He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he `is' to a destroyer.
Who `is' even among you, And he shutteth the two-leaved doors? Yea, ye do not kindle Mine altar for nought, I have no pleasure in you, said Jehovah of Hosts, And a present I do not accept of your hand.
in like manner also he who `received' the two, he gained, also he, other two;
`And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them;
`And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
for these things being to you and abounding, do make `you' neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,
