From the desert and this Lebanon, and even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and even to the great sea, from the going down of the sun, shall be your bound. No man shall stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, I will be with thee: I will not forsake thee and I will not leave thee. Be strong and be active; for thou shalt cause Israel to inherit the land which I sware to their fathers to give to them. Only be strong and be greatly active, to watch to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: thou shalt not turn aside from it to the right and to the left, so that thou shalt be wise in all things where thou shalt go. And the book of this law shall not depart from thy mouth; and meditate thou in it day and night, so that thou shalt watch to do according to all written in it: for then thou shalt prosper thy ways, and then thou shalt be wise. Did I not command thee? Be strong and be active; thou shalt not fear and thou shalt not bend: for Jehovah thy God is with thee in all where thou shalt go.

And Jehovah will say to Aaron, Thou, and thy sons, and thy father's house with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the holy place: and thou and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

And my anger was kindled against him in that day, and I forsook them, and I hid my face from them, and he was for consuming, and many evils finding him, and afflictions, and he said in that day, Is it not because God is not in the midst of me these evils find us? Hiding, I will hide my face in that day for all the evils which he did, for he turned to other gods. And now write ye for you this song, and teach it to the sons of Israel: put it in their mouth so that this song shall be to me for a testimony among the sons of Israel. For I shall bring him to the land which I sware to his fathers, flowing milk and honey; and he ate and was satisfied and was fat, and turned to other gods, and they served them and despised me and brake my covenant And it was when many evils and afflictions shall find him, and this song testified before him for a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of his seed; for I knew his formation which he did this day, before I shall bring him to the land which I sware And Moses will write this song in that day, and will teach it to the sons of Israel And he will command Joshua the son of Nun, and will say, Be strong and active: for thou shalt bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I sware to them, and I will be with thee.

These twelve Jesus sent, having announced to them, saying, Go not in the way of the nations, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going, proclaim, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. read more.
Cure the sick, cleanse the leprous, rouse the dead, cast out demons; as a gift ye have received, as a gift give. Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; Nor wallet for the way, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor rod: for the laborer is worthy of his food. And to whatever city or town ye should come in, examine who in it is worthy; and there remain till ye go forth. And entering into a house, do ye greet it. And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you. And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet. Verily I say to you, it shall be more supportable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved. And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. The disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord. Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household? Therefore fear them not; for nothing has been covered, which shall not be revealed; and concealed, that shall not be known. What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses. And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell. Are not two little sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the earth without your Father. And also the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; ye have the preeminence over many sparrows. Every one therefore who shall agree with me before men, I also will agree with him before my Father, him in the heavens. But whoever should deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father, him in the heavens. Think not that I came to cast peace upon earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the bride against her mother-in-law. And a man's enemies, they pertaining to his household. He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me. And whoever takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He finding his soul shall lose it; and he having lost his soul for my sake shall find it. He receiving you, receives me; and he receiving me, receives him sending me. He receiving a prophet in a prophet's name, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he receiving the just in the name of the just, shall take the reward of the just And whoever should give to drink one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

And as many as receive you not, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the heap of dust under your feet for testimony to them. Truly I say to you, It shall be more supportable for the Sodomites or Gomorrhites in the day of judgment, than that city.

And after these the Lord showed forth other seventy, and sent them together two and two before his face into every city and place, where he was about to come. Then said he to them, Truly the harvest much, and the laborers few: implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Retire: behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. read more.
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor shoes: and greet none by the way. And in whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. And if truly the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: and if not so, it shall turn back to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things of them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things set before you. And cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, having gone into its spacious ways, say, And the dust having cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off to you but know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn nigh to you. And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaurn, indeed even lifted up to heaven, shalt be cast down to hades. He hearing you hears me and he rejecting you rejects me; and he rejecting me rejects him having sent me.

This proclamation I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the gifts of prophecy led before upon thee, that thou in them mightest war the good warfare; Having faith, and a good consciousness; which some having rejected concerning faith suffered shipwreck: Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they should not be taught to blaspheme.

An elder shouldest thou not reprove, but beseech as a father; the younger as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. Honour widows, truly widows. read more.
And if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious to their own house, and to return recompenses to their progenitors: for this is good and acceptable before God. And she truly a widow, and forsaken, has hoped in God, and remains in supplications and prayers night and day. And she living luxuriously is dead, living. And these things proclaim, that they might be irreprehensible. And if any for his own, and chiefly for his own household provide not, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbelieving. Let not a widow be chosen less than sixty years, having been wife of one man, Testified of in good works; if she have brought up children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of the holy, if she relieved the pressed, if she followed every good work. And the younger widows reject: for when they conduct themselves arrogantly against Christ, they wish to marry: Having judgment, for they put away the first faith. And at the same time also they learn to be idle, going round about the houses; and not only idle, but also indulging in idle talk, and occupied with unnecessary things, speaking things not becoming. I wish therefore the younger to marry, to bear children, to rule the house, to give no occasion to him opposing for reproach. For already have some turned aside after Satan. If any man or woman faithful have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be loaded; that it may relieve the truly widows. Let the elders having presided well be deemed worthy of double honour, chiefly they being wearied in word and doctrine. For the writing says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox grinding. And, The laborer worthy of his hire. Against an elder receive not an accusation from without, except from two or three witnesses. Them having sinned rebuke before all, that the rest also have fear. I call to witness before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that thou watch these things without preference, doing nothing by bending. Put hands swiftly upon none, nor participate in others' sins: keep thyself pure.

By which I remind thee of the cause to light up the favor of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God gave not to us the spirit of timidity; but of power, and love, and of soundness of mind. Therefore shouldest thou not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his imprisoned: but partake of afflictions with the good news according to the power of God; read more.
Who having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, given us in Christ Jesus before eternal times, And now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, having truly left death unemployed, and having brought life and immortality to light by the good news: To which I was set a herald, and sent, teacher of the nations. By which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able to watch my deposits to that day. Hold the model of sound words, which thou didst hear of me, in the faith and love which in Christ Jesus.

I call to witness before God there fore, and the Lord Jesus Christ, being about to judge the living and the dead according to his appearance and his kingdom; Proclaim the word; keep fixed seasonably, and unseasonably; refute, censure, beseech, in all longsnffering and teaching. For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report; read more.
And truly from the truth will they turn away the hearing, and be turned aside to fictions. And thou be sober in all things, suffer ill treatment, do the work of the bearer of good news, render thy service perfectly certain. For I am already poured out, and the time of my deliverance has been fixed. I have contended earnestly the good contest, I have completed the course, I have kept the faith: As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.



Son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and hear thou the word from my mouth, and admonish them from me. In my saying to the unjust, Dying, thou shalt die; and thou admonished him not, and thou spakest not to admonish the unjust from his way of injustice to preserve him alive; this unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from thy hand. And if thou hast admonished the unjust one, and he turned not back from his evil and from his way of injustice; he shall die in his iniquity and thou deliveredst thy soul. read more.
And in the just turning back from his justice and doing evil, and I gave a stumbling-block before his face, he shall die: for thou didst not admonish him, in his sins he shall die, and his justice shall not be remembered which he did; and his blood will I seek from thy hand. And if thou admonishedst the just for the just not to sin, and he sin not, living, he shall live, for he was admonished; and thou didst deliver thy soul.

In my saying to the, unjust, O unjust one, dying, thou shalt die; and thou spakest not to warn the unjust from his way, that unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from thine hand.

And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet.

Wherefore I testify to you in this day, that I pure from the blood of all. For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God.

And many false prophets shall be raised up, and deceive many. And because anxiety shall increase, the love of many shall be cooled. But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved.

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many.

For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just. Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.



If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.





For I think that God has exhibited us the last sent, as exposed to death; for we were a theatre to the world, and to messengers, and to men. We foolish for Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we weak, and ye strong; ye honourable, and we dishonoured Until this present hour we also hunger, and thirst, and we are naked, and are cuffed, and are unsteady. read more.
And we are wearied, working with our own hands: being reviled, we praise; being driven out, we hold up Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.

Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. read more.
And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved. And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. The disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord. Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household?

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name. And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another.

And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

These have I spoken, that ye should not be offended. They shall make you excluded from the synagogue: but the hour comes that every one having slain you should think to bring service to God. And these things shall they do to you, for they know not the Father, nor me. read more.
But these have I spoken to you, that when the hour should come, ye should remember them, for I said to you. And these I said not to you from the beginning, for I was with you.




And he conquering, and keeping my works till the end, I will give him power over the nations: And he will rule them with an iron rod; as vessels of earthen ware shall they be rubbed together: as I also have received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.












And these are they sown on good earth; who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.


My heart was prepared, O God, my heart was prepared: I will sing and play on the harp.

Song of chanting to David. My heart being prepared, O God, I will sing and play on the harp, also mine honor.







He being unjust, let him be unjust yet: and he being filthy, let him be filthy yet: and the just, let him do justice yet: and the holy, let him be holy yet.

For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man observing the face of his creation in a mirror: For he observed himself, and went away, and straightway forgot of what kind he was. And he having stooped into the perfect law of liberty, and remained, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work, he shall be happy in his doing.








And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved.






Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.

These spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; honour thy Son, that thy Son honour thee: As thou gavest him the power of all flesh, that every one which thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life. And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. read more.
I honoured thee upon earth: I finished the work which thou hast given me that I should do. And now, honour thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the honour which I had with thee before the world was. I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what slew he him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother just. Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.
