And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides – ASLAN International Ministry

2 Peter 1:5-115 And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,6 and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,7 and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;8 for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;10 wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,11 for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

`At that time hath Jehovah said unto me – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `At that time hath Jehovah said unto me, Grave for thee two tables of stone, like the first, and come up unto Me, into the mount, and thou hast made for thee an ark of wood,

Aslan International Ministry

and I write on the tables the words which were on the first tables, which thou hast broken, and thou hast placed them in the ark;

and I make an ark of shittim wood, and grave two tables of stone like the first, and go up to the mount, and the two tables in my hand.

4 `And He writeth on the tables, according to the first writing, the Ten Matters, which Jehovah hath spoken unto you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and Jehovah giveth them unto me,

and I turn and come down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, and they are there, as Jehovah commanded me.

`And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera, there Aaron died, and he is buried there, and Eleazar his son doth act as priest in his stead;

thence they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

8 `At that time hath Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day,

therefore there hath not been to Levi a portion and inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as Jehovah thy God hath spoken to him.

10 `And I — I have stood in the mount, as the former days, forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto me also at that time; Jehovah hath not willed to destroy thee.

11 `And Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

12 `And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

13 to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

14 `Lo, to Jehovah thy God [are] the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that [is] in it;

15 only in thy fathers hath Jehovah delighted — to love them, and He doth fix on their seed after them — on you, out of all the peoples as [at] this day;

16 and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and your neck ye do not harden any more;

17 for Jehovah your God — He [is] God of the gods, and Lord of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful; who accepteth not persons, nor taketh a bribe;

18 He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.

19 `And ye have loved the sojourner, for sojourners ye were in the land of Egypt.

20 `Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost swear.

21 He [is] thy praise, and He [is] thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful [things] which thine eyes have seen:

22 with seventy persons did thy fathers go down to Egypt, and now hath Jehovah thy God made thee as stars of the heavens for multitude.  – 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

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,

And on the first of the sabbaths – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry –  20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

Aslan International Ministry

she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.’

Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

10 The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

11 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,

12 one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

13 And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?’ she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;’

14 and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.

15 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;’ she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;’

16 Jesus saith to her, `Mary!’ having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;’ that is to say, `Teacher.’

17 Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.’

18 Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her.

19 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;’

20 and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;’

22 and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

23 if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.’

24 And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

25 the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;’ and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.’

26 And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!’

27 then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.’

28 And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;’

29 Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.’

30 Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

31 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.’  – Aslan International Ministry
