Confession » Of Christ
And I say unto you - Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
I, indeed, am immersing you, in water, unto repentance, - but, he who, after me, cometh is, mightier than I, whose, sandals, I am not worthy to bear, he, will immerse you, in Holy Spirit and fire:
Wherefore, I give you to know - that, no one, in God's Spirit speaking, saith - Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say - Lord Jesus! save in the Holy Spirit.
Whosoever shall confess, that, Jesus Christis the Son of God, God, in him, abideth, and, he, in God.
Hereby, do ye perceive the Spirit of God: - every spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ as having come, in flesh, is, of God; And, every spirit that doth not confess Jesus, of God, is not. And, this, is the spirit of the Antichrist, touching which ye have heard that it cometh: even now, is it, in the world, already.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, - but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many, will say unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out, - and, in thy name, many works of power, perform? And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you, - Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens; But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
(John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying - the same, was he that said - He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)

These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews, - for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.

We know that, this man, is, a sinner. read more.
He, therefore, answered - Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, - That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see! They said, therefore, unto him - What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes? He answered them - I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples? And they reviled him, and said - Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses', disciples: - We, know, that, unto Moses, hath God spoken; but, as for this man, we know not whence he is. The man answered, and said unto them - Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth. Out of age-past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing. They answered and said unto him - In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said - Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man? He answered and said- And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him? Jesus said unto him - Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he. And, he, said - I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
He, therefore, answered - Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know, - That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see! They said, therefore, unto him - What did he unto thee?

And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus. And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, - and the eunuch saith - Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?
When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
Then said Paul - John, immersed with an immersion of repentance, unto the people, saying, that, on him who was coming after him, they should believe, - that is, on Jesus. And, when they heard this , they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
That, if thou shalt confess the declaration with thy mouth - That Jesus is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy hear - That, God, raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved; - For, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation. For the scripture saith - No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?
If we say - We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;
He that saith - I understand him! And, his commandments, is not keeping, is false, and, in him, the truth is not!
Doer » Of the word
But, he, said - Yea rather! - Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!

For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous; For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, - Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing - or, even excusing, them: -
Howbeit, now, the doing also, complete ye, in order that, even according to the forwardness of the desiring, so, may be the completing - out of what ye have.
Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only - reasoning yourselves astray; Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, - For he observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him, - what manner of man, he was! read more.
But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming - not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be. If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one's, religious observance is, vain: Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this - to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.
