⁷ They made light of father and mother in thee: they did with violence to the stranger in the midst of thee: they oppresed the orphan and the widow in thee.

¹ Turn back, O Israel, even to Jehovah thy God, for thou wert weak in thine iniquity. ² Take with you words and turn back to Jehovah: say to him, Thou wilt take away all iniquity, and take good: and we will requite the fruits of our lips.

² A day of darkness and of thick darkness; a day of cloud and gloom as the morning spread upon the mountains: great and strong people; the like to him was not from forever, and after him there shall not be added even to the years of generation and generation. ³ Before him a fire devoured, and after him a flame shall burn; the land as the garden of Eden before him, and after him a desert of desolation; and also there was no escaping to him.

⁸ And upon garments taken in pledge they will turn by every altar, and they will drink the wine of the amerced in the house of their God.

³ And he will say to me, This the curse going forth upon the face of all the earth: for every one stealing from thence was empty like it; and every one swearing from this was empty like it ⁴ I brought it forth, says Jehovah of armies, and it came into the house of the thief, and into the house of him swearing for falsehood in my name: and it lodged in the midst of his house, and it finished it and its wood and its stones.

⁹ And now, beseech now, the face of God, and he will be gracious to us: this was from your hand: will he lift up from you the faces? says Jehovah of armies.

¹⁷ Ye wearied Jehovah with your words: and ye said, In what did we weary? In your saying, Every one doing evil is good in the eyes of Jehovah, and he delighted in them; or, Where the God of judgment?

⁵ And I came near to you for judgment: and I was a swift witness against those practicing magic, and against those committing adultery, and against those swearing to falsehood, and against those oppressing the hire of the hireling, the widow and the orphan, and those turning aside the stranger, and they feared not me, said Jehovah of armies.

¹⁴ Ye said, Vanity to serve God: and what profit that we watched his watches, and that we went mourning from the face of Jehovah of armies?

⁵² And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.

¹⁹ Then the disciples having come to Jesus apart, said, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁰ And Jesus said to them, For your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If ye have faith as a kernel of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Go away from thence, and it shall go away; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

¹ And certain were present in that time announcing to him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices. ² And Jesus having answered, said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinful above all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things? ³ No, I say to you: but except ye should change the mind, ye shall all likewise perish. ⁴ Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that these were debtors above all men dwelling in Jerusalem? ⁵ No, I say: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

¹¹ For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted.

¹⁰ So also ye, when ye do all appointed you, say, That we are useless servants: for what we ought to do, we have done.

⁹ And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: ¹⁰ Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican. ¹² I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. ¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. ¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spake to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he following me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

³ And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, announcing good news, peace through Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)

¹⁷ And surely indeed he left not himself without witness, doing good, having given us rain from heaven, and fruitful times, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

³¹ What then shall we say to these? if God with us, who against us?

²⁰ If therefore thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for doing this, thou shalt heap up-coals of fire on his head.

⁶ For God, having spoken light to shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²⁰ For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

¹⁰ As being grieved, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

¹ Therefore having these declarations, dearly let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man should sow, that also shall he reap. ⁸ For he sowing to his flesh of the flesh shall reap corruption; but he sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap eternal life.

⁷ And the peace of God, surpassing all understanding, shall watch your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ And I have all, and abound: I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a smell of sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, pleasing to God.

⁷ Being rooted and built up in him, and rendered firm in the faith, as ye were taught, abounding in it with gratitude.

¹ Therefore as to the rest, brethren we ask you, and beseech in the Lord Jesus, as ye received from us how ye must walk and please God, that ye may more abound. ² For ye know what orders we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

⁸ I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.

¹⁹ Truly the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal, The Lord knows them being his. And, Let every one naming the name of Christ remove from iniquity.

⁵ Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him?

⁶ And he gives greater grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

¹⁵ For you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, and should do this, or that.

¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall save him being sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he should have wrought sins, it shall be remitted to him. ¹⁶ Acknowledge your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that ye might be healed.

¹⁹ In which also having gone, he proclaimed to the spirits in prison; ²⁰ They having been once unbelieving, when the longsuffering of God waited in Noah's days, the ark being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subjected to the elders. And all being subject to one another, be wrapped up in humility: for God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.

⁵ And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious; ⁶ And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha having reduced to ashes, condemned with a catastrophe, a pattern set to them about to act irreligiously; ⁷ And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered:

²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

¹⁴ And this is the freedom of speech which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: ¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

²⁰ And ye, dearly beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

¹⁹ I, if as many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be emulous therefore, and repent.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and the holy sent, and the prophets; for God judged your judgment of her.

¹ And after these things I heard the great voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, to the Lord our God: ² For true and just his judgments: for he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her harlotry, and he avenged the blood of his servants from her hand. ³ And the second time they said, Alleluia. And her smoke goes up for ever and ever.
