1 Peter 5 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ BUT I entreat of the presbyters who are among you, I, a presbyter, your companion, and a witness of the sufferings of the Meshiha, and a partaker of his glory that is to be revealed; ² feed the flock of Aloha which is delivered to you, and take care (of it) spiritually,[Vasuru ruchonoith.] not by constraint, but with the will; not for corrupt gain, but with all your heart; ³ not as lords of the flock, but that you may be to them a goodly example; ⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not. 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. ⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of Aloha, that he may exalt you at the right time. ⁷ And all your anxiety cast upon Aloha, because he is careful over you. ⁸ Watch, and be mindful, because your adversary Satana, as a lion, roareth and walketh and seeketh whom he may devour. ⁹ Withstand him then, being confirmed in the faith; and know that upon your brethren also who are in the world, these same sufferings come. 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. ¹¹ To Him be glory and dominion and honour unto the age of ages. Amen. 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. ¹³ The elect church which is in Babel, asketh for your peace, and Markos my son. ¹⁴ Salute one another with the holy kiss. Peace be with all of you who are in the Meshiha. Amen.

²⁵ WHEREFORE I say unto you, Let not your souls be anxious what you shall eat and what you shall drink, and for your bodies what you shall wear.

³³ But seek first the kingdom of Aloha and his righteousness, and all these shall be added unto you. ³⁴ Be not therefore anxious for to-morrow; the morrow shall care for its own: the evil of to-day is enough for it.

³¹ WHEN the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. ³² And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he shall cause the sheep to stand upon his right hand, and the goats on his left. ³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom which was to be for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I thirsted, and you made me to drink; I was a stranger, and you received me; ³⁶ I was naked, and you covered me; I was sick, and you cared for me; and I was in prison, and you came to me. ³⁷ Then shall say unto him those righteous, Our Lord! when did we see that thou wast hungry, and fed thee, or that thou didst thirst, and we gave thee drink? ³⁸ and when did we see thee a stranger, and received thee, or naked, and covered thee? ³⁹ and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say to them, Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me you did it. ⁴¹ Then shall he say also unto them on his left hand, Go from me, accursed, into the fire of eternity, which was prepared for the accuser and for his angels.

¹¹ And when they bring you into the synagogues, before heads and authorities, be not anxious how you shall express yourselves, [Tephakun rucho, how you shall put forth the mind.] or what you shall say; ¹² for the Spirit of Holiness will teach you in that hour what you ought to say.

²⁴ But there was also a contention among them, who of them was the greatest. ²⁵ And Jeshu said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are their lords; and they who exercise authority over them, doers of good are called. ²⁶ But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth. ²⁷ For who is greatest, he who reclineth, or he who serveth?

³¹ AND Jeshu said to Shemun, Shemun, behold, Satana, demandeth to sift thee as wheat; ³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and thou also, in the time that thou art converted, confirm thy brethren.

⁴⁸ And you are the witnesses of these.

⁴⁴ You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him.

¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

²¹ This when Kipha saw, he said to Jeshu, My Lord, and this, what?

²² which went forth from the baptism of Juhanon until the day that he was taken up from (being) with us, to be with us a witness of his resurrection.

³² This Jeshu hath Aloha raised, and we all are his witnesses.

¹⁵ And Him the Prince of life you killed, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead; and we all are his witnesses.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jeshu whom you killed and hanged on the tree. ³¹ Him hath Aloha constituted a Prince and a Saviour, and elevated him at his right hand, to give repentance and remission of sins unto Israel. ³² And we are witnesses of these words, and the Spirit of Holiness himself, whom Aloha hath given to them who believe in him.

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.

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.

³⁰ and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.

¹² And when he had understood, he came to the house of Mariam the mother of Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.

²⁵ BUT Bar Naba and Shaol returned from Urishlem to Antiokia after they had accomplished their ministry; and they took with them Juhanon who was called Markos.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha. ²³ And they constituted for them in all the churches presbyters, having fasted with them and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they had believed.

⁴ AND when they came to Urishlem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles, and by the presbyters. And they recounted to them how much Aloha had done with them;

⁶ But the apostles and presbyters assembled to consider this doctrine.

²² Then the apostles and presbyters, with all the church, elected men from them, and sent to Antiokia with Paulos and Bar Naba Jihuda, who was called Bar Shaba, and Shilo, men who were chief among the brethren. ²³ AND they wrote an epistle by their hands, thus: The apostles and presbyters and brethren, to those who are in Antiokia and in Syria and in Cilicia, the brethren who are of the Gentiles; peace.

¹⁷ AND from Militos he sent to bring the presbyters of the church of Ephesos;

²⁶ I testify to you this very day, that I am pure from the blood of you all. ²⁷ For I have not shunned to make known to you all the will of Aloha. ²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood.

³³ Silver, or gold, or raiment have I not coveted; ³⁴ and you know to the necessity of myself, and of those who are with me, these hands have ministered.

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.

¹⁵ and so am I urged to evangelize unto you also who are in Ruma.

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:

²⁰ But the entrance which was of the law, (made) sin to increase; and where sin increased, there grace hath abounded: 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.

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

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. ¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not equal to that glory which is to be revealed in us.

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.

¹¹ before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:

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

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.

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

¹¹ AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed. ¹² The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light. ¹³ And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention; ¹⁴ but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof).

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,

¹³ But the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, through faith, that you may abound in hope through the power of the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁶ Ask for the peace one of another with the holy kiss. All the churches of the Meshiha ask for your peace.

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;

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

³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

⁵ For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him?

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

⁷ Who serveth at service at the expenses of himself? or who planteth the vinery, and from the fruits thereof eateth not? or who pastureth sheep, and from the milk of the flock eateth not?

¹⁶ Yet also in preaching I have no cause to glory: for necessity lieth upon me; for woe to me unless I preach! ¹⁷ For if with my will I do this, I have a reward. But if without my will, (yet) a stewardship is confided to me.

²⁵ For every man who contendeth from every thing (besides with) holdeth his mind; and they who run (do it) that they may receive a crown that is corruptible, but we one that is incorruptible.

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.

²² Or, do we provoke the Lord? are we stronger than he?

¹¹ Nevertheless man is not without woman, neither is woman without man, in our Lord.

¹ BUT I make known to you, my brethren, the gospel which I have announced to you, and you have received, and in which you stand,

²⁰ All the brethren ask for your peace. Ask the peace of one another with the holy kiss.

¹⁹ For the Son of Aloha, Jeshu Meshiha, who by us hath been preached unto you, by me and by Sylvanas and by Timotheos, was not Yes and No, but it was Yes in him.

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

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu.

¹⁷ For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us.

¹ FOR we know that if our earthly house of this body were dissolved, we have nevertheless a building that is by Aloha; a house which is not made with hands, in the heaven, eternal.

⁸ On this account we confide, and long to pass away [Or, migrate.] from the body, and to be with our Lord.

¹⁷ Whoever therefore is in the Meshiha is a new creature; the old things have passed,

¹⁴ Behold, this is three times that I prepare to come to you, and not to burden you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for their children. ¹⁵ But I gladly the expenses will spend, and also myself will I give for the sake of your souls: though, while the more I love you, you the less love me.

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. ¹² Salute one another with the holy kiss.

⁸ But if we also, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.[Cherem.] ⁹ As I have said before, and now again say to you, If any man preach to you other than what you have received, let him be accursed.[Cherem.]

³ that by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I have written to you in few (words);

²⁷ and give no place to the accuser.

²¹ And be subject one to another in the love of the Meshiha.

¹¹ And clothe you in all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the accuser.

¹¹ And clothe you in all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the accuser. 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.

¹⁶ and with these take to you the shield of faith, that therewith you may be empowered with strength to extinguish all the burning shafts of that evil one;

²¹ But that you may know also what relateth to me, and what I am doing, behold, Tykikos, a brother beloved, and a faithful minister of our Lord, will make known to you;

²³ Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁹ For I know that these things shall be found unto my life by your prayers, and by the gift of the Spirit of Jeshu Meshiha;

²¹ For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me. ²² But if in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose. ²³ For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable [Profitable.] to me;

³ And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself.

¹⁷ Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us.

⁶ For nothing be anxious; but in all time, with prayer and with supplication, let your requests be made known before Aloha:

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.

¹³ for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me.

⁷ as you learned from Epaphra our beloved companion, who is himself for you a faithful minister of the Meshiha,

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.

⁵ For though in the flesh I am far from you, yet in the spirit I am with you; and I rejoice to behold your order, and the firmness of your faith in the Meshiha.

⁷ your roots strengthened,[Or, confirmed.] and you builded in him, and established in that faith which you have learned, that you may abound therein with thanksgiving.

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.

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

⁷ What concerneth me will Tykikos, a beloved brother and faithful minister, and our companion in the Lord, make known to you:

⁹ with Onesimos, the faithful and beloved brother who is of you. These will make you know what concerneth us.

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; ⁶ and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

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.

¹⁵ who killed our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and the prophets who were of them, and ourselves have persecuted, and Aloha have not pleased, and have acted adversely to all men; ¹⁶ who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!

³ that none of you should be slain through these afflictions; for you know that to this we are set.

⁶ Sleep we not, therefore, as the rest; but be wakeful and sober. ⁷ For they who sleep, in the night sleep; and they who are drunken, in the night are drunken. ⁸ But we who are sons of the day must be wakeful in our minds, and wear the mail-coat [Sheryono. Heb. Shiryon.] of faith and of love, and put on the helmet of the hope of salvation.

²⁶ Ask the peace of all our brethren, with the holy kiss.

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, 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. ⁹ For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; 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.

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

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.

⁹ Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony which cometh in its time,

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,

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

² But it behoveth that a presbyter be as that blame be not found in him; and that he be the husband of one wife; (a man) who is of a vigilant mind, chaste, and orderly, and a lover of guests, and instructful; ³ and not a transgressor over wine, nor (one) whose hand hastens to strike; but he is to be gentle and not contentious, nor a lover of money;

⁸ And also the ministers [M'shamshonee.] must be pure, not speaking doubly, not inclined to much wine, nor shall they love unclean gains.

¹¹ Thus also must the woman be chaste, and they shall be vigilant (in their) minds, and faithful in every thing; and they shall not be accusers.

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.

¹ An elder do not reprimand, but persuade him as a father, and those who are young as thy brethren,

¹⁹ Against a presbyter an accusation receive not, except on the mouth of two or three witnesses.

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.

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,

¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing on account of the elect, that they also may find salvation in Jeshu Meshiha, with the glory that is eternal.

¹² But all they who will in the fear of Aloha to live in Jeshu Meshiha, are persecuted.

⁷ The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept. 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.

¹⁷ But my Lord stood with me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and (that) all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

³ and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:

⁵ For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee.

⁷ For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains. ⁸ But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;

¹¹ those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.

² and teach, That the elders be watchful in their minds, and be chaste and pure, and sound in the faith, and in charity, and in patience.

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

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

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,

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.

¹ Put them in mind that to princes and to powers they are to hearken and to be obedient, and to be prepared for every good work.

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.

¹⁴ but without thy counsel I was not willing to do any thing, that thy goodness might not be as by constraint, but of thy will.

¹⁵ For this was he made the Mediator of the new covenant, that by his death he might become the ransom for those who had transgressed against the first covenant, (and) that they might receive the promise, they, who are called unto the inheritance which is eternal.

³³ they who through faith conquered kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions,

¹⁵ And be aware lest any one be found among you failing of the grace of Aloha; or lest any root of bitternesses should put forth the flower and injure you, and many be contaminated:

⁵ Let not your mind love money; but let whatever ye have suffice you: for the Lord hath said, I will not abandon thee, nor withhold from thee support.[Withhold from thee hands; that is, help, strength, &c.] ⁶ And it is ours to say confidently, My Lord is my helper, I will not fear: what [can] a man do to me?

¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.

²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord,

²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord, ²¹ make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his will, and effect in you whatever is good before him, by Jeshu Meshiha: to him be glory unto the age of ages. Amen. ²² Now I request from you, my brethren, that ye prolong your minds on the word of exhortation; for in a few (words) I have written to you.

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.

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.

⁶ But more excellent grace hath our Lord given unto us. Wherefore he saith, Aloha humbleth the proud, and to the humble he giveth grace. ⁷ BE subject, therefore, unto Aloha; withstand Satana, and he will flee from you;

¹⁰ Be humbled before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

¹⁰ The example of the prophets take to you, my brethren, to prolong your spirits in your afflictions, them who have spoken in the name of the Lord.

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. 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,

⁴ and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven, ⁵ while you are kept by the power of Aloha and through faith, unto the salvation which is prepared to be revealed in the last times; ⁶ wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted [Or, straitened.] by manifold temptations which pass over you;

⁶ wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted [Or, straitened.] by manifold temptations which pass over you; ⁷ that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha;

⁷ that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha;

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. 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;

⁹ But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom,[Damkahno lemalkutho.] a holy people, a congregation redeemed to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:

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.

²⁵ who had wandered as sheep, and are returned now unto the Shepherd and Guardian [Souro, curator.] of your souls.

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.

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.

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,

⁵ they who shall give account to Aloha, who will judge the dead and the living.

⁷ BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer.

¹¹ Whoever shall speak, as the word of Aloha let him speak and whoever ministereth, (he shall minister) as from the power which Aloha giveth to him, that in every thing which you do Aloha may be glorified through Jeshu Meshiha, whose are the glory and honour to the age of ages. Amen.

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.

² feed the flock of Aloha which is delivered to you, and take care (of it) spiritually,[Vasuru ruchonoith.] not by constraint, but with the will; not for corrupt gain, but with all your heart;

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

³ As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness [Dechalath Aloha, the fear, reverence, or worship of Aloha.] hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of virtue,[Or, excellence. B'teshbuchtho dileh va-damyathrutho.]

¹² Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.

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.

¹⁵ sons of malediction, who, forsaking the straight way, have erred, and gone in the way of Belam bar Beur, who the wages of iniquity loved.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life.

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.

⁸ And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana. 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.

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. ¹⁰ Whosoever believeth in the Son of Aloha hath this testimony in himself. Every one who believeth not Aloha hath made him a liar, in not believing the testimony that he hath testified concerning his Son.

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, ² on account of the truth which abideth in us, and is with us for ever; ³ Grace be with you and mercy and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from Jeshu Meshiha the Son of the Father, in truth and in love. ⁴ I have rejoiced much to have found of thy sons who walk in the truth, after the commandment we have received from the Father. ⁵ And now I entreat thee, Kuria, - no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, - that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk. 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. ⁸ Be watchful of yourselves, that not any thing perish which you have wrought; but (that with) a complete reward you may be recompensed. ⁹ Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha.[Or, Aloha is not in him.] He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him. ¹¹ For he who saith to him, "Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds. ¹² Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete. ¹³ The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.

¹³ The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.

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. ⁵ Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are strangers, ⁶ who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha. ⁷ For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth. ⁹ I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost[Kadmoyo.] of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not.

⁹ I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost[Kadmoyo.] of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from the church.

¹⁰ On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from the church. 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. ¹² Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

¹² Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. ¹³ I have many things which I would write to thee, but I will not with ink and reed write to thee. ¹⁴ But I hope that soon I shall see thee, and mouth to mouth we will speak. [1:15] Peace be with thee. The friends ask thy peace. Ask the peace of the friends each by his name.

³ My beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you (in particular) to do battle [D'aguno tebadun.] for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

²⁴ But to him who is able to keep you without falling and without spot, and to establish you without blemish,

⁶ and hath made us a priestly kingdom [Malkutho koknoitho, regnum sacerdotale.] unto Aloha and his Father; to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. ⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

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.

¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life

¹¹ I come quickly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

¹³ and every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all them which are therein. And I heard him who sat upon the throne saying: To the Lamb let there be given blessing, and honour, and glory, and praise, and dominion, for ever and ever.

¹¹ And there was given to each of them the white robe; and it was told them, that they should rest yet a little time, until should be completed their fellow-servants, their brethren who would be killed as also they.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who have come from great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

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.

¹² Wherefore let the heavens be glad, and those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the deceiver hath gone down to you, having great indignation, knowing that little time is to him.

⁵ And upon her forehead the name was written, Mystery: Babel the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth.

² And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen hath Babel the Great, and hath become a den of demons, and the keep of every unclean spirit, and the keep of every unclean and abominable bird, and the keep of every unclean and abominable beast of prey.

¹² No more (shall there be in thee) the burden of gold, and of silver and of precious stones, and of pearls; and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk and scarlet; and of every aromatic wood, and every vessel of elephant's-tooth, and every vessel of wood of great price, and of brass and of iron and of marble; ¹³ and cinnamon and omomun* and perfumes, and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil, and fine meal, and wheat, and cattle, and slaves, and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. [* Spikenard. Gr. text, - which the Syr. retains untranslated.]

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the deceiver, and Satana, who seduced all the habitable world, and bound him a thousand years;

¹⁰ And the accuser who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and of sulphur, as was also the beast of prey and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat thereon, from whom from his face fled earth and heaven; and place (as) to this was not found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is (the Book) of Life. And the dead were judged from the (records) which are written in the books according to their works.
