² and he saith unto them, `What have I done now like you? are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the harvest of Abi-Ezer?

¹¹ And the messenger of Jehovah cometh and sitteth under the oak which `is' in Ophrah, which `is' to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and Gideon his son is beating out wheat in the wine-press, to remove `it' from the presence of the Midianites;

³⁴ and the Spirit of Jehovah hath clothed Gideon, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'

¹⁵ and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye may not by one another be consumed.

² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;

¹³ Who `is' wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

¹⁴ and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

¹⁷ and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --

¹⁸ and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
