¹⁰ Ye `are' My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I `am' He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I `am' He.

⁶ So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I `am' Jehovah, and there is none else,

¹² I -- I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye `are' My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I `am' God.

¹ Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one -- My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I `am' the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

⁷ And who as I, doth call and declare it, And arrange it for Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that are coming, And those that do come, declare they to them?

⁸ Fear not, nor be afraid, Have I not from that time caused thee to hear, and declared? And ye `are' My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? yea, there is none, A Rock I have not known.

⁸ Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn `it' back, O transgressors, to the heart.

⁹ Remember former things of old, For I `am' Mighty, and there is none else, God -- and there is none like Me.

¹⁴ `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness -- the faithful and true -- the chief of the creation of God;

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,

² who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

⁷ as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

⁸ -- And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover,

²⁰ So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy One of Israel hath prepared it.

⁴ Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.

⁷ this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

⁸ that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

²⁷ and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.

³¹ and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

⁸ but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁵ and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

²¹ Do ye not know -- do ye not hear? Hath it not been declared from the first to you? Have ye not understood `From' the foundations of the earth?

²² He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants `are' as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in.
