²¹ He, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you.

And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them the word of God. ⁸ And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas,) withstood them; because he wished to divert the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon him, ¹⁰ and said: O thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? ¹¹ And now, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take him by the hand.

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.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idol-worship, magic, malice, contention, rivalry, wrath, strife, divisions, discords, ²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all the like things. And they who perpetrate these things, as I have before told you, and also now tell you, do not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ But whoredom, and all impurity, and avarice let them not be at all heard of among you, as it becometh the saints; ⁴ Neither obscenities, nor words of folly, or of division, or of scurrility, which are not useful; but instead of these, thanksgiving. ⁵ For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

² Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh.

⁶ For on account of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

¹⁰ and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life. ¹¹ Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie; ¹² and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity.

²⁰ And the residue of men who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which cannot see, nor hear. ²¹ And they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.

¹ Then came one of the seven angels who have the seven cups, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters; ² with whom the kings of the earth have practised whoredom, and the inhabitants of the earth have been inebriated with the wine of her whoredom. ³ And he led me in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a red beast of prey, which was full of names of blasphemy, and had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had a cup of gold in her hand, which was full of the pollutions and impurity of her whoredoms of the earth. ⁵ And upon her forehead was the name written: Mystery: Babylon the great; the Mother of Harlots, and of the contaminations of the Earth. ⁶ And I saw that the woman was intoxicated with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

¹ THE book of the nativity of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, son of Abraham.

² saying: Where is the king of the Jews that is born? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

⁷ Then Herod privately called the Magi, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them. ⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said to them, Go, search diligently for the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell me, that I also may go and worship him. ⁹ And they, when they had heard from the king, went forward: and lo, the star they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. ¹⁰ And when they saw the star, they rejoiced much, with great joy.

⁴² and said: What say ye respecting, the Messiah? Whose son is he? They say to him; The son of David.

⁴⁵ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁷⁸ through the compassion of the mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high will visit us,

³ concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David, ⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

⁵ and from among whom, Messiah appeared in the flesh, who is God over all; to whom be praises and benediction, for ever and ever; Amen.

¹⁹ And we have moreover a sure word of prophecy; and ye will do well, if ye look to it as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day shall dawn, and the sun shall arise in your hearts;

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;

¹¹ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that is victorious, shall not be harmed by the second death.

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.

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

⁶ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

¹³ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

²² He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

⁵ And one of the Elders said to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath been victorious: He will open the book, and its seven seals.

⁶ And he said to me: These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirit of the prophets, hath sent me, his angel, to show unto his servants the things that must soon occur.

¹¹ He that doth evil, let him do evil still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him practise righteousness still; and he that is sanctified, let him be sanctified still.

³⁹ He said to them: Come, and see. And they came and saw where he lodged; and they were with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. ⁴⁰ And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon. ⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas. ⁴³ The next day, Jesus was disposed to depart for Galilee: and he found Philip and said to him, Come after me. ⁴⁴ And Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Simon. ⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ Nathaniel said to him: Can there be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come, and see.

¹⁰ Jesus replied and said to her: If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living waters.

²⁹ Come, see a man that told me every thing I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

³⁷ And on the great day, which was the last of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, and said: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.

²⁴ And they are justified gratuitously, by grace, and by the redemption which is in Jesus Messiah;

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.

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. ⁶ And ye became imitators of us, and of our Lord, in that ye received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Holy Spirit. ⁷ And ye were a pattern for all the believers who are in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For from you the word of our Lord sounded forth; and not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place, your faith in God is heard of; so that we have no need to say any thing concerning you.

² And I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

⁹ And there came one of those seven angels, who have the seven cups filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

⁶ And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition. ⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say : ⁸ This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁹ And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men.

¹³ And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated.

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:

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.

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:

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured undiluted into the cup of his indignation, and shall be tormented with fire and sulphur, before the holy angels, and before the throne. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever; and there is no rest, by day or by night, to those that worship the beast of prey and its image.

¹ And I saw another prodigy in heaven, great and wonderful; seven angels, having seven plagues, the last in order, because with them the wrath of God is consummated.

⁶ And the seven angels who had the seven plagues, went forth from the temple, clothed in clean splendid linen, and girded about their breast with girdles of gold. ⁷ And one of the four Animals gave to those seven angels seven cups of gold, full of the wrath of God who liveth for ever and ever. ⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke, from the glory of God and from his power; and no one was able to enter the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were accomplished.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets; and thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it. ⁷ And I heard one from the altar say: Yes, Lord God Almighty: true and righteous is thy judgment. ⁸ And the fourth poured his cup upon the sun: and it was permitted him, to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues; and they repented not, to give glory to him. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured his cup on the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness; and they gnawed their tongues, from pain; ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, on account of their pains and their ulcers, and did not repent of their deeds. ¹² And the sixth poured his cup upon the great river Euphrates; and its waters dried up, so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. ¹³ And I saw issuing from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs: ¹⁴ (for they are the spirits of demons, who work prodigies;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ (And lo, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments; lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) ¹⁶ And they collected them together in a place called, in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh poured his cup on the air; and there issued a loud voice from the temple, from the throne, which said: It is done! ¹⁸ And there were lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and there was a great earthquake, the like of which there was never, since men were on the earth, such an earthquake, and so great. ¹⁹ And the great city became three parts. And the city of the nations fell; and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the heat of his wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled away; and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And a great hail, as it were of a talent weight, fell from heaven upon men: and the men blasphemed God, on account of the plague of hail; for the plague of it was very great.

²⁰ And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire, which burneth with sulphur.

¹⁰ And the Accuser who seduced them, was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur, where also were the beast of prey and the false prophet: and they shall be tormented, day and night, for ever and ever.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

⁵² Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder.

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. ¹⁸ And to the angel of the church at Thyatira, write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass:

²⁶ And to him that is victorious, and to him that observeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority, over the nations;

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.

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; ¹⁰ and they cried, with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, to him who sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne and the Elders and the four Animals; and they fell upon their faces before his throne, and worshipped God, ¹² saying: Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God, for ever and ever: Amen. 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 all that dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying: Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, henceforth: yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their toils; for their deeds do accompany them.

²² And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. 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. ²⁵ And its gates shall not be shut by day; for there is no night there. ²⁶ And they will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall not enter it, any thing polluted, or that practiseth impurity and falsehood; but they who are registered in the Lamb's book of life.

²⁵ And there are also many other things, which Jesus did; which, if written out with particularity, the world itself, as I suppose, would not suffice for the books that would be written. Completion of the Holy Gospel, the announcement of John the Evangelist; which he uttered, in Greek, at Ephesus.

²² Whoever loveth not our Lord Jesus the Messiah, let him be accursed: our Lord cometh.

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.

²⁸ so also the Messiah was once offered; and, by himself, he immolated the sins of many: and a second time, without sins, will he appear for the life of them who expect him.

¹² expecting and desiring the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being tried by fire will be dissolved, and the elements being ignited will melt? ¹³ But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth. ¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, as ye expect these things, strive that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot and without blemish.

² who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus the Messiah, as to all that he saw.

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.

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.

²⁰ And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah, be with you.

²³ Gaius, hospitable to me and to all the church, saluteth you. Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus a brother, salute you.

¹⁴ { (13:13) The peace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.} { :}

²³ Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ²⁴ Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jesus the Messiah without corruptness. Amen.

¹⁸ The grace of Jesus the Messiah be with you all, my brethren. Amen.
