⁹ Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. ¹⁰ Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust. ¹¹ If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?

¹¹ If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide? ¹² And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?

¹² And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you? ¹³ No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.

And also the dogs came and licked his wounds. ²² Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried. ²³ And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.

²⁸ for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment. ²⁹ Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent. ³¹ Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.

⁴ And he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,

⁶ And our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.

¹¹ and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican.

³⁵ And as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side,[Hand of the way.] and begging. ³⁶ And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this. ³⁷ They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth. ³⁸ And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me! ³⁹ And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me! ⁴⁰ And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him ⁴¹ and said to him, What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see. ⁴² And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee. ⁴³ And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin,* and said to them, Trade till I come. [* The mani (Heb. maneh) is said to have been equal to sixty shekels, or nine pounds English.] ¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We are not willing that this should reign over us. ¹⁵ And having received the kingdom and returned, he spake to call to him those servants to whom he had given the silver, that he might know how every one of them had traded. ¹⁶ And the first came and said, My lord, thy mani ten minin hath gained. ¹⁷ He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns.

¹⁷ He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came and said, My lord, thy mani five minin hath made. ¹⁹ He saith also to this, Thou also shalt have rule over five towns. ²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin.

²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin. ²¹ For I feared thee, because thou art a hard man, taking up what thou hadst not laid down, and reaping what thou sowedst not. ²² He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not: ²³ why (then) gavest thou not my silver upon the table, that when I came I might require it with its increase? ²⁴ And to those who stood before him he said, Take from him the mani, and give to him who hath the ten minin. ²⁵ They say to him, Our lord, he hath ten minin. ²⁶ He saith to them, I tell you, that to every one who hath (it) shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken.

³⁵ But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.

²⁷ And, beginning from Musha and all the prophets, he explained to them concerning himself from all the scriptures.

⁴⁵ Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.

²⁵ and needed not that any should testify to him concerning any man, because he knew what is in man.

³⁶ He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him.

¹⁰ Jeshu answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of Aloha, and who He is who hath said to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he had given thee living waters.

¹⁴ but every one who shall drink of the waters that I will give him shall never thirst; but those waters that I shall give him shall be in him a fountain of waters, that shall spring forth to the life of eternity.

³⁹ Investigate the scriptures; for in them you think you have the life that is eternal, and they testify of me. ⁴⁰ And you will not come to me that the life that is eternal you might have. ⁴¹ Glory from the sons of men I receive not. ⁴² But I know you, that the love of Aloha is not in you. ⁴³ I have come in the name of my Father, and you have not received me. If another should come in his own name, him you would receive. ⁴⁴ How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not? ⁴⁵ How think you that I will accuse you before the Father? There is one who accuseth you, Musha himself, in whom you hope. ⁴⁶ For if in Musha you had believed, you would also have believed in me; for Musha of me hath written. ⁴⁷ But if his writings you believe not, how my words will you believe?

¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that abound, that nothing be lost;

³⁷ BUT in the great day, which was the last of the feast, stood Jeshu and cried, and said, If (any) man thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³³ They say to him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never service to man have we performed; how sayest thou that we shall be sons of freedom? ³⁴ Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin. ³⁵ And the servant abideth not for ever in the house, but the Son for ever abideth. ³⁶ If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom. ³⁷ I know that you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur. [Or, acquiesce.] ³⁸ That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do. ³⁹ They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jeshu saith to them, If you were the sons of Abraham, the works of Abraham you would do.

⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead; and than the prophets, who are dead? What makest thou thyself? ⁵⁴ Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God. ⁵⁵ But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words. ⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.

⁸ But his neighbours, and they who had seen (him) aforetime as he begged, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?

¹ BUT a certain man was sick, Loozar, of the village Bethania: (he was) the brother of Mariam and of Martha.

⁴³ And when he had said these (words), he cried with a high voice, Loozar, come without! ⁴⁴ And he, the dead, came forth, his hands and his feet being bound with bandages, and his face in a linen cloth. Jeshu saith to them, Release him, and let (him) go. ⁴⁵ And many of the Jihudoyee who came with Mariam, when they saw the thing which Jeshu did, believed on him. ⁴⁶ And some of them went to the Pharishee, and told them every thing that Jeshu had done. ⁴⁷ AND the chief priests and Pharishee assembled, and said, What shall we do? because this man doeth many signs; ⁴⁸ and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people.

⁴⁸ and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people. ⁴⁹ But one of them, whose name was Kaiapha, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them, You know not any thing, ⁵⁰ nor reason that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not all the people perish. ⁵¹ But this from himself he spake not, but because he was high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jeshu should die for the people, ⁵² and not only for (that) people, but also that the children of Aloha who are dispersed he should gather into one. ⁵³ And from that day they determined to kill him.

⁶ But this he said, not because for the poor he had care, but because he was a thief, and the purse was with him, and whatever fell into it he carried.

¹⁰ But the chief priests were minded to slay Loozar also, ¹¹ because many of the Jihudoyee on account of him had gone and believed in Jeshu.

¹⁹ But the Pharishee said one to another, See you that you do not profit any thing! For, behold, the whole world is gone after him.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that the sons of light you may become. These spake Jeshu, and went (and) concealed himself from them.

² And when was the supper, Satana had cast it into the heart of Jihuda bar Shemun Scarjuta to betray him.

²³ Now there was of his disciples one who reclined on his bosom; he whom Jeshu loved.

²⁷ Then after the bread Satana entered into him. And Jeshu said to him, What thou doest, do with speed!

³³ These have I said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but be of heart, I have conquered the world.

¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

¹⁸ This is he who obtained the field with the wages of sin, and fell upon his face on the ground, and was severed in his middle, and all his bowels were shed forth.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified to them and entreated of them, saying, Save (yourselves) from this perverse generation.

² behold a certain man lame from the womb of his mother, (whom) they carried, who were used to bring and set at the gate of the temple which is called the Beautiful, to beg alms of those who entered into the temple.

¹⁸ and Aloha, according to that which he had before proclaimed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Meshiha should suffer, hath fulfilled this.

²⁴ And the prophets, all of them from Shamuel and they who were after him, spake and proclaimed concerning these days. ²⁵ You are the sons of the prophets; and the covenant which Aloha set with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, In thy seed shall be blessed all the generations of the earth,

⁶ but arise, go into Darmsuk, and there it will be spoken with thee concerning what thou must do.

⁴ And he beheld him, and feared, and said, What, my Lord? And the angel said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms have ascended for a memorial before Aloha.

³¹ And he said to me, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms have made memorial before Aloha.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha.

⁸ And Aloha, who knoweth what is in the hearts, testified of them, and gave them the Spirit of Holiness, as to us.

²¹ For Musha from former generations in all cities hath had preachers in the synagogues who on all shabaths read him.

¹¹ for more noble[Or, free.] were those Jihudoyee who were there than those Jihudoyee who were in Thessalonika; and they heard from them the word daily with joy, while they decided from the scriptures whether these things were so. ¹² And many of them believed, and so also of the Javnoyee, men many, and distinguished women.

⁸ And Paulos entered the synagogue, and discoursed boldly three months, and persuaded concerning the kingdom of Aloha.

²³ Nevertheless, the Spirit of Holiness in every city testifieth to me and saith, that bonds and afflictions are for me.

²⁸ King Agripos said to him, (Within) a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.

²³ AND they appointed him a day; and many assembled and came where he sojourned; and he explained to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha, testifying and persuading them concerning Jeshu, from the law of Musha and from the prophets, from the morning until the evening.

²⁰ Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; for from the law sin is known.

³¹ Do we therefore the law abolish by faith? Not so, but the law itself we establish.

¹² and the father of the circumcision, not of them who are of the circumcision only, but of them who pursue [Or, accomplish, fulfil.] the footsteps of the faith of uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

¹⁶ Know you not, that to whomsoever you prepare yourselves to obey him unto service, of him you are the servants, of him whom you obey; whether of sin, or of the hearing of the ear of righteousness? ¹⁷ But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered. ¹⁸ And when you were made free from sin, you became obedient to righteousness. ¹⁹ As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness. ²⁰ For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. ²¹ And what product [Odsho.] had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death. ²² And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, [Phiree.] of which the end is the life of eternity.

⁵ For they who are in the flesh, of that flesh are mindful; and they who are of the Spirit, of that Spirit are mindful. ⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit life and peace. ⁷ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Aloha; for to the law of Aloha it is not subject, for it cannot be;

⁷ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Aloha; for to the law of Aloha it is not subject, for it cannot be; ⁸ and they who are in the flesh cannot please Aloha.

⁷ neither also are they who are of the seed of Abraham all children; because it was said, In Ishok shall be called unto thee the seed: ⁸ but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.

¹² Therefore, every one of us the answer for himself shall give unto Aloha.

¹¹ For they of the house of Kloë have sent to me concerning you, my brethren, that there are contentions among you.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you supposeth himself wise in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

¹ Thus let us be accounted of you as ministers of the Meshiha, and stewards of the mysteries of Aloha. ² So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful.

² So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful.

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.

¹¹ Until this hour we hunger and thirst, we are naked and beaten and have no fixed dwelling;

⁴ For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife.

¹⁰ But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not. ¹¹ Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife. ¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

⁵⁵ Where is thy sting, Death? and where is thy victory Shiul?

³ But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid:

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

¹⁰ For we are all to stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha, that every man may be recompensed in his body (for) that which is done in it, whether of good or of evil. 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, 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. ¹³ For on account of the proof of this service we glorify Aloha, because you are subject to the confession of the gospel of Meshiha, and you have communicated in simplicity with them and with every man. 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. ¹⁵ But thanks to Aloha over his gift which is unspeakable.

²⁷ in labour and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and in nakedness;

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

¹⁹ they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth.

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

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

⁶ And that you dare not transgress, and defraud the one man his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as we have also before told you and testified.

⁵ For all of you are sons of light, and sons of the day; and are not sons of the night, nor sons of darkness.

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

⁸ when he executeth the punishment, with burning of fire, on them who have not known Aloha, and on them who have not acknowledged the gospel of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to show his wonders in his faithful ones, that our testimony that was concerning you may be believed in that day.

¹¹ For we hear that there are some among you who walk wickedly, and nothing work, unless vain things.

¹⁴ Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee with prophecy, and the hand-laying [Sim-yado.] of the presbytery.

²⁴ THERE are men whose sins are known, and they precede them to the place of judgment; and there are whose (sins) go after them.

⁹ But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows.

¹⁷ The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; ¹⁸ and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate, ¹⁹ and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.

¹⁶ Our Lord give mercies to the house of Onesiphoros, who many times hath refreshed me, and of the chains of my bonds hath not been ashamed. ¹⁷ But when also he came to Ruma, with diligence he sought me, and found me. ¹⁸ Our Lord grant that he may find mercies with our Lord in that day: and how he ministered to me in Ephesos thou especially knowest.

² and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious,

¹⁵ and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁶ FOR all scripture which from the Spirit is written, is profitable for doctrine, and for rebuke, and for correction, and for instruction [Or, discipline.] which is in righteousness: ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.

⁷ For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains.

¹⁰ but let them show their good-trustiness [Shararhun tobo.] in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour.

¹⁴ Are not all they spirits of ministration, who (are) sent forth in service on behalf of those who are hereafter to inherit salvation?

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,

² who was faithful to him who made him, as (was) Musha in all his house.

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;

³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up,

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.

⁹ But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation,

¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.

¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses. 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.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who love him?

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

²¹ Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar? ²² Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected, ²³ and the scripture was accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called. ²⁴ Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ So also Rachab the harlot, was she not by works justified when she received the spies, and by another way sent them forth?

⁶ and the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire.

¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons.

³ you ask and receive not, because you ask wickedly, as that you may cherish your lusts. ⁴ Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is enmity with Aloha? He, therefore, who willeth to be the friend of this world, hath become the enemy of Aloha.

¹ O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you.

¹ O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you. ² Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth,

² Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth, ³ and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days!

³ and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days! ⁴ Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.

⁴ Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended. ⁵ For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.

⁵ For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you. ⁷ BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;

⁴ and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven, ⁵ while you are kept by the power of Aloha and through faith, unto the salvation which is prepared to be revealed in the last times;

²⁵ but the word of our God abideth for ever; and this is that word which is preached unto you.

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

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

⁴ but adorn yourselves in the hidden man of the heart, with the spirit of gentleness which perisheth not, the ornament of excellence before Aloha.

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

¹⁰ And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha.

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.

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. ²⁰ While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution [Or, every prophecy the solution of its scripture is not. Cul nebiutho shorio dacthobo diloh lo hovo.] is not. ²¹ For not by the will of man came any prophecy, but while by the Holy Spirit led spake the holy men of God.

⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain;

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord cometh as a thief: that (day) in which the heavens suddenly [Mensheli.] shall pass away, but the elements burning be dissolved, and the earth and the works that are in it be found not.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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.

¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

²¹ ourselves in the love of Aloha to keep, while looking for the mercy of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto our eternal salvation.

²³ And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.

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.

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

¹⁶ They will not hunger or thirst again, nor will the sun come down upon them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ for it is the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne who will feed them, and will lead them unto fountains of living waters, and Aloha will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Aloha, which is mingled without sparing* in the cup of his anger. And he shall be tormented in fire and sulphur, before his holy angels and before the throne: [* Vide SCHLEUSNER, sub? (No. 2,) which is the word here incorporated into the Syrian text.] ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment for ever and ever will ascend. And they have no rest day and night who worship the beast of prey and his image.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, blessed are the dead who in Aloha die from now. Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works follow with them.

⁹ and men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of Aloha who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured his vial upon the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness, and they gnawed their tongues from pain; ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains, and from their ulcers, and repented not of their works.

⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,[Zachurith.] and golden with gold [Madhabo b'dhabo.] and precious stones and pearls; having a cup of gold in her hand, full of pollutions and uncleanness of her fornications [by which she hath polluted] the earth.

⁷ How much she hath pleased herself to be wanton, all this give her suffering and sorrow. For she said in her heart, I sit the queen, and am not a widow, and sorrow I see not.

¹⁶ saying, Woe, woe, that great city, which was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and golded with gold, and (adorned) with precious stones and pearls; for in one hour hath been destroyed wealth like this.

²⁰ And the beast of prey was taken, and the false prophet with him who wrought signs before him, with which he deluded them who received the signature of the beast of prey, and them who worshipped his image; and living they were both cast into the lake of fire which burneth with sulphur.

¹⁰ And the accuser who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and of sulphur, as was also the beast of prey and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat thereon, from whom from his face fled earth and heaven; and place (as) to this was not found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is (the Book) of Life. And the dead were judged from the (records) which are written in the books according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and shiul gave up the dead which were in them. And they were judged every one according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and shiul were cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. ¹⁵ And if a man was not found written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ AND I saw new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had gone, and the sea was no more.

⁴ And every tear shall be wiped away from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor clamour, nor pain, shall be any more; for the former things are passed away.

¹ AND he showed me a river of waters of life, clear as crystal, coming forth from the throne of Aloha and of the Lamb.

¹¹ He who doeth evil shall work evil still; and he who is filthy shall be filthy still; and the righteous shall still do righteousness, and the holy be holy still.
