Of which I became a helper according to the administration of God, which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God,

the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified.

Because of this, I too, no longer covering over it, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow he who tempts was tempting you, and our labor became in vain.

when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you I told you these things?

according to the good-news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.

the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.

And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.

For which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, became in transgression.

And without controversy great is the mystery of piety. God was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by heavenly agents, proclaimed among nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory.

Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

Who saved us and who called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.

for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of Gentiles.

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

but in his own times he made known his word by preaching, which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.

Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

For this man was considered worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he who built it has more esteem than the house.

And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things that were going to be spoken,

Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They are always led astray in their heart, and they did not know my ways.

But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong shouting and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence,

And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils.

for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated

Now a summation about the things being spoken is, we have such a high priest who was seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

who serve for an example and shadow of the heavenly things. Just as Moses who was divinely warned while going to complete the tabernacle, for he says, See thou make all things according to the pattern that was shown thee on the mou

For if that first one was faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.

For a tabernacle was prepared, the first in which was also the lampstand, and the table, and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the Holy place.

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

For of every commandment according to law that was spoken by Moses to all the people, after taking the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously?

By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, because of which he was reported to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through it, he who died still speaks.

By faith Enoch was transferred to not see death, and he was not found, because God transferred him. For before his removal he was reported to be pleasing to God.

By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac.

By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.

By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.

(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.

For ye also know that wanting afterward to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though having sought it with tears.

For they did not bear that which was commanded, if even a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.

And so fearful was that which was made visible, that Moses said, I am terrified and trembling.

Know ye, brother Timothy who was set free is with whom I will see you, if he comes sooner.

For he observes himself, and goes away, and straightaway forgets what kind of man he was.

Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you?

Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected.

And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God.

And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way?

Behold the wage of the workmen who reaped your fields. The man who was defrauded by you cries out. And the outcries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of Lord of hosts.

Elijah was a man of the same nature as we. And by prayer, he asked for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

To whom it was revealed, that they were serving not themselves, but you, those things that were now reported to you by those who preached good-news to you in Holy Spirit, which was sent forth from heaven, into which things heavenly

who was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you.

but the word of Lord endures into the age. And this is the word, the good-news that was preached to you.

Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

For good-news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.

For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by Holy Spirit.

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

Beloved, making all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the sanctified.

And in fear save some, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment that was stained by the flesh.

John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

I am the Alpha and the Omega, says Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

and having in his right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. And the sight of him was as the sun shines in its strength.

I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne

similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.

And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four beings containing eyes in front and back.

And the first being was similar to a lion, and the second being was similar to a young bull, and the third being having a face like a man, and the fourth being was similar to a flying eagle.

And the four beings, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming.

And none in heaven above nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book or to see in it.

And I wept much because none was found worthy to open the book or to see in it.

And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the beings and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,

And behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, and so that he might conquer.

And another horse came forth, fiery red. And it was given to him (to him who sits on it) to take peace from the earth, so that they would kill each other. And a great sword was given to him.

And behold, a green horse, and he who sits on top of it. His name was Death, and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with starvation, and with what is d

And a white robe was given to them each, and it was said to them that they should still rest a time, until also their fellow bondmen, and their brothers, and those going to be killed as they too, would be fulfilled.

And I saw another agent ascending from the sun-rising, having a seal of the living God. And he cried out in a great voice to the four agents to whom it was given to them to harm the earth and the sea,

And another agent came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he would give with the prayers of all the sanctified upon the golden altar before the throne.

And the first sounded, and there occurred hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burn

And the second agent sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood,

and the third part of the creatures in the sea (those having lives) died, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

And the fourth agent sounded, and the third part of the sun was struck, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them would be darkened. And the day did not shine the third part of
