Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I Yahweh? and there is no Elohim else beside me; a just El and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to Elohim.
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Master Yahshua, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please Yahweh, so ye would abound more and more.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Yahweh, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show reverence at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before Elohim.
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in the Messiah Yahshua before the world began,
For what renown is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with Yahweh.
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Yahweh by Yahshua the Messiah.
