Urgent Notice!!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!! Jesus is coming sooner as you think!! Be Ready!! Keep yourself busy with God's work and not yours!!!

How do I know I am in the right or wrong church!!

Not every church, Pastor will go to heaven!! You must make sure you belong to a church where the Holy Spirit moving. Ask God to help you to show you the right church!! It is very important to belong to the right church. A church where you are comfortable is a big NO!! You have to be challenged in your faith. Your faith must grow. Walk-on-the-water faith church, Holy Spirit-moving is the right church!! Make sure your are Born Again too!! You must repent and give your life to Jesus and be baptised!! A big NO church is where the Holy Spirit is not moving, too many doctorines, like the normal traditional churches. You must stay far away from them!! Baby christening is not biblical!! They like to preach what people want to hear and not what they must hear. Focus now on finding the right church. Ask God to show you the right church and to open doors for you to get there!! But it is of life importance that you must go to the right church!! A religious church is big trouble. It is not going to help you to get to heaven!! A faith based church where the Holy Spirit is moving, where you grow in your faith, where you are challenged in your faith, where they do baptisms too, and teach the Word of God!!

1 Peter 5: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 5

את הזקנים אשר בקרבכם אזהיר אנכי עמיתם הזקן ועד ענויי המשיח וגם חבר לכבוד העתיד להגלות׃

2 רעו את עדר האלהים אשר בידכם והשגיחו עליהם לא באנס כי אם בנדבה אף לא עקב בצע כי אם בנפש חפצה׃

3 גם לא כמתעמרים בנחלת יהוה כי אם בהיותכם מופת לצאן׃

4 והיה בהגלות שר הרעים תשאו עטרת הכבוד אשר לא תבל׃

5 וכן גם אתם הנערים הכנעו לפני הזקנים וחגרו כלכם שפלות רוח בהכנע איש לרעהו כי אלהים ללצים יליץ ולענוים יתן חן׃

6 השפילו נפשכם תחת יד אלהים החזקה למען ירומם אתכם בעתו׃

7 השליכו עליו כל יהבכם כי הוא ידאג לכם׃

8 התעוררו שקדו כי מריבכם השטן משוטט כאריה שאג ומבקש את אשר יבלע׃

9 ועמדתם נגדו חזקים באמונה ודעו כי ענוים כאלה באו גם על אחיכם אשר בעולם׃

10 ואלהי כל החסד אשר קראנו לכבודו הנצחי במשיח ישוע אחרי ענותכם מעט הוא ישלים ויחזק ויגבר וייסד אתכם׃

11 לו הכבוד והעז לעולמי עולמים אמן׃

12 ביד סלונוס האח הנאמן לכם כאשר אחשב כתבתי אליכם בדברים מעטים להזהיר אתכם ולהעיד כי חסד האלהים הזה אשר עמדתם בו אמת הוא׃

13 חברתכם אשר בבבל הנבחרה אתכם ומרקוס בני שאלים לשלומכם׃

14 שאלו לשלום איש את רעהו בנשיקת אהבה שלום לכלכם אשר במשיח ישוע אמן׃

"Advice for Elders and Young Men

And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you: Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example. And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen.

Peter’s Final Greetings

I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas, whom I commend to you as a faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that what you are experiencing is truly part of God’s grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.

Your sister church here in Babylon sends you greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet each other with a kiss of love.

Peace be with all of you who are in Christ."

1 John 4: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 4

אהובי אל תאמינו לכל רוח כי אם בחנו הרוחות אם מאלהים המה כי נביאי שקר רבים יצאו לעולם׃

2 בזאת תכירו את רוח אלהים כל רוח המודה בישוע המשיח כי בא בבשר מאלהים הוא׃

3 וכל רוח אשר איננו מודה בישוע האדון כי בא בבשר לא מאלהים הוא וזה הוא רוח צר המשיח אשר שמעתם עליו כי בוא יבא ועתה הנה הוא בעולם׃

4 אתם הבנים הנכם מאלהים ונצחתם אתם כי אשר בכם גדול הוא מאשר בעולם׃

5 המה מן העולם על כן מהעולם ידברו והעולם ישמע אליהם׃

6 ואנחנו מאלהים הננו היודע את האלהים ישמע אלינו ואשר איננו מאלהים לא ישמע אלינו בזאת נכיר את רוח האמת ואת רוח התועה׃

7 אהובי נאהב נא איש את רעהו כי האהבה מאלהים היא וכל אשר יאהב נולד מאלהים וידע את האלהים׃

8 ואשר איננו אהב לא ידע את האלהים כי האלהים הוא אהבה׃

9 בזאת נראתה אהבת האלהים לנו כי שלח האלהים את בנו את יחידו לעולם למען נחיה על ידו׃

10 בזאת היא האהבה לא שאנחנו אהבנו את האלהים כי אם הוא אהב אותנו וישלח את בנו לכפרה על חטאתינו׃

11 אהובי אם ככה אהב אתנו האלהים גם אנחנו חיבים לאהבה איש את רעהו׃

12 את האלהים לא ראה איש מעולם ואם נאהב איש את רעהו האלהים יעמד בקרבנו ואהבתו נשלמה בנו׃

13 בזאת נדע אשר בו נקום והוא בנו כי נתן לנו מרוחו׃

14 ואנחנו חזינו ונעידה כי האב שלח את הבן מושיע העולם׃

15 כל המודה כי ישוע הוא בן האלהים האלהים שכן בו והוא באלהים׃

16 ואנחנו ידענו ונאמן באהבה אשר אלהים אהב אתנו האלהים הוא אהבה והעמד באהבה עמד באלהים והאלהים עמד בו׃

17 ובזאת נשלמה בנו האהבה בהיות לנו בטחון ביום הדין כי כמהו כן גם אנחנו בעולם הזה׃

18 אין אימה באהבה כי אם האהבה השלמה תגרש את האימה כי באימה מעצבה ואשר באימה איננו שלם באהבה׃

19 אנחנו אהבים אתו כי הוא קדם לאהבה אתנו׃

20 כי יאמר איש אהב אני את האלהים והוא שנא את אחיו כזב הוא כי אשר לא יאהב את אחיו אשר הוא ראה איככה יוכל לאהב את האלהים אשר איננו ראה אתו׃

21 וזאת המצוה יש לנו מאתו כי האהב את האלהים יאהב גם את אחיו׃

"On Denying the Incarnation

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

God’s Love and Ours

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister."

3. "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace."

4. "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins."

5. 'He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."

7. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

8. "For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

9. "So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. "

10. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

11. "For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."

"I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

3. "And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given."

4. " 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. 3 In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

5. "God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan."

6. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

7. "And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables."

8. "Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

9. "This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one."

10. "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God."

11. "And to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things."

Why Christianity? Part 7: Light:

We always walk in the light. There is no darkness in our lives. John 8:12: "Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” We must follow Jesus. He is our Light. By following Him we will not do the things of the darkness. John 12:46: "I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness." Proverbs 4:18: "But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day." When walking in the Jesus light, you will always have love, joy, peace, no fear, no worries and your life will be a light in this dark world. The things of darkness are always bad, like hate, jealousy, fear, no joy, worries and panic and they always come out in the open. Let your life be connected to the Jesus light, and your life will be filled with light. Light always overcomes the darkness. Matthew 6:22-23: “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" Isaiah 42:6 :“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations." John 1:5: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." It is so important to stay connected to the Word of God, Meditate on the Word of God day and night, Speak the Word of God, Focus on the Word of God! Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." 1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." Be in the light, by following Jesus!

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 10: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

1 כי התורה בהיות בה צל הטבות העתידות ולא מראה עצם הדברים אין ביכלתה להשלים את הקרבים בקרבנות ההם אשר יקריבו תמיד מדי שנה בשנה׃

2 כי לולא זאת חדלו מהביאם באשר המקריבים בהטהרם פעם אחת לא היתה בהם עוד רגשת חטאים׃

3 אבל יש שם הזכרת החטאים שנה בשנה׃

4 כי דם הפרים והשעירים לא יוכל להסיר חטאים׃

5 ובעבור זאת אמר בבואו לעולם זבח ומנחה לא חפצת גוף כוננת לי׃

6 עולה וחטאה לא שאלת׃

7 אז אמרתי הנה באתי במגלת ספר כתוב עלי לעשות רצונך אלהי׃

8 אחרי אמרו למעלה זבח ומנחה עולה וחטאה לא חפצת ולא שאלת אשר יקריבו אתם על פי התורה׃

9 אז אמר הנה באתי לעשות רצונך אלהי מעביר בזה את הראשונה למען הקים את השניה׃

10 וברצון הזה מקדשים אנחנו על ידי הקרבת קרבן גוף ישוע המשיח בפעם אחת׃

11 וכל כהן עמד יום יום לשרת ומוסיף פעמים רבות להקריב אתן הקרבנות אשר לא יוכלו לעולם להעביר חטאים׃

12 אולם זה אחרי הקריבו זבח אחד על החטאים ישב עד עולם לימין האלהים׃

13 וחכה יחכה עד כי יושתו איביו הדם לרגליו׃

14 כי הוא בקרבן אחת השלים לנצח את המקדשים׃

15 ואף רוח הקדש מעיד לנו על זאת כי אחרי אמרו׃

16 זאת הברית אשר אכרת אתם אחרי הימים ההם אמר יהוה נתתי את תורתי בקרבם ועל לבם אכתבנה׃

17 ולעונם ולחטאתם לא אזכר עוד׃

18 והנה באשר נסלחו החטאים אין עוד קרבן עליהם׃

19 ועתה אחי בהיות לנו בטחון דרך הקדש בדם ישוע׃

20 דרך חדש וחי אשר חדש לנו בפרכת היא בשרו׃

21 ובהיות לנו כהן גדול על בית אלהים׃

22 נקרבה נא בלבב שלם ובאמונה תמימה מטהרים בהזית לבבנו מרוח רעה ורחוצי בשר במים טהורים׃

23 נחזיקה בהודית התקוה בל נמוט כי נאמן המבטיח׃

24 ונתבוננה זה על זה לעורר אתנו לאהבה ולמעשים טובים׃

25 ואל נעזב את כנאיתנו כמנהג קצת אנשים כי אם נוכיח איש את אחיו וביותר בראתכם כי קרוב היום׃

26 כי אם נחטא בזדון אחרי אשר קבלנו דעת האמת לא ישאר עוד זבח קרבן לכפר על החטא׃

27 כי אם בעותי הדין העתיד ואש קנאה אשר תאכל את הצררים׃

28 הן איש כי יפר תורת משה מות ימות בלי חמלה על פי שנים עדים או שלשה׃

29 מה תחשבו כמה יגדל הענש הראוי לרמס ברגלו את בן האלהים וחשב לחל את דם הברית אשר הוא מקדש בו ומחרף את רוח החסד׃

30 כי ידענו את האמר לי נקם ושלם ועוד כי ידין יהוה עמו׃

31 מה נורא לנפל ביד אלהים חיים׃

32 אבל זכרו נא את הימים הראשונים כי אז אחרי ארו עיניכם נשאתם כבד ענוים רבים׃

33 פעם בהיותכם לראי בחרפה ותוגה פעם בהשתתף לאשר הגיע אליהם כזאת׃

34 כי הצטערתם על מוסרי וגזלת רכושכם סבלתם בשמחה מדעתכם בנפשכם שיש לכם בשמים קנין טוב ממנו וקים לעד׃

35 לכן אל תשליכו את בטחונכם כי יש לו שכר רב׃

36 כי צריכים אתם לסבלנות למען תעשו רצון אלהים ונשאתם את ההבטחה׃

37 כי עוד מעט רגע והבא יבא לא יאחר׃

38 הצדיק באמונתו יחיה ואם יסג אחור לא רצתה נפשי בו׃

39 אמנם אנחנו איננו מן הנסוגים אחור לאבדם כי אם מן המאמינים להצלת הנפש׃

"Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.

But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year. For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God,

“You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin. Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—as is written about me in the Scriptures.’”

First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.

And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”

Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

A Call to Persevere

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. For we know the one who said,

“I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his own people.”

It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

“For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”

But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved."

Ephesians 4: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 4

לכן אזהירכם אני האסור באדון להתהלך כאשר יאתה למשמרתכם אשר נקראתם לה׃

2 בכל נמיכות וענוה ובארך רוח לשאת איש את רעהו באהבה׃

3 ושקדו לשמר את אחדות הרוח באגדת השלום׃

4 גוף אחד ורוח אחד כאשר גם נקראתם בתקות משמרתכם האחת׃

5 אדון אחד אמונה אחת טבילה אחת׃

6 אל ואב אחד לכל שהוא על כל ובכל ובתוך כלכם׃

7 אבל לכל אחד ואחד ממנו נתן החסד כמדת מתנת המשיח׃

8 על כן הוא אומר עלה למרום שבה שבי ויתן מתנות לאדם׃

9 ועלה שאמר מה הוא אם לא שירד ירד מקדם לתחתיות ארץ׃

10 הירד הוא אשר גם עלה למעלה מכל השמים למען ימלא את הכל׃

11 והוא נתן את אלה שליחים ואת אלה נביאים ואת אלה מבשרים ואת אלה רעים ומלמדים׃

12 להשלים את הקדשים למעשה העבודה לבנין גוף המשיח׃

13 עד כי נגיע כלנו לאחדות האמונה ודעת בן האלהים כאיש אחד שלם לשעור קומת מלוא המשיח׃

14 ולא נהיה עוד ילדים נגרשים ונדפים בכל רוח הלמוד בתרמית בני אדם ומקשותם אשר שתו להתעות׃

15 כי אם נדבר האמת באהבה ונגדלה בכל דבר לו למשיח שהוא הראש׃

16 אשר ממנו כל הגוף בהיותו מרכב ומדבק בכל חבור השמוש כפי מדת הפעלה הנתונה לכל אבר ואבר ירבה ויגדל להשלמת בנינו באהבה׃

17 והנה זאת אני אמר ומעיד באדון כי מעתה לא תלכו עוד כיתר הגוים ההלכים בהבלי שכלם׃

18 חשכי הדעת ומוזרים לחיי אלהים מפני אולתם אשר בהם כי טח מהשכיל לבבם׃

19 אשר השמינו ויתנו את נפשם לזמה לעשות כל תועבה באהבת הבצע׃

20 ואתם לא כן למדתם את המשיח׃

21 אם אמנם אתו שמעתם ובו למדתם כפי האמת בישוע׃

22 אשר תסורו מדרכיכם הראשנים ותפשטו את האדם הישן הנשחת בתאות התרמית׃

23 ותתחדשו ברוח שכלכם׃

24 ותלבשו את האדם החדש הנברא כדמות אלהים בצדקה וקדשת האמת׃

25 על כן הסירו מכם את השקר ודברו אמת איש את רעהו כי אברים כלנו יחד איש לאיש׃

26 רגזו ואל תחטאו אל תשקע החמה על רגזכם׃

27 גם לא תתנו מקום לשטן׃

28 מי שגנב אל יסף לגנב כי אם ייגע ובידיו יעשה את הטוב למען יהיה לו לתת לאיש מחסור׃

29 כל דבר נבול לא יצא מפיכם כי אם הטוב והמועיל לבנות לפי הצרך למען יתן חן לשמעיו׃

30 ולא תעצבו את רוח הקדש של אלהים אשר נחתמתם בו אל יום הגאלה׃

31 כל מרירות וחמה ורגז וצעקה וגדוף תסירו מכם עם כל הרשעה׃

32 והיו טובים איש אל רעהו ורחמנים וסלחים איש לאחיו כאשר סלח לכם האלהים במשיח׃

English:

"Unity in the Body

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.

However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say,

“When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.”

Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world. And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself.

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

Living as Children of Light

With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity.

But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
