<sup>14</sup> `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness—the faithful and true—the chief of the creation of God; ¹⁵ I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. ¹⁶ So—because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth; ¹⁷ because thou sayest—I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. ¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform; ²⁰ lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne. ²² He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.'

²⁴ because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

¹ Also you—being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

⁵ even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

¹³ And you—being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh—He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,

⁶ and she who is given to luxury, living—hath died;

⁹ I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty—yet thou art rich—and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of the Adversary.

¹³ I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell—where the throne of the Adversary is —and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

¹⁹ I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works—and the last are more than the first.

⁵ and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,

⁶ and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,

²⁸ and charge Jehoshua, and strengthen him, and harden him, for he doth pass over before this people, and he doth cause them to inherit the land which thou seest.

⁴ And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.

³ and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father;

² and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah—only, not with a perfect heart.

⁴ The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen. ⁵ But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

⁵ I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing.

³ Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees strengthen.

¹⁰ Blind are his watchmen—all of them, They have not known, All of them are dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.

⁶ `On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves, ⁷ And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem A praise in the earth.

⁸ I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed. ⁹ Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah: ¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

¹⁶ The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

²⁷ Weighed—Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.

¹⁶ For lo, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he doth not inspect, The shaken off he doth not seek, And the broken he doth not heal, The standing he doth not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he doth eat, And their hoofs he doth break off.

² whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you—they have their reward! ³ `But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth, ⁴ that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

⁵ `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

²⁸ so also ye outwardly indeed do appear to men righteous, and within ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. ²⁹ `Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous, <sup>30</sup> and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. <sup>31</sup> So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them who did murder the prophets; <sup>32</sup> and ye—ye fill up the measure of your fathers. <sup>33</sup> `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?
³⁴ `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city; <sup>35</sup> that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar: <sup>36</sup> verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. <sup>37</sup> `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will. ³⁸ Lo, left desolate to you is your house;

⁴² `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come; <sup>43</sup> and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through; <sup>44</sup> because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come. <sup>45</sup> `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season? ⁴⁶ Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so; ⁴⁷ verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him. ⁴⁸ `And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come, ⁴⁹ and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know, ⁵¹ and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.

¹³ `Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

³³ Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is; ³⁴ as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch; ³⁵ watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning; ³⁶ lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping; ³⁷ and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, ³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

²³ And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

²⁸ `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood, <sup>29</sup> for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock, <sup>30</sup> and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. <sup>31</sup> `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

¹ I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign— ² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching, ³ for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers—itching in the hearing, ⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

⁷ And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

⁴ `But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!

¹⁵ `lo, I do come as a thief; happy is he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness,' —

⁶¹ And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters—Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not by thy covenant. ⁶² And I—I have established My covenant with thee, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah. ⁶³ So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

⁴³ And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have done.

³¹ And ye have remembered your ways that are evil, And your doings that are not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations.

⁴² `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come; ⁴³ and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

³³ Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

³⁶ lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping;

³⁹ `And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through; ⁴⁰ and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'

² for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

⁴ and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; ⁵ all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,
⁶ so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

²⁰ O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

¹³ The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that is in Christ Jesus;

¹ Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

¹³ and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding you,

¹ This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding you,

¹⁰ and it will come—the day of the Lord—as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

⁵ remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place—if thou mayest not reform;

²¹ and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform; ²² lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation—if they may not repent of their works,

²⁵ but that which ye have—hold ye, till I may come;

¹¹ Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

¹⁸ and I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.'

¹⁵ And Mordecai went out from before the king, in royal clothing of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Shushan hath rejoiced and been glad;

¹⁴ When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in Salmon.

⁸ At all times let thy garments be white, and let not perfume be lacking on thy head.

⁹ Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly—as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!

¹ Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem—the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.

⁶ Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works are works of iniquity, And a deed of violence is in their hands.

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah—to be beautified.'

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

⁶ And we are as unclean—all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.

³ And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger. ⁴ And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: `Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' And he saith unto him, `See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.' ⁵ He also said, `Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing, ⁶ and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying:

¹¹ `And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.

⁵ and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.

³⁵ but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;

³⁶ watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

¹⁵ And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,)

⁴ but what saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' ⁵ So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been; ⁶ and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

²³ and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted.

⁵ He who is overcoming—this one—shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

⁴ And around the throne are thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;

¹¹ and there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed—even as they.

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands,

¹³ And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes—who are they, and whence came they?' <sup>14</sup> and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb;

¹³ and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of men—seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven.

⁸ and there was given to her that she may be arrayed with fine linen, pure and shining, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.'

¹⁴ And the armies in the heaven were following him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen—white and pure;

³² and now, if Thou takest away their sin—and if not—blot me, I pray thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.' ³³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Whoso hath sinned against Me—I blot him out of My book;

¹⁴ desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

²⁵ And the men of Israel say, `Have ye seen this man who is coming up? for, to reproach Israel he is coming up, and it hath been—the man who smiteth him, the king doth enrich him with great riches, and his daughter he doth give to him, and his father's house doth make free in Israel.'

²⁸ They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

¹³ His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

¹⁷ And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him.

³² `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;

⁸ `And I say to you, Every one—whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

³ and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

²⁴ And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,

⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

⁴ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

⁸ And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;

⁸ `The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.

¹² and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—according to their works;

¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

¹⁹ and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;'

¹⁰ If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?

¹⁴ Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened.

¹⁰ For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.

¹⁸ For of Jehovah is our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

¹⁷ Righteous is Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

³ And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy, Holy, Holy, is Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth is His glory.'

²² And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.

¹¹ Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'

¹⁴ Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶ Thou winnowest them, and a wind lifteth them up, And a whirlwind scattereth them, And thou—thou rejoicest in Jehovah, In the Holy One of Israel dost boast thyself.

²⁰ So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy One of Israel hath prepared it.

⁴ Our redeemer is Jehovah of Hosts, His name is the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷ Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, `I am Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

⁵ For thy Maker is thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, And thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, `God of all the earth,' He is called.

⁵ Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.

¹⁹ and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

²⁴ saying, `Away! what—to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art—the Holy One of God.'

³² he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father,

³⁴ saying, `Away, what—to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art—the Holy One of God.'

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹⁴ and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,

²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

¹ `To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands—the golden:

¹⁴ `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness—the faithful and true—the chief of the creation of God;

⁸ And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within are full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;'

³ and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it. ⁴ And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it, ⁵ and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁰ and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?'

³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints,

⁷ and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.'

² because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;'

¹¹ And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war,

⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

⁹ Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, `Who is Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God.

³⁴ And in their stumbling, they are helped—a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.

⁷⁰ And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.' <sup>71</sup> And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;' ⁷² and again did he deny with an oath—`I have not known the man.'

⁹ and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' <sup>23</sup> Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make; ²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

²⁰ `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

¹³ `The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him, ¹⁴ and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man—a murderer—to be granted to you,

²⁷ and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

⁹ for a door to me hath been opened—great and effectual—and withstanders are many.

¹² And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, ⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: ¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹³ For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

³ praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

⁸ and if any one for his own—and especially for those of the household—doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

⁷ the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

²² Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son; ²³ every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.

⁴ for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord—Jesus Christ—denying,

² I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars,

¹ And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have known thy works, and that thou hast the name that thou dost live, and thou art dead;

⁷ `And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith he who is holy, he who is true, he who is having the key of David, he who is opening and no one doth shut, and he shutteth and no one doth open!

¹⁰ `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

¹⁵ I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.

⁷ Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

⁸ and all these thy servants have come down unto me, and bowed themselves to me, saying, Go out, thou and all the people who are at thy feet; and afterwards I do go out;' —and he goeth out from Pharaoh in the heat of anger.

³⁰ And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not one dead, ³¹ and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word; ³² both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

³⁶ and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'

¹⁷ and in every province and province, and in every city and city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, gladness and joy are to the Jews, a banquet, and a good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming Jews, for a fear of the Jews hath fallen upon them.

⁸ And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job. ⁹ And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.
¹⁰ And Jehovah hath turned to the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add to all that Job hath—to double.

⁴ Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.

¹⁴ Thus said Jehovah, `The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee is God, And there is none else, no other God.

²³ And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

¹⁴ And come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: `City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.'

²⁰ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet come do peoples, and inhabitants of many cities, ²¹ Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of Hosts—I go, even I. ²² Yea, come in have many peoples, and mighty nations, To seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of Jehovah. ²³ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: In those days take hold do ten men of all languages of the nations, Yea, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying: We go with you, for we heard God is with you!

³⁷ and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, Romans being—they did cast us to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.' ³⁸ And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans, ³⁹ and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city;

¹⁷ Fear, and a snare, and a gin, Are on thee, O inhabitant of the land.

¹⁰ Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;

⁹ And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it is,' And it saith, `Jehovah is my God!'

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.

¹⁴ and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.

⁴¹ watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

⁹ Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of—for a memorial of her.'

¹ And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled—

⁸ first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

¹³ No temptation hath taken you—except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it .

¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand.

¹² is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water is able to make.

¹² Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

⁹ I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

¹³ And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'

¹⁰ and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these—the two prophets—did torment those dwelling upon the land.'

¹⁰ if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹⁴ and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live,

¹² Here is endurance of the saints: here are those keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.'

¹⁴ Near is the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek there doth a mighty one.

²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

⁵ let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord is near;

⁵ and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord—the Righteous Judge—shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁹ murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

³ neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock, ⁴ and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

³ Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it—for the time is nigh!

³ `Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon thee.

¹⁰ fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹² And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

²⁰ he saith—who is testifying these things—`Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

²¹ And he raiseth up the pillars for the porch of the temple, and he raiseth up the right pillar, and calleth its name Jachin, and he raiseth up the left pillar, and calleth its name Boaz;

⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her—to the age. Selah.

³ Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

¹⁵ And ye have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And the Lord Jehovah hath put thee to death, And to His servants He giveth another name.

¹⁸ And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;

³⁵ Round about is eighteen thousand, and the renown of the city is from the day Jehovah is there.'

⁹ and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go,

²⁶ and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all, ²⁷ for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate—more than of her having the husband.'

¹⁵ of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

²² But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father: ¹⁴ I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

⁴ Ye—of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

¹ And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads;

¹⁴ these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.'

² and I, John, saw the holy city—new Jerusalem—coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;

¹⁰ and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God, and her light is like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal, ¹² having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, ¹³ at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates; ¹⁴ and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall; ¹⁶ and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed—furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal; ¹⁷ and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger; ¹⁸ and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city is pure gold—like to pure glass; ¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city is pure gold—as transparent glass. ²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, ²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb; ²⁴ and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it, ²⁵ and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there; ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it; ²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

⁴ and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,

²² Jehovah possessed me—the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.

⁴ Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.

¹⁶ So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Doth bless himself In the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Doth swear by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from Mine eyes.

⁵ And they have said to Jeremiah, `Jehovah is against us for a witness true and faithful, if—according to all the word with which Jehovah thy God doth send thee unto us—we do not so.

²⁰ for as many as are promises of God, in him are the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body—the assembly—who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things —himself—first,

¹ For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

¹⁶ and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the epistle from Laodicea that ye also may read;

⁶ and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;

⁶ And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.

²⁹ O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me, and to keep My commands all the days, that it may be well with them, and with their sons—to the age!

¹⁵ and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah—choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; —whether the gods whom your fathers served, which are beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house—we serve Jehovah.' ¹⁶ And the people answer and say, `Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods; <sup>17</sup> for Jehovah our God is He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who hath done before our eyes these great signs, and doth keep us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed; <sup>18</sup> and Jehovah casteth out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also do serve Jehovah, for He is our God.' <sup>19</sup> And Joshua saith unto the people, `Ye are not able to serve Jehovah, for a God most holy He is; a zealous God He is; He doth not bear with your transgression and with your sins. ²⁰ When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.' ²¹ And the people saith unto Joshua, `No, but Jehovah we do serve.' <sup>22</sup> And Joshua saith unto the people, `Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, `Witnesses!') <sup>23</sup> and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which are in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.' <sup>24</sup> And the people say unto Joshua, `Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.'

²¹ and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `Till when are ye leaping on the two branches? —if Jehovah is God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;' and the people have not answered him a word.

¹¹ But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me. ¹² And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels. ¹³ O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

²⁶ Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my ways.

⁸ Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.

² Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.

⁵ And those bowing themselves On the roofs to the host of the heavens, And those bowing themselves, Swearing to Jehovah, and swearing by Malcham, ⁶ And those removing from after Jehovah, And who have not sought Jehovah, nor besought Him.

²⁴ `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.

³⁷ `He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,

¹² and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;

²⁷ and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple. ²⁸ `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expence, whether he have the things for completing?

¹¹ in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

²² if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ—let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I—I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

³ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

⁸ a two-souled man is unstable in all his ways.

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

¹⁹ Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul loathed? Wherefore hast Thou smitten us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for a time of healing, and lo, terror.

¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out. ² And it hath come to pass, when they say to thee, Whither do we go out? that thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah: Those who are for death—to death, And those who are for the sword, to the sword, And those who are for famine, to famine, And those who are for captivity, to captivity. ³ And I have appointed over them four kinds, an affirmation of Jehovah, The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour. ⁴ And I have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For that which he did in Jerusalem.

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me. ⁹ And I say, `I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbour.'

⁷ and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that they are naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to themselves girdles.

¹⁰ and he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.'
<sup>11</sup> And He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou art naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat, hast thou eaten?'

³⁵ And Jehovah plagueth the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.

¹² lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited; ¹³ and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied: ¹⁴ `And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

⁷ There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.

¹⁹ Who is blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?

³¹ O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah: A wilderness have I been to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Wherefore have My people said, `We mourned, We come not in again unto Thee.'

⁸ And Ephraim saith: `Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours—they find not against me iniquity that is sin.'

⁵ Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed is Jehovah, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.

³ `Happy the poor in spirit—because theirs is the reign of the heavens.

¹² And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;

⁵³ The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

²⁴ `But woe to you—the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.

⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?' <sup>41</sup> Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say—We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

¹⁷ Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God, ¹⁸ and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law, ¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law. ²¹ Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach? ²² thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples? ²³ thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?

²⁴ A wretched man I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

²⁰ by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret—that ye may not be wise in your own conceits—that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

⁸ Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together, ⁹ for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last—as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men; ¹⁰ we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

⁹ for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;

⁷ I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also in the nights my reins instruct me.

⁸ I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.

²⁴ With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.

¹¹ Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel of the Most High despised.

²⁵ And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

³⁰ They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,

²⁰ Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.

²³ Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

² I pray thee, the commandment of a king keep, even for the sake of the oath of God.

³ Revealed is thy nakedness, yea, seen is thy reproach, Vengeance I take, and I meet not a man.

¹ Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.

²⁶ I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.

² `And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches—to abhorrence age-during.

¹¹ Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.

⁵ Lo, I am against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And have removed thy skirts before thy face, And have shewed nations thy nakedness, And kingdoms thy shame,

³ And he hath sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And he hath purified the sons of Levi, And hath refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been to Jehovah bringing nigh a present in righteousness.

⁴⁴ `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field.

⁹ and the prudent answered, saying—Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves.

²¹ so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

⁶ These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, ⁷ `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
<sup>8</sup> the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?' ⁹ others said—`This is he;' and others—`He is like to him;' he himself said, —`I am he .' <sup>10</sup> They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?' ¹¹ he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

¹² and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ¹³ of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

³ if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁷ that the proof of your faith—much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved—may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things; ²¹ I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son; ²³ every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also. ²⁴ Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain, ²⁵ and this is the promise that He did promise us—the life the age-during. ²⁶ These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray; ²⁷ and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

⁴ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. ⁵ He who is overcoming—this one—shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.

¹⁷ because thou sayest—I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,

¹³ And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes—who are they, and whence came they?'

¹¹ `Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal. <sup>12</sup> `Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace, ¹³ and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.'

⁵ and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,

¹⁴ I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,

¹⁷ Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,

¹ To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. —A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

¹¹ With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

⁹ For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.

¹⁰ He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is Jehovah.

¹¹ Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof, ¹² For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.

¹⁰ Chastisement is grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.

³² Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of chastisement putteth it far from him.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement is on them.

³⁰ In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not accepted, Devoured hath your sword your prophets, As a destroying lion.

²⁸ And thou hast said unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.

²⁴ Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make me small.

¹¹ For with thee am I, An affirmation of Jehovah—to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.

¹⁸ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, `Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou art Jehovah my God.

² She hath not hearkened to the voice, She hath not accepted instruction, In Jehovah she hath not trusted, Unto her God she hath not drawn near.

¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

⁹ as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

¹¹ for, lo, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹⁸ and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him, ⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;' ⁷ if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten? ⁸ and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons. ⁹ Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising us, and we were reverencing them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live? ¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation; ¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it—it doth yield.

² I am sleeping, but my heart waketh: The sound of my beloved knocking! `Open to me, my sister, my friend, My dove, my perfect one, For my head is filled with dew, My locks with drops of the night.' ³ I have put off my coat, how do I put it on? I have washed my feet, how do I defile them? ⁴ My beloved sent his hand from the net-work, And my bowels were moved for him.

³³ so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh—at the doors.

³⁶ and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. ³⁷ `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

⁸ but will not rather say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' <sup>23</sup> Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

⁹ And he saith to me, `Write: Happy are they who to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb have been called;' and he saith to me, `These are the true words of God;'

¹³ `I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was one coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near. ¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, `Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit—ye also—upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

³⁰ that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

²² for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, ²³ that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

² have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? ³ have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

²⁰ which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; ²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him—head over all things to the assembly, ²³ which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out, ¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings, ¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour; ¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all, ¹⁸ because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me. ¹⁹ And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you, ²⁰ for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care, ²¹ for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

¹² if we do endure together—we shall also reign together; if we deny him, he also shall deny us;

⁴ because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world—our faith; ⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen.

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron—as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken—as I also have received from my Father;

⁵ and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;
⁶ and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth, ⁷ and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne. ⁸ And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,

² and I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.

¹⁷ because the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'

¹¹ and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—unto death;

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

¹¹ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

⁶ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

¹³ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
