These [are] the words which Moses – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;

²eleven days’ from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;}

⁴after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,

⁵beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:

^{6 `Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;}

⁷turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;

^{8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.}

⁹`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;

^{10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;}

¹¹Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.

¹²`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?

^{13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;}

¹⁴and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.

¹⁵`And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

¹⁶And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

¹⁷ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;

¹⁸and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.

¹⁹`And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.

^{20 `And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;}

^{21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.}

²²`And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;

²³and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.

²⁴`And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,

^{25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.}

^{26 `And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,}

^{27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah’s hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;}

²⁸whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.

²⁹`And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;

³⁰Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,

^{31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.}

³²`And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,

³³who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.

^{34 `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,}

³⁵Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

^{36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.}

^{37 `Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;}

³⁸Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.

³⁹`And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

^{40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.}

^{41 `And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;}

⁴²and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.

⁴³`And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;

⁴⁴and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.

^{45 `And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;}

^{46 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt. – Aslan International Ministry}

Let no one deceive you with vain words, – ASLAN International Ministry

Ephesians 5:6-206 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,7 become not, then, partakers with them,8 for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,9 for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,10 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,12 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,13 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;14 wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.’15 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil;17 because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,18 and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,20 giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;

Let no one say, being tempted — `From God I am tempted – ASLAN International Ministry

James 1:13-1813 Let no one say, being tempted — `From God I am tempted,’ for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,14 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,15 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;18 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

`When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,

^{2 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them — thou dost utterly devote them — thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.}

^{3 `And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,}

^{4 for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.}

^{5 `But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;}

⁶for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

^{7 `Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye [are] the least of all the peoples,}

⁸but because of Jehovah’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

^{9 `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands — to a thousand generations,}

¹⁰and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him — unto his face, He repayeth to him —

¹¹and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.

¹²`And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,

^{13 and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.}

¹⁴`Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman — nor among your cattle;

¹⁵and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.

^{16 `And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee.}

^{17 `When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —}

^{18 thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,}

^{19 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.}

²⁰`And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;

²¹thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.

^{22 `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),}

²³and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them — a great destruction — till their destruction;

²⁴and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.

^{25 `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];}

^{26 and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house — or thou hast been devoted like it; — thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted. – Aslan International Ministry}

`And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away,

^{2 and hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul —}

³then hath Jehovah thy God turned back [to] thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.

^{4 `If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;}

^{5 and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy fathers.}

⁶`And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;

^{7 and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee.}

⁸`And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day;

⁹and Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah turneth back to rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers,

^{10 for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.}

^{11 `For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off.}

^{12 It is not in the heavens, — saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it.}

¹³And it [is] not beyond the sea, — saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it?

^{14 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart — to do it.}

¹⁵`See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,

^{16 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.}

^{17 `And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,}

¹⁸I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.

^{19 `I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,}

^{20 to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.’ – Aslan International Ministry}

I am the true vine – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 15 `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

^{2 every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;}

^{3 already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;}

^{4 remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.}

^{5 `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;}

^{6 if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;}

^{7 if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.}

^{8 `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.}

^{9 According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;}

^{10 if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;}

^{11 these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.}

^{12 `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;}

^{13 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;}

¹⁴ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

^{15 no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.}

^{16 `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.}

^{17 `These things I command you, that ye love one another;}

^{18 if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;}

^{19 if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not — but I chose out of the world — because of this the world hateth you.}

^{20 `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;}

^{21 but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;}

^{22 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.}

²³`He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

^{24 if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;}

^{25 but — that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law — They hated me without a cause.}

^{26 `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;}

^{27 and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me. – Aslan International Ministry}
