¹⁹ `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,

⁹ And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

¹⁷ `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there is nothing too wonderful for Thee:

¹⁸ and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save `me' -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom `is' the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.

⁷ for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

⁸ but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves;

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

⁵ Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

²⁵ Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.

¹⁶ because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

¹⁷ then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;

¹⁸ so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;
