For what reason, my beloved, as you2f have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Beware lest any man spoil (plunder; prey; booty) you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Moshiach [Messiah].
Listen, my beloved brethren, Has not God-The Father chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
Know you2f not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God-The Father? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (acting like a woman; unmanly), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said unto them, Do you2f not therefore err, because you2f know not the scriptures, neither the power of God-Theos?
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], [the Lord - Kurios] of glory, with respect of persons.
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of [his] brother, and his brother, speaks evil of the law, and the law: but if youi judge the law, youi are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yes be yes; and [your] No, No; lest you2f fall into hypocrisy.
