¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁹ Then therefore we pursue the things belonging to peace, and edification towards one another.

⁵ But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus.

¹³ For indeed we have by one Spirit been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, or bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

²² but much more are the members of the body which seem to be the weaker necessary: ²³ and those which we regard the more dishonorable members of the body, upon these we confer the more abundant honors; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness; ²⁴ but our comely members have no need. But God has adjusted the body, having given the more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

²⁶ And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.

¹ Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

²⁴ then the end, when he may deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he may destroy all government, all authority and power.

¹² For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and purity of God, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have sojourned in the world, and especially towards you.

²⁴ not that we domineer over your faith, but we are fellow-workers of your joy: for by faith you stand.

¹⁵ because we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, among those who are saved, and among those who perish; ¹⁶ unto the latter a savour from death unto death; but unto the former a savour from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

²⁷ for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one by a bond-maid and one by a freewoman. ²³ But the one indeed of the bond-maid was born according to the flesh, and the one of the freewoman through the promise. ²⁴ Which things are allegorized: for these are the two covenants; the one indeed from mount Sinai, generating children into bondage, which is Hagar. ²⁵ For this mount Sinai is in Arabia, and corresponds with Jerusalem which now is: for she is in bondage with her children. ²⁶ But Jerusalem who is above is free, who is our mother:

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law.

⁶ that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel,

² with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in divine love;

²² that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception; ²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and blasphemy, depart from you, with all evil. ³² But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

¹ Therefore be ye imitators of God, as beloved children;

²² Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is submissive to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her; ²⁶ in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word,

²⁶ in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless. ²⁸ So the husbands ought to love their own wives with divine love as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife is loving himself:

³³ Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.

⁵ Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ;

¹⁸ praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit in every place, and watching unto this same thing in all perseverance and prayer for all the saints,

²⁷ Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

²⁹ because the blessing is conferred on you in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but indeed to suffer for him:

¹⁶ only, whereunto we have already attained, to walk by the same rule.

²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens; whence we are indeed looking for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

⁸ Finally, brethren, so many things as are true, so many things as are noble, so many things as are righteous, so many things as are pure, so many things as are lovely, so many things as are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things. ⁹ Whatsoever things you have indeed learned and received and heard and seen in me, do the same: and the God of peace will be with you.

⁵ on account of the hope which awaits you in the heavens, which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

²¹ And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled ²² in the body of his cross through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreprovable before him, ²³ if you abide in the faith, having been grounded and firm, and not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, having been preached in all creation which is under heaven; whose minister I Paul became.

²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹² having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:

¹ If then ye are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting on the right hand of God;

³ For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God:

⁹ lie not to one another, having laid aside the old man with his habits, ¹⁰ and having put on the new man, who is renewed into perfect knowledge according to the image of him who created him:

¹² Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, in which you are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

¹⁸ Ye wives, submit to your husbands as is becoming in the Lord. ¹⁹ Ye husbands, love your wives with divine love, and be not harsh towards them.

²² Ye servants, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, pleasing men, but of purity of heart, fearing the Lord.

⁵ Walk about in wisdom toward the aliens, buying in the opportunity. ⁶ Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor,

¹¹ and that you aspire to be quiet, and to prosecute your own employments, and work with your hands, as we proclaimed unto you;

¹⁵ See that no one may return evil for evil to any one; but always pursue good toward one another, and toward all.

⁸ in the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

¹² but we command such and exhort them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietude working, they must eat their own bread.

⁵ but the end of the commandment is divine love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and faith free from hypocrisy:

¹⁹ having faith and a good conscience; which some having cast away have made shipwreck concerning the faith;

² for kings and all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.

⁹ likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments; ¹⁰ but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.

¹⁰ but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works. ¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence in all submission; ¹² but I do not permit a woman to dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.

¹⁵ but she shall be saved through child-bearing, if they may abide in faith and in divine love and in sanctification with prudence.

¹² Let no one look with contempt upon your youth; but be you an example of the faithful, in word, in deportment, in divine love, in faith, in purity.

⁵ She who is truly a widow, and left alone, hopes in God, and abides in prayers and supplication night and day;

¹⁰ being witness in beautiful works; if she has brought up children, if she has entertained strangers, if she has washed the feet of saints, if she has succored those in tribulation, if she has followed in every good work.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, into which you have been called, and witnessed a beautiful testimony before many witnesses.

¹⁸ that they do good, be rich in good works, be cheerful givers, ready communicators;

³ I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my ancestors with a clean conscience, as I have incessant mention of you in my prayers, night and day

²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth,

²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him (the Lord's servant) according to his will.

² in the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before the eternal times,

³ likewise that the elderly women be reverent in demeanor, not tattlers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

³ likewise that the elderly women be reverent in demeanor, not tattlers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

³ likewise that the elderly women be reverent in demeanor, not tattlers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good; ⁴ in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁴ in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁴ in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

⁵ to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed. ⁶ Likewise exhort the young men to be prudent:

⁶ Likewise exhort the young men to be prudent: ⁷ concerning all things exhibiting yourself an example of good works; in teaching; purity, gravity, ⁸ the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.

⁸ the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us. ⁹ That servants submit to their own masters, that they be obedient in all things; not speaking back; ¹⁰ not purloining, but exhibiting all good faith, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God, that brings salvation to all men, has appeared, ¹² teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we must live prudently and righteously and holily in this present age; ¹³ looking for the blessed hope even the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ¹⁵ Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise thee.

² to speak evil of no one, that they should be peaceable, gentle, showing all meekness to all men.

⁵ not from works which are in righteousness, which we did, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewal of the Holy Ghost, ⁶ whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁷ in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

³ who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹³ And to which one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet? ¹⁴ Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?

⁶ but Christ was as a son, over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end.

⁹ and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

¹ Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

¹⁴ saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee:

¹⁸ that through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of the hope set before us, ¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is in the veil, ²⁰ whither Jesus the forerunner has entered in our behalf, having been made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

¹ But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered up himself without spot to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

²⁴ For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf:

²⁶ since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself.

²⁸ so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.

¹² and he, having offered up one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God;

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes.

¹¹ And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

¹⁹ considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure.

² looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification, without which no one shall see the Lord:

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

¹⁶ But do not forget benefaction and fellowship: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁸ Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, wishing in all things to deport ourselves in harmony with the beauty of holiness.

¹² Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.

²¹ Therefore having laid aside all filthiness and excess of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

²⁶ But if any one seems to be religious, bridling not his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, the religion of that man is vain.

¹³ For judgment is without mercy to him that shows no mercy; but mercy glorieth against judgment.

¹ Be ye not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment. ² For we all fail in many things; if any one fails not in word, the same is a perfect man, able even to bridle the whole body. ³ But if we put bridles into the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us; and we manage their whole body; ⁴ behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers; ⁵ so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles! ⁶ The tongue, a fire, the world of iniquity: the tongue sits down in the midst of our members, and corrupting the whole body, and setting on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. ⁷ For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature: ⁸ but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; an incorrigible evil, full of deadly poison. ⁹ With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God: ¹⁰ out of the same mouth come forth blessing and scolding. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

¹³ Who is wise and instructed among you? Let him show forth out of beautiful conduct his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy and strife in your heart, do not boast, and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, intellectual, and demoniacal. ¹⁶ For where there are envy and strife, there are contention and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy. ¹⁸ But the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who are making peace.

¹⁷ Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

⁶ You condemned, you murdered the righteous; nothing antagonizes you.

¹¹ Behold, we pronounce them happy who have endured: you have heard the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, because the Lord is very merciful, and sympathetic.

¹⁶ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, in order that you may be healed: the inward working prayer of a righteous man avails much.

¹⁹ My brethren, if any one among you may err from the truth, and one may turn him back; ²⁰ let him know, that the one having turned a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sins.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,

¹¹ searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show: ¹² to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.

¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;

¹⁷ And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,

²² Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love: ²³ having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides.

¹ Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations;

¹² having your deportment beautiful among the Gentiles: in order that in whatsoever they calumniate you as evil doers, seeing from your beautiful works, they may glorify God in the day of his visitation.

¹⁵ because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people:

¹⁷ Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king.

¹⁹ For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly.

¹⁹ For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.

²⁰ For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.

²⁰ For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God. ²¹ For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

²¹ For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps: ²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth,

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth,

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, ²³ who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously:

²³ who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously: ²⁴ who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.

¹ Likewise, ye wives, be submissive to your own husbands; in order that, if any do not believe the word, they shall be gained through the deportment of their wives, without the word; ² beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence:

² beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence:

² beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence: ³ whose beauty, let it not be the external beauty of braiding the hairs, and wearing golds, or putting on of outer garments; ⁴ but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete.

⁴ but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete. ⁵ For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands: ⁶ as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity.

⁶ as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity. ⁷ Likewise, ye husbands, dwelling with the wife according to knowledge, as the weaker vessel, extending to them honor, as indeed the equal heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers should not be hindered.

¹⁴ But if indeed you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Fear not their fear, neither be troubled;

¹⁴ But if indeed you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Fear not their fear, neither be troubled; ¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear:

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear:

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear: ¹⁶ having a good conscience, in order that, in whatsoever you are calumniated, those traducing your good deportment in Christ may be ashamed.

²¹ Which antitype baptism does even now save you, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking after a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

¹ Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin;

⁶ For, unto this the gospel was also preached to the dead, in order that they may indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

¹³ but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad. ¹⁴ If you suffer reproach in the name of Christ, happy are you, because the spirit of the glory and the spirit of God rest on you. ¹⁵ But let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other people's business:

¹⁵ But let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other people's business: ¹⁶ but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name. ¹⁷ Because it is time that judgment should begin from the house of God: and if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

¹⁹ So let those indeed suffering according to the will of God submit their souls to the faithful Creator, in good work.

⁵ Likewise, you younger men, submit to the elders: and all put on humility toward one another; because God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you.

⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.

⁵ and spared not the old world, but delivered Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, brings the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

¹¹ Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,

¹⁵ and consider the longsuffering of the Lord's salvation; as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom which was given unto him has written unto you;

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death.

¹⁸ Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;

¹¹ Beloved, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.

⁵ And in their mouth no lie is found: for they are blameless.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me; See that you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and one of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁷ And when the thousand years may be fulfilled, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
