And ye

being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner -stone,

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit --

and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,

and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

God

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?'

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;'

I make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the freemen of the enemy.

God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,

God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.

For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!'

because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them?
