles against, or is caused to stumble, or becomes weak.

²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness.

¹³ The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴ And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up through his power. ¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are body-parts of Christ? Therefore, having taken the body-parts of the Christ, should I make them body-parts of a harlot? May it not happen! ¹⁶ Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh. ¹⁷ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.

² But because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

⁴ Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one. ⁵ For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords, ⁶ yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. ⁷ Nevertheless the knowledge is not in all men, but some, with conscience of the idol until now, eat as sacrificed to idols, and their weak conscience is defiled. ⁸ But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind. ⁹ But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For if some man sees thee, who has knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died. ¹² And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. ¹³ Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will no, not eat meat into the age, so that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

¹⁸ Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partakers of demons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of the Lord, and of a table of demons. ²² Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? ²³ All things are permitted for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are permitted for me, but not all things are constructive. ²⁴ Let not one man seek that of himself, but each man that of the other. ²⁵ Eat everything being sold in a meat market, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience, ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it. ²⁷ If any of those unbelievers invites you, and ye want to go, eat everything being set before you, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience. ²⁸ But if any man says to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it. ²⁹ And I say conscience, not the one of himself, but the one of the other man. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience? ³⁰ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I maligned about which I express thanks? ³¹ Therefore whether ye eat, or drink, or anything ye do, do all to the glory of God.

⁴ Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

⁸ and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.

¹⁵ having forsaken a straight path, they were led astray, men who followed the way of Balaam, son of Beor, who loved the wage of unrighteousness.

¹¹ Woe to them! Because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed to the error of Balaam's reward, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

⁴ Nevertheless, I have against thee because thou left thy first love.

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every man who loves and makes a lie.

² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

⁸ And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

⁵ Remember therefore from where thou have fallen, and repent and do the first works. And if not, I come to thee quickly, and will move thy lampstand out of its place, if thou do not repent.

⁷ And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

¹⁴ The friendship of LORD is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant.

⁸ They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou will make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

³² For the perverse man is an abomination to LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.

¹⁰ The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not intermeddle with its joy.

⁴ For thus says LORD of the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:

² And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of LORD shall name.

¹³ Therefore thus says the lord LORD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry. Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame.

¹⁵ And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the lord LORD will kill thee. And he will call his servants by another name,

¹¹ And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.

³² But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews therefore contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age.

¹⁴ Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually.

³ For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God.

⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

³ And they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And none could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, those who have been redeemed from the earth.

¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems having names written, and a name written that none knows except he himself, ¹³ and clothed in a garment dipped in blood. And his name is called The Word of God.

⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee.

¹⁷ And lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

³ And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread. ⁴ But having answered, he said, It is written, Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and stands him on the pinnacle of the temple. ⁶ And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and those with him watching over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that happened, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

³⁵ And having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

³⁶ whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed?

⁴ He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead-Jesus Christ our Lord-

³² He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

¹⁴ And his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire, ¹⁵ and his feet resembling highly refined metal, as in a furnace having been fiery hot, and his voice as the sound of many waters,

⁹ Yet the righteous shall hold on his way. And he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹⁴ They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green

¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

² Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he removes it. And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, so that it may bear more fruit.

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of agents, but have not love, I have become sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal. ² And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I dole out all things possessed by me, and if I deliver my body so that I may be burned, and have not love, I benefit nothing. ⁴ Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up. ⁵ It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil, ⁶ does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth, ⁷ covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. ⁸ Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will be abolished, whether tongues, they will cease, whether knowledge, it will be abolished.

¹⁴ and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.

⁶ But now of Timothy, having come to us from you, and having proclaimed good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye always have a good recollection of us, longing to see us, just as we also you,

⁵ But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.

⁸ And above all having fervent love for yourselves, because love will cover a multitude of sins,

⁷ and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him is the glory both now and into the day of the age. Truly.

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false. ³ And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary. ⁴ Nevertheless, I have against thee because thou left thy first love.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

¹⁵ Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and a man calls thee and thou eat of his sacrifice,

¹ And Israel abode in Shittim. And the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab, ² for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. And the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

³¹ And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

⁴ And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

¹³ And Elijah said to her, Fear not, go and do as thou have said. But make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.

¹ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and also how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. ² Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

⁷ And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry. I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. ⁸ So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt with Naboth. ⁹ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. ¹⁰ And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death. ¹¹ And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them. ¹² They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. ¹³ And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. And the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones. ¹⁴ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

²³ And LORD spoke also of Jezebel, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel. ²⁴ He who dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat. ²⁵ (But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

⁷ And thou shall smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

³⁰ And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window. ³¹ And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master's murderer? ³² And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? Who? And two or three eunuchs looked out to him. ³³ And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down. And some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. And he trampled her under foot. ³⁴ And when he came in, he ate and drank, and he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter. ³⁵ And they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶ Therefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This is the word of LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel, ³⁷ and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

²⁰ but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

¹⁰ For if some man sees thee, who has knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died. ¹² And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

¹⁸ Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What therefore do I say, that an idol is anything, or that a sacrifice to an idol is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become partakers of demons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. Ye cannot be partakers of a table of the Lord, and of a table of demons.

²⁸ But if any man says to you, This is a sacrifice to an idol, do not eat for the sake of that man who informed, and the conscience, for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.

⁴ Moreover thou shall say to them, Thus says LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall he turn away, and not return? ⁵ Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firm deceit. They refuse to return. ⁶ I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright. No man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his course as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.

⁴ Or do thou despise the wealth of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God guides thee to repentance? ⁵ But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

²² And if God, wanting to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

²⁰ who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.

⁹ The Lord is not slack about his promise, as some regard slackness, but is patient toward us, not wanting any to perish, but all to go forward to repentance.

¹⁵ And consider the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him,

¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works.

³ It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them, that they may return every man from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

³⁷ therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou have taken pleasure, and all those whom thou have loved, with all those whom thou have hated, I will even gather them against thee on every side. And I will uncover thy nakedness to them, that they may see all thy nakedness. ³⁸ And I will judge thee, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged. And I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places. And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels, and they shall leave thee naked and bare. ⁴⁰ They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. ⁴¹ And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women. And I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shall also give no wage any more.

³⁰ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says the lord LORD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity shall not be your ruin. ³¹ Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit. For why will ye die, O house of Israel? ³² For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the lord LORD, therefore turn yourselves back, and live.

²⁹ And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare. And the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

⁴⁵ And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands. ⁴⁶ For thus says the lord LORD: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed. ⁴⁷ And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.

¹¹ Say to them, As I live, says the lord LORD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

⁷ I said, Only fear thou me. Receive correction, so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.

³ I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all perish similarly.

⁵ I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all likewise perish.

²¹ lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.

²⁵ in meekness correcting those who oppose. Perhaps God may grant them repentance for recognition of the truth, ²⁶ and they may sober up out of the snare of the devil, having been captured by him for his will.

² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.

³ Because all the nations have drunk from the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her wantonness.

⁹ And the kings of the earth who fornicated and lived wantonly with her, will weep and will beat their breasts for her when they see the smoke of her burning,

¹⁸ so that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all men, both freemen and bondmen, and both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him who sits upon the horse, and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the others were killed by the sword that comes forth out of his mouth (of him who sits upon the horse), and all the birds were filled from their flesh.

¹¹ And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

¹³ And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

²⁰ And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.

²¹ And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

⁷ But LORD said to Samuel, Do not look on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For LORD sees not as man sees, for man looks on the outward appearance, but LORD looks on the heart.

⁹ And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found by thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

¹⁷ I know also, my God, that thou try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy thy people, who are present here, offer willingly to thee.

³⁰ then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know, (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of the sons of men),

⁹ O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

² Examine me, O LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

²¹ will not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

¹² Also to thee, O Lord, belongs loving kindness, for thou render to every man according to his work.

¹⁰ Say ye of the righteous, that it is well, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked! It is ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.

²⁰ But, O LORD of hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my case.

¹⁰ I, LORD, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

¹² But, O LORD of hosts, who tries the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my cause.

¹¹ Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone. All those who were laden with silver are cut off.

²⁷ For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do thou love me? And he said to him, Lord, thou know all things. Thou know that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁴ And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen

⁵ But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to each man according to his works, ⁷ to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life- ⁸ but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness-anger and wrath, ⁹ pressure and restriction, upon every soul of man who produces evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek, ¹⁰ but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.

²⁷ And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mentality of the Spirit, because he appeals to God for the sanctified.

¹² So then each of us will give account about himself to God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of the Christ, so that each man may receive back about the things that he did through the body, whether good or bad.

⁵ For each man will bear his own burden.

¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his presence, but all things are naked and vulnerable to his eyes, before whom is the word to us.

¹⁷ And if ye call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man's work, live the time of your sojourn in fear.

⁸ And behold, a green horse, and he who sits on top of it. His name was Death, and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with starvation, and with what is deadly, and by the beasts of the earth.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

²⁸ For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things:

¹¹ so that we may not be exploited by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his methods.

³ But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent enticed Eve by his craftiness, so your thoughts might be corrupted from the simplicity in the Christ.

¹¹ Put on the full armor of God to enable you to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things.

⁹ Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and marvels of deceit, ¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. ¹¹ And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie, ¹² so that they might be condemned-all those who did not believe the truth, but who delighted in unrighteousness.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, he who leads the whole world astray. He was cast out to the earth, and his agents were cast out with him.

¹⁴ And it leads my kind astray (those dwelling on the earth) because of the signs that were given it to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast that had the sword-wound and lived.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will take you along to myself, so that where I am, ye may be also.

²² Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me. ²³ This saying therefore went forth among the brothers, that that disciple does not die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die, but, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee?

²⁸ And one of them named Agabus, after standing up, signified by the Spirit there was going be a great famine in the whole world, which also happened under Claudius Caesar.

⁹ Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

¹⁴ Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire.

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.

²⁰ He who testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Truly. Yea, come, Lord Jesus!

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it.

¹⁸ But the sanctified of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

²² until the ancient of days came. And judgment was given to the sanctified of the Most High, and the time came that the sanctified possessed the kingdom.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the sanctified of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹³ And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. And these have no root, who believe for a time, and withdraw in time of trial. ¹⁴ And that which fell in the thorns, these are those who heard, and as they go they are choked by cares and wealth and pleasures of life, and do not bring to maturity. ¹⁵ But those in the good ground, these are those who in an good and right heart, having heard the word, hold it firm, and bring forth fruit in perseverance.

²⁹ And I appoint to you, just as my Father appointed to me a kingdom, ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in that man whom he has sent.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples, ³² and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

³⁷ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³ Know ye not that we will judge agents? Then why not mundane things? ⁴ Indeed therefore whenever ye have mundane legal disputes, men who are disdained by the church, these ye seat to judge.

⁵ Because of this, I too, no longer covering over it, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow he who tempts was tempting you, and our labor became in vain.

³⁸ But the righteous man will live from faith, and if he should withdraw, my soul is not pleased with him. ³⁹ But we are not of retreat for destruction, but of faith for the preservation of the soul.

²⁰ But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but-so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.

⁵ And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵ He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents.

¹² He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will, no, not go out any more. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem (it comes down out of the heaven from my God), and my new name.

²¹ He who overcomes, I will give him to sit with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them and the souls of those who were beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they lived, and reigned with the Christ the thousand years.

⁵ And there will be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp and the light of sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them. And they will reign into the ages of the ages.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

⁵ Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds. ⁶ The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand ⁷ to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, ⁸ to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, ⁹ to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD.

¹⁴ And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

¹¹ and shall say to them, Thus says LORD of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as a potter's vessel is broken, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth till there be no place to bury.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

²⁹ And I appoint to you, just as my Father appointed to me a kingdom,

²⁴ Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.

⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male who was going to tend all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was taken up to God and to his throne.

⁷⁸ because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us, ⁷⁹ to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my agent to testify these things to you for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
