⁴ Or wilt thou abuse the riches of his benevolence, and his long suffering, and the opportunity which he giveth thee? And dost thou not know, that the benevolence of God should bring thee to repentance?

⁴ Far be it: for God is veracious, and every man false: as it is written: That thou mightest be upright, in thy declarations; and be found pure, when they judge thee.

¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified before him: for, by the law, sin is known.

²² even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Messiah, for every one, and on every one, that believeth in him: for there is no distinction;

²⁷ Where then is glorying? It is annihilated. By what law? by that of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

²⁰ And the entrance given to the law, was that sin might increase: and where sin increased, there grace abounded.

¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹³ And also give not up your members as instruments of evil unto sin, but give up yourselves to God, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of God.

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.

⁹ And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;

² For the law of the spirit of life, which is in Jesus Messiah, hath emancipated thee from the law of sin and death.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage, again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Father, our Father.

⁴ who are sons of Israel, to whom belonged the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministration, and the promises, and the fathers;

³ For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

¹⁹ But I say: Did not Israel know? First, Moses said, thus: I will awaken your emulation, by a people which is not a people; and by a disobedient people, I will provoke you. ²⁰ And Isaiah was bold, and said: I was seen by those who sought me not; and I was found by those who inquired not for me. ²¹ But to Israel, he said: All the day, have I stretched out my hands to a contentious and disobedient people.

¹ But I say: Hath God cast off his people? Far be it. For I also am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

¹⁵ For if the rejection of them, was a reconciliation of the world; what will their conversion be, but life from the dead?

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and then received from him?

¹⁵ Rejoice with them who rejoice: and weep with them who weep.

¹³ And let us walk decorously, as in daylight; not in merriment, nor in drunkenness, nor in impurity of the bed, nor in envy and strife. ¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites.

¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites.

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercies upon them, as it is written: I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing psalms. ¹⁰ And again he said: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again he said: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye nations. ¹² And again Isaiah said: There will be a root of Jesse; and he that shall arise, will be a prince for the Gentiles; and in him will the Gentiles hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, by faith; that ye may abound in his hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

⁹ I wrote to you by letter, not to commingle with whoremongers. ¹⁰ But I say not, with the whoremongers who are in the world, nor speak I of the avaricious, or of the rapacious, or of the idol-worshippers, otherwise ye would be obliged to go out of the world. ¹¹ But this is what I wrote to you, that ye commingle not, if any one is called a brother, and is a whoremonger, or avaricious, or an idol-worshipper, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with him who is such, not even to eat bread.

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.

¹² And if ye thus sin against your brethren, and wound the consciences of the feeble, ye sin against the Messiah.

²⁶ so that, when one member is in pain, they will all sympathize; and if one member is exalted, all the members will be exalted.

⁹ I am the least of the legates; and am not worthy to be called a legate; because I persecuted the church of God.

¹⁴ For the love of the Messiah constraineth us to reason thus: One died for all; therefore are all dead. ¹⁵ And he died for all, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose again.

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.

¹⁰ For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death.

¹² For before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they came, he withdrew himself, and separated; because he was afraid of them of the circumcision.

²⁷ For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah.

⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law; and that we might receive the adoption of sons. ⁶ And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father.

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, ¹⁴ who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for the praise of his glory.

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,

¹ and also you, he filleth, who were dead in your sins, and in your offences,

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:

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.

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,

⁴ But God who is rich in his mercies, because of the great love with which he loved us,

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;

⁵ when we were dead in our sins, quickened us with the Messiah, and rescued us by his grace;

⁵ when we were dead in our sins, quickened us with the Messiah, and rescued us by his grace;

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:

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.

¹³ But now, by Jesus the Messiah, ye who before were afar off, have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.

¹⁷ And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near:

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:

¹⁷ And this I say, and testify in the Lord, that henceforth ye walk not as the other Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their mind: 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. ¹⁹ They have cut off their hope, and have given themselves over to lasciviousness, and to the practice of all uncleanness in their greediness.

²² But ye have learned, that ye should lay aside your former practices, the old man that is corrupted with the lusts of error; ²³ and should be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴ and should put on the new man, that is created by God in righteousness and in the holiness of truth.

¹¹ And have no commerce with the works of darkness which are unfruitful, but reprove them. ¹² For the things they do in secret, it is nauseous even to mention.

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and the Messiah will illuminate thee.

¹⁵ and defend your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

⁴ in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore;

¹⁷ And if I should be made a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and exult with you all.

⁴ And yet I might place reliance on the flesh. For, if any one thinketh that his reliance should be on the flesh, I might do so more than he. ⁵ Circumcised when eight days old; of the stock of Israel; of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew, descendant of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault.

⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault. ⁷ But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah.

¹ Wherefore, my beloved and dear brethren, my joy and my crown!-so stand ye fast in our Lord, my beloved!

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:

⁵ Mortify therefore your members that are on the earth; whoredom, impurity, and the passions, and evil concupiscence, and avarice which is idolatry. ⁶ For on account of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. ⁷ And in these things ye also formerly walked, when ye lived in them.

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.

¹⁶ and they forbid us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may have life; to fill up their sins at all times. And wrath cometh on them to the uttermost.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, and our joy, and the crown of our glorying; unless it be ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

⁷ therefore we are comforted in you, my brethren, amid all our straits and afflictions, on account of your faith. ⁸ And now, we live, if ye stand fast in our Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we are joyful on your account;

¹³ me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith. ¹⁴ And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah. 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.

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. ¹⁶ But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal.

⁶ But she who followeth pleasure, is dead while she liveth.

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, ²⁶ and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.

²⁶ and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.

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.

¹⁵ And, perhaps, also, he therefore departed from thee for a season, that thou mightest retain him for ever; ¹⁶ henceforth, not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother dear to me, and much more to thee, both in the flesh and in our Lord ?

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?

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.

¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no mutation, not even the shadow of change. ¹⁸ He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.

⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: sanctify your hearts, ye divided in mind. ⁹ Humble yourselves, and mourn: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into grief. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt 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;

¹⁰ who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you.

²⁵ For ye, once went astray, like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Curator of your souls.

³ For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons. ⁴ And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness;

⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the powerful hand of God: and it will exalt you in due time.

¹³ they being persons with whom iniquity is the reward of iniquity, and by them rioting in the daytime is accounted delightful; defiled and full of spots are they, indulging themselves at their ease, while they give themselves up to pleasure;

⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 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. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.

¹² These are they who, in their feastings, riot while polluting themselves, feeding themselves without fear; clouds without rain, moved about by the winds; trees whose fruit hath failed, and they are without fruit, twice dead, and uplifted from their root;

¹⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that is victorious, will I give to eat of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white counter, and upon the counter a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.

²¹ And I gave her a season for repentance, and she is not disposed to repent of her whoredom. ²² Behold, I will cast her upon a bed, and them who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their deeds.

¹ And to the angel of the church which is at Sardis, write: These things saith he who hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich and affluent, and have no want of any thing; and thou knowest not, that thou art impotent, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked; ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white raiment, to be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be seen; and put eye-salve on thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

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. ¹⁴ And the four Animals said: Amen. And the Elders fell down, and adored.

¹¹ And to each one of them was given a white robe; and it was told them, that they must be quiet yet a little while, until the consummation of their fellow-servants and brethren, who were to be killed as they had been.

⁹ And after these things, I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, from all kindreds, and nations, and tribes, and tongues; who stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹³ And one of the Elders turned, and said to me: These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they? ¹⁴ And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁸ And it was granted her to be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean: for fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.
