¹² My vineyard -- my own -- is before me, The thousand `is' for thee, O Solomon. And the two hundred for those keeping its fruit. O dweller in gardens!

⁶ Fear me not, because I `am' very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard -- my own -- I have not kept.

¹⁷ The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

¹⁸ for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and `Worthy `is' the workman of his reward.'

¹⁵ of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;

¹⁶ take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.

¹⁹ for what `is' our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?

¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

²⁰ for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

⁷ For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

⁸ for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

²⁸ `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

²³ Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it `are' the outgoings of life.

¹⁷ His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

¹⁸ Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,

¹⁹ And blessed `is' the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled `with' His honour. Amen, and amen!
