The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: - if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ's, this, let him reckon, again, with himself - that, even as, he, is Christ's, so, also are, we.

This, let such a one reckon - that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.

Truth of Christ is in me, that, this boasting, shall not be silenced unto me, in the regions of Achaia.

What I am saying, not according to the Lord, am I saying, but as in foolishness, - in this my boastful confidence!

I know a man in Christ, who, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not, God, knoweth, such a one as this, caught away, as far as the third heaven;

And I know such a man as this, whether in the body or apart from the body, I know not, - God, knoweth,

On behalf of such a one as this, will I boast, but, on behalf of myself, will I not boast, save in my weaknesses; -

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

For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, - save that, I myself, would not allow myself to be a burden unto you? Forgive me this wrong!

Lo! this third time, I am holding myself, in readiness, to come unto you, and I will not allow myself to be a burden; for I seek not yours, but you; - for, the children, ought not to lay up, for the parents, but the parents for the children; -

All this time, think ye, that, unto you, we are making a defence? Before God in Christ, we speak; - but all these things, beloved, for your upbuilding.

This third time, am I coming unto you: - at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter be established.

For we rejoice - whensoever, we, are weak, and, ye, are, strong. This, also we pray for - your restoration: -

For this cause, these things, while absent, am I writing, that I may not, when present, deal sharply - according to the authority which, the Lord, hath given me, for building up and not for pulling down.

But, this was because of the false brethren secretly introduced, - who, indeed, came in secretly to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: -

Only that we should remember, the destitute, - as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.

This only, am I wishing to learn from you: - by works of law, received ye, the Spirit? or by a believed report?

And, this, I say - a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.

For, the whole law, in one word, is summed up - namely in this, - Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

And, as many as, by this rule, shall walk, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

For this cause, I also, - having heard of the faith on your part in the Lord Jesus, and that towards all the saints,

Over-above all principality, authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one,

For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this hath come to pass - not from you, of God, the free-gift!

For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: -

Unto me - the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father, -

Now this, He ascended; what is it, - save - that he also descended into the under parts of the earth?

This, therefore, am I saying and protesting in the Lord: - that, no longer, ye walk even as, the nations, walk - in the vanity of their minds,

For, this, ye know, if ye take note - that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

For this cause, do not become foolish, but have discernment as to what is the will of the Lord;

For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and will cleave unto his wife, and, they two, shall become, one flesh.

This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; -

Ye children, be obedient unto your parents in the Lord, for this is right:

Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but, against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-holders, of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies.

For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand!

Whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may get to know the things concerning us, and he may encourage your hearts.

Being persuaded of this very thing - that, he who hath begun in you a good work, will perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ;

According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all, - because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad-message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.

And, this, I pray - that, your love, may be, yet more and more, pre-eminent in personal knowledge and all perception,

What then? That, in any way, whether in pretext, or in truth, Christ, is declared, and, in this, I rejoice - yea, and will rejoice!

For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation - through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, -

But, if living in flesh, is Christ , this, unto me, is a fruit of work, - and, what I shall choose, I make not known:

And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide, - yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith;

And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers, - the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God;

As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.

For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard of you , cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking - that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,

Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, -

This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;

Ye children! be obedient unto your parents in all things, for, this, is, well pleasing, in the Lord;

Whom I have sent unto you, to this very end, - that ye may get to know the things which concern us, and he may encourage you hearts:

And, for this cause, we, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us - which was God's, ye welcomed it - not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, - which is also inwardly working itself in you who believe.

For this cause, I also, no longer concealing my anxiety, sent, that I might get to know your faith, lest by any means he that tempteth, should have tempted you, and, in vain, should have been our toil.

For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith;

For, this, is a thing willed of God, your sanctification, - that ye should abstain from unchastity,

For, this, unto you, do we say, by a word of the Lord, - that, we, the living who are left unto the Presence of the Lord, shall in nowise get before them who have fallen asleep;

In everything, give thanks, - for, this, is a thing willed of God, in Christ Jesus, towards you:

And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood, -

For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!

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;

Knowing this - that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,

Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, - that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding.

This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.

This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men - specially, of such as believe.

Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, - abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.

Howbeit, if, any widow, hath, children or grandchildren, let them be learning - first, unto their own house, to be shewing reverence, and, returns, to be making unto their progenitors; for, this, is acceptable before God;

Thou knowest this - that all they who are in Asia have turned away from me, - of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

For this cause, am I enduring, all things, for the sake of the chosen, in order that, they also, may obtain, the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus along with glory age-abiding.

Howbeit, the firm foundation of God, standeth, having this seal - The Lord hath acknowledged them who are his, and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord stand aloof from unrighteousness.

But, of this, be taking note - that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: -

This witness, is true, - for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,

For, peradventure, for this cause, was he separated for an hour, that, as an age-abiding possession, thou mightest have him back, -

For unto which of the messengers said he at any time - My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again - I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, - For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

For this cause, it behoveth us, with unwonted firmness, to be holding fast unto the things that have been heard, lest, at any time, we drift away.

how shall, we, escape, if, so great a salvation as this, we have neglected, - which, indeed, having received, a beginning, of being spoken through the Lord, by them who heard, unto us was confirmed,

For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy - by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;

Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; - howbeit, they, learned not my ways:

And in this again - They shall not enter into my rest.

Again, he marketh out a certain day, To-day, in David, saying - after so long a time as this, - according as it hath been said before: - To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts.

And, for this cause, is he obliged - as for the people, so also, for himself, - to be offering for sins;

Thus, also the Christ, glorified not himself to become a high-priest, but he that spake unto him - My Son, art, thou, I, this day, have begotten thee;

And, this, will we do, if at least, God, permit.

For, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, -

Now consider, how great, this man was, to whom, a tenth, Abraham gave out of the choicest spoils, Yea Abraham the Patriarch.

By as much as this, hath, Jesus, become surety of a better covenant also.

For, such a high-priest as this, for us, was evensuited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;

Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, - for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.

A crowning point on the things being spoken: - such a one as this, have we, as high-priest, who hath sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, -

For, every high-priest, for the offering of both gifts and sacrifices, is constituted; whence it was necessary for, this one also, to have something which he might offer.

Because, this, is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: - giving my laws into their understanding, upon their hearts also, will I inscribe them: and I will become their God, and, they, shall become my people;

The Holy Spirit making this evident - that, not yet, hath been manifested, the way through the Holy place, so long as the first tent hath a standing.

But, when Christ approached, as high-priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, -

And, for this cause, of a new covenant, is he mediator, - to the end that, death coming to pass for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the age-abiding inheritance;

Saying - This, is the blood of the covenant which, God, hath sent in command unto you:

And, inasmuch as it is in store for men - once for all to die, but after this, judgment,

But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God:

This is the covenant which I will covenant unto them after these days, saith the Lord, - Giving my laws upon their hearts, upon their understandings also, will I inscribe them,

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, according to the custom of some, but exhorting, and by so much the more as this, by as much as ye behold, the day, drawing near.
