Through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and because of, on the basis of and because of this, having bound and girded up the loins and hips of your senses and understanding, intelligence and mind, thoughts and impulses, intentions and purposes, notions and feelings, dispositions and plans, attitudes and comprehensions, ideas and opinions, judgements and perceptions, tightening your belt and preparing and making yourself ready, being well-balanced and sober, self-controlled and clear headed, watchful and circumspect, calm and collected, temperate and dispassionate, you actively hoped completely and fully, perfectly and entirely, steadfastly and unwaveringly, altogether, wholly and totally upon the delight and thanks, favour and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness that is being brought and lead, guided and carried, moved and driven, presented and beard, endured and upheld, sustained and established, produced and directed to you in, by and with the revelation and disclosure, laying bare and displaying, uncovering and manifestation of Yahushua* Messiah*. As, like and similar to the obedience and compliance, favourable hearing and willing submission of small children, do not be conformed or moulded, changed to be like or be fashioned, remodelled or guided to be similar to the evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, coveting, impulses and passions of your former, prior and earlier erroneous ignorance and lack of knowledge, blindness and unawareness, lack of discernment and delusion, mistaken conduct and want of perception, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the Set-Apart and Cleansed One who called, summoned and invited you into a relationship, you yourselves are also to come to be and exist, arise and appear as set-apart and cleansed in, by and with all the individual and collective aspects of behaviour and conduct, your manner and way of life, for this reason and on this account, because of this and for this purpose, it has been written and recorded, inscribed and composed, “You will be and exist as set-apart and cleansed, for the reason and on account of, because of and for the purpose that I Myself am and exist as Set-Apart and Cleansed.” * And if you call and summon, invite and address Him as the Father*, He who separates and sunders, makes distinctions between and disputes, debates and takes issues, discriminates and determinates, contents and differentiates, decides and evaluates, assesses and judges impartially, without respect of person and not merely on the basis of appearance according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to each ones works and business, employment and undertakings, acts and deeds, tasks and labours, then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, walk and behave, act and live, conduct and occupy yourselves in, by and with reverence, awe and respect during the amount of time and duration of your exile and sojourning in a foreign land, dwelling and residing here on earth, seeing and perceiving, observing and witnessing, knowing and experiencing, recognising and respecting, understanding, comprehending and appreciating that concerning this, you were not redeemed and released, ransomed and liberated, delivered and set free with corruptible and perishable, mortal, mutable and transitory silver or gold from out of your useless and purposeless, worthless and futile, empty and foolish, vain and profane, mad and irreverent, powerless and perverse, depraved and nonsense manners and ways, behaviour and conducts of life that are devoid of truth and success, result and force that were inherited, handed down and delivered as traditions from your forefathers and ancestors, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, you were ransomed with the honoured and venerated, esteemed and highly regarded, valued and respected, prized and treasured life-blood of Messiah* that is as, like and similar to that of a lamb without blemish and faultless, guiltless and without defect or spotless and clean, pure and free from corruption. Indeed, truly and surely, He had come to be known and understood, perceived and realised, noticed and discerned, discovered and observed, experienced and ascertained, learnt about and distinguished, judged and thought about, comprehended, acknowledged and recognised before and ahead of the foundation and building, beginning and laying down of the world and cosmos, galaxy and universe, but nevertheless, has been made known and declared by relating, indicated and signified, imparted knowledge of and demonstrated, shown and given evidence of, revealed and explained, clarified and made plain upon the last and final days and times, ages and seasons through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of you, those who through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Him are the ones who are trustworthy and reliable, obedient and dependable for and on behalf of God*, placing confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and depending in Him, He Who raised and lifted up, awakened and restored Him, Yahushua, from out of death and lifelessness, deceased and inanimateness, and Who also gave and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty to Him, so that and therefore, for this reason, for this purpose and as a result of this, your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence and the hope, the expectation, confidence and trust is and exists towards God*. Having purified and cleansed, sanctified and dedicated your souls in, by and with the obedience and compliance, favourable hearing and willing submission to the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, sincerity and honesty of the truth for and on behalf of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence that is genuine and sincere, real and true without hypocrisy or pretence, unfeigned and undisguised, eagerly and fervently, earnestly and intently, continuously and constantly, unceasingly and intensely dearly love and welcome, entertain, look fondly upon and cherish one another with strong affection and highly esteem each other with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, being loyal to and greatly adore one another from out of a clean and pure, undefiled and spotless, unpolluted and real, genuine and unblemished, sound and honest heart, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, as, like and similar to the fact that you have been regenerated, aroused afresh and given birth to again, not of a corruptible and perishable, mortal, mutable and transitory seed that has been sown, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, of a seed that is incorruptible and imperishable, immortal, immutable and eternal through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the living and continually existing Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of God* that remains and abides, endures and lives on, lasts and persists, stays, continues on and never perishes, for concerning this,
24
“All individual and collective flesh and every mortal body is as,
like and similar to grass and herbage, and all its individual and collective
glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity,
brightness, favour and majesty is as, like and similar to a flower and blossom;
the grass and herbage was scorched and parched, dried out and withered,
shrivelled and destroyed, and the flower fell off and perished, failed and passed
away, disappeared and became invalid, lost its effect and fell from its place;
but nevertheless, the word and saying, statement and message,
proclamation and subject matter of Yahuweh* remains and abides,
endures and lives on, lasts and persists, stays,
continues on and never perishes for and on behalf of eternity,
for the unbroken age and the perpetuity of time.” *
25
And this word and saying, statement and message, proclamation and subject matter is and exists as the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration that has been declared and proclaimed, brought and told, announced and communicated to you all.

Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, put off and get rid of, stop and remove, lay aside and disregard, bury and quell every individual and collective thing that is bad and wicked, wrong and troublesome, pernicious and baneful, reproachful and abusive, worthless and unskilled, injurious and destructive, incorrect and harmful, evil and vicious, noisome and intellectually errant, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten, and all individual and collective bit of deceit and craftiness, cunning and guile, trickery and treachery, underhanded methods, deception and falseness, and all individual and collective bit of hypocrisy and dissimulation, pretence and feigning, and all individual and collective envies and jealousies, ill-wills and maliciousness, and all individual and collective evil reports and slanders, disparagements and false and exaggerated prattles, calumniating and scorn, mockeries and reviling. As, like and similar to newly and recently born babies and infants, earnestly long for and demand, deeply desire, yearn and lovingly pursue the pure and unadulterated, guileless and honest, unpretentious, true and genuine, rational and reasonable, true and genuine, logical and eloquent, natural, intellectual and spiritual milk, so that, in order that and with the result that in, by and with it you may fully grow and increase, be amplified and magnified into deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety, since you have tasted and experienced, partaken in, taken nourishment from and have come to know that concerning this, Messiah* is the Sovereign Master and Foundation*. Indeed, truly and surely, as you come to and move towards, approach and draw near, proceed and appear to the advantage of Him, the living and continually existing stone and rock that has been rejected and thrown away, declared useless and regarded as unworthy, disapproved of and repudiated by men and other human beings, but nevertheless, before and in the sight of, in the presence of and in the immediate vicinity of God*, is selected and chosen, summoned and elected, honoured and respected, esteemed and precious, valued and highly prised, distinguished and considered worthy, and as, like and similar to living and continually existing stones and rocks, you yourselves are a spiritual* house and home, dwelling and abode being rebuilt and repaired, set up and planted, restored and established, founded and constructed, renewed and confirmed, erected and promoted into a set-apart and cleansed priesthood, bringing and presenting, offering and lifting up, raising up and upholding spiritual* things that are very acceptable and well pleasing, favourable and appropriate to God* through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Yahushua* Messiah*, for this reason and on this account, because of this and for this purpose, it has been encircled and said, contained, enclosed and comprehended in the Writing and the Scripture that has been written, composed and recorded,
6
“Behold, look and see! Within Tsiyown* I am setting and placing,
standing and establishing, appointing and ordaining, fixing and providing,
designating and assigning a stone and rock, a cornerstone and final stone that is
selected and chosen, summoned and elected, honoured and respected,
esteemed and precious, valued and highly prised, distinguished and considered
worthy, and he or she who trusts and relies, obeys and places confidence,
certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence upon Him will never,
ever be ashamed or embarrassed, humiliated or disappointed,
disillusioned or dishonoured, disgraced or confounded.” *
7 - 10
Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, indeed, truly and surely, the honour and esteem, value, recognition and respect is for those who trust and rely, obey and place confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, but nevertheless, to those who do not trust or rely, obey or place confidence, certainty or guarantee, assurance or dependence in the Supreme One, “The stone and rock which and what the builders and repairers, setters and planters, restorers and establishers, founders and constructors, confirmers, erectors and promoters rejected and threw away, declared useless and regarded as unworthy, disapproved of and repudiated, this has come to be and exist, arise and appear as the chief cornerstone and the sole source, the keystone and the beginning, the foundation and the summit, the head and most prominent corner, outstanding and determinative stone, important and superior rock, top and sum-total place to turn for protection,” * and “A stumbling stone, rock and obstacle that hinders and causes people to fall over, and a rock and steady cliff of offense and entrapment, enticement and impediment that snares and causes people to fail.” * In disobeying and rejecting, opposing and refusal to trust, rely upon and comply with the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter, they are caused to stumble and be hindered, fall over and be offended, and to this stumbling, they too were set and placed, stood and established, appointed and ordained, fixed and provided, designated and assigned. But nevertheless, all of you are a selected, chosen and elected race, kin and family that is called, summoned and invited into a relationship, a royal and kingly priesthood, a set-apart and cleansed nation and multitude, a people, crowd and populace for and on behalf of God’s acquisition and keeping, obtainment and saving, possession and preservation, so that in this manner and way, you may widely report and thoroughly proclaim, explain and make known the virtues and wonderful manifestations of power, moral excellences and eminences, honourable thoughts, feelings and actions, uprightness and goodness, valour, merits and glorious deeds, wonders and miracles of Him Who had called, summoned and invited all of you from out of the darkness and blindness, obscurity and ignorance, into the marvellous and wonderful, remarkable and amazing, awesome and phenomenal, extraordinary and admirable light and illumination, radiance and enlightenment. Then, at that time, those who were not a people, crowd or populace, are nevertheless now, at this present moment in time, a people, crowd and populace of God*; those who had not been shown mercy and compassion, pity, sympathy and kindness, have nevertheless now, at this present moment in time, been shown mercy and compassion, pity, sympathy and kindness.

11 - 25
Beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, I exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to you as, like and similar to strangers and foreigners, aliens and non-family members, and as exiles and temporary residents: keep yourself away and abstain, desist, avoid and be distant, absent and averted from the evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, coveting, impulses and passions of the flesh and mortal body which wage war and battle, fight and campaign against and contrary to, opposite to, in conflict with and resistant against the soul. Have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess goodness and pleasantness, excellence and fineness, usefulness and beneficialness, niceness and salutariness, uprightness and worthiness, admirableness and commendableness, preciousness and genuineness, flawlessness and loveliness, virtuousness, beauty and honourableness in your manner and way of life, behaviour and conduct within and amongst the Gentile nations and races, so that, in order that and with the result that in, by and with a case when they speak against or criminate, traduce or slander, revile or speak degradingly of, speak evil of or defame, accuse or calumniate, disparage or scorn, mock or tell false tales, exaggeratedly prattle against or secretly whisper harmful gossip or derogatory information against you as, like and similar to evildoers and mischievous ones, criminals and noxious ones, maleficent and pernicious ones, malefactors and injurious ones, when they observe and look upon, view attentively and watch, oversee and inspect, consider and ponder upon, pay close attention to and behold what comes from out of your good and pleasant, excellent and fine, useful and beneficial, nice and salutary, upright and worthy, admirable and commendable, precious and genuine, flawless and lovely, virtuous, beautiful and honourable works and businesses, employments and undertakings, acts and deeds, tasks and labours, they may give glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty to your God* “In, by and with the day and time, age and season of visitation and reckoning, coming and punishment, inspection and investigation, enquiry and examination, contemplation and judgement.” * Cooperate with, defer to and respect every individual and collective human being and creature through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the Sovereign Master*, whether to the king and ruler, prince and commander, leader and emperor, chief and monarch as if he or she is like and similar to someone who is in authority over and in control of, better than and more excellent than, above and beyond, more prominent and highly placed than yourselves, or whether to governors and guides, prefects and generals, procurators and administers as if they are like and similar to being sent and dispatched, discharged and instructed, dismissed and appointed through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of him to bring about vengeance and retribution, punishment and the distribution of justice upon the evildoers and mischievous ones, criminals and noxious ones, maleficent and pernicious ones, malefactors and injurious ones, but nevertheless, to bring approbation and commendation, worthy applause and praise to those who do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake, keep and carry out, construct and establish what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable, for concerning this, in the following manner and way, thus and so, this is and exists as the will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, gracious disposition and good pleasure, decree and law, precept and inclination of God*, that by doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable, the ignorance and obscurity, lack of knowledge and blindness, uncivility and unawareness, lack of discernment and delusion, mistaken conduct and the want of perception of foolish and senseless, silly and crazy, unwise and ignorant, thoughtless and reckless men and other human beings will be silenced and muzzled, kept in check, tied shut and made speechless. Live as, like and similar to people who are free and unrestrained, unconstrained and not under obligation, unfettered and independent, but nevertheless, do not have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess this freedom and liberty, independence and relationship as, like and similar to a cover-up and pretext, excuse and cloak, veil and shroud for doing what is bad and wicked, wrong and troublesome, pernicious and baneful, reproachful and abusive, worthless and unskilled, injurious and destructive, incorrect and harmful, evil and vicious, noisome and intellectually errant, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, live as, like and similar to slaves, servants and attendants of God*.

For the reason that this is favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness, when some certain person who is experiencing and undergoing, receiving and enduring suffering unjustly and undeservedly, without good reason and wrongly, so endures and puts up with, undergoes and bears, submits to and holds out through the grievances and sorrows, annoyances and troubles, pains and sadness, anxieties, afflictions and distresses through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of their good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable conscience and moral judgement, perception and discernment, ability to distinguish right from wrong, truth from lies, good from bad, and the awareness to choose rightly that is committed to God*. For the reason that what kind or what sort of credit or honour, praise or fame, good report or glory, renown or good reputation is there if, when you sin and err, miss the mark and make a mistake, violate the law of the Supreme One and wander from the way and from the state of uprightness, you get punished and chastised, disciplined and penalised, restrained and corrected, yet you endure it with consistency and steadfastness, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience? But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, if you do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake, keep and carry out, construct and establish what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable, and experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering, yet you endure it with consistency and steadfastness, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience, this is favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness from and in the presence of God*. For the reason that it is for and on behalf of this that you have also been called, summoned and invited into a relationship, for concerning this, Messiah* also experienced and underwent, received and endured suffering about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all of you, leaving an example and model, pattern and guideline, indication and depiction, copy and representation behind to remain for you, so that, in order that and with the result that you might follow and tread in His footsteps and footprints, dedicating yourself to and giving attention, imitating and applying yourselves to Him, He “Who had done or performed, accomplished or executed, practised or brought about, undertaken, kept or carried out, constructed or established no sin or error, no miss of the mark or a single mistake, no violation of the law of the Supreme One, nor had He wandered from the Way or from the state of uprightness, neither was deceit or craftiness, cunning or guile, trickery or treachery, underhanded methods, deception or falseness found or discovered, observed or recognised, detected or learned about, understood or come to be known through enquiry and examination, thought and scrutiny, investigation and perception within His mouth,” * He was reviled and insulted, reproached and abused, slandered and railed at, yet He did not revile or insult, reproach or abuse, slander or rail back or in return; He experienced and underwent, received and endured suffering, yet He did not threaten, promise or warn that He would get even; He gave and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented, surrendered and handed Himself over to Him Who separates and sunders, makes distinctions and disputes, debates and takes issues, discriminates and determines, contents and differentiates, decides and evaluates, assesses and judges righteously and justly, uprightly and virtuously, faultlessly and guiltlessly, fairly and acceptably. He Himself bore and endured, sustained, carried and took on your sins and errors, misses of the mark and mistakes, your violations of the law of the Supreme One and your wanderings from the Way and from the state of uprightness within and inside His body upon the stake made out of wood, so that, in order that and with the result that as we have died to and were removed from, departed and ceased to be connected with, separated from and taken away from, have no part in and have been freed from sins and errors, misses of mistakes, violations of the law of the Supreme one and the wanderings from the Way and from the state of uprightness, we may live and continue to exist for righteousness and validation, acceptance and vindication, uprightness, justice and acquittance. “By His wound and welt, blow, bruise and stripe caused by a whip that drew His blood you were healed and cured, restored and made whole, renewed and freed from the consequence of sin, for the reason that you all were and existed as, like and similar to sheep that were being deceived and mislead, lead astray and caused to wander, mistaken and deluded, seduced and coerced into error,” * but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, now, at this present moment in time, you have been returned and brought back, turned around, recovered and have been given back to the shepherd and herdsman, and the overseer and watchman, guardian and official, keeper and superintendant of your souls.

For the reason that it is in this manner and way, thus and so, that then, at that time in the past, the set-apart and cleansed women who hoped with expectation, confidence and trust for and on behalf of God* used to adorn and well assemble, decorate and ornament, dress and embellish themselves, but voluntary submitting to and cooperating with their own husbands and men they were betrothed to be married to, as, like and similar to the way that Sarah* listened to and obeyed, yielded to and paid attention to Abraham*, calling, addressing and naming him as Master*. You came to be and exist, arise and appear as her little children and offspring, descendants and posterity, doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable, and not fearing or being alarmed or terrified of anything that is terrifying or intimidating, alarming or fearful. Likewise and similarly, in the exact same way, the husbands and the men who are betrothed to be married, dwell and live together with your wives and women you’re betrothed to be married to in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding and insight, assigning and showing, bestowing and giving, rendering and imparting honour and esteem, value, recognition and respect to the wives and the women you’re betrothed to be married as, like and similar to the physically weaker pot, vessel and partner, as, like and similar to the fact that they are also co-heirs and inheritors, those who also acquire, obtain and receive the favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness of eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual life and continued existence, so that with reference to this, your prayers and communication with the Supreme One may not be hindered or blocked, impeded, prevented or thwarted.

And finally, completing and perfecting, accomplishing and executing, carrying out and fulfilling, performing and establishing, achieving, concluding and ending the aim, goal and purpose of these things, everyone, individually and collectively, is to be of one mind and united in understanding, harmonious and in agreement, sympathetic and compassionate, interactive and sensitive, have brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, tender-hearted and sensible, friendly, humble and kind, never delivering or giving back, discharging or repaying, bestowing or yielding, returning or restoring what is bad or wicked, wrong or troublesome, pernicious or baneful, reproachful or abusive, worthless or unskilled, injurious or destructive, incorrect or harmful, evil or vicious, noisome or intellectually errant, morally corrupt or diseased, culpable or derelict, mischievous or demonic, guilty or rotten for and against, in place of and in exchange for something else that is bad or wicked, wrong or troublesome, pernicious or baneful, reproachful or abusive, worthless or unskilled, injurious or destructive, incorrect or harmful, evil or vicious, noisome or intellectually errant, morally corrupt or diseased, culpable or derelict, mischievous or demonic, guilty or rotten, nor reviling or insults, reproaches or abuses, slanders or railing for and against, in place of and in exchange for something else that is reviling or insulting, reproaching or abusing, slandering or railing, but nevertheless, rather, instead and on the contrary, bless and praise, celebrate and extol, give thanks and speak well, for concerning this, it is for and on behalf of this that you have been called, summoned and invited into a relationship, so that, in order that and with the result that you may inherit and receive, obtain and acquire a blessing and benediction, benefit and gift. For this reason,

“Whoever wants and wishes, prefers and aims, intends, wills and desires to
dearly love and welcome, entertain, look fondly upon and cherish with strong
affection, highly esteem with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, be loyal to and
greatly adore life and continued existence, and to see and perceive,

worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable
days and times, ages and seasons,let him or her cease and desist, stop and end,

his or her tongue and language from what is bad and wicked,

strive for, look for and desire peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord,
security and safety, prosperity and freedom, exemption from chaos, felicity and
the assurance of salvation, and eagerly pursue and endeavour to acquire,
earnestly seek after and desire to obtain it; for concerning this, the eyes of
Yahuweh* are upon the righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and
guiltless, fair, approved and accepted ones that are in a right relationship
with Him, and His ears and ability to hear are open for and on behalf of their
prayer and request, petition and plea, entreaty and communication;

Now, who is there to harm or mistreat, distress or afflict, injure or ruin, hurt or oppress, maltreat or befoul, embitter or turn against you if you come to be and exist, arise and appear as zealous and enthusiastic, devoted and eager, desirous and earnest, adherent and striven, making it your goal and concerning yourself with what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable? But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, if you also experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of righteousness and validation, acceptance and vindication, uprightness, justice and acquittance, you are blessed and happy, fortunate and good, prosperous and privileged, “And do not fear or be afraid, tremble or be alarmed, frightened or intimidated of what they are fearful and terrified, frightened, alarmed and intimidated of,” * but nevertheless, regard Yahuweh*, the Anointed One*, as set-apart and cleansed within and inside your hearts, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, always and perpetually, incessantly, continually and at all times being prepared and ready to give an answer and verbal defence, reply and reasoned statement to everyone, individually and collectively, who asks and begs, calls for and craves, desires and requires, inquires and requests, demands and pleads for a word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter from you about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to the hope, the expectation, confidence and trust in a future prospect of salvation that is within and inside you all; but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, do it together with gentleness and modesty, courtesy and meekness, friendliness and considerateness, and reverence and respect, having and holding, acquiring and receiving, owning and possessing a good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable conscience and moral judgement, perception and discernment, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, truth from lies, good from bad, and the awareness to choose rightly, so that, in order that and with the result that in, by with whenever they speak against or criminate, traduce or slander, revile or speak degradingly of, speak evil of or defame, accuse or calumniate, disparage or scorn, mock or tell false tales, exaggeratedly prattle against or secretly whisper harmful gossip or derogatory information against you, those who mistreat and insult, slander and revile, abuse and threaten, despise and insolently oppose, vexatiously treat, speak disparagingly of and falsely accuse your good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable manner and way of life, behaviour and conduct in, by and with Messiah*, may be dishonoured and put to shame, confounded, tarnished and disgraced. For this reason, it is superior and better, higher and more important, more prominent and more excellent to experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering for doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing what is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable, if that is what God’s* will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, gracious disposition and good pleasure, decree and law, precept and inclination may want and wish, prefer and aim, intend, will and desire of, than for doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing what is bad and wicked, wrong and troublesome, pernicious and baneful, reproachful and abusive, worthless and unskilled, injurious and destructive, incorrect and harmful, evil and vicious, noisome and intellectually errant, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten. For concerning this, the Anointed Messiah* died and suffered death, having His soul separated from His body, once and for all about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to sins and errors, misses of the mark and mistakes, violations of the law of the Supreme One and wanderings from the Way and from the state of uprightness on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for you all, the righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted one on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for the unrighteous and unjustified, wicked and wrong, deceitful and false ones who transgress and violate the Law of the Supreme One, so that, in order that and with the result that He may lead and bring, draw and present, move and introduce you all to God*, having been put to death and lifelessness, inanimateness and having become deceased in the flesh and mortal body, but nevertheless, having been made alive and to continually exist in, by and with the Spirit*, in, by and with which He also went and travelled, proceeded and journeyed to announce and declare, publically pronounce and publish, openly preach and teach to the spirits* in prison and jail, under the watchful eye of guards in the abode of the dead, to those who then, at that time, were disobedient and rejected, opposed and refused to trust, rely upon and comply with the Supreme One, when the patience and endurance, forbearance and perseverance, steadfastness and restraint of God* patiently waited and expected, looked on and assiduously watched in, by and with the days and times, ages and seasons of Noakh*, while the ship and ark was being built and constructed, erected and created, prepared and made, for and on behalf of which a few, that is and exists as eight* souls of people, were thoroughly delivered and preserved, saved and kept from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of water, and immersion and submersion, the corresponding copy and reproduction, impression and counterpart, figure and image of this, now, at this present time, delivers and preserves, saves and keeps you all from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation, not as a putting off and removal, getting rid of and laying aside of the dirt, uncleanness and filth of the flesh and mortal body, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, it is an appeal and request, demand and craving, seeking and desire, pledge and promise to God* for a good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable conscience and moral judgement, perception and discernment, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, truth from lies, good from bad, and the awareness to choose rightly through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the resurrection, restoration and raising up of Yahushua* Messiah*, He Who, having gone and travelled, proceeded and journeyed into heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, is and exist in, by and at the right hand of God*, having subjected and ordered, arranged and governed, set and placed Heavenly messengers and envoys, and authorities and powers that have right and ability, permission and freedom, energy, force and influence, and dominions and ruling powers under His power and control.

Live According To The Will Of God

Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, as Messiah* experienced and underwent, received and endured suffering in the flesh and mortal body, you yourselves should also arm and prepare, equip and furnish, provide, harness and ready yourselves with the same understandings and will, manners and feelings, notions and concepts, deliberations and insights, perceptions and purposes, dispositions and intentions, resolutions and attitude, for concerning this, whoever experiences and undergoes, receives and endures suffering in his or her flesh and mortal body* has ceased and desisted, stopped and ended, been restrained and kept, hindered and kept back, refrained and quietened from sin and error, the miss of the mark and mistakes, the violation of the law of the Supreme One and the wandering from the Way and from the state of uprightness, to live, survive and pass through one’s life for the rest of the remaining portion of time in, by and with the flesh and mortal body, no more, no longer and no further for and on behalf of the evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, coveting, impulses and passions of men and other human beings, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, for the will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, gracious disposition and good pleasure, decree and law, precept and inclination of God*. For this reason, the amount of time that has past and has now gone by is sufficient and enough, adequate and satisfactory to thoroughly perform and accomplish, achieve and produce, bring about and result in, complete and acquire, fashion and do what the Gentile nations and races’ have planed and intended, loving desired and wanted, affectionately willed and wished, deliberately chosen, purposed and preferred, to continually go and travel, proceed and journey, conduct and live their lives in, by and with debauchery and unbridled lust, licentiousness and voluptuousness, outrageousness and wantonness, shamelessness and insolence, evil desires and cravings, lusts and longings, impulses and passions, drunkenness, binge drinking and intoxication, orgies and carousing, revelling, excessive feasting and festivities of riotous conduct, drinking matches, bouts and parties, and unlawful and illegal, forbidden and disgusting, detestable and unseemly, criminal and bad worshipping of false gods, images and idolatry manifested in feasts celebrating and honouring false gods. In, by and with this, they think it is strange and are surprised, astonished and amazed, struck with wonder and are shocked when you do not run and rush together to eagerly join, go along with them and plunge into the same pouring out and overflowing, excessiveness and extremeness, gulf and sewer of debauchery and dissipation, profligacy and wasteful squandering, extravagant spending and engaging in lustful temptations. These who blaspheme and lie, maliciously slander and abusively speak, injuriously reproach and vilify, personally mock and insult, revile and defame against you, in a future time, will deliver and give back, discharge and repay, bestow and yield, return, restore and render an account to Him Who is ready and willing to separate and sunder, make distinction between and dispute, debate and take issue with, discriminate and determine, content and differentiate, decide and evaluate, assess and judge the living and continually existing, and the dead and lifeless, deceased and inanimate. For the reason that it is for and on behalf of this that the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration was also declared and proclaimed, brought and told, announced and communicated to those who are dead and lifeless, deceased and inanimate, so that, in order that and with the result that they may be separated and sundered, made distinction between and disputed, debated and taken issue with, discriminated and determined, contented and differentiated, decided and evaluated, assessed and judged indeed, truly and surely according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the way men and human beings are in the flesh and mortal body, but nevertheless, they may live and continue to exist in Spirit* in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to God*.
Use Your Gifts For Each Other
7 - 11
But nevertheless, the completion and perfection, accomplishment and execution, fulfilment and establishment, achievement and conclusion of the aim, goal and purpose of every individual and collective thing has neared and come close, at hand and imminent. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, be of sound and of the right mind, sane and reasonable, sensible and moderate, self-controlled and think with thoughts that are straight and sober, discreet and that are of sound judgement, and be well-balanced and temperate, sober and clear headed for and on behalf of prayers and communication with the Supreme One. Before and ahead of all individual and collective things, have and hold, acquire and receive, own and posses intense and earnest, eager and fervent, extended and continual, assiduous and resolute, constant and unceasing, persistent and free, abundant and zealous brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence for and on behalf of each other, for concerning this, “Brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence will cover and hide, veil and cause a multitude and great number of sins and errors, misses of the mark and mistakes, violations of the law of the Supreme One and wandering from the Way and from the state of uprightness to be overlooked and forgiven.” * Show hospitality, generosity and kindness to one another without, independent from and apart from grumbling and murmuring, complaining and muttering, just as and exactly as each one has received and accepted, taken and seized, acquired and collected, grasped and obtained, chosen and selected, claimed and procured, apprehended and admitted a graciously granted gift and present, minister and serve it to each other, supporting and waiting on, aiding and taking care of each other as, like and similar to good and pleasant, excellent and fine, useful and beneficial, nice and salutary, upright and worthy, admirable and commendable, precious and genuine, flawless and lovely, virtuous, beautiful and honourable stewards and managers, administrators and overseers of God’s* varied and diverse, new and unheard of, unknown and different favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness, whether some certain one speaks and chats, let them do so as, like and similar to one who speaks the sayings and pronouncements, oracles and words, messages and statements, declarations and thoughts, instructions and teachings, decrees, mandates and matters of God*; whether some certain one ministers and serves, aids and supports, let them do so as, like and similar to one who serves from out of the physical strength and ability, power and superiority, capacity and increased force which is abundantly furnished, generously supplied and lavishly provided by God*, so that, in order that and with the result that in, by and with every individual and collective thing, God* may be given glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty through the means of and on the ground of, for the reason of and on account of, on the basis of and because of Yahushua* Messiah*, to Who is and exists glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, and force and power, strength and might for and on behalf of eternity, for the unbroken age and the perpetuity of time. Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth!
Sufferings
12 - 19
Beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded ones, do not think it is strange or be surprised, astonished or amazed, truck with wonder or be shocked at the burning trial and refining fire, fiery test and painful suffering within and inside of you all, since it comes to be and exist, arises and appears to test and objectively examine, scrutinize and entice you all to prove, determine and ascertain your genuineness, behavioural response and character for your advantage, as if something that was different and various, diverse and foreign, strange and alien, new and unheard of, out of place or unknown was accidently coming about and happening, contingently meeting with and consequently attacking you all, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, be extremely glad and cheerful, merry and joyful, rejoice exceedingly and celebrate considerably insofar as and accordingly as you share, participate and partake in the sufferings and afflictions, calamities and sorrows, grievances and misfortunes of the Anointed Messiah*, so that, in order that and with the result that you may also be extremely glad and cheerful, merry and joyful, rejoice exceedingly and celebrate considerably, actively leaping for joy and rejoicing, being exceedingly glad and exulting in, by and with the revelation and disclosure, laying bare and displaying, uncovering and manifestation of His glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty. If you are insulted and reproached, reviled and disgraced because of and on account of the name and title, character and person, reputation and authority of Messiah*, you are blessed and happy, fortunate and good, prosperous and privileged, for concerning this, the Spirit* of glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, and of God* rests and continues, remains, abides and settles upon you all. For this reason, do not let anyone of you experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering as, like and similar to a murderer, slayer and killer, or as, like and similar to a thief who takes away by stealth and surprise, or someone who does and performs, accomplishes and executes, practises and brings about, undertakes, keeps and carries out, constructs and establishes what is bad and wicked, wrong and troublesome, pernicious and baneful, reproachful and abusive, worthless and unskilled, injurious and destructive, incorrect and harmful, evil and vicious, noisome and intellectually errant, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten, or as, like and similar to someone who oversees and watches, keeps an eye on, interferes and intervenes with the matters and affairs of others, But nevertheless, if you suffer as, like and similar to a Chrestian*, the superior and good, benevolent and kind, gracious and pleasant, upright and useful, excellent and suitable ones, do not let yourself be ashamed or humiliated, dishonoured or disgraced, confounded or disappointed, but nevertheless, let yourself give glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty to God* in, by and with this name and title, character and person, reputation and authority, for concerning this, the day and time, age and season for the verdict and judgement, decision and evaluation, condemnation and punishment, determination and assessment, legal decree and sentence from the house and home, dwelling and abode of God* is about to begin and start its initiation, action and process; and if it starts firstly and chiefly, principally and most importantly with us, which or what will be the completion and perfection, accomplishment and execution, fulfilment and establishment, achievement and conclusion of the aim, goal and purpose of those who disobey and reject, oppose and refuse to trust, rely upon and comply with the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of God*? And “If the righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted one that is in a right relationship with Him is scarcely delivered and preserved, saved and kept from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation, where, in what place, will the abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly, and the sinner, those who have erred, missed the mark and made mistakes, violated the law of the Supreme One and wandered from the Way and from the state of uprightness, shine or radiate, reveal or exhibit, disclose or manifest his or her light and illumination - what will become of them?” * So then and therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, those who also experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, gracious disposition and good pleasure, decree and law, precept and inclination of God*, let them entrust and commit, present and place, deposit and give over, set and deliver, apply and employ their souls into the care and protection of a trustworthy and reliable Creator and Founder who is worthy to be obeyed and have confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence placed in Him, whilst doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing the things that are good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable.
Chapter 5
Shepherd The Flock
1 - 11
Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, I exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to the older men who are the elders among you all, as a fellow older man who is an elder, and who is also a witness and affirmer, sharer and testifier of the sufferings and afflictions, calamities and sorrows, grievances and misfortunes of God*, and also a partner and associate, comrade, companion and fellow participant in the glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty that is about and inevitable to, determined and intended to, certain and expected to be revealed and disclosed, laid bare and shown, uncovered and manifested: shepherd and tend to, guide and care for, look after, cherish and provide for the flock of God* that is among and with you, looking upon and inspecting, looking after and carefully overseeing, giving attention to and regarding, examining and considering their welfare, not in a forced manner or unwillingly, nor from out of obligation or by compulsion, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, willingly and voluntarily, spontaneously and deliberately, intentionally and purposely in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to God*, and not covetously or greedily, desiring and having a fondness and eagerness for dishonest and shameful gain, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, willingly and readily, eagerly and with alacrity, freely and zealously, actively and by your own free will; and not as, like or similar to someone who rules over and domineers, overpowers and subdues unwilling subjects that are in your assigned lots and shares, portions and those entrusted to your care and who are under your responsibility, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, come to be and exist, arise and appear as a figure and form, image and substance, pattern and model, character and impression, shape and mould, outline and type, kind and style, design and content, representation and example to the flock, and when the Chief Shepherd and Herdsman has been made known and declared by relating, indicated and signified, imparted knowledge of and demonstrated, shown and given evidence of, revealed and explained, clarified and made plain, you will obtain and receive, get and take up, acquire, attain and gain the Amaranth* crown that is unfading and enduring, lasting and perpetual, immortal and imperishable, the wreath of glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty. Likewise and similarly, in the exact same way, you who are younger and the youths should cooperate with, defer to and respect the older men who are your elders, but nevertheless, everyone, individually and collectively, should cloth yourselves and wear, gird yourselves with and wrap yourselves up, draw garments to yourselves closely and constantly have your main characteristic of humility and modesty towards one another, for concerning this, “God* Himself engages in battle against and opposes, resists and is hostile towards, withstands and is set against the arrogant and proud, haughty and contemptuous, overbearing and domineering, but nevertheless, He gives and grants, supplies and furnishes, bestows and delivers, commits and permits, extends and presents favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness to the humble and unpretentious, modest and meek, gentile, mild and obedient.” * Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, be humble, modest and unpretentious under and subject to the power and control of the strong and fierce, restless, mighty and powerful hand of God*, so that, in order that and with the result that you may be lifted up and exalted, elevated and dignified, honoured and raised up on high in, by and with the favourable day and time, age and season, having thrown down and cast, set and put your cares and concerns, anxieties, distractions and worries upon Him, for concerning this, He cares and has concern, takes an interest in and thinks about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to you all. Be well-balanced and temperate, sober and clear headed, watching and giving strict attention, staying alert and being vigilant, for concerning this, your opponent, enemy and adversary, the Devil, the false accuser and slander, “As, like and similar to a roaring, bellowing and howling lion,” * walks around and behaves, lives, conducts and regulates his life, works and actions seeking and wishing for, wanting and demanding, endeavouring to obtain and striving for, looking for and desiring someone that he may swallow and absorb, overpower and devour, overcome and destroy. Stand upright and sustained, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and firm, maintained and authorised against and resist and oppose, withstand and refuse to yield, being grounded and firm, immovable and steadfast, solid and permanent in the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, having seen and perceived, become acquainted with and experienced, looked at and taken heed of, noticed and considered, paid attention to and known that concerning this, you are thoroughly and successfully completing and perfecting, accomplishing and executing, carrying out and fulfilling, performing and establishing, achieving and concluding, ending and finishing the aim, goal and purpose of the same sort of sufferings and afflictions, calamities and sorrows, grievances and misfortunes as your brotherhood that are amongst and inside the world and cosmos, the entire world of man. But nevertheless, after you have experienced and undergone, received and endured suffering for a little and small amount of time, the God* of all individual and collective favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure, mercy and loving kindness, He Who called, summoned and invited you to His eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty in, by and with Messiah* Yahushua*, He Himself will perfect and complete, order and arrange, establish and restore, equip and prepare, setup, render and strengthen, persevere and support, fix and confirm, stabilise and ground, set and stand you upright and immovable, founded and provide a secure basis and foundation for you, causing you to be constant and unwavering. To Him be force and power, strength and might for and on behalf of eternity, for the unbroken age and the perpetuity of time. Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth!
