because who for a honor is it, if you (PL) sinned self and you gives (to) you (PL) beatings, and you (PL) are patient? but if doing good (things) suffer you (PL) and are patient, (look) that is a favor with Hashem.
and you (PL) yourselves, as living stones, build you (PL) up into a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, offering to do spiritual sacrifices, which are well accepted by Hashem through Yehoshua the Moshiach.
and furthermore, brothers, ask we and are you (PL) admonishing in the L-rd Yehoshua, that as you (PL) did receive become from us, how you (PL) ought selves to live pleasing to Hashem—and actually thus like you (PL) do that, that you (PL) shall it (do) much more.
if however a certain widow has children or grandchildren, let them before all learn to be g-dfearing in their own house and repay good to the parents; because the these is acceptable before Hashem.
now have I of all things and (even more) an abundance; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus that, which you (PL) have sent, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice, which is agreeable and well pleasing to Hashem.
who did us save and called with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own counsel and grace, which is us given become in the Moshiach Yehoshua before (ahead of) eternal times,
because for the this strive we ourselves and are being insulted, because we have put our hope on the living G-d, who is the helper of all men, especially of the believers.
