SCRIPTURES

1  Greetings from Paul, a Disciple of MESSIAH YAHUSHA. I am a Disciple because that is what Alahim wanted. To Alahim’s Set-Apart people living in Ephesus, believers who belong to MESSIAH YAHUSHA. 2  favour and peace to you from Alahim our Father and the Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. 3  Praise be to the Alahim and Father of our Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. In Messiah, Alahim has given us every spiritual blessing in Heaven.  4  In Messiah, He chose us before the world was made. He chose u

1  In the past you were spiritually dead because of your sins and the things you did against Alahim.  2  Yes, in the past, your lives were full of those sins. You lived the way the world lives, following the prince of the power of the airwaves. That same spirit is now working in those who refuse to obey Alahim.  3  In the past, all of us lived like that, trying to please our sinful fleshly selves. We did all the things our bodies and minds wanted. Like everyone else in the wo

1  So I, Paul, am a prisoner because I serve MESSIAH YAHUSHA for you who are not Jews, but Gentiles in the flesh.  2  Surely you know that Alahim gave me this work through his favour to help you.  3  Alahim let me know His secret plan by showing it to me.

Be patient and accept each other with love.  3  You are joined together with peace through the Spirit. Do all you can to continue as you are, letting peace hold you together.  4  There is one body and one Spirit, and Alahim chose you to have one hope.  5  There is one Master, one trusting-belief, and one baptism.   6  There

1  You are Alahim’s dear children, so try to be like Him.  2  Live a life of love. Love others just as YAHUSHA loved us. He gave Himself for us—a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to Alahim. 3  But there must be no sexual sin among you. There must not be any kind of evil or selfishly wanting more and more, because such things are not right for Alahim’s Set-Apart people.  4  Also, there must be no evil talk among you. Don’t say things that are foolish or filthy. These are

1  Children, obey your parents the way the Master wants, because this is the right thing to do.  2  The command says, “You must respect your father and mother.”  This is the first command that has a promise with it.  3  And this is the promise: “Then all will go well with you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” 4  Fathers, don’t provoke your children to anger, but raise them with the kind of teaching and training you learn from the Master. 5  Slaves, obey your maste
