NEW TESTAMENT

7 Now concerning the things whereof ye (you) wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication (having sex before marriage), let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

³ Let the husband render (give, provide, deliver) unto the wife due benevolence (kindness, love, service, mercy, privilege, grace, indulgence, courtesy, blessing): and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

⁴ The wife hath (has) not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath (has) not power of his own body, but the wife.

⁵ Defraud ye not one the other (Do not deprive one another), except it be with consent for a time, that ye (you) may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency (lack of self-control).

⁶ But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath (has) his proper gift of God (Elohim; Yahuah), one after this manner, and another after that.

⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide (remain) even as I.

⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

¹⁰ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha), Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹¹ But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹² But to the rest speak I, not the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha): If any brother hath (has) a wife that believeth (believes) not, and she be pleased to dwell (live) with him, let him not put her away.

¹³ And the woman which hath an (who has a) husband that believeth (believes) not, and if he be pleased to dwell (lives) with her, let her not leave him.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

¹⁵ But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God (Elohim; Yahuah) hath (has) called us to peace.

¹⁶ For what knowest thou (For what do you know), O wife, whether thou shalt (you shall) save thy (your) husband? or how knowest thou (or how do you know), O man, whether thou shalt (you shall) save thy (your) wife?

¹⁷ But as God hath (Yahuah has) distributed to every man, as the Lord hath (Aḏon; Yahusha has) called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

¹⁸ Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God (Elohim; Yahuah).

116 I love the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), because he hath (He has) heard my voice and my supplications.

² Because he hath (He has) inclined his (His) ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him (Him) as long as I live.

³ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon (encompassed) me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then called I upon the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), I beseech thee (urge You), deliver my soul.

⁵ Gracious is the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and righteous; yea (yes), our God is merciful.

⁶ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) preserveth (preserves) the simple: I was brought low, and he (He) helped me.

⁸ For thou hast (You have) delivered my soul from death, mine (my) eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

⁹ I will walk before the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) in the land of the living.

¹⁰ I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

¹² What shall I render unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) for all his benefits toward me?

¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) now in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is the death of his saints.

¹⁶ O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), truly I am thy (your) servant; I am thy (your) servant, and the son of thine (Your) handmaid: thou hast (You have) loosed my bonds.

¹⁷ I will offer to thee (You) the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) now in the presence of all his (His) people.

¹⁹ In the courts of the Lord’s (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah’s) house, in the midst of thee (you), O Jerusalem. Praise ye (you) the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

² Let Israel now say, that his (His) mercy endureth (endures, lasts) for ever.

³ Let the house of Aaron now say, that his (His) mercy endureth (endures, lasts) for ever.

⁴ Let them now that fear the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) say, that his mercy endureth (endures, lasts) for ever.

⁵ I called upon the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) in distress: the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) answered me, and set me in a large place.

⁶ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

⁷ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) taketh (takes) my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

⁸ It is better to trust in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) than to put confidence in man.

⁹ It is better to trust in the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰ All nations compassed me about (surrounded around me): but in the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) will I destroy them.

¹¹ They compassed me about (surrounded around me); yea (yes), they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) I will destroy them.

¹² They compassed (surrounded) me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) I will destroy them.

¹³ Thou hast thrust sore at me (You have pushed me hard) that I might fall: but the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) helped me.

¹⁴ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) doeth valiantly (does courageously).

¹⁶ The right hand of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly (does courageously).

¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

¹⁸ The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath chastened me sore (has discipline me severely): but he hath (He has) not given me over unto death.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah):

²⁰ This gate of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), into which the righteous shall enter.

²¹ I will praise thee (You): for thou hast (You have) heard me, and art (have) become my salvation.

²² The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

²³ This is the Lord’s (from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

²⁴ This is the day which the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ Save now, I beseech thee (urge You), O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) : O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), I beseech thee (urge You), send now prosperity.

²⁶ Blessed be he that cometh (comes) in the name of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

²⁷ God is the Lord Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah is Ĕl), which hath shewed (has showed) us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

²⁸ Thou art (You are) my God, and I will praise thee (You): thou art (You are) my God, I will exalt thee (You).

²⁹ O give thanks unto the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); for he (He) is good: for his (His) mercy endureth (endures, lasts) for ever.

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.”
