Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you2f stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord - Kurios, forasmuch as you2f know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord - Kurios.
Listen to me, you2f that follow after righteousness, you2f that seek the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): look unto the rock [from what place] you2f are cut, and to the hole of the pit [from what place] you2f are excavated.
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation].
Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.
