Paul*, and Silvanus*, and Timotheos*, to the called out Ekklesia*, assembly and congregation of the Thessalonians* that is in, by and with God* the Father*, and the Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*: Favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure and the gift of merciful and loving kindness to you, and peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation. We always and at all times give thanks and extolment, celebration and praise to God* about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all of you, individually and collectively, incessantly and permanently, continuously and constantly, uninterruptedly and unstoppably making and executing, producing and performing, constructing and forming, keeping and establishing, accomplishing and bringing about remembrance, recollection and mention of you within our prayers and requests, petitions and pleas, remembering and having in mind, thinking about and recalling in the presence of and in front of, in the sight of and before our God* and Father* your work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, task and labour of trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence, and the labour and work, trouble, toil and effort of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, and the consistency and steadfast endurance, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience of the hope and expectation, confidence and trust of the Anointed Messiah*, Yahushua*, our Sovereign Master*, seeing and perceiving, observing and witnessing, knowing and experiencing, recognising and respecting, understanding and taking note of, comprehending and discerning, paying attention to and discovering, noticing and examining, inspecting and beholding your selection and election, picking out and choosing, your relationship with the Supreme One based on choice, brothers and fellow brethren, those who have been dearly loved and welcomed, entertained, looked fondly upon and cherished with strong affection and highly esteemed with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, been loyal to and greatly adored by God*, for concerning this, our good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration did not come to be or exist, arise, appear or originate to you in, by or with only word or saying, message or statement, declaration or thought, instruction or teaching, decree, mandate or matter alone, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, it also came in, by and with power and might, ability and capability, force and influence, authority and significance, and in, by and with the Set-Apart and Cleansed Spirit*, and a great, large and numerous quantity of full assurance and absolute certainty, complete conviction and confidence, just as and exactly as 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 of what sort, kind and manner of men we came to be and exist, arise, appear and originate within and among 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 you. You also came to be and exist, arise, appear and originate as imitators of us, mimicking and following our example and that of the Sovereign Master*, welcoming and embracing, favourably receiving and accepting the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter in, by and with much and great, large and numerous amounts of oppression and affliction, tribulation and distress, trouble and crushing, harassment and calamity, pressure and persecution, together with the joy and gladness, happiness, rejoicing and delight of the Set-Apart and Cleansed Spirit*. So that and therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, you came to be and existed, arose, appeared and originated as a figure and form, image and substance, pattern and model, character and impression, shape and mould, outline and type, kind and style, design and content, representation and example to all those, individually and collectively, who are within and inside Macedonia* and within and inside Achaia* that trust and rely, obey and place confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One. For this reason, from you the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of the Sovereign Master* has been sounded out and emitted, rung out and proclaimed, uttered and cause to be heard everywhere, not only within and inside Macedonia and within and inside Achaia alone, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, within and inside every individual and collective place and territory, district and land, region and area that your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence towards God* has come and departed, gone and proceeded to go out to, so that and therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, you have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess no need, want or necessity for us to speak, chatter or utter anything. For this reason, they themselves publically tell and inform, proclaim and declare, confess and profess, report and announce about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to us of what sort, kind and manner of acceptance and welcome, access and entrance, privilege and reception we had and held, acquired and received, owned and possessed with and concerning you, and how, in this manner and way, you returned and brought yourselves back, turned yourselves around, recovered and gave yourselves back to God*, separating yourselves from the idols, those statues in the form and copy, figure and image of men, animals and other imagined things, to be slaves, servants and attendants to the living, active and lively, and true and certain, upright and dependable, genuine and reliable, righteous and real, sincere and honest, veracious and valid God*, and to remain and stay, hold out and stand your ground, endure and suffer, persevere and continue on, bravely bear and calmly survive, stand steadfast and await His Son* coming from out of heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, the One Whom he raised and lifted up, awakened and restored from out of the dead and lifelessness, inanimateness and is no longer deceased, Yahushua*, He Who saves and delivers, rescues, draws and snatches us from out of the danger of the wrath and anger, temper and punishment, violent emotion, impulsive rage and indignation that is coming, arising and appearing in view of the public.

Paul’s Ministry
1 - 12
For this reason, you yourselves 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, brothers and fellow brethren, that concerning this, our coming, access and entrance to you for your advantage has not come to be or exist, arisen or appeared to be untrue or a lie, empty or foolish, useless, valueless or purposeless, meritless or senseless, trivial or vain, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, having already and previously experienced and undergone, received and endured suffering and abuse, insults and outrage, humiliating punishment and insolence, shameful treatment and injury, harm and damage, wicked violence and spite within and inside Philippi*, just as and exactly as you have 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, we still had courage and fearless confidence, boldness and assurance, open speaking, frankness and public outspokenness in, by and with our God* to speak, chat and utter the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of God* to you for your advantage within and inside great and large, intense, extraordinary and overwhelming struggling and vehement conflict, fighting, danger and trial. For this reason, our exhortation and encouragement, admonition and consolation, comfort and solace, appeal and summons, address and entreaty is not from out of error or delusion, deceit or deception, corruption or fraudulence, sin or perversion, wickedness, vacillation or seduction, neither is it from out of uncleanness or moral impurity, immorality or vileness, lustfulness or the lack of legal and moral restraints, wild extravagance or profligate living that is completely given up to disintegration due to wasteful expenditures and unbridled lust, nor is it in, by or with deceit or craftiness, cunning or guile, trickery or treachery, underhanded methods, deception or falseness, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, just as and exactly as we have had our genuineness and excellence, trustworthiness and importance tested and examined, proved and scrutinised, distinguished and discerned by, under and subject to the power and control of God*, showing us to be worthy of having the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration entrusted and relied upon, credited and confided, certified and guaranteed, assured, depended and placed with us, so we speak, chat and utter in this manner and way, thus and so, not as, like or similar to pleasing or wining over, satisfying or flattering, appeasing or accommodating men or other human beings, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, to please God*, He who tested and examined, proved and scrutinised, distinguished and discerned the genuineness and excellence, trustworthiness and importance of our hearts, our circulation of life that controls our desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses. Affirming and confirming this, then, at that time, neither did we come to be or exist, arise, appear or originate in, by or with a flattering or adulating, fawning or vanity praising word or saying, or and statement, declaration or thought, instruction or teaching, decree, mandate or matter, just as and exactly as you have 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, nor in, by or with a front or pretext, cover-up or excuse, show or ostensible reason for greed and avarice, covetousness and insatiableness for more than what is needed and what is due, materialism and lustfulness - God* is our witness and affirmer, sharer and testifier, declarer and reporter, confirmer and approver of this - neither seeking after or wishing for, wanting or demanding, endeavouring to obtain or striving for, looking for or desiring to find glory or splendour, magnificence or excellence, pre-eminence or dignity, brightness, favour or majesty from out of men, nor from you or from anyone or anybody else, even though we had the power and might, strength and ability, capability and force, significance and competence, excellence and influence to be and exist as burdensome, pressuring and forcing our importance, claiming our authority and insisting on our high status as, like and similar to the fact that we are delegates and emissaries, teachers and ambassadors, messengers and persons sent forth with the orders of the Messiah*. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, we came to be and existed, arose, appeared and originated as babes and infants, childlike and gentle within your midst, as, like and similar to how a nursing mother nourishes and nurtures, cherishes, comforts and carefully attends to her own little and small children and offspring. So then and therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, as we intensely longed and desired for, loved and showed strong affection for you, we were well pleased and delighted, took pleasure in and considered it to be good to not only communicate and share, impart and give to you good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of God* alone and by itself, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, to give our souls and life as well, for concerning and because of, on account of and for the reason that you came to be and exist, arise, appear and originate as beloved and esteemed, dearly loved and highly regarded to us. Affirming and confirming this, brothers and fellow brethren, remember and have in mind, think about and recall our labour and work, trouble and wearisome effort, fatigue and exertion, and hardship and distress, struggle and strenuous toil, accomplishing and executing, bringing about and constructing, establishing and working, producing and performing, practising and carrying out, acquiring and enforcing duties night and day to the advantage of not causing a burden or pressing too heavily, loading, troubling or weighing any of you down with financial problems, while we announced and declared, publically pronounced and published, openly preached and taught the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of God* to you, for you and on your behalf. All of you and God* are our witnesses and affirmers, sharers and testifiers, declarers and reporters, confirmers and approvers, as to how sacredly and devoutly, purely and observable of the divine Law of the Supreme One, and righteously and justly, uprightly and virtuously, guiltlessly, fairly and acceptably, and faultlessly and blamelessly our conduct came to be and exist, arise, appear and originate to all of you, those who have trusted and relied, obeyed and placed confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One. Just as, accordingly as and exactly as you all 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 as to how, as, like and similar to the way a father is with his own children and offspring, we exhorted and encouraged, admonished and consoled, comforted and gave solace to each and every one of you, and came close to your side to strengthen and calm, speak kindly and soothingly to you, urge and spur you on, reassure and cheer, tend and refresh, vivify and appease, support and advise you, and seriously declaring and testifying, asserting and imploring, insisting and urging, exhorting and affirming, solemnly attesting and charging you to walk and behave, live, conduct and regulate your lives, works and actions in a manner worthy and deserving, befitting, fitting and suitable of God*, He who is actively calling and addressing, summoning and inviting you into His kingdom and royal power, dominion and rule, kingship, reign and authority, and glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty.*
Desire To See You Again
17 - 20
But nevertheless, brothers and fellow brethren, as we had been orphaned and torn away from, deprived of and unwillingly separated from you for a little while and briefly, for a short time, temporarily and for an insignificant season - in face, countenance and person, not in heart, in our circulation of life that controls our desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses - we, in, by and with much and great, large and plentiful desire and craving, longing, eagerness and yearning, actively and zealously, quickly and assiduously, earnestly and diligently endeavoured and devoted ourselves, were eager and in a hurry to especially and earnestly, greatly, emphatically and far more exceedingly make every effort to 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 your face, countenance and person, for concerning and because of, on account of and for the reason that we wanted and wished, preferred and aimed, intended, willed and desired to come, arise and appear to you all, for your advantage - Indeed, I, Paul, tried again and again, more than once and several times*, but the Adversary and slanderer, Satan*, hindered and blocked, impeded, prevented and thwarted us. For this reason, what is our hope and expectation, confidence and trust, or our joy and gladness, happiness, rejoicing and delight, or our wreath, crown and prize of bragging and boasting, glorifying and exultation in the presence of and in front of, in the sight of and before Yahushua*, our Sovereign Master*, in, by and with His presence and advent, coming and arrival? Is it not even all of you? For this reason, all of you are and exists as our glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, and joy and gladness, happiness, ____________
1 - 13
rejoicing and delight • Therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, as we could not endure or bear, put up with it or hold out any longer, any more or any further, we thought it was good and consented to, considered that it was the best choice and determined, decided and chose to remain and be left behind, abandoned and stay back within and inside Athens* alone and by ourselves, and we sent and dispatched, instructed and appointed, discharged and dismissed, conducted and let Timotheos, our brother and fellow brethren, and our companion, fellow worker and helper of God* in, by and with the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of the Anointed Messiah*, go to you in order to strengthen and ground, persevere and support, fix and confirm, stabilise and set, establish and give you a firm footing, and to exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to you on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, to make sure that no one, nobody and nothing would be shaken or deceived, deluded or disturbed, unsettled or agitated, troubled or moved to and fro, dislodged or beguiled in, by or with these oppressions and afflictions, tribulations and distresses, troubles and crushes, harassments and calamities, pressures and persecutions. For this reason, all of you yourselves 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 that concerning this, we are set and destined, appointed and established, fixed and laid down, placed, ordained and given for and on behalf of this. Also, for the reason that the time when we were and existed with you for your advantage, we prophesised and predicted, announced before and foretold, publically proclaimed and cautioned, warned and told you in advance and ahead of time that concerning this, “We are about and inevitable to, determined and intended to, certain and expected to suffer tribulation and distress, oppression and crushing, affliction and harassment, be mistreat and persecute,” and so it came to be and existed, arose, appeared and originated, just as and exactly as you also 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. So 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, when I could not endure or bear, put up with it or hold out any longer, any more or any further, I also sent and dispatched, instructed and appointed, discharged and dismissed, conducted and let a message go in order that I would know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and ascertain, learn and distinguish, comprehend, acknowledge and recognise something about your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, not knowing that perhaps, somehow or in some way the tempter, the one who wishes to put you to the test and objectively examine, scrutinize and entice you to prove, determine and ascertain His genuineness, behavioural response and character had actually put you to the test and objectively examine, scrutinize and entice you to sin in order to prove, determine and ascertain His genuineness, behavioural response and character, and so our labour and work, trouble and wearisome effort, fatigue and exertion might have come to be or exist, arise, appear or originate to be empty and foolish, useless, valueless and purposeless, meritless and senseless, trivial and vain, worthless and fruitless, futile, for no reason and without any effect or result. But nevertheless, now, at this present time, as Timotheos has come, arrived and appear to us from you for our advantage, and having told us the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence, and your brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, and that concerning this, you always and at times have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess 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 recollection and remembrance, mention and thoughts of us, earnestly longing for and demanding, deeply desiring, yearning and lovingly pursuing the means to 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 us, just as and exactly as we also long to see you. Brothers and fellow brethren, 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, upon and throughout all our individual and collective constraints and compelling obligations, compulsions and inevitable pains, and oppressions and afflictions, tribulations and distresses, troubles and crushes, harassments and calamities, pressures and persecutions, we were exhorted and encouraged, admonished and consoled, comforted and given solace about and because of, on account of and on the basis of 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 your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, for concerning this, now, at this present time, we truly live and continued to exist, as long as and if you stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised in obedience in, by and with Yahuweh*. For this reason, what thanksgiving and extolment, celebration and praise are we powerful and mighty, able and capable, forceful and influenceable, authorised and significant, competent and excellent enough repay and render, return and pay back to God* about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all of you upon the basis of and because of all the individual and collective joy and gladness, happiness, rejoicing and delight in which we rejoice and are glad, delighted and pleased in the presence of and in front of, in the sight of and before our God* through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of you, asking and begging, beseeching and pleading, desiring and requesting, petitioning, requiring and imploring with extreme and immeasurable earnestness night and day for and on behalf of receiving the chance to 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 all your faces, countenances and persons, and to perfect and complete, order and arrange, establish and restore, equip and prepare, set right, repair and mend what is lacking and destitute, shortcoming and deficient in your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One? But nevertheless, may our God* and Father* Himself, and our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua*, make straight and guide, direct and lead, set right and remove any hindrances from our way and route, road, path and journey to you all for your advantage. And may the Sovereign Master* cause you to increase and abound greater, multiply and grow, overflow and preponderate, and exceed and surpass, provide and richly furnish, excel and intensify in your brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence for and on behalf of one another, and for and on behalf of everyone, individually and collectively, just as and exactly as we also have for and on behalf of you all, for and in order to strengthen and ground, persevere and support, fix and confirm, stabilise and set, establish and give your hearts, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses a firm footing, to be blameless, faultless and guiltless in, by and with moral purity and majesty, sanctification and set-apartness in the presence of and in front of, in the sight of and before our God* and Father* at, by and with the presence and advent, coming and arrival of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua*, together with all His individual and collective set-apart and cleansed ones. Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth.
Chapter 4
Live To Please God
1 - 12
Finally then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these being so, what remains to be said, brothers and fellow brethren, is we ask and request, entreat and question, beseech and enquire, and encourage you in, by and with the Sovereign Master*, Yahushua*, with the result that just as and exactly as you accepted and acknowledged, associated with and took, received, inherited and ascertained from us and from our presence how and in what manner and way it is necessary and behoves, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial for you to walk and behave, live, conduct and regulate your lives, works and actions, and to please and win over, satisfy and flatter, appease and accommodate God*, just as and exactly as you are already walking and behaving, living, conducting and regulating your lives, works and actions, so that and in order that you all might abound and overflow, exceed and surpass, be provided and richly furnished, excel and intensified even more to a greater and much higher degree. For this reason, 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 what proclamations and orders, commands and charges, instructions and directions, statues and laws, precepts and rules we gave and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented to you all 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 Sovereign Master*, Yahushua*. For this reason, this is and exist as the will and purpose, desire and choice, mind and wish, purposeful intent and decision, gracious disposition and good pleasure, decree and law, precept and inclination of God* - for your separation and cleanliness, purification, sanctification and set-apartness - that you all are to flee away and abstain, desist and avoid, be distant and absent, averted and separate yourselves from fornication and adultery, sexual immorality, illicit sexual relations out of wedlock and bestiality, that each one of you sees and perceives, observes and witnesses, knows and experiences, recognises and respects, understands and takes note of, comprehends and discerns, pays attention to and discovers, notices and examines, inspects and beholds how to get and acquire, obtain, gain and possess control over his or her own vessel and person, body and container in, by and with separation and cleanliness, purification, sanctification and set-apartness, and honour and esteem, value, recognition and respect, not in, by or with uncontrolled sexual passion, lustful desire or evil craving, strong impulse or longing, inordinate passion or appetite, desire, craving or lust for things which are forbidden, just as or exactly as the gentile nations and races who have not seen or perceived, observed or witnessed, known or experienced, recognised or respected, understood or taken note of, comprehended or discerned, paid attention to or discovered, noticed or examined, inspected or beheld God* also do; that no one steps over the boundary or goes beyond the prescribed limit, breaks or transgresses, cheats or defrauds his or her brother and fellow brethren, nor covets or takes advantage of, exploits or robs that person in, by or with such an affair or event, circumstance or cause, deed or matter, practice or undertaking, task or act, for concerning and because of, on account of and for the reason that Yahuweh* takes vengeance and retribution, punishment and distributes justice about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all these individual and collective things, just as and exactly as we also prophesised and predicted, announced before and foretold, publically proclaimed and cautioned, warned and told you all in advance and ahead of time, and to which we thoroughly testify and solemnly affirm, earnestly attest and emphatically declare. For the reason that God* Himself has not called or designated, summoned or invited us upon the basis of, on account of or because of uncleanness or moral impurity, immorality or vileness, lustfulness or the lack of legal and moral restraints, wild extravagance or profligate living that is completely given up to disintegration due to wasteful expenditures and unbridled lust, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He has called us in, by and with separation and cleanliness, purification, sanctification and set-apartness. Therefore, consequently and for this very reason, whoever sets aside or disregards, violates or ignores, annuls or invalidates, breaks or revokes, denies or despises, abrogates or abolishes, makes void or gets rid of, insults or offends, condemns, rejects or refuses to recognise or accept the validity of this does not set aside or disregard, violate or ignore, annul or invalidate, break or revoke, deny or despise, abrogate or abolish, make void or get rid of, insult or offend, condemn, reject or refuse to recognise or accept the validity of man and other human beings, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, they refuse to accept the validity of God*, He Who also has given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented His Set-Apart and cleansed Spirit* to you all for and on your behalf. Now, about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, you have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess no need, want or necessity for anyone to write or inscribe, record or compose anything about to you, for the reason that you yourselves are and exist as taught by and divinely instructed by God to dearly love and welcome, entertain, look fondly upon and cherish one another with strong affection and highly esteem each other with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, be loyal to and greatly adore one another, indeed, for this reason you do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake, keep and carry out, construct and establish the same to and for all the individual and collective brothers and fellow brethren that are within and inside the whole of and the entirety of Macedonia. Moreover, we exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to you all, brothers and fellow brethren, to abound and overflow, exceed and surpass, be provided and richly furnished, excel and intensified more to a greater and much higher degree, and to earnestly strive and make it your aim to, endeavour and be ambitious to, aspire and seek to live quietly and keep calm, be at rest and be orderly, and to practise your own individual affairs and events, circumstances and causes, deeds and matters, undertakings and obligations, tasks and acts, and to accomplish and execute, bring about and construct, establish and work, produce and perform, practise and carry out, acquire and enforce your trade with your own individual hands, just as and exactly as we enjoined and ordered, charged and commanded, declared and announced, recommended and exhorted, summoned and instructed, directed and encouraged you all, so that and in order that you may walk and behave, live, conduct and regulate your lives, works and actions properly and decently, honourable and honestly, fittingly and becomingly, seemly and respectably, correctly and appropriately to the advantage of the views of those who are outside, and so you may have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess no need, want or necessity of anything.
The Day Of Trumpets
13 - 18
But nevertheless, we do not want or wish, prefer or aim, intend, will or desire for you all to not know or recognise, understand or err, be ignorant or lack information, be clueless or unaware, brothers and fellow brethren, about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to those who are sleeping, those who have died, so that and in order that you may not grieve or be pained, distressed or vexed, harassed or overcome with sorrow, just as and exactly as the rest of those who remain and are left behind do, those who also do not have or hold, acquire or receive, own or posses hope or expectation, confidence or trust in a future prospect of salvation. For this reason, if we trust and rely, obey and place confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the fact that concerning this, Yahushua* died and perished, having His soul separated from His body, and was caused to raised and lifted up, awakened and restored again, therefore in this manner and way, thus and so, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Yahushua*, God* Himself will lead and guide, bring and take, impel and direct, accompany and carry those who have died and have gone to sleep together with Him. For this reason, we say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out this time in, by and with a word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of Yahuweh*, that concerning this, we, the living and those who continue to exist, those who remain, survive and are left behind for and on behalf of the presence and advent, coming and arrival of the Sovereign Master*, we will never, ever precede or go prior to, come or go before those who have died and have gone to sleep, for concerning this, the Sovereign Master* Himself will, in a future time, come down and descend from heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, in, by and with a shout of command and signal call, summons, demand and order, in, by and with a sound, tone and voice of a high and chief heavenly messenger and envoy, and in, by and with the trumpet blast and signal of God*, and the dead and lifeless, deceased and inanimate within and inside Messiah* will be caused to rise and be lifted up, awakened and restored first of all and chiefly, principally and most importantly. Then, after this and in the second place, we, the living and those who continue to exist, those who remain, survive and are left behind will be snatched and seized, carried off and captured, caught up and taken together with them at the exact same time within and inside clouds in order to meet, encounter and be face to face with the Sovereign Master* within the air. And therefore in this manner and way, thus and so, we will always and at all time be and exist together with Yahuweh*. So that and therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to one another in, by and with these words and sayings, messages and statements, declarations and __________
1 - 11
thoughts, instructions and teachings, decrees, mandates and matters. • Now, about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to the times and occasions, and the favourable and suitable days, ages and seasons, brothers and fellow brethren, you have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess no need, want or necessity for anything to be written or inscribed, recorded or composed to you, for the reason that you yourselves strictly and thoroughly, carefully and exactly, accurately and diligently 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 that concerning this, in this manner and way, thus and so, the exact and specific Day of Yahuweh* comes, arises and appears as, like and similar to the way a thief who takes away by stealth and surprise does in, by and with the night. At the time when people may say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out, “There is peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity, freedom and felicity, and firmness and safety, security and truth, certainty, reliability and the assurance that we are kept from danger and falling,” then, at that time, sudden, unforeseen and unexpected destruction and complete ruin, perdition, corruption and death comes upon and approaches, stands and sets, establishes and is imposed upon them without any previous warning, just as and like the birth pangs and labour pains a pregnant woman has*, and so they may never, ever escape or run away, flee or avoid them. But nevertheless, you all, brothers and fellow brethren, do not exist and are not within or inside darkness or gloom, obscurity or ignorance, with the result that that specific Day should takes hold of or seize, apprehend or obtain, gain or possess, grasp or win over, attain or receive, overpower or have control over you all as, like and similar to a thief who takes away by stealth and surprise. For this reason, all of you, individually and collectively, are and exists as the sons and children of light and illumination, radiance and the knowledge of enlightenment, and are sons and children of the Day.

But nevertheless, as we are and exist as of the day, let us be well-balanced and temperate, self-controlled, sober and clear headed, having dressed, clothed and put on ourselves the breastplate of trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence, and of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, and the helmet of the hope and expectation, confidence and trust in the future assurance of deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation. For concerning this, God* has not set or placed, stood or established, appointed or ordained, fixed or provided, designated or assigned, put or laid us down for and on behalf of wrath and anger, temper and punishment, violent emotion, impulsive rage and indignation, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, we have been set for and on behalf of the possession and preservation, keeping and saving, acquisition and obtainment of deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of Yahushua*, our Sovereign Master*, He Who had died and perished, having His soul separated from His body on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for us, so that and in order that whether we may be watchful and vigilant, alert and cautious, active, zealous and awake, or may be dead and sleeping, we may live and continue to exist together in association with Him at the exact same time. Therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to one another, and build and establish, strengthen, edify and promote the growth of each and every one, just as and exactly as you also are doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing already.
