Book of Common Prayer

⁷ But be declining^[a] the profane^[b] and old-womanish myths.

But You Be Training Yourself For Godliness In Your Character And Teaching

But be training^[c] yourself for godliness. ⁸ For bodily training is profitable for a little, but godliness is profitable for all things— having promise for the present life and the one coming. ⁹ The saying is trustworthy and worthy of full acceptance. ¹⁰ For we are laboring and struggling^[d] for this^[e], because we have put our hope upon the living God, Who is the Savior of all people— especially of believers. ¹¹ Be commanding and teaching these things. ¹² Let no one be-looking-down-on^[f] your youth, but be a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Until I come^[g], be paying-attention-to the reading^[h], the exhortation, the teaching. ¹⁴ Do not be careless^[i] of the gift in you, which was given to you through a prophecy with the laying-on of the hands of the council-of-elders. ¹⁵ Be taking-care-with these things, be in these things, in order that your progress may be evident to everyone. ¹⁶ Be fixing-your-attention-on yourself and your teaching. Be continuing in them. For while doing this, you will save both yourself and the ones hearing you.

⁴⁷ The one being of ^[a] God hears the words of God. For this reason you are not hearing— because you are not of God”.

I Am Honoring My Father. If You Keep My Word, You Will Never See Death

⁴⁸ The Jews responded and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan^[b] and have a demon?” ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I am honoring My Father, and you are dishonoring Me. ⁵⁰ But I am not seeking My glory. There is the One seeking it, and judging. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you— if anyone keeps My word, he will never^[c] see death, ever”.

You Do Not Know God, But I Do. And Abraham Was Glad When He Saw My Day

⁵² So the Jews said to Him, “Now we have come-to-know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets! And You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death, ever!’ ⁵³ You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets died also. Whom do You make Yourself ?” ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. The One glorifying Me is My Father— Whom you say that ‘He is our God’. ⁵⁵ And you have not come-to-know Him, but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you. But I know Him, and I am keeping His word. ⁵⁶ Abraham your father rejoiced-greatly to see My day. And he saw it, and was glad”.

Before Abraham Was, I Am. Hearing This, They Picked Up Stones To Kill Jesus

⁵⁷ So the Jews said to Him, “You do not yet have fifty years, and You have seen Abraham?” ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you— before Abraham came-into-being^[d], I am^[e]”. ⁵⁹ Therefore they picked up stones in order that they might throw them at Him. But Jesus was hidden^[f], and went out of the temple.
