Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved – ASLAN International Ministry

Ephesians 5:1-55 Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,2 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,3 and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;4 also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;5 for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

Verily, verily, I say to you – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 10 `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

Aslan International Ministry

and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;

3 to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;

and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;

and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.’

6 This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — I am the door of the sheep;

all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them;

I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

10 `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.

11 `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep;

12 and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

13 and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep.

14 `I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine,

15 according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,

16 and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock — one shepherd.

17 `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it;

18 no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself; authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to take it; this command I received from my Father.’

19 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

20 and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?’

21 others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac; is a demon able blind men’s eyes to open?’

22 And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter,

23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon,

24 the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.’

25 Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

26 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

27 according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

28 and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish — to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

29 my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

30 I and the Father are one.’

31 Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

32 Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?’

33 The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.’

34 Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

35 if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

36 of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say — Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

37 if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;

38 and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.’

39 Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

40 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there,

41 and many came unto him, and said — `John, indeed, did no sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were true;’

42 and many did believe in him there.  – Aslan International Ministry

And there was a certain one ailing – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 11 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

Aslan International Ministry

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;’

and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’

And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;’

the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!’

Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.’

11 These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;’

12 therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;’

13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;’

16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,’

17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;’

23 Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.’

24 Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;’

25 Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

26 and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

27 believest thou this?’ she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.’

28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;’

29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.’

32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;’

33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

34 `Where have ye laid him?’ they say to him, `Sir, come and see;’

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!’

37 and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?’

38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

39 Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;’ the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;’

40 Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?’

41 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

42 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.’

43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;’

44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.’

45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

48 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.’

49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.’

51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

55 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

56 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?’

57 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.  – Aslan International Ministry

21 `Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who [is] within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for a holy people thou [art] to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

22 `Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

23 and thou hast eaten before Jehovah thy God, in the place where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost learn to fear Jehovah thy God all the days.

24 `And when the way is too much for thee, that thou art not able to carry it — when the place is too far off from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, when Jehovah thy God doth bless thee; —

25 then thou hast given [it] in money, and hast bound up the money in thy hand, and gone unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix;

26 and thou hast given the money for any thing which thy soul desireth, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for any thing which thy soul asketh, and thou hast eaten there before Jehovah thy God, and thou hast rejoiced, thou and thy house.

27 As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not forsake him, for he hath no portion and inheritance with thee.

28 `At the end of three years thou dost bring out all the tithe of thine increase in that year, and hast placed [it] within thy gates;

29 and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost. – Aslan International Ministry

Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and Jehovah sheweth him all the land — Gilead unto Dan,

Aslan International Ministry

2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the further sea,

and the south, and the circuit of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, unto Zoar.

And Jehovah saith unto him, `This [is] the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it; I have caused thee to see with thine eyes, and thither thou dost not pass over.’

And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of Moab, according to the command of Jehovah;

6 and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his burying place unto this day.

And Moses [is] a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.

8 And the sons of Israel bewail Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses are completed.

9 And Joshua son of Nun is full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the sons of Israel hearken unto him, and do as Jehovah commanded Moses.

10 And there hath not arisen a prophet any more in Israel like Moses, whom Jehovah hath known face unto face,

11 in reference to all the signs and the wonders which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

12 and in reference to all the strong hand, and to all the great fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel. – Aslan International Ministry
