This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up—by way of calling to remembrance—your uncorrupted mind,
Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things,—although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth;
Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people,—and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:
My dwelling, hath been broken up. And is stripped from me, like a shepherds tent,—I have roiled up—as a weaver—my life From the loom, doth he cut me off, From day until night, I said —Thou wilt finish me.
According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all,—because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad-message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.
