¹⁹ '"Whosoever I may be fond of, I am exposing and disciplining. Be zealous, then, and repent!"

¹⁷ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias. "'"To the one who is conquering, to him will I be giving of the hidden manna, and I shall be giving him a white pebble and on the pebble a new name written, of which no one is aware except the one who is obtaining it."'"

²⁶ '"And to the one who is conquering and keeping My acts until the consummation, to him will I be giving authority over the nations;" ²⁷ and he shall be shepherding them with an iron club, as vessels of pottery are being crushed, as I also have obtained from My Father." ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

⁵ '"The one who is conquering, he shall be clothed in white garments, and under no circumstances will I be erasing his name from the scroll of life, and I will be avowing his name in front of My Father and before His messengers." ⁶ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

¹² '"The one who is conquering, him will I be making a pillar in the temple of My God, and he may be coming out nevermore, and I will be writing on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is descending out of heaven from My God, and My new name." ¹³ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

²¹ '"The one who is conquering, to him will I be granting to be seated with Me on My throne as I, also, conquer, and am seated with My Father on His throne." ²² '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

¹⁰ And I hear a loud voice in heaven saying, "Just now came the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brethren was cast out, who was accusing them before our God day and night." ¹¹ And they conquer him through the blood of the Lambkin, and through the word of their testimony, and they love not their soul, until death."

⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear."

¹³ And I hear a voice out of heaven, saying, "Write: 'Happy are the dead who are dying in the Lord henceforth! Yea, the spirit is saying that they will be resting from their toil, for their acts are following with them.'"

² And I perceived as it were a glassy sea, mixed with fire, and those who come off conquerors from the wild beast, and from its image, and from the number of its name, standing on the glassy sea, having the lyres of the Lord God."

⁷ He who is conquering shall be enjoying this allotment, and I shall be a God to him and he shall be a son to Me."

² In the center of its square, and on either side of the river, is the log of life, producing twelve fruits, rendering its fruit in accord with each month. And the leaves of the log are for the cure of the nations."

¹⁴ Happy are those who are rinsing their robes, that it will be their license to the log of life, and they may be entering the portals into the city."

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride are saying, 'Come!' and let him who is hearing say, 'Come!' And let him who is thirsting come. Let him who will, take the water of life gratuitously."

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega,is saying the Lord God, Who is and Who was and Who is coming, the Almighty."

¹¹ saying, "What you are observing write into a scroll and send it to the seven ecclesias: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."

¹⁷ And when I perceived Him, I fall at His feet as dead. And He places His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear! I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and the Living One: and I became dead, and lo! living am I for the eons of the eons. (Amen!) And I have the keys of death and of the unseen."

¹ To the messenger of the ecclesia in Ephesus write: `Now this He is saying Who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, Who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:"

¹⁰ Then Jesus is saying to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written,
The Lord your God shall you be worshiping,
And to Him only shall you be offering divine service."

¹⁸ The spirit of the Lord is on Me, On account of which He anoints Me to bring the evangel to the poor. He has commissioned Me to heal the crushed heart, To herald to captives a pardon, And to the blind the receiving of sight; To dispatch the oppressed with a pardon."

²⁰ And He, lifting up His eyes to His disciples, said "Happy are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God."

²¹ Thus is he who is hoarding for himself and is not rich for God."

⁶⁵ And many different things they said against Him, blaspheming."

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, besides entreating them to remain in the faith and saying that, "Through many afflictions must we be entering into the kingdom of God."

¹¹ And at all the synagogues, often punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme. Besides, being exceedingly maddened against them, I persecuted them as far as the outside cities also."

¹⁷ Lo! you are being denominated a Jew, and are resting on law, and are boasting in God,

²⁸ For not that which is apparent is the Jew, nor yet that which is apparent in flesh is circumcision;" ²⁹ but that which is hidden is the Jew, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose applause is not of men, but of God."

³ Yet not only so, but we may be glorying also in afflictions, having perceived that affliction is producing endurance,

³⁵ What shall be separating us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

⁶ Now it is not such as that the word of God has lapsed, for not all those out of Israel, these are Israel;"

¹⁰ as sorrowing, yet ever rejoicing, as poor, yet enriching many, as having nothing, and retaining all."

² for, in a test of much affliction, the superabundance of their joy and the corresponding depth of their poverty superabounds to the riches of their generosity,

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, because of you He became poor, that you, by His poverty, should be rich."

⁴ For even when we were with you, we predicted to you that "we are about to be afflicted,according as it came to be also, and you are aware."

⁶ if so be that it is just of God to repay affliction to those afflicting you, ⁷ and to you who are being afflicted, ease, with us, at the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful messengers,

¹³ I, who formerly was a calumniator and a persecutor and an outrager: but I was shown mercy, seeing that I do it being ignorant, in unbelief."

¹⁸ to be doing good acts, to be rich in ideal acts, to be liberal contributors,

⁵ Hear, my beloved brethren! Does not God choose the poor in the world, rich in faith and enjoyers of the allotment of the kingdom which He promises to those who are loving Him? ⁶ Yet you dishonor the poor one. Are not the rich tyrannizing over you? And they are drawing you to tribunals.

⁹ Lo! I have granted to those of the synagogue of Satan, (who are saying that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are lying) - Lo! I shall be making them that they will be arriving and worshiping, before your feet, and they may know that I love you."

¹⁷ Seeing that you are saying that 'Rich am I!' and 'Rich have I become, and of nothing have I need!' and you are not aware that you are wretched and forlorn and poor and blind and naked, ¹⁸ I am advising you to buy of Me gold refined by the fire, that you should be rich, and white garments, that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, that you may be observing."

¹⁴ And I have declared to him: "My lord, you are aware.And he said to me, "These are those coming out of the great affliction. And they rinse their robes, and they whiten them in the blood of the Lambkin."

¹² Pray, try out your servants ten days. They shall give to us of the seed-foods of the land, and we will eat; and water, we will drink."

¹⁴ Now he is hearkening to them in this thing and trying them out ten days,

¹⁶ Answering are Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and saying to king Nebuchadnezzar, "Not necessary is it for us to reply to you concerning this rescript." ¹⁷ Should it actually happen, our Eloah in the heavens, Whom we are serving, can deliver us from the glowing, flaming furnace; and from your hand, O king, will He deliver us." ¹⁸ Should He not, be it known to you, O king, that actually your elohim we will not serve, and the golden image that you set up we will not worship."

³ For the vision is yet for an appointed time; and it will bud at the end, and will not lie dormant. If it be dallying, tarry for it, for it will surely come, and it will not delay."

²² And you shall be hated by all because of My name. Yet he who endures to the consummation, he shall be saved."

²⁸ And do not fear those who are killing the body, yet are not able to kill the soul. Yet be fearing Him, rather, Who is able to destroy the soul as well as the body in Gehenna."

¹³ Yet he who endures to the consummation, he shall be saved."

³⁵ For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul will be destroying it, yet whoever shall be destroying his soul on account of Me and of the evangel will be saving it."

¹³ And you shall be hated by all because of My name. Yet he who endures to the consummation, he shall be saved."

⁴ Now I am saying to you, My friends, be not afraid of those who are killing the body and after this do not have anything more excessive that they can do." ⁵ Now I shall be intimating to you of Whom you may be afraid: Be afraid of Him Who, after killing, has authority to be casting into Gehenna. Yea, I am saying to you, of this One be afraid!" ⁶ Are not five sparrows selling for two pence?-and not one of them is forgotten in God's sight." ⁷ But even the hairs of your head have all been numbered. Then do not fear! You are of more consequence than many sparrows.

¹² Yet before all these things they shall be laying their hands on you and they shall be persecuting you, giving you up into the synagogues and jails, being led off to kings and governors on account of My name."

¹⁶ Yet you shall be given up by parents also, and brothers and relatives and friends, and they shall be putting some of you to death." ¹⁷ And you shall be hated by all because of My name. ¹⁸ And a hair of your head should by no means be perishing. ¹⁹ By your endurance shall you be acquiring your souls.

²⁵ He who is fond of his soul is destroying it, and he who is hating his soul in this world, shall be guarding it for life eonian."

² And at the coming of dinner, the Adversary already having cast into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, that he may be giving Him up,

²⁷ And after the morsel, then, Satan entered into that man. Jesus, then, is saying to him, "What you are doing, do more quickly."

²⁴ But of nothing have I a word, nor yet am I making my soul precious to myself, till I should be perfecting my career and the dispensation which I got from the Lord Jesus, to certify the evangel of the grace of God."

¹³ Then Paul answered and said, "What are you doing, lamenting and unnerving my heart? For I hold myself in readiness, not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

²⁵ Now every contender is controlling himself in all things; they, indeed, then, that they may be obtaining a corruptible wreath, yet we an incorruptible."

² in which once you walked, in accord with the eon of this world, in accord with the chief of the jurisdiction of the air, the spirit now operating in the sons of stubbornness "

¹² for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials."

⁷ I have contended the ideal contest. I have finished my career. I have kept the faith. ⁸ Furthermore, there is reserved for me the wreath of righteousness, which the Lord, the just Judge, will be paying to me in that day; yet not to me only, but also to all who love His advent."

¹² Happy is the man who is enduring trial, for, becoming qualified, he will be obtaining the wreath of life, which He promises to those loving Him."

⁶ in which you are exulting; briefly at present, if it must be, being sorrowed by various trials, ⁷ that the testing of your faith, much more precious than gold which is perishing, yet, being tested by fire, may be found for applause and glory and honor at the unveiling of Jesus Christ,

⁴ and, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, you shall be requited with an unfading wreath of glory."

⁸ Be sober! Watch! For your plaintiff, the Adversary, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking someone to swallow up;"

¹⁰ Seeing that you keep the word of My endurance, I, also, will be keeping you out of the hour of trial which is about to be coming on the whole inhabited earth to try those dwelling on the earth." ¹¹ I am coming swiftly! Hold what you have, that no one may be taking your wreath."

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent called Adversary and Satan, who is deceiving the whole inhabited earth. It was cast into the earth, and its messengers were cast with it."

² And the wild beast which I perceived was like a leopardess, and its feet were as a bear's, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gives it its power and its throne and great authority."

⁷ And to it was given to do battle with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given to it over every tribe and people and language and nation.

¹⁵ And it was given to it to give spirit to the image of the wild beast, that the image of the wild beast should be speaking also, and should be causing that whosoever should not be worshiping the image of the wild beast may be killed." ¹⁶ And it is causing all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they may be giving them an emblem on their right hand, or on their forehead, ¹⁷ and that no one may be able to buy or sell except the one having the emblem of the wild beast, or its name, or the number of its name."

⁷ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias. "'"To the one who is conquering, to him will I be granting to be eating of the log of life which is in the center of the paradise of God."'"

⁶ Happy and holy is he who is having part in the former resurrection! Over these the second death has no jurisdiction, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will be reigning with Him the thousand years."

¹⁴ And death and the unseen were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death-the lake of fire.

⁸ Yet the timid, and unbelievers, and the abominable, and murderers, and paramours, and enchanters, and idolaters, and all the false-their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

⁴ Yet He will judge with righteousness the poor, and correct with equity for the humble of the land. And He will smite the earth with the club of His mouth, and with the spirit of His lips will He put to death the wicked."

¹² For the word of God is living and operative, and keen above any two-edged sword, and penetrating up to the parting of soul and spirit, both of the articulations and marrow, and is a judge of the sentiments and thoughts of the heart."

¹⁵ And out of His mouth a sharp blade is issuing, that with it He should be smiting the nations. And He will be shepherding them with an iron club. And He is treading the wine trough of the fury of the indignation of God, the Almighty."

²¹ And the rest were killed with the blade which is coming out of the mouth of Him Who is sitting on the horse. And all the birds are satisfied with their flesh.

²³ Now, whenever they may be persecuting you in this city, flee into a different one, for, verily, I am saying to you, Under no circumstances should you be finishing the cities of Israel till the Son of Mankind may be coming."

⁹ Then shall they be giving you up to affliction, and they shall be killing you, and you shall be hated by all of the nations because of My name."

¹⁷ And you shall be hated by all because of My name.

¹⁴ And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are invoking Thy name."

²⁰ And when the blood of Stephen, Thy witness, was shed, I myself also was standing by, endorsing it, as well as guarding the garments of those who are assassinating him.'"

⁸ Now if anyone is not providing for his own, and especially his family, he has disowned the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."

¹³ Have a pattern of sound words, which you hear from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus."

¹² if we are enduring, we shall be reigning together also; if we are disowning, He also will be disowning us;"

⁶ Yet Christ, as a Son over His house-Whose house we are, that is, if we should be retaining the boldness and the glorying of the expectation confirmed unto the consummation."

²³ We may be retaining the avowal of the expectation without wavering, for faithful is He Who promises."

⁷ Are not they blaspheming the ideal name which is being invoked over you?

³ Beloved, giving all diligence to be writing to you concerning our common salvation and life, I have had the necessity to write to you, entreating you to be contending for the faith once given over to the saints." ⁴ For some men slip in who long ago have been written beforehand for this judgment; irreverent, bartering the grace of our God for wantonness, and disowning our only Owner and Lord, Jesus Christ."

⁹ '"I am aware of your acts and affliction and poverty (but you are rich) and the calumny of those saying that they themselves are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." ¹⁰ Fear nothing that you are about to be suffering. Lo! the Adversary is about to be casting some of you into jail that you may be tried, and you will be having affliction ten days. Become faithful until death, and I shall be giving you the wreath of life."

²⁴ Now to you am I saying, to the rest in Thyatira, whoever have not this teaching, who do not know the deep things of Satan,' as they are saying, that I will be casting on you no other burden." ²⁵ Moreover, what you have, hold until that time whenever I should be arriving."

³ Remember, then, how you have obtained, and hear; keep it and repent. If ever, then, you should not be watching, I shall be arriving on you as a thief, and under no circumstances will you be knowing what hour I shall be arriving on you."

⁸ '"I am aware of your acts. Lo! Before you have I granted an open door, which no one is able to lock, for you have a little power, and you keep My word and you do not disown My name." ⁹ Lo! I have granted to those of the synagogue of Satan, (who are saying that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are lying) - Lo! I shall be making them that they will be arriving and worshiping, before your feet, and they may know that I love you."

¹¹ I am coming swiftly! Hold what you have, that no one may be taking your wreath."

¹² Here is the endurance of the saints, who are keeping the precepts of God and the faith of Jesus."

¹⁴ And now, behold me going to my people. Come now! I shall counsel you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.

¹ While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people started to commit prostitution with the daughters of Moab, ² who called the people to the sacrifices of their elohim. The people ate their sacrifices and bowed themselves down to their elohim. ³ Thus Israel was paired with Baal-peor, and the anger of Yahweh grew hot against Israel.

⁸ As for the kings of Midian, they killed them along with their men wounded to death:Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba, five kings of Midian. Also Balaam son of Beor they killed with the sword.

¹⁶ Behold, they, by the word of Balaam, came to be for the sons of Israel the reason for a withdrawal from and an offense against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the stroke came to be in the congregation of Yahweh.

⁹ `And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, rises and fights against Israel, and sends and calls for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,

¹⁴ And he says, "Heap up! Heap up the highway! Surface the way! Heave the stumbling block from the way of my people!"

²¹ Therefore thus said Yahweh:Lo, I do give to this people stumbling blocks, And stumbled against them have fathers and sons together, The neighbor and his friend do perish."

²⁰ `And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dies; because you have not warned him, in his sin he dies, and not remembered is his righteousness that he has done, and his blood from your hand I require."

¹² Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh--and they have borne their iniquity."

⁷ Woe to the world because of snares! For it is a necessity for snares to be coming. Moreover, woe to that man through whom the snare is coming!"

²⁰ but to write an epistle to them to be abstaining from ceremonial pollution with idols, and prostitution, and what is strangled, and blood." ²¹ For Moses, from ancient generations, city by city, has those who are heralding him, being read on every sabbath in the synagogues."

²⁹ to be abstaining from idol sacrifices, and blood, and what is strangled and prostitution; from which, carefully keeping yourselves, you will be well engaged. Farewell!"

²⁵ Now concerning those of the nations who have believed, we write an epistle, deciding they are to guard themselves from idol sacrifice, besides from blood also, and what is strangled, and from prostitution."

³² Wherefore? Seeing that it is not out of faith, but as out of law works, they stumble on the stumbling stone,

⁹ And David is saying, Let their table become a trap and a mesh, And a snare and a repayment to them:"

¹³ By no means, then, should we still be judging one another, but rather decide this, not to place a stumbling block for a brother, or a snare."

²¹ It is ideal not to be eating meat, nor yet to be drinking wine, nor yet to do aught by which your brother is stumbling, or is being snared or weakened."

²³ yet we are heralding Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a snare, yet to the nations stupidity,

¹³ Foods for the bowels and the bowels for foods, yet God will be discarding these as well as those. Now the body is not for prostitution, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body." ¹⁴ Now God rouses the Lord also, and will be rousing us up through His power." ¹⁵ Are you not aware that your bodies are members of Christ? Taking, then, the members of Christ away, should I be making them members of a prostitute? May it not be coming to that!" ¹⁶ Or are you not aware that he who joins a prostitute is one body? For, He is averring, the two will be one flesh." ¹⁷ Now he who joins the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee from prostitution. The penalty of every sin, whatsoever a man should be doing, is outside of the body, yet he who is committing prostitution is sinning against his own body."

² Yet, because of prostitutions, let each man have a wife for himself and each woman have her own husband."

⁴ Then, concerning the feeding on the idol sacrifices: We are aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except One." ⁵ For even if so be that there are those being termed gods, whether in heaven or on earth, even as there are many gods and many lords, ⁶ nevertheless for us there is one God, the Father, out of Whom all is, and we for Him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom all is, and we through Him." ⁷ But not in all is there this knowledge. Now some, used hitherto to the idol, are eating of it as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, being weak, is being polluted." ⁸ Now food will not give us a standing with God, neither, if we should not be eating are we in want, nor if we should be eating are we cloyed." ⁹ Now beware lest somehow this right of yours may become a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if anyone should be seeing you, who has knowledge, lying down in an idol's shrine, will not the conscience of him who is weak be inured to the eating of the idol sacrifices? ¹¹ For the weak one is perishing also by your knowledge; the brother because of whom Christ died. ¹² Now in thus sinning against brethren, and beating their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ." ¹³ Wherefore, if food is snaring my brother, I may under no circumstances be eating meat for the eon, lest I should be snaring my brother."

¹⁸ Observe Israel according to the flesh. Are not those eating the sacrifices participants with the altar? ¹⁹ What, then, am I averring? That an idol sacrifice is anything? Or that an idol is anything? ²⁰ But that that which the nations are sacrificing, they are sacrificing to demons and not to God. Now I do not want you to become participants with the demons." ²¹ You can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can not be partaking of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. ²² Or are we provoking the Lord to jealousy? Not stronger that He are we! ²³ All is allowed me, but not all is expedient. All is allowed me, but not all is edifying." ²⁴ Let no one be seeking the welfare of himself, but that of another." ²⁵ Everything that is sold at the meat market be eating, examining nothing because of conscience." ²⁶ For "the Lord's is the earth and that which fills it." ²⁷ If anyone of the unbelievers is inviting you, and you want to go, be eating everything that is placed before you, examining nothing because of conscience." ²⁸ Yet if anyone should be saying to you, "This is a sacred sacrifice,do not eat, because of that one who divulges it, and conscience." ²⁹ Yet conscience, I am saying, not that of yourself, but that of another. For why is my freedom being decided by another's conscience? ³⁰ If I, with gratitude, am partaking, why am I being calumniated for that for which I am giving thanks? ³¹ Then, whether you are eating or drinking, or anything you are doing, do all for the glory of God."

⁴ May matrimony be honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, for paramours and adulterers will God be judging."

⁸ and a stumbling stone and a snare rock; who are stumbling also at the word, being stubborn, to which they were appointed also."

¹⁵ Leaving the straight path, they were led astray, following out the path of Balaam of Beor, who loves the wages of injustice,

¹¹ Woe to them! for they went in the way of Cain, and in the deception of Balaam's wages were they poured out, and in the contradiction of Korah they perished."

⁴ But I have against you that you leave your first love.

¹⁵ Outside are curs, and enchanters, and paramours, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone fabricating and fondling falsehood."

² And He is constituting my mouth as a sharp sword. In the shadow of His hand He hides me. And He is constituting me a choice arrow. In His quiver He conceals me.

¹⁷ And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is a declaration of God."

⁸ then will be unveiled the lawless one (whom the Lord Jesus will despatch with the spirit of His mouth and will discard by the advent of His presence),

⁵ Remember, then, whence you have fallen, and repent, and do the former acts. Yet if not, I am coming to you, and shall be moving your lampstand out of its place, if ever you should not be repenting."

⁷ And lo! I am coming swiftly! Happy is he who is keeping the sayings of the prophecy of this scroll."

¹⁴ The intimacy of Yahweh is for those fearing Him, And His covenant, to give them knowledge."

⁸ They are satiated with the richness of Your House, And You give them the watercourse of Your luxuries to drink;"

³² For the devious man is an abhorrence to Yahweh, Yet His intimacy is with the upright."

¹⁰ The heart knows its own bitterness of soul, And in its rejoicing no alien can partake."

⁴ For thus says Yahweh, "To the eunuchs who will keep `My sabbaths, and choose that in which I delight, and hold fast to My covenant,

² And the nations see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you are called by a new name, which the mouth of Yahweh will specify."

¹³ Therefore, thus says my Lord Yahweh, "Behold! My servants shall eat, yet you shall be famished. Behold! My servants shall drink, yet you shall thirst. Behold! My servants shall rejoice, yet you shall be ashamed."

¹⁵ And you leave your name for an oath to My chosen.And you are put to death by my Lord Yahweh; yet He shall call His servants by another name."

¹¹ Now, answering, He said to them that "To you has it been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, yet to those it has not been given."

³² Yet He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you are not aware."

⁴⁸ I am the Bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died." ⁵⁰ This is the Bread which is descending out of heaven that anyone may be eating of it and may not be dying. ⁵¹ I am the living Bread which descends out of heaven. If anyone should be eating of this Bread, he shall be living for the eon. Now the Bread also, which I shall be giving for the sake of the life of the world, is My flesh." ⁵² The Jews, then, fought with one another, saying, "How then can this one give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus, then, said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If you should not be eating the flesh of the Son of Mankind and drinking His blood, you have no eonian life in yourselves." ⁵⁴ He who is masticating My flesh and drinking My blood has life eonian, and I shall be raising him in the last day, ⁵⁵ for My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink." ⁵⁶ He who is masticating My flesh and drinking My blood is remaining in Me, and I in him." ⁵⁷ According as the living Father commissions Me, I, also, am living because of the Father. And he who is masticating Me, he also will be living because of Me." ⁵⁸ This is the Bread which descends out of heaven. Not according as the fathers ate and died; he who is masticating this Bread shall be living for the eon."

¹⁴ Now the soulish man is not receiving those things which are of the spirit of God, for they are stupidity to him, and he is not able to know them, seeing that they are spiritually examined."

³ for you died, and your life is hid together with Christ in God."

⁶ '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

²² '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"

³ And they are singing a new song before the throne and before the four animals and before the elders. And no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth."

¹² Now His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems, having names written of which no one except Himself is aware, ¹³ and He is clothed in a cloak dipped in blood, and His name is called "The Word of God."

⁷ Let me recount the statute of Yahweh:He has said to Me, My Son are You; I, today, have begotten You.

¹⁷ And lo! a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight."

³ And, approaching, the trier said to Him, "If you are God's Son, say that these stones may be becoming cakes of bread." ⁴ Yet He, answering, said, "It is written, 'Not on bread alone shall man be living, but on every declaration going out through the mouth of God.'" ⁵ Then the Adversary is taking Him along into the holy city, and stands Him on the wing of the sanctuary. ⁶ And he is saying to Him. "If you are God's Son, cast yourself down, for it is written that
'His messengers shall be directed concerning Thee'
and
'On their hands shall they be lifting Thee,
Lest at some time Thou shouldst be dashing Thy foot against a stone.'"

⁵ While he is still speaking, lo! a luminous cloud overshadows them, and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight. Hear Him!"

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and those with him who are keeping Jesus, perceiving the quake and the occurrences, were tremendously afraid, saying, "Truly this was God's Son!"

³⁵ And answering, the messenger said to her, "Holy spirit shall be coming on you, and the power of the Most High shall be overshadowing you; wherefore also the holy One Who is being generated shall be called the Son of God."

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us, and we gaze at His glory, a glory as of an only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and is saying to Him, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God! Thou art the King of Israel!"

¹⁶ For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian."

¹⁸ He who is believing in Him is not being judged; yet he who is not believing has been judged already, for he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God."

³⁵ The Father is loving the Son and has given all into His hand." ³⁶ He who is believing in the Son has life eonian, yet he who is stubborn as to the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation of God is remaining on him."

²⁵ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that coming is an hour, and now is, when the dead shall be hearing the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall be living."

³⁶ are you saying to Him Whom the Father hallows and dispatches into the world that 'You are blaspheming,' seeing that I said, 'Son of God am I'?

³⁶ Now as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch is averring, "Lo! Water! What is preventing me from being baptized?

⁴ Who is designated Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead),

³² Surely, He Who spares not His own Son, but gives Him up for us all, how shall He not, together with Him, also, be graciously granting us all?

¹⁴ Now His head and hair are white as white wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire, ¹⁵ and His feet like white bronze, as fired in a furnace, and His voice is as the sound of many waters."

⁹ But the righteous one holds to his way, And the one of clean hands continues in resoluteness.

¹⁴ They shall still produce when greyhaired; They shall be sleek and flourishing,

¹⁸ While the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn's brightness, Advancing and becoming resplendent until the day is established,

² Every branch in Me bringing forth no fruit, He is taking it away, and every one bringing forth fruit, He is cleansing it, that it may be bringing forth more fruit."

¹ If I should be speaking in the languages of men and of the messengers, yet should have no love, I have become resounding copper or a clanging cymbal." ² And if I should have prophecy and should be perceiving all secrets and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so as to transport mountains, yet have no love, I am nothing." ³ And if ever I should be morselling out all my possessions, and if I should be giving up my body, that I should be boasting, yet may have no love, in nothing do I benefit." ⁴ Love is patient, is kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not bragging, is not puffed up, ⁵ is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not incensed, is not taking account of evil, ⁶ is not rejoicing in injustice, yet is rejoicing together with the truth, ⁷ is forgoing all, is believing all, is expecting all, is enduring all." ⁸ Love is never lapsing: yet, whether prophecies, they will be discarded, or languages, they will cease, or knowledge, it will be discarded."

¹⁴ Now over all these put on love, which is the tie of maturity."

⁶ Yet at present, because of Timothy's coming to us from you, and bringing us the evangel of your faith and your love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, longing to see us even as we also you -"

⁵ Now the consummation of the charge is love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith,

⁸ before all, having earnest love among yourselves, for love is covering a multitude of sins."

⁷ yet in devoutness brotherly fondness, yet in brotherly fondness love."

¹⁸ Yet be growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory now, as well as for the day of the eon. Amen!"

² I am aware of your acts, and your toil, and your endurance, and that you can not bear evil men, and you try those saying that they themselves are apostles, and they are not, and you found them false;" ³ and you have endurance, and you bear because of My name, and are not wearied." ⁴ But I have against you that you leave your first love.

¹³ '"I am aware where you are dwelling-where the throne of Satan is-and you are holding My name, and do not disown My faith in the days in which Antipas, My faithful witness, was killed among you, where Satan is dwelling."

¹⁵ lest you contract a covenant with the dweller of the land when they prostitute after their elohim and sacrifice to their elohim lest one call to you that you eat of his sacrifice.

¹ While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people started to commit prostitution with the daughters of Moab, ² who called the people to the sacrifices of their elohim. The people ate their sacrifices and bowed themselves down to their elohim.

³¹ And it comes to pass--has it been light his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat? --then he takes a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goes and serves Baal, and bows himself to it,

⁴ and it has been, from the brook you do drink, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain you there..

¹³ And Elijah said unto her, `Fear not, go, do according to your word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and you have brought out to me; and for you and for your son make--last;"

¹ And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all how he slew all the prophets by the sword, ² and Jezebel sends a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus does the elohims, and thus do they add, surely about this time to-morrow, I make your life as the life of one of them..

⁷ And Jezebel his wife said unto him, `You now do execute rule over Israel! rise, eat bread, and let your heart be glad, --I do give to you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.. <sup>8</sup> And she writes letters in the name of Ahab, and seals with his seal, and sends the letters unto the elders, and unto the freemen, who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth, <sup>9</sup> and she writes in the letters, saying, `Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people, ¹⁰ and cause two men--sons of worthlessness--to sit over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, You have blessed Elohim and Melech; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dies.. ¹¹ And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel has sent unto them, as written in the letters that she sent unto them, ¹² they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people, ¹³ and two men--sons of worthlessness--come in, and sit over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed Elohim and Melech;' and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dies;" <sup>14</sup> and they send unto Jezebel, saying, `Naboth was stoned, and is dead.. ¹⁵ And it comes to pass, at Jezebel's hearing that Naboth has been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel said unto Ahab, `Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead..

²³ `And also of Jezebel has Yahweh spoken, saying, The dogs do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;" ²⁴ him who dies of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dies in a field do fowl of the heavens eat;" ²⁵ surely there has none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife has moved,

⁷ and you have smitten the house of Ahab your lord, and I have required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, from the hand of Jezebel;"

³⁰ And Jehu comes in to Jezreel, and Jezebel has heard, and puts her eyes in paint and makes right her head, and looks out through the window. ³¹ And Jehu has come into the gate, and she said, `Was there peace [to] Zimri--slayer of his lord?. <sup>32</sup> And he lifts up his face unto the window, and said, `Who [is] with me? --who?' and look out unto him do two [or] three eunuchs;" ³³ And he said, `Let her go;' and they let her go, and [some] of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treads her down. <sup>34</sup> And he comes in, and eats, and drinks, and said, `Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, and bury her, for she [is] a king's daughter.. ³⁵ And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands. ³⁶ And they turn back, and declare to him, and he said, `The word of Yahweh it [is], that He spoke by the hand of this servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel, ³⁷ and the carcase of Jezebel has been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, This [is] Jezebel..

²⁰ but to write an epistle to them to be abstaining from ceremonial pollution with idols, and prostitution, and what is strangled, and blood."

¹⁰ For if anyone should be seeing you, who has knowledge, lying down in an idol's shrine, will not the conscience of him who is weak be inured to the eating of the idol sacrifices? ¹¹ For the weak one is perishing also by your knowledge; the brother because of whom Christ died. ¹² Now in thus sinning against brethren, and beating their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ."

¹⁸ Observe Israel according to the flesh. Are not those eating the sacrifices participants with the altar? ¹⁹ What, then, am I averring? That an idol sacrifice is anything? Or that an idol is anything? ²⁰ But that that which the nations are sacrificing, they are sacrificing to demons and not to God. Now I do not want you to become participants with the demons." ²¹ You can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can not be partaking of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

²⁸ Yet if anyone should be saying to you, "This is a sacred sacrifice,do not eat, because of that one who divulges it, and conscience."

⁴ And you have said unto them:Thus said Yahweh, Do they fall, and not rise? Does he turn back, and not return? ⁵ Wherefore has this people of Jerusalem Turned back--a perpetual backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back." ⁶ I have given attention, yea, I hearken, They do not speak right, No man has repented of his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Every one has turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle."

⁴ Or are you despising the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, being ignorant that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance? ⁵ Yet, in accord with your hardness and unrepentant heart you are hoarding for yourself indignation in the day of indignation and revelation of the just judgment of God,

²² Now if God, wanting to display His indignation and to make His powerful doings known, carries, with much patience, the vessels of indignation, adapted for destruction,

²⁰ He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water,

⁹ The Lord is not tardy as to the promise, as some are deeming tardiness, but is patient because of you, not intending any to perish, but all to make room for repentance."

¹⁵ And be deeming the patience of our Lord salvation, according as our beloved brother Paul also writes to you, according to the wisdom given to him,

¹¹ and blaspheme the God of heaven for their miseries and for their ulcers; and they do not repent of their acts.

³ if so be the house of Israel do hear all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they turn back each from is evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to their sin.'"

³⁷ Therefore, lo, I am assembling all your lovers, To whom you have been sweet, And all whom you have loved, Besides all whom you have hated; And I have assembled them by you round about, And have revealed your nakedness to them, And they have seen all your nakedness." ³⁸ And I have judged you--judgments of adulteresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given you blood, fury, and jealousy." ³⁹ And I have given you into their hand, And they have thrown down your arch, And they have broken down your high places, And they have stript you of your garments, And they have taken your beauteous vessels, And they have left you naked and bare." ⁴⁰ And have caused an assembly to come up against you, And stoned you with stones, And thrust you through with their swords, ⁴¹ And burnt your houses with fire, And done in you judgments before the eyes of many women, And I have caused you to cease from going a-whoring, And also a gift you give no more."

³⁰ Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, Turn you back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block, ³¹ Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which you have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do you die, O house of Israel? ³² For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, And turn you back and live!"

²⁹ And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And revealed has been the nakedness of your whoredoms, And the wickedness of your whoredoms."

⁴⁵ As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands." ⁴⁶ For thus said the Lord Yahweh:Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling." ⁴⁷ And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn." ⁴⁸ And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness."

¹¹ Say unto them, I live--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But--in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he has lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do you die, O house of Israel?

⁷ I say, Yea, you shall fear Me; you shall take discipline. And all which I have visited upon her is not being cut off from her eyes. Being prepared, they rose early; they ruined all their practices."

³ No, I am saying to you. But if you should not be repenting, you all shall likewise be perishing."

⁵ No, I am saying to you. But if ever you should not be repenting, all of you similarly shall be perishing."

²¹ Not again at my coming will my God be humbling me toward you, and I shall be mourning for many who have sinned before and are not repenting of the uncleanness and prostitution and wantonness which they commit."

²⁵ with meekness training those who are antagonizing, seeing whether God may be giving them repentance to come into a realization of the truth, ²⁶ and they will be sobering up out of the trap of the Adversary, having been caught alive by him, for that one's will."

² with whom the kings of the earth commit prostitution, and those dwelling on the earth are made drunk with the wine of her prostitution."

³ for, as a result of the wine of the fury of her prostitution have all the nations fallen. And the kings of the earth commit prostitution with her,and the merchants of the earth are rich as a result of her power to indulge."

⁹ And the kings of the earth, who commit prostitution and indulge with her, will be lamenting and grieving over her whenever they may be observing the smoke of her conflagration,

¹⁸ that you may be eating the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all freemen as well as slaves, and of small and of great." ¹⁹ And I perceived the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered to do battle with Him Who is sitting on the horse and with His army." ²⁰ And the wild beast is arrested, and with it the false prophet who does the signs in its sight, by which he deceives those getting the emblem of the wild beast, and those worshiping its image. Living, the two were cast into the lake of fire burning with sulphur." ²¹ And the rest were killed with the blade which is coming out of the mouth of Him Who is sitting on the horse. And all the birds are satisfied with their flesh.

¹¹ Thus all Israel shall hearken and fear, and they shall not again do anything like this evil thing among you.

¹³ and all the people shall hear and fear, and not act arrogantly again.

²⁰ The remainder shall hearken and fear, and they shall no longer continue to do anything like this evil matter among you.

²¹ Then all the men of his city will pelt him with stones so that he dies. Thus you will eradicate the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.

⁷ And Yahweh said unto Samuel, `Look not unto his appearance, and unto the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees--for man looks at the eyes, and Yahweh looks at the heart..

⁹ `And you, Solomon, my son, know the Elohim of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Yahweh seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if you do seek Him, He is found of you, and if you do forsake Him, He casts you off for ever.

¹⁷ `And I have known, my Elohim, that You are trying the heart, and uprightness do desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these:and now, Your people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to You.

³⁰ then You do hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You--You only--have known the heart of the sons of men),

⁹ O let the evil of the wicked reach an end, And may You establish the righteous one, Testing the hearts and innermost being, O righteous Elohim.

² Test me, O Yahweh, and try me; Do refine my innermost being and my heart."

²¹ Would not Elohim Himself investigate this? For He is knowing the obscured secrets of the heart.

¹² And to You, O Yahweh belongs benignity, For You Yourself shall pay each man according to his deeds."

¹⁰ Say to the righteous that good is his portion, for the fruit of their actions are they eating." ¹¹ Alack to the wicked one; evil is his portion, for the requital of his hands is returning to him."

²⁰ And O Yahweh of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Your vengeance against them, For unto You I have revealed my cause.'"

¹⁰ I Yahweh do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings."

¹² And, O Yahweh of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder of reins and heart, I do see Your vengeance out of them, For unto You I have revealed my cause."

¹¹ Howl, dwellers of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are stilled; all transporters of silver are cut off."

²⁷ Verily I am saying to you that there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the Son of Mankind coming in His kingdom."

²⁴ Yet Jesus Himself did not entrust Himself to them, because of His knowing all men, ²⁵ for He had no need that anyone should be testifying concerning mankind, for He knew what was in mankind."

¹⁷ He is saying to him the third time, "Simon of John, are you fond of Me?Peter was sorry that He said to him the third time "Are you fond of Me?and he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art aware of all things! Thou knowest that I am fond of Thee.And Jesus is saying to him, "Graze My little sheep!"

²⁴ And praying, they say, "Thou, Lord, Knower of all hearts, indicate one whom Thou choosest,

⁵ Yet, in accord with your hardness and unrepentant heart you are hoarding for yourself indignation in the day of indignation and revelation of the just judgment of God, ⁶ Who will be paying each one in accord with his acts: ⁷ to those, indeed, who by endurance in good acts are seeking glory and honor and incorruption, life eonian;" ⁸ yet to those of faction and stubborn, indeed, as to the truth, yet persuaded to injustice, indignation and fury, ⁹ affliction and distress, on every human soul which is effecting evil, both of the Jew first and of the Greek, ¹⁰ yet glory and honor and peace to every worker of good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek." ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God,

²⁷ Now He Who is searching the hearts is aware what is the disposition of the spirit, for in accord with God is it pleading for the saints."

¹² Consequently, then, each of us shall be giving account concerning himself to God."

¹⁰ For all of us must be manifested in front of the dais of Christ, that each should be requited for that which he puts into practice through the body, whether good or bad."

⁵ for each one shall be bearing his own load.

¹³ And there is not a creature which is not apparent in its sight. Now all is naked and bare to the eyes of Him to Whom we are accountable.

¹⁷ And if you are invoking the Father, Who is judging impartially according to each one's work, you may behave, for the time of your sojourn, with fear,

⁸ And I perceived, and lo! a greenish horse, and the name of him who is sitting upon it is Death, and the Unseen followed him. And jurisdiction was given them over the fourth of the earth, to kill with the blade and with famine and with death and by the wild beasts of the earth."

¹² And I perceived the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And the scrolls were opened. And another scroll was opened which is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged by that which is written in the scrolls in accord with their acts."

²⁸ For it seems good to the holy spirit and to us in nothing to be placing one more burden on you save these essentials:

¹¹ lest we may be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of the things he apprehends."

³ Yet I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deludes Eve by its craftiness, your apprehensions should be corrupted from the singleness and pureness which is in Christ. "

¹¹ Put on the panoply of God, to enable you to stand up to the stratagems of the Adversary, ¹² for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials."

⁹ whose presence is in accord with the operation of Satan, with all power and signs and false miracles" ¹⁰ and with every seduction of injustice among those who are perishing, because they do not receive the love of the truth for their salvation." ¹¹ And therefore God will be sending them an operation of deception, for them to believe the falsehood, ¹² that all may be judged who do not believe the truth, but delight in injustice."

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent called Adversary and Satan, who is deceiving the whole inhabited earth. It was cast into the earth, and its messengers were cast with it."

¹⁴ And it is deceiving those dwelling on the earth because of the signs which were given it to do in the sight of the wild beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the wild beast which has the blow of the sword and lives."

³ And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be."

²² Jesus is saying to him, "If I should be wanting him to be remaining till I am coming, what is it to you? You be following Me!" ²³ This word, then, came out to the brethren, that that disciple is not dying. Now Jesus did not say to him that he is not dying, but, "If I should be wanting him to be remaining till I am coming, what is it to you?

²⁸ Now one of them, named Agabus, rising, signifies through the spirit, the great famine which is about to be on the whole inhabited earth, which occurred under Claudius."

⁹ Let love be unfeigned. Abhorring that which is wicked, clinging to good,

⁵ So that, be not judging anything before the season, till the Lord should be coming, Who will also illuminate the hidden things of darkness and manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then applause will be coming to each one from God."

²⁶ For as often as you are eating this bread and drinking this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until He should be coming."

¹⁴ Having, then, a great Chief Priest, Who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, we may be holding to the avowal."

¹⁰ Now the day of the Lord will be arriving as a thief, in which the heavens shall be passing by with a booming noise, yet the elements shall be dissolved by combustion, and the earth and the works in it shall be found."

⁷ Lo! He is coming with clouds, and every eye shall be seeing Him-those, also, who stab Him-and all the tribes of the land shall be grieving over Him. Yea! Amen!"

²⁰ He Who is testifying these things is saying, 'Yea, I am coming swiftly.'"Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!"

⁸ Ask of Me, And I will give the nations as Your allotment, And as Your holding, the limits of the earth.

¹⁴ Like the flock, they are set for the unseen; Death, it shall graze on them. The upright shall sway over them in the morning; Their form is for decay, the unseen their residence."

¹⁸ Yet the saints of the supremacies shall receive the kingdom and they will safeguard the kingdom unto the eon, even unto the eon of the eons."

²² till the Transferrer of Days arrives, and adjudication is granted to the saints of the supremacies, and the stated time is reached, and the kingdom is safeguarded by the saints."

²⁷ And the kingdom and the jurisdiction and the majesty of the kingdom under the entire heavens will be granted to the people of the saints of the supremacies. Their kingdom is an eonian kingdom, and all other authorities shall serve and hearken to them."

²⁸ Yet Jesus said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you, that you who follow Me, in the renascence whenever the Son of Mankind should be seated on the throne of His glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

¹³ Now those on the rock are those who, whenever they should be hearing, with joy are receiving the word. And these have no root, who are believing for a season and, in a season of trial, are withdrawing." ¹⁴ Now that falling among the thorns, these are those who hear and, by worries and riches, and by the gratifications of life, going on, stifle, and are bringing nothing to maturity." ¹⁵ Now that in the ideal earth, these are they who, in a heart ideal and good, hearing the word, are retaining it and are bearing fruit with endurance."

²⁹ And I am covenanting a covenant with you, according as My Father covenanted a kingdom to Me, ³⁰ that you may be eating and drinking at My table in My kingdom. And you will be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you may be believing in that One Whom He commissions."

³¹ Jesus, then, said to the Jews who have believed Him, "If ever you should be remaining in My word, you are truly My disciples, ³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will be making you free."

³⁷ Nay! in all these we are more than conquering through Him Who loves us.

³ Are you not aware that we shall be judging messengers, not to mention life's affairs? ⁴ If indeed, then, you should have tribunals for life's affairs, the contemptible in the ecclesia, these you are seating?

⁵ Therefore, when I also could by no means longer refrain, I send to know of your faith, lest somehow the trier tries you and our toil may be coming to be for naught."

³⁸ Now My "just one by faith shall be living,and "If he should ever be shrinking, My soul is not delighting in him." ³⁹ Yet we are not of those shrinking back to destruction, but of faith for the procuring of the soul."

²⁰ Now are you wanting to know, O empty man, that faith apart from works is dead?

¹⁹ Out of us they come, but they were not of us, for if they were of us, they would have remained with us. But it was that they may be manifested that they are not all of us. "

²³ And this is His precept, that we should be believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and may be loving one another according as He gives us a precept."

⁵ Now who is he who is conquering the world if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵ '"The one who is conquering, he shall be clothed in white garments, and under no circumstances will I be erasing his name from the scroll of life, and I will be avowing his name in front of My Father and before His messengers."

¹² '"The one who is conquering, him will I be making a pillar in the temple of My God, and he may be coming out nevermore, and I will be writing on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is descending out of heaven from My God, and My new name."

²¹ '"The one who is conquering, to him will I be granting to be seated with Me on My throne as I, also, conquer, and am seated with My Father on His throne."

⁴ And I perceived thrones, and they are seated on them, and judgment was granted to them. And the souls of those executed because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who do not worship the wild beast or its image, and did not get the emblem on their forehead and on their hand- they also live and reign with Christ a thousand years."

⁵ And night shall be no more, and they have no need of lamplight and sunlight, for the Lord God shall be illuminating them. And they shall be reigning for the eons of the eons."

⁸ Ask of Me, And I will give the nations as Your allotment, And as Your holding, the limits of the earth. ⁹ You shall smash them with a club of iron; Like a vessel of a potter, You shall shatter them.

⁵ May the benign ones be joyous in this glory; May they be jubilant upon their beds. ⁶ May exaltations of El be in their throat And a serrated sword in their hand, ⁷ To execute vengeance on the nations, Corrections on the national groups;" ⁸ To bind their kings with manacles And their glorious nobles with fetters of iron, ⁹ To execute the written judgment against them, This is the honor of all His benign ones. Praise Yah."

¹⁴ And it is broken as the breaking of a potter's crock. Pounding He will not spare. And, when it has been pounded, a shard will not be found to bank a fire from glowing coals, or to bare the water from a pool."

¹¹ and have said unto them:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaks the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury--without place to bury;"

²⁷ All was given up to Me by My Father. And no one is recognizing the Son except the Father; neither is anyone recognizing the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son should be intending to unveil Him."

²⁹ And I am covenanting a covenant with you, according as My Father covenanted a kingdom to Me,

²⁴ Father, those whom Thou hast given Me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with Me, that they may be beholding My glory which Thou has given Me, for Thou lovest Me before the disruption of the world."

⁵ And she brought forth a son, a male, who is about to be shepherding all the nations with an iron club. And her child is snatched away to God and to His throne."

⁷⁸ Because of the merciful compassions of our God, In which the Dayspring from on high visits us, ⁷⁹ To make Its advent to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, To direct our feet into the path of peace."

¹⁹ And we are having the prophetic word more confirmed, which you, doing ideally, are heeding (as to a lamp appearing in a dingy place, till the day should be breaking and the morning star should be rising) in your hearts,

¹⁶ I, Jesus, send My messenger to testify these things to you in the ecclesias. I am the root and the race of David, the resplendent morning star."
