SCRIPTURES

1 We know that our body—the tent we live in here on earth—will be destroyed. But when that happens, YAHUSHA will have a home for us to live in. It will not be the kind of home people build here. It will be a home in the heaven that will continue forever. 2 But now we grain and are tired of this body. We want YAHUSHA to give us our heavenly home now. 3 It will clothe us and we will not be naked. 4 For while we live in this earthly tent, we have groanings and burdens. I don’t m

1 We are workers together with Alahim. So we beg you: Don’t let the favour that you received from YAHUSHA be for nothing. 2 YAHUSHA says, “I heard you at the right time, and I gave you help on the day of deliverance.” I tell you that the “right time” is now. The “day of deliverance” is now. 3 We don’t want people to find anything wrong with our work and behaviour. So we do nothing that will be a problem to others. 4 But in every way we show that we are servants of YAHUSHA.

1 Dear friends, we have these promises from YAHUSHA. So we should make ourselves pure—free from anything that makes our body or our being unclean. Our respect for Alahim should make us try to be completely Set-Apart in the way we live. 2 Open your hearts to us. We have not done wrong to anyone or caused harm to anyone. And we have not cheated anyone. 3 I do not say this to blame you. I told you before that we love you so much we would live or die with you. 4 I feel that I can

1 And now, brothers and sisters, we want to tell you what YAHUSHA’S favour has done in the Assembly in Macedonia. 2 These believers have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But their great joy caused them to be very generous in their giving. 3 I can tell you that they gave as much as they were able and even more than they could afford. No one told them to do this. It was their idea. 4 But they asked us again and again—they begged us to let them share in thi

1 I really don’t need to write to you about this help for YAHUSHA’S people. 2 I know that you want to help. I have been bragging about you to the people in Macedonia. I told them that you people in Achaia have been ready to give since last year. And your desire to give has made most of the people here ready to give also. 3 But I am sending these brothers to you. I don’t want our bragging about you in this to be for nothing. I want you to be ready just as I said you would be.

1 I Paul, am begging you with the gentleness and the kindness of Messiah. Some say that I am bold when I am writing you from a distance, but not when I am there with you. 2 They think our motives for what we do are like those of the world. I plan to be very bold against those people when I come. I hope I will not need to use that same boldness with you. 3 3For though we walk in fleshly bodies, we do not fight according to the flesh. 4For the weapons we fight with are not fles

1 I wish you would be patient with me even when I am a little foolish. But you are already patient with me. 2 I am jealous for you with a jealousy that comes from YAHUSHA. I promised to give you to Messiah. He must be your only husband. I want to give you to Messiah to be his pure Bride. 3 But I am afraid that your minds will be led away from your true and pure following of Messiah. This could happen just as Eve was tricked by that serpent with his clever lies. 4 You seem to

1 There is more that I have to say about myself. It won’t help, but I will talk now about visions and revelations from the Master. 2 I know a man in Messiah who was taken up to the third heaven. This happened 14 years ago. I don’t know if the man was in his body or out of his body, but YAHUSHA knows. 3-4 And I know that this man was taken up to paradise. I don’t know if he was in his body or away from his body, but he heard things that he is not able to explain. He heard thin

1 This will be my third time to visit you. And remember, “For every complaint there must be two or three witnesses to say that they know it’s true.” 2 When I was with you the second time, I gave a warning to those who had sinned. I am not there now, but I am giving another warning to them and to anyone else who has sinned: When I come to you again, I will punish you. 3 You want proof that Messiah is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak in dealing with you but
