Through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of this cause and matter, reason and ground, case and occasion, I remind, make mention of and cause you to remember and recall how to revive and fire up, rekindle and inflame, ignite and reactivate, stir up and excite, refresh and recover the free and gracious gift and benefit, present and favour of God* that is and exists within and inside you through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the laying and setting, placing and putting of my hands. Affirming and confirming this, God* Himself did not give or grant, supply or furnish, bestow or deliver, commit or permit, extend or present to us a Spirit* of timidity or fearfulness, cowardice or wimpiness, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He has give us One of power and might, force and influence, authority and significance, competence and excellence, and of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, and of self-discipline and sobriety, sound mind and sound judgement, self-control and understanding, wisdom and admonition to do better, advice and improvement. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, do not be ashamed or embarrassed, afraid or lack the courage to stand up for the testimony and witness, evidence, proof and confirmation of our Sovereign Master*, nor for me, His imprisoned captive, prisoner and bound-one, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, suffer affliction and hardship, endure evil and undergo trouble, toil and exertion, difficulty and adversity for the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to God’s* power and might, force and influence, authority and significance, competence and excellence, the One Who has delivered and preserved, saved and rescued all of us from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation, and Who has called and addressed, summoned and invited through a set-apart and cleansed call and address, summons and invitation, not in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to our works and businesses, employments and undertakings, acts and deeds, functions and occupations, matters and accomplishments, tasks and labours, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to His own individual deliberation and resolve, design and plan, counsel and intention, determination and full aim, purpose and presentation, and favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure and the gift of merciful and loving kindness, that which has been given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented to all of us in, by and through Messiah* Yahushua* before and ahead of eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual times and periods, seasons and portions, but nevertheless, having been made known and declared by relating, indicated and signified, imparted knowledge of and demonstrated, showed and given evidence of, revealed and explained, clarified, made plain and manifested now, at this present time through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the appearance and demonstration, advent and magnificence, splendour and manifesting of our Deliverer and Preserver, Protector, Saviour and Rescuer - Messiah* Yahushua* - having destroyed and abolished, invalidated and put an end to, rendered useless and ineffective, idle and inactive, severed and terminated, separated and annulled the death and separation, the sundering of the soul from the Supreme One’s presence indeed, truly and surely, and in contrast has enlightened and illuminated, shed light on and rendered evident, made clear and shone, known and given understanding to, published and precisely displayed life and continued existence, as well as incorruptibility and immortality, perpetuity and purity, sincerity and eternity, imperishability, unceasing and undying life through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration, for and on behalf of which I myself was set down and placed, put and established, appointed and ordained, fixed and provided, designated, assigned and laid as an herald and announcer, marshal, public messenger and proclaimer, and delegate and emissary, teacher and ambassador, messenger and a person sent forth with the orders of the Supreme One, and a teacher and educator, instructor and explainer, mentor and trainer, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of this cause and matter, reason and ground, case and occasion, I also experience and undergo, receive and endure these certain specific things. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, I am not ashamed or embarrassed, afraid or lack the courage to stand up, for the reason that concerning this, I see and perceive, observe and witness, know and experience, recognise and respect, understand and take note of, comprehend and discern, pay attention to and discover, notice and examine, inspect and behold He Whom I have trusted and relied upon, obeyed and placed confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in, and have been persuaded and convinced, assured and conciliated to obey and listen to, comply with and have my confidence and trust, reliance and dependence placed in, He is and exists as powerful and mighty, able and capable, forceful and influenceable, authorised and significant, competent and excellent enough to guard and keep, protect and watch over, observe and preserve, follow and obey, care for and pay attention to, defend and maintain, cherish and cling to, save and hold fast to my deposit and commitment, trust agreement and responsibility for and on behalf of that Certain Specific Day and time period. The sound and correct, well and good, accurate and true, pure and uncorrupted, errorless and rational, intelligent and pertinent, firm and constant, reliable, proper and righteous words and sayings, messages and statements, declarations and thoughts, instructions and teachings, decrees, mandates and matters which you heard and attended to, considered and understood, comprehended and perceived, paid attention to and listened to from my immediate proximity and presence, have and hold, acquire and receive, regard and count, enjoy and inhabit, bear and uphold, guard and protect, cleave and cling to, depend and rely on, support and sustain, grip and embrace, entertain and keep, own and possess them as an outline and sketch, example and pattern, model and concise representation and form, delineation and prototype in, by and with the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence, and brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence that is within and inside Messiah* Yahushua*.

You see and perceive, observe and witness, know and experience, recognise and respect, understand and take note of, comprehend and discern, pay attention to and discover, notice and examine, inspect and behold the following fact: that concerning this, all those, individually and collectively, who are from among those in Asia* turned away from and stopped listening to, refused and rejected, were sent away and removed, repudiated and diverted, turned aside and averted from, defected and removed themselves from me, of whom is and exists Phygelus* and Hermogenes*. May the Sovereign Master* give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present mercy and compassion, pity, sympathy and kindness to the house and home, dwelling, family and abode of Onesiphorus*, because and concerning the fact that he often, frequently and at many times refreshed and revived, relieved, cheered up and encouraged me, and he was not ashamed or embarrassed, afraid or lacked the courage to stand up for my chain, bond and handcuff, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, having come to be and existed, began to be and arose, was made and set out, arrived and was produced, established and occurred, was created and prepared, constituted and appointed, presented, instituted and formed, appeared and originated within and inside Rome*, he diligently and earnestly, eagerly and promptly, hastily and urgently sought after and wished for, wanted and demanded, endeavoured to obtain and strove, looked for and desired to find me, and through enquiry and examination, thought and scrutiny, investigation and perception he found and discovered, observed and recognised, detected and attained knowledge of me. In, by and on that Certain Specific day, may the Sovereign Master* give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present him to find and discover, observe and recognise, detect and attain mercy and compassion, pity, sympathy and kindness through enquiry and examination, thought and scrutiny, investigation and perception from the immediate proximity and presence of Yahuweh*. And you yourself know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and ascertain, learn about and distinguish, judge and think about, comprehend, acknowledge and recognise very well that he served and supported, aided and took care, waited on and ministered as much as and all that he could within and inside Ephesus*.

Understanding Granted

Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, you, my child, offspring and progeny, be empowered and strengthened, enabled and invigorated, made strong and bold, headstrong and imbued in, by and with the favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure and the gift of merciful and loving kindness that is within and inside Messiah* Yahushua*, as well as what you heard and attended to, considered and understood, comprehended and perceived, paid attention to and listened to from my immediate proximity and presence through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of many and numerous, grand, vast and an extensive amount of testifiers and witnesses, affirmers and attesters: entrust and commit, present and place, deposit and give over, apply and employ, deliver, present and set out these certain specific things to trustful and trustworthy, reliant and obedient men and human beings who are worthy to have confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence placed in them, those who shall also be and exist as enough and adequate, sufficient and considerable, fit and suitable, qualified and competent, satisfactory and appropriate to teach, instruct and explain things to others and different ones through discourses and discussions. Suffer affliction and hardship, endure evil and undergo trouble, toil and exertion, difficulty and adversity just as, like and similar to a good and pleasant, excellent and fine, useful and beneficial, nice and salutary, upright and worthy, admirable and commendable, precious and genuine, flawless and lovely, virtuous, beautiful and honourable soldier and legionary of Messiah* Yahushua*. No one, nobody and nothing fighting and waging, performing and servicing, engaging in and striving as a warrior and soldier gets involved in or becomes entangled, entwined or weaved, interlaced or forms a connection with the affairs or businesses, occupations or undertakings, activities or negotiations, concerns or works of the periods and courses of everyday life or manners of living, so that, in order that and with the result that he may please and win over, satisfy and flatter, appease and accommodate, be acceptable to and conciliate the one who collected and enlisted, chose and drafted, recruited and gathered, enrolled and signed that person up to be a soldier. In addition, if or whether a certain person may also wrestle and contend in public games, compete for a prize and take part in a contest, struggle and strive as an athlete, he is not crowned or adorned, decorated with the prize or awarded the victory, wreathed or surrounded with honour except and unless he may wrestle and contend in public games, compete for a prize and take part in a contest, struggle and strive as an athlete properly and appropriately, suitably and rightly, correctly, fairly and legitimately. It is necessary and behoves, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial for the farmer and vineyard keeper, vinedresser, tenant and gardener who labours and toils, works hard and strives, struggles and becomes weary to be the first and chief, principle and most important person to take hold of and receive, accept and welcome, partake of and help themselves from the fruit and produce, result and outcome of the crops. Mindfully perceive and try to understand, gain insight into and apprehend the meaning of, comprehend and acknowledge, heed and ponder, consider and observe what I say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out. Affirming and confirming this, the Sovereign Master* shall give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present you with understanding and knowledge, perception and comprehension, intelligence and reason, recognition and concept, judgement and sense, insight and self-awareness, disposition and thoughtfulness in, by and with all individual and collective things.
The Word Is Unbound
8 - 13
Remember and recall, be mindful of and think about that in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of mine, “Messiah* Yahushua*, raised and lifted up, awakened and restored back to life from out of death and lifelessness, inanimateness and the land of the deceased, from out of David’s* seed, offspring and progeny,”; in, by and for this I have been troubled and afflicted, undergone suffering and endured hardship, evil and affliction, difficulty and adversity up until the point of chains, bonds and handcuffs as if I was like or similar to a villain or criminal, evildoer or malefactor. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of God* has not been bound or tied up, restricted or fastened, enchained or hindered. Through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of this certain specific thing I am consistent and steadfast, enduring and persevering, being patient and cheerfully loyal, sustained and bearing, standing my ground and awaiting in hope, submitting and remaining firm through all individual and collective things: through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of the picked out and selected, chosen, claimed and elected, so that, in order that and in order that they too may obtain and reach, befall and attain, experience and gain, receive and happen upon, meet and take the deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation that is within and inside Messiah* Yahushua* together with eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty. The Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter is trustful and trustworthy, reliant and worthy to have confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence placed in it. For this reason, if or whether we die and perish together, having our souls separated from our bodies, we shall also live and continue to exist together in close association; if or whether we are consistent and steadfast, enduring and persevering, being patient and cheerfully loyal, sustained and bearing, standing our ground and awaiting in hope, submitting and remaining firm, we shall also be kings and rulers, chiefs and monarchs, coregents and commanders who reign with power and authority together in close association; if or whether we shall thoroughly and utterly deny and reject, disown and disregard, abnegate and renounce, repudiate and disavow, that Certain Specific One shall also thoroughly and utterly deny and reject, disown and disregard, abnegate and renounce, repudiate and disavow us; if or whether we do not trust, obey or place any reliance or confidence, certainty or guarantee, assurance or dependence in the Trustworthy One, that Certain Specific One remains and abides, endures and lives on, lasts and persists, stays and continues on, dwells and lodges as trustful and trustworthy, reliant and obedient, being worthy to have confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence placed in Him, for the reason that He is not powerful or mighty, able or capable, forceful or influenceable, authorised or significant, competent or excellent enough to thoroughly or utterly deny or reject, disown or disregard, abnegate or renounce, repudiate or disavow Himself.
Known By Yahuweh
14 - 21
Remind, make mention of and cause the remembrance and recollection of the following things, thoroughly testifying and solemnly affirming, earnestly attesting and emphatically declaring in front of and before, in the presence of and in the sight of God*: Do not battle or quarrel, dispute or engage in petty trifles over trivial words and ridiculous controversies, on account of, on the basis of and because of which there is absolutely nothing useful or good, serviceable or fit, profitable or beneficial, being to no value or advantage, upon and on account of which overturns and ruins, overthrows and destroys, causes a catastrophe on and subverts, leads astray and subjugates, misleads and confuses those hearing and attending to, considering and understanding, comprehending and perceiving, paying attention to and listening. Be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent to place and set, stand and present, furnish and provide, offer and bring, prove and show, approach and appear, exhibit and supply yourself as approved and respected, esteemed and trustworthy, accepted and distinguished, acknowledged and significant, recognised and tested, examined and proved to be genuine, certified and reliable to God*, being upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised, an unashamed and irreproachable worker and labourer, artisan and producer, correctly and skilfully, accurately and carefully, directly and fearlessly, rightly and soundly handling and teaching, expounding and preaching the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of the truth. To the contrary, avoid and shun the desecrated and profane, godless and pointless, worthless and stupid babble and empty speeches, fruitless discussions and vain chatter, for the reason that they progress and advance, move forward and increase, prosper and succeed, grow and promote, further and thrive onto more and greater, larger and severer, heavier and deeper, more profound and lengthier, longer and more forceful abandoned and irreverent, undesirable and destitute, impious and disloyal, profane and ungodly things, and their word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter shall have and hold, acquire and receive, regard and count, enjoy and inhabit, bear and uphold, guard and protect, cleave and cling to, depend and rely on, support and sustain, grip and embrace, entertain and keep, own and possess pasture and fodder, food and growth, eating and spreading, growth and increase, distribution and extension as, like and similar to gangrene and cancer; of such is and exists Hymenaeus* and Philetus*, those who have missed the aim and mark, target and have erred, deviated and missed the goal and point, purpose and mission by focusing on the wrong thing and proper objective, going astray and departing from the real principle, abandoning the truth and swerving from what is genuine about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Trustworthy One, saying and teaching, maintaining and affirming, directing and exhorting, advising and pointing out, “The resurrection and raising up, standing and restoration of the dead has now and already come to be and existed, began to be and arisen, been made and set out, arrived and been produced, established and occurred, created and prepared, constituted and appointed, presented, instituted and formed, appeared and originated,” and they are overturning and overthrowing, ruining and destroying, subverting and upsetting, disheartening and voiding the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Trustworthy One of some certain specific ones. Nevertheless, yet and notwithstanding, the solid and firm, strong and immovable, steadfast and hard, true and substantial basis and foundation of God* has been stood upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised, having and holding, acquiring and receiving, regarding and counting, enjoying and inhabiting, bearing and upholding, guarding and protecting, cleaving and clinging to, depending and relying on, supporting and sustaining, gripping and embracing, entertaining and keeping, owning and possessing this certain specific seal and mark, identifying authentication and recognition, certification and attestation, confirmation and evidence, proof and impressed guarantee, warrant, validation and genuine pledge: “Yahuweh* knew and understood, perceived and realised, noticed and discerned, discovered and observed, experienced and ascertained, learned about and distinguished, judged and thought about, comprehended, acknowledged and recognised those who are and exist as His” *; and, “Let all those, individually and collectively, who are invoking and pronouncing, mentioning and designating, entitling and calling upon, specifying and expressing, addressing and uttering the personal and proper name and title, character and person, reputation and authority of Yahuweh* stand away from and withdraw, remove themselves and depart, desert and go away from, resign from and leave, become separate from and forsake, revolt and cease, keep away from and be absent, fall away from and be deposed, hinder and break up, dismiss and shun, give up and avoid, shrink and recoil from, relinquish and abandon what is unjust and unrighteous, wicked and wrong, evil and fraudulent, false and unreliable, untrustworthy, undependable and deceitful.” * Now, within and inside a great and large, massive and huge, important and prominent, intense, extraordinary and outstanding house and home, dwelling and abode there are not and does not exist only or merely pots and vessels, jars and jugs of gold and silver, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, there are vessels of wood and clay also, and some are indeed, truly and surely for and behalf of that which is priceless and valuable, worthy and honourable, recognised as good and esteemed, dignified and respectful, but nevertheless there are some that are for and on behalf of that which is dishonourable and disgraceful, shameful and ignominy, confusing and disappointing, common and ordinary, vile and disparaging, foolish and improper. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, if or whether some certain person may clean out and thoroughly cleanse, purge and root out, clear and separate himself from these certain specific things, that person shall be and exist as a pot and vessel, jar and jug for and on behalf of what is priceless and valuable, worthy and honourable, recognised as good and esteemed, dignified and respectful, having been made set-apart and cleansed, sanctified and dedicated, accepted and acknowledged, being useful and profitable, beneficial and valuable, serviceable and helpful to the Master and Owner, Possessor and Sovereign, having been prepared and arranged, provided and appointed, furnished and made ready for and on behalf of every individual and collective good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, function and occupation, matter and accomplishment, task and labour.
Pursue Righteousness
22 - 26
As a result, flee and take flight, vanish and quickly disappear, run and slip away from the youthful, adolescent and juvenile desires and cravings, lusts and longing, coveting, impulses and passions for what is forbidden, becoming separated from them. On the other hand, pursue and press hard after, follow and try to obtain, go after and desire, earnestly endeavour to acquire and eagerly seek after, promote and attach yourself to, zealously run after and chase, urge and impel righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance to the Supreme One’s standards and of being in a proper relationship with Him; trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Trustworthy One; brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence; peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation, together with those who are calling upon and invoking, addressing and appealing to, summoning and praying to the Sovereign Master* from out of a clean and pure, undefiled and spotless, unpolluted and real, genuine, sound and honest heart, the circulation of life that controls the desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses that is without blemish and is free from corrupt desire and falseness, sin and guilt. Furthermore, do not associate with and so reject, avoid and refuse to accept, do not pay attention to and so decline, avert and depreciate, spurn and shun, disdain and repudiate foolish and moronic, folly and nonsense, absurd and senseless, ignorant and stupid, ineffective and unintelligent, and unlearned and untaught, trifling and inept, uneducated and rude, boorish and clumsy coarse and uninformed questions and speculations, discussions and controversies, investigations and disputes, arguments, enquiries and debates, having seen and perceived, observed and witnessed, known and experienced, recognised and respected, understood and taken note of, comprehended and discerned, paid attention to and discovered, noticed and examined, inspected and beheld the fact that concerning this, they bear and beget, bring forth and generate, deliver and produce, give occasion to and arise, cause and bring into existence, create and engender fights and combats, battles and quarrels, disputes and strife’s, struggles and contentions, brawls and conflicts. In contrast to this, it is not necessary or behoved, right or proper, inevitable or binding, fitting or destined, ordained or prescribed, suitable or beneficial for a servant, slave and attendant of Yahuweh* to battle or fight, quarrel or dispute, contend or gainsay, combat or struggle, brawl or engage in strife’s and conflicts, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, it is proper to be and exist as placid and gentle, mild and easy, compliant and kind, less intense and soothing, assuaging and soft towards every individual and collective person; able, apt and skilful in teaching and training, educating and mentoring, explaining and instructing people; patient and forbearing, tolerant and long-suffering, unresentful and able to enduring difficulties without becoming out of control; training and educating, disciplining and correcting, bringing up and counselling, admonishing and advising, encouraging and reproving those who are opposing and being adverse, ill-disposed and expressing an opposite opinion, retaliating and offering an unaffected attitude in, by and with gentleness and modesty, courtesy and meekness, friendliness and considerateness. Perhaps then God* Himself may give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present to them a changed mind and different thinking, amended life and attitude, reconsideration and feeling of compunction, abhorrence of past sins and repentance for and on behalf of the precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight of truth that is real and disclosed, expressed and certain, upright and dependable, genuine and reliable, factual, sincere and honest, and they may become sober and awaken, come to their senses and no longer think wrong thoughts, coming back from out of the snare and trap, noose and net, pitfall and enticement, temptation and deceitful trick of the devil*, the false accuser, calumniator and slanderer, having been captured and caught, entrapped and taken alive, ensnared and seduced, attracted and hooked by, under and subject to his power and control, becoming submissive and acquiescent to his authority, command and rule for and on behalf of that certain specific things will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, disposition and pleasure, active volition and counsel, decree and law, precept and inclination.

So turn away from and avoid, shun and deter, be dissuaded from and desist, shrink from and be averted from things and persons such as these certain specific ones.

Affirming and confirming this, from out of and among these certain specific things and persons are and exist those going and entering, sinking and creeping, hiding in and insinuating themselves, worming and secretly slipping, pressing on and sneaking into the house and homes, dwelling and abodes, and taking and carrying away, gaining control over and leading idle and frivolous, silly and foolish women away as captives and prisoners, those who have been heaped and piled, laid and gathered, laden and burdened, overwhelmed and involved with, filled up and loaded with sins and errors, misses of the mark and mistakes, violations of the Torah of the Supreme One and wanderings from the Way and from the state of Uprightness, being led and guided, brought and taken, attached to and conducted, directed and moved, impelled and induced, incited and ravaged, drawn away and weighed down with various and diverse, intricate and complex, difficult and abstruse, manifold and unstable evil desires and cravings, lusts and longing, coveting, impulses and passions for what is forbidden, learning and being taught, instructed and explained the meaning of, being increased in knowledge and being informed, coming to understand and discovering, finding out and ascertaining, being trained in and comprehending always and at all times, yet still not and never being powerful or mighty, able or capable, forceful or influenceable, authorised or significant, competent or excellent enough to come and show themselves, arise and appear, become established and arrive into a precise and correct knowledge, perception and discernment, intellectual understanding, acknowledgement and insight of truth that is real and disclosed, expressed and certain, upright and dependable, genuine and reliable, factual, sincere and honest. Therefore, in a manner and fashion, way and style, mode and habit, custom and character which Yaniys* and Yambriys* stood upright and sustained, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and firm, maintained and authorised against Moshe*, trying to resist and oppose, withstand and refute, match with and compare themselves with him, therefore in this manner and way, thus and so, these certain specific things and person stand upright and sustained, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and firm, maintained and authorised against the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of the truth, resisting and opposing, withstanding and trying to refute, match with and compare themselves with it; men and human beings completely corrupted and destroyed, spoiled and laid waste, depraved and ruined in understanding and knowledge, judgement and reason, thinking ability and opinion, feeling and desire, mind and insight, perception and apprehension, inclination and composure, intellect and consciousness, counsel and purpose, awareness and disposition, resolve and determination, consideration and prudence, intension and attitude, not standing the test and being disqualified, disapproved and rejected, cast away and considered worthless, unfit and fake, undiscerning and undistinguished, untrustworthy and unreliable, false and unapproved, unqualified and unsatisfactory, not genuine and insignificant, spurious and reprobate, unworthy and irrational, ignorant and abhorred, reprobated and abominable about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Trustworthy One. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, they shall not progress or advance, move forward or increase, prosper or succeed, grow or promote, further or thrive on much longer or further, to a greater measure or too long. Affirming and confirming this, their madness and irrationality, unreasonableness and senselessness, folly and lack of understanding, foolishness and absurdity shall be and exist as quite plain and conspicuous, very evident and easy to see, considerable and manifest to everyone, individually and collectively, just as, like and similar to the folly of those certain specific persons also came to be and existed, began to be and arose, was made and finished, arrived and was produced, established and occurred, was created and prepared, constituted and appointed, presented, instituted and formed, appeared and originated.

Chapter 4
Announce The Word
1 - 5
I thoroughly testify and solemnly affirm, earnestly attest and emphatically declare in front of and before, in the presence of and in the sight of God*, and of Messiah* Yahushua*, the One being about to and inevitable to, determined and intended to, certain and expected to, destined and going to separate and sunder, make a distinction and dispute, debate and take issue, discriminate and determine the destination of, bring contention and differentiation, make a decision and evaluate, assess and judge the living, those who continue to exist, as well as the dead and lifeless, inanimate and deceased, and His appearance and demonstration, advent and magnificence, splendour and manifesting, as well as His kingdom and royal power, dominion and rule, kingship, reign and authority: with the goal to persuade and warn, announce and declare, publically pronounce and publish, openly preach and teach the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter; be placed and set, established and presented, appointed and stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised in season or out of season, whether it is convenient or whether it is not convenient; refute and admonish, rebuke and reprove, expose and correct, reprehend and chide, chasten and convict, bring to light and show and convince people who are at fault and in the wrong; strictly rebuke and admonish, rate and chide, reprove and censure, warn, evaluate and charge; exhort and instruct, teach and encourage, console and admonish, beseech and entreat, invite and invoke, implore and beg, earnestly ask and call on, command and appeal to, summon and urge others; do this in, by and with every individual and collective kind and manner of patience and endurance, forbearance and perseverance, steadfastness and restraint, and teaching and tutoring, explaining and instructing through discourses and discussion. For this reason, there shall be and exist a time, age and season when they shall not accept the validity of and listen to, patiently endure and put up with, bear with and sustain, hold up and receive, admit and uphold, lift up and exalt, remain constant to and keep, maintain and tolerate the sound and correct, well and good, accurate and true, pure and uncorrupted, errorless and rational, intelligent and pertinent, firm and constant, reliable, proper and righteous teaching and mandate, lesson and information, training and elucidation, precept and instruction, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, being tickled and feeling an itch, craving and wanting to be titillated in their ears, listening and hearing, they shall heap up and accumulate, pile up and surround, collect en masse and gather around themselves teachers and educators, instructors and explainers, mentors and trainers in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to their own individual evil desires and cravings, lusts and longing, coveting, impulses and passions for what is forbidden, and indeed, truly and surely, they shall turn away from and stop listening to, refuse and reject, be sent away and remove, repudiate and divert, turn aside and avert from, defect and remove themselves from the hearing and listening of the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of the truth, and so they shall be turned away and deflected, directed aside and twisted, diverted and veered onto the myths and fables, fictional narrations and legends, falsehoods and purposes, designs and plans, untrue proverbs and tales, stories and made-up ideals, accounts and statements, reports and unauthenticated plots. On the other hand, however, you are to be actively and presently well-balanced and temperate, sober and clear headed, watchful and circumspect, self-controlled and calm, collected and moderate in all individual and collective things; be sustained through trouble and affliction, endure suffering and hardship, evil, difficulty and adversity; do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and create, keep and carry out, construct and establish, form and produce, appoint and ordain, celebrate and constitute a person who brings, announces and declares the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration’s work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, function and occupation, matter and accomplishment, task and labour; fully know and completely accomplish, carry through to the end and fulfil, achieve and totally confirm, satisfy and bring to full measure, give perfect assurance to and prove, do everything conceivable and do the uttermost, strengthen and render your service and support, care and ministry, waiting on and attendance, task and office to be genuine and true.
The Race Is Complete
6 - 8
You see, I am now and already being poured out and offered, having my blood spilled and being put to death, and the time, season and age of my departure and release, breaking up and dissolution, leaving and retirement has been placed and set, established and presented, appointed and stood upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised. I have made every effort and struggled, contended and endeavoured with strenuous zeal, earnestly strove and tried extremely hard to claim victory in the good and pleasant, excellent and fine, useful and beneficial, nice and salutary, upright and worthy, admirable and commendable, precious and genuine, flawless and lovely, virtuous, beautiful and honourable struggle and contest, battle and fight, conflict and race; I have completed and perfected, accomplished and executed, carried out and fulfilled, performed and established, achieved and concluded, ended and finished the aim, goal and purpose of the race and course, mission and task, career and purposeful obligation; I have kept and guarded, held on to and retained, attended to and maintained, kept an eye on and watched over, preserved and protected the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Trustworthy One. The crown and wreath of righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance to the Supreme One’s standards and of being in a proper relationship with Him that is remaining and left for me is put away and stored up, reserved and laid aside, preserved and set to await, that which the Sovereign Master* shall give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present, surrender and hand over to me in, by and on that Certain Specific Day and time period, the righteous and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair, approved and accepted Judge and Arbiter, Separator and Evaluator; however not just merely to me alone, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He shall also hand over the crown to all those, individually and collectively, who have dearly loved and welcomed, entertained and looked fondly upon, cherished with strong affection and highly esteemed with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, been loyal to and greatly adored His appearance and demonstration, advent and magnificence, splendour and manifesting.
The Final Request
9 - 18
Be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent to favourably come and show yourself, arise and appear, become established and arrive before me quickly and shortly, speedily, without delay and hastily, for the reason that Demas* has forsaken and abandoned, deserted and left me behind, having dearly loved and welcomed, entertained and looked fondly upon, cherished with strong affection and highly esteemed with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, been loyal to and greatly adored this present age and eon, era and time, and he has gone and journeyed, travelled and proceeded on his way into Thessalonika*, Kreskens* into Gaul*, Titus* into Dalmatia*. Lucus* alone is and exists together with me. Having lifted up and taken away, carried off and raised, elevated and received, picked up and obtained Marcus*, lead and guide, bring and take him together with you, for the reason that he is and exists as useful and profitable, beneficial and valuable, serviceable and helpful for and on behalf of service and support, care and ministry, waiting on and attendance. Moreover, I sent and dismissed, dispatched, ordered and commissioned Tychicus* to go to Ephesus. When coming and showing yourself, arising and appearing, becoming established and arriving, bring and produce, bear, present and yield the travelling cloak and heavy outer-garment that I left behind together with Karpus* within and inside Troas*, as well as the books, scrolls and documents, especially and chiefly, mostly, particularly and above all the parchments. Alexandros* the coppersmith and blacksmith, brazier and metal worker demonstrated and manifested, showed and displayed, verified and indicated, proved, declared and exhibited many and numerous, a large and significant amount, a great and a lot of bad and wicked, wrong and troublesome, pernicious and baneful, reproachful and abusive, worthless and unskilled, injurious and destructive, incorrect and harmful, evil and vicious, noisome and intellectually errant, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten things to me. The Sovereign Master* shall give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present, surrender and hand over to him in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to his works and businesses, employments and undertakings, acts and deeds, functions and occupations, matters and accomplishments, tasks and labours. Guard and keep, protect and watch over, observe and preserve, follow and obey, care for and pay attention to, defend and maintain, cherish and cling to, save and hold fast to yourself against him also, for the reason that he very much and exceedingly, extremely and greatly, surely and implicitly stood upright and sustained, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and firm, maintained and authorised against the words and sayings, messages and statements, declarations and thoughts, instructions and teachings, decrees, mandates and matters of ours, trying to resist and oppose, withstand and refute, match with and compare himself with them. In, by and at my first and chief, principle and starting spoken and pleaded defence, supporting answer and explanation, reply and response, rational, justified and reasoned account and verbal statement, absolutely no one, nobody and nothing travelled or journeyed, arrived or came to me, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, everyone, individually and collectively, forsook and abandoned, deserted and left me behind. May it not be claimed or reasoned, thought or supposed, judged or deemed, believed or considered, seemed or be of the opinion, determined or evaluated, purposed or reckoned, accounted or concluded, calculated or imputed, numbered or charged, credited or inferred on them! To the contrary, the Sovereign Master* was placed and set, stood upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised, presented and furnished, provided and offered, brought and proved, showed and approached, appeared, exhibited and supplied to me, and He empowered and strengthened, enabled and invigorated, made strong and bold, headstrong and imbued me with might, so that, in order that and with the result that through the means of, via and by my agency the heralding and proclamation, declaration and public decree, command and order, news and announcement may be fully known and completely accomplished, carried through to the end and fulfilled, achieved and totally confirmed, satisfied and brought to full measure, given perfect assurance to and proved, done everything conceivable and done the uttermost, strengthened and rendered to be genuine and true, and all the individual and collective nations and races may hear and attend to, consider and understand, comprehend and perceive, pay attention to and listen to it. I was even saved and delivered, rescued and guarded, set free and shielded, maintained and supported, protected and liberated, freed and redeemed, drawn and snatched away from out of a mouth and jaw of a lion, an adversary and persecutor. The Sovereign Master* shall save and deliver, rescue and guard, set free and shield, maintain and support, protect and liberate, free and redeem, draw and snatch me away from every individual and collective evil and troublesome, sorrowful and poor, pitiable and unfit, unattractive and useless, worthless and morally reprehensible, morally corrupt and wicked, annoying and unethical, diseased and blind, perilous and criminal, vicious and malignant, harmful and incompetent, bad and wretched, pernicious and noxious work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, function and occupation, matter and accomplishment, task and labour, and He shall deliver and preserve, save and rescue me from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation, being brought into His heavenly and celestial kingdom and royal power, dominion and rule, kingship, reign and authority. To Him be the glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty to and for eternity and forever, the unbroken age and the perpetuity of time. Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth.
Final Greetings
19 - 22
Greet and salute, embrace and welcome, pay respect to and wish well to Priscilla* and Aquila*, as well as the house and home, family, dwelling and abode of Onesiphorus. Erastus* remained and abided, endured and lived on, lasted and persisted, stayed and continued on within and inside Corinth*. However, as Trophimus* is sickly and weak, powerless and ill, feeble and infirm, I left him behind within and inside Miletus*. Be active and zealous, quick and assiduous, earnest and diligent to favourably come and show yourself, arise and appear, become established and arrive before and ahead of winter, the cold winter months. Greeting and saluting, embracing and welcoming, paying respect to and wishing you well are Eubulus*, and Pudens*, and Linus*, and Claudia*, as well as all the individual and collective brothers and fellow brethren.
