NEW TESTAMENT

16 I commend (praise officially) unto you Phebe (Phoebe) our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

² That ye (you) receive her in the Lord (Adonai), as becometh saints (as Yahuah’s people ought to receive one another), and that ye (you) assist her in whatsoever business she hath (has) need of you: for she hath (has) been a succourer (rescuer) of many, and of myself also.

³ Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus (HaMashiach Yahusha):

⁴ Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

⁵ Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

⁶ Greet Mary, who bestowed (put in) much labour on us.

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

⁸ Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord (Adonai).

⁹ Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

¹⁰ Salute (Greet) Apelles approved in Christ. Salute (Greet) them which are of Aristobulus’ household.

¹¹ Salute (Greet) Herodion my kinsman (relative). Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord (Adonai).

¹² Salute (Greet) Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord (Adonai). Salute (Greet) the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord (Adonai).

¹³ Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord (Adonai), and his mother and mine.

¹⁴ Salute (Greet) Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren (fellow believers) which are with them.

¹⁵ Salute (Greet) Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

¹⁶ Salute (Greet) one another with an (a) holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute (greet) you.

Paul’s Final Instructions

¹⁷ Now I beseech (urge) you, brethren (fellow believers), mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary (opposite) to the doctrine (teaching) which ye (you) have learned; and avoid them.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yahusha HaMashiach), but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹ For your obedience is come abroad unto all men (has reached everyone). I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

²⁰ And the God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH) of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yahusha HaMashiach) be with you. Amen.

²¹ Timotheus (Timothy) my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen (relative), salute (greet) you.

²² I Tertius, who wrote this epistle (letter), salute (greet) you in the Lord (Adonai).

²³ Gaius mine (my) host, and of the whole church, saluteth (salutes, greets) you. Erastus the chamberlain (officer, treasurer) of the city saluteth (salutes, greets) you, and Quartus a brother.

²⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yahusha HaMashiach) be with you all. Amen.

²⁵ Now to him (Him) that is of power to stablish (establish) you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach), according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

²⁶ But now is made manifest (has been disclosed), and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God (Yahuah), made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

²⁷ To God (Yahuah) only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach) for ever. Amen.

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.”
