NEW TESTAMENT

12 I beseech (urge) you therefore, brethren (fellow believers), by the mercies of God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH), that ye (you) present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God (Yahuah), which is your reasonable service.

² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye (you) transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye (you) may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Yahuah).

³ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly (seriously, sensibly, and solemnly; not in the state of being drunk), according as God hath (Yahuah has) dealt to every man the measure of faith.

⁴ For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

⁵ So we, being many, are one body in Christ (Mashiach, the Messiah), and every one members one of another.

⁶ Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

⁷ Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth (teaches), on teaching;

⁸ Or he that exhorteth (exhorts, encourages), on exhortation: he that giveth (gives), let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth (rules), with diligence; he that sheweth (shows) mercy, with cheerfulness.

(NOTE: diligence (noun) = The quality of working carefully and with a lot of effort)

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation (pretense, hypocrisy). Abhor that which is evil (Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]); cleave to that which is good.

¹⁰ Be kindly affectionate (loving, devoted) one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

¹¹ Not slothful (lazy) in business; fervent (enthusiastic) in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹² Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation (great suffering); continuing instant in prayer;

¹³ Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

¹⁴ Bless them which (who) persecute you: bless, and curse not.

¹⁵ Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

¹⁶ Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend (accommodate) to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (arrogance).

¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil (Never repay anyone evil for evil). Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as lieth (lies) in you, live peaceably with all men.

¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath (extreme anger): for it is written, Vengeance (Revenge) is mine; I will repay, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai).

²⁰ Therefore if thine (your) enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt (you shall) heap coals of fire on his head.

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

To the Chief Musician upon Gittith. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

84 How amiable (lovely) are thy (Your) tabernacles, O Lord of hosts (O Adonai of armies)!

² My soul longeth (longs), yea (yes), even fainteth (faints) for the courts of the Lord (Adonai): my heart and my flesh crieth (cries) out for the living God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH).

³ Yea (Yes), the sparrow hath (has) found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine (Your) altars, O Lord of hosts (O Adonai of armies), my King, and my God (Yahuah).

⁴ Blessed are they that dwell in thy (live in Your) house: they will be still praising thee (You). Selah.

⁹ Behold, O God (Yahuah) our shield, and look upon the face of thine (Your) anointed.

¹⁰ For a day in thy (Your) courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God (Yahuah), than to dwell (live) in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹ For the Lord God (Adonai Yahuah) is a sun and shield: the Lord (Adonai) will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

¹² O Lord (O Adonai) of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee (who trusts in You).

⁴ Turn us, O God (Yahuah) of our salvation, and cause thine (Your) anger toward us to cease (stop).

⁵ Wilt thou (Will You) be angry with us for ever? wilt thou (Will You) draw out thine (Your) anger to all generations?

⁶ Wilt thou (Will You) not revive us again: that thy (Your) people may rejoice in thee (You)?

⁷ Shew (Show) us thy (Your) mercy, O Lord (Adonai), and grant us thy (Your) salvation.

⁸ I will hear what God the Lord (Yahuah Adonai) will speak: for he (He) will speak peace unto his (His) people, and to his (His) saints: but let them not turn again to folly (foolishness).

⁹ Surely his (His) salvation is nigh (near) them that fear him (Him); that glory may dwell (live) in our land.

¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

¹¹ Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹² Yea (Yes), the Lord (Adonai) shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

¹³ Righteousness shall go before him (Him); and shall set us in the way of his (His) steps.

⁶ Give ear, O Lord (O Adonai), unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee (You): for thou wilt (You will) answer me.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee (You), O Lord (O Adonai); neither are there any works like unto thy (Your) works.

⁹ All nations whom thou hast (You have) made shall come and worship before thee (You), O Lord; and shall glorify thy (Your) name.

¹⁰ For thou art (You are) great, and doest (does) wondrous things: thou art God (You are Yahuah) alone.

¹⁴ O God (O Yahuah), the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee (You) before them.

¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art (But You, O Lord, are) a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

¹⁶ O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy (Your) strength unto thy (Your) servant, and save the son of thine (Your) handmaid.

¹⁷ Shew (Show) me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou (You), Lord (Adonai), hast holpen (has helped) me, and comforted me.

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-

VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW

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:-

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 (Yeshua), 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 (Yeshua) 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.”
