2 Corinthians 4 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us. ² But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha. ³ But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid: ⁴ (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:

⁷ To them who seek, in perseverance of good works, glory and honour and incorruption, he giveth eternal life;

¹⁶ in the day when Aloha judgeth the secrets of men according to my gospel by Jeshu Meshiha.

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.

⁵ For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be.

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

²⁴ For in hope we live: but hope that is seen is not hope; for if we see it, why hope we for it? ²⁵ But if we hope for that which is not seen, in patience we wait.

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.

³⁴ Who condemneth? The Meshiha hath died and arisen, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and prayeth for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Meshiha? Affliction, or sorrow, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thee all the day long are we killed, we are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter.

³⁶ As it is written: For thee all the day long are we killed, we are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us.

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

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

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

¹ WE then, the strong, are obligated to bear up the infirmities of the weak, and not ourselves to please. ² But let every one of us please his neighbour in good things as unto edification.

¹⁷ I have, then, exultation in Jeshu Meshiha with Aloha. ¹⁸ For I dare not speak any thing which the Meshiha hath not done by my hands, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and in deeds,

¹³ Is the Meshiha divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or in the name of Paulos were you baptized? ¹⁴ I thank Aloha that no man of you I have baptized, but only Krispos and Gaios; ¹⁵ lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized.

¹⁸ FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha.

²³ but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness;

²⁸ and he hath chosen those of low birth [Or, mean family.] in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are;

² And I considered myself among you as not knowing any thing unless Jeshu Meshiha, and him also as crucified. ³ And I in much fear and trembling was with you. ⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasion of the words of wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power; ⁵ that your faith might not be through the wisdom of men, but through the power of Aloha.

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

⁵ For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him? ⁶ I have planted, and Apollo watered, but Aloha made to increase.

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

⁵ Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha.

⁹ But I consider that us, the apostles, Aloha hath set last, as unto death, to be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men, ¹⁰ We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased.

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.]

¹⁴ And Aloha hath raised up our Lord, and us will raise by his power.

²⁵ BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful.

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

¹⁹ For while free of all men, to all men I subject myself, that the many I may gain. ²⁰ And I become with the Jihudoyee as a Jihudoya, that the Jihudoyee I may gain; and with them who are under the law, I become as one under the law, that them who are under the law I may gain; ²¹ and to those who have not the law I become as one without law, while I am not unto Aloha without law, but in the law of the Meshiha, that them also who have not law I may gain. ²² I become with the weak as weak, that the weak I may gain. To all men all become I, that every man I may save. ²³ But this I do that I may be a participator in the gospel.

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.

²⁰ No: but that which the Heathens sacrifice, unto demons they sacrifice, and not unto Aloha. But I would not that you be participators with demons!

³³ As also I in every thing please all men, not seeking what is expedient for myself, but what is expedient for the many, that they may be saved.

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

⁹ and to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

²⁰ BUT now hath the Meshiha risen from among the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who sleep. ²¹ And as by man was death, so also by man is the life of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all men die, so also in the Meshiha are all made alive:

³¹ I asseverate, by your glorying, my brethren, which is mine in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that daily I die!

⁴⁷ The first man who is of the earth is dust, the second man the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁹ And as we have worn the likeness of him who was dust, so shall we wear the likeness of him who is from heaven.

⁵³ For this which is corruptible shall put on incorruption, and likewise (this) which dieth shall put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this which is corruptible shall put on incorruptibleness, and this which dieth, immortality, then shall be done that word which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory!

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my brethren, my beloved, be steadfast, be not moved, but be abounding in all time in the work of the Lord, while you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

¹² WHEN, in preaching the gospel of the Meshiha, I had come to Troas, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

¹⁵ For we are a fragrant perfume in the Meshiha unto Aloha in those who are saved, and in those who perish. ¹⁶ To these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal? 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, ⁶ who hath made us fit to be ministers of the new covenant, not in the writing, but in the spirit. For the writing killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive.

⁶ who hath made us fit to be ministers of the new covenant, not in the writing, but in the spirit. For the writing killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive.

⁸ how much more then doth not the ministry Of the Spirit excel in glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more doth not the ministry of justification excel in glory?

¹¹ For if that which was abolished was with glory, how much more shall that which endureth be with glory? ¹² Therefore because we have this hope, we speak the more boldly,

¹⁴ But they are blinded in their minds unto this day. For when the old covenant is read, that very veil standeth upon them, nor is it apparent (to them) that in the Meshiha it hath been abolished.

¹⁸ But we all with disclosed [Or, revealed.] faces behold the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, and into the resemblance of it are changed from brightness to brightness, as by the Lord the Spirit.

¹ ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us.

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

⁶ For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha.

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

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.

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.

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. ² For concerning this also we groan, and long to put on our house which is from heaven, ³ if, when that we have clothed, we may not be found naked. ⁴ For now while we are in this house, we groan from the weight of it: yet are we not willing to cast it off, but to be clothed upon of it, that its mortality might be swallowed up in life.

⁴ For now while we are in this house, we groan from the weight of it: yet are we not willing to cast it off, but to be clothed upon of it, that its mortality might be swallowed up in life.

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.

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

¹⁸ and every thing hath become new from Aloha, who hath reconciled us to himself in the Meshiha, and given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

⁴ but in every thing will we demonstrate ourselves that we are the ministers of Aloha; by much patience, by afflictions,

⁴ but in every thing will we demonstrate ourselves that we are the ministers of Aloha; by much patience, by afflictions, ⁵ by necessity, by imprisonments, by stripes, by chains, by tumults, by labour, by watching, by fasting, ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by prolonging the mind, by benignity, by the Spirit of Holiness, by love without deceit, ⁷ by the doctrine of truth, by the power of Aloha, by the arms of righteousness for the right hand and for the left,

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet many making rich; as having nothing, yet possessing every thing.

⁵ When, also, we had come into Makedunia, no repose had we for our body, but in every thing were we afflicted; without fighting, and within, fear. ⁶ But Aloha, who consoleth the humble, consoled us by the coming of Titos;

¹⁴ Because in whatever I had boasted to him concerning you, I have not been ashamed; but, as of every thing we had spoken truth with you, so also our boasting unto Titos hath been found in truth.

¹⁹ who hath, moreover, been chosen by the churches to go forth with us with this bounty which is ministered by us to the glory of Aloha himself, and unto [the proof of] our cordiality.

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.

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

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

⁶ For if I am rude in my speech, I yet am not in my knowledge; but in every thing we are manifest among you.

¹³ For these are apostles of falsehood and workers of deceits, assimilating themselves to the apostles of the Meshiha. ¹⁴ Nor in this may we wonder, if Satana himself be transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Nor is it a great thing if his ministers also are transformed into ministers of righteousness;-whose end will be according to their works.

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.

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;

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.

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;

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;

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.

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.

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.

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

⁹ For we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong: but this also we pray, that you may be perfect.

²⁴ And in me they glorified Aloha.

¹³ For you know that in infirmity of my flesh I preached to you at the first. ¹⁴ And the temptation of my flesh you did not despise nor execrate; but as an angel of Aloha you received me, and as of Jeshu Meshiha.

¹³ BUT you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.

⁹ And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us.

¹⁷ Henceforth upon me let no man throw a burden; for the signatures of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in my body I bear.

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,

¹⁹ and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints, and what is the inheritance of his power in us who believe, according to the operation of the might of his power, ²⁰ which he wrought in the Meshiha, and raised him from among the dead, and set him at his right hand in heaven,

² in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age,[Olmoyutheh dolmo hono.] and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth [D'methchaphto.] in the sons of disobedience;

⁵ while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,

⁸ For by his grace are we saved through faith, and this was not of you, but is the gift of Aloha, ⁹ not of works, that no man should glory.

⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of Aloha, which he hath given me by the operation of his power. 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;

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;

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

¹⁶ that he would give to you, according to the riches of his glory, with power to be confirmed by his Spirit in your interior man;

²⁰ But to Him who is able with power beyond all to do for us above what we ask or conceive, according to his power which worketh in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in his church, by Jeshu Meshiha, in all ages, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ and that we be no [more] children, agitated and altered by every wind [Or, spirit.] of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce,

²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

⁸ For you were before darkness, but now you are light in our Lord. As the sons of light, then, so walk.

¹² For that which in secrecy they do it is execrable even to mention.

²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless.

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.

¹⁵ Some preach from envy and contention, but some from good-will, and in the love of the 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;

⁶ who, when he was in the form of Aloha, considered this not to be robbery, (this, namely,) that he was the co-equal of Aloha:

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

¹⁷ But, also, [if I should be] offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all;

³⁰ because for the work of the Meshiha he had come nigh unto death, and was disregardful of his life, that he might accomplish that which you had wanted in the service which concerned me.

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, ¹¹ that any how [Dalmo.] I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among the dead.

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

¹⁵ who is the image of Aloha the unseen,[Or, Aloha who is not seen.] and the first-born of all the creatures.

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

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

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; ²⁸ whom we proclaim, and (concerning whom) we teach and inform every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Jeshu Meshiha;

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

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

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

¹⁶ whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha. ¹⁷ And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

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;

³ For our exhortation was not from deceit, nor from uncleanness, nor from guile; ⁴ but as approved of Aloha to be intrusted with his gospel, so speaking as not to please men, but Aloha who trieth our hearts. ⁵ For never have we used flattering speech, as you know, nor for an occasion of covetousness, Aloha witnesseth.

⁵ For never have we used flattering speech, as you know, nor for an occasion of covetousness, Aloha witnesseth. ⁶ Neither have we sought glory from men, either from you or from others, though we could have been honoured ones, as the apostles of the Meshiha;

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.

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;

⁶ and whether it is (not) righteous to render afflictions to them who afflict you.

⁹ For the coming of that (wicked one) is the working of Satana, with all power, and (with) signs and false miracles, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception which is done in them who perish, because they have not received the love of the truth by which they might have been saved. ¹¹ Wherefore Aloha will send them the working of deception, that they will believe the lie,

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,

¹³ But you, my brethren, be not weary in doing what is good.

¹¹ of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.

¹³ me, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

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. ¹¹ Faithful is the word: for if we be dead with him, with him also we shall live;

²⁰ But in a great house there are not vessels of gold only or of silver, but also of wood, also of clay: of them (some are) to honour, and of them (some) to dishonour.

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

¹³ while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha;

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness,

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

¹ Now FAITH is the persuasion concerning things which are in hope, as if they were in reality,[In act.] and a revelation of those which are not seen.

¹ Now FAITH is the persuasion concerning things which are in hope, as if they were in reality,[In act.] and a revelation of those which are not seen. ² And for this was the testimony concerning the elders. ³ For by faith we perceive that the worlds were ordained by the word of Aloha, and (how) these (things) which are seen were from those which are not seen. ⁴ By faith Habel offered a sacrifice which was far better than that of Koen unto Aloha; and because of it there is respecting him a testimony that he was righteous; and Aloha gave witness concerning his oblation; and on account thereof also while dead he is speaking. ⁵ Through faith Hanak was translated,[Or, changed.] and did not taste death; nor was he found, because Aloha had translated him: for before that he would translate him, there was respecting him the testimony that he pleased Aloha. ⁶ But without faith it is not possible for man to please Aloha; for he who draweth near unto Aloha must believe that he is, and that of those who seek him he will be the rewarder. ⁷ By faith Nuch, when spoken with upon those things which had not been seen, feared, and made him the ark for the salvation of his family; [The sons of his house.] by which he condemned the world, and was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ BY faith Abraham, when he was called, heard that he was to go forth to a place which he should receive for an inheritance; and he went out, while he knew not whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he was a sojourner in the land that was promised to him, as in an alien state, and dwelt in tabernacles with Ishok and Jakub, sons of the inheritance which was his by the promise: ¹⁰ for he was expecting the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Aloha. ¹¹ By faith Saro, who was barren, received strength to conceive seed, and, which (thing) was not in the time of her years, gave birth (to a son); because she was sure that he who had promised to her was faithful. ¹² Therefore from one who had failed from old age, were there begotten multitudes as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the shores of the sea, which have no number. 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.

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. ¹⁴ For they who these things say, make manifest that their city they are seeking. ¹⁵ But if that city from which they had gone out they desired, they had opportunity to return and go to it. ¹⁶ But now it is known that a better (one) than that they desired; that (namely) which is in heaven. Wherefore Aloha was not ashamed their God to be called; for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham offered Ishok in his temptation and his only-born he lifted upon the altar, even him whom he had received by the promise: ¹⁸ for it had been said to him, In Ishok shall be called to thee the seed. 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.] ²⁰ By faith in that which was to come, Ishok blessed Jakub and Isu. ²¹ By faith, when dying, Jakub blessed each of the sons of Jauseph; and worshipped upon the head of his staff. ²² By faith Jauseph, when dying, was mindful of the going forth of the sons of Israel,[The B'nai-Isroel.] and commanded concerning his bones. ²³ BY faith the parents of Musha concealed him when he had been born three months, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they feared not the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Musha, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pherun; ²⁵ and chose to himself to be in affliction with the people of Aloha, and not for a little time to delight (himself) in sin;

²⁵ and chose to himself to be in affliction with the people of Aloha, and not for a little time to delight (himself) in sin; ²⁶ and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward.

²⁶ and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible.

²⁷ By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible. ²⁸ By faith they performed the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he might not come near, - he, who was destroying the first-born. ²⁹ By faith they traversed the sea of Sooph, as those who (march) upon dry land; but the Metsroyee were swallowed up in it, when they had dared to enter it. ³⁰ By faith the ramparts of Jirichu fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith Rachob the harlot perished not with those who would not hearken, because she had received the explorers in peace. ³² WHAT shall I yet say? for (too) brief is the time for me to tell of Gedhun, and of Borok, and of Shemshun, and of Nephtoch, and of David, and of Shomuel, and of the rest of the prophets; ³³ they who through faith conquered kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ and quenched the powers of fire, and were delivered from the edge [Mouth of the sword.] of the sword, and were made strong from infirmities, and became valiant in battle, and overthrew the camps of the adversaries. ³⁵ And they gave unto women their sons by the resurrection of the dead; and others in torments died, nor hoped to be delivered, that the better resurrection they might have. ³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up, ³⁷ others were stoned, others divided, others died by the edge of the sword, others wandered about clothed with skins of sheep and of goats, necessitous, afflicted, and driven out. ³⁸ Men, of whom the world was not worthy, became as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens, and in caverns of the earth. 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.

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

³ CONSIDER, therefore, how much he endured from sinners who were adversaries to themselves, that ye weary not, nor fail in your souls.

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.

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.]

¹⁵ By him,[By his hand.] therefore, let us offer up at all time unto Aloha the sacrifices of praise, which are the fruits of the lips which give thanks to his name. ¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.

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.

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

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.

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: ¹⁰ those who before were not reputed a people, but now the people of Aloha; upon whom also mercies were not; but now, mercies are poured upon you.

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.

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. ¹² My beloved, be not amazed at the temptations which you have, as that something strange happeneth to you, because for your probation they have been; 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.

¹³ but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult. ¹⁴ And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you.

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.

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

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

¹⁹ We have that which is sure also, the word of prophecy; that into which you do well to look, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the sun arise in your hearts.

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.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, that which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed, and the true light beginneth to appear.

¹⁶ For every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever.

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.

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

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

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

¹⁷ And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;

³ And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.

⁸ And these four living-ones, each of them, had six wings round about; and within were full of eyes; and they rest not day and night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who wast, and art, and art to come. ⁹ And when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks* unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever and ever, [* More strictly, (kubol-taibutho,) acceptance of thanks, that is, as by the divine hand.] ¹⁰ the four and twenty presbyters fell before Him who sitteth upon the throne, and worshipped Him who liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God the Holy One, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all, and by thy hand they are, and through thy will they were and are created.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living-ones and the twenty and four presbyters fell down before the Lamb, having each of them an harp, and vials of gold full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. ¹⁰ And thou hast made them [Enun.] to our God kings and priests, and reigning upon the earth. ¹¹ And I saw and heard as the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living-ones, and the presbyters, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹² which said with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, 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. ¹⁴ And the four living-ones said, Amen! And the presbyters fell, and worshipped.

⁴ And the four-and-twenty presbyters fell, and the four living-ones, and worshipped Aloha who sitteth upon the throne, saying, Amen, Halleluia! ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his servants, and they who fear him, small and great. ⁶ And I heard as the voice of a great host, as the voice of many waters, as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Halleluia, for the Lord our God the Omnipotent reigneth!

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; ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut and sealed over him, that he should no more seduce the nations, until the thousand years be completed: but after them he will be loosed a little time.
