¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life,–– ² And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age–abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; ³ That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.
⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you,––that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say––We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth; ⁷ Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
⁸ If we say––Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us. ⁹ If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous––that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say––We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.

⁴⁰ Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me, ⁴¹ I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes,––Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity, ⁴² Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And, the land, will I remember.

⁹ So then, thou must know that, Yahweh thy God, he, is God,––the faithful GOD, keeping his covenant and his lovingkindness with them that love him, and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

⁴⁶ When they sin against thee––for there is, no son of earth, that sinneth not, and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them up before an enemy,––who shall carry them away as their captives, into the land of the enemy, far or near; ⁴⁷ and they come back to their right mind, in the land whither they have been taken captive,––and so turn and make supplication unto thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely, we have been lawless;

³⁶ When they sin against thee––for there is no son of earth who sinneth not––and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them up before an enemy,––who shall carry them away as their captives into a land––far away or near; ³⁷ and they come back to their right mind, in the land whither they have been taken captive,––and so turn and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and been lawless; –– ³⁸ and so turn unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive,––and shall pray in the direction of their own land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and unto the house which I have built for thy Name,

⁶ Let, I pray thee, thine ears be attentive and thine eyes open––to hearken unto the prayer of thy servant––which, I, am praying before thee now, day and night, for the sons of Israel, thy servants,––and making confession concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have committed against thee, both I and the house of my father, have sinned.

² And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all the sons of the foreigner,––and stood and made confession over their own sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. ³ So they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God, a fourth part of the day,––and, a fourth part, they were making confession and bowing themselves down, unto Yahweh their God.
⁴ Then stood up on the platform of the Levites, Jeshua and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani,––and made outcry, with a loud voice, unto Yahweh their God. ⁵ Then said the Levites––Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, Stand up, bless Yahweh your God, from age to age,––Yea let them bless thy glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. ⁶ Thou, art Yahweh, thou alone, Thou, didst make the heavens, the heavens of heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that is thereon, the seas and all that is therein, and, thou, holdest them all in life,––and, the host of the heavens, unto thee, are bowing down. ⁷ Thou, art Yahweh, God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees,––and madest his name Abraham; ⁸ and didst find his heart faithful before thee, and didst solemnize with him a covenant, to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite,––to give it unto his seed,––and didst confirm thy words, for, righteous, thou art. ⁹ Yea thou sawest the affliction of our fathers, in Egypt, and, their outcry, thou heardest, by the Red Sea; ¹⁰ and didst grant signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for thou hadst taken note, that they ruled proudly over them,––and so thou didst make thee a name, as at this day. ¹¹ And, the sea, didst thou cleave asunder before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea, on dry ground,––whereas, their pursuers, thou didst cast into the depths like a stone, into the mighty waters, ¹² And, in a pillar of cloud, didst thou lead them, by day,––and in a pillar of fire, by night, to light up for them the way wherein they should go. ¹³ And, upon Mount Sinai, camest thou down, and spakest with them out of the heavens,––and gavest them just regulations, and faithful laws, good statutes and commandments. ¹⁴ And, thy holy sabbath, didst thou make known to them,––and, commandments and statutes and a law, didst thou command them, through Moses thy servant. ¹⁵ And, bread out of the heavens, didst thou give them, for their hunger, and, waters out of the cliff, didst thou bring them, for their thirst,––and badest them go in to take possession of the land, which thou hadst lifted thy hand to give them. ¹⁶ But, they and our fathers, dealt proudly,––and hardened their neck, and hearkened not unto thy commandments; ¹⁷ but refused to hearken, neither kept in mind thy wonders which thou hadst done with them, but they hardened their neck, and appointed a head that they might return to their servitude, in their perverseness. But, thou, art a God of forgivenesses, gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, and didst not forsake them. ¹⁸ Yea, although they made them a molten calf, and said, This, is thy God, that brought thee up out of Egypt,––and wrought great insults, ¹⁹ yet, thou, in thine abounding compassions, didst not forsake them in the desert,––the pillar of cloud, departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light up for them the way wherein they should go. ²⁰ And, thy Good Spirit, thou gavest, to instruct them,––and, thy manna, thou withheldest not from their mouth, and, water, thou gavest them, for their thirst. ²¹ Yea, forty years, didst thou sustain them in the desert, they lacked nothing,––their mantles, waxed not old and, their feet, swelled not. ²² And thou gavest them kingdoms, and peoples, and allotted to each of them a corner,––and they took possession of the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. ²³ Their children also, didst thou multiply, like the stars of the heavens,––and didst bring them into the land which thou hadst promised their fathers they should enter to possess; ²⁴ so the children entered and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and deliveredst them into their hand,––with their kings, and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their pleasure; ²⁵ and they captured fortified cities and a fat soil, and took possession of houses full of every good thing, wells digged, vineyards and oliveyards and fruit–trees, in abundance,––so they did eat and were filled and became fat, and luxuriated in thy great goodness. ²⁶ But they murmured and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and, thy prophets, they slew, who testified against them that they might turn them back unto thee,––and they wrought great insults. ²⁷ Therefore didst thou deliver them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them,––and, in the time of their distress, they made outcry unto thee, and, thou, out of the heavens, didst hear, and, according to thine abounding compassions, gavest them saviors, that they might save them out of the hand of their adversaries. ²⁸ But, as soon as they had rest, they again wrought wickedness before thee,––and thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, who bare rule over them, yet, when they again made outcry unto thee, thou, from the heavens, didst hear and didst deliver them according to thy compassions, many times; ²⁹ and didst testify against them, to bring them back unto thy law, yet, they, dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, and, against thy regulations, they sinned, the which––if any son of earth shall do––then shall he live by them,––and yielded a rebellious shoulder, and, their neck, they stiffened, and hearkened not. ³⁰ And thou didst suffer many years to pass over them, and didst testify against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets, yet did they not give ear,––therefore didst thou deliver them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. ³¹ Yet, in thine abounding compassions, thou didst not make of them an end, neither didst thou forsake them,––for, a GOD gracious and full of compassion, thou art. ³² Now, therefore, O our God––the GOD great, mighty, and fearful––keeping the covenant and the lovingkindness, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, which hath come upon us––on our kings, on our rulers, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people,––from the days of the kings of Assyria, until this day. ³³ But, thou, art righteous, as to all that hath fallen upon us,––for, faithfulness, hast thou wrought, whereas, we, have been lawless; ³⁴ and, our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers, have not kept thy law,––nor given heed unto thy commandments, or unto thy testimonies, wherewith thou hast testified against them. ³⁵ But, they, in their kingdom, and in thine abundant goodness which thou gavest them, and in the broad and fat land which thou didst set before them, did not serve thee, neither turned they from their wicked doings. ³⁶ Lo! we, today, are bondmen––even upon the land which thou gavest our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, lo! we, are bondmen; ³⁷ and, the increase thereof, aboundeth unto the kings whom thou hast set over us, for our sins,––and, over our bodies, are they bearing rule, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and, in great distress, we are.

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one!

¹⁴ What is a mortal, that he should be pure? or that righteous should be one born of a woman?

²⁵ But, if not, who then can convict me of falsehood? or make of no account my words?

⁴ How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

²⁷ He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not; ²⁸ He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit,––and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.

⁷ Let me tell of a decree,––Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, today, have begotten thee:

⁴ For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine: ⁵ Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes,––Thou hatest all workers of iniquity: ⁶ Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood,––The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.

¹² Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:

²² I will declare thy Name unto my brethren,––In the midst of the convocation, will I praise thee.

¹ [David’s.]
Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?

⁵ My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. [Selah.]

⁹ For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.

² Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure; ³ For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually: ⁴ Against thee––against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness––in thine eyes, have I done,––That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest,––Be clear when thou judgest. ⁵ Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.

¹³ For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

⁵ They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

¹¹ For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God,––Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

¹⁵ How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;

²⁰ Shall the throne that inflicteth ruin, have fellowship with thee, That frameth oppression, by statute?

¹¹ Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:

² Putting on light, as a robe, Stretching out the heavens, as a curtain;

³ If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

² Do not then enter into judgment with thy servant, for no one living, can appear just before thee.

¹³ From them who forsake the paths of rectitude, to walk in the ways of darkness;

¹⁸ But, the path of the righteous, is as the light of dawn,––going on and brightening, unto meridian day. ¹⁹ The way of the lawless, is like darkness, they know not, at what they stumble.

²² Yahweh, had constituted me the beginning of his way, before his works, at the commencement of that time;

²² Yahweh, had constituted me the beginning of his way, before his works, at the commencement of that time; ²³ At the outset of the ages, had I been established, in advance of the antiquities of the earth;

²³ At the outset of the ages, had I been established, in advance of the antiquities of the earth; ²⁴ When there was no resounding deep, I had been brought forth, when there were no fountains, abounding with water;

²⁴ When there was no resounding deep, I had been brought forth, when there were no fountains, abounding with water; ²⁵ Ere yet the mountains had been settled, before the hills, had I been brought forth;

²⁵ Ere yet the mountains had been settled, before the hills, had I been brought forth; ²⁶ Or ever he had made the land and the wastes, or the top of the dry parts of the world:

²⁶ Or ever he had made the land and the wastes, or the top of the dry parts of the world: ²⁷ When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep;

²⁷ When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep; ²⁸ When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong;

²⁸ When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong; ²⁹ When he fixed for the sea its bound, that, the waters, should not go beyond his bidding, when he decreed the foundations of the earth:––

⁹ Who can say, I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin?

¹³ He that covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.

²⁰ For, as for men, there is none righteous in the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

⁵ O house of Jacob! come ye, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

⁴ Who, hath wrought and performed, Calling the generations, in advance? I, Yahweh, [who am] First, And, with them who are last, I, am the Same!

²¹ Tell ye––and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together,––Who, let this be known aforetime, In time past, declared it? Was it not, I––Yahweh? And there is none else that is God, besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides, me!

¹⁰ I will, greatly rejoice, in Yahweh, My soul shall exult, in my God, For he hath clothed me, with the garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness, hath he enwrapt me,––As, a bridegroom, adorneth himself with, a chaplet, And as, a bride, bedecketh herself with, her jewels.

⁶ But we have become as one unclean, all of us, And, as a garment polluted, were all our righteous doings,––And so we faded like a leaf, all of us, And, our iniquity, as a wind, carried us away;

¹⁹ Then will I set, among them, a sign, And will send, of them, such as have escaped, unto the nations––Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan,––The Coastlands that are afar off, Who have not heard my fame, Nor seen my glory, And they shall tell my glory throughout the nations.

²² For, though thou wash thee with nitre, And take thee much soap, Yet is thine iniquity inscribed, before me, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh. ²³ How canst thou say, I have not defiled myself, After the Baalim, have I not gone? See thy way, in the valley, Own, what thou hast done,––A nimble young she–camel, crossing her own ways;

⁸ And I will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me,––And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities, Wherewith they have sinned against me, and, Wherewith they have transgressed against me;

²³ New things for the mornings! Abundant is thy faithfulness:

²⁵ And I will throw upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean,––From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I cleanse you;

⁴ yea I prayed unto Yahweh my God, and made confession,––and said––I beseech thee, O Lord, the GOD great and to be revered, keeping the covenant and the lovingkindness, to them who love him, and to them who keep his commandments. ⁵ We have sinned and committed iniquity, and been guilty of lawlessness and been rebellious,––even departing from thy commandments, and from thy regulations; ⁶ and have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spake in thy name, unto our kings, our rulers, and our fathers,––and unto all the people of the land. ⁷ To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but, to us, the shame of faces, as at this day,––to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, the near and the far off, throughout all the lands whither thou hast driven them, in their treachery, wherewith they had been treacherous against thee. ⁸ O Yahweh, to us, belongeth the shame of faces, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers,––in that we have sinned against thee. ⁹ To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses,––for we have rebelled against him; ¹⁰ and have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God,––to walk in his instructions which he set before us, through means of his servants the prophets; ¹¹ yea, all Israel, have transgressed thy law, even going away, so as not to hearken unto thy voice,––therefore, were poured out upon us, the curse and the oath which had been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we had sinned against him. ¹² Thus hath he confirmed his words which he had spoken against us, and against our judges who had judged us, by bringing in upon us a great calamity,––as to which there had not been done, under all the heavens, as hath been done unto Jerusalem. ¹³ Even as written in the law of Moses, hath, all this calamity, come in upon us,––yet entreated we not the face of Yahweh our God, by turning away from our iniquities, and by getting intelligence in thy truth. ¹⁴ Therefore hath Yahweh, kept watch, for the calamity, and brought it in upon us,––for righteous is Yahweh our God concerning all his deeds which he hath done, seeing that we had not hearkened unto his voice. ¹⁵ Now, therefore, O Lord our God, who didst bring forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a firm hand, and didst make for thyself a name, as at this day,––we have sinned, we have been guilty of lawlessness. ¹⁶ O Lord! according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thine indignation turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain,––for, by reason of our sins, and by reason of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people, have become a reproach, to all who are round about us. ¹⁷ Now, therefore, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplications, and let thy face shine, upon thy sanctuary, that is desolate,––for the sake of thy servants, O Lord. ¹⁸ Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hearken, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city on which hath been called thy name; for, not on the ground of our own righteousnesses, are we causing our supplications to fall down before thee, but on the ground of thine abounding compassions. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hearken and perform! Do not delay! For thine own sake, O my God, because, thine own name, hath been called, upon thy city, and upon thy people.
²⁰ And, while yet I was speaking, and praying, and confessing mine own sin, and the sin of my people Israel,––and causing my supplication to fall down before Yahweh my God, concerning the holy mountain of my God;

³ Can two walk together,––except they meet?

² Thou, therefore, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though, little, to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee, shall Mine come forth, to be ruler in Israel,––whose comings forth, have been from of old, from the days of age–past time.

¹⁷ Though, the fig–tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food,––the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls, ¹⁸ Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice,––I will exult in the God of my salvation.

⁹ Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he,––lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.

¹ In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem,––for sin and for uncleanness.

⁶ and were being immersed in the Jordan river, by him, openly confessing their sins.

²² Many, will say unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out,––and, in thy name, many works of power, perform?

⁵ and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;

² according as they who from the beginning became eye–witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,

³⁹ See my hands, and my feet,––that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have.

¹ Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.

¹ Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God. ² The same, was originally, with God.

² The same, was originally, with God. ³ All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence, ⁴ in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.––

⁴ in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.––
⁵ And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold. ⁶ There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John: ⁷ The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him. ⁸ He, was not the light,––but, that he might bear witness concerning the light, ⁹ It, was––The real light that enlighteneth every man––Coming into the world.

⁹ It, was––The real light that enlighteneth every man––Coming into the world. ¹⁰ In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not. ¹¹ Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home. ¹² But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become,––unto them who were believing on his name: ¹³ Who––not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but––of God, were born. ¹⁴ And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory,––a glory, as an Only–begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
¹⁵ (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying––the same, was he that said––He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.) ¹⁶ Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour. ¹⁷ Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence. ¹⁸ No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].

¹⁸ No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].

²⁹ On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith––See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

¹³ And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended,––The Son of Man.

¹⁹ And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world,––and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works. ²⁰ For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved; ²¹ But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.

²⁹ He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.

²⁶ For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself;

²⁹ I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.

¹² Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying––I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

³⁸ What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.––

⁴⁴ Ye, are, of your father––the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it. ⁴⁵ But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.

⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them––Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.

⁵ Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world.

¹⁰ But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.

²⁵ Jesus said unto her––I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again! ²⁶ And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age–abiding. Believest thou this?

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth. ³⁶ While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus,––and, departing, was hid from them.

⁴⁶ I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.

⁶ Jesus saith unto him––I, am the way, and the truth, and the life: No one, cometh unto the Father, but through me.

²⁰ In that day, shall ye get to know, That, I, am in my Father, and, ye, in me, and, I, in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him. ²² Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him––Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said unto him––If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him,––and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.

¹¹ These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.

²⁷ And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,

²⁴ Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive,––that, your joy, may be made full.

²⁸ I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,––Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

³ And, this, is the age–abiding life, That they get to know thee, the only real God, and him whom thou didst send, Jesus Christ.

⁵ And, now, glorify me––thou, Father! with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world’s existence, with thee.

¹¹ And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world,––and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we.

²¹ That they, all, may be, one,––even as, thou, Father, in me, and, I, in thee,––that, they also, in us, may be; ––that, the world, may believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

²⁵ Righteous Father! And so, the world, came not to know thee; but, I, came to know thee, and, these, came to know that, thou, didst send me forth:

³⁵ And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe.

²⁷ Then, saith he unto Thomas––Reach thy finger hither, and see my hands, and reach thy hand, and press into my side,––and become not disbelieving, but believing.

¹⁴ This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.

³ Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.

²² Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.

³² The same Jesus, hath God raised up, whereof, all we, are witnesses!

⁴² And they went on to give constant attention––unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.

¹⁵ But, the Princely Leader of Life, ye slew:––whom, God, raised from among the dead, whereof, we, are witnesses.

²⁰ For, we, cannot but be speaking the things which we have seen and heard.

³² And, we, are witnesses of these things,––also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.

⁴¹ Not unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore–appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among the dead.

³² We, therefore, unto you, bring the good news, as to the promise which, unto our fathers, was made,––

⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days,––a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.

¹⁸ Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.

²⁷ for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.

²³ For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

²⁶ In the forbearance of God,––with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

³ For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

¹² The night, is far spent and, the day, hath drawn near; let us, then, cast off the works of darkness, [and] let us put on the armour of light,––

²⁷ They have been well–pleased, indeed,––and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them.

²⁵ Now, unto him who hath power to establish you, according to my glad–message––even the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of a sacred secret, in age–past times kept silent, ²⁶ But now made manifest, and through means of prophetic scriptures, according to the command of the age–abiding God, for obedience of faith unto all the nations made known,

⁹ Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

³⁰ But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God,––both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

¹⁸ Let no one be deceiving himself:––if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise;

¹¹ And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away,––but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of [our] Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

²³ For, I myself, received from the Lord––that which I also delivered unto you,––how that, the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was being delivered up, took a loaf,

¹ Moreover, brethren, I make known unto you The joyful message, which I myself announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand;

²⁴ Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

¹⁴ Be not getting diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement hath a shrine of God with idols? For, we, are [the] shrine of a God, that liveth:––even as God hath said––will dwell in them, and walk, and will be their God, and, they, shall be my people.

¹⁴ The favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

⁴ But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law,––

³ For, if any one thinketh he is something, when he is, nothing, he deceiveth himself;

⁷ In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour,

⁶ That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad–message,––

¹⁹ To get to know, also, the knowledge–surpassing, love of the Christ,––in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:

⁸ For ye were, at one time, darkness, but, now, are ye light in the Lord,––as children of light, be walking,

²⁶ That, her, he might sanctify, having purified [her] with the bath of water, in declaration,

⁷ According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all,––because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad–message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.

²⁵ And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide,––yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith; ²⁶ In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.

¹ If there be, therefore, any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tender affections and compassions,

¹⁰ To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death,––

¹³ Who hath rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁶ Let, the word of the Christ, dwell within you richly,––in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with gratitude, raising song with your hearts unto God:

¹⁰ And awaiting his Son out of the heavens––whom he raised from among the dead,––Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.

¹⁵ Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy,––that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I; ––

¹⁶ And, confessedly great, is the sacred secret of godliness,––Who was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, was made visible unto messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

² in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience,––

² They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting:––

⁵ incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth,––supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!

¹⁶ Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable,––Whom no man hath seen––nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age–abiding. Amen.

¹⁰ But hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus,––Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad–message:

¹³ Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.

² In hope of life age–abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age–during times,

¹⁴ Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure––zealous of noble works.

¹² saying––I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of an assembly, will I sing praise unto thee;

¹ Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High––priest of our confession––Jesus

¹⁴ For, partners of the Christ, have we become,––if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:

¹⁰ For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering,

¹⁴ How much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who through an age–abiding spirit offered himself unspotted unto God, purify our conscience from dead works, to the rendering of divine–service, unto a Living God?

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering,––for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

¹¹ By faith, even Sarah herself, received power for founding a seed, even beyond the season of life’s prime,––seeing that, faithful, she reckoned, him that had promised;

¹⁷ Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights––with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:

²² Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only––reasoning yourselves astray;

²⁶ If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one’s, religious observance is, vain:

¹⁴ What profit, my brethren,––if one should be saying he hath, faith, but hath not, works; can his faith save him?

¹⁶ And one from among you should say unto them––Withdraw in peace, be getting warmed and fed, but should not give them the things needful for the body, What the profit?

¹⁸ But one will say,––Thou, hast faith, and, I, have works, show me thy faith apart from thy works, and, I, unto thee, will shew, by my works, my faith.

² For, oft, are we stumbling, one and all: If anyone, in word, doth not stumble, the same, is a mature man, able to curb even the whole body.

¹⁹ But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One,––

¹ Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort––[I] who am their co–elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; ––

¹⁶ For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty. ¹⁷ For, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory––My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight, ¹⁸ Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.

¹³ Doing wrong themselves, for a reward of wrong, accounting, a delight, their day–time delicacy, spots and blemishes, indulging in delicacies with their stratagems, as they carouse together with you,

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life,–– ² And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age–abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; ³ That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

³ That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you,––that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say––We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth; ⁷ Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
⁸ If we say––Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.

¹⁰ If we say––We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.

¹ My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous;

¹ My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous; ² And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins,––and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.

⁴ He that saith––I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!

⁹ He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now!

⁹ He that saith he is, in the light, and hateth, his brother, is, in the darkness, until even now! ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none.

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, is abiding, in the light, and, cause of stumbling, in him, is there none. ¹¹ Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father: ¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

²³ Whosoever denieth the Son, neither hath he, the Father: He that confesseth the Son, hath, the Father also. ²⁴ As for you, what ye have heard from the beginning, in you, let it abide. If, in you, shall abide, that which, from the beginning, ye have heard, ye also, in the Son, and [in] the Father, shall abide.

⁵ And ye know, that, He, was made manifest––in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.

⁵ And ye know, that, He, was made manifest––in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none. ⁶ Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand him.

⁸ He that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.

¹¹ Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning––that we should be loving one another,––

⁴ Ye, are, of God, dear children, and have overcome them; because, greater, is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

¹⁴ And, we, for ourselves have gazed, and are bearing witness––that, the Father, sent forth the Son, as Saviour of the world.

²⁰ If one should say, I love God, and should be hating, his brother, false, is he; for, he that doth not love his brother, whom he hath seen, God, whom he hath not seen, he cannot love!

⁶ This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood,––and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth. ⁷ Because, three, are they who are bearing witness–– ⁸ The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him,––because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son––

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him,––because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son–– ¹¹ And, this, is the witness:––that, life age–abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son:

¹¹ And, this, is the witness:––that, life age–abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son:

²⁰ We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real,––and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age–abiding.

² For the sake of the truth that abideth in us, and, with us, shall be unto times age–abiding,

⁴ I rejoiced exceedingly, in that I had found, from among thy children, such as were walking in truth, even as, a commandment, we received from the Father.

¹² Though I had many things, unto you, to write, I was not minded [to say them] with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and, mouth to mouth, to talk,––that your joy may be made full.

³ For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth,––even as, thou, in truth, art walking. ⁴ I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking. ⁵ and from––Jesus Christ,––The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood,––

⁸ I, am, the A, and, the Z, saith the Lord,––the, God who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, The Almighty.

¹¹ saying––What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies,––unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum,––and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia,––and unto Laodicea.

¹⁷ And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying––Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last, ¹⁸ and the Living One,––and I became dead; ––and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

⁸ And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Smyrna, write:––These things, saith the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, Rich, am I, and have become enriched, and, of nothing, have I need, and knowest not that, thou, art the wretched one, and pitiable, and destitute, and blind, and naked, ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me, gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich,––and white raiment, that thou mayest array thyself, and, the shame of thy nakedness, may not be made manifest,––and eye–salve, to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

¹⁴ And I at once said to him––My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me––These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb;

¹¹ And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.

³ and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying––Great and marvelous, are thy works, Lord, God, the Almighty! Righteous and true, are thy ways, O King of the ages!

¹³ and arrayed with a mantle sprinkled with blood, and his name hath been called––The Word of God.

²³ And, the city, hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine therein; for, the glory of God, illumined it, and, the lamp thereof, was the Lamb.

⁵ And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light,––and they shall reign unto the ages of ages.
