John 15: Hebrews and English:
Hebrews:
הפרק 15
אנכי הגפן האמתית ואבי הוא הכרם׃
2 כל שריג בי אשר איננו עשה פרי יסירנו ואשר יעשה פרי יטהרנו להרבות את פריו׃
3 אתם כעת מטהרים בעבור דברי אשר דברתי אליכם׃
4 עמדו בי ואני בכם כאשר השריג בל יעשה פרי מאליו אם לא יעמד בגפן כן גם אתם אם לא תעמדו בי׃
5 אנכי הוא הגפן ואתם השריגים העמד בי ואני בו הוא יעשה פרי לרב כי בלעדי לא תוכלון עשות מאומה׃
6 איש אשר לא יעמד בי השלך כשריג החוצה וייבש וילקטום וישליכום אל תוך האש והיה לבער׃
7 והיה אם תעמדו בי ודברי יהיו בכם ככל חפצכם תשאלו ויעשה לכם׃
8 בזאת נכבד אבי בעשותכם פרי לרב והייתם לי לתלמידים׃
9 כאשר אהבני אבי אהבתי אתכם גם אני ואתם עמדו באהבתי׃
10 אם תשמרו את מצותי תעמדו באהבתי כאשר שמרתי גם אני את מצות אבי ועמדתי באהבתו׃
11 את אלה דברתי אליכם בעבור תהיה שמחתי בכם ותמלא שמחתכם׃
12 הנה זאת מצותי כי תאהבון איש את אחיו כאשר אהבתיכם׃
13 אין לאיש אהבה יתרה מתתו את נפשו בעד ידידיו׃
14 ואתם ידידי אתם אם תעשו את אשר אני מצוה אתכם׃
15 לא אקרא לכם עוד עבדים כי העבד איננו ידע את אשר יעשה אדניו כי אם אמרתי ידידי אתם כי כל אשר שמעתי מאת אבי הודעתי אתכם׃
16 לא אתם בחרתם בי כי אם אנכי בחרתי בכם והפקדתי אתכם ללכת ולעשות פרי ופריכם יקום והיה כל אשר תשאלו מאבי בשמי יתן לכם׃
17 את אלה אני מצוה אתכם למען תאהבון איש את אחיו׃
18 אם העולם שנא אתכם דעו כי אתי שנא ראשונה׃
19 אלו מן העולם הייתם כי אז אהב העולם את אשר לו ויען כי אינכם מן העולם כי אם בחרתי אתכם מתוך העולם לכן העולם ישנא אתכם׃
20 זכרו את דברי אשר דברתי אליכם העבד איננו גדול מאדניו אם רדפו אתי גם אתכם ירדפו אם שמרו את דברי גם את דברכם ישמרו׃
21 אבל כל זאת יעשו לכם בעבור שמי כי לא ידעו את שלחי׃
22 לולא באתי ודברתי אליהם לא היה בהם חטא ועתה לא יוכלון להתנצל על חטאתם׃
23 השנא אתי ישנא גם את אבי׃
24 לולא עשיתי בתוכם את המעשים אשר איש זולתי לא עשה לא היה בהם חטא ועתה ראו וישנאו גם אתי גם את אבי׃
25 אך למלאת דבר הכתוב בתורתם שנאת חנם שנאוני׃
26 ובבוא הפרקליט אשר אשלחנו לכם מאת אבי רוח האמת היוצא מאת אבי הוא יעיד עלי׃
27 וגם אתם תעידו כי מראש הייתם עמדי׃
English:
Jesus, the True Vine
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.
The World’s Hatred
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father. This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: ‘They hated me without cause.’
“But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me. And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry."
Colossians 2: Hebrews and English:
Hebrews:
1 הנני מודיע אתכם גדל הקרב אשר בקרבי על אדותיכם ועל אדות אנשי לודקיא ועל כל אשר לא ראו
2 למען ינחמו לבותם ונקשרו יחד באהבה ולכל עשר דעת נכונה להשכיל סוד האלהים אבינו וסוד המשיח׃
3 אשר צפונים בו כל אצרות החכמה והדעת׃
4 וזאת אמר אני לכם למען אשר לא יטעה אתכם איש בשפתי חלקות׃
5 כי גם אם בבשרי אני רחוק מכם הנה ברוחי אני אצלכם ואשמח בראתי את תכונתכם ואמץ אמונתכם במשיח׃
6 לכן כאשר קבלתם את המשיח את ישוע אדנינו כן גם התהלכו בו׃
7 משרשים ונבנים בו וקימים באמונה כאשר למדתם ומרבים בתודה בה׃
8 הזהרו פן יוליך איש אתכם שולל בפילסופיה ובמדוחי שוא לפי קבלת בני האדם ויסדות העולם ולא על פי המשיח׃
9 כי בו בגופו שכן כל מלא האלהות ובו אתם נמלאים׃
10 אשר הוא ראש כל שררה ושלטן׃
11 ובו אתם גם נמולים מילה שלא בידים בהפשטת גוף הבשר החוטא היא מילת המשיח׃
12 כי נקברתם אתו בטבילה אף קמתם אתו בתחיה על ידי האמונה בגבורת אלהים אשר העירו מן המתים׃
13 גם אתכם המתים בפשעים ובערלת בשרכם החיה אתו בסלח לכם את כל פשעיכם׃
14 וימחק את השטר המעיד בנו בחקתיו אשר היה לנגדנו וישאהו מתוכנו ויתקעהו בצלב׃
15 ויפשט את השרים והשליטים ויתנם ביד רמה לראוה בם ויוליכם שולל בנפשו׃
16 על כן לא ידין איש אתכם על דבר מאכל ומשקה או בענין המועדים וראשי חדשים ושבתות׃
17 אשר הם צל הדברים העתידים לבא וגופם הוא במשיח׃
18 אל תתנו לאיש לעקב אתכם על ידי שפלות רוח ועבודה מלאכים המהלך בדברים אשר לא ראו
19 ואיננו אחז בראש אשר מחבר ממנו כל הגוף ומאחז בציריו ודבקיו יגדל גדול אלהים׃
20 לכן אם מתם עם המשיח ליסודת העולם למה תשתעבדו לחקים כאלו עדכם חיים בעולם׃
21 אל תאחז אל תטעם אל תגע׃
22 והם כלם לכליון בתשמישם לפי מצות אנשים ולמודיהם׃
23 הנראים כעין חכמה בעבודה בדויה מלב ובשפלות רוח ובענוי הגוף שלא כהגן רק להשביע הבשר׃
English:
"I want you to know how much I have agonized for you and for the church at Laodicea, and for many other believers who have never met me personally. I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.
Freedom from Rules and New Life in Christ
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature. For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud, and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.
You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires."

1. "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago."
2. "And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God."
3. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
4. "Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”
5. "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
6. "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
7. "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
8. "And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness."
9. "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
10. "For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus."
11. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

1. "As it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
2. "For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
3. "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
4. "Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever."
5. "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."
6. "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."
7. "You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
8. "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
9. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
10. "And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
11. "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Why Christianity? Part 2:
There are only two ways, one to heaven and one to hell for eternity. There is no in-betweens. Christianity is the best way. Christianity means you walk in the light. Love, peace, no fear, joy, hope, faith. You are living a godly life and not the worldy life where everything is negative. Remember Eve in the garden of Eden, she listened to the devils lies and look what happened. But when you look at Jesus, He never panicked, He never feared, He never worried, He never hated, He never committed a sin. We must copy Jesus, we must follow Him. He is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Life. We must be like Jesus, Act like Jesus, Speak like Jesus, Walk like Jesus. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Never listen to the lies of Satan. Be full of Christ. Study, Meditate on the Word of God day and night. Speak the Word of God day and night. Your life will change forever. You have the victory through Christ. John 16:33: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 10:10: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." By following Christ you will live forever. Ephesians 5:1: "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." It is better to walk in the light than in the darkness. Darkness always flee from light. Choose life. Do it the Jesus way did!

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation."

Hebrews 11: Hebrews and English:
Hebrews:
1 כי האמונה היא חסן הבטחון במקוה והוכחת דברים לא נראים׃
2 ובה נחלו האבות עדות׃
3 באמונה נבין כי העולמות נעשו בדבר האלהים למען אשר יצא הנראה מן הנעלם׃
4 באמונה הקריב הבל לאלהים זבח טוב מקין אשר היה לו לעדות כי צדיק הוא בהעיד אלהים על מנחתיו ובה עודנו מדבר אחרי מותו׃
5 באמונה לקח חנוך לבלתי ראותו המות ואיננו כי לקח אתו אלהים והועד עליו לפני הלקחו כי את האלהים התהלך׃
6 ובלי אמונה לא יוכל איש להיות רצוי אל האלהים כי כל הקרב אליו צריך להאמין כי יש אלהים וגמול הוא משיב לדרשיו׃
7 באמונה בנה נח ביראת יהוה את התבה להצלת ביתו אתרי אשר צוה על דברים לא נראים עדין וירשע בה את העולם ויהי לירש הצדקה עקב האמונה׃
8 באמונה שמע אברהם כאשר נקרא ללכת אל הארץ אשר יירשנה ויצא ולא ידע אנה יבוא׃
9 באמונה היה גר בארץ ההבטחה כמו בנכריה וישב באהלים הוא ויצחק ויעקב אשר ירשו עמו ההבטחה ההיא׃
10 כי חכה לעיר אשר יסודתה נאמנה ובונה ומכוננה האלהים׃
11 באמונה שרה גם היא קבלה הכח להזריע ותלד אחרי בלתה כי חשבה לנאמן את המבטיח׃
12 על כן מאחד אשר כמעט מת גופו יצאו ככוכבי השמים לרב וכחול על שפת הים אשר לא יספר׃
13 כפי אמונה מתו כל אלה ולא השיגו את ההבטחות רק מרחוק ראו אותן ויבטחו וישמחו לקראתן ויודו כי גרים הם ותושבים בארץ׃
14 הלא המדברים כזאת יודיעו כי הם מבקשי ארץ מושב׃
15 ואם היתה דעתם על הארץ ההיא אשר יצאו ממנה הלא היה בידם לשוב אליה׃
16 אכן נכספו למושב טוב ממנו והוא בשמים ועל כן לא בוש האלהים להקרא אלהיהם כי הכין להם עיר׃
17 באמונה העלה אברהם את יצחק כאשר נסה ואת יחידו הקריב המקבל את ההבטחות׃
18 אשר נאמר לו כי ביצחק יקרא לך זרע׃
19 ויחשב בלבו כי יכול יוכל אלהים להחיות גם את המתים על כן גם הושב אליו להיות למשל׃
20 באמונה ברך יצחק את יעקב ואת עשו וידבר על העתידות׃
21 באמונה ברך יעקב את שני בני יוסף לפני מותו וישתחו על ראש המטה׃
22 באמונה הזכיר יוסף בקרב קצו את יציאת בני ישראל ויצו על אדות עצמותיו׃
23 באמונה הצפינו את משה אבותיו שלשה ירחים אהרי הולדו כראתם את הילד כי טוב הוא ולא יראו את מצות המלך׃
24 באמונה מאן משה כאשר גדל להקרא בן לבת פרעה׃
25 ויבחר לסבל את עני עם אלהים מלהתענג לשעה בתענוגי החטא׃
26 בחשבו את חרפת המשיח לעשר גדול מאצרות מצרים כי הביט אל הגמול׃
27 באמונה עזב את ארץ מצרים ולא ירא מחמת המלך כי היה כראה אשר איננו נראה ויתחזק׃
28 באמונה עשה את הפסח ונתינת הדם למען אשר לא יגע המשחית בבכוריהם׃
29 באמונה עברו את ים סוף ביבשה אשר נסו מצרים גם המה לעבר בו ויטבעו׃
30 באמונה נפלו חומות יריחו אחרי הקיפו אותן שבעת ימים׃
31 באמונה לא אבדה רחב הזונה עם הסוררים כי אספה את המרגלים אל ביתה בשלום׃
32 ומה אמר עוד הן תקצר לי העת אם אספר מעשי גדעון וברק ושמשון ויפתח ודוד ושמואל והנביאים׃
33 אשר באמונה כבשו ממלכות ופעלו צדק והשגו הבטחות וסכרו פי אריות׃
34 וכבו גבורת האש ונמלטו מפי החרב והתחזקו מחלים ועשו חיל במלחמה והפילו מחנות זרים׃
35 נשים לקחו מתחיה את מתיהן ואחרים רטשו בענוים ולא אבו להנצל למען יזכו לתחיה טובה ממנה׃
36 מהם נסו בתעלולים ובמכות וגם נמסרו לכבל ומסגר׃
37 נסקלו באבנים נסרו במגרה נבחנו ביסורים מתו לפי חרב וינעו עטופי עורת כבשים ועזים בחסר ובעצר רעה ויגון׃
38 אשר העולם לא היה כדי להם הם תעו במדבר ובהרים ובמערות ובנקיקי הארץ׃
39 וכל אלה אף היתה להם העדות בגלל אמונתם לא קבלו את ההבטחה׃
40 למען אשר לא ישלמו בלעדינו כי צפה לנו אלהים מקדם טובה יתרה׃
English:
Great Examples of Faith
"Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith.
It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.
It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.
It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise. And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.
All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.” Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.
It was by faith that Isaac promised blessings for the future to his sons, Jacob and Esau.
It was by faith that Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff.
It was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die, said confidently that the people of Israel would leave Egypt. He even commanded them to take his bones with them when they left.
It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.
It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward. It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons.
It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned.
It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down.
It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the prophets. By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. Women received their loved ones back again from death.
But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.
All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us."
John 3: Hebrews and English:
Hebrews:
הפרק 3
ויהי איש אחד בתוך הפרושים ושמו נקדימון שר ליהודים׃
2 ויבא אל ישוע לילה ויאמר אליו רבי ידענו כי אתה מורה מאת אלהים באת כי לא יוכל איש לעשות האתות אשר אתה עשה בלתי אם האלהים עמו׃
3 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליו אמן אמן אני אמר לך אם לא יולד איש מלמעלה לא יוכל לראות מלכות האלהים׃
4 ויאמר אליו נקדימון איך יולד אדם והוא זקן הכי שוב ישוב אל בטן אמו ויולד׃
5 ויען ישוע אמן אמן אני אמר לך אם לא יולד איש מן המים והרוח לא יוכל לבוא אל מלכות האלהים׃
6 הנולד מן הבשר בשר הוא והנולד מן הרוח רוח הוא׃
7 אל תתמה על אמרי לך כי עליכם להולד מלמעלה׃
8 הרוח באשר יחפץ שם הוא נשב ואתה תשמע את קולו אך לא תדע מאין בא ואנה הוא הולך כן כל הנולד מן הרוח׃
9 ויען נקדימון ויאמר אליו איכה תהיה כזאת׃
10 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליו רבן של ישראל אתה וזאת לא ידעת׃
11 אמן אמן אני אמר לך כי את אשר ידענו נדבר ואת אשר ראינו נעיד ואתם לא תקבלו עדותנו׃
12 אם אמרתי אליכם דברי הארץ ואינכם מאמינים איך תאמינו באמרי אליכם דברי השמים׃
13 ואיש לא עלה השמימה בלתי אם אשר ירד מן השמים בן האדם אשר הוא בשמים׃
14 וכאשר הגביה משה את הנחש במדבר כן צריך בן האדם להנשא׃
15 למען לא יאבד כל המאמין בו כי אם יחיה חיי עולמים׃
16 כי ככה אהב האלהים את העולם עד אשר נתן את בנו את יחידו למען לא יאבד כל המאמין בו כי אם יחיה חיי עולמים׃
17 כי האלהים לא שלח את בנו אל העולם לדין את העולם כי אם למען יושע בו העולם׃
18 המאמין בו לא ידון ואשר לא יאמין בו כבר נדון כי לא האמין בשם בן האלהים היחיד׃
19 וזה הוא הדין כי האור בא אל העולם ובני האדם אהבו החשך מן האור כי רעים מעשיהם׃
20 כי כל פעל עולה ישנא את האור ולא יבא לאור פן יוכחו מעשיו׃
21 אבל עשה האמת יבא לאור למען יגלו מעשיו כי נעשו באלהים׃
22 ויהי אחרי הדברים האלה ויבא ישוע ותלמידיו אל ארץ יהודה ויגר שם עמהם ויטבל׃
23 וגם יוחנן היה טבל בעינון קרוב לשלם כי שמה מים לרב ויבאו ויטבלו׃
24 כי עוד לא נתן יוחנן אל בית הסהר׃
25 ויהי ריב בין תלמידי יוחנן ובין היהודים על דבר הטהרה׃
26 ויבאו אל יוחנן ויאמרו אליו רבי האיש אשר היה עמך בעבר הירדן ואשר העידת לו הנו טבל וכלם באים אליו׃
27 ויען יוחנן לא יוכל איש לקחת דבר בלתי אם נתן לו מן השמים׃
28 ואתם עדי כי אמרתי אנכי אינני המשיח רק שלוח אני לפניו׃
29 אשר לו הכלה הוא החתן ורע החתן העמד ושמע אתו שמוח ישמח לקול החתן הנה שמחתי זאת עתה שלמה׃
30 הוא יגדל הלוך וגדל ואני אחסר הלוך וחסור׃
31 הבא ממעל נעלה על כל ואשר מארץ מארץ הוא ומארץ ידבר הבא משמים נעלה על כל׃
32 ואת אשר ראה ושמע את זאת יעיד ואין מקבל עדותו׃
33 ואשר קבל עדותו חתום חתם כי האלהים אמת׃
34 כי את אשר שלחו אלהים דברי אלהים ידבר כי לא במדה נתן אלהים את הרוח׃
35 האב אהב את בנו ואת כל נתן בידו׃
36 כל המאמין בבן יש לו חיי עולמים ואשר לא יאמין בבן לא יראה חיים כי אם חרון אלהים ישכן עליו׃
English:
"There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”
Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”
“How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked.
Jesus replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”
John the Baptist Exalts Jesus
Then Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and went into the Judean countryside. Jesus spent some time with them there, baptizing people.
At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there; and people kept coming to him for baptism. (This was before John was thrown into prison.) A debate broke out between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over ceremonial cleansing. So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Rabbi, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you identified as the Messiah, is also baptizing people. And everybody is going to him instead of coming to us.”
John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’ It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true. For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands. And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.”
