Hebrews 10 Cross References - MLV

¹ For the law, having a shadow of the future good things, (not the same image of the matters), they are never able to complete those who come near with the same continual sacrifices which they are offering every year. ² Otherwise, why would they not have ceased being offered? Because those who are giving-divine service to God, once having been cleansed, would then have a conscience of sins no more. ³ But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of oxen and male-goats should take away sins. ⁵ Hence when he enters into the world, he says, ‘You did not wish to have sacrifice and offering, but you, yourself, completed a body for me. ⁶ You were not delighted in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices concerning sin. ⁷ Then I said, (as it has been written concerning me in the volume of the book), Behold, I am coming to do your will, O God.’ ⁸ After saying this above, You do not wish, nor were you delighted in sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices concerning sin, (which are offered according to the law), ⁹ then he has said, ‘Behold, I am coming to do your will, O God.’He assassinates
the first covenant, in order that he should establish the second covenant, ¹⁰ in which will, we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And indeed every priest stands every day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take away sins. ¹² But having offered one continual sacrifice on behalf of sins, he sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ furthermore waiting until his enemies should be placed under the footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For he has completed in one continual offering those who are made holy. ¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after he has said beforehand, ¹⁶ ‘This is the covenant that I will covenant for them after those days, says the Lord, I will be giving my laws upon their hearts and I will write them upon their minds.’ ¹⁷ And ‘I may never remember their sins and their lawlessness anymore.’ ¹⁸ Now where the forgiveness of these is, there is no more an offering concerning sin.
¹⁹ Therefore brethren, having boldness for the entrance into the holy-places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ a way which he inaugurated for us, a fresh and living way, through the curtain, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God; ²² let us come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled away from an evil conscience and our body, having been fully-washed in clean water. ²³ We should hold-onto the confession of our hope–unwavering; for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And we should consider one another for motivating each other from love and from good works; ²⁵ not forsaking our own gathering-together, just-as the custom is with some, but encouraging one another, and so-much more, inasmuch as you are seeing the day drawing near.
²⁶ For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a zeal of fire which is about to eat the adversaries. ²⁸ Anyone who has rejected the Law of Moses, dies without mercy upon the word of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think he will be deemed worthy of, after having trampled under foot the Son of God, and having deemed the blood of the covenant in which he was made holy as common, and having insulted the Spirit of the grace? ³⁰ For we know the one who said, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying says the Lord.’And again, ‘ The Lord will judge his people.’ ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
³² But remind yourselves of the former days, when you were enlightened, in which you endured a large conflict of sufferings; ³³ in this thing indeed, makes you a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions, but in this thing, you became partners of those who conducted themselves so. ³⁴ For you also sympathized together with me in my bonds, and you accepted the plunder of your possessions with joy, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession in the heavens and an abiding one. ³⁵ Therefore do not cast away your boldness, which has great reward. ³⁶ For you have need of endurance, in order that, having done the will of God, you may get the promise for yourselves. ³⁷ ‘For still a little while, O how-much? O how-much? He who is coming will be coming and will not delay. ³⁸ But my righteous one will be living from faith and if he retreats back, my soul does not delight in him.’ ³⁹ But we are not from this retreating back leading to destruction, but we are from the faith leading to the preservation of the soul.

⁹ then he has said, ‘Behold, I am coming to do your will, O God.’He assassinates

⁵ Hence when he enters into the world, he says, ‘You did not wish to have sacrifice and offering, but you, yourself, completed a body for me.

I will be giving my laws into their mind and I will be writing them upon their hearts. And I will be a God to them and they will be covenanted into a people for me; ¹¹ and they may never need to teach, saying, Know the Lord; to each one his fellow-citizen and each one his brother, because all will know me, from the little insofar as their great ones. ¹² Because I will be lenient to their unrighteousness; I may never remember their lawlessness and their sins anymore.’
¹³ In the saying, a new covenant, the first has become-obsolete. But what becomes-obsolete and is aged, it is near to disappearing.

¹¹ But Christ came as a high-priest of the future good things, through the greater and more complete tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, ¹² nor through the blood of male-goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found everlasting redemption.

²⁷ And the saying, ‘still once for all,’indicates the transfer of those things which are shaken, as of things which have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may remain. ²⁸ Hence, receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which we give-divine service in ways well pleasing to God, with reverence and piety;

¹ In that day there will be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his ribs with a spear and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁰ But you are from him, in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom and righteousness and holiness and redemption from God;

¹¹ And some of you were these, but you were fully-washed, but you were made holy, but you were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

²⁷ who has no necessity every day to offer up sacrifices just-like the high-priests, (beforehand on behalf of their own sins), and thereafter for those of the people; for he did this once for all, having offered up himself.

¹² But having offered one continual sacrifice on behalf of sins, he sat down at the right hand of God;

¹⁴ For he has completed in one continual offering those who are made holy.

¹² Hence Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might make the people holy through his own blood.

⁶ This is he who came through water and blood–Jesus Christ; not only in the water, but in the water and in the blood. And it is the Spirit who is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth.

³ And you will say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you* will offer to Jehovah: male-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

²⁴ After this manner you* will offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah. It will be offered besides the continual burnt offering and the drink offering of it.

⁶ besides the burnt offering of the new moon and the meal offering of it and the continual burnt offering and the meal offering of it and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

⁸ I will not reprove you for your sacrifices and your burnt offerings being continually before me. ⁹ I will take no bullock out of your house, nor male-goats out of your folds.
¹⁰ Because every beast of the forest is mine and the cattle upon a thousand hills. ¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

²¹ yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

²⁷ And he will make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end and that determined, wrath will be poured out upon the desolate.

³¹ And forces will stand on his part and they will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress and will take away the continual burnt offering and they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.

¹¹ And from the time that the continual burnt offering will be taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there will be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

¹ Jehovah says to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right, until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet?

³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet.’

⁴³ until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet.

³⁵ until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet.’

¹³ But toward which of the messengers has he previously said, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I should place your enemies as the footstool of your feet?

³² And hereafter I consign you brethren to God, and to the word of his favor, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been made holy.

¹⁶ that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, having done the sacred work of the good-news of God, in order that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been made holy in the Holy Spirit.

² to the congregation of God which is in Corinth–those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, called ones, holy-ones, together with all who are calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

²⁶ in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word,

¹³ For when God promised to Abraham, since he was holding no one greater to swear according to, he swore according to himself, ¹⁴ saying, Absolutely in blessing, I will bless you and multiplying, I will multiply you.

¹⁹ (for the law completed nothing) and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we are drawing near to God.

²⁵ Hence he is also able to completely save those who come to God through him, always living, that he may petition on their behalf.

¹⁰ being only fleshly ordinances, (upon the basis of foods, drinks and assorted ceremonial washings), laid upon us till a time of reformation.

¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, (who through the everlasting Spirit offered himself unblemished to God), will be cleansing your conscience from dead works, that you may give-divine service to the living God.

¹ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to the called one, those who have been made holy in God the Father and have been kept in Jesus Christ:

² The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me and his word was upon my tongue.

³⁰ Yet many years you prolonged with them and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

²⁶ But whenever the Helper has come, whom I will be sending to you from the Father, who is the Spirit of the truth, who travels from the Father, that one will be testifying concerning me;

²⁵ But when they disagreed among themselves, they were dismissing themselves after Paul had spoken just one declaration, The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

³ how shall we flee, having neglected so-great a salvation, which having received at the beginning was spoken through the Lord, which was confirmed to us from those who heard it? ⁴ God was testifying together with them, both by signs and by wonders and by various powers and by distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.

⁷ Hence, as the Holy Spirit says, ‘Today if you hear his voice,

⁸ The Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the holy of holies has still not been manifested, while the first tabernacle still has a standing.

¹¹ searching what time or what sort of time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating, when testifying beforehand of the sufferings for Christ and the glories following after these things. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that they were serving these things not to themselves, but to you; which things now have been reported to you through those who proclaimed the good-news to you in the Holy Spirit, when he was sent forth from heaven; into which things messengers desire to peer into.

²¹ For no prophecy was ever brought about by the will of man, but the holy men of God spoke the word being carried by the Holy Spirit.

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations. To the one who overcomes, I will be giving to him to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations. He who overcomes may never be hurt from the second death.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations. To the one who overcomes, I will be giving to him to eat from the manna which has been hidden and I will be giving him a white voting-pebble and a new name that has been written upon the voting-pebble, which no one knows except he who receives it.

²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations.

⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations.

¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations.

²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the congregations.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See that you do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of you and of your brethren who are holding the testimony of Jesus. Worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

³³ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Jehovah: I will give my laws into their mind and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people.
³⁴ And they will teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah, for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.

⁸ For finding-fault with them, he says, ‘Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, That I will complete a new covenant upon the house of Israel and upon the house of Judah; ⁹ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by my hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, because they did not remain in my covenant and I neglected them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ Because this one is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will be giving my laws into their mind and I will be writing them upon their hearts. And I will be a God to them and they will be covenanted into a people for me; ¹¹ and they may never need to teach, saying, Know the Lord; to each one his fellow-citizen and each one his brother, because all will know me, from the little insofar as their great ones. ¹² Because I will be lenient to their unrighteousness; I may never remember their lawlessness and their sins anymore.’

³⁴ And they will teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah, for they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.

¹² Because I will be lenient to their unrighteousness; I may never remember their lawlessness and their sins anymore.’

² Otherwise, why would they not have ceased being offered? Because those who are giving-divine service to God, once having been cleansed, would then have a conscience of sins no more.

² through whom we also have had our access to this grace in the faith in which we are standing, and we are boasting in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of sonship, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

⁶ And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. ⁷ So-that you are no longer a bondservant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

¹⁸ because through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹² in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.

⁷ For God did not give to us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.

¹⁶ Therefore let us come near to the throne of the grace with boldness, in order that we may receive mercy and may find grace for opportune help.

³ But, the tabernacle which is called the holy of holies was in behind the second curtain;

⁷ but the high-priest went alone into the second, once in the year for all, not without blood, which he offers on behalf of himself and on behalf of the sins of ignorance of the people. ⁸ The Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the holy of holies has still not been manifested, while the first tabernacle still has a standing.

²³ Therefore indeed, it was a necessity that the copies of the things in the heavens are to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For the Christ did not enter into a holy-places made with hands, counterparts to the true one, but into heaven itself, now to be manifested before the face of God on our behalf. ²⁵ Nor did he enter in order that he should offer himself often, just-like the high-priest enters into the holy-places every year with another’s blood;

²⁸ Hence, receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have gratitude, through which we give-divine service in ways well pleasing to God, with reverence and piety;

¹ My little-children, these things I am writing to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone should sin, we have a Helper with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And he is the atonement concerning our sins, but not concerning ours only, but also concerning the whole world.

¹⁹ And we know in this that we are from the truth and will persuade our hearts before him; ²⁰ because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and he knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

¹⁷ In this, love has been completed with us, in order that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just-as that man is complete, we are also complete in this world.

³¹ And you will make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen. With cherubim, it will be made the work of the skillful workman. ³² And you will hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks will be of gold, upon four sockets of silver. ³³ And you will hang up the veil under the clasps and will bring in there within the veil the ark of the testimony. And the veil will separate to you* between the holy place and the most holy.
³⁴ And you will put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. ³⁵ And you will set the table outside the veil and the lamp-stand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. And you will put the table on the north side.
³⁶ And you will make a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer. ³⁷ And you will make for the screen five pillars of acacia and overlay them with gold. Their hooks will be of gold and you will cast five sockets of brass for them.

³⁵ And he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen. He made it with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman. ³⁶ And he made for it four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold and he cast for them four sockets of silver. ³⁷ And he made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, ³⁸ and the five pillars of it with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their bands with gold and their five sockets were of brass.

² and Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, that he not come at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark, that he not die, for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.

¹⁵ Then he will kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people and bring his blood within the veil and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat and before the mercy-seat.

²³ only he will not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish, that he not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

⁵¹ And behold, the curtain of the temple was split-apart into two pieces, from the top to the bottom, and the earth shook, and the rocks were split-apart;

³⁸ And the curtain of the temple was split-apart, into two pieces, from the top to the bottom.

⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened and the curtain of the temple was split-apart in the middle.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will be living forever and also the bread which I will be giving is my flesh, which I will be giving on behalf of the life of the world.
⁵² Therefore the Jews were quarreling with one another, saying, How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?
⁵³ Therefore Jesus said to them, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is truly food and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.

⁷ Therefore Jesus said to them again, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, I am the door of the sheep.

⁹ I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he will be saved and will enter and will go out and will find pasture.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way and the truth and the life; no one is coming to the Father, except through me.

¹⁵ having done-away-with the hostility in his flesh, which is the Law of commandments in decrees; in order that he might create in himself the two into one new man, thus making peace;

¹⁹ This hope which we have as an anchor of the soul, is both secure and steadfast and entering into the inner side of the curtain;

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered once for all on behalf of our sins, the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, in order that he might lead you to God; having indeed been slain in the flesh, but was given-life in the Spirit;

² You know the Spirit of God in this. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

¹⁸ But I also say to you, that you are ^{F} Peter and upon this, the rock, I will be building my congregation of believers, and the gates of Hades will not be prevailing against her.

⁹ For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s cultivation, God’s building.
¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, I have laid a foundation like a wise expert-builder, and another is building upon it. But let each one beware how he is building upon it. ¹¹ For no one is able to lay another foundation beside what is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² But if anyone is building on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, ¹³ the work of each one will become apparent. For the day will indicate it, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire will test the work of each one, of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If anyone’s work remains which he built upon it, he will be receiving a reward. ¹⁵ If the work of anyone will be burned, he will be forfeiting that work, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
¹⁶ Do you not know that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God is dwelling in you? ¹⁷ If anyone corrupts the temple of God, God will have corruption for this one; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.

¹⁶ And what alliance has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God; just-as God said, ‘I will be dwelling among them and will be walking among them, and I will be their God and they will be a people to me.’ ¹⁷ Hence ‘Come out from the midst of them and be separate,’says the Lord, ‘And touch no unclean thing, and I will accept you\super\'b0

¹⁹ Therefore consequently, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the holy-ones and members of the household of God, ²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone; ²¹ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom you are also built together into a residence of God in the Spirit.

¹⁵ but if I am slow, these things are in order that you may know how men ought to conduct themselves in the house of God, which is the congregation of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

¹⁷ Hence he was obligated to have been similar to his brethren according to all things, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things pertaining to God, that he should make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹ Hence, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus Christ, the Apostle and High-Priest of our confession;

³ For he has been deemed worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who constructed the house has more honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God. ⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in his whole house as a bondservant for a testimony of the things which will be spoken later; ⁶ but Christ was faithful as a son, over his house; whose house we are, if indeed we hold-onto our boldness and the boasting of our hope steadfast till the end.

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high-priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has gone through the heavens, let us hold-fast our confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high-priest who is unable to sympathize together with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted according to all things according to our likeness, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let us come near to the throne of the grace with boldness, in order that we may receive mercy and may find grace for opportune help.

²⁰ where a forerunner Jesus entered on our behalf, having become a high-priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

²⁶ For such a high-priest was suitable to us, holy, guiltless, undefiled, has been separated away from sinners and became exalted from the heavens;

⁴ And Aaron and his sons you will bring to the door of the tent of meeting and will wash them with water.

⁶ And Moses brought Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

⁷ And he will sprinkle seven times upon he who is to be cleansed from the leprous disease and will pronounce him clean and will let the living bird go into the open field.

⁷ And thus you will do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh and let them wash their clothes and cleanse themselves.

¹⁸ And a clean man will take hyssop and dip it in the water and sprinkle it upon the tent and upon all the vessels and upon the souls who were there and upon him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave. ¹⁹ And the clean man will sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he will purify him. And he will wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and will be clean at evening.

³ And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. And his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God as the heart of David his father.

³³ Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could arranged for battle, with all manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand and who could order the battle array and were not of double heart.

⁹ And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for Jehovah searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

¹⁷ I know also, my God, that you try the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

¹ I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all your marvelous works.

¹¹ Be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, you*, righteous ones. And shout for joy, all you* who are upright in heart.

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me.

²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have made the lord Jehovah my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

¹¹ Because Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give favor and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

¹⁵ Because judgment will return to righteousness and all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹ Praise Jehovah. I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart, in the council of the upright and in the congregation.

² Those who keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart are fortunate.

⁷ I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart when I learn your righteous judgments.

¹⁰ I have sought you with my whole heart. O do not let me wander from your commandments.

³⁴ Give me understanding and I will keep your law, yes, I will observe it with my whole heart.

⁵⁸ I entreated your favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.

⁶⁹ The proud have forged a lie against me. I will keep your precepts with my whole heart.

⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in your statutes that I am not put to shame.

¹⁴⁵ I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, O Jehovah. I will keep your statutes.

²⁶ My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways.

¹³ And the Lord said, Inasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, but in vain they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.

¹⁵ so will he sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him. For what had not been told them they will see and what they had not heard they will understand.

¹⁰ And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says Jehovah.

⁷ And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah. And they will be my people and I will be their God, for they will return to me with their whole heart.

²¹ And their prince will be of themselves and their ruler will proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near and he will approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Jehovah.

⁹ Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you and I anointed you with oil.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you* and you* will be clean. I will cleanse you* from all your* filthiness and from all your* idols.

¹¹ I indeed immerse you in water toward repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not sufficient to bear. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit;

²¹ Now Jesus answered and said to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only be doing the miracle of the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be lifted up and cast yourself into the sea, it will happen. ²² And all things, as many things as you may ask in prayer, and believing, you will be receiving.

²³ For assuredly I am saying to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, and should not doubt in his heart, but should believe that what he says happens; whatever he says will be to him. ²⁴ Because of this, I am saying to you, All things, as many things as you may ask for when praying, believe that you receive them and you will have them.

⁵ Jesus answered, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, If someone has not been born out of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God!

⁹ Now when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, they were going out one by one, having begun from the elder ones and Jesus was being left alone, and the woman being in his midst.

⁸ Peter says to him, Never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.
⁹ Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not only my feet, but also the hands and the head.
¹⁰ Jesus says to him, He who has been fully-washed does not need to wash himself, other than the feet, but is entirely clean and you are clean, but not all.

²¹ You have neither part nor inheritance in this word, for this heart of yours is not straight in God’s sight.

¹ Therefore beloved, having these promises, we should cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, completing holiness in the fear of God.

⁵ The bondservants, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in clarity of your heart, as to the Christ;

² through the hypocrisy from the speakers of lies, having been branded in their own conscience;

⁵ he saved us (not from any works done in righteousness, which we practiced), but according to his mercy, through the full-washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁹ For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, and when he took the blood of the calves and the male-goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

¹⁹ Therefore brethren, having boldness for the entrance into the holy-places by the blood of Jesus,

²⁸ In faith, he has made the Passover and the splashing of the blood on the door frames, in order that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

²⁴ and to Jesus the intermediary of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than that of Abel.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing in himself. For he who is doubting himself resembles a wave of the sea being blown by the wind and tossed around.

⁸ Draw near to God and he will be drawing near to you. Cleanse your hands sinners and purify your hearts you indecisive!

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the holiness of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you and may peace be multiplied.

²¹ which is our counterpart, immersion, saves us also now, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the demand of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

¹⁹ And we know in this that we are from the truth and will persuade our hearts before him; ²⁰ because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and he knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward God; ²² and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we are keeping his commandments and are practicing the things which are pleasing in his sight.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and washed us away from our sins in his blood;

⁹ God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except common human temptations, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to undergo, but together with the temptation, he will also make an outlet.

²⁴ He is faithful who calls you, who will also do it.

³ But the Lord is faithful, who will be establishing you and will be guarding you from the evil one. \ulnone\nosupersub

² upon the hope of everlasting life, which God, who is incapable of lying, promised before times everlasting.

⁶ but Christ was faithful as a son, over his house; whose house we are, if indeed we hold-onto our boldness and the boasting of our hope steadfast till the end.

¹⁴ For we have become companions of the Christ, if indeed we hold-onto the beginning of our firmness steadfast till the end;

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high-priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has gone through the heavens, let us hold-fast our confession.

¹⁸ in order that through two unchangeable matters, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge, to take-hold of the hope that lays before us.

¹¹ In faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed and bore a son contrary to the time of her fertile age, since she deemed him faithful who had promised.

¹¹ I am coming shortly. Hold-fast what you have, in order that no one may take your crown.

¹ He who considers a poor man is fortunate. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

⁷ A righteous man takes knowledge of the cause of the poor. A wicked man has no such understanding to know.

²⁹ Now the disciples, according to what was anyone’s prosperity, each of them determined to send a service of relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea;

⁴ But what does the divine-answer say to him? ‘I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.’

¹⁵ Ready to rejoice with the ones rejoicing and to weep with the ones weeping.

¹ Now we, the able, ought to bear the weaknesses of the powerless and not to please ourselves. ² Let each of us please his neighbor for what is the good thing toward building him up.

¹² Now thus, by sinning directly at the brethren and beating their weak conscience, you are sinning directly at Christ. ¹³ Hence, if food is offending my brother, I should never eat idol’s meat forever, in order that I may not offend my brother.

²² I became like the weak to the weak, in order that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, in order that I may certainly save some.

³³ just-as I am also pleasing all people in all things, not seeking what is advantageous for me, but what is advantageous for many, in order that they may be saved.

⁸ I do not speak according to commandment, but I am testing the genuineness of your love through the diligence of others.

² for I know your eagerness, of which I am boasting on your behalf to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared from the past-year, and the zeal from you has stimulated most of them. \ulnone\nosupersub

⁶ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails over anything in Christ Jesus, but faith working through love.

¹³ For brethren, you were called to freedom; only do not use your freedom for a starting-point for the flesh, but serve^*\'b0 one another through love.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

¹ Brethren, even if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you, the spiritual, mend such a one in a spirit of meekness; noting any trespass in yourself, lest you might also be tempted.

⁹ And I am praying for this: in order that your love may abound still more and more in full knowledge and all comprehension; ¹⁰ that you may approve the things which are carrying more-value; in order that you may be sincere and guilt-free in the day of Christ; ¹¹ having been filled with the fruits of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing in gratitude in your heart to the Lord.

³ constantly remembering your work of the faith, and labor of love, and of the endurance of the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father,

¹² And may the Lord increase in you and this increase to abound in love toward one another and toward all men, just-as we also do toward you; ¹³ that he might establish your hearts, blameless in holiness before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his holy-ones.

¹¹ Hence, encourage one another and build up one by one, just-as you are also practicing.

⁹ not because we did not have the authority, but in order that we might give ourselves as an example to you, that you might imitate us.

¹⁸ also command them to work what is good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in giving, generous,

⁴ in order that they may train the young women to be lovers of their husbands, to love their children,

⁸ Faithful is the word: and I will for you to confidently confirm concerning these things, in order that those who have believed God may be anxious to establish themselves first in good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the labor of the love which you showed toward his name, having served the holy-ones and still serving them. ¹¹ But we are desiring each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope till the end;

¹ Let brotherly-love abide.

³ Remember those who are prisoners, as having been bound together with them; those who are mistreated, as though being mistreated yourselves also in the body.

¹⁸ My little-children, do not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in work and in truth.

²⁰ For where two or three have been gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them.

³³ so also you, whenever you behold all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. ³⁴ Assuredly I am saying to you, This generation may never pass away, until all these things should happen.

²⁹ so also you, whenever you see these things happening, know that it is near, even at the doors. ³⁰ Assuredly I am saying to you, This generation may never pass away, till all these things should happen.

¹⁹ Therefore being evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors had been locked where the disciples were gathered because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and says to them, Peace to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed to them the hands and his ribs. Therefore the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
²¹ Therefore Jesus said to them again, Peace to you; just-as the Father has sent me; I am also sending you. ²² And after having said this, he infused them and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven to them by God; if you hold-fast anyone’s sins, those sins have been held-fast.
²⁴ But Thomas, one out of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ Therefore, the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said to them, If I do not see the pattern of the nails in his hands and may put my finger into the pattern of the nails and may put my hand into his ribs, I will never believe.


²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were inside again and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors having been locked and stood in the middle and said, Peace to you. ²⁷ Thereafter he says to Thomas, Bring your finger here and behold the hands, and bring your hand here and put it into my ribs and do not become unbelieving, but become believing.
²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!
²⁹ Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed, but the fortunate ones have not seen and yet have believed.

¹³ And having entered, they went up into the upstairs-room, where they were remaining; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James
. ¹⁴ All these men together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and together with his brethren were persevering, united in prayer and supplication.

¹ And while the day of Pentecost was being fulfilled, they were united in the same place. \ulnone\nosupersub

⁴² Now they were persevering in the apostles’teaching and in fellowship and in the breaking of the bread and in prayers.

¹⁶ Now it happened, while traveling to the place of prayer, that a certain maidservant encountered us, having a spirit of divination, who was providing her lords much business by fortune-telling.

⁷ Now on the first day of the week, the disciples having been gathered together with us to break bread, Paul was reasoning many things with them, being about to go away on the next-day, and he was prolonging the speech till midnight.

⁸ if he who is encouraging, in the encouragement; he who is giving, in liberality; he who is governing, do in diligence; he who is showing-mercy to others, do with joyfulness.

¹¹ Also this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour to be raised from sleep; for our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. ¹² The night has progressed, and the day has drawn near. Therefore, we should place away from ourselves the works of darkness, and should clothe ourselves with the weapons of light. ¹³ We should walk decently, like in the day; not in revelings and drunkenness, not in sleeping-around and in unbridled-lusts, not in strife and in jealousy.

¹³ the work of each one will become apparent. For the day will indicate it, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire will test the work of each one, of what sort it is.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you and my spirit are gathered together, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,

¹⁷ But in commanding this, I am not praising you, because you are not coming together for the best but for the worst. ¹⁸ For indeed, first of all, when you are coming together in the congregation, I am hearing that splits exist in you, and I believe some part of it. \ulnone\nosupersub

²⁰ Therefore, while coming together in the same place, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper;

³ But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up and encouragement and consolation.

²³ Therefore, if the whole congregation comes together in the same place, and if all speak with foreign languages, and if unskilled or unbelieving people come in, will they not be saying that you are insane?

⁵ Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is near.

¹⁸ So-then, encourage one another in these words.

¹³ But encourage one another every day, until what is called today; in order that not anyone of you may be hardened by the deception of sin.

²⁴ And we should consider one another for motivating each other from love and from good works;

⁸ You also, have patience; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord has drawn near.

⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore, be sensible and be sober for prayers.

⁹ The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some deem slowness, but has patience toward us, not planning for any to perish, but for all to make room in your^\'b0 hearts for repentance.

¹¹ Therefore, with all these things being dissolved, see what sort of things you ought to possess in all holy conduct and godliness,

¹⁴ Hence, beloved, while expecting these things, be diligent that you may be found in peace, unstained and unblemished in his sight.

¹⁹ These are the ones who are causing-splits, who are physical, not having the Spirit.

² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a soul will sin unwittingly, in any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done and will do any one of them,

¹³ And if the whole congregation of Israel err and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly and they have done any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done and are guilty,

²⁸ And the priest will make atonement for the soul that errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him and he will be forgiven. ²⁹ You* will have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the stranger who travels among them.
³⁰ But the soul that does anything with a high hand, whether he is home-born or a traveler, the same blasphemes Jehovah and that soul will be cut off from among his people. ³¹ Because he has despised the word of Jehovah and has broken his commandment, that soul will utterly be cut off; his iniquity will be upon him.

¹² And the man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Jehovah your God, or to the judge, even that man will die and you will put away the evil from Israel.

¹² Who can discern his errors? Acquit me from hidden sins. ¹³ Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Do not let them have dominion over me. Then I will be upright and I will acquit him from great transgression.

²² And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, ²³ but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand your breath is and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.

³¹ Because of this, I am saying to you, Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit will not be forgiven to men. ³² And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, not in the age which is now, nor in the future one.

⁴³ But the unclean spirit, whenever it has gone out of the man, goes through waterless places, seeking rest and does not find it. ⁴⁴ Then it says, I will return into my house from where I came out, and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, having been swept and adorned. ⁴⁵ Then it travels and takes with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself and they enter and dwell there and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So it will also be to this evil generation.

⁴⁷ But that bondservant, who knew his lord’s will and did not prepare, nor did according to his will, will be whipped with many lashes;

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, We see, therefore your sin remains.

¹⁷ If you know these things, you are fortunate if you practice them.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they were having no sin, but now they have no excuse concerning their sin. ²³ He who hates me also hates my Father. ²⁴ If I had not done the works which no other has done among them, then they were having no sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, because they did not accept the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹³ even though I was a former blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man, but I was shown-mercy, because I did it being ignorant in unbelief;

⁴ For it is impossible, those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and had become partakers of the Holy Spirit ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the future world ⁶ and then having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, because they are again crucifying for themselves the Son of God and disgracing him.

¹⁷ Therefore knowing to do good and not doing it, to him, it is sin.

²⁰ For if, having fled away from the defilements of the world in the full knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and having been again entangled, they are succumbed in these things, the last state has become worse to them than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them to have not known fully the way of righteousness, than to turn away from the holy commandment given to them after having fully known it. ²² But it has befallen to them as the way of the true proverb, ‘ The dog having turning again toward his own vomit,’and the sow that had fully-washed, to wallowing in the mud.

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother sinning ^{F} a sin not to death, he will ask and God will be giving him life for those who are not sinning to death. There is a sin to death. I do not say that he should ask concerning that.

³⁵ And fire came out from Jehovah and devoured the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.

⁴³ Rejoice, O you* Gentiles, with his people. For he will avenge the blood of his servants and will render vengeance to his adversaries and will recompense those who hate him and will make expiation for his land, for his people.

¹⁹ Moreover Jehovah will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Jehovah will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
²⁰ Then Saul fell immediately his full length upon the earth and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

⁹ You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath and the fire will devour them.

¹ Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him. ² As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

¹¹ Jehovah, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see. But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame. Yes, fire will devour your adversaries.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?

⁴ Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah and take away the foreskins of your* heart, you* men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest my wrath go forth like fire and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your* practices.

⁵ therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations and against all Edom, who have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with spite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.

¹⁹ For I have spoken in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath.
Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,

⁶ Then the king's countenance was changed in him and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed and his knees killed* one against another.

⁸ The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars and they will say to the mountains, Cover us and to the hills, Fall on us.

³⁰ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

² Jehovah is a jealous God and avenges. Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance on his adversaries and he reserves wrath for his enemies.

⁵ The mountains quake at him and the hills melt and the earth is upheaved at his presence. Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire and the rocks are broken apart by him.

⁸ But with an over running flood he will make a full end of her place and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
⁹ What do you* devise against Jehovah? He will make a full end. Affliction will not rise up the second time. ¹⁰ For entangled like thorns and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy. For he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

⁸ Therefore wait for me, says Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

¹ For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace and all the proud and all who work wickedness, will be stubble. And the day that comes will burn them up, says Jehovah of hosts, that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

¹⁰ But even already, the ax is laid to the root of the trees, because every tree which is not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will be thoroughly cleansing his threshing floor, and he will be gathering his grain into the barn, but the chaff he will be burning up with unquenchable fire.

²⁹ And behold, they cried out, saying, What is this thing with us and with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?

⁴² and will be casting them into the furnace of fire–the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be there.

⁵⁰ and will be casting them into the furnace of fire–the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be there.

⁴¹ Then he will also say to them at the left, Travel away from me, you those who have been cursed into the everlasting fire which has been prepared for the devil and his messengers:

⁴³ And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life crippled, rather than having your two hands, and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, ⁴⁴ where a maggot of them is not dead and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is good for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet, and to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire, ⁴⁶ where a maggot is not dead and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if your eye offends you, cast it out. It is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes, and to be cast into the hell of fire, ⁴⁸ where a maggot of them is not dying and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.

²⁴ And having shouted, he said, Father Abraham, show-mercy to me, and send Lazarus in order that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and may cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this flame.

²⁷ However my enemies, those men who did not wish that I should reign over them, lead them here and slaughter them before me.

²⁶ men passing-out from fear and expectation of the things which are coming upon the inhabited-earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

³⁰ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us, and to the hills, Hide us.

¹⁵ The Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and banished us, and were not pleasing to God, and are adverse to all men; ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles in order that they might be saved; that they should always fill up their sins, but the wrath has arrived-unexpectedly upon them–to the end.

⁷ and to you who are afflicted with us, a rest at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the messengers of his power, ⁸ giving vengeance in a fire of flame to those who do not know God and to those who are not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ,

³ how shall we flee, having neglected so-great a salvation, which having received at the beginning was spoken through the Lord, which was confirmed to us from those who heard it?

²⁷ And inasmuch as it is laid up for men to die once but after this is the judgment;

²⁵ Beware that you do not renounce the one who speaks. For if those men did not flee when they renounced the one who divinely-warned them upon the earth, much more we may not flee who are turning away from him, who is from the heavens;

²⁹ for our God is also a consuming fire.

³ Your gold and silver have tarnished, and their tarnish will be for a testimony against you and will be eating your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in your^\'b0 last days.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the great-men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every bondservant and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall upon us and hide us from the face of the one who is sitting upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

¹⁵ And if anyone was not found, having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

³⁶ And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁶ If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers, ⁷ of the gods of the peoples that are all around you*, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth, ⁸ you will not consent to him, nor listen to him. Neither will your eye pity him, neither will you spare, neither will you conceal him, ⁹ but you will surely kill him. Your hand will be first upon him to put him to death and afterwards the hand of all the people. ¹⁰ And you will stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

² If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which Jehovah your God gives you, man or woman, who does what is evil in the sight of Jehovah your God, in transgressing his covenant, ³ and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded, ⁴ and it is told you and you have heard of it, then will you inquire diligently. And behold, if it is true and the thing certain, that such abomination is worked in Israel, ⁵ then you will bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman and you will stone them to death with stones.
⁶ At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, will he who is to die be put to death. He will not be put to death at the mouth of one witness. ⁷ The hand of the witnesses will be first upon him to put him to death and afterward the hand of all the people. So you will put away the evil from the midst of you.
⁸ If there arise a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you will arise and get you up to the place which Jehovah your God will choose. ⁹ And you will come to the priests the Levites and to the judge who will be in those days and you will inquire. And they will show you the sentence of judgment.
¹⁰ And you will do according to the tenor of the sentence which they will show you from that place which Jehovah will choose. And you will observe to do according to all that they will teach you, ¹¹ according to the tenor of the law which they will teach you and according to the judgment which they will tell you, you will do. You will not turn aside from the sentence, which they will show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
¹² And the man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Jehovah your God, or to the judge, even that man will die and you will put away the evil from Israel. ¹³ And all the people will hear and fear and do no more presumptuously.

¹³ Your eye will not pity him, but you will put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.

¹⁵ One witness will not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, will a matter be established.

⁹ Why have you despised the word of Jehovah, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

¹³ And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away your sin; you will not die.

¹¹ When the limbs of it are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion upon them and he who formed them will show them no favor.

¹⁴ And I will smash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

¹⁶ But if he does not hear you, take with you one or two more, in order that, ‘at the mouth of two or three witnesses every declaration should be established.’

¹⁷ And it has been written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁵ For he says to Moses, ‘I will show-mercy to whomever I show-mercy and I will have pity on whomever I have pity.’

¹ This will be the third-time I am coming to you. (Upon the mouth of two or three witnesses every declaration will be established.)

² For if the word spoken through the messengers became steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward;

¹³ For the judgment is merciless to the one who has not practiced mercy; mercy wins over judgment.

³³ And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down. And some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses. And he trampled her under foot.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

¹⁰ Teach me to do your will, because you are my God. Your Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.

¹⁹ But you are cast forth away from your sepulcher like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, as a dead body trodden under foot.

³ The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.

¹⁰ But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

⁵ Before I formed you in the belly I knew you and before you came forth out of the womb I made you holy. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.

¹⁵ The Lord has tossed-aside all my mighty men in the midst of me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.

⁶ And when I passed by you and saw you treading in your blood, I said to you, Live in your blood! Yes, I said to you, Live in your blood!

¹⁰ Then my enemy will see it and shame will cover her who said to me, Where is Jehovah your God? My eyes will see my desire upon her. Now she will be trodden down as the mud of the streets.

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication. And they will look to me whom they have pierced. And they will mourn for him, as a man mourns for his only son and will be in bitterness for him, as a man who is in bitterness for his firstborn.

⁶ Do not give the holy thing s to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them down with their feet and having turned, they may rip at you.

¹⁰ And everyone who will speak a blasphemous word at the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to the one who has blasphemed at the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

³⁶ do you say of him, whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

⁵¹ You are stiff-necked and non-circumcised in heart and ears. You are habitually defying the Holy Spirit, like your fathers, like you also!

²⁰ Now the God of peace will crush the Adversary under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is among you.

²⁷ So-then whoever eats this bread or drinks the cup of the Lord, unworthily of the Lord, will be liable to the body and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁹ For he who unworthily eats and drinks, is eating and drinking condemnation to himself, if he is not discerning the body of the Lord.

²⁷ For he has made all things subject under his feet. But whenever he says, All things are made subject, it is evident that it is all things unless it is the one who has subjected all things to him.

³⁰ And do not make the Holy Spirit of God sorrowful, in whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.

⁴ For it is impossible, those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and had become partakers of the Holy Spirit

⁶ and then having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, because they are again crucifying for themselves the Son of God and disgracing him.

¹³ For if the blood of male-goats and oxen and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who have been desecrated, makes one holy toward the cleanness of the flesh;

²⁰ saying, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you.’

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, from the dead in the blood of an everlasting covenant,

³⁵ Vengeance is for me and recompense at the time when their foot will slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand and the things that are to come upon them will make haste. ³⁶ For Jehovah will judge his people and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power has gone and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.

⁴ He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

¹ O Jehovah, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.

¹³ before Jehovah, because he comes. Because he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his truth.

⁹ before Jehovah, because he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with uprightness.

¹⁴ Because Jehovah will judge his people and will relent concerning his servants.

¹⁷ And he put on righteousness as a breastplate and a helmet of salvation upon his head. And he put on garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

² to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart and the year of my redeemed has come.

³⁰ Therefore I will judge you*, O house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says the lord Jehovah. Return and turn yourselves from all your* transgressions, so iniquity will not be your* ruin.

¹⁷ And as for you*, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male-goats.

¹⁹ Beloved, do not be avenging yourselves, but give a chance for the wrath of God; for it has been written, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying, says the Lord.’

⁴ for he is a servant of God to you for what is the good thing. But if you practice what is the evil thing, be afraid; for he is not wearing the sword vainly; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to the one who is practicing the evil thing.

¹⁰ For it is essential for all of us to appear before the judicial-seat of the Christ; in order that each one may get back the things done in the body, for what he practiced, whether good or evil.

²² Now consider this, you* who forget God, lest I tear you* in pieces and there is none to deliver:

⁷ You, even you, are to be feared. And who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

¹¹ Who knows the power of your anger and your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

²⁸ And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

¹⁶ Now Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁵ But I will be showing you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed you, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I say to you, Fear him.

¹¹ and there will be great earthquakes in different places and famines and plagues. There will be both terrors and great signs from heaven.

²⁷ but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a zeal of fire which is about to eat the adversaries.

¹ Now Saul was consenting to the assassination of him.
Now there became a great persecution in that day upon the congregation which was in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
² Now devout men entombed Stephen and made a great lamentation over him.
³ Now Saul was devastating the congregation of believers, traveling into every house and dragging men and women away, he was giving them up to prison.

{37 AD. Samaria. Tiberius Caesar dies March 16. Caligula attempts to put his statue in the Temple.}

¹ But Saul, still breathing threatening and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high-priest, ² asked from him letters for Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found some who were of the Way, both men and women, having been bound, he might lead them to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary to God, in order for them to receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among those who have been made holy in faith, the faith in me.

⁶ Because it is God, who said, ‘Illumination shine’out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

³ Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being completed in the flesh? ⁴ You suffered vainly so-many things? If actually it was even vainly.

²⁹ because it was granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf; ³⁰ having the same struggle such-as you saw in me, and now are hearing to be in me.

¹⁶ however in what we have attained, we are to march by the same standard, to be mindful of the same things.

¹ For I wish you to know how-vast a struggle I have concerning you and those in Laodicea and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

³ Therefore suffer evil treatment as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No active soldier entangles himself in the tradeoffs of this life, in order that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. ⁵ And if anyone also contends in the games, he is not crowned, if he has not contended lawfully. ⁶ It is essential that the farmer who labors to receive of the fruits first. ⁷ Perceive the things I am saying; for the Lord may give you intelligence in all things. ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, who has been raised from the dead, was born out of the seed of David, according to my good-news; ⁹ in which I am suffering evil treatment, even as far as bonds, like a criminal, but the word of God has not been bound. ¹⁰ Because of this, I endure all things, because of the chosen, in order that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. ¹¹ Faithful is the word: for if we died together with him, we will also be living together with him : ¹² if we endure, we will also be reigning together with him; if we are denying him, he will also be denying us; ¹³ if we are unfaithful, that one is remaining faithful; he is not able to deny himself.

⁷ I have fought the good fight. I have completed the course. I have kept the faith. ⁸ Furthermore the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will be giving to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁴ You have not yet stood against this, as far as blood, in your struggle against sin.

⁸ Beware in yourselves, in order that you should not destroy the things which we have worked in you, but in order that we may receive a full reward.

⁵ Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and practice the first works; otherwise if you do not repent, I am coming to you shortly and will move your lamp-stand out of its place.

³ Therefore remember how you have received and heard, and keep it and repent. Therefore if you do not watch, I will be coming upon you like a thief and you may never know what hour I will be coming upon you.

⁹ Because the zeal of your house has eaten me up and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen upon me.

⁷ I am as a wonder to many, but you are my strong refuge.

²² Arise, O God, plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches you all the day.

¹² and render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, O Lord,

⁵¹ with which your enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.

⁷ Listen to me, you* who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Do not fear the reproach of men, nor be you* dismayed at their revilings.

⁶ And I will cast abominable filth upon you and make you vile and will set you as a gazing-stock.

⁸ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign. For, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

⁹ For I am thinking that God has showed us, the apostles, last of all, as men doomed to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to messengers and men.

¹⁰ Hence I am delighting in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, on behalf of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am mighty.

⁷ just-as it is a righteous thing for me to be mindful of this on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, all of you being joint partners with me of the grace.

¹⁴ However you did well, having shared together with my affliction.

¹⁴ For brethren, you became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just-as they did also by the Jews.

⁸ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me, his prisoner, but suffer-hardship together with the good-news according to the power of God,

¹⁶ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and is not ashamed of my chain; ¹⁷ but, when he happened to be in Rome, he diligently sought me and found me, ¹⁸ (may the Lord give to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day), and how-much he served me in Ephesus, you know this quite-well.

²⁶ having deemed the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward.

³⁶ and others received a trial from mocking and scourges, but still more, from bonds and prison:

¹³ Now-then let us go forth to him outside the encampment, carrying his reproach.

¹¹ You are fortunate whenever they reproach and persecute you and say every evil word against you–lying, because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is much in the heavens; for thus, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

¹⁹ Do not store up treasures for you upon the earth, where moth and rust ingest, and where thieves burrow through your^\'b0 wall and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ingest, and where thieves do not burrow through or steal.

²¹ Jesus said to him, If you are willing to be complete, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come-here. Follow me.

⁴² but there is need of one thing, and Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.

{Luk 11:1-13:9; Probably Judea; no parallel. This is similar teaching to different crowd.}

³³ Sell your possessions and give as charity; make^*\'b0 for yourselves money-bags which do not become-obsolete, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief draws near, nor moth corrupts.

⁴¹ Therefore indeed, they were traveling from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were deemed worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the name of Jesus.

³³ Now the commander drew near and grabbed him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he is doing.

²⁰ Therefore, because of this accusation, I pleaded to see and to speak with you; for I am encompassed with this chain because of the hope of Israel.

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle should be torn-down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens.

¹ Because of this, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

¹ Therefore, I, the prisoner in the Lord, am encouraging you to walk worthily of the calling in which you were called,

²⁰ on behalf of which, I am an ambassador in a chain; in order that I should speak boldly in it, as it is essential for me to speak.

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard beforehand in the word of the truth of the good-news.

² Be mindful of the things which are above, not the things which are upon the earth. ³ For you died and the life you have, has been hidden together with the Christ in God. ⁴ Whenever the Christ, who is the life of us, is manifested, then you will also be manifested together with him in glory.

¹⁹ storing up for themselves a good foundation toward the future, in order that they may grab the everlasting life.

¹⁶ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and is not ashamed of my chain;

⁹ in which I am suffering evil treatment, even as far as bonds, like a criminal, but the word of God has not been bound.

⁸ Furthermore the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will be giving to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹⁶ But now they are aspiring for themselves to a better region, this thing is a heavenly one. Hence God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared a city for them.

² My brethren, deem it with all joy, whenever you fall into various temptations,

⁴ into an incorruptible, undefiled and unfading inheritance having been guarded in the heavens for you;

² Beloved, we are now the children of God and it was not yet manifested what we will be. But we know that, if he is manifested, we will be similar to him, because we will be seeing him just-as he is.

¹¹ Moreover by them your servant is warned. There is great reward in keeping them.

¹² Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is much in the heavens; for thus, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

³² Therefore, everyone who will confess to be in me before men, I will also confess to be in him before my Father, who is in the heavens.

⁴² And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to drink to one of these little ones, in the name of a disciple, assuredly I am saying to you, He may never lose his reward.

¹⁴ and you will be fortunate, because they do not have anything in which to repay you; for you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.

⁵⁸ So-then my beloved brethren, become grounded, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in the Lord.

⁸ Because he who is sowing to his own flesh will be reaping corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing to the Spirit will be reaping everlasting life from the Spirit. ⁹ Now we should not be depressed in well doing; for we will be reaping in our own time, if we do not faint. ¹⁰ Therefore consequently, as we have opportunity, we should work what is the good thing toward all men but especially in the household of the faith.

⁷ Rest in Jehovah and wait patiently for him. Do not inflame yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked devices.

¹ I waited patiently for Jehovah and he inclined to me and heard my cry.

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is practicing the will of my Father, the one in the heavens.

²² And you will be hated by all men because of my name. But he who has endured to the end, this one will be saved.

⁵⁰ For whoever practices the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother and sister and mother.

³¹ Which one out of the two did the will of his father?
They say, The first.
Jesus says to them, Assuredly I am saying to you, that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will precede you into the kingdom of God.

¹³ But he who has endured to the end, this one will be saved.

¹⁵ But that seed in the good soil, these are such as in a good and beautiful heart, having heard the word, hold-onto it and are bearing-fruit with endurance.

¹⁹ You^\'b0 will procure your souls in your endurance.

¹⁷ If anyone is willing to practice his will, he will know concerning the teaching, of what sort it is, whether from God or I speak from myself.

²² And having removed him, he lifted up David to be king to them; to whom he also testified and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will be practicing all my will.

³⁶ For indeed David, having attended to the plan of God in his own generation, fell-asleep and was added to his fathers and saw decay;

⁷ Everlasting life to those who indeed by endurance in good work are seeking glory and honor and incorruption.

³ But not only in this, but we are also boasting in our afflictions, knowing that affliction is working endurance; ⁴ and endurance, approved character, and an approved character, hope;

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, then we are waiting for it through endurance.

² And not to fashion yourselves to this age, but be transfigured by the renewal of your mind, that you may be proving in you what is the will of God: the good and acceptable and mature.

⁴ For as many things as were written beforehand were written beforehand for our instruction, in order that through the endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. ⁵ Now the God of the endurance and the encouragement gives to you to be mindful of the same thing among one another according to Christ Jesus,

⁷ It is forbearing all things, is believing all things, is hoping for all things, is enduring all things.

⁹ Now we should not be depressed in well doing; for we will be reaping in our own time, if we do not faint.

⁶ not according to eye-service, like men-pleasers, but like bondservants of the Christ, practicing the will of God from your soul;

¹¹ being empowered in all power, according to the dominion of his glory, for all endurance and patience with joy,

²⁴ knowing that you will be receiving from the Lord the payment of the inheritance; for you are serving the Lord Christ.

¹² Epaphras, a bondservant of Christ, the one from you, greets you. He is always fighting on your behalf in his prayers, in order that you might stand complete and having been fulfilled in all the will of God.

¹² in order that you should not become sluggish, but imitators of those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.

¹⁵ And thus Abraham, having had patience, obtained the promise.

¹⁷ In which God, planning to show even-more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable will of his plan, intermediated this with an oath;

¹⁵ And because of this, he is the intermediary of a new covenant, that his death having happened for the redemption of the transgressions that were against the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.

¹ Therefore, since we also have so-great a cloud of witnesses encompassing us, let us run through endurance the contest laying before us, placing away from ourselves every interference, and the easily restricting sin.

²¹ may he complete you in every good work, that you should practice his will, doing what is well pleasing in his sight in you, through Jesus Christ in whom is the glory, forevermore. Amen.

³ knowing that the proving of your faith is working out endurance. ⁴ But let endurance have its completed work, in order that you may be complete and whole, deficient in nothing.

⁷ Therefore brethren, have patience until the presence of the Lord. Behold, the farmer is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, having patience over it, until it should receive the morning and evening rainfall. ⁸ You also, have patience; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord has drawn near. ⁹ Brethren, do not groan against one another, in order that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors.
¹⁰ My brethren, take as an example of suffering evil treatment and of patience the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we esteem those fortunate who are enduring. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the end of the Lord, how that he is very affectionate and compassionate.

⁹ getting for yourselves the end of your faith, that is the salvation of your souls.

¹⁷ And the world is passing away and its lust, but he who is practicing the will of God abides forever.

¹⁰ If anyone holds those in captivity, he is going into captivity; if anyone kills with the sword, it is essential for him to be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy-ones.

¹² Here is the endurance of the holy-ones, those who are keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

²⁰ Come, my people, enter you into your chambers and shut your doors around you. Hide yourself for a little moment until the indignation have passed over.

²² The little one will become a thousand and the small one a strong nation. I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.

³ For the vision is yet for the appointed time and it breathes-out toward the end and will not lie. Though it abide, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.
⁴ Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man will live by his faith.)

⁸ I say to you, that he will be doing the avenging on them quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he then be finding the faith upon the earth?

⁷ Therefore brethren, have patience until the presence of the Lord. Behold, the farmer is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, having patience over it, until it should receive the morning and evening rainfall. ⁸ You also, have patience; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord has drawn near. ⁹ Brethren, do not groan against one another, in order that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors.

⁸ But beloved, let this one thing not elude you, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

²⁰ He who is testifying of these things says, Yes, I am coming shortly. Amen.
Yes come, Lord Jesus.

⁴ Because you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil will not journey with you.

⁸ I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, Because he will speak peace to his people and to his holy ones. But do not let them turn again to folly.

⁴ Because Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

²⁰ Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits unrighteousness and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered, but I will require his blood at your hand.

²⁴ But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits unrighteousness and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he will die.

⁴ Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man will live by his faith.)

⁶ and those who are turned back from following Jehovah and those who have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him.

¹⁸ ‘Behold, my young-servant whom I selected. My beloved in whom my soul is delighted. I will be placing my Spirit upon him and he will be proclaiming judgment to the Gentiles.’

²¹ but he does not have root in himself, but is temporary, and when affliction or persecution has happened to him because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to

¹¹ Now it is evident that no one is made righteous in the law before God, because, ‘The righteous will be living from faith.’

¹⁵ The Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and banished us, and were not pleasing to God, and are adverse to all men;

²⁶ For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a zeal of fire which is about to eat the adversaries.

¹⁹ They are promising them freedom, when they themselves are bondservants of corruption. For in what anyone has been succumbed, in this, he has also been enslaved.

¹⁹ They went out away from us, but they were not from us; for if they had been from us, they would have remained with us, but they went out, in order that they might be made manifest that all of them are not from us.

¹¹ I regret that I have set up Saul to be king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments. And Samuel was angry and he cried out to Jehovah all night.

¹⁸ Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps declined from your way,

³² Because the backsliding of the simple will kill them and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.

¹⁴ The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways and a good man from his own fruits.

¹⁶ He who believes and is immersed will be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

²⁶ Then it travels and takes with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they come and dwell there and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.

¹⁵ in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish but may have everlasting life.
¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but may have everlasting life.

²⁴ Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, He who hears my word and believes in the one who sent me, has everlasting life, and is not coming into judgment, but has stepped out of death into the life.

⁴⁰ But this is the will of the one who sent me, in order that everyone who views the Son and believes in him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up in the last day.

¹² When I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in your name whom you have given me. I guarded them and not one out of them perished, except the son of destruction; in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

³¹ but these have been written, in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and in order that believing you may have life in his name.

³⁰ and having led them out, he said, Lords, what is essential for me to do in order that I might be saved?
³¹ Now they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your house.

⁹ that if you confessed the Lord Jesus in your mouth and if you have believed in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for it is believed in the heart toward righteousness and it is confessed with the mouth toward salvation.

⁹ Because God appointed us not for wrath, but for the acquisition of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

³ Do not let anyone deceive you in any manner, because that day will not come, if the apostasy does not come first and the man of sin, the son of destruction, should be revealed.

¹² in order that they all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but were delighted in unrighteousness.
¹³ But we ought to thank God always concerning you brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God himself selected you from the beginning to salvation in holiness of the Spirit and in faith of the truth; ¹⁴ to which he called you through our good-news, for the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ But those who are planning to be rich are falling into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which are submerging men into utter-destruction and everlasting destruction.

⁶ and then having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, because they are again crucifying for themselves the Son of God and disgracing him. ⁷ For the soil, which drank the rainfall, when it has come often upon her, and is bearing forth vegetation fit for those because of whom it is also cultivated, receives blessing from God. ⁸ But when it is bringing forth thorns and thistles, it is unapproved and near to a curse; whose end is for burning.
⁹ But, beloved, we have confidence of the better things concerning you and better things holding salvation, even if we speak so.

²⁶ For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins,

¹ Now faith is the essence of things hoped for, a conviction of matters not seen.

⁵ who are kept through faith in the power of God, into a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁷ But the current heavens and the earth have been stored up for fire by the same word, being kept to the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

⁵ Who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹² These people are hidden-reefs in your love-feasts, sumptuously feasting fearlessly alongside you, shepherding themselves, they are waterless clouds, being carried away by the winds; unfruitful autumn trees, twice dead, having been uprooted, ¹³ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames, misleading stars–for whom the blackness of darkness has been kept forever.

⁸ And those who are dwelling upon the earth will be marveling, those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the conception of the world, when they see the beast, how that he was and is not and will be present.

¹¹ And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is out of the seven, and he is going into destruction.
