2 Corinthians Cross References - Etheridge

¹ PAULOS, apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the will of Aloha; and Timotheos a brother: to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, and to all the saints who are in all Akaia. ² Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation, ⁴ who consoleth us in all our afflictions, that we may be able to console those who are in all afflictions by that consolation by which we are consoled of Aloha. ⁵ For as the sufferings of the Meshiha abound in us, so, through the Meshiha, our consolation aboundeth also. ⁶ But if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your salvation that we be afflicted: and if we are consoled, it is that you may be consoled, that there may be in you perseverance to endure those sufferings which we also suffer. ⁷ And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know that if you participate in the sufferings, you also participate in the consolation. ⁸ FOR I would have you to know, my brethren, of the affliction that befell us in Asia: for we were greatly pressed beyond our strength, until our life was nigh to be dissolved, ⁹ and because of these we had concluded (for) death;[Phasakan mautho.] that we should not have hope in ourselves, but in Aloha, who raiseth the dead: ¹⁰ who from deaths of violence delivered us, and who will again, we trust, deliver us, ¹¹ through the help of your prayers for us; that his gift towards us may be a benefit effected for many, and many may praise him on our behalf. 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. ¹³ For we write no other (things) to you than those which you know and acknowledge, and which I am confident you will acknowledge unto the end: ¹⁴ even as you have in part acknowledged that we are your glorying, as you also are ours in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁵ And in this confidence I have willed from the first to come to you, that doubly you may receive benefit, ¹⁶ and that I may pass by you to Makedunia, and again from Makedunia I may come to you, and you may lead me forth unto Jihud. ¹⁷ This then that I have purposed, have I purposed boastingly? or are they things of the flesh that I purpose, that I should have in them Yes, yes, or No, no? ¹⁸ Faithful is Aloha that our word with you was not Yes and No. 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. ²⁰ For all the promises of Aloha in him, in the Meshiha, are Yes; for which by him we give Amen to the glory of Aloha. ²¹ But Aloha himself confirmeth us with you in the Meshiha, who himself hath anointed us, ²² and hath sealed us, and given us the earnest-pledge [Rhabuno.] of his Spirit in our hearts. ²³ BUT I testify to Aloha on my soul that because I am sparing of you, I have not come to Kurinthos. ²⁴ Not because we are lords of your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.

²² For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son; ²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him.

²⁷ Work not (for) the food which perisheth, but (for) the food that endureth unto the life that is eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you: for this hath the Father sealed, (even) Aloha.

And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption. ³⁶ For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. ³⁷ But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption. ³⁸ Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins; ³⁹ and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.

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.

¹ And he came to Derbe the city, and to Lystra. BUT a certain disciple was there whose name was Timotheus, the son of a certain Jihudoytha, a believer, and his father an Aramoya.

¹ AND when Paulos had gone forth from Athinos, he came unto Kurinthos. ² And he found there a certain man, a Jihudoya, whose name was Akilos, who was from the country of Pontos, (and) who at that time had come from the country of Italia, himself and Priskila his wife, because Klaudios Cesar had commanded that all the Jihudoyee should go out from Ruma; and he drew near to them: ³ (and) because he was a son of their art, he dwelt with them and wrought with them: but in their art they were tentmakers. ⁴ And he discoursed in the synagogue every shabath, and persuaded the Jihudoyee and the Heathens. 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.

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. ⁶ And he shook his garments and said to them, From now I am clean: I go unto the Gentiles. ⁷ And he went forth from thence, and entered into the house of a man named Titos, who worshipped Aloha; and his house adjoined the synagogue. ⁸ And Krispos, master of the synagogue, believed in our Lord, he and all the sons of his house. And many of the Kurinthoyee heard and believed in Aloha, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said in a vision unto Paulos, Fear not, but speak and be not silent; ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man can do thee harm; and I have much people in this city. ¹¹ But he abode a year and six months in Kurinthos, and taught them the word of Aloha. ¹² AND when Galion was proconsul of Akaia, they gathered together against Paulos, and brought him before the tribunal,

²¹ But when these were fulfilled, Paulos set in his mind to itinerate throughout all Makedunia and Akaia, and to go into Urishlem. And he said, When I shall have gone thither, it behoveth me Ruma also to see. ²² And he sent two men of those who ministered to him to Makedunia, Timotheos and Aristos; but he remained a time in Asia. ²³ BUT there was made at that time a great tumult on account of the way of Aloha. ²⁴ For there was a certain worker of silver there whose name was Dimitrios, who made shrines of silver of Artemis, and he produced for the sons of his art great gains. ²⁵ This (man) assembled all the sons of his art and those who wrought with them, and said to them, Men, you know that all our merchandise is from this work; ²⁶ and you also hear and see, that not only the sons of Ephesos, but also many of all Asia, this Paulos persuadeth, and hath perverted them, saying, that there be no gods which by the hands of men are made. ²⁷ And not only is this business defamed and brought to an end, but also the temple of Artemis the great goddess is reputed as nothing, and she also, the goddess of all Asia, and (whom) all the nations worship, is despised. ²⁸ And when they heard these (words) they were filled with wrath; and they cried, and said, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee. ²⁹ And the whole city was perturbed, and they ran together and came to the theatre; and seizing, they led with them Gaios and Aristarkos, men of Makedunia, companions of Paulos. ³⁰ AND Paulos willed to enter the theatre, and the disciples restrained him. ³¹ And the chiefs of Asia, because they were his friends, sent, praying of him not to deliver [Or, give his life.] himself by going into the theatre. ³² But the crowd who were in the theatre were greatly commoved, and others cried other things; for many of them knew not on what account they were assembled. ³³ But the people of the Jihudoyee who were there appointed of them a man a Jihudoya, whose name was Aleksandros; and when he stood (forth) he signed that he would apologize to the people. ³⁴ And when they knew that he was a Jihudoya, all of them cried with one voice, as two hours, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee! ³⁵ And the chief of the city stilled them, saying, Men, Ephesoyee, who is there of mankind who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesoyee is a votaress of the great Artemis, and of her image which descended from heaven?

⁵ And after those days we departed to go on the way. And they accompanied us, all of them, they and their wives and their children, till without the city, and kneeled upon their knees on the sea shore, and prayed.

¹ And Paulos, looking upon their assembly, said, Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have conversed before Aloha, unto this day.

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

²¹ And for these things the Jihudoyee seized me in the temple, and would have killed me;

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha, ² which from of old he had promised by the hand of the prophets, in the holy writings, ³ concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David,

³ concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David, 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 and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord: ⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:

⁷ To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ For a witness unto me is Aloha, whom I serve in the spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing at all time I remember you in my prayers.

¹¹ For I greatly desire to see you, and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, that thereby you may be established, ¹² and that together we may be comforted by your faith and mine.

¹¹ For he received the sign of circumcision (as) a seal of the righteousness of his faith, which (was his) in uncircumcision, that he should be the father of all them who believe of the uncircumcision; that it might be accounted also to them for righteousness:

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have ordained thee the father of many nations before Aloha, in whom thou hast believed, who maketh alive the dead, and calleth those who are not as though they were:) ¹⁸ and who, without hope, unto hope believed that he should be the father of many nations, as it is written, that " so shall be thy seed." ¹⁹ Nor was he weak in his faith, while considering his body dead, (for he was the son of an hundred years,) and the dead womb of Sara; ²⁰ and at the promise of Aloha he wavered not as deficient in faith, but was strong in faith, and gave glory to Aloha; ²¹ and was sure that what he had promised to him Aloha could fulfil. ²² Wherefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness. ²³ And not for his sake only was this written, that his faith was reckoned for righteousness, ²⁴ but for our sake, because it should be reckoned to us also who believe in Him who hath raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered for our sins, and rose that he might justify us.

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. ³ And not thus only, but also in afflictions we exult; for we know that affliction perfecteth patience in us, ⁴ and patience experience, [Or, proof, probation.] and experience hope: ⁵ but hope maketh us not ashamed, because the love of Aloha is shed forth upon our hearts by the Spirit of Holiness who is given to us.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰ Well, they on account of unbelief were cut off, and thou by faith standest: be not exalted in thy mind, but fear.

²⁵ But I would have you know, my brethren, this mystery, that you may not be wise in your own mind, - that blindness of heart for a little space is unto Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be brought in:

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.

⁵ But the God of patience and of consolation give to you that with impartiality [Equality.] you may think one of another in Jeshu Meshiha, ⁶ that with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁷ Therefore, receive and bear with one another, as also the Meshiha hath received you, to the glory of Aloha. ⁸ But I say that Jeshu Meshiha ministered [to] the circumcision, on behalf of the truth of Aloha, that he might confirm the promise of the fathers, ⁹ and the Gentiles might glorify Aloha for his mercy that was upon them. As it is written, I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing.

²⁶ For they in Makedunia and in Akaia have desired that a communication should be made from themselves with the poor and the saints who are at Urishlem.

²⁹ And I know that when I come to you, with the plenitude of the blessing of the gospel of Meshiha I (shall) come. ³⁰ Now I entreat of you, my brethren, by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the love of the Spirit, to labour with me in prayer on my behalf, with Aloha, ³¹ that I may be delivered from them who believe not in Jihud, and (that) the service which I bear to the saints may be well received,

³¹ that I may be delivered from them who believe not in Jihud, and (that) the service which I bear to the saints may be well received, ³² and I may come to you with joy in the will of Aloha, and be rested with you.

⁵ And give salutation [Shalomo.] to the church which is in their house. Ask the peace of Epenetos, my beloved, who was the first-fruits of Akaia in the Meshiha.

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.

²¹ Timotheos, a labourer with me, and Lukios and Iason and Sosipatros my kinsmen 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;

¹ PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother, ² to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ who will confirm you to the end, that you may be without fault in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.

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

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.

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

²¹ On this account let no one boast in men: for every thing is yours; ²² whether Paulos, or Apolo, or Kipha, or the world, or life, or death, or things standing, or things to be; every thing is yours, ²³ and you are of the Meshiha, and the Meshiha of Aloha.

⁴ for of nothing in myself am I conscious; but not by this am I justified, but my judge is the Lord.

⁸ Now you are satiated, and are rich, and without us have reigned. But I would that you did reign, that we might also reign with you!

¹⁰ We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased. ¹¹ Until this hour we hunger and thirst, we are naked and beaten and have no fixed dwelling; 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.]

¹⁹ But if the Lord will, quickly come I unto you; and I will know not the words of them who exalt themselves, but their power.

²¹ How are you willing? with a rod shall I come to you, or with love and with the spirit of kindliness?

⁵ and you deliver this (man) to Satana for the destruction of his body, that in spirit he may be saved in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ Therefore, let us perform the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and animosity, but with the unleavened bread of purity and of holiness.

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

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.

³² Give no offence to Jihudoyee, or to Aramoyee, or to the church of Aloha.

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

³⁴ But whoever hungereth, in his (own) house let him feed; that you may not assemble unto condemnation. Concerning the rest, when I come I will direct you.

¹⁶ Otherwise, if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he who filleth the place of the unlearned [Hediuto.] say Amen to thy thanksgiving? for he knoweth not what thou sayest.

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,

¹⁰ but by the grace of Aloha I am what I am; and his grace in me was not in vain; but more than all have I laboured, (yet) not I, but his grace which is with me.

³¹ I asseverate, by your glorying, my brethren, which is mine in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that daily I die! ³² If as among men I have been thrown to beasts at Ephesus, what have I profited if the dead do not arise? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die...

⁵ But I will come to you when I shall have passed (round) from Makedunia: for I pass unto it, unto Makedunia. ⁶ And perhaps also I may remain with you, or I may winter with you, that you may lead me on to the place to which I shall go. ⁷ For I will not now see you as I pass the way; for I hope to abide a time with you, if my Lord permit me.

⁹ For a great door is opened to me, which is full of labours, and the opposers are many. ¹⁰ But if Timotheos come among you, see that he may be with you without fear; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I [do].

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

⁴ who consoleth us in all our afflictions, that we may be able to console those who are in all afflictions by that consolation by which we are consoled of Aloha. ⁵ For as the sufferings of the Meshiha abound in us, so, through the Meshiha, our consolation aboundeth also. ⁶ But if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your salvation that we be afflicted: and if we are consoled, it is that you may be consoled, that there may be in you perseverance to endure those sufferings which we also suffer.

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.

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

¹⁷ This then that I have purposed, have I purposed boastingly? or are they things of the flesh that I purpose, that I should have in them Yes, yes, or No, no? ¹⁸ Faithful is Aloha that our word with you was not Yes and No.

¹⁸ Faithful is Aloha that our word with you was not Yes and No. 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. ²⁰ For all the promises of Aloha in him, in the Meshiha, are Yes; for which by him we give Amen to the glory of Aloha.

²³ BUT I testify to Aloha on my soul that because I am sparing of you, I have not come to Kurinthos.

¹ But I have determined this in myself, that I will not with sorrow again come to you. ² For if I grieve you, who shall refresh me, but he whom I had grieved? ³ And I have written to you this very [epistle], lest when I come they grieve me, they who ought to refresh me. But I confide in you, that my joy is that of all of you.

⁵ But if any one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon [the whole of] you.

¹⁷ For we are not as the rest who commix the word of Aloha; but as in truth, and as from Aloha, before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak.

⁵ For we are not sufficient to think any thing as of ourselves; but our power is from Aloha,

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.

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

⁷ BUT we have this treasure in a vase of earth, that the greatness of the power might be from Aloha, and not from us. ⁸ But in every thing we are afflicted, yet not strangled; we are beaten, yet not condemned; ⁹ persecuted, yet not forsaken; cast down, yet we perish not. ¹⁰ In all time the dying of Jeshu in our bodies we bear, that the life also of Jeshu might in our bodies be revealed.

¹⁰ In all time the dying of Jeshu in our bodies we bear, that the life also of Jeshu might in our bodies be revealed. ¹¹ For if we, the living, unto death are delivered on account of Jeshu, so also will the life of Jeshu be revealed in this our body of death.

¹¹ For if we, the living, unto death are delivered on account of Jeshu, so also will the life of Jeshu be revealed in this our body of death. ¹² Now death in us worketh earnestly, but life in you. ¹³ We then also who have one spirit of faith, as it is written, I have believed, and therefore also spoken; we believe, therefore also we speak. ¹⁴ And we know that He who raised up our Lord Jeshu, will by Jeshu raise us also, and will present us with you unto himself. ¹⁵ For every thing is for your sake, that grace, abounding by many, may multiply praise to the glory of Aloha.

¹⁵ For every thing is for your sake, that grace, abounding by many, may multiply praise to the glory of 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. ¹⁷ For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us. ¹⁸ While we look not on these which are seen, but at those which are unseen. For the seen are of time, but the unseen are of eternity.

⁵ And he who prepareth us for this is Aloha, who hath given to us the earnest-pledge of his Spirit.

⁷ For by faith we walk, and not by sight.

¹¹ THEREFORE, because we know the terror of our Lord, we persuade men; and to Aloha we are manifest; but I hope that to your minds also we are manifest. ¹² For we commend [Or, praise; Meschabchinan.] not ourselves again to you, but we give you cause to be boastful of us to them who in appearance boast, but not in heart.

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

⁶ But Aloha, who consoleth the humble, consoled us by the coming of Titos; ⁷ and not only by his coming, but also by his refreshment wherewith he had been refreshed among you. For he told us of your love toward us, and of your lamentation and your zeal on our behalf. And when I heard, my joy was great.

⁹ but now I exercise joy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow hath brought you to repentance. For you were sorry towards Aloha; so that in nothing will you suffer loss from us.

¹³ For this cause we were consoled, and with our consolation more abundantly did we rejoice in the joy of Titos; because his spirit had been refreshed with you all.

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.

² For I know the goodness of your mind, of which I boasted of you to the Makedunoyee, that Akaia was ready since last year, and your zeal hath stirred up many.

¹¹ that in every thing you may be enriched in all simplicity, which worketh out through us, thanksgiving to Aloha. ¹² For, on account of the performance of this service, we not only supply the deficiency of the saints, but also cause many thanks givings to abound unto Aloha.

¹⁴ And prayer they offer on your behalf in great love, on account of the greatness of the grace of Aloha which is upon you.

² beseech of you, that when I come I may not be constrained with the confidence I have to be bold, as I think, over those men who imagine that we walk in the flesh.

² beseech of you, that when I come I may not be constrained with the confidence I have to be bold, as I think, over those men who imagine that we walk in the flesh.

² beseech of you, that when I come I may not be constrained with the confidence I have to be bold, as I think, over those men who imagine that we walk in the flesh. ³ For if we walk in the flesh, yet we war not according to the flesh.

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

⁶ And we are prepared to execute the punishment of those who obey not, when your obedience shall be fulfilled. 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. ⁸ For if I should boast somewhat more of the authority which our Lord hath given me, I should not blush; because for your edification he gave it to me, and not for your destruction. ⁹ But I insist not,[Or, But I connive.] that I may not be considered as one who would terrify you by my epistles. ¹⁰ For there are men who say, His epistles are weighty and forcible; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. ¹¹ But he who after this manner speaks, shall conclude that what we are by the word of our epistle when absent, so are we in the deed when we are present.

³ But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived 'Hava by his guile, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is toward the Meshiha.

¹⁰ The truth of the Meshiha is in me, that this boasting shall not be abolished respecting me in the regions of Akaia. ¹¹ Why? because I love you not? Aloha himself knoweth!

²³ if they are ministers of the Meshiha, - I speak with defectiveness of mind, - I exceed then! In labours I exceed them, in stripes I exceed them, in chains I exceed them, in deaths many times. ²⁴ From the Jihudoyee, five times, forty (stripes) wanting one have I devoured; ²⁵ three times with staves have I been beaten, once was I stoned, three times have I been in shipwreck, a day and a night without a ship have I been in the sea. ²⁶ In journeys many, in danger of rivers, in danger of robbers, in danger from my own race, in danger from the Gentiles; I have been in danger in cities, I have been in danger in the waste, in danger by sea, in danger from false brethren; ²⁷ in labour and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and in nakedness; ²⁸ besides the aboundings and the gathering which are upon me daily even my care which is for all the churches. ²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not? ³⁰ If I must boast in my infirmities, I will boast. ³¹ Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Blessed for ever and ever, knoweth that I lie not.

⁷ And that I might not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, there was delivered to me a stimulus of my flesh, an angel of Satana to buffet me, that I might not be exalted. ⁸ Concerning this three times I entreated of my Lord that it might be removed from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace sufficeth thee; for my power in weakness is perfected. Gladly therefore will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Meshiha may overshadow me. 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.

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.

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. ¹⁶ And, perhaps, (though) I did not burden you, yet (it may be said), as a crafty man with deceit I have robbed you. ¹⁷ By any other whom I have sent to you have I made prey of you? ¹⁸ Of Titos I requested, and sent with him the brethren.[The Polyglot editions read, " a brother."] In any thing has Titos made prey of you? Have we not walked in one spirit, and in the same steps? ¹⁹ DO you again consider that we apologize to you? Before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak; and all, my beloved, for the sake of your up-building. ²⁰ For I fear lest, when I come to you, I should not find you as I wish, but should find you what you would not wish: lest there be contention and envy, and wrath and angry talk, and accusations and murmurings, and pompousness and agitation:

² I have foretold you, and again I foretell you; as also twice while I was with you I told you, (so) now also being distant I write to those who have sinned, and to the rest of the others; that if I come again I will not spare.

⁶ But I trust you will know that we are not reprobate.

¹⁰ Therefore while distant I write these (things), that when I am come I may not act severely, according to the power which my Lord hath given me for your edification, and not for your destruction.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead,

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I should preach among the nations, immediately I did not disclose to flesh and to blood;

²⁰ But these which I write to you, behold, before Aloha, [I aver] that I lie not.

² But I went up by revelation; and I disclosed to them the gospel which I proclaim among the nations; and I showed it to those who were considered to be somewhat between myself and them, lest in vain I had run or should run.

¹⁶ But to Abraham was promised the promise, and to his seed. And he did not say to him, Unto thy seeds, as of many; but, To thy seed, as of one, him, (namely,) who is the Meshiha. ¹⁷ But I say this, that the covenant which was confirmed before by Aloha, in the Meshiha, the law which was after, four hundred and thirty years, cannot nullify, nor (can it) abolish the promise. ¹⁸ But if the inheritance was by the law, it could not have been by the promise; but Aloha gave it unto Abraham by promise.

²² But the scripture hath included all under sin, that the promise through faith of Jeshu Meshiha might be given to them who believe.

⁴ But let every man prove his work, and then in himself he shall exult, and not in others.

¹⁶ And they who this pathway accomplish, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of Aloha.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, to those who are in Ephesos, saints and believers in Jeshu Meshiha:

³ Blessed be He, Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, in the Meshiha;

⁶ that the glory of his grace might be glorified, that (grace) which he hath poured upon us by the hand of his Beloved:

¹² that we who first hoped in the Meshiha, should be to the honour of his glory. In whom you also heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your salvation; ¹³ and in whom you believed and were sealed with the Spirit of Holiness who was promised; ¹⁴ who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of those who are saved, and unto the praise of his majesty.

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

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

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

¹³ WHEREFORE I pray that I may not weary in my affliction, which is on your account, for this is your glory;

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been sealed unto the day of redemption.

¹⁴ Stand, therefore, with your loins strengthened with the truth, and wear the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁴ Stand, therefore, with your loins strengthened with the truth, and wear the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and let your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 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;

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

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

¹ PAULOS and Timotheus, servants of Jeshu the Meshiha, to all the saints who are in Jeshu Meshiha at Philipos, with the presbyters and deacons. ² Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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

⁶ because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun good workings in you will himself make perfect until the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁷ For so it is right for me to think concerning you all, because you are laid up in my heart; and in my bonds, and in the defence of the truth of the gospel, you are partakers with me in grace. ⁸ For Aloha is my witness how I love you with the bowels of Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁰ that you may distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha,

¹⁴ And a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha.

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; ²⁰ even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

²⁵ For I know this confidently, that I am to remain and tarry for your joy and for the increase of your faith: ²⁶ that when I come again to you, your glorying which is in Jeshu Meshiha alone shall abound in me.

²⁶ that when I come again to you, your glorying which is in Jeshu Meshiha alone shall abound in me.

¹ IF, therefore, you have consolation in the Meshiha, and if there be comfort in love,* and if communion of the Spirit, and if compassions and mercies, [* Ven mamale belebo bachubo, " If there be the speaking of the heart in love." Mamale belebo, (like the Hebrew, Dibber al leb,) " the speaking of, or into, the heart," is an idiom for giving consolation. Compare John 11:19, 31.]

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

¹⁶ to be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose.

¹⁹ But I hope in our Lord Jeshu to send Timotheos to you soon, that I also may have quietness when I learn concerning you. ²⁰ For I have no other who is so as my (own) soul, who will diligently take care for yours. ²¹ For all are seeking what is theirs, and not what is of Jeshu Meshiha. ²² But the proof of this [evangelist] you know, that as a son with his father, so hath he wrought with me in the gospel. Him, therefore,

¹⁰ that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death,

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and tenderly-regarded, my joy and my crown, so stand in our Lord, my beloved.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu the Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and the brother Timotheos, ² to those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.

² to those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.

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

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;

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 praying also for us, that Aloha may open to us the gate of the word, to speak the mystery of the Meshiha, for the sake of which I am bound,

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.

³ and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁴ For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of Aloha,

⁷ and became an example to all the believers who are in Makedunia and in Akaia. ⁸ For from you was made to be heard the word of our Lord, not only in Makedunia and in Akaia, but in every place your faith which is in Aloha was made to be heard, so that we have no need to say of you any thing.

⁵ For never have we used flattering speech, as you know, nor for an occasion of covetousness, Aloha witnesseth.

¹⁰ You witness and Aloha, how we preached to you the gospel of Aloha, purely and justly, and were without blame with all the faithful.

¹⁸ and have wished to come to you (even) I, Paulos, one time and two; but Satana hindered me. ¹⁹ For what is our hope and our joy, and the crown of our glorying, but you, before our Lord Jeshu at his coming? ²⁰ For you are our glory and our joy.

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

¹⁸ Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

¹¹ Wherefore comfort one another, and edify one another, as also you do.

²³ But the God of peace himself will sanctify perfectly all of you; and your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body will he keep without fault, to the coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

²⁵ My brethren, pray for us.

¹ PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee, which is in Aloha our Father, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ² Grace be with you, and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁴ as that we also boast of you in the churches of Aloha, of your faith and of your patience, in all your persecution and your affliction which you endure; ⁵ for a demonstration of the just judgment of Aloha, that you may be [seen to be] worthy of his kingdom, for the sake of which you suffer; ⁶ and whether it is (not) righteous to render afflictions to them who afflict you. ⁷ And you who are afflicted will he save [Or, make alive.] with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from heaven, with the host [Or, force; chailo, " powerful array."] of his angels,

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

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.

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

¹⁷ will comfort your hearts, and establish in every word and in every work of good.

¹ Henceforth, my brethren, pray for us, that the word of our Lord may run and be glorified in every place, as among you.

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

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

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; ²⁰ as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.

²⁰ as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.

¹⁰ for on this account we labour and are reproached, because we hope in Aloha the Living, who is the Saviour of all men, and especially of the believers.

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

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 and if we endure, we shall also reign with him; but, if we deny him, he also will deny us!

¹⁹ But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

²⁴ But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive,[Fight.] but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering, ²⁵ that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth, ²⁶ and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.

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.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;

⁷ But in every thing show thyself the example in all good works, and in doctrine let there be with thee sound speech

³ Grace be with thee, and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁶ (I have prayed) that there may be communication of thy faith (in) yielding fruits, in works and in the (manifestation of the) knowledge of all good which thou hast in Jeshu Meshiha.

²² But at once also prepare me a house of lodging, for I hope through your prayers I shall be given to you.

¹¹ They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old, and as a garment thou shalt fold them up,

¹² and that it be not cut off from you,[Tethkatao lecun. (Katao, abscidit. Ethpaal, abscissus est.)] but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience [Prolongedness of spirit.] have become heirs of the promise. ¹³ For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self, ¹⁴ and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. ¹⁵ And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath. ¹⁷ On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath: 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,

⁶ But he who is not written in their genealogies took tithes from ABRAHAM, and blessed him who had received the promise.

¹⁰ but (have consisted) in meat and drink only, and in various kinds of baptism, being institutions of the flesh appointed until the time of setting right. ¹¹ BUT the Meshiha who hath come was a High Priest of good things which he wrought out, and hath entered into the great and perfect tabernacle (which was) not made with hands, nor made from these creatures. ¹² Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh, 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? 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.

¹³ In faith died these all, not having gotten their promise, but from afar had beheld it, and exulted in it, and confessed that strangers they were, and sojourners in the earth.

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.]

³⁹ And these all, of whom there hath been (such) a testimony concerning their faith, received not the promise; ⁴⁰ because Aloha had afore contemplated for our help, that without us they should not be made perfect.

¹⁰ For they, during a little time, as they willed, chastised us; but Aloha for our advantage, that we might partake of his holiness. ¹¹ For all chastisement, in its time, is not considered as joy, but as grief; but, in the end, the fruit of peace and righteousness it giveth unto them who with it have been exercised. ¹² WHEREFORE your relaxed hands and your trembling knees make strong;

⁸ Jeshu Meshiha is yesterday, and to-day, and for ever.

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

²³ But know that our brother Timotheos is released; and if he come soon, with him I will see you.

² All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various. ³ For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience; ⁴ but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient.

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.

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. ¹⁸ But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.

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.

¹² But before every thing, my brethren, swear not; by heaven nor by earth, nor with any other oath; but let your word be Yes, yes, and No, no, that you be not bound under condemnation.

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. ¹⁷ Elia also was a man of suffering, as we; and he prayed that the rain should not fall upon the earth, and it fell not (for) three years and six months. ¹⁸ And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.

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,

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.

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;

³ not as lords of the flock, but that you may be to them a goodly example;

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.

¹⁷ For when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted;

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.

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.

²⁰ And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.

²⁴ And you, what you have heard from the first, let it continue with you. For, if what you have heard from the first continue with you, you also will continue in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life.

²⁷ And you, also, if the anointing continue with you which you have received from him, have not need that a man should teach you; but as the anointing that is from Aloha itself teacheth you concerning every thing, and is true, neither is falsity in it; and as it hath taught you, continue in it.

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! 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.

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

²⁰ And we know that the Son of Aloha hath come, and hath given us knowledge to know the truth, and to be in him in the truth, in his Son Jeshu the Meshiha. This is Aloha the true, and the life which is eternal.

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.

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.

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.

¹¹ What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia,[Thus spelt in the Syriac copies.] and at Laodikia.

¹⁷ He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone,* and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth. [* Chushbono, rationale. Query, a breastplate?] ¹⁸ And to the angel and church* which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined brass. [* So SCHAFF'S text, but not WALTON'S.]

⁷ And to the angel of the church which is in Philadelphia write: These saith the Holy, the True, who hath the key of David; who openeth and no man shutteth,9 and who shutteth [Lit. holdeth.] and no man openeth.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church which is in Ladikia write: These saith the Amen, the Witness, the faithful, the true, the Head of the creation of Aloha.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold, proved by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness be not seen; and lave with collyrium thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

¹² saying, Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and might, and power, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.

⁴ And it was told them, that they should not hurt the herbage of the earth, nor any green (thing), nor any tree, but only those men who had not the seal of Aloha upon their foreheads.
