⁸ Then, shall break forth, as the dawn, thy light, And, thy new flesh, shall, speedily, grow,––Then shall go, before thee, thy righteousness, The glory of Yahweh, shall bring up thy rear: ⁹ Then, shalt thou, Call, and, Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst, The yoke, The pointing of the finger, and, The speaking of iniquity; ¹⁰ And shalt let thine own soul, go out to the hungry, And, the soul of the oppressed, thou shalt satisfy, Then shall break forth, in darkness, thy light, And, thy thick darkness, [become] as the splendour of noon; ¹¹ Then will Yahweh guide, thee continually, And will satisfy, [even] in scorched regions, thine own soul, Yea, thy very bones, will he invigorate,––So shall thou become, like a garden well––watered, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not deceive; ¹² And they who come of thee, shall build the wastes of age–past times, And, as for the foundations of generation after generation, thou shalt rear them up,––So shalt thou be called––A Repairer of broken walls, A Restorer of paths leading home.

¹² So shall men call them––The holy, people, The redeemed of Yahweh,––And, thou, shalt be called––Sought out, A city, not forsaken.

⁴ Who tarry among graves, And, in the secret places, do lodge––Who eat the flesh of swine, And, the broth of refuse things, is in their vessels,––

³ He that slaughtereth an ox, [is as one] who smiteth a man, He that sacrificeth a lamb, [is as one] who beheadeth a dog, He that causeth a meal–offering to ascend, [offereth it with] the blood of swine, He that maketh a memorial of frankincense, [is as one] who blesseth iniquity: They indeed, have chosen their own ways, And, in their own abominations, their soul hath found delight;

¹⁷ They who hallow themselves and purify themselves for the gardens, Behind a certain thing in the midst, Who eat the flesh of swine, and the abomination, and the mouse, Together, shall be cut off––Declareth Yahweh.

¹⁹ Though, I myself, had said,––How can I put thee among the sons, And give thee a land to be coveted, An inheritance of beauty, of the hosts of nations? Yet I said, My father, shalt thou call me, And, away from me, shalt thou not turn.

⁶ So shall great and small die in this land, They shall not be buried,––Neither shall men lament for them, Nor cut themselves, Nor make themselves bald for them;

⁵ that men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria,––eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent, who also had cut themselves, with a meal–offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.

⁵ Baldness, hath come, upon Gaza, Silenced, is Ashkelon, the remnant of their vale,––How long, wilt thou cut thyself?

¹⁴ Then said, I, Ah! My Lord, Yahweh, lo! my person, hath not been defiled: neither of what hath died of itself, nor of what hath been torn in pieces: have I eaten, from my youthful days even unto now, neither hath come into my mouth, the flesh of a foul thing.

² Son of man, Set thy face against Jerusalem, And drop [thy word] against the holy places, And prophesy against the soil of Israel.

²⁴ and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect,––and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones;

⁷ And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age–abiding,––For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.

¹⁰ Yet shall the number of the sons of Israel become like the sand of the sea, which can neither he measured, nor numbered,––and it shall come to pass, in the place where it used to be said to them, No people of mine, are ye, it shall be said to them, Sons of a Living God!

⁴ Enter ye Bethel, and transgress, At Gilgal, cause transgression, to abound,––Yea, carry in, every morning, your sacrifices, every three days, your tithes;

¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, Yea, I pray you, put me to the proof hereby, saith Yahweh of hosts, whether I will not open to you the sluices of the heavens, and pour out for you blessing, until there be no room. ¹¹ Then will I rebuke, for you, the devourer that he spoil not, for you, the fruit of the ground,–– neither shall the vine in the field, be barren to you, saith Yahweh of hosts.

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? ²³ And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you,––Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!

²⁶ And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple,––and, the tables of the money–changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves;

¹⁵ And they come into Jerusalem. And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling and them who were buying in the temple, and, the tables of the money–changers, and the seats of them who were selling doves, he overthrew,––

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for, nothing, back; and your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High,––for, he, is, gracious, unto the ungrateful and wicked.

⁴¹ Notwithstanding, as to the things within, give alms, and lo! everything, is, pure unto you.

¹² Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him,––Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours,––lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee. ¹³ But, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind; ¹⁴ and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.

¹⁵ And he went his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine. ¹⁶ And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.

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:

¹⁴ And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money–changers sitting. ¹⁵ And, making a scourge out of rushes, all of them, thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and, the money–changers’ small coins, poured he forth, and, the tables, he overturned; ¹⁶ and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said––Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.

⁵² and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one.

¹² In which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of earth and birds of heaven. ¹³ And there came a voice unto him––Rise, Peter! slay and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said––By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.

¹⁴ But Peter said––By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.

²⁰ but to write unto them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

¹⁶ The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God;

⁸ That is––not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed.

²⁶ And it shall be––in the place where it was said [to them]––not my people are, ye! there, shall they be called––Sons of a Living God.

² And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God––the good and acceptable and perfect.

¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus––that, nothing, is profane of itself,––save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,

¹² All things, unto me, are allowable, but, not all things, are profitable: all things, unto me, are allowable, but, I, will not be brought under authority by any. ¹³ Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods; but, God, will set aside, both it and them. The body, however, is not for fornication, but, for the Lord,––and, the Lord, for the body.

⁶ But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;

²⁸ But, if anyone should say unto you,––This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man’s sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake:––

¹⁷ Wherefore come ye forth out of their midst, and be separated,––saith [the] Lord,––and, one impure, do not touch; and, I, will give you welcome, ¹⁸ And will become your Father, and, ye, shall become my sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.

⁶ As to this, however, he that soweth sparingly, sparingly, also shall reap, and, he that soweth with blessings, with blessings, also shall reap: ⁷ Each one, according as he hath purposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of necessity,––for, a cheerful giver, God, loveth. ⁸ Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto every good work; ⁹ Even as it is written––He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy,––his righteousness, abideth to futurity. ¹⁰ Now, he that supplieth seed to the sower, and bread for eating, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and cause to grow your fruits of righteousness: ¹¹ In every thing, being enriched, unto every kind of liberality,––which, indeed, worketh out, through us, thanksgiving unto God;

²⁶ For ye, all, are, sons of God, through the faith in Christ Jesus;

⁶ Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

¹⁹ Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.

¹³ But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are falling asleep,––lest ye be sorrowing, even as the rest also, who are without hope;

¹⁷ Let, the well presiding elders, of double honour, be accounted worthy, especially they who toil in discourse and teaching;

⁵ having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;

¹⁵ All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience; ¹⁶ God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.

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.

¹⁰ For it was becoming in him––For the sake of whom are the all things, and by means of whom are the all things,––when, many sons, unto glory, he would lead, The Princely Leader of their salvation, through sufferings, to make perfect.

² Of the entertaining of strangers, be not forgetful, for, hereby, unawares, have some entertained, messengers.

²⁷ Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this––to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.

¹⁶ Inasmuch as it is written––Holy shall ye be, because, I, am holy.

⁹ But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:––

¹⁸ For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings––in wanton ways––them who are, well–nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour; ¹⁹ Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption,––for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved,–– ²⁰ For, if, having escaped from the defilements of the world by a personal knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but, by the same having again become entangled, they are defeated, the, last, state hath become, for them, worse than, the first; ²¹ For, better, had it been for them––not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them. ²² There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb––A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and––A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.

²² There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb––A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and––A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.

¹ Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us––that, children of God, we should be called,––and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him. ² Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be,––We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.

¹⁰ Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.

² Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.
