Message to Elders and youth, Last Greetings.

     Message to Elders and youth

1 I beseech you the elders which are among you, and the elders that are with you, and the witnesses of the sufferings of Christ, and the fellowship in the shining light,

2 That you should shepherd the flock of God which is in you, but not with weakness, but willingly, according to the will of God, and not according to the will of the heart.

3 And call upon those that are under you, that ye may be the example of the flock

4 Then when the chief shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of glory that does not wither.

5 In the same way, young men, be in subjection to the elders, but be humble toward one another, serving God, for God opposes the haughty, but gives grace to the humble.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time

7 And cast thy burden upon him; for he careth for thee

8 Beware, Awake! Your adversary, the Devil, is like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.

9 Be strong in your faith and face it, knowing that your brothers and sisters in the world are going through the same ordeal.

10 And the Most Gracious God, who called you into Christ for his everlasting glory, will make you perfect, upholding, and strengthening you, after you have suffered a little while.

11 To him be the glory forever and ever.  Amen.

Last greetings

12 And I have written unto you in the letter of Silvanus, my faithful brother, and in the epistle that ye testify that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.

13 In Babylon the chosen one with you and my son Mark greet you.

14 Greet one another with a holy kiss. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus.

Good Servant and Good Example of Jesus Christ.

Great Salvation, Our Savior.

           Great salvation

1 For this reason we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

2 When the word spoken by the angels proved true, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense.

3 How can we be saved if we ignore this great salvation?  Which was first spoken by the Lord and proved to us by the hearers

4 God also testified with them, according to his will, through signs and wonders, and through miracles and miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Our Savior

5 For he hath not subdued the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But who is the man that testifieth, saying, What is man, that thou shouldest remember him?

7 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels: thou hast set a crown of glory and honor upon his head.  You gave him authority over the works of your hands,

8 Thou hast subdued all things under his feet.  For he has put all things in subjection under him, and he has not forsaken them.  But so far we do not see everything under him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made inferior to the angels for a short time, having been crowned with glory and honor for suffering death, that by the grace of God every man might taste of death.

10 For whom and by whom all things were accomplished, it was expedient that the Son of man should be glorified, that he might fill the Son of man with glory.

11 For he that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one.  That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12 But he saith, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and I will praise thee in the synagogues.

13 And then he says I will trust him.  And then, me and the children that God has given me.

14 For as the children are partakers of the flesh and of the flesh, so they themselves are partakers of them.

15 And deliver those who were held captive all their lives for fear of death.

16 For he helpeth not the angels, but the seed of Abraham.

17 That he should be like his brethren in all things, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God.

 18 For when he himself was tempted and suffered, then he can help them that are tempted.
