¶ Nan senkyèm jou sizyèm mwa nan sizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp la, mwen te chita lakay mwen ansanm ak chèf pèp Jida yo ki te reyini lakay mwen. Mwen rete konsa mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye Sèl Mèt la, desann sou mwen.

Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun. Depi nan ren l' desann, kò l' te tankou yon flanm dife. Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere tankou kwiv byen poli.

Mwen wè l' lonje men l' tankou men yon moun, li pran m' nan cheve. Nan vizyon an, li leve m' byen wo nan syèl la, li mennen m' lavil Jerizalèm, devan pòtay anndan ki bay sou bò nò a, kote yo te mete yon estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè.

La, mwen wè yon gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te la, menm jan mwen te wè l' nan fon an.

Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Vire je ou gade bò nan nò! Mwen vire je m' gade bò nan nò. Mwen wè toupre lotèl ki bò pòtay kote moun pase pou antre a, estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè a.

Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa y'ap fè? Gade tout bagay derespektan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè pou yo fè m' kite tanp mwen an. Ou gen pou wè bagay ki pi mal pase sa toujou.

¶ Li pran m', li mennen m' nan pòtay ki bay sou lakou anndan an, li moutre m' yon twou nan miray la.

Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Fè yon gwo twou nan miray la. Mwen fè gwo twou a. Lèfini, mwen jwenn yon pòt.

Li di m' konsa: -Louvri pòt la antre! Gade tout kalite vye bagay derespektan moun sa yo ap fè la a!

10 Mwen antre, mwen gade. Tout miray la nèt te kouvri ak pòtre koulèv, pòtre tout kalite bèt yo pa gen dwa manje ak pòtre lòt vye zidòl moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap sèvi.

11 Swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te kanpe la devan zidòl yo. Yonn ladan yo te Jazanya, pitit Chafan an. Yo chak te kenbe yon lansanswa nan men yo. Gwo lafimen lansan t'ap moute.

12 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè an kachèt? Yo rete ap fè sèvis nan yon chanm kay plen zidòl. Men eskiz yo bay: O wi! Bondye pa wè nou! Bondye vire do l' bay peyi a!

13 ¶ Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Ou gen pou wè yo ap fè bagay ki pi derespektan toujou.

14 Lè sa a, li mennen m' bò pòtay nò tanp lan, li moutre m' yon bann fanm ki chita ap kenbe yon rèl lanmò pou zidòl yo rele Tamouz la.

15 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Ou wè sa, pa vre? Ou gen pou ou wè gwo bagay pi derespektan ankò y'ap fè.

16 Li mennen m' nan lakou anndan tanp lan. Mwen wè vennsenk nèg konsa kanpe bò pòt pou antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, nan mitan lotèl la ak galeri a. Yo te bay tanp lan do. Fas yo vire bò solèy leve. Yo bese tèt yo byen ba, y'ap fè sèvis pou solèy la k'ap leve.

17 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa? Moun peyi Jida sa yo ap fè tout vye bagay derespektan y'ap plede fè yo. Y'ap mache fè mechanste nan tout peyi a. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, se pou yo vini jouk isit la nan tanp lan pou fè yo, pou yo fè m' pi move toujou. Men y'ap fè move jès pou derespekte m', yo mete yon ti branch bwa anba nen yo.

18 Mwen menm tou mwen pral fè yo santi jan mwen move sou yo. Yo mèt rele byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen p'ap tande yo. Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo. Yo mèt rele jan yo vle nan zòrèy mwen, mwen p'ap pran priyè.

¶ Apre sa, mwen tande Bondye pale byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Li di konsa: -Pwoche non, nou tout ki pral pini lavil la. Pwoche ak zam nou nan men nou!

Lamenm, sis gason parèt nan pòtay ki bay sou nò nan lakou tanp lan. Yo chak te gen yon zam nan men yo. Nan mitan yo te gen yon nonm ak yon rad twal fin tou blan sou li. Li te gen yon poban lank mare nan ren l'. Yo antre, yo kanpe bò lotèl an kwiv la.

Lè sa a, gwo bèl limyè ki make prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la soti anwo tèt bèt vivan yo kote l' te ye a, li deplase, li al rete nan papòt pou antre nan tanp lan. Seyè a rele nonm ak rad twal fin blan an ki te gen poban lank mare nan ren l' lan.

Li di l' konsa: -Ale nan tout lavil Jerizalèm. Mete yon mak sou fwon tout moun w'a wè k'ap plenn, ki nan gwo lapenn pou tout vye bagay derespektan k'ap fèt nan lavil la.

¶ Mwen tande li di lòt mesye yo: -Mache dèyè l' nan tout lavil la. Epi touye! Pa gen pitye pou pesonn. Pa kite pesonn chape!

Touye ni granmoun, ni jenn gason, ni jenn fi, ni fanm, ni timoun. Men, pa manyen moun ki gen mak sou fwon yo. Konmanse depi nan tanp mwen an. Yo konmanse ak chèf fanmi ki te kanpe nan Tanp lan.

Bondye di yo: -Derespekte Tanp lan! Plen lakou a kadav. Ale non! Se konsa yo konmanse touye moun nan lavil la.

Pandan yo t'ap touye moun yo, mwen te rete pou kont mwen. Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen atè, mwen rele byen fò: -Wouy! Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la, èske ou pral touye tout rès pèp Izrayèl la, paske nan kòlè ou ou soti pou pini lavil Jerizalèm?

Li reponn mwen: -Moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo fè anpil wi! Se san k'ap koule toupatou nan peyi a. Lavil Jerizalèm plen moun k'ap fè lenjistis. Y'ap plede di mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen vire do bay peyi a, mwen pa wè yo.

10 Enben, mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo, mwen p'ap fè pa yo. M'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè.

11 Apre sa, nonm ki te gen rad twal fin tou blan sou li a ak poban lank mare nan ren l' lan tounen. Li fè rapò l' bay Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Mwen fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè a.

10 ¶ Mwen gade gwo bòl kristal ki te sou tèt kat bèt vivan yo. Anwo yo, mwen wè yon bagay ou ta di yon gwo fotèy fèt an pyè safi.

Bondye pale ak nonm ki te gen rad twal fin tou blan an. Li di l' konsa: -Antre nan fant ki nan mitan wou yo, anba bèt vivan yo. Pran yon ponyen chabon dife tou limen. Lèfini, gaye yo sou tout lavil la. Mwen wè l' ale vre.

Gwo bèt vivan yo te kanpe sou bò sid tanp lan lè li antre a. Yon gwo nwaj anvayi tout lakou anndan tanp lan.

Bèl limyè prezans Seyè a leve anwo tèt bèt vivan yo, li al kanpe nan papòt tanp lan. Nwaj la anvayi tout tanp lan. Lakou a menm te klere ak gwo limyè prezans Seyè a.

Yo te ka tande bri zèl bèt vivan yo jouk nan lakou deyò a. Se te tankou vwa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a lè l'ap pale.

Lè Seyè a te bay nonm ak rad twal fin blan an lòd pou l' te al pran chabon dife nan mitan wou yo ki anba bèt vivan yo, nonm lan ale, li kanpe toupre yonn nan wou yo.

Yonn nan bèt vivan yo lonje men l' nan dife ki te nan mitan yo a, li pran kèk chabon dife, li mete yo nan men nonm ak rad twal fin blan an. Nonm lan pran chabon dife yo, li soti.

¶ Lè sa a, mwen wè bèt vivan yo te gen yon bagay ki te sanble ak men moun anba zèl yo.

Mwen gade, mwen wè te gen kat wou, yonn bò kote chak bèt vivan yo. Wou yo te klere tankou pyè krizolit.

10 Chak wou te gen yon lòt wou antravè nan mitan yo. Kat wou yo te gen menm fòm.

11 Lè bèt vivan yo ap mache, yo te gen dwa pran nenpòt ki direksyon san yo pa bezwen vire. Yo te mache ansanm nan direksyon yo te vle ale, san yo pa t' bezwen vire.

12 Yo te gen je sou tout kò yo, nan do yo, sou tout men yo, nan zèl yo. Te gen je sou tout kat wou yo tou.

13 Wou yo te tankou wou mwen te wè nan premye vizyon mwen an. Mwen tande yo te rele wou yo Toubouyon.

14 Chak gwo bèt vivan yo te gen kat figi. Premye figi gwo bèt vivan yo te tankou tèt yon towo bèf, dezyèm lan tankou tèt yon moun, twazyèm lan tankou tèt yon lyon, katriyèm lan tankou tèt yon malfini.

15 Se te menm bèt mwen te wè bò larivyè Keba a. Lè yo vole anlè,

16 y'ap deplase, wou yo deplase ansanm avèk yo tou. Lè yo louvri zèl yo pou yo vole, wou yo vole ansanm ak yo tou.

17 Lè bèt vivan yo rete an plas, wou yo rete an plas tou. Lè bèt vivan yo vole, wou yo vole ak yo tou, paske se gwo bèt vivan yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.

18 Lè sa a, bèl limyè prezans Seyè a soti bò papòt tanp lan, li al kanpe anwo bèt vivan yo.

19 Bèt vivan yo louvri zèl yo. Yo vole soti sou tè a devan je m'. Epi wou yo vole ale ak yo tou. Y' al poze sou papòt pòtay tanp Seyè a ki bay sou bò solèy leve. Bèl limyè prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te anlè yo.

20 Mwen rekonèt se te menm bèt vivan mwen te wè anba Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bò larivyè Keba.

21 Yo chak te gen kat figi, kat zèl ak yon fòm men moun anba chak zèl.

22 Figi yo se te menm figi mwen te wè bò larivyè Keba a. Chak bèt vivan t'ap mache dwat devan yo.

Idolatry in the Temple

In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my house and the elders(A) of Judah were sitting before(B) me, the hand of the Sovereign Lord came on me there.(C) I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man.[a] From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal.(D) He stretched out what looked like a hand(E) and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up(F) between earth and heaven and in visions(G) of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court,(H) where the idol that provokes to jealousy(I) stood. And there before me was the glory(J) of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.(K)

Then he said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol(L) of jealousy.

And he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the utterly detestable(M) things the Israelites are doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary?(N) But you will see things that are even more detestable.”

Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.

And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls(O) all kinds of crawling things and unclean(P) animals and all the idols of Israel.(Q) 11 In front of them stood seventy elders(R) of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer(S) in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense(T) was rising.(U)

12 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness,(V) each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see(W) us; the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 Again, he said, “You will see them doing things that are even more detestable.”

14 Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and I saw women sitting there, mourning the god Tammuz.(X) 15 He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.”

16 He then brought me into the inner court(Y) of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar,(Z) were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun(AA) in the east.(AB)

17 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the people of Judah to do the detestable things(AC) they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence(AD) and continually arouse my anger?(AE) Look at them putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will deal with them in anger;(AF) I will not look on them with pity(AG) or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen(AH) to them.”

Judgment on the Idolaters

Then I heard him call out in a loud voice, “Bring near those who are appointed to execute judgment on the city, each with a weapon in his hand.” And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen(AI) who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar.

Now the glory(AJ) of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim,(AK) where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem(AL) and put a mark(AM) on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament(AN) over all the detestable things that are done in it.(AO)

As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity(AP) or compassion.(AQ) Slaughter(AR) the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children,(AS) but do not touch anyone who has the mark.(AT) Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men(AU) who were in front of the temple.(AV)

Then he said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain.(AW) Go!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown,(AX) crying out, “Alas, Sovereign Lord!(AY) Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath(AZ) on Jerusalem?(BA)

He answered me, “The sin of the people of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.(BB) They say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see.’(BC) 10 So I will not look on them with pity(BD) or spare them, but I will bring down on their own heads what they have done.(BE)

11 Then the man in linen with the writing kit at his side brought back word, saying, “I have done as you commanded.”

God’s Glory Departs From the Temple

10 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne(BF) of lapis lazuli(BG) above the vault(BH) that was over the heads of the cherubim.(BI) The Lord said to the man clothed in linen,(BJ) “Go in among the wheels(BK) beneath the cherubim. Fill(BL) your hands with burning coals(BM) from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.

Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord(BN) rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice(BO) of God Almighty[b] when he speaks.(BP)

When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels,(BQ) from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel. Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire(BR) that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out. (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)(BS)

I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.(BT) 10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about[c] as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went. 12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes,(BU) as were their four wheels.(BV) 13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.” 14 Each of the cherubim(BW) had four faces:(BX) One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,(BY) and the fourth the face of an eagle.(BZ)

15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures(CA) I had seen by the Kebar River.(CB) 16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side. 17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.(CC)

18 Then the glory(CD) of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.(CE) 19 While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them.(CF) They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory(CG) of the God of Israel was above them.

20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River,(CH) and I realized that they were cherubim. 21 Each had four faces(CI) and four wings,(CJ) and under their wings was what looked like human hands. 22 Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River.(CK) Each one went straight ahead.

13 ¶ Se pou nou toujou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la.

Chonje se devwa nou pou nou byen resevwa moun ki vin lakay nou. Se konsa, gen moun ki resevwa zanj Bondye lakay yo san yo pa konn sa.

Pa bliye moun ki nan prizon yo, tankou si nou menm tou nou te nan prizon ansanm ak yo. Pa bliye moun y'ap maltrete yo, paske nou menm tou nou gen yon kò.

Maryaj se yon bagay tout moun dwe respekte anpil. Moun ki marye yo dwe rete fidèl yonn ak lòt. Bondye gen pou jije moun k'ap mennen movèz vi yo ansanm ak moun k'ap fè adiltè yo.

Pa kite renmen lajan pran nanm nou. Se pou nou kontan ak sa nou genyen. Paske Bondye te di: Mwen p'ap janm vire do ba ou, mwen p'ap janm lage ou.

Konsa, nou kapab di avèk konfyans: Se Bondye k'ap vin ede mwen. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa moun ka fè mwen?

Pa bliye moun ki te konn dirije nou yo, moun ki te fè nou konnen pawòl Bondye a. Egzaminen jan yo te viv, jan yo te mouri. Pran egzanp sou konfyans yo.

Jezikri se menm moun lan ayè, jòdi a ak pou tout tan.

Pa kite tout kalite lòt pawòl moun ap moutre yo fè nou pèdi bon chemen an. Li pi bon pou kè nou lè fòs nou pa soti nan sa nou manje ak sa nou pa manje, men nan renmen Bondye gen pou nou an. Paske moun k'ap gade sou manje pa janm jwenn okenn benefis.

10 Nou gen yon lotèl ki pa nou. Prèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp jwif yo pa gen dwa manje nan vyann ofrann bèt nou fè sou lotèl sa a.

11 Lè y'ap fè ofrann bèt pou touye pou peche yo, se san an ase granprèt jwif la pote pou ofri nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Men, yo boule kò bèt yo lòt bò pòtay lakou kote moun yo rete a.

12 Se poutèt sa, Jezi te mouri lòt bò pòtay lavil la, pou l' te ka mete pèp la nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye ak pwòp san pa li ki te koule.

13 Nou menm tou, ann soti al jwenn li lòt bò pòtay lakou a pou n' soufri menm wont la ansanm ak li.

14 Paske nou pa gen sou latè yon lavil ki la pou tout tan. N'ap chache lavil ki gen pou vini an.

15 Gremesi Jezikri, sèl ofrann san n'ap ofri bay Bondye a, se lwanj n'ap ba li tout tan. Se tout tan pou non l' nan bouch nou.

16 Pa bliye, se pou nou fè sa ki byen, se pou nou yonn ede lòt. Se ofrann konsa ki fè Bondye plezi.

17 Obeyi chèf nou yo, soumèt devan yo. Se tout tan y'ap veye sou nanm nou paske yo gen pou yo rann Bondye kont pou travay yo. Si nou obeyi yo, y'a fè travay yo ak kè kontan. Men, si nou pa obeyi yo, y'a fè l' ak kè sere. Lè sa a, p'ap gen okenn avantaj pou nou.

18 ¶ Pa sispann lapriyè pou mwen. Mwen sèten mwen gen konsyans mwen anpè. Paske mwen vle fè sa ki byen nan tout sikonstans.

19 M'ap mande nou pou nou lapriyè toutespre pou Bondye ban m' okazyon tounen vin jwenn nou anvan lontan.

20 Men sa m'ap mande Bondye pou nou, li menm ki te fè Jezi, Gran Gadò mouton yo, leve soti vivan pami mò yo. Jezi se Seyè nou an ki te mouri pou l' te ka siyen kontra ki la pou tout tan an ak san li.

21 M'ap mande Bondye ki bay kè poze a pou l' fè nou favè sa a, pou nou fè tou sa ki byen, pou n' kapab fè volonte li. M'ap mande l' tou pou l' fè travay ki fè l' plezi nan nou, gremesi Jezikri. Tout lwanj lan pou Jezikri pou tout tan tout tan. Amèn.

22 Tanpri, frè m' yo, m'ap mande nou pou nou koute pawòl ankourajman sa yo ak pasyans, paske sa m' di nan lèt mwen ekri nou an pa long.

23 Mwen vle fè nou konnen yo gen tan lage Timote, frè nou an. Si li rive bònè, m'a pran l' avè m' lè m'ap vin wè nou.

24 Di tout moun k'ap dirije nou yo bonjou ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a. Tout frè ki nan peyi Itali yo voye bonjou pou nou tout.

25 benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.

Concluding Exhortations

13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.(A) Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.(C) Continue to remember those in prison(D) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

Marriage should be honored by all,(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(F) Keep your lives free from the love of money(G) and be content with what you have,(H) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”[a](I)

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”[b](J)

Remember your leaders,(K) who spoke the word of God(L) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(M) their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(N)

Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(O) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(P) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(Q) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(R) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(S) have no right to eat.(T)

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(U) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(V) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(W) to make the people holy(X) through his own blood.(Y) 13 Let us, then, go to him(Z) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(AA) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(AB) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(AC)

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(AD) of praise—the fruit of lips(AE) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(AF) for with such sacrifices(AG) God is pleased.

17 Have confidence in your leaders(AH) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(AI) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

18 Pray for us.(AJ) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(AK) and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.(AL)

Benediction and Final Greetings

20 Now may the God of peace,(AM) who through the blood of the eternal covenant(AN) brought back from the dead(AO) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,(AP) 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will,(AQ) and may he work in us(AR) what is pleasing to him,(AS) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AT)

22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.(AU)

23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy(AV) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

24 Greet all your leaders(AW) and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy(AX) send you their greetings.

25 Grace be with you all.(AY)
