From: - To: Páulus, a called delegate of Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed through Yâ-hwéh’s will, and Sosthénes the brother: To the convocation of Yâ-hwéh which is in Qorínth called pure ones, having been purified by the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, together with all those in every place calling on the name of our Sovereign (both theirs and ours), Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed One! Favor is yours and peace from Yâ-hwéh: our Father, and our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa`, the Anointed One. 1

The importance of the correct testimony ¶ I thank my mighty Ones always about you, over the favor of Yâ-hwéh that was granted to you by the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, Because ye were enriched within Him in everything, in every matter and all knowledge, Inasmuch as the testimony of the Deliverer was established within you; Consequently ye are not behind in any spiritual endowment, as ye await the disclosure of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Deliverer; Who will also establish you until the event: unaccused - on the Day of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Deliverer! [6th Seal]

Trustworthy is the Power by Whose hand ye were called into the community of His Son, Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed, our Sovereign.

The right name prevents divisions So I implore you, my brothers, about1 the name of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed, that ye maintain the same Word for all, so there will be no schisms among you! And be ye whole-hearted within the same understanding and within the same knowledge!

For by those of Xlóe’s house, it was shown to me about you, my brothers, that there are quarrels among you.

But I say this, because everyone of you says: “I indeed am of Páulus!”

Per the Aramaic. “‫ ”ב‬can and does mean about in this case by the context.

Or “I am of ’Apollós!”

Or “I am of Këph!”

Or “I am of the Anointed One!” Why? Has the Anointed been divided?

Was Páulus hung on a gallows-cross for you? Or were ye immersed into the name of Páulus?

I thank Yâ-hwéh that I did not immerse any of you, except Kríspus and Cáius, In order that no one might say that I immersed into my name!

But I also immersed the house of Stephanás; as to the rest, I don’t know if I immersed anyone else.

The crucified Anointed: the Wisdom and the Force of Yâ-hwéh ¶ For the Anointed One did not send me to immerse, rather to announce the glad tidings! Not by a word of wisdom, in

order that the gallows-cross hanging of the Anointed might not be made void, For the Word of the One2 hanged on a gallows-cross is absurdity to those indeed perishing, but to us who are being delivered, it is the Force of Yâ-hwéh!

For it has been written: “the wisdom of their learned ones will wander off and get lost, and the understanding of their discerning ones will be carefully hidden!” [Yshá`Yâhuw 29: 13-14] Where is a wise one? Where is a scribe?

Where is a commentator of this age?

Didn’t Yâ-hwéh make absurd the wisdom of this world?

This translation is meant both ways: both in the name of Yâhuwshúa` being rejected (v.21), and in the concept of Yâ-hwéh to be hanged on a cross being rejected (v.23).

Considering this, returning to the rendition “preaching of the cross” (KJV), “message of the cross” (NIV), or “word of the gallows” (HRV) are insufficient to express both of these concepts.

For since by Yâ-hwéh’s wisdom, the world did not acknowledge Yâ-hwéh through wisdom, Yâ-hwéh was pleased through the apparent absurdity of the proclamation to rescue those persuaded, Since both “Yehuwthím3” ask for a sign of force, and Greeks4 seek wisdom, Yet we proclaim the Anointed has been hanged on a gallows-cross: to “Yehuwthím” indeed a snare, and to Greeks absurdity!

But to those called, both Yâhuwthím and Hellenists (“Christians”), the Word of the5 Anointed is the Force of Yâ-hwéh and the wisdom of Yâ-hwéh!

This is their self-applied name which is a corruption of the tribe’s true name, Yâhuwthâ´h. These are the original name-censors who take this to the extreme (see their number system). “Yehuwthím” or “Yehuwthíy” is used in these texts only when it is applied to this name-erasing religious group.

4 The Aramaic Peshitta translation has throughout this passage “Arameans” instead of Greeks. Páulus was probably referring to the Greek philosophers, so here I use the Greek version.

5 Analyzing the context (see verse 18 and its note), this must have been here. It means the called understand and acknowledge His Word (name), and that the matter of the hanging of the Deliverer is also to these a sign of Force and wisdom!

Because the apparent absurdness of Yâhwéh is wiser than the sons of ’Âthâ´m, and the infirmity of Yâ-hwéh is mightier than the sons of ’Âthâ´m.

Where to find His little flock and why: ¶ For look ye at your calling, my brothers, because not many are wise ones according to the flesh, not many are powerful ones, not many are sons of noble birth. [Yshá`Yâhuw 45: 14] Instead, Yâ-hwéh chose the silly ones of the world in order that He might put to shame the wise ones; and Yâ-hwéh chose the powerless things of the world in order that He might put the mighty things to shame!

Also, Yâ-hwéh chose the ones of unknown descent of the world and the disesteemed ones – the ones that aren’t, in order that 7

He may render entirely useless the ones that are, So that all of flesh might not boast before Him. But ye are [sons] from Him, within the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, Who has become, from Yâ-hwéh’s wisdom, both our justification and purification, even a full ransom!

In order that, according to how it has been written: [Thus says Yâ-hwéh: “Let the wise man not boast about his wisdom and let the warrior not boast about his heroism, let the rich man not boast about his riches: Because] let the one boasting rather boast about this – to being circumspect and to acknowledging Me, because I am Yâ-hwéh, [the One exercising kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in

‫ֹק ִרנְתִ ים א‬

these!” declares Yâ-hwéh. (YirmYâ´huw 9: 23-24)] Chapter 2 How Páulus proclaimed the glad tidings and why: ¶ And when I had come before you, my brothers, I came announcing to you the testimony6 of Yâ-hwéh, not according to excellency of reasoning or wisdom, For I decided within my self not to discern anything among you except Yâhuwshúa` is the Deliverer, and also His having been hanged on a gallows-cross.

And I was before you, even in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 1.

The Aramaic Peshitta translation has here “Secret”. Contextually, the Greek is more logical, since the secret of Yâ-hwéh is the blindness given to Yisrâ’Ë´l (Christianity) so they might not repent and be destroyed, until the entry of the fullness of the heathen masses into the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh.

Yet my Word and my proclamation were not by persuasive words of human wisdom, rather by exhibitions of spirit and Force, In order that your persuasion might not happen by the wisdom of the sons of ’Âthâ´m, rather by the Force of Yâ-hwéh!

¶ But we do speak wisdom among the mature, and wisdom – not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are to be rendered entirely idle – Instead, we speak the wisdom of Yâ-hwéh within a secret: the one hidden away, which Yâ-hwéh predetermined before the ages for our honor, Which not one of the rulers of this age has recognized – for if they had recognized it, they wouldn’t have hanged

’Athoníy-haKâvówth (the Sovereign of the Honor7) on a gallows-cross! [Nikódemos 21: 2-3, Psalms 24] Instead, just as it has been written: “Since antiquity, they haven’t heeded, they hadn’t lent an ear! No eye had seen a mighty Ones except You, Who works for one adhering to Him.” [Yshá`Yâhuw 64: 4] Yet to us, Yâ-hwéh disclosed Him through His spirit, for the spirit searches all things, even the deep things of Yâhwéh!

For, which one is the son of ’Âthâ´m who discerns the things of a son of ’Âthâ´m, except the spirit of the son of ’Âthâ´m that is within him? Thus also, no one

“The Sovereign of Honor” is found often in the Book of Chanówkh (Enoch), sometimes Who is also called “the everlasting King”, Who will come and descend to visit the earth with goodness. (24:8) 7

discerns the things of Yâ-hwéh, except the spirit of Yâ-hwéh.

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, rather the spirit from Yâ-hwéh, in order that we might discern the gifts granted to us by Yâ-hwéh, That which we also speak, not by expressions taught of human wisdom, rather in expressions taught of a pure spirit, communicating spiritual things to spiritual ones.

But the animate son of ’Âthâ´m does not accept the things of the spirit of Yâ-hwéh, for to him they are apparent absurdity; and he is incapable of recognizing them, because they are investigated spiritually!

Now the spiritual man indeed investigates all things, but no one can investigate him.

For Who was acquainted with the mind of Yâ-hwéh, that shall comprehend Him?

‫ֹק ִרנְתִ ים א‬

But we do hold the mind8 of the Anointed One. Chapter 3 But Qorinthíym were yet fleshly ¶ Yet I, my brothers, was not able then to speak to you as to spiritual ones, rather as to fleshly ones, as to infants within the Anointed One. I gave you milk9 to drink, and not meat, for ye were not yet able, nevertheless, not even now are ye yet able!

For ye are yet in the flesh. For wherever there is envy and wrangling and dissensions among you, are ye not carnal, and walk about in the flesh?

For whenever one may say: 1.

The spirit of Truth, the Advocate, is the human spirit of the Deliverer.

9 Bar-Nâvíy and Páulus in his letter to the `Ivríym make clear that the Word of Yâ-hwéh, Yâhuwshúa`, is the milk. The first thing believers should learn and acknowledge is this.

This is why name-denying Christians can’t learn about everything else and get stuck on that striking Stone and obstacle Rock.

The role of attendants Who then is Páulus, and who is ’Apollós, but attendants by whose hands ye were persuaded, and to each as Yâ-hwéh gave?

I planted, ’Apollós watered; nevertheless, Yâ-hwéh gave growth!

Consequently, neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters; rather He Who gives growth is the mighty Ones!

Yet he who plants and he who waters are united; but each shall receive his own wages according to his own labor.

For we are Yâ-hwéh’s fellow-workers, ye are Yâ-hwéh’s cultivated field, the Houseedifice of the Power (Bë´yth-’Ël).

‫ֹק ִרנְתִ ים א‬ 10.

According to the favor of Yâ-hwéh that was given to me in the manner of a wise architect, I have placed the Foundation, but another builds the house up. But let each beware how he builds up the house!

The Foundation saves, the works receive wages For no one is capable of placing a different foundation besides this One Which is laid out, Which is Yâhuwshúa`, the Anointed One! [Chanówkh 97: 12] And if anyone edifies upon this Foundation using gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or grass, or straw, The work of each will become apparent, for the Day will clarify it, because it is disclosed by Fire, and the Fire itself will test the work of what sort it is!

But if the work of anyone shall be burned to the ground, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but likewise, as through a fire.

Don’t ye discern that ye are a temple building of Yâ-hwéh, and the spirit of Yâhwéh dwells within you [singular]?

If anyone ruins the temple building of Yâhwéh, Yâ-hwéh shall ruin this one! For the temple building of Yâ-hwéh is pure, which ones ye are.

Abandon man’s “wisdom” for the True wisdom, and why But who is to endure the Day of His coming? And who is the one standing when He appears? Because He is like the fire of a refiner, or like the soap of launderers!

¶ Let no one deceive himself: if anyone among you is supposed by this age to be wise, let him become apparently absurd, in order that he may be made wise.

For the wisdom of this world is silliness alongside Yâ-hwéh, for it has been written: “Catching wise ones within their trickery and the scheme of the entwined ones is swept away!” [’Iyyówv 5: 13] And again: “Yâ-hwéh knows the contrivances of man, as they are futile:” [Psalms 94: 11] Consequently, let no one boast about sons of ’Âthâ´m, for all things are yours11.

Whether we speak of Páulus, or ’Apollós, or Këph, or the world, whether life, or

Chapter 4 Páulus’s place, not subject to man’s judgment ¶ Thus12, let man make account of us as subordinates of the Anointed One and house-managers of the secrets of Yâhwéh.

And as to the rest, it is required about house-managers that a trustworthy one be found.

But to me, it is for the least importance that I be scrutinized by you or by anyone in a day of a son of ’Âthâ´m, since not even I question myself!

Páulus apparently was being criticized by those quarreling about who they followed.

For I am conscious of nothing evil of my self, nevertheless it is not by this that I have been justified; and He Who scrutinizes me is Yâ-hwéh!

Consequently, do not judge anything before the Season of Judgment, until Yâhwéh might have come, Who both shall illuminate the hidden things of the darkness and will render apparent the purposes of the hearts, and then shall there be praise for each of us from Yâhwéh [meaning of Yâhuwthâ´h (Romans 2: 29)].

Páulus constructively criticizes his critics: Pride is wrong; the 1st shall be last, and the last 1st ¶ Now these things, my brothers, I paraphrased from scripture concerning myself and ’Apollós for your sake, in

order that ye may learn by our example to not have an opinion beyond what has been written in scripture, in order that a one for the one may not be haughty against a one of the other one.

For who makes you discriminate between us? And what Truth do you possess which you did not receive from us? Yet if you also did receive it, why did you boast as though not having received it from us?

Ye are already satiated! Ye were already enriched apart from us! Ye have reigned, and I surely wish ye did reign, in order that also we might reign together with you!

For I suppose that Yâ-hwéh set us, the delegates, forth to be the least, as appointed to death, because we have become a public spectacle to the world, both for envoys and for men!

We are “the silly ones” for the sake of the Anointed One, but ye are “the prudent ones” within the Anointed One; we are sick, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are infamous.

Even to the present hour we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are knocked, and are homeless, And are wearied, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we put up with it; Being scorned, we encourage: we are become as the filth of the world, of all the scum scoured until now.

I write these things, not to shame you; instead I admonish you as my beloved sons.

Spread the Glad Tidings! Break up unplowed ground.

For if ye should have ten thousand tutors about the Deliverer, nevertheless not many are fathers, for I did procreate all of you within the Anointed One Yâhuwshúa`, through the glad tidings!

Therefore I implore you: become imitators of me!

Due to this, I sent Timótheos to you, who is my beloved and trustworthy son in Yâhwéh, who will remind you of my ways that are within the Anointed One, just as I teach everywhere in every convocation.

But some of you have become haughty, as though I were not coming before you,13 But I shall come shortly before you, if Yâhwéh might wish; and I shall acknowledge, not the words of those who exalt their selves, instead, [the Word of those who exalt] their Force,

Meaning they felt they were unaccountable, so they had free rein to dominate proudly.

‫ֹק ִרנְתִ ים א‬ 20.

For the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh won’t exist by a decree, instead, by Force. ¶ What do ye wish; I should come before you with a rod, or with affectionate love and a spirit of gentle humility?

Chapter 5 -To purge out the old ferment: a meaning of the feast of the unfermented bread For fornication among you is heard everywhere, and such fornication that is not even done14 among the heathen masses: so a son is to also have a wife of his father!

And ye are haughty, and did not rather mourn in order that he who performed this work might be removed out from your midst!

1.

2.

Nearly all the Greek translations omit the “named” found in the KJV and in the Peshitta Aramaic. I believe its omission to be the most logical, since Satan has seen to it that this type of sin IS commonly NAMED among the heathen masses! Since scripture is timeless, and this is still not common PRACTICE among the heathen masses, this rendition is done here in accord with 6 of the 8 Greek editions.

For I have already judged as being present the one committing this out thus – being indeed absent in body yet being present in spirit, By the name of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`: Ye being gathered together with my spirit, together with the Force of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed One15 – To give over the one of this sort to the Adversary for the destruction of his body, for spiritually he shall be made to live in the Day of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` the Deliverer!

Your boasting is not virtuous. Don’t ye understand that a little ferment16 causes the whole lump of dough to ferment?

Páulus describes here an out-of-body astral projection of his spirit mediated by Yâhwéh’s Force. The soul (self) being separated from the spirit by the sharp word of Yâhwéh, no one can astral project his spirit without force, which is either from Yâ-hwéh, or from fallen envoys of the Adversary.

16 Leaven is a broader word than `Ivríyth (Hebrew) châmë´ts, which means ferment, or to be pungent, sour. Though yeast IS a leavening agent, leaven nowadays includes ANY chemical agent which, releasing gas, adds bubbles to bread. “Yehuwthím” and those who 15

Therefore purge out the old ferment, in order that ye may be a new lump of dough, since ye are Matstsówth (“sweetness” [unfermented]). For also our Phâ´çech (Exemption [“Passover”]) is the Anointed One Who was slaughtered instead of us.

Consequently, we should celebrate the feast, not with old ferment, nor with ferment of malice and depravity, instead with Matstsówth (“sweetness” [unfermented]) bread of clear purity and Truth.

I wrote to you within the letter to not mix with male whores, Yet, not to never ever be with the male whores of this world, or with the avaricious, or robbers, or image-

worshippers, since then ye ought to exit from the world!

But now I did write to you to not mix with one, if anyone who is a brother is identified to be either a male whore, or avaricious, or an image-worshipper, or abusive, or a drunkard, or a robber – to not even eat bread together with one of this sort!

Why would it be mine also to judge those outside, when ye do not judge those within?

But Yâ-hwéh shall judge those outside, and ye shall remove the harmful one from among yourselves.

before the unrighteous and not before the pure ones?

Do ye not understand that the pure ones shall judge the world? And if ye judge the world, are ye unworthy of making the smallest judgments?

Do ye not understand that we shall judge envoys? [Disclosure 6: 13, Chanówkh 89: 32] Then much more so, things relating to the present existence!

Then when ye do have a tribunal of things relating to the present existence, ye set up those ones who are least esteemed within the convocation to judge!

I speak to you in this way for shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you, who shall be able to make settlements between his brothers?

Instead, a brother goes to law against his brother, and this before unbelievers!

Therefore indeed there already is altogether a failure among you, because ye have lawsuits among yourselves! Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather be defrauded?

Instead, ye do injustice and defraud, and these things of brothers!

Or don’t ye understand that unjust ones shall not inherit the Kingdom of Yâhwéh? Do not be misled: neither male whores, nor image-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor males who lie with males as if with women [Leviticus 18: 2217], Nor thieves, nor avaricious ones, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers shall inherit the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh!

Though some of you were these things; nevertheless ye were washed, nevertheless

“And you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman, that is detestable:”

ye were purified, nevertheless ye were justified within the name of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`, the Deliverer, and by the spirit of our mighty Ones.

Avoiding the sins done against the body ¶ All substances are lawful to me, nevertheless not all things are advantageous; all substances are lawful to me, nevertheless I will not be brought under the control of any.

The meats18 are for the gut, and the gut is for meats, yet Yâ-hwéh will render both this and these entirely idle. But the body is not for fornication, instead for Yâhwéh, and Yâ-hwéh is for the body,

Just as the Power (’Ël) also raised up our Sovereign, and He will resuscitate us through His Force!

Don’t ye discern that your bodies are members of the Anointed One? Then having taken the members of the Anointed One, shall I make these members of a whore19? May it not be!

Or don’t ye understand that he who is joined to the whore is one body? “…For they shall be” He says: “for one flesh.” [Genesis 2: 24] And he who is joined to Yâ-hwéh is one spirit.

Flee fornication! Every sin that a man might perform is outside of the body, but he who indulges in fornication sins against His own body.

Besides the physical meaning of this passage, it applies to the spiritual fornicating with Bâvél ha-Gâthówl (the Great Confusion), the Great Whore, the end-time ’Iy-zével.

For ye were bought with a price! Honor indeed Yâ-hwéh within your body and within your spirit, which are Yâ-hwéh’s!

Chapter 7 Páulus answers their questions: On celibacy and marital sex But concerning what things ye wrote to me20: For a man not to attach a woman to himself is a virtue.

1.

20

Apparently, they wrote these questions, along with the criticism they told him about: 1. Should we also be celibate like you?

2. Is avoiding marital sex ever good? Who decides when to?

3. Should we separate from our spouses to serve better? If they are nonbelievers?

4. Should we leave our calling to try to be exactly like you?

5. Is it lawful for a male to remarry? It is lawful for a virgin female to marry a divorced man?

6. Can we still eat meat from pagan offerings?

But due to fornication, let each man have his woman and let each female have her own husband.

Let the husband render to the woman the obligatory kindness, and likewise also the woman to her husband.

The woman does not have authority over her own body, rather her husband does; and similarly also the husband does not have authority over his own body, rather his woman does.

Therefore do not deprive one another, except out of mutual consent for a feast season, in order that ye may devote a Feast day for fasting and for prayer21; but come together again onto the same obligatory kindness, in order that the Adversary might not test you through your incontinence.

These things are done on Yowm Kippuríym, and marital sexual abstinence is consistent with “afflicting your selves” as is commanded in Leviticus 23: 27.

But this I relate according to concession, not according to a commandment.

For I wish all men to be even as myself, nevertheless each has his own gift from Yâ-hwéh: one indeed thus, but another thus.

But I say to the ones who do not have women and to the widows: it is virtuous for them if they should remain as I, also.

But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to take a woman than to be inflamed.

On separating from unpersuaded spouses And to the ones having women, I transmit a command (not mine, instead, of Yâhwéh): a woman is not to be separated from a husband. [MattithYâ´huw 19: 1-9] Yet, if she also might be separated, let her stay without a man [MattithYâ´huw 5: 33

Yet to the Remnant, I say (not Yâ-hwÊh): If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she will consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he will consent to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

For the unpersuaded husband is purified by the wife who believes, and the unpersuaded woman is purified by the husband who believes; else then your children would be unclean, but now they are pure.

But if the unpersuaded one separates his/herself, let him separate his/herself.

bondage in such cases, and Yâ-hwéh has called us for peace.

For what do you know, woman, if you should save your husband? Or what do you know, o man, if you should save your wife?

Though the Power did not apportion it for each to be in that manner, each one Yâhwéh has called being in that manner, let him walk about in that manner, and thus I order all within the convocations.

Stay in your vocation in which you were called For instance, was anyone called, having been circumcised? Do not uncircumcise him.

Was anyone called in uncircumcision? Do not circumcise him.

Each one: within the vocation in which he was called - in this let him stay.

Were you called being a bondman? Do not let it be a care to you; nevertheless if you yet have means to become free, the more so, employ it.

For he who is being called by Yâ-hwéh, being a bondman, is a freedman of Yâhwéh! Similarly also, he who is being called being free is a bondman of the Anointed One: Ye were bought with a price: do not become bondmen of men.

Brothers, each one: let him stay in that condition wherein he was called, with Yâhwéh.

Staying in your vocation, how applied to marital states ¶ Yet, about the ones being virgins, I do not have a commandment of Yâ-hwéh; but I give an opinion, as of one having received mercy from Yâ-hwéh to be a trustworthy one.

I deem then this a virtue at hand, due to the impending distress, that it shall be a virtue for a son of ’Âthâ´m to be thus.

Have you been bound to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Have you been released from a wife? Do not seek a woman.

Yet if you (a husband22) may also have taken another woman, you did not sin, and

The Greek and `Ivríyth (Hebrew) pronouns have gender. This verse contrasts the identical situation of MattithYâ´huw 5: 32, but for men. There it says divorced women who remarry another man sins, just as an untaken man who marries a divorced woman also sins. But here, it speaks of a man who has been released from a nonbeliever wife who is unwilling to cohabit with him (for His name’s sake) and is left alone. It recommends him to not seek a wife. But if he has already taken another virginal wife afterwards, they have 22

if you (a husband) might have married a virgin, she did not sin, but such shall have oppression by the ones of the flesh, but I am sparing you.

woman is diverted in the things of Yâhwéh, how he shall please Yâ-hwéh; But he who has a woman is diverted in the things of the world, how he shall please his woman; As also the woman and the virgin are different.

She who is unmarried is diverted in the things of Yâ-hwéh, in order that she may be pure both in body and in spirit; but she who has a husband is diverted in the things of the world: how she may please her husband.

But I say this towards your own advantage, not in order that I may throw a noose upon you, rather towards your well-formation and ministering well to Yâ-hwéh without a worldly distraction.

But if anyone thinks to behave inappropriately for his virginity, if he is beyond his prime and thus it ought to be, 39

let him do what he wills – he does not sin: let them marry!

But he who stands firm within his heart, not having distress, and holds authority concerning his own will, and has opined this by his own heart: to guard his own virginity, he performs virtuously.

Consequently, the one giving himself in marriage also does virtuously, yet he who isn’t giving himself in marriage does better!

A wife is bound by Law for as long a time her husband may live; but if her husband might have lain to rest, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only within Yâ-hwéh.

But she’d be happier if she should remain thus, according to my opinion, yet I think I also have Yâ-hwéh’s spirit.

Chapter 8 On whether continuing to eat the same things ¶ But about the things offered to worshipped images, we discern that all of us possess the knowledge: knowledge makes haughty, but affectionate love edifies.

But if anyone thinks to acknowledge any worshipped thing, he has not even yet recognized the One yet as he ought to acknowledge Him! But if anyone might affectionately love Yâ-hwéh, by Him, this one is acknowledged.

Therefore, about the eating of the things offered to worshipped images, we have discerned that an image worshipped by the world is nothing, and that none, no one; nothing is another mighty one except One. 1.

Nevertheless, this knowledge is not in everyone; and some by being conscious of the worshipped image until now, eat it as something offered to a worshipped image, and their conscience, being weak, is soiled.

But meat does not assist us with Yâ-hwéh: for neither do we have an advantage if we

For if anyone might see you, who has knowledge, reclining to eat within a temple for image-worship, won’t the conscience of the same one being weak be built up so as to eat things offered to worshipped images?

And the weak brother, for the sake of whom the Anointed One died, will perish by your knowledge!

And sinning thus against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye do sin against the Anointed One! Wherefore, if meat may cause my brother to distrust, I should not eat flesh at all for the age, in order that I may not cause my brother to lose trust.

If we did sow spiritual things to you, is it such a great issue if we should reap your fleshly things?

If others partake of the privilege over you, shouldn’t we more so? Nevertheless, we did not use this privilege; instead, we bear all things in order that we should not give any hindrance to the glad tidings of the Deliverer24.

Don’t ye discern that those laboring at the pure Temple eat from the pure Temple and those attending near to the altar share jointly with the altar?

`Ivríyth (Hebrew): Mowshíya` (Deliverer) is mistaken for Mâshíyach (Anointed) frequently due to their similar transliterations through Greek which cannot distinguish between them. The glad tidings are about the Deliverer.

But I used none of these things. Now I didn’t write these things in order that, by my order, it should be done thus: for to me it is more a virtue to die, than that my boasting should neutralize anyone.

For when I announce the glad tidings, my boasting is not in that, for it is laid out for my distress – and hówy (woe) to me should I not announce the glad tidings!

For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if I do this unwillingly, I [still] am entrusted with an administration.

Then what is my reward? In order that, announcing the glad tidings, I should set the glad tidings of the Deliverer to be without expense, for my authority within the glad tidings not to be overapplied.

Moshéh’s Yisrâ’Ë´l an example to avoid imitating ¶ Now I do not wish you to be ignorant, my brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, And all by the hand of Moshéh were immersed within the cloud and within the sea, And all ate the same food of the spirit, And all drank the same drink of the spirit; for they drank from the Rock of the spirit accompanying them, and the Rock was the Deliverer, Nevertheless Yâ-hwéh was not well pleased with the majority of them, for they were strewed within the uninhabited land!

Though they might have thought that image represented Yâ-hwéh and known that it wasn’t Him itself (sound familiar, Catholics?), the next verses make clear Yâ-hwéh considers this worship and offering to the image, and not Him.

But I wish you to discern that, since the Head of every husband is the Anointed One [Yshá`Yâhuw 61: 10], and the head of the woman is the husband, and the Head of the Anointed One is the Power (’Ël), Every man praying or predicating having something on/over his head/Head puts his Head to shame.

And every wife praying or predicating with her head uncovered puts her head to shame, for it is one and the same to her having been shaved!31 [Compare Deuteronomy 21: 10-14] For if a wife will not be covered, let her also be sheared. [Yshá`Yâhuw 7: 20] But

31 Shaving a woman’s head was done to dishonor her when she was captured, to change her authority allegiance to marry her captor. Her long hair represents allegiance to an authority. A wife praying uncovered repudiates her husband’s authority over her, thus it is equivalent.

if it is shameful to a wife to be sheared or shaved, let her be covered! [Yshá`Yâhuw 4: 1] For a man indeed ought to not have the Head covered, being originally the image and honor of ’Elohíym (the mighty Ones) [Genesis 1: 27, YchezqË´’l 13: 18]; but a wife is a husband’s honor.

For man is not from woman, instead woman is from ’Âthâ´m.

For also ’Âthâ´m was not created for the sake of the woman, instead woman for the sake of the man.

Due to this, the woman ought to maintain the authority on her head, due to the watchers32.

Doesn’t even instinct itself instruct you that if a man might have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? [compare YchezqË´’l 44: 20] But if a woman might have long hair, it is an honor to her, because the long hair is given to her in the place of a covering!

The Memorial is to be done on the yearly anniversary of this event: the eve of the 14th day of the 1st lunar month, Phâ´çech, not on the 15th.

35 “These are the feasts of Yâ-hwéh, the pure convocations which you must proclaim them AT THEIR APPOINTED TIMES:” 36 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at the evening [on the 15th] you must eat Matstsówth (unfermented bread) until the twenty-first day of the month at the evening. For seven of the days [15-21], yeast shall not be found in your houses because anyone eating fermented bread, even that person must be cut off from the peoples of Yisrâ’Ë´l, whether alien or native-born.

Due to this, many among you are infirm and sick, and quite many are laid to rest.

Yet to each is given the exhibition of the spirit for their advantage.

The Peshitta Aramaic translation has these inverted, saying “Yâ-hwéh is Yâhuwshúa`”, but this is consistent with `Ivríyth (Hebrew) grammar.

39 Manifesting His spirit is ANY of these ways is a gift. It ISN’T being immersed (“baptized”) in His spirit, which is something else which we stay once we believe on the Truth: that YÂHUWSHU`A is YÂ-HWÉH.

These have a higher hurdle to overcome to reject the name of the Lie, by which they have seen “great signs and miracles” before his time.

For to one is indeed given through the spirit an expression of wisdom, but to another an expression of knowledge by the same spirit; And to a different one, persuasion within the same spirit, but to another one gifts of curing by the same spirit, And to another, acts of Force, and to another predicating, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to different one, languages of the nations, yet to another, interpretation of languages.

But the One and the same spirit activates all these things, distributing to each one his own manifestation, just as He wills.

of the body of the One, though being many are one body; thus also is the Anointed One. For also we all were immersed into One body by one spirit, whether “Yehuwthím” or Greeks, whether bondmen or sons of freedom, also all were made to drink into one spirit.

For the body also is not one member, rather, many.

If the foot should say: “Because I am not a hand, I am not from the body.”

Is it not from the body on account of this?

And if the ear should say: “Because I am not an eye, I am not from the body.”

Is it not from the body on account of this?

If the entire body is an eye, where is the hearing done? If the entire body is hearing, where is the smelling done?

But now Yâ-hwéh appointed the members, each of them within the body, to be just as He would wish.

But if all the ones were one member, where is the body?

And now indeed many are members, but are of one body!

And an eye is not able to say to the hand: “I do not have a need of you.” Or again, the head to the feet: “I do not have a need of you.”

Instead, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are much more necessary!

Yet those members of the body which are supposed to be disesteemed, to these we bestow more abundant esteem, yet the 19

unconformed ones40 of us are who possess more abundant well-conformity!

Though the well-conformed ones of us have no need, nevertheless, Yâ-hwéh combined the body, having given more abundant value to the latter ones [unconformed well-conformed ones], In order that there might not be division within the body, rather the members might have the same concern for one another.

So if one member suffers, all the members suffer together with it. If one member is honored, all the members rejoice together with it.

And ye are the body of the Anointed One, and members from a part.

Also, Yâ-hwéh did indeed appoint certain members within the convocation: firstly

The ones not satisfied to fit into the mold of this religious system are those who prefer to conform to Yâ-hwéh.

Are all delegates? Are all predicators?

Do all have gifts of curings? Do all speak languages? Do all interpret?

Be ye yet zealous of the superior gifts, but I do show to you a yet more surpassing way:

Even if I give away in food all of my possessions, or if I give over my body in order that I may be burned, but do not have affectionate love, I am profited nothing!

Affectionate love suffers long, demonstrates kindness; affectionate love is not envious; affectionate love does not boast of itself, is not haughty, It does not act inappropriately, it isn’t selfish, is not incited to rage, doesn’t keep a record of wrongs,

It does not rejoice at the injustice, and rejoices with the Truth!

Now whether there are predictions, they shall be rendered obsolete; whether there are languages, they shall cease [TsphanYâ´hu 3: 941]; whether there is knowledge, it shall be rendered useless [YirmYâ´huw 31: 3334]; For we partially know, and we partially predicate, But when the Perfected One might come, then that which is partial shall be rendered useless.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child;

“For then I shall change the peoples’ languages into one being pure, for all of them to call on the name of Yâ-hwéh and to serve Him shoulder to shoulder!”

For we see Him in enigmas through a mirror right now, but then, face to Face!

Right now I partially know Him, but then I shall know Him just as also I have been known!

For then, just these three things remain: persuasion, hope, and affectionate love; and the greatest of these is affectionate love.

Chapter 14 Importance of speaking with languages deemphasized Pursue affectionate love! And be zealous of the spiritual manifestations, but more so that ye may predicate.

This is because tongues is a sign for unbelievers, and it being spiritual secrets he says for Yâ-hwéh, the fleshly unbeliever won’t understand even though it is in his language!

44 In Deeds of the Delegates chapter 2, about 120 men spoke in languages on the day of the Feast of Weeks, and the fleshly did not understand, but thought they were drunk. One man stood up to interpret what was said, Këph, and 3,000 were added!

Uninspired speaking and unintelligible babbling is worthless Yet now, brothers, if I come towards you speaking with languages, what shall I benefit you, unless I shall speak to you either by disclosure, or in knowledge, or in predication, or in instruction?

Even when lifeless things give a sound, whether a flute or a harp, if they do not give a distinction to the sounds, how shall what is being piped on the flute or being strummed on the harp be recognized?

For even if a trumpet gives an indistinct sound, who shall prepare himself for battle?

Therefore, if I [Páulus] do not know the significance45 of the saying, even I shall be to the one that speaks a barbarian46, but he who speaks would be a barbarian for me!

Thus ye also, since ye are zealous of spiritual manifestations, seek them in order that ye may abound towards the building up of the convocation!

Which is why, he who speaks with a language, let him pray in order that He might interpret;

Also translatable as “discern the Force” 46 An uncivilized foreigner. Páulus says if HE were to NOT know the significance of a deceived charismatic’s misinspired ecstatic high-sounding babbling drivel, these would judge HIM as being an unbelieving uncivilized alien.

For if I pray with a language, my spirit does pray – yet my understanding is unfruitful.

Then what is fruitful? I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with the understanding. I will praise with the spirit, but I will also praise with the understanding.

On top of that, if you might bless with the spirit, he who occupies the place of the ignorant – how shall he say the ’Âmë´n (“certainly!”) at your thanksgiving, since he does not understand what you say?

For you indeed may give thanks beautifully, nevertheless the other one is not edified.

I give thanks to Yâ-hwéh for all of you, even more, speaking with languages, Nevertheless, in convocation, I wish more to speak five words through my

My brothers, do not become immature with your emotions; instead to malice be infants, and become ye full grown with your emotions.

In the Law it has been written: “…Then with ones of foreign speech and by means of other languages He will speak the Word to this people… …but they are not willing to listen…

(Says Yâ-hwéh)” [Yshá`Yâhuw 28: 1112] Consequently those languages exist for a sign: not for those persuaded, instead for the unpersuaded; but predicating is a sign, not for the unpersuaded, rather for those persuaded.

Hypothetical comparison: speaking with languages vs. predicating Therefore, if the whole convocation might come together onto one place, and all should speak with languages, and ignorant ones or unpersuaded ones should enter, won’t they say that ye are raving mad?

But if all predicate, and some unpersuaded one or ignorant one might enter, he is scrutinized by all of you, and he is refuted by all of you, And thus, the concealments of his heart become rendered apparent, and thus, falling upon his face, he will do reverence to Yâ-hwéh, declaring that Yâ-hwéh is really within you!

Therefore how would it be, my brothers, when ye may come together when Yâhwéh is within you? Each one of you who has a song (psalm), has a teaching, has a language, has a disclosure, or has an interpretation, all things would be done towards edification!

But if anyone might speak with a language, it would be two or at the most three, and consecutively, with one interpreting.

But if there might not be an interpreter, let him who speaks with a language be silent in convocation, and speaking to his self and to Yâ-hwéh.

And predicators, let two or three speak, and let the others cross-examine.

But if another sitting by might have a disclosure, let the first be silent.

For He is not the mighty Ones of disorder, instead, of peace, as among all the convocations of the pure ones.

Let your women keep silent within the convocations – for it is not allowed to them to speak, rather to be in subjection, just as also the Law says. [Genesis 3: 1648] But if they wish to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is a shameful thing for women to speak in convocation.

A spirit from the Adversary, (a lord), would appear to possess the speaker and cause him to interrupt convocations, as these subject THEIR predicator.

48 To the woman, He said: “I shall surely increase your pain when bearing your children, in pain you will procreate children, yet your desire is for your husband, and he, he will rule over you.”

Or did the Word of Yâ-hwéh leave from you49?

Or did He arrive for you exclusively50?

If anyone seems to be a predicator or spiritual, let him acknowledge that which I write to you, because they are commands of Yâ-hwéh.

But if any might be ignorant, let him be ignorant.51 Consequently, my brothers, be zealous to predicate, yet do not forbid to speak with languages.

Let all things be done in a well-conformed manner and according to the arrangement.

Páulus is saying having women speak (or speak with languages) in convocation is tantamount to Yâ-hwéh’s Word (Yâhuwshúa`) having left them. This evidence is increasingly common in the shamelessness of these latter days in spite of the clearness of this passage even in establishment translations.

50 Páulus is saying: “Are their women speaking because Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` arrived to them exclusively and poured His spirit on all of them to do this?”

51 Páulus is saying in verses 37-38 that these rules should be expected from those who have the Truth and not from those who do not acknowledge His name. It would be useless that they know how it is done when they don’t even have the name which would permit them to have the correct spirit.

Yâhuwshúa` spent 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth: of the first month, the 15th night & day (the “Yehuwthíy” Phâ´çech), the 16th night & day, and the 17th night & day (weekly Shabbâ´th), and was raised during the night of the Feast of Firstfruits 18 ’Âvíyv.

Yet by Yâ-hwéh’s favor, “’E-hyéh ’ashér ’e-hyéh (I have always been that which I will always be)” [Exodus 3: 14] so His favor which is towards me has not been void, instead, I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, rather the favor of Yâ-hwéh which is together with me.

Logically debunking non-resurrectionism ¶ Yet, if it is proclaimed of the Anointed One that He has been raised from among the dead, how do some among you say that there isn’t a resurrection of the dead?57 And if there is not a resurrection of the dead, not even the Deliverer has been raised – But if the Deliverer has not been raised, then our proclamation is void, and also your persuasion is void!

Today’s “sacred name” movement heavily borrows from the “Yehuwthím” doctrines, mistrusting anything remotely Christian. “Yehuwthím” doctrines also polluted the early convocation, leading them to censor the very name which distinguished them. Apparently the Tsthuwqíym also spread their nonresurrectionist doctrine among the gullible flock early.

Then also those, who are laid to rest within the Anointed One, did perish!

For He put all things in subjection under His feet. [From Psalms 110: 1] But when it may be said that all things have been put in subjection, it is clear that it is outside of the One Who put all things in subjection to Him. And when all things shall have been put in subjection to Him, then also the Son Himself shall be placed under the One Who did put all things in subjection to Him, in order that He might be the mighty Ones of all the things to all.

The word “enemy” is implied, and this word is in the `Ivríyth (Hebrew) text, “Bá`alZvúwv” (as its Aramaic translation is in the Peshitta Aramaic translation). Apparently this is a name of Death; therefore the Grim Reaper is Satan.

No resurrection means nihilism On top of that, what shall they do, those immersed over the Dead mighty Ones59, if the dead ones are not raised at all? Why, even, are they immersed over the Dead mighty Ones?

Why also do we put ourselves in danger every hour?

[If the Dead mighty Ones were not raised], by our pride which I hold in the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`, our Sovereign, I would die off daily!

If merely as a man I fought with beasts at ’Éphesos, what is the profit to me if the dead are not raised?

This “Dead” is capitalized since it is referring to Yâ-hwéh ’Elohíym, a plural noun, explaining why this “Dead” is plural in the Greek. Yâhuwshúa` is ’Elohíym (mighty Ones) Who would yet be dead if the dead were not raised. Thus here is resolved a great controversy among “Christians” over which is a correct `Ivríyth (Hebrew) translation. It is possible that “mighty Ones” was originally in place here, and that it might have been removed by unbelieving scribes.

It is sown a body of the self, it is raised a body of the spirit. If there exists a body of the self, there exists also a body of the spirit.

Thus also it has been written of the first human: “…And ’Âthâ´m became a living nephésh (self):” [Genesis 2: 7] So the last ’Âthâ´m became a life-making spirit.

The convocations of ’Asía bid you peace. ’Aqúila and Prískilla together with the convocation in their house bid you much peace in Yâ-hwéh.

All the brothers bid you peace. Bid ye one another peace with a pure kiss.

Peace, in the handwriting of my own hand, Páulus: If anyone does not brotherly love our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa`, the Anointed One, let him be put out (anathema): Our Sovereign comes in judgment!

The favor of Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` is with you!
