⁵ Then said I––Woe to me!––for I am undone, Because, a man of unclean lips, am, I, And, in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do, I, dwell,––For, the King, Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!

¹⁵ The elder and favourite, he, is the head,––And, the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;

³ So will he find fragrance, in the reverence of Yahweh, And not, by the sight of his eyes, will he judge, Nor, by the hearing of his ears, will he decide; ⁴ But he will judge, with righteousness, them who are poor, And decide, with equity! for the oppressed of the land,––And he will smite the land with the sceptre of his mouth, And, with the breath of his lips, will he slay the lawless one;

² He hath gone up to Bayith and Dibon, to the high places, to weep,––On Nebo and on Medeba, Moab is howling, On all their heads, a baldness, Every beard, clipped.

²² Then will ye defile––The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image of gold,––Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,

¹⁴ Terror–stricken in Zion,––are sinners, Shuddering hath seized, the impious,––Who, among us can sojourn with a fire that devoureth? Who, among us can sojourn with burnings age–abiding?

²¹ And Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and let them press it over the boil, that he may recover.

³ Cane that is crushed, will he not break, And wick that is fading, will he not quench,––Faithfully, will he bring forth justice:

¹¹ Away! away! come forth from thence!––Nought unclean, may ye touch,––Come forth out of her midst, Purify yourselves, ye who are to carry the vessels of Yahweh;

⁶ Their threads, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics,––Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea, the product of violence, is in their hands;

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;

²⁵ We must lie down in our shame, And our reproach, be our covering, For, against Yahweh our God, have we sinned, We, and our fathers, from our youth, even until this day,––Neither have we hearkened, unto the voice of Yahweh our God.

²⁴ Yet were they not in dread, neither rent they their garments,––the king, nor any of his servants that were hearing all these words.

¹ How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow,––She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.

⁸ Jerusalem, hath grievously sinned, For this cause, unto exile, hath she been delivered,––All who used to honour her, have despised her, for they have descried her unseemliness, yea, she herself, hath sighed, and turned back.

¹⁵ Turn aside! Unclean! have they cried to them, Turn aside! Turn aside! Do not touch! because they have fled, yea, wandered, Men said among the nations, They will not again tarry;

¹⁶ Yea thou didst take of thy raiment and madest thee high places of hangings, And didst commit unchastity thereon,––Which ought not to have befallen, And not to have come to pass.

³⁰ How weak was thy heart! Exclaimeth My Lord, Yahweh,––That thou couldst have done all these things, The doing of a lewd woman, without shame:

¹³ In thine uncleanness, is lewdness; because I purified thee. and thou wast not purified, from thine uncleanness, thou shalt not be purified any more, until I have let mine indignation rest upon thee.

¹⁷ To groan, forbear, Over the dead––no mourning, shalt thou make, Thy chaplet, bind thou on thee, And, thy sandals, put thou on thy feet, And thou shalt not cover thy beard, And, the bread of [other] men, shalt thou not eat.

²² Then shall ye do, as I have done,––The beard, shall ye not cover, And, the bread of [other] men, shall ye not eat;

¹⁰ But, as for the Levites, Who went far from me, when Israel went astray, Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they bear their iniquity.

²³ And, my people, shall they instruct, between the holy and the common,––And, between the unclean and the clean, shall they cause them to distinguish.

⁹ Foreigners have, eaten up, his strength, and, he, knoweth it not,––even gray hairs, are sprinkled upon him, and, he, knoweth it not.

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, turn therefore, unto Yahweh your God,––for, gracious and full of compassion, is he, slow to anger, and abundant in loving– kindness, and will grieve over calamity.

¹⁰ They hate the man who, in the gate, rebuketh,––and, him who speaketh truthfully, they abhor.

¹⁰ So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up––on all loins––sackcloth, and upon every head––baldness,––and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.

⁷ And the men of vision, shall turn pale, and the diviners, shall blush, and shall put a covering upon their lip, all of them,––because there is no answer of God.

¹¹ Her heads, for a bribe, pronounce sentence, and, her priests, for a price, give direction, and, her prophets, for silver, divine,––yet, on Yahweh, they lean, saying, Is not, Yahweh, in our midst? there shall not come upon us, calamity.

¹¹ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts,––I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:

⁷ For, the lips of a priest, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth,–– for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is.

¹² Whose fan is in his hand, and he will clear out his threshing–floor,––and will gather his wheat into the granary, but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

²³ But, if thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; ––if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!

⁴ And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one,––but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.

⁴⁵ Then, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself,––and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.

¹⁴ And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,––They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive; ¹⁵ For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed,––lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.

⁷ Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying–– ⁸ This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;

¹⁹ I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens,––and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.

¹⁷ But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly,––And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax–collector. ¹⁸ Verily, I say unto you––Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

⁷ And, the king, was provoked to anger,––and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.

⁵ But, all their works, they do, to be gazed at, by men,––for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes,

⁴¹ Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age–abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;

⁷⁵ And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said––Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.

⁴⁴ and saith unto him––Mind! unto no one, say aught,––but withdraw, thyself, show unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what things Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.

⁸ And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying––Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord!

¹⁴ And, he, charged him to tell, no one,––but, departing, Show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.

⁶ And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him––Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter. ⁷ Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee,––but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.

¹² And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;

¹⁴ And, beholding, he said unto them––Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.

⁹ And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable:–– ¹⁰ Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax–collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men,––extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax–collector; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!

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;

¹⁴ After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him––See! thou hast become, well:––No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.

⁷ The world cannot hate you; but, me, it hateth, because, I, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.

⁴¹ Jesus said unto them––If, blind, ye had been, ye had not had sin; but, now, ye say, We see, your sin, abideth.

⁸ Peter saith unto him––In nowise shalt thou, ever, wash my feet. Jesus answered him––If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also, and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith unto him––He that hath bathed himself, hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all.

² Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God! ³ And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.

⁸ And, having come, He, will reprove the world––Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;

²³ Whosesoever sins ye shall remit, they are remitted unto them, whosesoever ye shall retain, they are retained.

²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.

¹⁹ And, a good many of them who had practised the curious arts, bringing together the books, were burning them before all; and they reckoned up the prices of them, and found them fifty thousand pieces of silver. ²⁰ Thus, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.

²⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers,––to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

³ I, am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but nurtured in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel,––trained after the strictness of our ancestral law; being jealous for God just as, all ye, are this day; ⁴ and, this way, I persecuted unto the death, binding and delivering up into prisons both men and women:––

⁹ I, therefore, imagined to myself, that, against the name of Jesus the Nazarene, it was needful, many hostile things, to bring about,–– ¹⁰ which also I did in Jerusalem, yea and, many of the saints, I myself, in prisons, shut up,––the authority, from the High–priests, having received: and, when they were to be put to death, I brought against them my vote;

²³ That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?

¹⁹ Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God. ²⁰ Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him,––through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.

¹² Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death–doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings;

¹² Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death–doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings; ¹³ Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God; ¹⁴ For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour.

¹⁹ In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; ––for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness [for lawlessness], so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.

⁷ What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying––Thou shall not covet;

¹⁴ For we know that, the law, is spiritual,––I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

¹⁴ For we know that, the law, is spiritual,––I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin; ¹⁵ For, that which I am working out, I do not approve,––for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do: ¹⁶ Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that [it is] right. ¹⁷ Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me: ¹⁸ I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not! ¹⁹ For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise. ²⁰ Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me. ²¹ Hence, I find the law, to me who wish to be doing the right, that, unto me, the wrong lieth near: ²² I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.

²² I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man. ²³ But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members:––

²³ But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members:–– ²⁴ Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death?

²⁴ Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death? ²⁵ [But] thanks be unto God!––Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then,––I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.

¹⁰ But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness;

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,––

¹ Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye,––not for disputing opinions:––

⁵ So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything,––until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, from God.

⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, ⁵ To deliver such a one as this, unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh,––that, the spirit, may be saved in the day of the Lord.

⁵ To deliver such a one as this, unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh,––that, the spirit, may be saved in the day of the Lord. ⁶ Unseemly, is your boast! Know ye not that, a little leaven, doth leaven, the whole of the lump?

⁹ I wrote unto you in my letter––not to be mixing yourselves up with fornicators; –– ¹⁰ Not at all, [meaning] the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters,––else had ye been obliged, in that case, to go out of the world! ¹¹ But, now, I have written unto you not to be mixing yourselves up,––if anyone named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one as this, not so much, as to be eating together, ¹² For what have I to do to be judging them who are without? Do, ye, not judge, them who are within, ¹³ Whereas, them who are without, God, judgeth? Remove ye the wicked man from among, yourselves.

⁷ So that, on the contrary, ye should forgive and encourage, lest, by any means, by his excessive grief, such a one should be swallowed up.

³ And, even if our glad–message is veiled, in them who are perishing, it is veiled, ⁴ In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance of the glad–message of the glory of the Christ––who is the image of God.

¹ Having therefore, these, promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.

⁸ In this behalf, thrice, besought I, the Lord, that it might depart from me;

¹⁴ And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions. ¹⁵ But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well–pleased ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad–message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,

¹³ Howbeit ye know that, by reason of a weakness of the flesh, I myself announced the glad–message unto you, formerly;

¹ Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test.

²² That ye were to strip off––as regardeth the former behaviour––the old man, who corrupteth himself according to his deceitful covetings,

⁶ Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless. ⁷ But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss; ⁸ Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,

¹⁸ For, many, are walking––of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling,––the enemies of the cross of the Christ; ¹⁹ Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.

³ For ye have died, and, your life, is hid, together with the Christ, in God,––

¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,–– ¹² In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well–pleased with the unrighteousness.

⁶ Howbeit, we charge you, brethren,––that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother––who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

¹⁴ And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark––not to be mixing yourselves up with him,––that he may be reproved;

¹⁴ And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark––not to be mixing yourselves up with him,––that he may be reproved; ¹⁵ And, not as an enemy, be esteeming him, but be admonishing him, as a brother.

¹³ Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief: ¹⁴ Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 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; ––

²⁰ Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

²⁴ Some men’s sins, are, openly evident, leading on into judgment, with some, however, they even follow after;

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

¹⁶ But, the profane pratings, shun; for, unto more ungodliness, will they force themselves on; ¹⁷ And, their discourse, as a gangrene, will eat its way; ––of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

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

⁴ For it is impossible––as to these who have been, once for all, illuminated, who have tasted also of the heavenly free–gift, and have been made, partners, in a Holy Spirit, ⁵ And have tasted God’s utterance to be, sweet, mighty works also of a coming age, ⁶ And who have fallen away, again, to be remoulding them into repentance; seeing they are again crucifying unto themselves the Son of God, and holding him up as an example. ⁷ For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God; ⁸ But, should it be bringing forth thorns and briars, it is disapproved, and, unto cursing, nigh,––whose end is for burning.

¹⁰ Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions,––righteous–appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force.

²² Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water;

¹⁵ Using oversight––lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God,––lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled: ¹⁶ Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, like Esau,––who, for the sake of one meal, yielded up his own firstborn rights;

⁷ Be mindful of them who are guiding you, who, indeed, have spoken unto you, the word of God: the outgoing of whose behaviour, reviewing, be imitating, their 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.

² To the end that, no longer, in men’s covetings, but in God’s will, ye may live, the still remaining time. ³ For, sufficient, is the bygone time––to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine–drinkings, revellings, drinking–bouts, and impious idolatries:––

⁹ For, he to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification from his old sins.

¹ But there arose false–prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false–teachers,––men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction; ² And, many, will follow out their wanton ways,––by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹ Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.

⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned,––but, a full reward, ye may duly receive. ⁹ Every one that taketh a lead, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not, God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same, hath, both the Father and the Son.
¹⁰ If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say;

²² And, on some, indeed, have mercy,––such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them;

²² And, on some, indeed, have mercy,––such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them; ²³ But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.

²³ But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.

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,––

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and endurance, and that thou canst not bear bad men, and thou hast tried them who were affirming themselves to be apostles, and they were not, and hast found them false;

²³ and, her children, will I slay with death; ––and all the assemblies shall get to know, that, I, am he that searcheth reins and hearts, and will give unto you, each one, according to your works.

⁴ Nevertheless, thou hast a few names, in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, because they are, worthy.

⁸ But, as for the timid, and disbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the false, their part, is in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone,––which is the second death.

²⁷ And in nowise shall there enter into it, anything common, or he that doeth abomination and falsehood,––but only they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

¹⁵ Outside, are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the unchaste, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and doing falsehood.
