In that day, will Yahweh of hosts become A crown of beauty, and A diadem of majesty, - Unto the remnant of his people: Even a spirit of justice - to him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.

Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on - if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ Jesus: - Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however, - the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out, With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. read more.

Wherefore, dismissing the elementary discourse concerning the Christ, unto maturity, let us be tending, not, again, a foundation, laying down - of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God, Of immersions - in respect of teaching, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment age-abiding; - And, this, will we do, if at least, God, permit.

Putting away, therefore, all vice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envyings and all detractions, As new-born babes, for the pure milk that is for the mind, eagerly crave, that, thereby, ye may grow unto salvation: - If ye have tasted for yourselves that, gracious, is the Lord, -



For ye, as many as, into Christ, have been immersed, have put Christ, on: There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus: Now, if, ye, are of Christ, by consequence ye are, Abraham's seed, according to promise, heirs.

The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God; And, if children, heirs also - heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, - if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

So also, we, when we were infants, under the elementary principles of the world, were held in servitude; But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law, - That, them who were under law, he might redeem, that, the sonship, we might duly receive; - read more.

For the sake of discipline, persevere! As towards sons, God, beareth himself, towards you; for who is a son whom a father doth not discipline? If however ye are without discipline, whereof, all, have received a share, then, are ye, bastards, and, not sons. Furthermore, indeed, the fathers of our flesh, we used to have, as administrators of discipline, and we used to pay deference: shall we not, much rather, submit ourselves to the Father of our spirits and, live? read more.
For, they, indeed, for a few days, according to that which seemed good to them, were administering discipline; but, he, unto that which is profitable, with view to our partaking of his holiness:

For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: - If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you, How that, by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret, - even as I before wrote in brief, - read more.
Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ, - Which, in other generations, had not been made known unto the sons of men, as it hath, now, been revealed by his holy apostles and prophets, in Spirit; - That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message, -

I say, then - Hath God cast off his people? Far be it! For, I also, am an Israelite, - of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved.

Thy prophets, have they slain, thine altars, have they overthrown, and, I, am left alone, and they are seeking my life! read more.
But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal. Thus, then, in the present season also, a remnant, by way of an election of favour, hath come into being. If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour! What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained: - the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; - Even as it is written - God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor, - eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, - until this very day; And, David, saith - Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them, Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down. I say then - Did they stumble in order that they might fall? Far be it! But, by their fall, salvation hath come unto the nations, to the end of provoking them to jealousy. If, moreover, their fail, is the riches of a world, and their loss, the riches of nations, how much rather their fullness? Unto you, however, am I speaking, - you of the nations; inasmuch, indeed, then, as, I, am an apostle to the nations, my ministry, I glorify, If by any means I may provoke to jealousy my own flesh, and save some from among them; - For, if, the casting away of them, hath become the reconciling of a world, what shall, the taking of them in addition, be, but life from among the dead? If, moreover, the first fruit is holy, the lump shall be also; and, if the root is holy, the branches shall be also. If, however, some of the branches, have been broken out, and, thou, being a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and hast become a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive,

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry, - As, to prudent men, I speak, - judge, ye, what I say: - The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ? read more.
Because, one loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake. Be looking at Israel after the flesh: - are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar?

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, So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God, With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long-suffering with joy, read more.

Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed. They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: -

Beloved! be not held in surprise by the burning among you, which, for putting you to the proof, is befalling you, as though a, surprising, thing were happening unto you; But, in so far as ye are taking fellowship in the Christ's sufferings, rejoice! in order that, in the revealing of his glory also, ye may rejoice with exultation: If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy are ye ! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the Spirit of God, unto you is bringing rest.

Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour Jesus Christ, Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; - As, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence, - read more.

Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, - and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.

And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, - and said - Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying - For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people, Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, - and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding.
