NEW TESTAMENT

3 And I, brethren (fellow brothers), could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal (worldly), even as unto babes in Christ (the Messiah; HaMashiach).

² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it (because even until now you are still not ready to receive it), neither yet now are ye (you) able.

³ For ye (you) are yet carnal (worldly [controlled by ordinary impulses, the sinful capacity]): for whereas there is among you envying, and strife (conflicts), and divisions, are ye (you) not carnal (worldly), and walk as men?

⁴ For while one saith (says), I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye (you) not carnal (worldly)?

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye (you) believed, even as the Lord (Aḏon) gave to every man?

⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God (Elohim; Yahuah) gave the increase.

⁷ So then neither is he that planteth (plants) any thing, neither he that watereth (waters); but God (Elohim; Yahuah) that giveth (gives) the increase.

⁸ Now he that planteth (plants) and he that watereth (waters) are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

⁹ For we are labourers together with God (Elohim; Yahuah): ye (you) are God’s husbandry (Yahuah’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard]), ye (you) are God’s (Yahuah’s) building.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God (Elohim; Yahuah) which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder (master builder), I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon (and another is building on it). But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon (But each one must be careful how he builds on it).

¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach).

¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹³ Every man’s work shall be made manifest (clearly shown): for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

¹⁴ If any man’s work abide (remain, stay) which he hath built thereupon (which he has built on this foundation), he shall receive a reward.

¹⁵ If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

¹⁶ Know ye (you) not that ye (you) are the temple of God (Elohim; Yahuah), and that the Spirit of God dwelleth (lives) in you?

¹⁷ If any man defile the temple of God (Elohim; Yahuah), him shall God (Elohim; Yahuah) destroy; for the temple of God (Elohim; Yahuah) is holy, which temple ye (you) are.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth (seem) to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (Elohim; Yahuah). For it is written, He taketh (takes) the wise in their own craftiness (cunningness).

²⁰ And again, The Lord knoweth (knows) the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

²¹ Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;

²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;

²³ And ye (you) are Christ’s (Mashiach’s); and Christ is God’s (and Mashiach is Yahuah’s).

105 O give thanks unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai); call upon his (His) name: make known his (His) deeds among the people.

² Sing unto him (Him), sing psalms unto him (Him): talk ye (you) of all his (His) wondrous works.

³ Glory ye (you) in his (His) holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai).

⁴ Seek the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), and his (His) strength: seek his (His) face evermore.

⁵ Remember his (His) marvellous works that he hath (He has) done; his wonders, and the judgments of his (His) mouth;

⁶ O ye (you) seed of Abraham his servant, ye (you) children of Jacob his (His) chosen.

⁷ He is the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) our God (Elohim): his (His) judgments are in all the earth.

⁸ He hath (has) remembered his (His) covenant for ever, the word (The Word) which he (He) commanded to a thousand generations.

⁹ Which covenant he (He) made with Abraham, and his (His) oath unto Isaac;

¹⁰ And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

¹¹ Saying, Unto thee (you) will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

¹² When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

¹³ When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

¹⁴ He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea (yes), he reproved kings for their sakes;

¹⁵ Saying, Touch not mine (my) anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

¹⁶ Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake (broke) the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷ He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

¹⁸ Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

¹⁹ Until the time that his (His) word came: the word of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) tried (refined) him.

²⁰ The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

²¹ He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

²² To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

²³ Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴ And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly (craftily) with his servants.

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

²⁷ They shewed (showed) his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his (His) word.

²⁹ He turned their waters into blood, and slew (killed) their fish.

³⁰ Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

³¹ He spake (spoke), and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

³² He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

³³ He smote (struck) their vines also and their fig trees; and brake (broke) the trees of their coasts.

³⁴ He spake (spoke), and the locusts came, and caterpillers (caterpillars), and that without number,

³⁵ And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

³⁶ He smote (killed) also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

³⁷ He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

³⁸ Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰ The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹ He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴² For he remembered his (His) holy promise, and Abraham his (His) servant.

⁴³ And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

⁴⁴ And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

(NOTE: heathen = An old-fashioned and offensive word for someone who has no religion, or belongs to a religion that is not Christianity, Judaism, or Islam)

⁴⁵ That they might observe his statutes (His written law), and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord (Hallelu-Yah!).

Psalm 106
King James Version audio with speed control:-
(NOTE: To pause and to play again, press Fn + F5 on your keyboard)

Background music:-

106 Praise ye the Lord (Hallelu-Yah!). O give thanks unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai); for he (He) is good: for his (His) mercy endureth (endures, lasts) for ever.

² Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai)? who can shew (show) forth all his (His) praise?

³ Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth (does) righteousness at all times.

⁴ Remember me, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai), with the favour that thou bearest unto thy (You bear to Your) people: O visit me with thy (Your) salvation;

⁵ That I may see the good of thy (Your) chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy (Your) nation, that I may glory with thine (Your) inheritance.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity (evil, sin), we have done wickedly.

⁷ Our fathers understood not thy (Your) wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy (Your) mercies; but provoked him (Him) at the sea, even at the Red sea.

⁸ Nevertheless he (He) saved them for his (His) name’s sake, that he (He) might make his (His) mighty power to be known.

⁹ He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

¹⁰ And he (He) saved them from the hand of him (hater) that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

¹² Then believed they his (His) words; they sang his (His) praise.

¹³ They soon forgat his (forgot His) works; they waited not for his counsel:

¹⁴ But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God (Elohim; Yahuah) in the desert.

¹⁵ And he (He) gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai).

¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁸ And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image (the cast image).

²⁰ Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth (eats) grass.

²¹ They forgat God (forgot Yahuah) their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

²³ Therefore he (He) said that he (He) would destroy them, had not Moses his (His) chosen stood before him (Him) in the breach, to turn away his wrath (His extreme anger), lest he (He) should destroy them.

²⁴ Yea (Yes), they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his (His) word:

²⁵ But murmured (grumbled) in their tents, and hearkened not unto (and did not listen to) the voice of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai).

²⁶ Therefore he (He) lifted up his (His) hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

²⁷ To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

²⁸ They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

(NOTE: Baal Peor  = a local deity worshiped by the Moabites)

²⁹ Thus they provoked him (Him) to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake (broke) in upon them.

³⁰ Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

³¹ And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

³² They angered him (Him) also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³ Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake (spoke) unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴ They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) commanded them:

³⁵ But were mingled (mixed) among the heathen (nations), and learned their works.

³⁶ And they served their idols: which were a snare unto (trap to) them.

³⁷ Yea (Yes), they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

³⁸ And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹ Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions (and they played the prostitute in their own deeds [by giving their worship, which belongs to God alone, to other “gods”]).

⁴⁰ Therefore was the wrath (extreme anger) of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) kindled (flamed) against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his (He detested His) own inheritance.

⁴¹ And he (He) gave them into the hand of the heathen (nations); and they that hated them ruled over them.

⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³ Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity (evil, sin).

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he (He) regarded their affliction, when he (He) heard their cry:

⁴⁵ And he (He) remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his (His) mercies.

⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

⁴⁷ Save us, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai)our God, and gather us from among the heathen (nations), to give thanks unto thy (Your) holy name, and to triumph in thy (Your) praise.

⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lord God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah / Adonai) of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord (Hallelu-Yah!).

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hebrew text is read from LEFT to RIGHT:-

---

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach (Hebrew) = Messiah (English) / Anointed One (the Savior who saves the sinners for those who believe in Him)

FULL NAME in Hebrew text with ‘The’: יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.

Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One 

NOTES:-

1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yahuah יְהוָֹה (H3068), adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 ) which means ‘Saves’. See the diagram below:-

יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yahusha), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).”

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
