Names in the New Blood Covenant

Preface

The purpose of this translation is to literally communicate the words of the authors. Readability has been sacrificed to increase accuracy. The language of the New Testament [New Blood Covenant] is Koine [that is, common] Greek – a commercial/business language, NOT a literary one. The translator has used definitions from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Greek Dictionary. The quotations (inserted) from the Old Testament have been translated using Strong’s Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary.

Currently, Christians use certain Greek and Hebrew words because they convey meaning more specifically than the nearest American language equivalents. To avoid losing these important distinctions, some original Koine Greek and Hebrew or Chaldee words are retained in this work. [Printing a copy of the Lexicon has proven helpful to the translator.] The entries in the Lexicon are in the order in which they appear in Strong’s Greek Dictionary.

Words, added to the text by the translator (for greater clarity), are printed in italics. Explanatory words or translations are printed [in brackets]. Quoted words of Deity are in bold face. NEGATIVES are capitalized for greater clarity, NOT to emphasize the NEGATIVE. Be wary of the New Blood Covenant authors’ tendencies to use double NEGATIVES. These have been retained to truly convey to you their writing/speaking styles.

This translation embraces the conviction that the Kingdom of God is a progressive revelation, given by God to mankind over thousands of years. From this perspective, we expect that each successive writing builds upon those preceding it, which is why the writings of the New Blood Covenant (herein) are in the order in which they were written. Dates of distribution of these writings are NOT available, thus the estimates of experts have been used.

My prayer to Father Theos, in the name of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, is that He will use this translation to reveal new insights to you.

Lexicon

Christians are currently adding to their vocabularies certain Koine Greek, Hebrew Aramaic and Chaldee words from the original texts of the Old and New Testament. These words don’t have unique American language equivalents. This lexicon attempts to tie together Koine Greek, Hebrew Aramaic, Chaldee, and the American languages. The Greek, Hebrew and Chaldee words below are translated [in brackets] in this text. Hebrew Aramaic/Chaldee has no plurals.

First Letter to the Christians at Thessalonica from the Apostolos Paul -- A.D. 50

[NOTE: Thessalonica was the capital of one of the four Roman districts of Macedonia. Today, it is the most important city of European Turkey and is named Salonica.]

Paul and Silvanus [Latin; Silas or Wood, American] and Timothy [Honoring God] to the ekklesia [assembly, church] of the Thessalonians in Theos [Father God] and the Kurios [Lord, Master] Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah]: Charis [graciousness] and peace to you.

1.2 We always eucharistoumen [gratefully give thanks] to Theos concerning you all, continually making mention of you in our proseuchon [humbly begging God, praying], remembering your work of pistis [faith, reliance], draining effort of agape [unconditional love] and the cheerful endurance of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, before our Theos and Father; knowing your election, brothers, you having been egapemenois [unconditionally loved] by Theos. Our euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] came to you NOT only in logos [word] but also in dunamis [force, power] and in the Hagios [Holy, Sacred, Consecrated] Pneuma [Wind, Breath, Spirit] and in much assurance. You know what kind of men we were, in [among] you via you [for your sakes]. You were caused to be imitators of us and of the Kurios, receiving the logos under much stress with the joy of the Hagios Pneuma so to be caused to be patterns to all those having pistis in Macedonia and Achaia. For the logos of the Kurios resounded from you, NOT only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place to which your pistis toward Theos has gone forth. So there isn’t need for us to have to say anything for they themselves announce about us what kind of entry we have to you and how you had turned back toward Theos from the eidoloi [images for worship, idols] to serve the truthful and living Theos and to await His Son Jesus, emergent from the ouranoi [skies, heavens], Whom He awakened from dead; He rescuing us from the coming orge [fury, rage, wrath, violent passion].

2 For you yourselves know our entrance to you, brothers, that it hasn’t been empty. Even though having undergone hardship before in Philippi, Macedonia as you know, we were bold in our Theos to speak to you the euaggelion of Theos in much anguish. For our paraklesis [imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, solace] wasn’t of error NOR of impurity NOR deceit but as we have been approved by Theos to be entrusted with the euaggelion, so we speak; NOT as pleasing men but Theos, the One testing our hearts. For NEITHER were we then in logos of flattery (as you know) NOT with motive of avarice (Theos is Witness) NOR seeking glory from men (NEITHER from you NOR from others) being able to be burdened as apostoloi [delegates, ambassadors, apostles] of the Christos. We were gentle in your midst as a nurse brooding her own children. Longing for you so and having such warm feelings for you, I shared with you NOT only the euaggelion of Theos but also my own psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] because you have been caused to be agapetoi to me. For you remembered my labor pains, brothers, working night and day NOT to put a burden on anyone of you, I ekeruxamen [proclaimed, heralded] to you the euaggelion of Theos. You and Theos are witnesses as to how pious, dikaios [equitable, just, right] and faultless I was to those having pistis, even as you know how I parakalountes [called near, invited, urged, exhorted, encouraged] you and paramuthoumenoi [encouraged, consoled] and testified to each of one you (as a father to his own children) that you walk appropriately to Theos, the One calling you into His kingdom and glory.

2.13 We constantly eucharisteo to Theos that, having received the logos of Theos which you heard from me, you NOT received it as a logos of men but as it is, truly a logos of Theos that is also active in you, those having pistis. For you were caused to be imitators, brothers, of the ekklesiai of Theos in Jesus, the Christos, in Judea. You also suffered via your fellow countrymen as they also did via the Judaeans, those killing both the Kurios Jesus and their own prophetai [before tellers, prophets]; also driving us out. They NOT please Theos. They are antagonistic to all men, preventing us from speaking to the ethnoi [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] in order that [lest] they might sothosin [be made safe, be saved]. At all times fulfilling their hamartia [a miss of the mark or goal; error, offence; sin], upon them has come the orge of Theos to the telos [point aimed at, end of this age].

2.17 I being taken from you for an hour’s time (in face to face, NOT in heart), brothers, I was more superabundantly eager (with much desire) to see your faces. I wanted so much to come to you (truly I, Paul) both once and twice, but Satanas hindered me. For what is our elpis [expectation, hope] or joy or crown of boasting? Indeed, isn’t it you in front of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, in His coming? For you are my glory and joy.

3 So NO longer able to endure, I agreed to be left alone in Athens, Achaia. I sent our brother and diakonos [waiter, attendant, servant, deacon] of Theos and my fellow worker in the euaggelion of the Christos, Timothy, sterixai [to securely set, to make steadfast] and parakalesai [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] you concerning your pistis. NOT even one of you is to vacillate in [because of] my stress, for you (yourselves) know that I was destined for this. For even when I was with you, I told you (before it happened) that I was about to be squeezed. Now, (as you know) it has happened. So NO longer able to endure, I even sent Timothy to know your pistis, lest somehow the tempting one tempted you and our labor among you kenon [was caused to be useless]. But now, Timothy (coming back to me from you) is euaggelissmenoa [announcing good news] to me of your pistis and agape, also that you always have good memories of me, longing to see me even as I also long to see you. For this reason, brothers, during all my stress and constraint I was encouraged over you via your pistis, for now I really live if you stand firm in the Kurios. For we are able eucharistian [to express gratitude, to give thanks] to Theos concerning you over all the joy that I superabundantly rejoice via you, night and day in front of our Theos, asking to see your faces and to thoroughly complete any lack in your pistis.

3.11 May He, our Theos and Father Himself and our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, direct my way to you. May the Kurios make you abound and superabound in agape toward one another and toward all, even as also me toward you. May He sterixai your hearts, blameless in hagiosune [holiness, purity], before our Theos and Father and in front of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, with all his Hagioi [holy ones, sacred ones, consecrated ones, saints].

4 Finally then, brothers, we request of you and parakaloumen you in the Kurios Jesus, even as you received from us how it is necessary to walk and to please Theos in order that you superabound the more. For you know what commands we gave to you via the Kurios Jesus. For this is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of Theos, your purification: for you to abstain from porneia [whoring, incest, non-marital sexual intercourse], for each one of you knows how to possess his own vessel [body] in hagiasmos and time [value, esteem], NOT in passion of forbidden desire as the ethnoi NOT knowing Theos. NOT shall you climb over or be covetous of your brother in a deed because the Kurios is the Ekdikos [One meting out justice] concerning all these as indeed we earnestly testified and forewarned you. For Theos NOT called us to impurity, but in hagiasmos. So those despising you, NOT despise man but Theos, the One giving His Hagios Pneuma to You.

4.9 Now, as to philadelphias [brotherly love] I needed to write to you, for (in fact) you yourselves are taught by Theos to agape one another for you to do it toward all the brothers in Macedonia. We encourage you, brothers, to superabound the more and to eagerly be at peace; practice and work with your own hands (as we commanded you) in order that you may walk properly to outsiders, and you may NOT have need of even one thing.

4.13 I don’t want you to be ignorant with respect to those sleeping [having passed on], lest you grieve as also the rest do, NOT having elpis. For if we pisteuo [put our faith in] that Jesus died and stood up again, so Theos will also bring with Him [Jesus] those who have been put to sleep via Jesus. For this we say to you (in a logos of the Kurios), that we (remaining living until the coming of the Kurios) NOT (in NO way) may go ahead of those having been put to sleep because the Kurios Himself will descend from the ouranos [the sky, the heavens] in a rallying cry in the phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] of an archaggelos [chief messenger, chief angel] and with a trumpet of Theos. And first the dead in the Christos will stand up again, then the living will be caught up together with them (in the cloudiness) to a meeting of the Kurios in the air. And so, we will always be with the Kurios. So also comfort one another with these logoi.

5 Brothers! You have NO need to be written concerning the times and occasions for you yourselves know that the day of the Kurios, as a thief in the night, so it comes. For when they say, Peace and security, then destruction unexpectedly comes upon them as birth pain to the pregnant woman and they may NOT (in NO way) escape. But you aren’t in shadiness, brothers, such that the day should seize you as a thief. All of you are sons of the Rays [Light] and sons of the day. We aren’t of shadiness, therefore let’s NOT sleep as the rest but let us be vigilant and be sober. For those sleeping, sleep by night and those getting drunk, are drunk at night. Since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the corselet [body armor] of pistis and of agape and a helmet of elpis of soteria [rescue, safety, salvation]. For Theos NOT placed us prostrate into orge but for acquisition of soteria via our Kurios Jesus, the Christos (the One having died on our behalf) in order that whether we keep awake [live] or we sleep [die], we may live together with Him. So, parakaleite one another and be a builder up one to the other as indeed you do.

5.12 Brothers! We ask you eidenai [to know, to perceive] those laboring among you (presiding over you in the Kurios, admonishing you) and eleistha [to deem, to consider, to esteem] them most exceedingly in agape because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves! We parakaloumen [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] you, brothers, noutheteite [to put in mind, to caution, to warn] the insubordinate, console the faint-hearted, care for the weak, be longsuffering toward all. See that NOT even one person returns kakon [worthless] for kakou [worthless] to anyone but always pursue the good both toward one another and toward all. Always rejoice! Continually proseuchesthe [humbly beg God, pray]! Eucharisteite [Gratefully give thanks] in all for this is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of Theos (in Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]) to you. Don’t quench the Hagios Pneuma! Don’t despise propheteia! [inspired speech, prophesy] Test everything; firmly hold the kalos [beautiful, virtuous]; keep back from every form of ponerou [hurtful].

5.23 May the Theos of peace Himself make you absolutely, perfectly hagios, perfectly sound in your pneuma and that your psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] and your soma [body] may be faultlessly kept in the return of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos. He calling you is worthy of your pistis Who also will do the fulfilling of your call.

5.25 Brothers! proseuchesthe concerning us! Hug all the brothers with an hagios kiss. Brothers! I command you by the Kurios to read this letter to all the hagioi.

5.28 The charis [graciousness] of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, be with you all. Amen!

Second Letter to the Christians at Thessalonica from the Apostolos Paul -- A.D. 50

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the ekklesia [assembly, church] of the Thessalonians in Father Theos and the Kurios Jesus, the Christos: Charis [graciousness] to you and peace from Theos our Father and the Kurios Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ].

1.3 We ought always to eucharistein [gratefully give thanks] to Theos concerning you, brothers, as it is due because your pistis [faith, reliance] exceedingly grows and multiplies the agape of each and every one of you to one another, so much so as for us to boast ourselves in you in [among] the ekklesiai of Theos for your endurance [constancy] and pistis in all your stress that you endure. A clear indication of the dikaios [equitable, just, right] kriseths [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] of Theos is for you to be deemed entirely deserving of the Kingdom of Theos (for which, indeed, you suffer); since it’s a dikaios act from beside Theos to requite to those squeezing you, stress, and to you (those being squeezed) rest, with us, at the revelation of our Kurios Jesus from ouranos [the sky, the heavens] with aggeloi [messengers, angels] of His dunamis [force, power] in flaming fire, giving full ekdikesin [retribution] to those NOT knowing Theos and to those NOT heeding the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos. They will pay the penalty (eternal death away from the face of the Kurios and away from the glory of His might), when He comes to be glorified in His hagioi [holy ones, sacred ones, consecrated ones, saints] and to be admired in all those pisteuousin [putting their faith in] Jesus in that Day. This is because you episteurthe [put your faith] in our testimony to you. Indeed, we constantly proseuchometh [humbly beg God, pray] concerning you that you may be deemed suitable for the calling of our Theos and may fulfill every satisfaction of goodness and work of pistis in dunamis such that the name of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, may be glorified in you and you in Him down to the charis of our Theos and Kurios Jesus, the Christos.

2 Brothers! we ask you over the coming of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, and our gathering together to Him, NOT to waver in the nous [intellect, mind, understanding]; NOT to be frightened NEITHER via pneuma [wind, breath, spirit] NOR via logos [word] NOR via letter (as if from me) as if the Day of the Christos is come. Let NOT even one person deceive you NOT (in NO way) because unless the apostasia [defection from the truth, apostasy] comes first and the man of hamartia [misses of the mark or goal, error, offense, sin] is revealed (the son of destruction, he who is opposite to Theos and is exalting himself over everything relating to Theos or object of worship), to sit down in the Temple of Theos, as if Theos (showing that he himself is a theos), the Day of the Christos hasn’t come. Don't you remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? And now, you know that one is holding down his being revealed until his set time. For the musterion [secret, mystery] of anomias [lawlessness] is already active. Now, he is merely holding him down until it comes into being emergent from the middle. Then the anomos [lawless one] will be revealed, whom the Kurios will destroy by the pneumati [breaths, spirits] of His mouth and katargesei [render him entirely idle or useless] by the manifestation of Himself at His return; of whom [him, the lawless one] is the parousia [coming] down of the energeian [efficiency, energy] of Satanas in all dunamis [force, power] of pseudes [false, deceitful, pseudo] semeia [signs, indications] and terasi [wonders] and with all unjust delusions in the lost because they NOT received the agape of the truth, whereby they might sothenai [be made safe, be saved]. Because of their rejection of the truth, Theos will send to them fraudulent energeian for them to pisteusai [to put their faith in], pseudes [falsehoods, lies] in order that all those NOT pisteusantes in the truth but having approved injustice, may be condemned.

2.13 I ought always eucharistein Theos concerning you, brothers, egapemeoi [having been unconditionally loved] by the Kurios, because Theos chose you from the beginning to soteria [rescue, safety, salvation] in hagiasmos of the Hagios Pneuma and conviction of the truth to which He called you, via my euaggelion, to acquisition of the glory of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos. So then, stand firm, brothers, and firmly grip the transmittals that you were taught either by logos or by a letter of mine.

2.16 May our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, Himself and our Theos and Father (the One agapesas [unconditionally loving] us and giving perpetual paraklesin [imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, solace] and a good elpis [expectation, hope] in charis [graciousness]) encourage your hearts and sterizo [securely set as in concrete, make steadfast] yourselves in every logos and good work.

3 For the rest, brothers, proseuchomai [humbly beg God, pray] concerning me that the logos of the Kurios will briskly move and be rendered glorious as indeed it is with you and in order that I may be rescued from perverse and poneron [hurtful] men for the pistis isn’t in the whole of humanity. But the Kurios is worthy of pistis, Who sterizo you and isolates [guards] you from the ponerou [hurtful] one. I am convinced (in the Kurios) as to you that whatever I command you, you both do and will do. May the Kurios guide your hearts into the agape of Theos and into the cheerful constancy of the Christos.

3.6 I command you, brothers, in the name [authority] of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos: pull away from every brother walking irregularly, that is walking NOT according to the transmittals that you received from me. For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate me because I wasn’t disorderly in you NOR ate bread as a gift from anyone but in toil and pain, I worked night and day so as NOT to be burdensome to anyone of you. NOT that I didn't have a right to support but that I give you a pattern myself for you to imitate me. For even when I was with you, I commanded this to you: if anyone chooses NOT to work, NOT let him eat. For I hear of some irregularly walking all around in [among] you, NOT working on even one task but meddling. Such we enjoin and parakaloumen [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] via our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, that they silently work for their bread so that they may eat. Brothers! don’t you weaken in living virtuously. If anyone NOT heeds my logos via this letter, label him and don't congregate with him in order that he may be ashamed. Don't consider him an adversary but caution him as a brother.

3.16 May the Kurios of peace, Himself, continually give you peace in every way. The Kurios be with you all.

3.17 I, Paul, write this greeting also with my own hand. This is a distinguishing semeion in every letter; thus, I write. The charis [graciousness] of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos, be with you all. Amen!

Letter to the Christians of Galatia from the Apostolos Paul -- A.D. 53

[NOTE: Galatia, the central region of Asia Minor, became a Roman province in 25 B.C. The people, a mixture of Guals [French Celts] and Greeks [called Gallo-Graeci] were great warriors and mercenaries; plundering their neighbors for subsistence.]

Paul, an apostolos [delegate, ambassador, apostle] (NOT from men, NOT even via man; conversely, via Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], and Father Theos, He having awakened Him emergent from dead) and all those brothers with me to the ekklesia [assembly, church] of Galatia: Charis [Graciousness] and peace to you from Father Theos and from our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, (the One having given Himself over our hamartion [misses of the mark or goal, errors, offenses, sins], however He might tear us out emergent from the present, poerou [hurtful] age down [according] to the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of our Theos and Father), Whose is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen!

1.6 I am amazed that you so quickly are being transported from the One [Holy Spirit] having called you in the chariti [gift, endowment, faculty; deliverance] of the Christou, to heteron [another of a different kind] euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] that isn’t else [another] euaggelion of the same kind. There are merely some men troubling you and wanting to pervert the euaggelion of the Christou. Conversely, if even I or an aggelos [messenger, angel], emergent from Ouranos [Heaven], euaggelizetai [announce good news, evaggelize] to you besides what I eueggelisametha to you, let him be accursed. As I have just said, now I say again, if anyone euaggelizetai to you an euaggelion besides what you received, let him be accursed. For do I now rely on men or on Theos? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I wouldn’t be a slave of the Christou.

1.11 Now, I make known to you, brothers, the euaggelion euaggelisthen under me that it is NOT down [according] to man. For I NOT received it from man NOR was I taught by man; conversely, via a revelation of Jesus, the Christou. For you heard of my way of life (when in Judaism), that with surpassing zeal I persecuted the ekklesia of Theos; ravaged it and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my race [Jews], being more superabundantly a zealot of my ancestral traditions. Now, at the time, it pleased Theos (He separating me emergent from my mother’s belly and calling me via His charitos) to reveal His Son (in me) in order that I might euaggelizoeai Him in [among] the ethnoi [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles]. I NOT conferred with flesh and blood NOR did I go up to Jerusalem to the chosen-before-me apostoloi [delegates, ambassadors, apostles]; conversely, I went immediately away into Arabia [east of Damascus, Syria; now Iraq] and later returned (again) to Damascus.

1.18 Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to learn from Rock [some texts use Cephas, which is Latin for Rock; Jesus renamed him Kaf, which is Chaldee for Rock; in Greek Rock is Petros; an American transliteration of Petros is Peter] and remained by his side for fifteen days. But I NOT saw any of the others of the apostoloi except James Bar Joseph, the half-brother of the Kuriou. Now, what I write to you, LO! I say in front of the face of Theos that I NOT lie. Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. Now, I was known by face to the Ekklesia in the Christo of Judea. Now, they were only hearing that the one persecuting us Christians then, now euaggelizetai the euaggelion, the pistis [faith] which then [earlier] he had ravaged, and they glorified Theos in me.

2 Then, via [after] fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Joses [Aid] Bar Nabas and also taking along Titus [Honorable]. Now, I went up, down to [because of] a revelation and I put before them the euaggelion that I kerusso [proclaim, herald] in [among] the ethnoi but privately to those seeming to be pillars lest somehow (leaping into vanity) I run, or I ran. Conversely, NOT even Titus (he with me, being a Greek) was compelled to be circumcised. But the idea that gentiles should be circumcised was smuggled in via [by] those pseudadelphos [false brothers], who stole in to spy on our freedom that we have in Jesus, the Christo. They desire utterly to enslave us, to whom we NOT yielded in subjection to them for even an hour in order that the truth of the euaggelion might continue with you. Now, of what kind these seeming-to-be something were, NOT matters to me. Theos doesn’t accept the face of man. For those seeming important NOT imparted even one truth to me. Conversely, knowing that I have been entrusted with the euaggelion of the uncircumcision, even as Rock has been to the circumcision, for the One working in Rock to an apostolate of the circumcision also worked in me to an apostolate of the ethne. And knowing of the charin given to me, James Bar Joseph and Rock and John [Gift of God] Bar Zebedee (those seeming to be pillars) gave to me and to Joses Bar Nabas the right hands of koinonias [sharing, partnership] in order that we go to the ethne, but they go to the circumcision. They asked only that we might remember the poor, the same thing I was indeed eager to do.

2.11 Now, when Rock came to Antioch, Syria I opposed him to his face because he was to be found at fault. For before the coming of some from James, he ate with the ethnon but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, being afraid of those emergent from the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews hupostello [withheld under {out of sight}, covered or shrank back] with him, so that even Joses Bar Nabas was led away with their hupokrisei [deceit, hypocrisy]. Conversely, when I saw that they NOT walked straight footed beside the truth of the euaggelion, I said to Rock (in front of all), "If you (being a Jew) did live as a NON-Jew and NOT judaically, why do you show the ethne how to become Judaean?" We natural Jews (NOT being hamartoloi NON-Jews) are knowing that a man isn’t dikaioutai [rendered just, justified] emergent from working at law, if NOT [but] via pistis in Jesus, the Christou. We even had pistis into Jesus, the Christou, in order that we may be dikaiothomen [rendered just, justified] emergent from pistis in the Christou and NOT emergent from working law on the very account that all [NO] flesh dikaiothomen [will be justified] emergent from working law. Now, if we, seeking to be dikaiothenai in the Christo, ourselves are found to be hamartoloi, is then the Christos a servant of hamartias? Let it NOT be caused to be! For if I rebuild the things I have destroyed, I establish myself as a parabates [one going contrary to; a violator]. For via law, I died to law in order that I might live to Theos. I have been crucified with the Christo, but I live; but [yet] NO longer I for the Christos lives in me. For the life, that I now live in the flesh, I live in pistis to the Son of Theos; He agapesantos [unconditionally loving] me and surrendering over Himself on my behalf. I NOT set aside the charin of Theos. For if dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness] comes via working law, then the Christos died for NOT even one thing.

3 O foolish Galatians! who bewitched you NOT to be convinced of the truth, to whom Jesus the Christos was previously written; crucified before your very eyes? Only this do I want to learn from you, did you receive the Hagios Pneuma emergent from working law or of pistis emergent from hearing? Are you so foolish, having begun in the Hagios Pneuma, do you now finish in the flesh? Vainly suffered you so much (if indeed vainly)? Is it emergent from working law or of pistis emergent from hearing that He is fully supplying the Hagios Pneuma to you and active in you in dunameis [forces, powers, or works of power]? Just as Abraham had pistis in Theos and it was credited to him so much as dikaiosunen:

GENESIS 15.6 …and he, Abraham, trusted in YHWH and He credited it to him for tasadaqua [dikaiosune].

Know then that those emergent from pistis, these are the sons of Abraham. Now, foreseeing the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] that Theos dikaioi [would render just] the ethne emergent from pistis, He announced the euaggelion in advance, to Abraham, "...that all ethne will be blest in you."

GENESIS 12.3 [Adonay {Kurios} speaking], "... and in you shall all the families [tribes] of the earth be blest."

So also, those emergent from pistis are blest with the pistos [trustworthy, faithful] Abraham, for as many as are emergent from working The Law are under a curse for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who NOT continues in all the works having been written in the Biblos [Sheet, Roll, Scroll] of The Law to do them."

DEUTERONOMY 27.26 "Cursed is he who doesn’t carry out the dabar [logos] of this Torah [Pentateuch, The Law] to do them."

Now, that NO one is dikaioutai before Theos in The Law is clear because the dikaios one will live emergent from pistis.

HABAKKUK 2.4 "LO! the upright isn’t swelled in his nephesh [psuche in Greek; soul, life, psyche, ego in American] but the upright shall live by his emuwnan [pistis]."

Now, The Law isn’t emergent from pistis; conversely, the man doing these things shall live in them.

LEVITICUS 18.5 [YHWH speaking] My decrees shall you do, and My statutes shall you keep; to walk in them.

The Christos redeemed us emergent from the curse of The Law, having been caused to be a curse for us. For it has been written, "Cursed are all who have been hanged on timber."

DEUTERONOMY 21.23 "…for he that is hanged on timber is to Elohiym [Theoi, the Trinity] accursed;"

This has happened in order that the eulogia [fine speaking, commendation, blessing, eulogy] of Abraham to the ethne might be caused to come into being in Jesus, the Christo, in order that we might receive the epaggelian [announcement, proclamation, promise] of the Hagios Pneuma via pistis.

3.15 Brothers! down to man I say, NOT even one man sets aside or adds to even a covenant being ratified by man. Now, to Abraham were spoken the epaggelian and to his Sperma [Descendant, Seed, Sperm]. It NOT says, and to the spermai [descendants], as to many, but merely as over One: … and to your Sperma, (Who is the Christos).

GENESIS 13.15 [YHWH speaking] "I will make your zera [spermai] as the dust of the earth."

GENESIS 22.18 [YHWH speaking] "… surely, I will multiply your zera as the stars of the skies and the sand which is on the lip of the sea. Your Zera [Jesus, the Christ] shall own the gate of His enemies. All the gowy [ethnoi] of the earth shall be blest in your Zera …"

This I say, a covenant previously ratified under Theos into the Christou isn’t annulled by The Law (coming into being 430 years later), as to abolish the epaggelian. For if the inheritance is emergent from The Law, NO longer is it emergent from epaggelian. But Theos has given it to Abraham via epaggelias. Why then exists The Law? It was added because of the parabasis [going contrary to, violating], being instituted via aggeloi [messengers, angels], resting in a go-between’s hand until the Sperma should come, upon Whom the epaggelian epeggeltai [was announced, was proclaimed, was promised]. Now, the go-between [Moses] isn’t first but Theos is First. Is then The Law against the epaggelian of Theos? Let it NOT be caused to be! For if a law had been given that was able to make alive, indeed dikaiosune would have been emergent from that law. Conversely, now the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] has subjected everyone under hamartian in order that the epagglia emergent from pistis might be given to those having pistis in Jesus, the Christou. Before the coming of pistin, we were being guarded under The Law; having been made subject to the pistin being about to be revealed. So also, The Law has been caused to be our trainer into the Christon in order that we dikaiothomen [might be justified] emergent from pisteos. Now, pisteos having come [arrived], we are NO longer under a trainer. For you are all sons of Theos via pistis in Jesus, the Christo. For as many of you as ebaptisthete [were immersed, were submerged, were baptized] into the Christon, you put on the Christos. There aren’t in you Jews NOR Greeks; there isn’t in you slave NOR freeman [citizen]; there isn’t in you male NOR female; for you are all one in the Christo Jesus. Now, if you are of the Christou, then you are spermai [descendants] of Abraham; even heirs down to epaggelian.

4 Now, I say, over so long a time as the heir is an infant, he differs in NOT even one way from a slave. Although being kurios of the whole of existence, conversely, he is under guardians and managers until the date set (before) by his father. It is the same with us also. When we were infants, we were being enslaved under the system of the kosmos [universe, world, cosmos] but when the period of time was fulfilled, Theos sent forth His Son being caused to come into being emergent from gunaikos [woman]; being caused to come into being under The Law, in order that He might redeem those under The Law, in order that we might receive adoption as sons. Now, you are sons. Now, because you are sons, Theos sent forth the Hagios Pneuma of His Son into your hearts, krazlon [cawing as a raven, shrieking, screaming, crying out] Abba [in Chaldee; Daddy in American] Father. So, you are also NO longer a slave, conversely, a son and if a son also an heir of Theos via the Christou.

4.8 Conversely then, (in fact, NOT knowing Theos) as slaves you served those NOT being by lineal descent theoi [gods]. But now, knowing Theos (but rather being known by Theos), how do [can] you revert again upon the feeble and beggarly system for which you again desire to slave anew? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, lest somehow, I vainly have labored into you.

4.12 I beg of you, brothers, be caused to be as I am, because I am (as it were) you. In NOT even one way wronged you me. Now, you know that via feebleness of flesh I first eueggelisamen the euaggelion to you. And you NOT despised NOR spurned my adversity in my flesh but received me as an aggelos of Theos; as it were Jesus, the Christon, Himself! What then was your makarismos [supreme blessing]? For I testify that if you could have dug out your eyes, you would have given them to me. So, was I then also caused to be an enemy of yours by professing truth to you? They [the Judaizers] zelousin [are hot, have zeal, have ardor, have jealosy, have envy, have malice] for you. Conversely (NOT virtuously), they decide to exclude you in order that you will be zeloute for them. Now, it is always virtuous to be virtuously sought after and NOT merely in [during] my presence with you. My Children! (for whom I again experience birth pains until the Christos should be formed in you), I wanted to be close beside you and to change my phone [sound, tone, voice, noise] with you, because I am at a loss with you.

4.21 Tell me (those desiring to be under The Law), don’t you hear The Law? For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one emergent from the slave-woman [Hagar] and one emergent from the free woman [Sarah]. Conversely in fact, he emergent from the slave-woman has been born down to flesh but he emergent from the free woman has been born via the epaggelias, which same is being allegorized: for these are two covenants. In fact, one is from Mount Sinai [Jebel El Lawz in Midian, now Saudi Arabia] procreating slavery that is of Hagar. For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem. She amidst her children are slaves. But the Jerusalem on the top [above], who is mother of all of us, is free. For it has been written: "Be glad barren woman NOT bearing; give vent to joy and shout, the woman NOT experiencing birth pains because many are the children of the lonesome, more than she possessing the husband."

Isaiah 54.1 "Rejoice! sterile one that you NOT bore; burst out in joyful song and shout; for more are the sons of the devastated one (who NOT experienced birth pains) than the sons of the married," says YHWH.

For in Jesus, the Christo, NEITHER circumcision has any strength NOR has with-foreskin. Conversely, pistis working via agape has the power. You were running well. Who reined you in NOT to obey the truth? The persuasion calling to you isn’t emergent from Him. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I am confident in you (in the Kurio) that you won't entertain even one contrary thing but the one agitating you shall bear the krima [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] whoever he may be. Now, if I still kerusso [proclaim, herald] circumcision, brothers, why am I still persecuted? Then the skandalon [stumbling
