And, being present with you, and having come short, I was not burdensome to anyone, - for, my deficiency, the brethren, coming from Macedonia, helped to make up; - and, in everything, without burden unto you, I kept, myself - and will keep!

Not that, as to coming short, I am speaking, for, I, have learned, in whatsoever circumstances I am, to be, independent:

I know what it is even to be kept low, and I know what it is to have more than enough, - in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret - both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:

Let us therefore fear, lest at any time, although there is left behind a promise of entering into his rest, - any one from amongst you should be deemed, to have come short;

But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.

That, the joy-shout of the lawless, is short, and, the rejoicing of the impious, for a moment?

I also, have a mind like you, I, fall not short, of you, But who hath not such things as these?

Just as ye know, I too, know, I, fall not short, of you.

Young lions, have come short, and suffered hunger, but, they who seek Yahweh, shall not lack any good thing.

Better slighted, and have a servant, than to honour oneself, and come short of bread.

For too short is the couch to stretch oneself out, - And, the coverlet, too narrow, when one draweth up his feet.

Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.

Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to say, - Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.

For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, - Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!

For who is there of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?
