¹³ say, I pray thee, thou `art' my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'

⁷ and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She `is' my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife -- lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she `is' of good appearance.'

² and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah.

⁵ hath not he himself said to me, She `is' my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He `is' my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.'

¹² and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife;

¹³ and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander from my father's house, that I say to her, This `is' thy kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we come, say of me, He `is' my brother.'

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

¹² for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision,

¹³ and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation.

²³ for the wages of the sin `is' death, and the gift of God `is' life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

⁷ for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?

⁸ and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

⁶⁹ And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!'

⁷⁰ And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.'

⁷¹ And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;'

⁷² and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known the man.'

⁷³ And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'

⁷⁴ Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him -- `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

⁴ Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son -- they are Mine, The soul that is sinning -- it doth die.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah: Cursed `is' the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.

⁶ And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.

⁷ Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

¹¹ And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid `it' to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?

³ Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

²⁹ And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife `is' Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife `is' Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
