Galatians (A. D. 49)
48N 1 1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor
through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from
among [the] dead,
48N 1 2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
48N 1 3 Grace
to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
48N 1 4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;
48N 1 5 to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
48N 1 6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
48N 1 7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
48N 1 8 But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
48N 1 9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
48N 1 10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
48N 1 11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
48N 1 12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
48N 1 13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
48N 1 14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
48N 1 15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
48N 1 16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
48N 1 17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
48N 1 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
48N 1 19 but
I saw none other of the apostles, but
48N 1 20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
48N 1 21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
48N 1 22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
48N 1 23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
48N 1 24 and they glorified God in me.
48N 2 1 Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
48N 2 2 and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
48N 2 3 (but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)
48N 2 4 and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
48N 2 5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
48N 2 6 But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat -- whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
48N 2 7 but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
48N 2 8 (for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)
48N 2 9 and
recognising the grace given to me,
48N 2 10 only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
48N 2 11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
48N 2 12 for
before that certain came from
48N 2 13 and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
48N 2 14 But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
48N 2 15 We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
48N 2 16 but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
48N 2 17 Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
48N 2 18 For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
48N 2 19 For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
48N 2 20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
48N 2 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
48N 3 1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?
48N 3 2 This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
48N 3 3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?
48N 3 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?
48N 3 5 He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
48N 3 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
48N 3 7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;
48N 3 8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.
48N 3 9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
48N 3 10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;
48N 3 11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
48N 3 12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
48N 3 13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)
48N 3 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
48N 3 15 Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.
48N 3 16 But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.
48N 3 17 Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
48N 3 18 For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.
48N 3 19 Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.
48N 3 20 But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
48N 3 21 [Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;
48N 3 22 but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.
48N 3 23 But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.
48N 3 24 So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
48N 3 25 But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
48N 3 26 for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
48N 3 27 For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.
48N 3 28 There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:
48N 3 29 but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
48N 4 1 Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;
48N 4 2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.
48N 4 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;
48N 4 4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,
48N 4 5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
48N 4 6 But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
48N 4 7 So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
48N 4 8 But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;
48N 4 9 but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?
48N 4 10 Ye observe days and months and times and years.
48N 4 11 I am afraid of you, lest indeed I have laboured in vain as to you.
48N 4 12 Be as *I* [am], for *I* also [am] as *ye*, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.
48N 4 13 But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
48N 4 14 and my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
48N 4 15 What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.
48N 4 16 So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you?
48N 4 17 They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them.
48N 4 18 But [it is] right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you --
48N 4 19 my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:
48N 4 20 and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to you.
48N 4 21 Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?
48N 4 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.
48N 4 23 But he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the promise.
48N 4 24 Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.
48N 4 25 For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children;
48N 4 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
48N 4 27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband.
48N 4 28 But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.
48N 4 29 But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now.
48N 4 30 But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
48N 4 31 So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.
48N 5 1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
48N 5 2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
48N 5 3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
48N 5 4 Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
48N 5 5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
48N 5 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
48N 5 7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
48N 5 8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
48N 5 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
48N 5 10 *I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
48N 5 11 But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
48N 5 12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
48N 5 13 For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
48N 5 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
48N 5 15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
48N 5 16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
48N 5 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
48N 5 18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
48N 5 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
48N 5 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
48N 5 21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
48N 5 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
48N 5 23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
48N 5 24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
48N 5 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
48N 5 26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
48N 6 1 Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest *thou* also be tempted.
48N 6 2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.
48N 6 3 For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;
48N 6 4 but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.
48N 6 5 For each shall bear his own burden.
48N 6 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.
48N 6 7 Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.
48N 6 8 For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life:
48N 6 9 but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.
48N 6 10 So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.
48N 6 11 See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
48N 6 12 As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
48N 6 13 For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
48N 6 14 But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
48N 6 15 For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.
48N 6 16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
48N 6 17 For the rest let no one trouble me, for *I* bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.
48N 6 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
59N 1 1
59N 1 2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
59N 1 3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
59N 1 4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
59N 1 5 But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
59N 1 6 but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
59N 1 7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
59N 1 8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
59N 1 9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
59N 1 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
59N 1 11 For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
59N 1 12 Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
59N 1 13 Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
59N 1 14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
59N 1 15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
59N 1 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
59N 1 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
59N 1 18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures.
59N 1 19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
59N 1 20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
59N 1 21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
59N 1 22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
59N 1 23 For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, *he* is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
59N 1 24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
59N 1 25 But *he* that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, *he* shall be blessed in his doing.
59N 1 26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
59N 1 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
59N 2 1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:
59N 2 2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,
59N 2 3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
59N 2 4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?
59N 2 5 Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?
59N 2 6 But *ye* have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals?
59N 2 7 And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
59N 2 8 If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
59N 2 9 But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
59N 2 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.
59N 2 11 For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law.
59N 2 12 So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;
59N 2 13 for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
59N 2 14 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him?
59N 2 15 Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
59N 2 16 and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
59N 2 17 So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.
59N 2 18 But some one will say, *Thou* hast faith and *I* have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and *I* from my works will shew thee my faith.
59N 2 19 *Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.
59N 2 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
59N 2 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
59N 2 22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
59N 2 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
59N 2 24 Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
59N 2 25 But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way?
59N 2 26 For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
59N 3 1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
59N 3 2 For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.
59N 3 3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
59N 3 4 Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
59N 3 5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
59N 3 6 and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
59N 3 7 For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;
59N 3 8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
59N 3 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
59N 3 10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
59N 3 11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
59N 3 12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
59N 3 13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
59N 3 14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
59N 3 15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
59N 3 16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
59N 3 17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
59N 3 18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
59N 4 1 Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, -- from your pleasures, which war in your members?
59N 4 2 Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.
59N 4 3 Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures.
59N 4 4 Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.
59N 4 5 Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
59N 4 6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.
59N 4 7 Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
59N 4 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye double-minded.
59N 4 9 Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
59N 4 10 Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you.
59N 4 11 Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.
59N 4 12 One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thy neighbour?
59N 4 13 Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,
59N 4 14 ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,)
59N 4 15 instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.
59N 4 16 But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
59N 4 17 To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
59N 5 1 Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].
59N 5 2 Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
59N 5 3 Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] last days.
59N 5 4 Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.
59N 5 5 Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;
59N 5 6 ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
59N 5 7 Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.
59N 5 8 *Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
59N 5 9 Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
59N 5 10 Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.
59N 5 11 Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.
59N 5 12 But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.
59N 5 13 Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.
59N 5 14 Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of [the] Lord;
59N 5 15 and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
59N 5 16 Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power.
59N 5 17 Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;
59N 5 18 and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
59N 5 19 My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,
59N 5 20 let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.
1 Thessalonians (A. D. 51)
52N 1 1 Paul
and Silvanus and
52N 1 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,
52N 1 3 remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
52N 1 4 knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
52N 1 5 For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:
52N 1 6 and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,
52N 1 7 so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:
52N 1 8 for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;
52N 1 9 for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
52N 1 10 and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
52N 2 1 For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
52N 2 2 but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
52N 2 3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
52N 2 4 but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
52N 2 5 For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;
52N 2 6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
52N 2 7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
52N 2 8 Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
52N 2 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
52N 2 10 *Ye* [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
52N 2 11 as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
52N 2 12 that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
52N 2 13 And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
52N 2 14 For *ye*, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for *ye* also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also *they* of the Jews,
52N 2 15 who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,
52N 2 16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
52N 2 17 But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
52N 2 18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
52N 2 19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not *ye* also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
52N 2 20 for ye are our glory and joy.
52N 3 1 Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,
52N 3 2 and
sent
52N 3 3 that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;
52N 3 4 for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)
52N 3 5 For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.
52N 3 6 But
52N 3 7 for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith,
52N 3 8 because now we live if *ye* stand firm in [the] Lord.
52N 3 9 For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our God,
52N 3 10 night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
52N 3 11 But our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
52N 3 12 But you, may the Lord make to exceed and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also towards you,
52N 3 13 in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
52N 4 1 For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in [the] Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.
52N 4 2 For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
52N 4 3 For this is [the] will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;
52N 4 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour,
52N 4 5 (not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)
52N 4 6 not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified.
52N 4 7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
52N 4 8 He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.
52N 4 9 Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to you, for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
52N 4 10 For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of
