¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,

⁷ to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah. ⁸ In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world.

⁸ In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world. ⁹ And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.

⁹ And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers. ¹⁰ And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.

¹³ And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,

³⁰ and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,

⁷ to them who, by perseverance in good works, seek for glory and honor and immortality, to them he will give life eternal;

²⁴ And they are justified gratuitously, by grace, and by the redemption which is in Jesus Messiah; ²⁵ whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed,

⁶ As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works, ⁷ saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up: ⁸ and, Blessed is the man, to whom God will not reckon his sin.

¹² and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision.

¹ Therefore, because we are justified by faith, we shall have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah. ² By whom we are brought by faith into this grace, in which we stand and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in afflictions; because we know that affliction perfecteth in us patience;

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in afflictions; because we know that affliction perfecteth in us patience; ⁴ and patience, experience; and experience, hope: ⁵ and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is diffused in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit who is given to us.

⁵ and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is diffused in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit who is given to us.

⁹ how much more, shall we now be justified by his blood and be rescued from wrath by him? ¹⁰ For if when we were enemies, God was reconciled with us by the death of his Son; how much more shall we, in his reconciliation, lived by his life?

⁴ For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted. ¹⁸ And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to righteousness. ¹⁹ -(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity. ²⁰ For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness. ²¹ And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof is death. ²² And now, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting.

⁴ And now, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law, by the body of Messiah; that ye might be joined to another, even to him who arose from the dead; and might yield fruits unto God.

⁷ Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible. ⁸ And they who are in the flesh cannot Please God.

¹⁰ But if Messiah is in you, the body is dead, in regard to sin; and the Spirit is alive in regard to righteousness.

¹⁷ And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him. ¹⁸ For I reckon, that the sufferings of the present time, are not comparable with the glory which is to be developed in us. ¹⁹ For the whole creation is hoping and waiting for the development of the sons of God.

²⁹ And he knew them, previously; and he sealed them with the likeness of the image of his Son; that He might be the first-born of many brothers.

²⁹ And he knew them, previously; and he sealed them with the likeness of the image of his Son; that He might be the first-born of many brothers. ³⁰ And those whom he previously sealed, them he called: and those whom he called, them he justified: and those whom he justified, them he glorified.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

²³ and made his mercy flow forth upon the vessels of mercy, which were prepared by God for glory;

⁸ But what saith it? The thing is near to thy mouth, and to thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim.

¹⁷ Therefore, faith is from the hearing of the ear; and the hearing of the ear, is from the word of God. ¹⁸ But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.

¹⁸ But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.

¹⁷ And if some of the branches were plucked off; and thou, an olive from the desert, wast in-grafted in their place, and hast become a participator of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;

¹⁵ Yet I have written rather boldly to you, my Brethren, that I might put you in remembrance; because of the grace which is given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Jesus Messiah among the Gentiles, and should subserve the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Jesus Messiah among the Gentiles, and should subserve the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have therefore a glorying in Jesus Messiah, before God. ¹⁸ Yet I presume not to speak of any thing done for the obedience of the Gentiles, which Messiah hath not wrought by me, in word and in deeds, ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem I have made a circuit quite to Illyricum, and have fulfilled the announcement of the Messiah;

¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem I have made a circuit quite to Illyricum, and have fulfilled the announcement of the Messiah; ²⁰ while I was careful not to preach where the name of Messiah had been invoked, lest I should build upon another man's foundation;

²⁷ They were willing, because they were also debtors to them: for if the Gentiles have been participators with them in the Spirit, they are debtors to serve them also in things of the flesh. ²⁸ When therefore, I shall have accomplished this, and shall have sealed to them this fruit, I will pass by you into Spain.

³⁰ And I beseech you, my Brethren, by our Lord Jesus Messiah, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye labor with me in prayer to God for me;

²⁵ Now unto God, who is able to establish you,- (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past,

²⁵ Now unto God, who is able to establish you,- (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past, ²⁶ but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)

²⁶ but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)

¹ PAUL, called and sent by Jesus Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother; ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord:

⁴ I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah; ⁵ that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge;

²³ But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles;

³⁰ And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption :

⁶ Yet we do speak wisdom, among the perfect; the wisdom not of this world, nor of the potentates of this world, who will come to naught. ⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God, in a mystery; the wisdom which was hidden, and which God predetermined before the world was, for our glory:

¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God; that we might know the free gifts, which are given to us by God. ¹³ Which things we also speak; not in the teaching of the words of man's wisdom, but in the teaching of the spirit; and we compare spirituals with spirituals. ¹⁴ For a man in his natural self, receiveth not spirituals; for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them; for they are discerned by the Spirit. ¹⁵ But he that is spiritual, judgeth of all things: and he is judged of by no one.

⁵ For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one as the Lord gave to him?

¹⁶ Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹ Let us be so accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful.

² Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful. ³ But to me, it is a light matter to be judged of by you, or by any man whatever; nay, I am no judge of myself.

¹⁴ I write these things, not to shame you; but I instruct you, as dear children.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he might bring to your recollection my ways in Messiah, agreeably to what I teach in all the churches.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.

²⁵ And concerning virginity, I have no precept from God; but I give counsels as a man who hath obtained mercy from God to be a believer.

⁶ yet to us, on our part, there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we also by him.

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, there is a reward for me: but if involuntarily, a stewardship is intrusted to me.

²³ And this I do, that I may participate in the announcement.

²⁵ For every one who engageth in the contest, restraineth his desires in every thing. And they run, to obtain a crown that perisheth; but we, one that perisheth not. ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as for something unknown; and I so struggle, not as struggling against air; ²⁷ but I subdue my body, and reduce it to servitude; lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a reprobate.

³ And I would have you know, that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Messiah is God.

⁶ And there are diversities of energies; but God, who worketh all in all men, is one.

⁸ To one, by the Spirit, there is given a word of wisdom; and to another, by the same Spirit, there is given a word of knowledge:

¹¹ But all these, worketh that one Spirit; and he distributeth to every one as he pleaseth.

¹³ For these three things are abiding, faith, and hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace, that was in me, was not in vain; but I labored more than they all:-not I, but his grace that was with me.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace, that was in me, was not in vain; but I labored more than they all:-not I, but his grace that was with me. ¹¹ Whether I, therefore, or whether they, so we preached; and so ye believed. ¹² And if the Messiah is proclaimed, as rising from the dead; how is it that there are some among you, who say, There is no reviviscence of the dead?

¹⁹ And if, in this life only, we have hope in the Messiah, we are the most miserable of all men. ²⁰ But now the Messiah hath risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. ²¹ And as by a man came death, so also by a man came the reviviscence of the dead. ²² For as it was by Adam, that all men die, so also by the Messiah they all live: ²³ every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah's, at his coming.

²³ every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah's, at his coming. ²⁴ And then will be the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God the Father; when every prince, and every sovereign, and all powers shall have come to naught. ²⁵ For he is to reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁵ For he is to reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my brethren and my beloved, be ye steadfast, and be not vacillating; but be ye at all times abundant in the work of the Lord; seeing ye know, that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹ PAUL a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the good pleasure of God; and Timothy a brother; to the church of God that is at Corinth, and to all the saints that are in all Achaia.

⁵ For, as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so also our consolation aboundeth by the Messiah. ⁶ And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your life that we are afflicted; or whether we be comforted, it is, that ye may be comforted; and that there may be in you an eagerness, wherewith ye may endure those sufferings which we also suffer. ⁷ And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know, that if ye partake of the sufferings, ye will also partake of the consolation. ⁸ But, my brethren, we wish you to know, respecting the affliction that was upon us in Asia, that we were afflicted exceedingly, beyond our strength, insomuch that our life was ready to terminate.

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, who always procureth us a triumph in the Messiah, and manifesteth by us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

⁶ who hath fitted us to be ministers of the new Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.

¹ Therefore, we are not weary in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that have been upon us:

⁴ to them whose minds the God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them. ⁵ For it is not ourselves that we preach, but the Messiah, Jesus our Lord; and, as to ourselves, that we are your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself shined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus the Messiah. ⁷ But we have this treasure in an earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power might be from God, and not from us. ⁸ And in every thing we are oppressed, but not suffocated; we are corrected, but not condemned; ⁹ we are persecuted, but not forsaken; we are prostrated, but perish not. ¹⁰ For we bear in our body, at all times, the dying of Jesus; that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For if we are delivered over alive unto death, for Jesus' sake, even so also will the life of Jesus be manifested in this our mortal body. ¹² Now therefore, in us death is active, but in you, life.

¹⁷ For the affliction of the present time, though very small and light, prepareth for us great glory, without end, for ever and ever;

⁵ And he that prepareth us for this thing, is God: who hath given us the earnest of his Spirit.

⁹ We are assiduous, that whether we are absent, or whether at home, we may please him.

¹⁸ and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

¹⁸ and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. ¹⁹ For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.

¹⁹ For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.

¹⁹ For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God.

²⁰ We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

¹ And as aiders we entreat of you, that the grace of God which ye have received, may not be ineffectual in you.

⁴ But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses, ⁵ in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting;

⁵ in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting; ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by benignity, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, ⁷ by the speaking of truth, by the energy of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left;

¹⁶ or what agreement hath the temple of God with that of demons? For ye are the temple of the living God; as it is said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come ye out from among them, and be ye separate from them, saith the Lord; and come not near the unclean thing, and I will receive you; ¹⁸ and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be sons and daughters to me, saith the Lord Almighty.

⁴ I have great assurance before you, and have much glorying in you; and I am full of comfort. And joy greatly aboundeth to me, in all my afflictions.

⁷ And not merely by his arrival, but also by the refreshing with which he was refreshed by you. For he told us of your love towards us, and of your grief, and of your zeal in our behalf: and when I heard it, my joy was great.

⁸ For it is in the power of God, to make all good abound to you, so that ye may have, at all times, and in every thing, what is sufficient for you; and may abound in every good work.

¹⁴ For we do not stretch ourselves, as if not reaching to you; for we do reach as far as you in the annunciation of the Messiah.

² For I am jealous over you, with a godly jealousy for I have espoused you to a husband as a chaste virgin, whom I would present to the Messiah.

²³ If they are ministers of the Messiah, (in defect of understanding, I say it,) I am superior to them: in toils more than they, in stripes more than they, in bonds more than they, in deaths many times.

²³ If they are ministers of the Messiah, (in defect of understanding, I say it,) I am superior to them: in toils more than they, in stripes more than they, in bonds more than they, in deaths many times. ²⁴ By the Jews, five times was I scourged, each time with forty stripes save one. ²⁵ Three times was I beaten with rods: at one time I was stoned: three times I was in shipwreck, by day and by night; I have been in the sea, without a ship. ²⁶ In journeyings many, in peril by rivers, in peril by robbers, in peril from my kindred, in peril from Gentiles: I have been in peril in cities; I have been in peril in the desert, in peril in the sea, in peril from false brethren. ²⁷ In toil and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and nakedness:

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is perfected in weakness. Gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of the Messiah may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I have pleasure in infirmities, in reproach, in afflictions, in persecutions, in distresses, which are for the Messiah's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

³ because ye demand proof, that it is the Messiah that speaketh by me, who hath not been powerless among you, but powerful among you.

³ Grace be with you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

¹⁵ But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son by me, that I should proclaim him among the Gentiles; forthwith, I did not open it to flesh and blood;

⁷ But, otherwise; for they saw, that the gospel of the uncircumcision was intrusted to me, as to Cephas was intrusted that of the circumcision. ⁸ For he that was operative with Cephas in the legateship of the circumcision, was also operative with me in the legateship of the Gentiles.

²⁰ And henceforth it is no more I who live, but the Messiah liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁹ Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham.

¹³ But the Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, and hath been a curse for us; (for it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hanged on a tree;)

¹¹ I am afraid, lest I have labored among you in vain.

¹⁹ Ye are my children, of whom I travail in birth again, till the Messiah be formed in you.

⁵ For we, through the Spirit, which is from faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love. ⁷ Ye did run well: who hath interrupted you, that ye acquiesce not in the truth?

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, long suffering, suavity, kindness, fidelity, modesty, patience.

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, long suffering, suavity, kindness, fidelity, modesty, patience. ²³ Against these there standeth no law.

⁹ And while we do what is good, let it not be wearisome to us; for the time will come when we shall reap, and it will not be tedious to us.

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, by the Messiah: ⁴ according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself; ⁵ and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure: ⁶ that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One; ⁷ by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.

¹⁰ in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth. ¹¹ And in him we are elected, according as he predestined us and willed, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his pleasure;

¹³ In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,

¹⁵ Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,

¹⁵ Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints, ¹⁶ cease not to give thanks on your account, and to remember you in my prayers; ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him; ¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints; ¹⁹ and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,

¹⁹ and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,

¹⁹ and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power, ²⁰ which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,

²⁰ which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven, ²¹ high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: ²² and he hath subjected all things under his feet; and hath given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church; ²³ which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:

²³ which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:

¹ and also you, he filleth, who were dead in your sins, and in your offences, ² in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience: ³ in which deeds we also, formerly, were conversant, in the cravings of our flesh; and we did the pleasure of our flesh, and of our mind, and were altogether the children of wrath, like the rest.

³ in which deeds we also, formerly, were conversant, in the cravings of our flesh; and we did the pleasure of our flesh, and of our mind, and were altogether the children of wrath, like the rest. ⁴ But God who is rich in his mercies, because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ when we were dead in our sins, quickened us with the Messiah, and rescued us by his grace; ⁶ and resuscitated us with him, and seated us with him in heaven, in Jesus the Messiah: ⁷ that he might show to the coming ages the magnitude of the riches of his grace, and his benignity towards us in Jesus the Messiah. ⁸ For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God: ⁹ not of works, lest any one glory. ¹⁰ For we are his creation; who are created in Jesus the Messiah, for good works, which God hath before prepared for us to walk in.

¹⁰ For we are his creation; who are created in Jesus the Messiah, for good works, which God hath before prepared for us to walk in.

¹² And ye were, at that time, without the Messiah; and were aliens from the regulations of Israel; and strangers to the covenant of the promise; and were without hope, and without God, in the world. ¹³ But now, by Jesus the Messiah, ye who before were afar off, have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. ¹⁴ For he is himself our peace, who hath made the two become one, and hath demolished the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, by his flesh; ¹⁵ and by his prescriptions he hath abolished the law of ordinances; that, in himself, he might make the two to be one new man; and he hath made peace,

¹⁵ and by his prescriptions he hath abolished the law of ordinances; that, in himself, he might make the two to be one new man; and he hath made peace, ¹⁶ and hath reconciled both with God, in one body, and hath slain the enmity by his cross.

¹⁶ and hath reconciled both with God, in one body, and hath slain the enmity by his cross. ¹⁷ And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near:

¹⁹ Wherefore, ye are not strangers, nor sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.

²¹ And in him all the edifice is framed together, and groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

¹ On this account, I Paul am a prisoner of Jesus the Messiah, for the sake of you Gentiles: ² if so be, ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which was given to me among you: ³ that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, (as I have now written to you in brief, ⁴ so that while ye read, ye might be able to understand my knowledge of the mystery of the Messiah,) ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy legates and to his prophets, by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be sharers. of his inheritance, and partakers of his body, and of the promise which is given in him by the gospel;

⁶ that the Gentiles should be sharers. of his inheritance, and partakers of his body, and of the promise which is given in him by the gospel; ⁷ of which I have been a minister, according to the gift of the goodness of God, which was imparted to me by the operation of his power:

⁷ of which I have been a minister, according to the gift of the goodness of God, which was imparted to me by the operation of his power:

⁷ of which I have been a minister, according to the gift of the goodness of God, which was imparted to me by the operation of his power: ⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah, ⁹ and should show to all men what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages was hid up in God the Creator of all things: ¹⁰ so that, by means of the church, the manifold wisdom of God might become known to the principalities and powers that are in heaven:

¹³ Therefore I pray, that I may not be discouraged by my afflictions, which are for your sakes; for this is your glory. ¹⁴ And I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, ¹⁵ from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named; ¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man ¹⁷ the Messiah may dwell by faith, and in your hearts by love, while your root and your foundation waxeth strong;

¹⁷ the Messiah may dwell by faith, and in your hearts by love, while your root and your foundation waxeth strong;

¹⁷ the Messiah may dwell by faith, and in your hearts by love, while your root and your foundation waxeth strong; ¹⁸ and that ye may be able to explore, with all the saints, what is the height and depth, and length and breadth, ¹⁹ and may know the greatness of the Messiah's love; and that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God. ²⁰ Now to him who is able, by his almighty power, to do for us even more than we ask or think, according to his power that worketh in us;

¹ I therefore, a prisoner in our Lord, beseech of you, that ye walk, (as it becometh the calling wherewith ye are called,) ² with all lowliness of mind, and quietness, and long suffering; and that ye be forbearing one towards another, in love.

⁶ and one God is the Father of all, and over all, and by all, and in us all.

¹⁰ He who descended, is also the same that ascended up, high above all the heavens, that he might fulfill all things. ¹¹ And he gave some, legates; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers: ¹² for perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of the Messiah; ¹³ until we all become one and the same, in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and one complete man according to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah:

¹³ until we all become one and the same, in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and one complete man according to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah:

¹⁵ but that we might be established in our love; and that every thing in us might progress in the Messiah, who is the head: ¹⁶ and from him it is, the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love.

¹⁶ and from him it is, the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love.

¹⁸ and they are dark in their understandings, and are alienated from the life of God, because there is not in them knowledge, and because of the blindness of their heart.

²¹ if ye have truly heard him, and by him have learned as the truth is in Jesus.

²³ and should be renewed in the spirit of your minds;

³² and be ye affectionate towards one another, and sympathetic; and forgive ye one another, as God by the Messiah hath forgiven us.

² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor.

⁴ Neither obscenities, nor words of folly, or of division, or of scurrility, which are not useful; but instead of these, thanksgiving.

⁸ For ye were heretofore darkness, but now are ye light in our Lord: therefore, as the children of light, so walk ye. ⁹ For the fruits of the light are in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth. ¹⁰ And search out what is pleasing before our Lord:

¹⁵ See therefore, that ye walk circumspectly; not like the simple,

¹⁷ Therefore, be not lacking in understanding; but understand ye what is the pleasure of God.

²⁰ And give thanks to God the Father, at all times, for all men, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ²¹ And be submissive one to another, in the love of the Messiah.

²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife, even as the Messiah is the head of the church; and he is the vivifier of the body.

²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish.

⁶ Not in the sight of the eye, as if ye were pleasing men; but as the servants of the Messiah, who are doing the will of God.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in our Lord, and; in the energy of his power:

¹² For our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, and with those in authority, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits that are beneath heaven.

²¹ And that ye also may know my affairs, and what I am doing, lo, Tychicus, a beloved brother, and a faithful minister in our Lord, will acquaint you;

¹ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus the Messiah, to all the saints that are in Jesus the Messiah at Philippi, with the elders and deacons.

³ I thank my God at the constant recollection of you, ⁴ in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore;

⁴ in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore; ⁵ on account of your fellowship in the gospel, from the first day until now.

⁹ And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and In all spiritual understanding: ¹⁰ so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah, ¹¹ and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus the Messiah, to the praise and glory of God.

¹¹ and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus the Messiah, to the praise and glory of God.

¹⁵ And they herald it, some from envy and contention; but others with good will, and with love for the Messiah; ¹⁶ because they know that I am appointed for the vindication of the gospel. ¹⁷ And they who herald the Messiah in contention, do it not sincerely; but they hope to add pressure to my bonds. ¹⁸ And in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every form, whether in pretence or in truth, the Messiah is heralded.

²⁷ Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel.

³⁰ and that ye endure conflict, as ye have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.

⁶ who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God;

¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth;

¹³ For God is operating in you, both to purpose, and also to perform that which ye desire.

¹⁶ so that ye may be to them in place of life; for my glory in the day of the Messiah, that I may not have run in vain or toiled for naught. ¹⁷ And if I should be made a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and exult with you all. ¹⁸ And so also do ye rejoice and exult with me. ¹⁹ But I hope in our Lord Jesus, that I shall shortly send Timothy unto you, so that I also may have composure, when informed concerning you. ²⁰ For I have no other one here, who, like my self, will sincerely care for your welfare. ²¹ For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus the Messiah. ²² But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, so he labored with me in the gospel.

²⁵ But now, a circumstance urged me to send to you Epaphroditus, the brother who is an assistant and laborer with me, but is your legate and minister to my wants.

¹⁰ that thereby I might know Jesus, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death:

⁶ Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God.

¹³ I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengtheneth me.

¹⁷ Not that I desire a gift; but I wish fruits may multiply unto you. ¹⁸ I have now received all, and I abound, and am full: and I accepted all that ye sent to me by Epaphroditus, a sweet odor, and an acceptable sacrifice that pleaseth God. ¹⁹ And may God supply all your necessity, according to his riches, in the glory of Jesus the Messiah.

³ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, at all times, and pray for you; ⁴ lo, ever since we heard of your faith in Jesus the Messiah, and of your love to all the saints;

⁴ lo, ever since we heard of your faith in Jesus the Messiah, and of your love to all the saints; ⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye heard before in the word of truth of the gospel;

⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye heard before in the word of truth of the gospel; ⁶ which is announced to you, as also to all the world; and which groweth and yieldeth fruits, as it doth also among you from the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in reality:

⁶ which is announced to you, as also to all the world; and which groweth and yieldeth fruits, as it doth also among you from the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in reality:

⁹ Therefore we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray for you; and to ask that ye may be filled with a knowledge of the good pleasure of God, in all wisdom, and in all spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that ye may walk as is right, and may please God with all good works, and may yield fruits, and grow in the knowledge of God;

¹³ and hath rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son;

¹⁵ who is the likeness of the invisible God, and the first-born of all creatures: ¹⁶ and by him was created every thing that is in heaven and on earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or sovereignties; every thing was through him, and was created by him: ¹⁷ and he was prior to all, and by him every thing exists. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body the church; as he is the head and first-born from among the dead, that he might be the first in all things.

²⁰ and by him, to reconcile all things to himself; and through him, he hath pacified, with the blood of his cross, both those on earth and those in heaven. ²¹ And also to you, who were before alienated and enemies in your minds, because of your evil deeds, ²² to you, he hath now given peace, by the body of his flesh, and by his death; that he might establish you in his presence, holy, without blemish, and without offence;

²² to you, he hath now given peace, by the body of his flesh, and by his death; that he might establish you in his presence, holy, without blemish, and without offence; ²³ provided ye continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister. ²⁴ And I rejoice in the sufferings which are for your sakes; and, in my flesh, I fill up the deficiency in the afflictions of the Messiah, in behalf of his body, which is the church; ²⁵ of which I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me among you, that I should fulfill the word of God,

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which mystery is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

¹ And I wish you to know, what a struggle I have for you, and for them of Laodicea, and for the others who have not seen my face in the flesh; ² that their hearts may be comforted, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah, ³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

⁶ As therefore ye have received Jesus the Messiah our Lord, walk ye in him, ⁷ strengthening your roots and building up yourselves in him, and establishing yourselves in the faith which ye have learned, in which may ye abound in thanksgiving.

⁹ in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity corporeally. ¹⁰ And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities.

¹⁰ And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities. ¹¹ And in him ye have been circumcised with a circumcision without hands, by casting off the flesh of sins, by a circumcision of the Messiah. ¹² And ye have been buried with him, by baptism; and by it ye have risen with him; while ye believed in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who were dead in your sins, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath vivified with him; and he hath forgiven us all our sins:

¹³ And you, who were dead in your sins, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath vivified with him; and he hath forgiven us all our sins: ¹⁴ and, by his mandates, he blotted out the handwriting of our debts, which handwriting existed against us, and took it from the midst, and affixed it to his cross. ¹⁵ And, by yielding up his body, he showed contempt for principalities and authorities; and put them to shame, openly, in his own person.

¹⁹ and holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given of God.

¹¹ where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, neither Greek nor barbarian, neither bond nor free; but the Messiah is all, and in all.

¹³ And be ye indulgent towards one another, and forgiving to one another: and if any one has a complaint against his neighbor, as the Messiah forgave you, so also do ye forgive.

¹⁵ And let the peace of the Messiah direct your hearts; for to that ye have been called, in one body; and be ye thankful to the Messiah. ¹⁶ And let his word dwell in you richly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves, by psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and with grace in your hearts sing ye unto God. ¹⁷ And whatever ye do in word or act, do it in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and give thanksgiving through him to God the Father.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in every thing; for this is pleasing before our Lord.

⁵ Walk in wisdom towards them without: and redeem your opportunity.

⁷ And what is occurrent with me, will Tychicus make known to you; who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister, and our fellow-servant in the Lord:

¹² Epaphras saluteth you, who is from among you, a servant of the Messiah, always laboring for you in prayer, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the good pleasure of God.

¹ I PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father and in our Lord Jesus the Messiah: Grace be with you, and peace. ² We give thanks to God at all times, on account of you all, and remember you continually in our prayers: ³ and we call to mind before God the Father the works of your faith, and the toil of your love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁵ For our preaching among you, was not in words only; but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in genuine persuasion. Ye also know, how we were among you for your sakes.

⁹ For ye recollect, brethren, that we labored and toiled, working with our own hands, by night and by day, that we might not be chargeable to any one of you.

¹² and we charged you, to walk as it becometh God, who hath called you to his kingdom and his glory. ¹³ Therefore also we give thanks unceasingly to God, that the word of God which ye received from us, ye did not receive as the word of men, but as being truly the word of God, which worketh efficiently in you and in them that believe.

² and to send to you Timothy our brother, a servant of God, and our assistant in the announcement of the Messiah; that he might strengthen you, and inquire of you respecting your faith: ³ lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto.

³ lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto. ⁴ For also when we were with you, we forewarned you, that we were to be afflicted; as ye know did occur. ⁵ Therefore also I could not be quiet, until I sent to learn your faith; lest the Tempter should have tempted you, and our labor have been in vain. ⁶ But now, since Timothy hath come to us from among you, and hath informed us respecting your faith and your love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us at all times, and that ye desire to see us, even as we to see you;

¹⁰ unless it be, that we the more supplicate before God, by night and by day, that we may see your faces, and may perfect what is lacking in your faith? ¹¹ And may God our Father, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, direct our way unto you; ¹² and increase and enlarge your love towards one another, and towards all men, even as we love you; ¹³ and establish your hearts unblamable in holiness, before God our Father; at the advent of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, with all his saints.

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, I entreat you, and beseech you by our Lord Jesus, that, as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God, so ye would make progress more and more.

⁶ and that ye dare not to transgress and to overreach any one his brother, in this matter; because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as also we have said and testified to you in time past. ⁷ For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification.

⁹ Now concerning love to the brethren, ye need not that I should write to you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. ¹⁰ Ye likewise do so, to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but I entreat you, my brethren, to be exuberant:

⁸ But let us who are children of the day, be wakeful in mind, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and take the helmet of the hope of life.

¹² And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye recognize them who labor among you, and who stand before your faces in our Lord, and instruct you : ¹³ that they may be esteemed by you with abundant love; and, on account of their work, live ye in harmony with them. ¹⁴ And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye admonish the faulty, and encourage the faint-hearted, and bear the burdens of the weak, and be long suffering towards all men.

¹⁷ And pray without ceasing.

¹ PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus the Messiah:

³ We are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren, as it is proper; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and, in you all, the love of each for his fellow increaseth.

¹¹ Therefore we pray for you, at all times; that God would make you worthy of your calling, and would fill you with all readiness for good deeds, and with the works of faith by power;

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith in the truth.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his grace,

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word, and in every good work.

⁸ Neither did we eat bread gratuitously from any of you; but, with toil and weariness, we labored by night and by day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you.

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;

¹² And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;

¹⁵ Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.

¹⁷ And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time, ⁷ of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.

² And an elder ought to be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive;

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught.

¹⁶ who only is incorruptible, and dwelleth in light to which no one can approach; and whom no man hath seen, or even can see: to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

³ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I continually remember thee in my prayers, by night and by day:

³ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I continually remember thee in my prayers, by night and by day: ⁴ and I desire to see thee, and I call to mind thy tears; that I may be filled with joy,

⁷ For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of energy, and of love, and of instruction. ⁸ Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure evils in connection with the Gospel, through the power of God;

¹⁰ and is now made known by the appearing of our Vivifier, Jesus the Messiah; who hath abolished death, and hath made manifest life and immortality, by the gospel: ¹¹ of which I am constituted a herald and a legate, and a teacher of the Gentiles. ¹² Therefore I suffer these things: and I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is competent to keep for me my deposit against that day.

¹ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is by Jesus the Messiah. ² And the things thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these commit thou to faithful men, who are competent to teach others also.

² And the things thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these commit thou to faithful men, who are competent to teach others also. ³ And endure evils, as a good soldier of Jesus the Messiah. ⁴ No man, on becoming a soldier, entangleth himself with the business of the world; that he may please him who enlisted him.

⁹ in which I suffer evils unto bonds, as if an evil-doer: but the word of God is not in bonds. ¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory.

²⁴ And a servant of our Lord ought not to contend, but to be mild towards every one, and instructive, and patient; ²⁵ that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth,

² Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness. ³ For the time will come, when they will not give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing; ⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables. ⁵ But be thou vigilant in all things; and endure evils, and do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill thy ministry.

⁵ But be thou vigilant in all things; and endure evils, and do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill thy ministry. ⁶ But I am soon to be immolated; and the time of my dissolution hath come.

⁸ and henceforth there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, with which my Lord, the righteous Judge, will recompense me in that day; and not me only, but them also who love his manifestation.

² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world;

¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience. ¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men; ¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God,

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

¹ And admonish them to be submissive and obedient to princes and potentates; and that they be ready for every good work;

³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another.

³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed,

⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver:

⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver: ⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

¹⁴ And let our people learn also to perform good works, on occasions of emergency, that they may not be unfruitful.

¹ These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.

⁴ I thank my God always, and remember thee in my prayers, ⁵ lo, from the time that I heard of thy faith, and of the love thou hast towards our Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints;

²³ Epaphras, a fellow-captive with me in Jesus the Messiah, saluteth thee;

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; ³ who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

⁵ For to which of the angels did God ever say, Thou art my SON, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? ⁶ And again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.

⁶ And again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.

¹⁰ And again, Thou hast from the beginning laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands: ¹¹ they will pass away, but thou endurest; and they all, like a robe, wax old; ¹² and like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.

¹⁰ For it became him, by whom are all things, and on account of whom are all things, and who bringeth many sons unto his glory, to perfect the prince of their life by suffering.

¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan;

¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people.

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who are called with a calling that is from heaven, consider this Legate and High Priest of our profession, Jesus the Messiah: ² who was faithful to him that made him, as was Moses in all his house. ³ For much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice. ⁴ For every house is built by some man; but he who buildeth all things is God.

⁶ but the Messiah as the SON, is over his own house; and we are his house, if we retain unto the end assurance, and the triumph of hope in him.

¹⁴ For we have part with the Messiah, if we persevere in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end:

¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, Jesus the Messiah, the son of God, who hath ascended to heaven; let us persevere in professing him.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints.

¹⁹ which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,

¹⁹ For the law perfected nothing; but in the place of it there came in a hope, which is better than it, and by which we draw near to God.

¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption.

²² because every thing, according to the law, is purified with blood: and without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.

¹⁰ For by this his pleasure, we are sanctified; through the offering of the body of Jesus the Messiah a single time.

¹² But this Priest offered one sacrifice for sins, and for ever sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ and thenceforth waited, until his foes should be placed as a footstool under his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering, he hath perfected for ever, them who are sanctified by him.

¹⁴ For by one offering, he hath perfected for ever, them who are sanctified by him.

²⁰ which he hath now consecrated for us, through the veil, that is his flesh.

³⁴ and ye were grieved for those who were imprisoned; and ye cheerfully endured the plundering of your goods, because ye knew that ye had a possession in heaven, superior and not transitory. ³⁵ Therefore cast not away your assurance which is to have a great reward. ³⁶ For ye have need of patience; that ye may do the pleasure of God, and may receive the promise.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience; that ye may do the pleasure of God, and may receive the promise. ³⁷ Because, yet a little,and it is a very little time,when he that cometh, will come, and will not delay. ³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him.

³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him.

⁵ By faith, Enoch was translated, and did not taste death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for, before he translated him, there was testimony of him, that he pleased God.

²⁷ By faith, he left Egypt, and was not terrified by the wrath of the king; and he continued to hope, just as if he saw the invisible God.

³⁴ and quenched the force of fire, and were rescued from the edge of the sword, and were healed of diseases, and became strong in battle, and routed the camps of enemies, ³⁵ and restored to women their children, by a resurrection from the dead. And some died under tortures, and did not hope to escape, that there might be for them a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others endured mockings and, scourgings; others were delivered up to bonds and prisons; ³⁷ others were stoned; others were sawed; others died by the edge of the sword; others roamed about clothed in sheep skins and goat skins, and were needy, and afflicted, and agitated; ³⁸ persons of whom the world was not worthy, and yet they were as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in caves, and in caverns of the earth.

¹ Therefore let us also, who have all these witnesses surrounding us like clouds, cast from us all encumbrances, and sin, which is always prepared for us; and let us run with patience the race that is appointed for us. ² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God.

⁴ Ye have not yet come unto blood, in the contest against sin.

²³ and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven and to God the judge of all; and to the spirits of the just, who are perfected;

⁸ Jesus the Messiah is the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever.

¹⁶ And forget not commiseration and communication with the poor; for with such sacrifices a man pleaseth God.

²⁰ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, ²¹ make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

² Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials.

² Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials. ³ For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience. ⁴ And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing. ⁵ And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will be given him.

⁹ For with it, we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who were made in the image of God:

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above, is pure, and full of peace, and mild, and submissive, and full of compassion and of good fruits, and without partiality, and without respect of persons.

⁴ Ye adulterers, know ye not, that the love of the world is hostility towards God? He therefore who chooseth to be a lover of this world, is the enemy of God.

⁷ But, my brethren, be ye patient until the advent of the Lord; like the husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruits of his ground, and is patient as to them, until he receive the early and the latter rain. ⁸ So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh

² to them who have been chosen, by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus the Messiah: May grace and peace abound towards you.

⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah: ²⁰ who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes; ²¹ who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; that your faith and hope might be in God, ²² while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;

²² while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart; ²³ like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever.

² And be like infant children; and crave the word, as being the pure spiritual milk by which ye are nourished up to life;

⁹ But ye are an elect race, officiating as priests of the kingdom; a holy people, a redeemed congregation; that ye should proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness to his precious light:

¹⁵ For so is the pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God:

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord the Messiah, in your hearts. And be ye ready for a vindication, before every one who demandeth of you an account of the hope of your faith,

¹⁸ For the Messiah also once died for our sins, the righteous for sinners; that he might bring you to God. And he died in body, but lived in spirit.

²² who is taken up to heaven, and is on the right hand of God, and angels, and authorities, and powers, are subject to him.

² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.

¹ And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you:

¹² These as I account them few things, I have written to you by Sylvanus, a faithful brother. And I would persuade, and would testify, that this is the true grace of God, this in which ye stand.

² May grace and peace abound to you through the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,

² May grace and peace abound to you through the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, ³ as the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence:

⁶ and to knowledge, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God;

⁸ For, while these are found in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁸ For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error. ¹⁹ And they promise them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved. ²⁰ For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. ²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them. ²² But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, as ye expect these things, strive that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot and without blemish. ¹⁵ And account the long suffering of the Lord to be redemption; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom conferred on him, wrote to you;

¹⁸ But be ye growing in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, and of God the Father: whose is the glory, now, and always, and to the days of eternity. Amen.

¹ WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life.

³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.

⁹ But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity.

² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.

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

¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

¹⁷ And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever.

²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him.

¹ And ye see, how great is the love of the Father towards us, who hath called us sons, and made us such. Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it likewise knoweth him not. ² My beloved, now are we the sons of God; and hitherto, it hath not appeared what we are to be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, and we shall see him as he is. ³ And every one that hath this hope from him, purifieth himself, as he is pure.

³ And every one that hath this hope from him, purifieth himself, as he is pure.

⁸ And he that committeth sin, is of Satan; because Satan was a sinner from the beginning: and for this cause, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of Satan.

¹⁴ We know that we have turned from death unto life, by this, that we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

²² And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do acceptable things before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us.

⁴ But ye children, are of God; and ye have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you, than he who is in the world.

⁹ By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live. ¹⁰ In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified concerning thy integrity, even as thou walkest in the truth. ⁴ And I have no greater joy, than to hear that my children walk in the truth.

² Mercy and peace in love, be multiplied to you.

²⁴ And to him who is able to preserve you faultless, and spotless, and to establish you without a blemish, ²⁵ before his majesty, with joy, namely, the only God, our Deliverer, by means of Jesus the Messiah our Lord, be praise, and dominion, and honor, and majesty, both now and in all ages. Amen.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and quietude, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood;

⁸ I am Alpha, also Omega, saith the Lord God; who is, and was, and is to come, the omnipotent.

¹¹ That which thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not: I am the First and the Last; ¹⁸ and who liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of death and of the unseen world.

³ And thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, and hast not fainted.

⁸ And to the angel of the church which is at Smyrna, write: These things saith the First and the Last, he who was dead, and liveth.

¹⁰ Be not terrified at any of the things thou art to suffer. For lo, the Accuser will throw some of you into custody, that ye may be tried; and there will be trouble to you ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church which is at Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the witness, the faithful, the true, the Chief of the creation of God:

²⁰ Behold, I have been standing at the door, and I will knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ and thou hast made them kings and priests to our God; and they reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard, as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne, and the Animals and the Elders; and the number of them was a myriad of myriads, and thousand of thousands, ¹² who said, with a loud voice; Competent is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing; ¹³ and to be over every created thing, that is in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, or in the sea; and all that are in them. And I heard him who sat on the throne say: Unto the Lamb be given, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.

¹³ and to be over every created thing, that is in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, or in the sea; and all that are in them. And I heard him who sat on the throne say: Unto the Lamb be given, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four Animals said: Amen. And the Elders fell down, and adored.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were voices and thunders, which said: The kingdom of the world hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah; and he will reign for ever and ever.

⁴ These are they who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are they who followed the Lamb, whithersoever he went. These have been redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and the Lamb.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

⁶ And he said to me: I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Completion: to him who thirsteth, will I give of the fountain of living water, gratis.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun or of the moon, to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is the lamps of it.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun or of the moon, to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is the lamps of it. ²⁴ And the nations that were saved, shall walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and the wealth of the nations into it.

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of the light of a candle, or of the light of the sun; because the Lord God giveth them light: and they will reign for ever and ever.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Commencement and the Completion. ¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
