⁶ who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

⁷ to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁸ but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

⁹ oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.

³⁰ Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, says the Lord Yahweh. Return you, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

³¹ Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

³² For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.

⁷ For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from Yahweh.

³⁵ Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

³⁶ For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

³⁷ "In a very little while, He who comes will come, and will not wait.

³⁸ But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

³⁸ and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁹ and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

⁴⁰ and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

²¹ There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.

³⁸ Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁵¹ "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

¹⁵ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.

¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

⁷ Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

⁹ Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
