Turn back now to them according to this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive trees, and their houses, and the hundredth of the silver and the grain, the new wine and the new oil which ye impose upon them. And they will say, We will turn back, and we will not seek from them; thus will we do as thou sayest And I shall call the priests and shall cause them to swear to do according to this word. Also I shook out my arm, and said, Thus God will shake out every man who will not raise up this word from his house and from his labor; so shall he be shaken out and emptied. And all the convocation will say, Amen, and praise Jehovah. And the people did according to this word. Also from the day which it was commanded me to be their prefect in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year and even to the thirty and second year to Arthasatha the king, twelve years I and my brethren ate not the bread of the prefect And the former prefects that were before me made heavy upon the people, and they will take from them in bread and wine, the last silver forty shekels; also their young men ruled over the people: and I did not thus from the face of the fear of God. And also I held fast upon the work of this wall, and we bought not a field: and all my young men being gathered there for the work. And the Jews and prefects a hundred and fifty men, and they coming to us from the nations that were round about us; to my table And what was done for one day, one ox, six choice sheep; and birds were done for me, and within ten days with every wine for abundance: and with this, the bread of the prefect I sought not for the servitude was heavy upon this people Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I did for this people

And ye were imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Holy Spirit: So that ye were types to all believing in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God went out; so that we have no need to speak any thing.

Take a pattern of affliction, my brethren, and of longsuffering, the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. Behold, we esteem those enduring happy. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and ye see the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

Dearly beloved, I beseech as sojourners and strangers, to keep off from fleshly passions, which war against the soul; Having your turning back good in the nations: that, in what they speak against you as doing evil, from good works, they having beheld, might praise God in the day of inspection. Be subjected to every creation proceeding from man on account of the Lord: whether to the king, as having superiority; read more.
Or to chiefs, as sent by him for the punishing of them doing evil, and the praise of them doing good. (For so is the will of God, those doing good to silence the want of knowledge of the foolish men:) As free, and as not having liberty for a covering of wickedness, but as the servants of God. Honour all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. Servants being subjected to masters in all fear; not only to the good and equitable, but also to the crooked. For this is grace, if any by consciousness of God bear grief, suffering unjustly. For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God. For to this were ye called: for also Christ suffered for you, leaving behind to you an underwriting, that ye should follow upon his footsteps: Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth: Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly; Who himself bear up our sins in his body upon the wood, that we, removed from sins, should live to justice: by whose bloody mark ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but now have turned about to the Shepherd and inspector of your souls.

For so once also the holy women, hoping in God, arranged themselves, being subjected to their own husbands: (As Sara listened to Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are,) doing good, and not fearing any terror.

The just one perished and none put upon the heart: men of kindness being taken away, for none understanding that the just one was taken away from the face of evil He shall come into peace: they shall rest upon their beds, he went in his justice.

Wo to me! for I was as the gatherings of the fruit harvest, as the gleanings of the vintage, no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fig. The merciful one perished from the earth, and none upright among men: they all will lie in wait for bloods; they will hunt each his brother with a net.

For yet Christ, we being weak, Recording to the time died for the impious. For scarcely for the just will any one die: yet for the good perhaps some also would venture to die. And God recommends his own love to us, that we yet being sinful, Christ died for us. read more.
Much more then, justified now in his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.

And ye were imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Holy Spirit: So that ye were types to all believing in Macedonia and Achaia.

For they themselves proclaim of us what entrance we have to you, and how ye turned to God from images to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from the heavens, whom be raised from the dead, Jesus, saving us from coming wrath.

Ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober. For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night. read more.
And we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on the coat of mail of faith and love; and a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God set us not for wrath, but for the acquisition of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, He having died for us, that, whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort one another, and build up one another, as also ye do.
