1 John 4 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ MY beloved, believe not all spirits, but discern the spirits whether they be from Aloha; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. ² By this we know the Spirit of Aloha: Every spirit who confesseth that Jeshu Meshiha hath come in the flesh, is from Aloha. ³ And every spirit who confesseth not that Jeshu hath come in the flesh, is not from Aloha: but this is from that false meshiha, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and now is in the world already. ⁴ But you of Aloha are the children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is with you, than he who is in the world. ⁵ And these are of the world, therefore the world heareth them. ⁶ But we are of Aloha; and he who knoweth Aloha heareth us; and he who is not of Aloha heareth us not. In this itself we perceive the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception. ⁷ My beloved, let us love one another, because love is of Aloha; and every one who loveth from Aloha is born, and knoweth Aloha. For Aloha is Love; ⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha. ⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ MY beloved, if Aloha so hath loved us, we also are indebted to love one another. ¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us. ¹³ And by this we know that in him we abide, and he abideth in us, because of his Spirit he hath given us. ¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father hath sent his Son, the Redeemer of the world. ¹⁵ Whosoever confesseth Jeshu that he is the Son of Aloha, in him Aloha abideth, and he abideth in Aloha. ¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love which Aloha hath toward us; for Aloha is Love. And every one who abideth in love in Aloha abideth. ¹⁷ And in this is his love perfected with us, that openness of face we might have in the day of judgment; because that as He was, so also we are in this world. ¹⁸ Fear in love is not: but perfect love hath cast out fear, because fear is in terror.[Bequento, In periculo.- SCHAFF. Root, Quenat, vitavit, extimuit vehementer. Fabricius has in perturbatione.] He who feareth is not perfect in love. ¹⁹ We then will love Aloha, because he hath first loved us. ²⁰ But if one shall say, I love Aloha, and his brother he hateth, he is a liar. For he who his brother whom he hath seen loveth not, how can he love Aloha himself whom he hath not seen? ²¹ And this commandment we have received from him, That every one who loveth Aloha shall love also his brother.

Another commandment greater than these there is not. ³² That Sophra said to him, Well, Rabi, and truly hast thou spoken: for One there is and no other than He: ³³ and that a man love Him with [Ad literam, From all, &c.] all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and that he love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

²¹ Then, if any man shall say to you, Behold, here is the Meshicha! and, Behold, (he is) there! believe not.

¹⁴ And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before* me, because he is anterior** to me. [* Kedom, coram, ante. ** Kadomi, antiquus, vetus, prior, anterior.] ¹⁶ And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha. ¹⁸ ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.

¹⁸ ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him. ¹⁸ He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha.

³¹ For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth.

⁴⁵ But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not. ⁴⁶ Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha. ⁴⁸ The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil? ⁴⁹ Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me. ⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.

⁵⁴ Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God. ⁵⁵ But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; for I will come to you ¹⁹ a little after. And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself.

²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself. ²² Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world?

²² Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world? ²³ Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [A mansion.] with him we make.

²³ Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [A mansion.] with him we make. ²⁴ But he who loveth me not, keepeth not my word. And the word that you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me. ²⁵ These have I spoken with you while I am with you. 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.

³⁰ Henceforth I will not speak with you much; for the ruler of the world cometh, and in me hath he nothing.

¹² This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.

¹² This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Love which is greater than this is not, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

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.

¹⁹ And if of the world you were, the world its own would have loved; but you are not of the world, for I have chosen you from the world; on which account the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake with you, That there is no servant who is greater than his lord. If me they have persecuted, you also will they persecute; and if my word they had kept, yours also would they keep.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spake with you, That there is no servant who is greater than his lord. If me they have persecuted, you also will they persecute; and if my word they had kept, yours also would they keep.

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.

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. ²⁷ You also testify, because from the beginning are you with me.

¹¹ but of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

¹³ but when the Spirit of Truth hath come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; [From his own mind.] but all that he shall hear he will speak, and the things to come [The futurities.] will he make known to you.

¹³ but when the Spirit of Truth hath come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; [From his own mind.] but all that he shall hear he will speak, and the things to come [The futurities.] will he make known to you. ¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine he will take and will show you. ¹⁵ All whatever that the Father hath is mine: on this account I have said to you, That of mine he will take, and will show you.

³ But this is the life which is eternal, that they know thee, who art the true Aloha,[The Aloha of truth.] and Him whom thou hast sent, Jeshu Meshicha.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

¹⁶ for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

³⁷ Pilatos saith to him, Then thou art a king? Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said that I am a king. For this am I born, and for this I came into the world, to testify of the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

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

¹¹ for more noble[Or, free.] were those Jihudoyee who were there than those Jihudoyee who were in Thessalonika; and they heard from them the word daily with joy, while they decided from the scriptures whether these things were so.

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.

²⁹ For I know that after I shall have gone, there will enter with you furious wolves which will not spare the flock.

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

²⁵ whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, ²⁶ within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience, unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ Nevertheless Aloha hath manifested his love for us, in that, when we were sinners, the Meshiha for us died: ⁹ how much more, then, shall we be now justified through his blood, and by him be delivered from wrath? ¹⁰ For if, while we were adversaries, Aloha was reconciled with us through the death of his Son, how much more, then, in reconciliation with him,[Or, in his reconciliation.] shall we be saved by his life?

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. ¹⁰ And if the Meshiha be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹⁰ And if the Meshiha be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead dwell in you, he who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead will also make alive your dead bodies, on account of his Spirit who dwelleth in you.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead dwell in you, he who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead will also make alive your dead bodies, on account of his Spirit who dwelleth in you. ¹² Now, my brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, that according to the flesh we should walk. ¹³ For if after the flesh you live, you must die: but if, after the Spirit, the habitudes of the body you mortify, you live. ¹⁴ For they who by the Spirit of Aloha are led, they are the sons of Aloha. ¹⁵ For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption* of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father! [* Rucho da-simath benayo: The Spirit of the constituting of sons.]

¹⁵ For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption* of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father! [* Rucho da-simath benayo: The Spirit of the constituting of sons.] ¹⁶ And the Spirit himself witnesseth with our spirit, that we are the sons of Aloha. ¹⁷ And if sons, heirs also; heirs of Aloha, and the sons of the inheritance of Jeshu Meshiha. For if we suffer with him, with him also shall we be glorified.

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.]

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. ³¹ What then shall we say of these? If Aloha be for us, who is against us? ³² And if his Son be spared not, but for all of us delivered him up, how will he not with him give us all things?

³⁷ But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us.

⁹ And if thou wilt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jeshu, and wilt believe with thy heart that Aloha hath raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved.

⁸ As it is written, Aloha hath given them the spirit of trouble,[Spiritum stupidum. - WALTON.] And eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, until the present day.[Until the day of to-day.]

⁹ And let not your love be guileful; abhor things evil, cleave to the good. ¹⁰ Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.

⁹ for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹⁸ For they who are thus serve not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but their bellies; and with sweet words and benedictions seduce the hearts of the simple. ¹⁹ But your obedience is known to every one; I rejoice therefore in you, and I wish you to be wise unto good (works), and pure with regard to [those which are] evil.

⁹ But as it is written, The eye hath not seen, nor the ear heard, nor the heart of man hath risen (to), that which Aloha hath prepared for those who love him.

¹² But we not the spirit of this world have received, but the Spirit who is from Aloha, that we might know that the gifts from Aloha are given unto us;

¹² But we not the spirit of this world have received, but the Spirit who is from Aloha, that we might know that the gifts from Aloha are given unto us; 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;

¹⁶ KNOW YOU not that you are the temple of Aloha, and (that) the Spirit of Aloha inhabiteth in you? ¹⁷ Whoso destroyeth the temple of Aloha, him will Aloha destroy for the temple of Aloha is holy, which you are.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food; but Aloha will abolish them both. But the body was not for fornication, but for our Lord, and our Lord for the body.

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,

³ I therefore make known to you, that there is no man who by the Spirit of Aloha speaketh, and saith that Jeshu is accursed; [Cherem.] and no man also can say that Jeshu is THE LORD unless by the Spirit of Holiness.

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.

¹³ For these are the three that remain, faith and hope and love; but the greatest of these is love.

²⁹ Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the rest discern.

³⁷ But if any man of you think that he is a prophet, or that he is spiritual,[Or, of the Spirit.] let him acknowledge these which I write to you to be the commandments of our Lord.

⁴ (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them.

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.

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.

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. ²¹ For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.

¹⁶ Or what union hath the temple of Aloha with (that) of demons? For you are the temple of Aloha the living; as it is written, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched.

⁷ Do we regard persons? If any man confide in himself that he is of the Meshiha, let this one know of himself, that as he is of the Meshiha, so also are we.

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.

⁹ but now that you have known Aloha, and especially that you have been acknowledged of Aloha, turn you again to those diseased and beggarly principles, and will to be subject to them afresh?

⁶ For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.

¹⁴ For all the law in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience;

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: ²⁵ live we therefore in the Spirit,

² in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age,[Olmoyutheh dolmo hono.] and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth [D'methchaphto.] in the sons of disobedience; ³ in those works in which we also walked from the first in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and were the sons of wrath fully as the rest. ⁴ BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, for his great love wherewith he loved us

⁴ BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, for his great love wherewith he loved us ⁵ while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,

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.

¹⁷ that the Meshiha may dwell by faith in your hearts in love; your root and your foundations being confirmed,

³¹ Let all bitterness, and heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken from you, with all malice;

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

¹² For your wrestling is not with flesh and blood (only), but with princes, and with powers, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits who are under heaven. ¹³ Wherefore clothe you with all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared in every thing you may stand.

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jeshu the Meshiha is the Lord, to the glory of Aloha his Father.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hid with the Meshiha in Aloha; ⁴ and when the Meshiha, who is our life, shall be manifested, then also will you be manifested with him in glory.

¹³ And bear with one another, and forgive one another, if any man have a complaint against his neighbour; even as the Meshiha hath forgiven you, so also forgive;

⁹ But concerning the love of the brethren, you need not (that I) write to you; for you yourselves are taught of Aloha to love one another.

⁹ But concerning the love of the brethren, you need not (that I) write to you; for you yourselves are taught of Aloha to love one another. ¹⁰ And so do you to all the brethren who are in all Makedunia; but I beseech of you, my brethren, to excel [therein].

²¹ Prove every thing, and what is good retain.

⁸ when he executeth the punishment, with burning of fire, on them who have not known Aloha, and on them who have not acknowledged the gospel of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

³ Let no one deceive you by any one of the methods,[Or, schemes.] because unless there shall come first the rebellion,[Mardutho.] and there be revealed the man of sin, the son of perdition; ⁴ He who is the adversary, and is exalted over all who is called God and Venerable; so that also in the temple of Aloha as Aloha he will sit, and will make manifest of himself as that he is Aloha. ⁵ Do you not remember, that, when I was with you, these I told you? ⁶ And now you know what [with]holdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. ⁷ For the mystery of iniquity already beginneth to be effective; only if that which now holdeth be taken from the midst, ⁸ then will be revealed that evil one, whom our Lord Jeshu will consume by the spirit of his mouth, and will abolish by the revelation of his advent. ⁹ For the coming of that (wicked one) is the working of Satana, with all power, and (with) signs and false miracles, 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. ¹¹ Wherefore Aloha will send them the working of deception, that they will believe the lie,

¹⁷ But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁶ And truly great is this mystery of righteousness,[Kinutho.] which was revealed in the flesh, and justified by the Spirit, and seen of angels, and preached among the peoples, and believed in the world, and taken up into glory.

¹ But the Spirit distinctly saith, that in the last times some will remove from the faith, and will go after deceiving spirits, and after doctrines of demons.

¹⁶ he who only is incorruptible, and (who) dwelleth in light which no man can approach; whom no man of men hath seen, nor is able to see: to him be honour and power for ever and ever. Amen.

⁷ For Aloha hath not given to us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of discipline.[Marathyonutho.]

¹³ But wicked men and seducers add to their wickedness, deceiving, and being deceived.

³ For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing.

³ For we also were afore-time without understanding, and disobedient and erring, and were subjected to various lusts; and in malice, and in envy we conversed, and were hateful, and also hating one another. ⁴ But when appeared the goodness and mercy of Aloha our Saviour, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness,

⁵ For unto which one from (among) the angels at any time said Aloha, Thou art MY SON; I to-day have begotten thee?

²⁷ By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible.

² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down. ³ CONSIDER, therefore, how much he endured from sinners who were adversaries to themselves, that ye weary not, nor fail in your souls.

²⁸ THEREFORE because we have received the kingdom which is immoveable,[Not moved.] let us hold the grace by which we may serve and please Aloha with reverence and with fear: ²⁹ for our God is a devouring fire.

¹³ For judgment is to be without mercy, upon him who hath not done mercy. Be you exalted by mercy over judgment.

¹⁹ Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble.

²² Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected,

⁸ whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:

²² Let your souls be sanctified in obedience to the truth, and be filled with the charity which respecteth not persons, that with a pure heart and perfect you may love one another,

²⁴ and took all our sins and upbore [Vaseq enun. Aphel of nesaq, ascendit, clevarit.] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,

⁸ But, finally be all unanimous, and suffer with those who suffer, and love one another, and be merciful and gentle;

¹⁶ while you have a good conscience; that as they speak against you as against evil men, they may be made ashamed who have traduced your good conversations in the Meshiha. ¹⁷ For it helpeth you (if) while doing goodly works you have to sustain evil, if so it be the will of Aloha, and not while working evils. ¹⁸ Because the Meshiha also once died on account of sins, the just on account of sinners, that he might bring [Or, present.] us unto Aloha. And dead in the body and alive in the Spirit,

¹⁸ Because the Meshiha also once died on account of sins, the just on account of sinners, that he might bring [Or, present.] us unto Aloha. And dead in the body and alive in the Spirit,

¹ If then the Meshiha hath suffered for you in the flesh, be you also armed in it with the same mind; for every one who dieth in his body hath ceased from all sins, ² that henceforth to the lusts of men he should not live, what time he is in the body, but to the will of Aloha. ³ For the time which hath passed sufficeth to have served the will of the Gentiles in indulgence, in drunkenness, in vileness, in revellings, and in the service of demons.

⁸ And before every thing have ardent love for one another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.

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. ¹⁴ And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you.

¹² These few, as I consider, I have written to you by the hands of Silvanos, a faithful brother; and I persuade and testify, that this is the true grace of Aloha, this wherein you stand.

¹ BUT there were false prophets in the world, as also among you there will be false teachers, they who introduce heresies of destruction,[Abadono.] and, the Lord who bought them denying, bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go after their wickedness; they, on account of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ And with fraudulency [Olubutho is used both for avaritia and defraudatio.] of deceptive words will they make merchandise of you; they, whose judgment (denounced) before tarrieth not, and whose destruction doth not sleep.

⁹ - the Lord knoweth how to deliver from affliction them who fear him, but the evil unto the day of judgment to be tormented will he reserve.

² That you may remember the words which were before spoken by the holy prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and our Saviour (delivered) by the apostles.

⁷ But the heaven which is now, and the earth, by his own word are set, being reserved unto fire, unto the day of judgment and the perdition of wicked men.

¹ WE announce [Mesabrinan.] to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. 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.

⁵ And this is the annunciation which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that Aloha is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ And if we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and in the truth do not proceed;

¹ My sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just; ² for he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of the whole world.

² for he is the propitiation for our sins, and not on behalf of ours only, but also on behalf of the whole world.

⁴ For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But he who keepeth his word, in him is perfected truly the love of Aloha; for by this we know that we are in him.

⁹ Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him. ¹¹ He who hateth his brother is in darkness, and in the darkness walketh, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness itself hath blinded his eyes.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who hath been from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked. I have written to you, children,[Teloyee.] because you have known the Father.

¹⁸ My sons, it is the last time: and as you have heard, the false meshiha cometh; and now there are many false meshihas, and from this we know that it is the last time.

²² Who is a liar, if not he who denieth that Jeshu is the Meshiha? and this (one) is a false meshiha. ²³ He who denieth the Father, denieth also the Son; and he who denieth the Son, disbelieveth also the Father. Whoso confesseth the Son, the Father also confesseth.

²⁸ And now, my sons, continue in him: that when he is manifested we may not he confounded of him, but we may have confidence at his coming. ²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, know also that every one who doeth righteousness is of him.

¹ And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him.

³ And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.

⁶ And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.

⁹ Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born. ¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha. ¹¹ For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another.

¹¹ For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another. ¹² Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth. ¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.

¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.

¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves. ¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?

¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?

¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha? ¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.

¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.

¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts. ²⁰ And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing!

²⁰ And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing! ²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha.

²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha. ²² And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful [Shaphirthö.] before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us.

²³ And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom [Hau d'yahab.] he hath given to us.

¹ MY beloved, believe not all spirits, but discern the spirits whether they be from Aloha; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. ² By this we know the Spirit of Aloha: Every spirit who confesseth that Jeshu Meshiha hath come in the flesh, is from Aloha. ³ And every spirit who confesseth not that Jeshu hath come in the flesh, is not from Aloha: but this is from that false meshiha, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and now is in the world already. ⁴ But you of Aloha are the children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is with you, than he who is in the world.

⁶ But we are of Aloha; and he who knoweth Aloha heareth us; and he who is not of Aloha heareth us not. In this itself we perceive the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception. ⁷ My beloved, let us love one another, because love is of Aloha; and every one who loveth from Aloha is born, and knoweth Aloha. For Aloha is Love; ⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha.

⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha.

⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha. ⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him.

⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ MY beloved, if Aloha so hath loved us, we also are indebted to love one another. ¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us.

¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us. ¹³ And by this we know that in him we abide, and he abideth in us, because of his Spirit he hath given us.

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

¹⁵ Whosoever confesseth Jeshu that he is the Son of Aloha, in him Aloha abideth, and he abideth in Aloha. ¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love which Aloha hath toward us; for Aloha is Love. And every one who abideth in love in Aloha abideth.

¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love which Aloha hath toward us; for Aloha is Love. And every one who abideth in love in Aloha abideth. ¹⁷ And in this is his love perfected with us, that openness of face we might have in the day of judgment; because that as He was, so also we are in this world. ¹⁸ Fear in love is not: but perfect love hath cast out fear, because fear is in terror.[Bequento, In periculo.- SCHAFF. Root, Quenat, vitavit, extimuit vehementer. Fabricius has in perturbatione.] He who feareth is not perfect in love. ¹⁹ We then will love Aloha, because he hath first loved us. ²⁰ But if one shall say, I love Aloha, and his brother he hateth, he is a liar. For he who his brother whom he hath seen loveth not, how can he love Aloha himself whom he hath not seen?

²⁰ But if one shall say, I love Aloha, and his brother he hateth, he is a liar. For he who his brother whom he hath seen loveth not, how can he love Aloha himself whom he hath not seen?

¹ WHOSOEVER believeth that Jeshu is the Meshiha of Aloha is born. And every one who loveth the Generator loveth also him who is generated of him.

⁴ Because every one who is born of Aloha overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. ⁵ For who (is he) that overcometh the world, but he who believeth that Jeshu is the Son of Aloha?

⁹ If the testimony of men we receive, how much greater is the testimony of Aloha? and this is the testimony which Aloha hath testified concerning his Son.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son.

¹⁹ We know that we are of Aloha, and the whole world in the Evil is lying.

⁷ Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist.

¹⁷ But you, my beloved, remember those words which before were spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and the Adversary, which seduceth the whole habitable world. And he was cast upon the earth, and his angels with him were cast.

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.
