Accordingly as and just as it is and exists right and just, upright and virtuous, faultless and guiltless, fair and proper, real and genuine, approved and acceptable for me to think and feel, judge and have this opinion on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for all of you, individually and collectively, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because I have and hold, own and keep, retain and possess you in my heart, my circulation of life, in both my chains, bonds and imprisonment and in, by and with the verbal defence and confirmation and verification, establishment and strengthening of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration, and all of you, individually and collectively, are and exist as partners and companions, fellows and friends, associates and relations with me in the favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure and the gift of merciful and loving kindness.

Paul’s Present Situation

12 - 26

Moreover, I want and wish, will and desire for you to know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and comprehend, brothers and fellow brethren, that according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to me, more has come to be, arisen and appeared toward, for and on behalf of the progress and advancement, furtherance and promotion, development and success of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration, so that and therefore, accordingly and with the result that my chains, bonds and imprisonment in Messiah* has come to be evident and visible, public and distinguishable, apparent and recognisable, openly known, manifest and clearly and plainly seen in the whole and entire praetorium*, the palace guards headquarters, and to everyone else individually and collectively that remains here. And many and a great number of the brothers and fellow brethren, becoming confident in Yahuweh* and coming to trust and obey, depend on, follow and rely upon Him because of my chains, bonds and imprisonment, are fearlessly and boldly daring and venturing, having the courage to and becoming brave enough to earnestly and more exceedingly speak and assert the Word and message, statement and declaration, instruction and decree, mandate and matter. But nevertheless, certain people truly and indeed proclaim, herald and announce the Anointed Messiah* through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of envy and jealousy, and contention and strife, quarrels and disputes, but nevertheless, some people also proclaim, herald and announce the Anointed Messiah through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of good will and kindly intent, benevolence and delight, desire and satisfaction, good pleasure and gracious purpose. These ones truly and indeed do so from out of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, knowing and understanding, recognising and respecting, perceiving and observing, comprehending and appreciating concerning that I am set and placed, put and appointed here for and on behalf of the verbal defence of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration. But nevertheless, the others proclaim and announce, declare and publish the Anointed Messiah* openly and publically from out of selfishness and self interested ambition, not purely or sincerely but supposing and expecting, imagining and presuming, thinking and being of the opinion that it will arouse and lift up, raise up, erect and increase oppression and affliction, tribulation and distress in my chains, bonds and imprisonment. For what purpose? Except that concerning this, in every individual and collective way, manner and fashion, if in pretext or pretence put forth in order to cover ones real intent, or in truth or reality, fact or uprightness, sincerity and fidelity, Messiah* is proclaimed and announced, declared and published openly and publically, and yet, in, by and with that I am exceedingly merry and rejoice considerably. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, I will also rejoice exceedingly and I know and understand, recognise and respect, perceive and observe, comprehend and appreciate that the outcome of this will turn out to be for and on behalf of my deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety 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 prayers and requests, petitions and pleas, and the provision and support, aid, assistance and help of the Spirit* of Messiah* Yahushua*, according to, in relation to and with regards to my eager expectation and hope that concerning this, I will be ashamed and disgraced, embarrassed and dishonoured in nothing, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in and with all individual and collective courage and fearless confidence, boldness and assurance, open speaking, frankness, and public outspokenness as always, at all times and on every occasion, as it also is now, at this present time, Messiah* will be made great and celebrated, glorified and praised, magnified and extolled, respected, exalted and highly honoured in, by and with my flesh and body, whether through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of life, or through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of death and lifelessness, the separation of my soul from my body. For to me, to live and breathe is Messiah*, and to lose life is gain, profit and advantage, but nevertheless, if I live and breathe in, by and with the flesh and body, that means fruitful and profitable work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, task and labour, yet which I would choose or elect, prefer, decide on or select I do not know nor have knowledge of, nor has it been declared or revealed to me. Moreover, I am hard pressed and distressed, governed, controlled and divided between the two, having and holding, owning and possessing the desire, craving and longing to depart and die in order to be and exist together with Messiah*, for that is a much better, far greater and more superior option, but nevertheless, to stay on and remain, continue on and persist in and with the flesh and body is more necessary, indispensible and what ought to be done 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. And being convinced and persuaded, confident about and trusting this, I know and understand, recognise and respect, perceive and observe, comprehend and appreciate that concerning this I will stay and remain, continue to be present and will not depart from here, and I will remain beside and continue alongside you all, individually and collectively, for and on behalf of your progress and advancement, furtherance and increased development and joy and gladness, rejoicing and great happiness and delight in the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, so that and in order that in and with me you might have ample and abundant, increased and excelled reason and cause to brag and praise, boast and glorify in Messiah* Yahushua* through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of my coming and arrival, presence and personal advent favourably towards you again, anew and furthermore.

Stand Firm In One Spirit

27 - 30

Only live, behave and conduct each of your lives in a manner worthy and suitable of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration of the Anointed Messiah*, so that and in order that if or whether I come, arrive and appear and see and perceive, inspect, examine and observe all of you, or whether I am absent, I will hear and attend to, listen to and comprehend, understand and perceive, accept and pay attention to news and reports about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all of you that concerning this, all of you are standing firm and steadfast, persevering and persisting in one Spirit*, striving, cooperating and labouring together with one soul, mind and purpose in the trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, dependence and assurance of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration, and not being frightened or terrified, scared or intimidated in, by or with anything under and subject to your opponents and adversaries, which to them is and exists as a sign and demonstration, verification and indication, token and manifestation, display and declaration of their complete and utter destruction and ruin, waste, obliteration and annihilation, but nevertheless, a sign and demonstration, verification and indication, token and manifestation, display and declaration of your deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety. And this is from God*, that concerning this, it has been graciously and freely bestowed, favourably granted and kindly given to all of you that on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and because of Messiah*, not only that you should trust and rely upon, obey and place confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in Him, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, also to experience and undergo, receive and endure suffering on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and because of Him, having and holding, owning and possessing the same contest and struggle, conflict and trial which and what you also saw and perceived, examined and observed in me, and now, at this present time, you still hear and attend to, listen to and comprehend, understand and perceive, accept and pay attention to.

Every Knee Will Bow

1 - 11

So then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, if there is any exhortation or encouragement, admonition or consolation, comfort or solace in, by or with Messiah*; if there is any tender comfort or reassurance, satisfaction or consolation of brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence; if there is any partnership or companionship, fellowship or friendship, communion, association or relationship in the Spirit*, if there is any kindness or benevolence, love or affection, compassion or tender-heartedness and mercy or sympathy, complete and fulfil, accomplish and perfect, finish and ratify, satisfy and conclude my joy and gladness, rejoicing and great happiness and delight so that and in order that you might be of the same mind and opinion, thought and understanding, prudence and disposition, having and holding, owning and possessing the exact same brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence, being together in soul and harmony, being in full accord and sentiment and of one mind and opinion, thought and understanding, prudence and disposition. Do nothing according to, with regards to and in relation to selfishness and self interested ambition or according to, with regards to and in relation to conceit or vainglory, vanity or empty pride, groundless boasting or bragging, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in humility and modesty go before and proceed one another, showing and leading the way to those who surpass and excel yourselves, each and every one of you not looking and contemplating, paying attention to and considering, being concerned about and carefully watching, dwelling on and constantly thinking about, observing and fixing your eyes upon your own interests, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, also the interests of each other. For think and understand this amongst yourselves, that was also in Messiah* Yahushua*, who existed in the form and image, nature and appearance of God* yet did not regard or consider, think or reckon that being and existing as equal to God* was something to be exploited or forced, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, He emptied Himself, taking and receiving, inheriting and accepting, admitting and choosing, selecting and acquiring, obtaining and claiming the form and image, nature and appearance of a slave, servant and attendant, coming to be born in the likeness and form of a man, and being found and discovered by inspection and inquiry to be as and like the shape and form, figure and nature of man, He humbled Himself, ranking Himself below others, coming to be, appearing and arising as obedient continually until death and separation, the parting of the soul from the body, even death and separation on an upright stake*. And therefore, for this reason and for this purpose, God* exalted, lifted and raised Him up to the highest position of honour, superiority and rank and graciously and freely bestowed, favourably granted and kindly gave Him the name and title, character and person, reputation and authority that is above and beyond every individual and collective name and title, character and person, reputation and authority, so that and in order that in, by and with the name and title, character and person, reputation and authority of Yahushua*, every individual and collective knee might bend and bow, in heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, and those that exist on and belong to the earth, and those in the underworld, the realm of the dead, and every individual and collective tongue and language might confess and profess, acknowledge openly and joyfully praise and glorify concerning that Messiah* Yahushua* is Yahuweh* for and on behalf of the glory and magnificence, excellence and pre-eminence, dignity and favour, honour and esteem, majesty and splendour of God* the Father*.

You Are Luminaries In The World

12 - 18

So then and therefore, accordingly and as a result, my beloved and esteemed, dear and favourites, just as you always and at all times have obeyed and listened to, harkened and voluntary submitted yourselves, not only as in my coming and arrival, presence and personal advent, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, much more to a far greater degree now, at this present time in my absence, work out and accomplish, overcome and achieve, perform and bring about your own deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety with reverence and trembling, for God* is and exists as the one who operates and works, acts and functions, is active and effective inside and within you, both to will and desire, take pleasure and delight in, intend and be determined to, want, aim and to work and operate, be active and effective on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for His good will and kindly intent, benevolence and delight, desire and satisfaction, good pleasure and gracious purpose. Do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and carry out all things, individually and collectively, separate from and without grumbling and murmuring, complaining and muttering, and apprehension and evil thoughts, argument, deliberation and doubt, so that and in order that you might be and exist as blameless, faultless and guiltless, and innocent and pure children of God* without spot or blemish amongst and in the midst of a crooked and perverse, twisted and dishonest, unscrupulous, warped and distorted and depraved, corrupt and mislead generation in which you shine and radiate, manifest and gleam as and like lights and luminaries, stars and light-giving bodies in the world, cosmos and universe, holding firmly onto and paying attention to, observing and attending to the Word and message, statement and declaration, instruction and decree, mandate and matter of life, so that I may brag and boast, praise and glorify unto the Day of Messiah* concerning that I didn’t run and rush, hasten, progress and advance without cause and purpose, in vain and groundlessly, neither did I work hard or labour, toil or strive, struggle or grow weary, get tired or become exhausted for the purpose of vanity and groundless causes and purposes. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, if I am also being poured out and offered as a drink offering upon the sacrifice, offering and service and ministry of your trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, I am glad and extremely joyful, delighted and pleased and I rejoice together with you all, individually and collectively, and you should also be glad and extremely joyful, delighted and pleased in the same way, and you should rejoice together with me.

Timotheos And Epaphroditus

19 - 30

Moreover, I hope in Master* Yahushua* to quickly and shortly, swiftly and hastily send and dispatch Timotheos to you, so that and in order that I too may be cheered up and encouraged by coming to know and have knowledge of news about and concerning you, for I have and hold, own and posses no one, nobody and nothing else like-minded, of the same mind or of a similar attitude who will be genuinely, sincerely and legitimately concerned and anxious about and concerning you, for every single one of them, individually and collectively are desiring and wishing for, seeking and aiming, striving and craving after their own interests, not those of Messiah* Yahushua*, but nevertheless, you know and understand, recognise and have experienced, recall and are aware of his, Timotheos’ proven worth and genuine character, for concerning this he has served and slaved together with me for and on behalf of the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration as and like a son would serve his father*. Indeed and truly, certainly and surely then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, I hope to send and dispatch him at once, instantly and immediately, as soon as I determine and see, learn about and ascertain information about the things concerning me. I trust and rely upon, depend in and have complete confidence in Yahuweh* concerning that I myself will also come, arrive and appear quickly and shortly, swiftly and hastily. But nevertheless, I have thought and considered, seemed and deemed, reckoned and regarded it necessary and indispensible to send and dispatch Epaphroditus* favourably to you, my brother and companion, fellow worker and helper and fellow soldier and comrade, and your delegate and emissary, teacher, ambassador and messenger, and servant and minister to my needs and necessities, since and because he has longed for and desired to be sent and dispatched favourably to you, also being distressed and troubled, depressed and deeply upset because you heard and comprehended, understood, perceived and learnt that he was sick. For he was even so sick that he was close to and near to death and separation, the separating of the soul from the body, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, God* had mercy, pity and compassion on him, and not only upon him, but nevertheless, notwithstanding on and the contrary, God also had mercy, pity and compassion on me, so that and in order that I wouldn’t have or hold, own or possess sorrow or pain, grief or affliction upon sorrow or pain, grief or affliction. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, I am more diligent and eager to send and dispatch him so that and in order that you may rejoice and be glad, delighted and pleased to see and perceive, look at and become acquainted with him again, anew and furthermore, and I might be and exist without sorrow and grief, pain and anxiety. So then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, await and expect to receive and accept him in Yahuweh* together with all joy and gladness, rejoicing and delightedness, and have and hold, own and posses such people with honour, esteem and respect, for concerning this he neared and approached as far as death and separation, the parting of the soul from the body, 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 work and business, employment and undertaking, acts and deeds of Messiah*, risking and endangering his soul so that and in order that he might perfect and complete, fulfil and execute, celebrate, accomplish and perform what was lacking and deficient, absent and shortcoming in your services and ministering towards me.

Chapter 3

The Past Things Are Counted As Loss

1 - 16

What remains, brothers and fellow brethren, is to be glad and extremely joyful, delighted and pleased in, by and with Yahuweh*. Indeed and truly, certainly and surely, it is and exists as no trouble or bother for me to write, inscribe and record the same things to you, and it is safe and firm, certain and secure for you. Perceive and examine, mentally discern and observe, discover and understand, consider and contemplate, pay close attention to and notice, direct your attention to and face, be aware of, look out and watch for the dogs; perceive and examine, mentally discern and observe, discover and understand, consider and contemplate, pay close attention to and notice, direct your attention to and face, be aware of, look out and watch for the 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 errant thinking, morally corrupt and diseased, culpable and derelict, mischievous and demonic, guilty and rotten doers and workers, labourers and perpetrators; perceive and examine, mentally discern and observe, discover and understand, consider and contemplate, pay close attention to and notice, direct your attention to and face, be aware of, look out and watch for the mutilation - for we are and exist as the circumcision, those who work and serve, minister and officiate in, by and with spirit, and boast and brag, praise and glorify in, by and with Messiah* Yahushua*, and putting no confidence or trust, reliance, dependence or appeal in the flesh, the corruptible nature of man - even though I myself might have and hold, own and posses confidence and trust, reliance, dependence and appeal in, by and with the flesh, the corruptible nature of man. If someone else thinks or supposes, judges or deems, believes or considers, seems or decides he has reason for confidence and trust, reliance, dependence and appeal in, by and with the flesh, the corruptible nature of man, I have far more to a much greater degree; circumcised on the eighth day; from out of the race and people, family and nation of Yisra’el*; of the tribe and clan of Binyamiyn*; a Hebrew of Hebrews; according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to law and commandment, custom and rule, tradition and order, statue and ordinance, a Pharisee*; according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to burning zeal and ardour, envy and jealousy, a persecutor and expeller, pursuer and harasser of the Ekklesia*, the called out assembly, gathering and congregation, mistreating and troubling, driving away and running after her; coming to be and arising as blameless, faultless and guiltless according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance that is in law and commandment, custom and rule, tradition and order, statue and ordinance. Whatever was a gain, advantage or profit to me, these I have considered and thought, regarded and counted, reckoned and deemed as loss and disadvantage 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 Anointed One*. But nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, even more I consider and think, regard and count, reckon and deem all individual and collective things to be and exist as a loss and disadvantage 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 superiority, supremacy and excellence of the knowledge and understanding, intellectual grasp and insight of the Anointed* Yahushua*, my firm foundation*, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of whom I have lost and forfeited all things, individually and collectively, and consider and think, regard and count, reckon and deem them as dung and rubbish, excrement and refuse, worthless and detestable, muck and scraps, crud and pitiful, so that and in order that I might gain and acquire, get and win Messiah*, and be found and discovered, detected and seen present, come across and recognised in, by and with Him, not having or holding, keeping or retaining, owning or possessing the righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance of mine that comes from out of law and commandment, custom and rule, tradition and order, statue and ordinance, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, that which comes through trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in Messiah*, the righteousness and validation, acceptance, vindication and uprightness, justification and acquittance from God* that is based upon trust and reliance, obedience and placing confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, that I may know and understand, perceive and realise, notice and discern, discover and observe, experience and comprehend Him and the power and might, strength and ability of His resurrection, and share and partake in, accompany with and join in His suffering and affliction, calamity and sorrow, grief and misfortune, [becoming like and being conformed to His death and separation, the parting of His soul from His body]*, if or whether in some way I may come to and attain, arrive at and reach towards the resurrection from the dead, deceased and lifeless. Not that I have already received or taken, collected or acquired, claimed or procured, accepted or apprehended, obtained or admitted this, nor have I already been made right and valid, acceptable, vindicated and upright, justified and acquitted, nor have I already been made perfect and complete, yet I press on and continue after, seek after and pursue, run after and press forward if I may take hold of and seize, apprehend and obtain, gain and possess, grasp and win that upon which I was also taken hold of and seized, apprehended and obtained, gained and possessed, grasped and won by and under Messiah* Yahushua*. Brothers and fellow brethren, I myself do not think or suppose, judge or deem, believe or consider, seem or am of the opinion that I have taken hold of and seized, apprehended and obtained, gained and possessed, grasped and won it; but one thing I do know: truly and indeed, I wilfully forget and neglect, no longer care for and overlook, disregard and am unconcerned about the things which lie behind, but nevertheless, I stretch towards and strain forward to those things that lie ahead in front of and before me, in my presence, according to and for the purpose of the goal and mark I press on and continue after, seek after and pursue, run after and press forward towards the prize and award of the upward and above call and designation, summon and invitation of God* in Messiah* Yahushua*. Then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things so, as many as there are of us who are perfect and complete, mature and without blemish, genuine and valid, let us think and understand, be disposed and judge, set our mind and thoughts on this, and if someone else thinks or understands, is disposed or judges otherwise and sets their mind or thoughts on something different, God* will also uncover and reveal, manifest and lay bare, disclose, bring to the light and make this known to you, however, let us walk and hold true to, follow and conform to that same thing which we have attained, reached and achieved.

Our Glorified Body

17 - 21

Brothers and fellow brethren, become, arise and appear as my fellow imitators, and in this manner, thus and so, keep a critical look at and observe, contemplate and pay attention to those that walk around and behave, live and progress according to the example and pattern, model, character and impression that you also have and hold, keep and retain, own and possess in us, for many who walk around and behave, live and progress I frequently and often at many times have told and taught, maintained and affirmed, directed, exhorted and advised you about, and have pointed them out to you, and now, at this time I say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out with tears and weeping, grieving, lamenting and mourning; perceive and examine, mentally discern and observe, discover and understand, consider and contemplate, pay close attention to and notice, direct your attention to and face, beware, look out and watch for the enemies, adversaries and opponents of the upright stake* of the Anointed One*, of whom their aim and purpose, end and finish, goal and final result, conclusion and cessation, achievement and fulfilment, termination and outcome is complete and utter destruction and ruin, waste, obliteration and annihilation, of whom their god* is their stomach and belly, gullet and appetite, and of whom their glory and splendour, brightness, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, favour and majesty is in, by and with their shame and embarrassment, humiliation and disgrace, dishonour and detestable ways, these set their minds upon and think about, cherish and strive for, seek after and have regard for, ponder and dwell upon, contemplate and fix their attention on earthly and worldly things. For our citizenship and commonwealth, state and constitution exist and begins in heaven, the abode of the Supreme One, from out of which we eagerly watch and anxiously expect, look for and wait to accept and receive the Saviour, Messiah* Yahushua*, who will change and transform the character and form, condition and structure of our humble and insignificant, abased and lowly, week and poor flesh and body, conforming it to be the same form and nature of His glorious and splendorous, bright and radiant, magnificent and excellent, pre-eminent and dignified, graceful and majestic, shining and supreme, dazzling and perfect flesh and body, according to and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the functioning, active and efficient energy and enabling power and capability by which He has the ability to order and arrange, subordinate, govern and place all individual and collective things under His control.

Therefore, as a result and for this purpose, my brothers and fellow brethren, my beloved and esteemed, dear and favourites and those whom I long for, earnestly desire and who I miss, my joy and reason for gladness, delight and great happiness, and my crown and prize of victory; in this manner, way and so, stand firm and steadfast, persevere and persist in Yahuweh*, my beloved and esteemed, dear and favourites. I encourage and exhort, console and teach, instruct and urge, appeal to and request, implore and entreat, comfort and call, address and summon, beseech and cheer on Euodia*, and I encourage and exhort, console and teach, instruct and urge, appeal to and request, implore and entreat, comfort and call, address and summon, beseech and cheer on Syntyche* to think and judge, understand and ponder, set their mind on and respect, honour and regard the same thing in Yahuweh*. Yes, truly and surely I also ask and request, entreat, beseech and inquire of you, genuine and true, sincere, real and legitimate yokefellow and companion - help, aid and assist them, these women who have strived and fought, co-operated and laboured, toiled and struggled side by side together with me in, by and with the good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration, and also together with Clement* and the rest of my remaining companions, fellow workers and helpers, who’s names and titles, characters and persons, reputations and authorities are in, by and with the Book of Life. Always, at all times and on every occasion, rejoice and be glad, delighted and pleased in, by and with Yahuweh*. Again, anew and furthermore I will say and teach, maintain and affirm, advise and exhort, direct and point out; rejoice and be glad, delighted and pleased. Let your gentleness and courtesy, reasonableness and suitability, moderateness and fairness, kindness and goodness be known and understood, perceived and comprehended, noticed and realised, acknowledged, recognised and be experienced by every individual and collective human being. The Sovereign Master* is near and imminent, close and at hand. Don’t be concerned and anxious about anything, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in, by and with all individual and collective prayers and pleas, petitions and treaties with thanksgiving and gratitude, let your requests and desires become known and recognisable, acknowledgeable and perceivable before God* with thanksgiving and gratitude, and the peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation of God* that surpasses and exceeds, overtops and rises above all individual and collective understanding and reason, thinking and intellect, purpose and insight, feelings and righteous judgement will guard and protect, keep, preserve and watch over your hearts, your circulation of life and your minds and thoughts, purposes and perceptions, plans and understanding in Master* Yahushua*.

Continue To Do Good
