¹⁵ And he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], saying,

¹⁶ From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

¹⁷ `And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

¹⁸ and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

¹⁹ only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.

²⁰ `And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

⁴ for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing [it],

⁵ for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,

⁶ and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.
