1 Peter 3 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ So you also, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that them who have not obeyed the word, by your comely manners without labour you may win, ² while they see that with reverence and with chastity you conduct yourselves. ³ Neither be adorned with outward adornings of the entwinement of your hair, or necklaces of gold, or of excelling vestments, ⁴ but adorn yourselves in the hidden man of the heart, with the spirit of gentleness which perisheth not, the ornament of excellence before Aloha. ⁵ For so also of old the holy women who confided in Aloha adorned themselves, and were subject to their husbands, ⁶ even as Sara was subject to Abraham, and called him My Lord: of her be you the daughters in good works, not being perturbed by any fear. ⁷ AND you, men, dwell likewise with your wives with knowledge, and as feeble vessels in honour hold them; for they also with you inherit the gift of the life of eternity; that you be not hindered in your prayers. 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. ¹⁰ Who then willeth life, and loveth good days to see? Let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak not guile. ¹¹ Let him depart from evil and do good, and seek peace and run after it. ¹² For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears, to hear them; and the face of the Lord is against the wicked. ¹³ And who (is he) who will do you evil if you be emulous of good [Plural.] (actions)? ¹⁴ And (yet) if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy. And you will not fear them who would make you afraid, nor be shaken. ¹⁵ But sanctify in your hearts the Lord Meshiha. AND be prepared to make defence to every one who shall seek of you speech concerning the hope of the faith, with meekness and with seriousness, 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, ¹⁹ he preached unto those souls who were held in sheul, ²⁰ those who before were disobedient in the days of Nuch;[Or, Nooch.] while the long-suffering of Aloha commanded that he should make the ark, upon the hope of their conversion, and eight souls only entered therein, and were saved in the waters. ²¹ After which very type also you are saved in baptism,[B'mahmuditho.] not while you cleanse the body from filth, but while you make confession of [Or, in.] Aloha with a pure conscience, and of [Or, in.] the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha; ²² who is exalted unto heaven, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and unto whom are subject angels and authorities and powers.

That, therefore, which Aloha hath conjoined, man shall not separate. ⁷ They said to him, Why then did Musha direct that he should give a writing of dismissal and send her away? ⁸ He said to them, Musha, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to send away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so. ⁹ And I say to you that whosoever shall forsake his wife who is not adulterous, and take another, committeth adultery; and whosoever taketh the deserted one, committeth adultery.

⁹ If we this day are judged of you concerning the good which has been done to the infirm man, insomuch that he is cured; ¹⁰ be this known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, whom you crucified, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead, through this Himself, behold, this (man) standeth before you well.

¹⁰ be this known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, whom you crucified, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead, through this Himself, behold, this (man) standeth before you well. ¹¹ This is the stone which you builders rejected, and he is become the head of the corner.

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.

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.

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.

³⁹ Paulos said to him, I am a man a Jihudoya from Tarsos of Cilicia, an illustrious city in which I was born: I pray you permit me to speak to the people.

¹⁴ And he said to me, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see that Just One, and to hear the voice from his lips,

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

¹⁶ Because of this also I labour to have a good conscience before Aloha and before men, continually.

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.

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:

⁴ Or upon the riches of his goodness, and upon his long-suffering, and upon the space he giveth thee, presumest thou? and knowest not that the goodness of Aloha unto repentance leadeth thee? ⁵ Yet, through the hardness of thy unrepenting heart, layest thou up the treasure of wrath for the day of wrath, and the revelation of the just judgment of Aloha,

²⁹ but he is a Jihudoya who is one in inwardness; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from the sons of men, but from Aloha.

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

¹ BECAUSE, then, we are justified by faith, we have peace with Aloha through our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ² And by him we have been admitted through faith into this grace in which we stand, and exult in hope of the glory of Aloha.

⁶ But if the Meshiha on account of our infirmity in this time for the wicked hath died: ⁷ for hardly for the wicked one dieth; for on account of the good one may perhaps dare to die. ⁸ Nevertheless Aloha hath manifested his love for us, in that, when we were sinners, the Meshiha for us died:

¹⁴ yet death reigned from Adam until Musha on them also who had not sinned after the manner of the transgression of the law of Adam, who was the type of him who was to be.

³ Or do you not know, that they who have been baptized into Jeshu Meshiha, into his death have been baptized? ⁴ For we are buried with him by baptism into death; that as Jeshu Meshiha arose from among the dead by the glory of his Father, so also we in a new life shall walk. ⁵ For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be. ⁶ For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin.

⁶ For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin.

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.

² as a woman who is bound in law to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

¹⁹ For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil that I will not to do, that do I.

²¹ I find then a law which accordeth with my mind, that willeth to do good, because evil is near to me. ²² For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man;

³ Because the law was weak through the infirmity of the flesh, Aloha sent his Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, on account of sin to condemn sin in his flesh;

⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

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.

²⁶ So also the Spirit helpeth our infirmity: for what to pray for as we ought we know not; but the Spirit himself prayeth on our behalf in groanings unspoken. ²⁷ But he who searcheth the hearts, he knoweth the mind of the Spirit, who, according to the will of Aloha, prayeth for the saints. 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.

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

³⁴ Who condemneth? The Meshiha hath died and arisen, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and prayeth for us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor authorities, nor powers, nor things subsisting, nor things to come,

¹ I say the truth in Meshiha, and lie not; my conscience witnesseth for me in the Spirit of Holiness,

⁷ neither also are they who are of the seed of Abraham all children; because it was said, In Ishok shall be called unto thee the seed: ⁸ but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed. ⁹ For the promise is this word, In this time I will come, and a son shall be unto Sara.

²² BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,

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. ¹⁰ For the heart which believeth in him is justified, and the mouth which confesseth him is saved.

¹⁶ But all of them have not obeyed [Lit. "heard."] the preaching of the gospel: for Eshaia saith, My Lord, who hath believed our voice?

² And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹⁰ Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.

¹⁴ Bless your persecutors; bless, and curse not. ¹⁵ Rejoice with them who rejoice, and weep with them who weep. 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. ¹⁷ And repay to no man evil for evil, but be careful to do good before all men. ¹⁸ And if possible, as much as is in you, with all men make peace. ¹⁹ And avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath; for it is written, that if thou execute not judgment for thyself, I will execute thy judgment, saith Aloha. ²⁰ And if thy adversary hunger, feed him; and if he thirst, give him drink: and if these things thou do unto him, coals of fire thou wilt heap upon his head. ²¹ Let not evil overcome you, but overcome evil with good.

³ For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁹ Now, after peace let us pursue,[Run.] and after the edification of one another,

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,

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.

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.

¹² and we labour, working with our hands. They revile us, and we bless; they persecute us, and we endure; ¹³ they maltreat us, and we pray for them; as the refuse of the world are we made and the execration* of all men until now. [* Kuphoro. Piaculum; flagitium expiatione dignum.]

³ And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife; so also the wife to her husband.

¹⁶ For how knowest thou, wife, whether thou mayest save thy husband? Or knowest thou, man, if thy wife thou mayest save?

¹⁹ For while free of all men, to all men I subject myself, that the many I may gain. ²⁰ And I become with the Jihudoyee as a Jihudoya, that the Jihudoyee I may gain; and with them who are under the law, I become as one under the law, that them who are under the law I may gain; ²¹ and to those who have not the law I become as one without law, while I am not unto Aloha without law, but in the law of the Meshiha, that them also who have not law I may gain. ²² I become with the weak as weak, that the weak I may gain. To all men all become I, that every man I may save.

³ But I would that you know that the Meshiha is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Meshiha is Aloha.

¹³ For we all by one Spirit into one body are baptized; whether Jihudoyee or Aramoyee; whether servants or sons of freedom; and all of us have imbibed one Spirit.

²² But those members which are considered to be feeble, of them is the more especial need; ²³ and those which we consider contemptible in the body, to these the more we increase the honour; and on those which are of shame we bestow the greater decoration. ²⁴ But those members that are honourable in us have no need of adornment: [Or, honour.] but Aloha hath contempered the body, and given the more honour to the member which is inconsiderable;

²⁶ as that when one member shall be diseased, all may suffer; and if one member be glorified, all the members may be glorified.

¹ Follow (then) after love, and be emulous of the gifts of the Spirit, but especially that you may prophesy.

³⁴ LET your women in the church be silent; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also saith the law.

²⁴ And then will be the end, when he delivereth the kingdom unto Aloha the Father; when he abolisheth every head, and all authority and all powers.

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of Aloha, we are conversant in the world; and not with the wisdom of the flesh, and especially with you yourselves.

²⁴ Not because we are lords of your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.

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.

¹⁶ For this cause we have not weariness; for if our outward man is wasted, yet the interior man is renovated day by day.

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 Because then we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all impurity of the flesh and of the spirit, and accomplish sanctification in the fear of 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,

¹⁰ For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

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

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:

²⁷ For they who into the Meshiha are baptized have been clothed with the Meshiha.

²² For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one of the bondmaid, and one of the free. ²³ But he who was of the bondmaid was born according to the flesh, and he who was of the free was by the promise. ²⁴ But these are parables of the two covenants: the one which was from Mount Sinai bringing forth into bondage, which is Hagar: ²⁵ for Hagar is Mount Sinai which is in Arabia, and answers to this Urishlem, and serves in bondage, she and her children. ²⁶ But she, Urishlem the high, is the free, who is our mother.

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.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, while the time is ours, let us do good unto every man, and especially to the sons of the house of the faith.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Meshiha, and raised him from among the dead, and set him at his right hand in heaven, ²¹ above all the principalities, and powers, and mighty ones, and rulers, and above every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in (that) to come;

¹⁶ and hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain the enmity. ¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; ¹⁸ therefore, through Him there hath been made for us both an access by one Spirit unto the Father.

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,

² in all lowliness of mind, and composedness, and long-suffering; and be patient towards one another in love.

²² but that you put from you your former habitudes, the old man who is corrupt in deceitful lusts, ²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and wear the new man, who by Aloha is created in righteousness and in the sanctity of truth.[Vabchasyutho da-qushtho.]

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.

¹ Be therefore imitators of Aloha, as beloved children;

²² WIVES, be subject to your husbands as to our Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as the Meshiha is the head of the church, and he himself is the Saviour of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Meshiha, so also (should) wives be unto their husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her, ²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word,

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. ²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.

³³ Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.

⁵ Servants, be subject to your masters who are according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Meshiha:

¹⁸ And with all prayers, and with all supplications, pray at all times in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful in all seasons, praying constantly and invoking on behalf of all the saints;

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;

²⁹ And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer,

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.]

⁸ FINALLY, my brethren, those (things) which are true, and those which are honest, and those which are just, and those which are pure, and those which are lovely, and those which are laudable, and those (which are) works of praise and of celebration, these consider. ⁹ These which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these perform; and the God of peace will be with you.

⁵ for the hope which is kept for you in heaven, which at the first you heard through the word of the truth of the gospel,

²¹ YOU also, who before were aliens and adversaries in your minds by your evil works, 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; ²³ if you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister.

²⁷ To whom Aloha hath willed to make known what is the opulence of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is, The Meshiha, who in you (is) the hope of glory;

¹² And you have been buried with him by baptism, and in him have risen with him, who have believed in the power of Aloha who raised him from among the dead.

¹ IF, then, you have risen with the Meshiha, seek (the realities) which are on high, where the Meshiha sitteth at the right hand of Aloha.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hid with the Meshiha in Aloha;

⁹ and lie not one to another, but put off the old man with all his manners, ¹⁰ and wear the new, who is renovated by knowledge in the image of his Creator,

¹² Wear, therefore, as the chosen of Aloha, saints and beloved, compassions and tenderness, and benignity, and lowliness of mind, and composure, and patience.

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,

¹⁸ WIVES, be subject to your husbands, as it is right in the Meshiha. ¹⁹ Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

²² Servants, obey in every thing your masters according to the flesh, not in the sight of the eye (only), as those who please men, but from a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord.

⁵ In wisdom walk towards the outward ones, and redeem your opportunity. ⁶ And let your speech at all time be with grace as sprinkled [R. MADAK, aspersit.] with salt, each one knowing how it becometh him to return the answer.

⁴ and that every man of you know to possess his vessel in sanctification and in honour,

¹¹ And study to be quiet and be occupied with your own employments, and work with your hands, as we have admonished you;

¹⁵ And beware, lest any of you evil render for evil; but always follow after (those things which are) good (pl.) toward one another, and toward every man.

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.

¹² But these we command, and entreat of them by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that with quietness they work, and eat their (own) bread.

⁵ But the end [Soko, "design or scope."] of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

¹⁹ with faith and with a good conscience. For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;

² for kings and princes,[Or, great ones, rurbonee.] that an habitation quiet and tranquil we may inhabit in all the fear of Aloha and purity.

⁹ So also let women with decorous simplicity of apparel, with modesty and with chastity, adorn themselves, not with braidings, and with gold, and with pearls, and with fine vestments, ¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess the fear of Aloha.

¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess the fear of Aloha. ¹¹ Let the wife in quietude learn with all submission: ¹² for unto the wife to teach [Lamlophu, to dogmatize.] I permit not, neither to be authoritative [Or, daring.] over the husband, but to be in quietude.

¹⁵ But she is saved by her children, if they continue in faith, and in love, and in sanctification, and in chastity.

¹² And let no man despise thy youth; but be an example to the believers in word, and in conduct, and in charity, and in faith, and in purity.

⁵ But she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.

¹⁰ and who hath the testimony of good works: if she have brought up children, if she have received guests, if she have washed the feet of the saints, if she have cheered the afflicted, if she have walked in every gracious work.

¹² And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.

¹⁸ and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,

³ I thank Aloha, whom I serve from my fathers with a pure conscience, that constantly I remember thee in my prayers of the night and of the day;

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,

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, ²⁶ and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.

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

³ And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;

³ And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;

³ And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things; ⁴ making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and their children,

⁴ making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and their children,

⁴ making those who are young modest, to love their husbands and their children, ⁵ and to be chaste and holy, well mindful of their houses, and submissive to their husbands, that no man blaspheme the word of Aloha.

⁵ and to be chaste and holy, well mindful of their houses, and submissive to their husbands, that no man blaspheme the word of Aloha. ⁶ And of those who are young men, likewise, require that they be chaste.

⁶ And of those who are young men, likewise, require that they be chaste. ⁷ But in every thing show thyself the example in all good works, and in doctrine let there be with thee sound speech ⁸ which is sincere and incorrupt, and which no man will despise, that he who riseth against us may be ashamed when he cannot say any thing hateful against us.

⁸ which is sincere and incorrupt, and which no man will despise, that he who riseth against us may be ashamed when he cannot say any thing hateful against us. ⁹ Let servants to their masters be submissive in every thing, and please them, not contradicting, nor pilfering; ¹⁰ but let them show their good-trustiness [Shararhun tobo.] in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour. ¹¹ FOR the all-saving grace of Aloha [Or, the grace of Aloha saving all.] hath appeared to all men, ¹² and teacheth us to deny wickedness and the lusts of the world, and to live in this world in purity, and in rectitude, and in the fear of Aloha, 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.

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. ¹⁵ These speak, and require,[Or, exhort.] and maintain with all authority, and no man shall despise thee.

² And against no man to rail, nor be contentious, but gentle, and in every thing to show their benignity towards all men.

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, ⁶ which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour; ⁷ that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal.

⁷ that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal.

³ who himself is the resplendence of his glory, and the image of his Being, and upholdeth all (things) by the power of his word; and he, in his (own) person, hath made purification of sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[The Greatness in the high places.]

¹³ But to which from (among) the angels hath he said at any time, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine adversaries a footstool beneath thy feet? ¹⁴ Are not all they spirits of ministration, who (are) sent forth in service on behalf of those who are hereafter to inherit salvation?

⁶ but the Meshiha as THE SON over his [own] house: and his house are we, if, unto the end, we shall hold fast our confidence,[Retain our openness of faces.] and the triumph [The glorying.] of his hope.

⁹ And so was he perfected, and became unto all them who obey him the Cause of eternal salvation;

¹ Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,

¹⁴ and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

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, ¹⁹ [and] which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil, ²⁰ where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of MALKI-ZEDEK.

¹ BUT the sum [Risho, the chief.] of them all (is) We have a High Priest who hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven;

¹⁴ how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living?

²⁴ For not into the sanctuary made with hands hath the Meshiha entered, which is an emblem of the true one, but into heaven itself hath he entered, that he might appear before the face of Aloha for us.

²⁶ otherwise he would have been obligated many times to suffer from the beginning of the world. But now, in the end of the world, once hath he offered himself, that by his sacrifice he might abolish sin.

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.

¹² But this [High Priest] one sacrifice hath offered for sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of Aloha for ever:

⁷ By faith Nuch, when spoken with upon those things which had not been seen, feared, and made him the ark for the salvation of his family; [The sons of his house.] by which he condemned the world, and was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ BY faith Abraham, when he was called, heard that he was to go forth to a place which he should receive for an inheritance; and he went out, while he knew not whither he was going.

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.

¹⁹ For he thought within himself, that Aloha could* even from the dead upraise [him]: and on account of this in a similitude he was given to him.[* Lit. that power was in the hand of Aloha to upraise.]

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.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man, and after holiness, without which man our Lord seeth not.

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you;

¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.

¹⁸ Pray for us; for we are confident we have a good conscience, that in all things we desire to act aright.

¹² Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him.

²¹ Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls.

²⁶ And if a man thinketh that he serveth [Or, ministereth.] Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.

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

¹ LET there not be many teachers among you, my brethren, but know that a greater condemnation we incur. ² For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body. ³ For, behold, bridles into the mouth of horses we throw that we may make them submissive to us, and their whole body we turn. ⁴ Also the mighty ships, while the furious winds drive them, by a little wood are turned about to the region which the will of him who guideth doth contemplate. ⁵ So also the tongue is a small member, and uplifteth itself. A little fire also burneth many forests; [Obee sagiyee mauqdo.] ⁶ and the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire. ⁷ For every nature of animals, and of birds, and reptiles of the sea, and of the dry land, have been subjected to the human nature; ⁸ but the tongue no one can subdue; this is an evil not ordered, (and) full of the poison of death. ⁹ For by it we bless the Lord and the Father, and by it we curse men who in the likeness of Aloha were made; ¹⁰ and from the same mouth go forth curses and blessings. My brethren, it is not fit that these should so be done.

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; 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. 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.

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.

¹⁷ And he who knoweth the good and doeth it not, sin is to him.

⁶ You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.

¹¹ For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.

¹⁶ But confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. For great is the power of that prayer which the righteous prayeth.

¹⁹ My brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error, ²⁰ let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.

³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation,

³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation, ⁴ and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven,

¹¹ and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them. ¹² And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us [Lan dilan.] they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you [Or, evangelized you.] by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.

¹⁵ But be holy in all your conversations, as he is holy who calleth you;

¹⁷ And if you call him Father before whom there is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every man according to his works, with fear conduct you in this time of your sojourn;

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, ²³ as men who are regenerated, not by a perishable seed, but by that which is imperishable, by the living word of Aloha which abideth for ever.

¹ MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander;

¹² And let your conversation be good before all men; and they who speak against you malicious words shall see your good deeds, and shall glorify Aloha in the day of the probation.

¹⁵ For so is the will of Aloha, that by your comely works you may shut the mouth of fools who know not Aloha.

¹⁷ Honour all; your brethren love; and Aloha revere; and kings honour.

¹⁹ For these are pleasing before Aloha, who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure the afflictions that come upon them unjustly.

¹⁹ For these are pleasing before Aloha, who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure the afflictions that come upon them unjustly. ²⁰ For they who on account of their offences suffer tribulations, what praise have they? But when you do well and they afflict you, and you endure, then doth your praise become great with Aloha.

²⁰ For they who on account of their offences suffer tribulations, what praise have they? But when you do well and they afflict you, and you endure, then doth your praise become great with Aloha.

²⁰ For they who on account of their offences suffer tribulations, what praise have they? But when you do well and they afflict you, and you endure, then doth your praise become great with Aloha. ²¹ For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk.

²¹ For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk. ²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;

²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;

²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;

²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness; 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,

¹ So you also, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that them who have not obeyed the word, by your comely manners without labour you may win, ² while they see that with reverence and with chastity you conduct yourselves.

² while they see that with reverence and with chastity you conduct yourselves.

² while they see that with reverence and with chastity you conduct yourselves. ³ Neither be adorned with outward adornings of the entwinement of your hair, or necklaces of gold, or of excelling vestments, ⁴ but adorn yourselves in the hidden man of the heart, with the spirit of gentleness which perisheth not, the ornament of excellence before Aloha.

⁴ but adorn yourselves in the hidden man of the heart, with the spirit of gentleness which perisheth not, the ornament of excellence before Aloha. ⁵ For so also of old the holy women who confided in Aloha adorned themselves, and were subject to their husbands, ⁶ even as Sara was subject to Abraham, and called him My Lord: of her be you the daughters in good works, not being perturbed by any fear.

⁶ even as Sara was subject to Abraham, and called him My Lord: of her be you the daughters in good works, not being perturbed by any fear. ⁷ AND you, men, dwell likewise with your wives with knowledge, and as feeble vessels in honour hold them; for they also with you inherit the gift of the life of eternity; that you be not hindered in your prayers.

¹⁴ And (yet) if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy. And you will not fear them who would make you afraid, nor be shaken.

¹⁴ And (yet) if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy. And you will not fear them who would make you afraid, nor be shaken. ¹⁵ But sanctify in your hearts the Lord Meshiha. AND be prepared to make defence to every one who shall seek of you speech concerning the hope of the faith, with meekness and with seriousness,

¹⁵ But sanctify in your hearts the Lord Meshiha. AND be prepared to make defence to every one who shall seek of you speech concerning the hope of the faith, with meekness and with seriousness,

¹⁵ But sanctify in your hearts the Lord Meshiha. AND be prepared to make defence to every one who shall seek of you speech concerning the hope of the faith, with meekness and with seriousness, 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.

²¹ After which very type also you are saved in baptism,[B'mahmuditho.] not while you cleanse the body from filth, but while you make confession of [Or, in.] Aloha with a pure conscience, and of [Or, in.] the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha;

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,

⁶ For on this account the dead also have been evangelized; that they might be judged as men in the flesh, and live with Aloha in the Spirit.

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. ¹⁵ Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils.

¹⁵ Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils. ¹⁶ But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify Aloha in that very name. ¹⁷ For the time is, that judgment shall begin from the house of Aloha. But if from us it begin, what is the end (to be) of them who obey not the gospel of Aloha?

¹⁹ Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the will of Aloha commend to him their souls in good works, as unto the Faithful Creator.

⁵ And you younger, be subject to your presbyters, and be clothed carefully [Or, closely.] with humility of mind towards one another; because Aloha is against those who exalt themselves, and to the humble he giveth grace.

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.

⁷ but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.

⁵ and on the former world was not lenient, but Nuch, who was the eighth preacher of righteousness, he preserved, when the deluge came upon the world of the wicked;

¹¹ As, therefore, all these are to be dissolved, how behoveth it you to be holy in your conversation,

¹⁵ And the long-suffering of the Lord consider (to be for) salvation; as also our beloved brother Paulos according to the wisdom which hath been given to him hath written to you.

⁹ but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

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.

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.

¹¹ Our beloved, be not imitative of the evil, but of the good. He who doeth good is of Aloha, and he who doeth evil hath not seen Aloha.

⁵ And in their mouth falsehood was not found, for they are without spot.

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.

⁷ And when the thousand years shall be fulfilled, Satana will be loosed from the place of his keeping,
