¹⁸ and `it is' good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

²⁷ Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

¹³ and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

²⁰ and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

¹⁷ And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance `for' clothing, And is covered, as `with' an upper-robe, `with' zeal.

¹³⁹ Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.

⁹ For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.

¹¹ `Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed the sons of Israel in My zeal.

¹² `Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of peace,

¹³ and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of Israel.'
