1 Corinthians Cross References - Etheridge

¹ PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother, ² to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁴ I give thanks to Aloha at all times on your behalf for the grace of Aloha which is given to you through Jeshu Meshiha, ⁵ because in every thing you are enriched in him in all utterance and in all knowledge, ⁶ according to the testimony of the Meshiha, which is confirmed in you. ⁷ That you may not be deficient in one of his gifts, but be expecting the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ⁸ who will confirm you to the end, that you may be without fault in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord. ¹⁰ But I beseech of you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you have all one doctrine, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfect in one mind and one sentiment. ¹¹ For they of the house of Kloë have sent to me concerning you, my brethren, that there are contentions among you. ¹² For this I say, that there are some of you who say, I am of Paulos; and some who say, I am of Apollo; and some who say, I am of Kipha; and some who say, I am of the Meshiha! ¹³ Is the Meshiha divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or in the name of Paulos were you baptized? ¹⁴ I thank Aloha that no man of you I have baptized, but only Krispos and Gaios; ¹⁵ lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized. ¹⁶ But I baptized also the house of Estepana; beyond (these) I know not that any other man I have baptized. ¹⁷ For the Meshiha sent me not to baptize, but to preach; not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Meshiha should be nullified. ¹⁸ FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will take away the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Or where is the disputer of this world? Hath not . Aloha made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe. ²² For the Jihudoyee demand signs, and the Aramoyee require wisdom; ²³ but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness; ²⁴ but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha. ²⁵ For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth; [Or, sons of a great family.] ²⁷ but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty, ²⁸ and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are; ²⁹ that no flesh may boast before him. ³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ according as it is written, He who boasteth, in the Lord let him boast.

²¹ She shall give birth to a son, and thou shalt call his name JESHU; for he shall save his people from their sins.

³⁸ THEN answered certain from the scribes and Pharishee, and said to him, Teacher, we would wish to see a sign from thee. ³⁹ But he answered them and said, A generation depraved and adulterous requireth a sign; but a sign shall not be given to it, but the sign of Jaunon the prophet;

¹ And there came Pharishee and Zadukoyee, tempting him, and demanding that he would show them a sign from heaven. ² But he answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, It will be serene weather, for the heaven hath reddened. ³ And in the early morning you say, To-day will be tempestuous, for the heaven hath reddened gloomily. Hypocrites! the aspect of the heaven you are skilful to discriminate, (but) the signs of this time you know not how to distinguish. ⁴ A depraved and adulterous race requireth a sign, but a sign shall not be given to it, save the sign of Jaunon the prophet; and he left them, and went away.

¹⁶ saying to him, Hearest thou what these say? Jeshu saith to them, Yes: have ye not read, that from the mouth of children and of babes thou hast prepared praise?

²¹ In that hour Jeshu exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said, I praise thee, my Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intellectual, and hast revealed them unto children. Yes, my Father, for so was thy will.[Or, so was the will before thee.]

¹⁶ while others, tempting him, the sign from heaven demanded of him.

²⁰ But if by the finger of Aloha I cast out devils, there hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁸ The woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and saith,

⁴⁶ So Jeshu came again into Kotna of Galila, where he had made the waters wine. And there was at Kapher-nachum the servant of a certain king, whose son was ill. ⁴⁷ This (man) heard that Jeshu had come from Jihuda into Galila; and he came to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was near to die. ⁴⁸ Jeshu saith to him, If signs and wonders you do not SEE, you will not believe. ⁴⁹ The servant of the king saith to him, My lord, come down ere my child die! ⁵⁰ Jeshu saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed in the word which Jeshu had spoken to him, and went. ⁵¹ But as he was going down, his servants met him, and gave him good news,[Sabaruhi.] saying to him, Thy son liveth. ⁵² And he asked at what time he was healed. They say to him, Yesterday, at seven hours, the fever left him. ⁵³ And his father knew that in that hour it was in which Jeshu said to him, Thy son liveth; and he believed, and all his house.

⁵³ And Jeshu said to them, Amen, amen, I tell you, That unless you eat the body [Phagreh.] of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He who eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, hath the life which is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my body is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the Father the Living (one) who hath sent me, and I live by the Father, even so he who shall eat me, shall live, too, by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which hath descended from heaven. Not as was the manna that your fathers ate, and are dead; he who eateth of this bread shall live for ever. ⁵⁹ These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Kapher-nachum. ⁶⁰ And many of his disciples who heard said, A hard word is this: who can hear it? ⁶¹ BUT Jeshu knew in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this; and he said to them, Does this stumble you? ⁶² If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first? ⁶³ It is the Spirit that maketh alive, the body profiteth nothing: the words which I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jeshu knew from the first who they were who believed not, and who it was who would betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said to them, On account of this I told you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him of my Father. ⁶⁶ On account of this word many of his disciples went back, and walked not with him.

¹⁸ He who from the will of his (own) mind speaketh, the glory of himself seeketh; but he who the glory of him who hath sent him seeketh, is true, and no iniquity is in him.

⁴³ And there was a division concerning him among the assemblies;

⁴⁷ The Pharishee say to them, Are you also deceived? ⁴⁸ Have any of the heads, or of the Pharishee, believed in him? ⁴⁹ But if this people who know not the law (believe in him), they are accursed.

¹² BUT again spake Jeshu with them, and said, I am the Light of the world: he who followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall find the light of life.

¹⁶ And some of the Pharishee said, This man is not from Aloha; for the shabath he keepeth not. But others said, How can a man, a sinner, perform these signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁹ And there was again a division among the Jihudoyee because of his words:

³⁰ I and my Father are One.

³⁴ A new commandment give I to you, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so do you also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if love be in you one for another.

⁶ Jeshu saith to him, I (am) the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto my Father unless by me.

¹⁴ And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.

¹⁶ and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete [Paraklito.] will he give you, who will be with you for ever,

²⁶ But he, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Holiness, whom the Father sendeth in my name, he shall teach you every thing, and he shall remind you of all that I have said to you.

¹ I am the true vine, [The vine of truth.] and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch which in me giveth not fruits he taketh away; and that which giveth fruits he cleanseth, that more fruits it may give. ³ Now are you clean because of the word which I have spoken with you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot give fruits of itself if it abide not in the vine, so also cannot you, if you abide not in me.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot give fruits of itself if it abide not in the vine, so also cannot you, if you abide not in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and you the branches. Whoso abideth in me, and I in him, this produceth much fruits, because without me you cannot do any thing.

⁵ I am the vine, and you the branches. Whoso abideth in me, and I in him, this produceth much fruits, because without me you cannot do any thing. ⁶ But if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, as a withered branch; and, gathering, they cast it into the fire to burn.

¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and placed you, that you also may go (and) yield much fruit; and your fruit shall remain, because all that you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give to you.

²⁶ But when the Paraclete cometh, He whom I will send unto you from my Father, the Spirit of Truth, He who from my Father cometh forth, He shall testify of me.

⁸ And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me.

¹⁷ Father, sanctify them through thy truth; for thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As me thou hast sent into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated for the truth.

²¹ that they all may be one, as thou, my Father, (art) in me, and I in thee, that they also in us one may be; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²¹ that they all may be one, as thou, my Father, (art) in me, and I in thee, that they also in us one may be; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. ²² And the glory which thou hast given me have I given unto them, that they may be one as we are one; ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.

²⁶ And I have made known unto them thy name, and I make it known that the love itself, wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I may be in them.

³⁸ After these Jauseph, he who was of Rometha, begged of Pilatos, for he was a disciple of Jeshu, but secretly for fear of the Jihudoyee, that he might take the body of Jeshu: and Pilatos permitted. And he came and took the body of Jeshu. ³⁹ And Nikodimos also came, he who at first had come to Jeshu by night, and he brought with him a condiment of myrrh and aloes, as a hundred lithreen.

²¹ Then said Jeshu unto them, Peace (be) with you: as my Father sent me, I also send you.

² until that day in which he was taken up, after that he had instructed [Or, commanded.] those apostles whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit:

²⁵ that he may receive the part in the ministry and the apostleship from which Jihuda separated, to go unto his place. ²⁶ And they cast the lots, and it came up unto Mathia; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in several tongues as the Spirit gave them to speak.

³⁸ Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴⁷ praising Aloha, (and) given (to be) in favour before all the people. And our Lord added daily them who were saved into the church.

¹¹ This is the stone which you builders rejected, and he is become the head of the corner. ¹² And in no other one [In no other man.] is redemption: for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind, by which we must be saved. ¹³ And when they heard the words of Shemun and of Juhanon, which they had confidently spoken, they perceived that they knew not literature and were common-men,[Hediutee.] and wondered at them; and they recognised them, that with Jeshu they had been conversant. ¹⁴ And they saw that the lame man who had been healed was standing with them, and they could not say any thing against them. ¹⁵ Then they commanded that they should lead them from their assembly, and said one to another, ¹⁶ What shall we do with these men? For, behold, a conspicuous sign which hath been done by their hands to all the inhabitants of Urishlem is known, and we cannot deny. ¹⁷ But that this report may not go forth more [widely], we will threaten them that again they shall not speak in This Name to any man.[To a man of men.] ¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them that not at all they should speak and teach in the name of Jeshu. ¹⁹ SHEMUN KIPHA and Juhanon answered and said to them, If it be right before Aloha that you we obey rather than Aloha, judge you. ²⁰ For what we have seen and heard we cannot but speak. ²¹ And they threatened them, and dismissed them; for they could not find cause to lay [a penalty] upon their head,* because of the people; for every one glorified Aloha for that which had been done. [* Compare Act 12:5, Syriac; and SCHAAF. Lex. in verb.]

³² BUT to the assembly of the men who believed there was one soul and one mind; and no man of them said of the goods which he possessed that they were his own, but all whatever they had was in common.

⁹ And men arose from the congregation which was called Libertinu, Kyrainoyee, and Aleksandroyee, and from Cilicia, and from Asia, and disputed with Estephanos, ¹⁰ and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.

³² I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and of Ishok and of Jakub. And Musha, trembling, dared not look upon the sight. ³³ And the Lord said to him, Loose thy sandals from thy feet: for the ground on which thou standest is holy. ³⁴ Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people who [are] in Mitsreen, and his groaning I have heard, and I have descended that I may deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Mitsreen. ³⁵ This Musha whom they denied, when they said, Who appointed thee over us a prince and a judge? this, sent Aloha unto them a prince and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him at the bush.

³⁵ This Musha whom they denied, when they said, Who appointed thee over us a prince and a judge? this, sent Aloha unto them a prince and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him at the bush.

⁵⁴ AND when they heard these they were filled with wrath in themselves, and they gnashed their teeth upon him.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Estephanos, (he) praying and saying, Our Lord Jeshu, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And kneeling down, he cried with a high voice, and said, Our Lord, let not this sin arise against them. And when this he had said, he slept.

¹⁶ for he was not upon one of them yet; but they were only baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu.

¹⁴ And behold, here also he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all those who invoke thy name.

²¹ And all they who heard him wondered, and they said, Is not this he who persecuted all those who call upon this name in Urishlem? And behold, also, hither upon the self-same (object) was he sent to bind and take them to the chief priests.

³⁶ For (this is) the word which he hath sent to the sons of Israel, and hath announced to them peace and repose through Jeshu Meshiha,-this is the Lord of all.

³⁹ And we are his witnesses of all which he did in the land of Jihud and of Urishlem. This (one) himself did the Jihudoyee hang upon the tree and kill; ⁴⁰ and him did Aloha raise up on the third day, and gave him to be seen openly; ⁴¹ yet not to all the people, but to us who by Aloha were chosen to be unto him the witnesses, who ate with him and drank after his resurrection from among the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach and to testify to the people that this is he who hath been separated by Aloha (to be) the Judge of the living and of the dead. ⁴³ And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name shall receive remission of sins.

⁴⁸ Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. And they prayed of him to remain with them (certain) days.

¹⁷ If then Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?

²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and were converted unto the Lord.

²³ And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our Lord.

⁷ This adhered to a wise man who was proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called Shaol and Bar Naba and requested to hear from them the word of Aloha.

¹² But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord.

⁴¹ Behold, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days which you will not believe if one should declare it to you.

⁹ And nothing distinguished between us and them, because he had purified by faith their hearts.

¹⁵ And she was baptized, she and the sons of her house. And she besought us and said, If it be that you truly think that I have believed in our Lord, come, remain in my house; and she constrained us much.

³³ And in the same hour of that night, he took and washed them from their stripes, and was forthwith baptized, and all the sons of his house.

¹⁸ and the philosophers also who were of the doctrine of Epikuros, and others who were called Estoiku, disputed with him. And some of them said, What willeth this accumulator of words? And others said, He preaches foreign gods; because Jeshu and his resurrection he preached unto them.

¹⁸ and the philosophers also who were of the doctrine of Epikuros, and others who were called Estoiku, disputed with him. And some of them said, What willeth this accumulator of words? And others said, He preaches foreign gods; because Jeshu and his resurrection he preached unto them. ¹⁹ And they took him and brought him to the house of judgment which is called Arios-pagos, saying to him, Can we know what this new doctrine is which thou art preaching? ²⁰ for thou sowest foreign words in our hearing, and we desire to know what these things are. ²¹ But all the Athinoyee, and those foreigners who are there, of no other thing are careful, but to say and to hear something new.

³² And when they heard of resurrection from among the dead, (some) of them mocked, and (some) of them said, At another time we will hear thee concerning this.

³⁴ And certain of them adhered to him and believed: but one of them was Dionosios of the judges of Arios-pagos, and a certain woman whose name was Damaris, and others with them.

¹ AND when Paulos had gone forth from Athinos, he came unto Kurinthos.

⁵ And when from Makedunia Shilo and Timotheos had come, Paulos was constrained in his speech, because the Jihudoyee arose against him and blasphemed, while he testified to them that Jeshu is the Meshiha.

⁸ And Krispos, master of the synagogue, believed in our Lord, he and all the sons of his house. And many of the Kurinthoyee heard and believed in Aloha, and were baptized.

⁸ And Krispos, master of the synagogue, believed in our Lord, he and all the sons of his house. And many of the Kurinthoyee heard and believed in Aloha, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said in a vision unto Paulos, Fear not, but speak and be not silent; ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man can do thee harm; and I have much people in this city. ¹¹ But he abode a year and six months in Kurinthos, and taught them the word of Aloha.

¹⁷ And all the Heathens seized Sosthenis the presbyter of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Galion was careless of these.

²⁴ And a certain man whose name was Apolu, a Jihudoya, who was by family of Aleksandria, and erudite in speech, and accurate in the scriptures, came to Ephesos.

⁵ And when they heard these (words), they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

²¹ while I testified to Jihudoyee and to Aramoyee concerning repentance that is toward Aloha, and faith which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

²⁴ But by me my life is reckoned nothing, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry I have received from our Lord Jeshu, to bear witness concerning the gospel of the grace of Aloha.

²⁰ And when they heard, they glorified Aloha. And they said to him, Thou seest, our brother, how many myriads there are in Jihud who believe, and all of them are zealous for the law.

¹⁶ And now why delayest thou? Arise, baptize, and be washed from thy sins, while thou callest his Name.

¹⁸ And I saw him in a vision, when he said[Or, saying.] to me, Hasten, and remove thee from Urishlem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I send thee far away to preach to the Gentiles.

¹¹ And when it was night our Lord appeared unto Paulos, and said to him, Be strong: for as thou hast testified of me in Urishlem, so is it to be that thou also in Ruma shalt testify.

²⁴ And after a few days Felix, and Drusilla his wife, who was a Jihudoytha, sent and called Paulos, and they heard from him concerning the faith of the Meshiha. ²⁵ And as he discoursed with them of righteousness, and of holiness, and of the judgment which is to come, Felix was filled with fear, and he said, Now go, and when I have opportunity [Or, place.] I will send for thee.

¹⁷ And I will deliver thee from the people of the Jihudoyee, and from the other nations to whom I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto Aloha, and receive the forgiveness of sins, and a lot with the saints through faith, which (is) in me.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto Aloha, and receive the forgiveness of sins, and a lot with the saints through faith, which (is) in me.

²³ AND they appointed him a day; and many assembled and came where he sojourned; and he explained to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha, testifying and persuading them concerning Jeshu, from the law of Musha and from the prophets, from the morning until the evening.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha,

⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord: ⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:

⁷ To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁸ First, I praise my God through Jeshu Meshiha on behalf of you all, that your faith is heard (of) in all the world.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee: ¹⁷ for the righteousness of Aloha in it is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the righteous by faith shall live.

²⁰ For the occult things [Kasyotheh d'Aloha.] of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse. ²¹ For when they knew Aloha, they did not as Aloha glorify him and praise him, but became vain in their imaginations, and their heart was darkened, that they understood not. ²² And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.[Or, befooled.]

²² And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.[Or, befooled.]

²⁸ And as they did not decide in themselves to know Aloha, so did Aloha cause them to be delivered up to a mind of vainness, and to do what is not fit;

¹⁹ BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha.

²¹ But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets (themselves) testify of it. ²² But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith [Lit. "By the hand of faith."] of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction:

²² But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith [Lit. "By the hand of faith."] of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction: ²³ for all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha; ²⁴ and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha,

²⁷ Where, then, is boasting? It is abolished. By what law? of works? No, but by the law of faith.

² For if Abraham by works was justified, he had cause for boasting; but not with Aloha.

⁶ As also David hath spoken concerning the blessedness of the man to whom Aloha reckoneth righteousness without works,

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have ordained thee the father of many nations before Aloha, in whom thou hast believed, who maketh alive the dead, and calleth those who are not as though they were:)

²⁵ who was delivered for our sins, and rose that he might justify us.

¹⁹ For as on account of the disobedience of one man many became sinners, so also on account of the obedience of one many became righteous.

²¹ that as sin hath reigned in death, so grace might reign in righteousness unto the life which is eternal, by the hand of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁷ But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered.

¹ Hence, there is no condemnation to them who do not walk according to the flesh, in Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if truly the Spirit of Aloha dwelleth in you. But if a man have not the Spirit of the Meshiha, this (man) is not his.

¹⁹ For the whole creation hopeth and waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of Aloha.

²³ and not only they, but we also who have in us the first-fruit of the Spirit, groan within ourselves, and wait for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

²⁸ BUT we know that those who love Aloha, in every thing he helpeth them for good; them whom he set before that they might be called.

²⁸ BUT we know that those who love Aloha, in every thing he helpeth them for good; them whom he set before that they might be called. ²⁹ And from the first he knew them, and signified* them in the likeness of the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born of many brethren. [* Var'sham enum, Signed, designated, notified them.] ³⁰ But whom he before signified, them he called; and whom he called, them he justified; and whom he justified, them he glorified.

³⁰ But whom he before signified, them he called; and whom he called, them he justified; and whom he justified, them he glorified.

²⁴ who are we, (ourselves) the called, not only of the Jihudoyee, but also of the Gentiles:

³² For why? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ³³ as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of ffence; and whosoever in him shall believe shall not be ashamed.

¹² And in this he hath not distinguished nor the Jihudoya nor the Aramoya; for one is the Lord of them all, who is rich toward every one who calleth on him.

¹² And if their stumbling were wealth to the world, and their condemnation wealth to the Gentiles, how much then will their fulness be?

¹⁷ And if the branches were cut off, and thou who art a wild olive art engrafted in their place, and hast a participation of the root and fatness of the olive,

³³ O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of Aloha, whose judgments man searcheth not, and whose ways are inscrutable!

³³ O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of Aloha, whose judgments man searcheth not, and whose ways are inscrutable! ³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor? ³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, that so he should receive from him? ³⁶ For all is of him, and all in him, and all by him. To him be praises and benedictions unto the age of ages. Amen.

³⁶ For all is of him, and all in him, and all by him. To him be praises and benedictions unto the age of ages. Amen.

¹ I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present [Or, make to stand, constitute.] your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational* service. [* Meliltho. Compare the use of the corresponding Chaldee word in the Targum of Onkelos on Gen 2:7, where the divine afflatus is described as creating in man ruch memalla, "a speaking or rational spirit."]

⁵ so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another.

¹⁶ And what you think of yourselves, (that) also think of your brethren; nor think with a high mind, but incline to them who are humble; and be not wise in the conceit of your own mind.

⁴ Who art thou that judgest a servant who is not thine? who, if he stand, unto his Lord he standeth, and if he fall, falleth unto his Lord. But standing, he standeth; for there is power in the hands of his Lord to make him stand.

⁸ For if we live, to our Lord we live; and if we die, to our Lord we die: and if we live, then, or if we die, our Lord's are we. ⁹ Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living.

⁹ Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living.

⁴ For every thing that hath before been written for our instruction was written, that by the patience and consolation of the scriptures we might have hope. ⁵ But the God of patience and of consolation give to you that with impartiality [Equality.] you may think one of another in Jeshu Meshiha, ⁶ that with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁴ BUT I am persuaded also concerning you, my brethren, that you are also full of good, and filled with all knowledge, and able also to instruct others.

¹⁷ I have, then, exultation in Jeshu Meshiha with Aloha.

¹⁹ with the power of signs and miracles, and with the power of the Spirit of Aloha; as that I have itinerated from Urishlem unto Illyrikum, to fulfil the preaching of Meshiha;

³⁰ Now I entreat of you, my brethren, by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the love of the Spirit, to labour with me in prayer on my behalf, with Aloha,

⁷ Ask for the peace of Andronikos and Junia, my kindred, who were captives with me, and are known among the apostles, and in Meshiha were before me.

¹¹ Ask the peace of Herodion, my relative. Ask for the peace of the sons of the house of Narkisos, who are in our Lord.

¹⁷ But I beseech of you, my brethren, beware of them who make divisions and scandals apart from the doctrine which you have learned; and be distant from them.

²³ Gaios my entertainer, and of all the church, asketh for your peace; (as do) Erastos steward of the city, and Quartos a brother.

²⁵ but is revealed in this time by means of the scriptures of the prophets, and by the commandment of the Everlasting Aloha is made known to all the nations for the obedience of faith;

² to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁴ I give thanks to Aloha at all times on your behalf for the grace of Aloha which is given to you through Jeshu Meshiha,

⁹ Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.

¹⁵ lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized.

¹⁸ FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will take away the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Or where is the disputer of this world? Hath not . Aloha made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe.

²³ but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness; ²⁴ but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha.

²⁴ but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha. ²⁵ For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men.

²⁷ but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty, ²⁸ and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are;

²⁸ and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are; ²⁹ that no flesh may boast before him. ³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; ³¹ according as it is written, He who boasteth, in the Lord let him boast.

¹ And I, my brethren, when I came to you, not with grandeur of speech, nor with wisdom, did I evangelize to you the mystery of Aloha.

¹ And I, my brethren, when I came to you, not with grandeur of speech, nor with wisdom, did I evangelize to you the mystery of Aloha. ² And I considered myself among you as not knowing any thing unless Jeshu Meshiha, and him also as crucified.

² And I considered myself among you as not knowing any thing unless Jeshu Meshiha, and him also as crucified. ³ And I in much fear and trembling was with you. ⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasion of the words of wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasion of the words of wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power; ⁵ that your faith might not be through the wisdom of men, but through the power of Aloha.

⁵ that your faith might not be through the wisdom of men, but through the power of Aloha. ⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this world, nor the authorities of this world, which are abolished;

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this world, nor the authorities of this world, which are abolished;

⁸ which not one of the authorities of this world hath known; for if they had known it, the Lord of glory they would not have crucified.

¹³ which also we speak, not with the learning of words of wisdom of men, but with the learning of the Spirit; and with spirituals the spirituals we compare. ¹⁴ For the man who is animal receiveth not spirituals, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, because they by the Spirit are judged of;

³ For as yet you are in the flesh. For while there are among you envy and contentions and divisions, are you not carnal, and walking in the flesh? ⁴ For while some of you say, I am of Paulos, and another, I am of Apollo, are you not carnal? ⁵ For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him? ⁶ I have planted, and Apollo watered, but Aloha made to increase.

⁹ For with Aloha we work; and the work of Aloha and the edifice of Aloha are you.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you supposeth himself wise in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is folly with Aloha; for it is written, He hath taken the wise in their own craftiness.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is folly with Aloha; for it is written, He hath taken the wise in their own craftiness. ²⁰ And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. ²¹ On this account let no one boast in men: for every thing is yours; ²² whether Paulos, or Apolo, or Kipha, or the world, or life, or death, or things standing, or things to be; every thing is yours, ²³ and you are of the Meshiha, and the Meshiha of Aloha.

⁵ Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha. ⁶ BUT these things, my brethren, for your sakes I have applied to the person of myself and of Apolo, that through us you may learn not to think of us beyond what is written; and that one above his neighbour may not be exalted on account of any thing. ⁷ For who distinguisheth thee? Or, what hast thou which thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received?

⁷ For who distinguisheth thee? Or, what hast thou which thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received? ⁸ Now you are satiated, and are rich, and without us have reigned. But I would that you did reign, that we might also reign with you! ⁹ But I consider that us, the apostles, Aloha hath set last, as unto death, to be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men, ¹⁰ We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased.

¹⁶ I entreat then of you that you be like me.

⁵ and you deliver this (man) to Satana for the destruction of his body, that in spirit he may be saved in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁶ MY brethren, your boasting is not seemly. Know you not that a little leaven the whole mass leaveneth?

¹ DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, and not before the saints? ² Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world by you is judged, are you not worthy to judge small matters?[Or, judgments.] ³ Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world? ⁴ But if you have matters to be judged regarding the world, those who are little-esteemed [Or, contemptible.] in the church make you to sit in judgment. ⁵ But to your reproach am I to say to you, So there is not among you even one wise man, who is able to adjust between a brother and his brother? ⁶ But a brother with his brother litigates, and, moreover, before those who are unbelievers! ⁷ Now, therefore, you make yourselves guilty while you have litigation one with another. For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud?

⁹ Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor the servers of idols, nor adulterers, nor corrupters, nor liers with men, ¹⁰ nor the oppressive, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, the kingdom of Aloha can inherit. ¹¹ And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁶ Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body. ¹⁷ But, he who attacheth to our Lord is with him one spirit.

¹⁹ Or, know you not that your body is the temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who dwelleth in you, (even) Him whom you have received from Aloha? And you are not your own, ²⁰ for you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.

²⁹ And this I say, my brethren, that the time now becomes contracted; and they who have wives should be as not having them;

⁶ but to us our One is Aloha the Father, of whom are all, and we in him; and one Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by whom are all, and we by him.

¹¹ and he will perish through thy knowledge? he who is weak, and on account of whom the Meshiha died.

¹ Am I not a son of freedom? am I not an apostle? or have I not seen Jeshu Meshiha our Lord? or are not you my work in my Lord? ² And if to others I be not an apostle, yet am I (such) to you; and the seal of my apostleship are you.

⁵ or have we not authority a sister, a wife, to lead about with us, as the rest of the apostles, and as the brethren of our Lord, and as Kipha?

² and all by [By the hand of.] Musha were baptized in the cloud and in the sea,

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

¹⁶ The cup of thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Meshiha? And the bread that we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Meshiha?

¹⁸ For, first, when you are assembled in the church, there are divisions, (as) I hear, among you, and in some measure I believe.

⁸ To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, but to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

¹⁰ but to another, powers; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; but to another, kinds of tongues; and to another, the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁸ But now hath Aloha set all the members severally in the body as he willed.

²⁵ that there should be no divisions in the body, but all the members equally one of the other should have care:

²⁷ But you are the body of the Meshiha, and members in your place.

² And though there were in me prophecy, and I knew all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though there were in me all faith, as that I could remove the mountain,[Mountains. - WALTON'S edit.] and love were not in me, I should be nothing.

⁸ Love never falleth;[Lo nophel.] for prophecies shall be abolished, and tongues be silent, and knowledge be abolished:

⁵ But I would that all of you could speak with tongues, but especially that you could prophesy. For greater is he who prophesieth than he who speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret. But if he interpret, he edifieth the church. ⁶ And now, my brethren, if I come to you and speak with you in tongues, what do I profit you, unless I speak with you, or by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?

¹⁸ I praise Aloha that more than all of you I speak with tongues;

²⁶ I say then, my brethren, that when you are assembled, if any one of you hath a psalm, let him speak; and (so too) he who hath doctrine, and he who hath a revelation, and he who hath a tongue, and he who hath the interpretation: let all be done unto edification.

² and by which you are saved; of which, the word I have preached to you, you are mindful, unless you have vainly believed.

⁵ And he was seen of Kipha, and after him, of the twelve,

⁹ I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of Aloha:

⁵⁰ But this I say, my brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵⁴ But when this which is corruptible shall put on incorruptibleness, and this which dieth, immortality, then shall be done that word which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory! ⁵⁵ Where is thy sting, Death? and where is thy victory Shiul? ⁵⁶ But the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to Aloha, who giveth us the victory by the hand of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹² But of Apolo, my brethren, I begged much to come to you with the brethren; nevertheless it was not his will to come to you; but when there shall be opportunity he will come to you.

¹⁵ But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of the saints,

¹⁷ But I am glad of the coming of Stephano, and of Fortunatos, and of Akaiakos, because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.

¹ PAULOS, apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the will of Aloha; and Timotheos a brother: to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, and to all the saints who are in all Akaia. ² Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁴ even as you have in part acknowledged that we are your glorying, as you also are ours in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁸ Faithful is Aloha that our word with you was not Yes and No.

²¹ But Aloha himself confirmeth us with you in the Meshiha, who himself hath anointed us,

¹⁴ But thanks unto Aloha, who in all time maketh us a triumph in the Meshiha, and maketh manifest by us the perfume of his knowledge in every place. ¹⁵ For we are a fragrant perfume in the Meshiha unto Aloha in those who are saved, and in those who perish. ¹⁶ To these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal?

² But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha. ³ But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid:

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu. ⁶ For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha. ⁷ BUT we have this treasure in a vase of earth, that the greatness of the power might be from Aloha, and not from us.

¹⁴ For the love of the Meshiha constraineth us, because we judge this, That if one for every man hath died, then (was) every man dead. ¹⁵ And for every man he died, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who on their behalf died and arose.

¹⁷ Whoever therefore is in the Meshiha is a new creature; the old things have passed, ¹⁸ and every thing hath become new from Aloha, who hath reconciled us to himself in the Meshiha, and given to us the ministry of reconciliation. ¹⁹ For Aloha is in the Meshiha, who hath reconciled the world with his greatness; and he hath not reckoned unto them their sins, and hath put in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ WE are ambassadors then for the Meshiha, and as if Aloha himself besought you by us: instead of the Meshiha, [Chaloph Meshiha.] therefore, we beseech, Be you reconciled unto Aloha.

²⁰ WE are ambassadors then for the Meshiha, and as if Aloha himself besought you by us: instead of the Meshiha, [Chaloph Meshiha.] therefore, we beseech, Be you reconciled unto Aloha. ²¹ For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.

¹ And as helpers, we beseech of you that the grace of Aloha which you have received be not made ineffectual [Lo testaraq.] in you.

⁷ But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel.

⁶ But this [remember], He who soweth with scantiness, with scantiness also reapeth; and he who soweth with blessing, with blessing also shall reap.

¹¹ that in every thing you may be enriched in all simplicity, which worketh out through us, thanksgiving to Aloha.

¹ BUT I Paulos beseech of you by the peacefulness and humility of the Meshiha, (I) who also in presence am humble with you, but while far off am confident over you,

³ For if we walk in the flesh, yet we war not according to the flesh. ⁴ For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels,

⁴ For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels,

⁴ For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels, ⁵ and demolish reasonings and every lofty thing that is exalted against the knowledge of Aloha, and captivate all thoughts unto the obedience of the Meshiha.

¹⁰ For there are men who say, His epistles are weighty and forcible; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

¹⁷ But let him who glorieth glory in the Lord.

² for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha.

⁴ For if he who hath come to you shall preach to you another Jeshu, whom we have not preached, or you receive another Spirit which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted, you would have been well persuaded. ⁵ For I consider that I am nothing inferior to those apostles who are most excellent. ⁶ For if I am rude in my speech, I yet am not in my knowledge; but in every thing we are manifest among you.

² I knew [Yodano, " knowing."] a man in the Meshiha fourteen years ago,[Men kedom, "from before fourteen years."] - whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, Aloha himself knoweth, - who, this one himself, was rapt unto the third [region] of heaven.[The third of heaven.]

¹¹ Behold, I have been deficient in mind in my boasting, because you have constrained me; for you were debtors to bear witness concerning me; because in nothing am I less than those apostles who are the most eminent, nevertheless I am not any thing. ¹² The signs of the apostles I have wrought among you in all patience, and with mighty acts and miracles and with powers. ¹³ For in what have you been less than the other churches, except in this, that I have not burdened you? Forgive me this offence.

²⁰ For I fear lest, when I come to you, I should not find you as I wish, but should find you what you would not wish: lest there be contention and envy, and wrath and angry talk, and accusations and murmurings, and pompousness and agitation:

⁴ - for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth with the power of Aloha: - so also we are weak with you, but we live with him through the power of Aloha which is among you.

¹¹ Wherefore, my brethren, rejoice, and be perfect, and be comforted, and let agreement and peace be among you; and the God of love and of peace shall be with you.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead, ² and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches which are in Galatia:

⁴ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil world, according to the will of Aloha our Father:

⁷ which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha.

¹⁵ But, when He willed who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

¹⁵ But, when He willed who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I should preach among the nations, immediately I did not disclose to flesh and to blood;

⁷ but otherwise: for seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Kipha was intrusted with [that of] the circumcision; ⁸ for he who wrought effectually with Kipha for the apostleship of the circumcision wrought effectually also with me for the apostleship of the Gentiles; and knowing the grace which had been given to me, ⁹ Jakub and Kipha and Juchanon, who were considered to be pillars, the right hand of fellowship gave to me and to Bar Naba, that we (should preach) among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision:

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

¹ O deficient-minded [Chasiri-reyonee.] Galatoyee, who bewildereth you? For, behold, as if depicted before your eyes, hath Jeshu the Meshiha been crucified.

⁵ Then, he who imparted to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, (did he so) through the works of the law, or through the hearing of faith?

¹³ But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood:

¹⁷ But I say this, that the covenant which was confirmed before by Aloha, in the Meshiha, the law which was after, four hundred and thirty years, cannot nullify, nor (can it) abolish the promise.

¹² Be you as I am, for I am as you are, my brethren, I beseech you. In nothing have you injured me.

¹¹ But I, my brethren, if yet I have preached for circumcision,[Ba-gezurtho.] why have I been persecuted? Hath the scandal of the cross ceased?

¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest one by another you be consumed.

²⁰ the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings,

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience; ²³ against these the law is not set. ²⁴ But they who are of the Meshiha have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its lusts:

²⁶ and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.

¹² They who would glory in the flesh would constrain you to be circumcised; only lest for the cross of the Meshiha they might be persecuted. ¹³ For neither do these who are circumcised keep the law; but they will that you be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory. ¹⁴ But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.

¹⁴ But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, to those who are in Ephesos, saints and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: ² peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ Blessed be He, Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, in the Meshiha; ⁴ as he before elected us in him, from before the foundations of the world, that we should be saints, and without blemish before him, and in love predesignated us unto himself,

⁷ in whom we have redemption, and by his blood the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace

¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fulness of the times, every thing from the first might be renovated in the Meshiha, in heaven and in earth.

¹⁴ who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of those who are saved, and unto the praise of his majesty.

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of glory, would give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in his knowledge,

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of glory, would give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in his knowledge, ¹⁸ and would enlighten the eyes of your hearts to know what is the hope of his calling,

⁷ that he might show to the ages to come the greatness of the riches of his grace and his goodness, which hath been upon us in Jeshu the Meshiha.

⁹ not of works, that no man should glory. ¹⁰ For we are his creation, who are created in Jeshu Meshiha unto good works, which Aloha hath prepared before, that in them we should walk.

²⁰ and you are builded upon the foundation of the apostles and of the prophets, and Jeshu the Meshiha himself is the chief corner of the building; ²¹ and in him is the whole building increased and enlargeth into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² while you also in him are being builded the dwelling of Aloha by the Spirit.

⁶ that the Gentiles should be sons of his inheritance and partakers of his body, and in the promise which is given concerning him by the gospel,

⁸ To me, who am the least of all the saints, is given this grace, that I should preach among the Gentiles the riches of the Meshiha, which are not searched; ⁹ and to bring to light unto all men what is the dispensation of the mystery which was hidden from the ages in Aloha, who created all: ¹⁰ that through the church might be made known the wisdom of Aloha, which is full of diversities, to the principalities and powers who are in heaven,

¹⁰ that through the church might be made known the wisdom of Aloha, which is full of diversities, to the principalities and powers who are in heaven,

¹ I BESEECH of you, therefore, I, the bound one for our Lord, that you walk as is worthy of the calling wherewith you are called, ² in all lowliness of mind, and composedness, and long-suffering; and be patient towards one another in love. ³ And be diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, ⁴ that you may be in one body and in one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling. ⁵ For one is the Lord, and one the faith, and one the baptism;

⁵ For one is the Lord, and one the faith, and one the baptism; ⁶ and one is Aloha, the Father of all, and over all, and by all, and in us all. ⁷ But unto each of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Meshiha.

¹¹ And he gave some who (are) apostles, and some who (are) prophets, and some who (are) evangelists, and some who (are) pastors, and some who (are) doctors;

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been sealed unto the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken from you, with all malice; ³² and be gentle one with another, and affectionate, and forgive one another, even as Aloha in the Meshiha hath forgiven us.

²⁰ And give thanks always on behalf of every man in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto Aloha the Father.

²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word, ²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless.

¹⁹ and for me also, that the word may be given me with openness of my mouth, that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

⁶ because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun good workings in you will himself make perfect until the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may still increase and abound in knowledge and in all spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha,

²⁷ As it becometh the gospel of the Meshiha, so have your conversation; that if coming I see you, or absent, I may hear of you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, conquering together for the faith of the gospel;

¹ IF, therefore, you have consolation in the Meshiha, and if there be comfort in love,* and if communion of the Spirit, and if compassions and mercies, [* Ven mamale belebo bachubo, " If there be the speaking of the heart in love." Mamale belebo, (like the Hebrew, Dibber al leb,) " the speaking of, or into, the heart," is an idiom for giving consolation. Compare John 11:19, 31.] ² complete my gladness by having one sentiment and one love, and one soul and one mind. ³ And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself. ⁴ And let no one care for himself (only), but every one for his neighbour also.

⁹ Wherefore also Aloha greatly exalted him, and gave him a name that is more excellent than all names, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jeshu every knee should kneel, of those in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jeshu the Meshiha is the Lord, to the glory of Aloha his Father.

¹⁴ Do every thing without murmuring and without division; ¹⁵ that you may be perfect and without spot, as the pure children of Aloha, who dwell in a generation depraved and perverse; and be manifest among them as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ to be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose.

³ For the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh.

⁹ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha:

¹⁶ Nevertheless, that to this we may attain, in one way let us proceed, and with one consent.

²⁰ But our employment* is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,[* Pulchonan. Pulchono is " occupation," whether sacred, cultus, or civil, operatio.]

²² All the saints ask for your peace, especially those who are of the house of Caesar.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu the Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and the brother Timotheos,

⁹ ON account of this also we, from the day that we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to supplicate that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Aloha in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding, ¹⁰ and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha;

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins:

²² hath he reconciled now in the body of his flesh and through his death, to constitute you saints before him without spot and without blame;

²⁴ I rejoice in the sufferings which are on your account, and fulfil the void of the afflictions of the Meshiha in my flesh for the sake of his body, which is the church;

² that their hearts may be comforted, and that they may approach in love to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of Aloha the Father and of the Meshiha, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

⁴ and when the Meshiha, who is our life, shall be manifested, then also will you be manifested with him in glory.

¹⁰ and wear the new, who is renovated by knowledge in the image of his Creator,

¹⁵ And let the peace of the Meshiha direct your hearts, for to it you have been called in one body; and give thanks to the Meshiha, ¹⁶ whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha. ¹⁷ And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

³ praying also for us, that Aloha may open to us the gate of the word, to speak the mystery of the Meshiha, for the sake of which I am bound, ⁴ that I may fully make it manifest, as it behoveth me.

¹ PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee which (is) in Aloha the Father, and in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Grace be with you and peace.

⁵ because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

¹⁰ awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.

¹² and (now) we testify to you how you should walk worthy of Aloha himself who hath called you to his kingdom and to his glory.

¹³ and will establish your hearts without blame in holiness, before Aloha our Father, at the advent of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha with all his saints.

¹ HENCE then, my brethren, we pray of you, and beseech of you by our Lord Jeshu, that as you have received of us how it behoveth you to walk and to please Aloha, the more to increase. ² For you know those precepts we gave to you in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁷ For Aloha hath not called us to uncleanness, but unto sanctification.

¹³ that they be esteemed by you in abundant love; and on account of their work be at peace with them.

¹⁸ and in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of Aloha in Jeshu Meshiha concerning you.

²³ But the God of peace himself will sanctify perfectly all of you; and your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body will he keep without fault, to the coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ²⁴ Faithful is he who hath called you, who himself will do it!

¹ PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee, which is in Aloha our Father, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁷ And you who are afflicted will he save [Or, make alive.] with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from heaven, with the host [Or, force; chailo, " powerful array."] of his angels,

¹⁰ when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to show his wonders in his faithful ones, that our testimony that was concerning you may be believed in that day.

¹ But we beseech of you, my brethren, as it regards the coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and our assemblage with him,

¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception which is done in them who perish, because they have not received the love of the truth by which they might have been saved.

¹⁴ For unto these Aloha called you by our preaching, that you should be the glory of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁶ But our Lord Jeshu Meshiha himself, and Aloha our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation,[Or, the consolation of eternity.] and a good hope through grace, ¹⁷ will comfort your hearts, and establish in every word and in every work of good.

³ But the Lord is faithful, who will keep you and deliver you from evil.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha our hope;

¹² And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister;

¹⁴ But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony which cometh in its time, ⁷ of which I am constituted an herald and an apostle, I say the truth and lie not, to be a teacher of the nations in the faith of the truth.

¹⁵ but if I should delay, that thou mayest know how to converse in the house of Aloha, which is the church of Aloha the Living, the column and foundation of the truth.

²¹ I attest thee before Aloha and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha and his elect angels, that thou keep these, (precepts,) and let not thy mind be pre-occupied by any thing, and do nothing with acceptance of persons.

⁴ this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,[Masom b'reyono bisho.]

¹⁴ that thou keep (this) commandment without spot and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ¹⁵ whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and on account of the promise of life which is in Jeshu Meshiha,

⁸ Wherefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but sustain evil with the gospel, through the power of Aloha, ⁹ who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his will, and that grace of his which was given to us in Jeshu Meshiha before the time of the worlds,

²² From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue [Or, run after.] after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart. ²³ From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.[Fightings.] ²⁴ But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive,[Fight.] but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering, ²⁵ that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth,

¹⁵ and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁶ FOR all scripture which from the Spirit is written, is profitable for doctrine, and for rebuke, and for correction, and for instruction [Or, discipline.] which is in righteousness: ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.

¹ I attest thee before Aloha, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who is to judge the living and the dead at the revelation of his kingdom:

⁸ And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

² unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages,

¹³ while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people,[Amo chadtho.] who are zealous of good works.

⁴ I give thanks to Aloha at all time, and remember thee in my prayers.

⁹ but for love's sake entreating I entreat of thee, I, Paulos, who am the aged as thou knowest, but now also the bondman of Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁰ And I entreat of thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimos,

³ how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed, ⁴ when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [Distributions, or dividings.] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.

¹¹ For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren.

¹⁷ Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [things pertaining] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people.

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who have been called with the calling that [is] from heaven, contemplate this Apostle and High Priest of our confession, JESHU MESHIHA!

¹⁴ FOR we are made participators with [Or, are conjoined with.] the Meshiha, if, from the beginning and unto the end, in this very standing we steadfastly persist.

¹² For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword,[The sword of two mouths.] and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.

¹⁸ that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,

¹² Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption.

²⁸ so also the Meshiha was once offered, and in his (own) person sacrificed (for) the sins of many; but the second time [Or, two times: tarteen zabneen.] without sins he appeareth for the salvation of them who expect him.

¹⁰ For by this his will we are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jeshu Meshiha, which was once.

²³ and let us persevere in the confession of our hope, and not swerve; for faithful is He who hath promised us.

³⁶ But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise. ³⁷ Because (yet) a little time, and a very little, and He who cometh shall come, and not be slow.

¹¹ By faith Saro, who was barren, received strength to conceive seed, and, which (thing) was not in the time of her years, gave birth (to a son); because she was sure that he who had promised to her was faithful.

¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.

⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.

⁹ But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth. ¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who love him?

¹³ Who of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom.

¹³ Who of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom.

¹³ Who of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy among yourselves, or contention be in your hearts, be not inflated against the truth, nor lie;

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy among yourselves, or contention be in your hearts, be not inflated against the truth, nor lie; ¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons.

¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons. ¹⁶ For where there are envy and contention, there also are tumult and every thing that is evil.

¹⁶ For where there are envy and contention, there also are tumult and every thing that is evil. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not. ¹⁸ But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.

¹ From whence are there among you wars and strifes? Is it not from the lusts which war in your members? ² You desire, and have not; you kill and are emulous, yet it cometh not into your hands; you strive and make wars, and nothing have because you do not ask;

⁷ BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter; ⁸ so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.

² them who are elected by the foreknowledge of Aloha the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be unto obedience, and unto the sprinkling of the blood of Jeshu Meshiha: grace and peace be multiplied with you.

¹³ Wherefore gird up the loins of your minds, and be fully wakeful, and hope for the joy that cometh to you at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha;

¹⁵ But be holy in all your conversations, as he is holy who calleth you; ¹⁶ because it is written, Be ye holy, as I also am holy.

¹⁸ while you know that not with silver which wasteth away, nor with gold, you have been redeemed from your vain works which you received from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;

⁸ he is a rock [Kipha.] of offence, or a stone [Abn'na.] of stumbling, and they are offended at him in not obeying the word, because to this they are set.

¹¹ MY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and as sojourners, be separate from all the lusts of the body which make wars against the soul.

⁸ But, finally be all unanimous, and suffer with those who suffer, and love one another, and be merciful and gentle; ⁹ and let no man render evil for evil, nor invective for invective, but, that which is contrary to them, bless: for unto this are you called, that the blessing you may inherit.

¹³ but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult.

⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not.

¹⁰ But the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jeshu Meshiha, will give to us while we endure these few afflictions to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established in him for ever.

¹ SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness [Or, honour.] with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁶ For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord cometh as a thief: that (day) in which the heavens suddenly [Mensheli.] shall pass away, but the elements burning be dissolved, and the earth and the works that are in it be found not.

¹² and in the fear of Aloha; expecting and desiring the coming of the day of Aloha; that (day) in which the heavens, tried with fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning shall melt?

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, while these you expect, be diligent, that, without blemish and without spot, of Him you may be found in peace.

¹⁸ But increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, and (of) Aloha the Father, Whose be glory both now, and in all time, and to the days eternal. Amen.

³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha.

⁷ but if in the light we walk, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jeshu his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.

² MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is.

¹³ And by this we know that in him we abide, and he abideth in us, because of his Spirit he hath given us.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jeshu the Meshiha: it was not by water only, but by water and blood;

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one who apprehendeth [Cul d'achid labro.] the Son, apprehendeth also life; and every one who apprehendeth not the Son of Aloha, hath not life. ¹³ These I have written to you, that you may know that you have the life which is eternal, who believe in the name of the Son of Aloha.

¹ THE presbyter to the elect Kuria and to her sons, whom I love in truth, nor I only, but all they who know the truth,

¹ THE presbyter unto Gaios my beloved, whom I love in truth. ² Our beloved, in all things I pray for thee, that thou mayest prosper and be healthful, even as thy soul prospereth. ³ For I have rejoiced greatly when the brethren have come, and have testified concerning thy integrity, even as in the truth thou walkest. ⁴ And greater joy than this I have not (than) when I hear that my sons walk in the truth.

¹ JIHUDA, servant of Jeshu Meshiha, but brother of Jakub, to the called people, who are beloved of Aloha the Father, (and) in Jeshu Meshiha preserved:

²¹ ourselves in the love of Aloha to keep, while looking for the mercy of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto our eternal salvation.

²⁴ But to him who is able to keep you without falling and without spot, and to establish you without blemish, ²⁵ Aloha our only Saviour by Jeshu Meshiha our Lord, before his majesty with joy, Be glory, and dominion, and honour, and grandeur, both now and in all ages. Amen.

² who attested the word of Aloha and the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha, and all which he beheld.

⁹ I, Juhanon your brother, and your fellow-sharer in the affliction, and in the patience, which are in Jeshu Meshiha, was in the island which is called Pathamon, for the word of Aloha and for the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

⁹ And when he had opened the FIFTH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them who had been killed for the word of Aloha, and for the testimony of the Lamb, which had been theirs.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death.

¹⁷ And the dragon raged against the woman, and went to make war with those of the rest of her seed which kept the commandments of Aloha, and had the testimony of Jeshu. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

⁴ These are they who with women have not been defiled, for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These by Jeshu were redeemed from men, first-fruits unto Aloha and to the Lamb.

¹⁷ And every captain and every pilot who navigateth to the place, and the mariners, and all who serve on the sea, stood from afar,

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship; and he said to me, See (that thou do it) not; thy fellowservant (am I), and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jeshu. Aloha worship; for the testimony of Jeshu is the spirit of prophecy. ¹¹ And I saw heaven opened. And behold a white horse, and he who sat upon him was called the Faithful and the True; and in righteousness he judgeth and maketh war.

¹⁶ And he had upon his vestment and upon his thigh the name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.
