NEW TESTAMENT

²⁰ Let every man abide (remain) in the same calling wherein he was called.

²¹ Art thou (Are you) called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest (you may) be made free, use it rather.

²² For he that is called in the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha), being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman (Lord (Aḏon’s; Yahusha’s freed man): likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s (Mashiach’s) servant.

²³ Ye (You) are bought with a price; be not ye (you) the servants of men.

²⁴ Brethren (Brothers), let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide (remain) with God (Elohim; Yahuah).

²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha): yet I give my judgment, as one that hath (has) obtained mercy of the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha) to be faithful.

²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁷ Art thou (Are you) bound unto (to) a wife? seek not to be loosed (Do not seek to be released). Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife (Are you unmarried? Do not seek a wife).

²⁸ But and if thou (you) marry, thou hast (you have) not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath (has) not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren (fellow believers), the time is short: it remaineth (remains), that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

³⁰ And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

³¹ And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth (passes) away.

³² But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth (cares) for the things that belong to the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha), how he may please the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha):

³³ But he that is married careth (cares) for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

³⁴ There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth (cares) for the things of the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha), that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth (cares) for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

³⁵ And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye (you) may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

³⁶ But if any man think that he behaveth (behaves) himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth (sins) not: let them marry.

³⁷ Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast (stands steadfast, stands firm) in his heart, having no necessity, but hath (has) power over his own will, and hath (has) so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth (does) well.

³⁸ So then he that giveth (gives) her in marriage doeth (does) well; but he that giveth (gives) her not in marriage doeth (does) better.

³⁹ The wife is bound by the law (Torah) as long as her husband liveth (lives); but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord (Aḏon; Yahusha).

⁴⁰ But she is happier if she so abide (remain), after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God (Ruach of Elohim / Yahuah).

NOTES:-

1. SPELLING VERSION #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.

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. SPELLING VERSION #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. SPELLING VERSION #4:-

Yahusha (יְהוֹשׁוּ) as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father and according to the original ancient Hebrew text spelling.

Yah יָהּ (H3050), + וָֹ (u) + שַׁ Sh + ע A = Yahusha which means Yahuah (God) saves (H3091) (from left to right). 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 (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.”
