NEW TESTAMENT

6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

² Do ye (you) not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye (you) unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

³ Know ye (you) not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain (related) to this life?

⁴ If then ye (you) have judgments of things pertaining (relating) to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed (admired) in the church.

⁵ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren (brothers)?

⁶ But brother goeth (goes) to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye (you) go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong (Why not rather be wronged)? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded (Why not rather be defrauded)?

⁸ Nay (No), ye (you) do wrong, and defraud (swindle, cheat, deceive), and that your brethren (brothers).

⁹ Know ye not that (Do you not know that) the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Elohim; Yahuah)? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God (Elohim; Yahuah).

¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye (you) are washed, but ye (you) are sanctified (purified), but ye (you) are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus (Aḏon Yahusha), and by the Spirit of our God.

Avoiding Sexual Sin

¹² All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient (beneficial): all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

¹³ Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God (Elohim; Yahuah) shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha); and the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha) for the body.

(NOTE: fornication = voluntary sexual intercourse between unmarried persons or outside of marriage)

¹⁴ And God hath (And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah has) both raised up the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha), and will also raise up us by his own power.

¹⁵ Know ye (you) not that your bodies are the members of Christ (Mashiach)? shall I then take the members of Christ (Mashiach), and make them the members of an harlot (a prostitute)? God (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah / Yah) forbid.

¹⁶ What? know ye (you) not that he which is joined to an harlot (a prostitute) is one body? for two, saith (says) he, shall be one flesh.

¹⁷ But he that is joined unto the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha) is one spirit.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth (does) is without the body; but he that committeth (commits) fornication sinneth (sins) against his own body.

¹⁹ What? know ye (you) not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit / Ruach HaKodesh) which is in you, which ye (you) have of God (Elohim; Yahuah), and ye (you) are not your own?

²⁰ For ye (you) are bought with a price: therefore glorify God (Elohim; Yahuah) in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s (Yahuah’s).

⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

⁵ What ailed thee (What is troubling you) , O thou (you) sea, that thou fleddest (that you flee)? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back (O Jordan, that you turn back)?

⁶ Ye (You) mountains, that ye (you) skipped like rams; and ye (you) little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, thou (you) earth, at the presence of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), at the presence of the God (Elohim) of Jacob;

² Wherefore should the heathen (nations) say, Where is now their God (Elohim; Yahuah)?

³ But our God (Elohim; Yahuah) is in the heavens: he hath (He has) done whatsoever he hath (He has) pleased.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

⁶ They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

⁷ They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

⁸ They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth (trust) in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust thou (you) in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): he (He) is their help and their shield.

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): he (He) is their help and their shield.

¹¹ Ye (You) that fear the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), trust in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): he (He) is their help and their shield.

¹² The Lord hath (has) been mindful of us: he (He) will bless us; he (He) will bless the house of Israel; he (He) will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³ He will bless them that fear the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), both small and great.

¹⁴ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵ Ye (You) are blessed of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) which made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s (are of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) but the earth hath he (has He) given to the children of men.

¹⁷ The dead praise not the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), neither any that go down into silence.

¹⁸ But we will bless the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) from this time forth and for evermore. Praise 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.”
