FOREWORD TO THE EDITION BY GEORGE A. KIRAZ This volume provides the text of the Pauline Epistles (Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians) according to the Peshiṭta version. The text is taken from the British & Foreign Bible Society (BFBS) edition (1920).1 The text was generated automatically from the Syriac Electronic Data Retrieval Archive (SEDRA)2 and proof read against the BFBS edition. The text of the corpus Paulinum differs only 51 times (Romans, 1/2 Corinthians: 31 times) from the forthcoming critical edition of this corpus based on forty manuscripts.3 The BFBS text is the most reliable of all the editions of the Syriac NT that have been published thus far since the editio princeps of 1555. The BFBS text of the Pauline Epistles is based on seven manuscripts of the fifth– seventh centuries, with very few variants amongst them. In the current edition, the orthography of the text was amended in a few places for purposes of uniformity: 1. Contemporary West Syriac spelling replaced archaic spelling; e.g. ܶ ‫݁ܕ ܺܬ‬ ܶ ‫ ܺܢ‬for BFBS ‫( ܺܢ ܶܚܐ‬Romans 1:17), ‫ܐܒܝܠ‬ ‫ ܺܪ ܳܝܫܐ‬for BFBS ‫( ܺܺܪ ܳܫ ܺܐ‬Romans 4:1), ‫ܐܚܐ‬ for BFBS ‫( ݁ܕܬ ܶܒܝܠ‬Romans 10:18). A final yūd and seyāme were systematically ݂̈ ܶ ܶ added to 3rd plural feminine perfect forms; e.g. ܺ‫ ܰܚܠ ܦܝ‬for BFBS ܺ‫ܰܚܠܦ‬ (Romans 1:26). 2. Seyāme was placed uniformly on ‫ ̈ܪ‬when present.

1 This edition is a complete New Testament (without apparatus criticus) according to the Peshiṭta canon, supplemented by the extra-Peshiṭta texts (Minor Cath. Epistles and Revelation) published by J. Gwynn in 1909 and 1897. The Gospels are taken from the 1905 BFBS edition, the Praxapostolos (Acts, Jas, 1Pet, 1Jn; Paul. Epistles) is based on collations undertaken by G. H. Gwilliam and J. Pinkerton between 1912 and 1916. 2 G. A. Kiraz, ‘Automatic Concordance Generation of Syriac Texts’. In VI Symposium Syriacum 1992, ed. R.

The division of the text into chapters and verses is a recent Western phenomenon. Early manuscripts divided the texts into chapters, called in Syriac ‫ܩܦܳܠܘܢ‬, abbreviated ‫ܩܦ‬, or ‫ܨܚ ܚܐ‬, abbreviated ‫ܨܚ‬. Having said that, ancient manuscripts do not always follow a systematic approach in these chapter divisions. The present text follows the recent Western division of chapters, naming each chapter in Syriac ‫ܩܦܳܠܘܢ‬. Ancient Syriac chapter divisions are given in the outer margin preceded by the abbreviation ‫ ܨܚ‬for ܳ (they correspond to Roman numerals in the English translation). ‫ܨܚ ܳܚܐ‬ These were adapted from the BFBS edition. Note that the Peshiṭta omits Rom. 16:24. 4 In the Received Pronunciation, there is a schwa, /ḥayelthone/, but without a written vowel in the orthographic representation; cf. Margoliouth, A Compendious Syriac Dictionary 140. 5 All MSS in the forthcoming edition by A. Juckel & I. E. Parlevliet-Flesseman supports this reading.

Acknowledgements Andreas Juckel, my co-editor in the Ṣurath Kthob series, played a major role in setting the textual policies of the edition. I am personally grateful to my wife Christine and three children: Tabetha Gabriella, Sebastian Kenoro, and Lucian Nurono. It is hoped that the current edition will be a motivation for further texts and translations of the Syriac Biblical tradition, and will stimulate the use of the Peshiṭta in educational and religious settings.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSLATION BY DANIEL KING The Peshiṭta

ܳ

ܺ ; “simple, ordinary”) version of the Syriac New The Peshiṭta (‫ܦܫܝܛܬܐ‬ Testament is a revision of the earlier “Old Syriac” version, generally thought to have been produced around the turn of the fifth century. The Peshiṭta version included the four gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the whole Pauline corpus (fourteen letters, including Hebrews), but only three of the other writings that comprise the New Testament: James, 1 Peter, and 1 John. The other documents of the New Testament (2 Peter, 2–3 John, Jude, and Revelation) were not translated as part of the Peshiṭta revision; they were introduced into the Syriac Bible tradition sometime in the sixth century. Paul’s Letters in the Syriac Tradition As with many early Christian traditions, the letters of Paul were formative for the beliefs and practices of early Syriac Christian identity. Citations from Paul’s letters are found in much of the earliest literature produced in, or translated into, Syriac from the first few centuries of Christianity. For example, there is evidence of influence from Paul’s letters in the Acts of Thomas and the letter of Mara bar Serapion, and there are copious citations of Paul’s letters in the writings of the fourth-century authors Aphrahaṭ and Ephrem the Syrian. Moreover, the corpus of accepted Pauline letters in the early Syriac tradition is slightly different than other traditions, as the apocryphal, likely second-century correspondence known as 3 Corinthians was considered an authentic and authoritative letter of the apostle. The Peshiṭta translation of the New Testament is the earliest surviving Syriac version of Paul’s letters. Indeed, one of the earliest dated Syriac biblical manuscripts includes the letters of Paul. Unlike the situation with the Gospels, there is no extant manuscript of an “Old Syriac” Pauline corpus. However, it is nearly certain that such a text did exist, given the number of Pauline citations in Syriac works prior to the fifth century and the existence of Ephrem’s Commentary on the Pauline Epistles, which is preserved only in an Armenian translation. Very little is known about this

Introduction to the Translation

pre-Peshiṭta Pauline corpus in Syriac, and significant questions remain about its date and place of origin. The present volume contains the first three letters of the Pauline corpus according to the order in which they are found in the standard Bibles of the both East and West. Although they were not the first letters the apostle penned, they were the longest and perhaps the most convoluted in terms of the range and complexity of the issues with which they dealt. In the letter to the Romans, we see Paul writing to a church he had never visited exhorting them to develop a new sense of Christian identity based on the gospel of Jesus the Messiah which has replaced the old distinction of Jew and Gentile. This leads Paul to an extended consideration of the basis and effects of this gospel in the first few chapters which has become one of the cornerstones of the Christian theology of salvation. In his letters to the Corinthians, Paul was writing to a church he had himself founded and to which he was much attached, but which was beset by what he saw as potentially fatal problems and which had been influenced by missionaries other than himself. In the first letter, he is at pains to put them on a straight path with regard to a range of issues, including the sharing of the Lord’s supper, how to treat meat sacrificed in temples, and the nature of the resurrection. The second letter picks up on an issue also found in the first, namely the validity of Paul’s own missionary task and the nature of his position of authority over them. A strong sense of personal attachment and concern is very evident throughout these two letters, perhaps especially in the second. The Syriac Peshiṭta translation of the Pauline letters, made from the Greek most likely in the fifth century, follows the original text very closely at all times. The translator did not feel at liberty, given the unique significance of his task, to expand or paraphrase the meaning of the text he was using. Although the translation hardly resembles the far more literal Syriac versions that were made in the following centuries, nonetheless the style is often awkward, if only because Paul’s language is itself often awkward. The apostle wrote in a free-flowing, rather than a formalized style and the translation rarely attempts to simplify the syntax or to clarify obscurities. In the present English translation, we have attempted to reproduce some of the feel of the original letters in terms of their informality, sometimes even conversational style, but without referring any more than was strictly necessary to the Greek text from which the Syriac was made. We have therefore aimed to produce strictly a translation of the Peshiṭta as it was perhaps understood, without knowledge of the original, to its first readers. But we have also tried to include a realistic understanding of what

Paul was talking about, of the strong influence of the Old Testament on his thought, of its covenantal shape, and so forth. In line with other modern idiomatic English translations1 and in order to reflect the informal style of Paul’s letters, the present translation frequently uses contracted English forms (don’t, aren’t etc.). This avoids the unnecessarily pompous and false impression created by retaining formal language in many cases. For instance, ‘Don’t you realize that…’ as against ‘Do you not realize that…’ not only reflects modern English usage, it also allows the emphasis of the sentence to fall in the appropriate position. By convention, besides personal names, I have capitalized only ‘Father’, ‘God’, ‘Holy Spirit’, ‘Lord’, ‘Messiah’ and ‘Son’ but not pronouns referring to these. The following notes will explain a few of the more important decisions with regard to translation equivalents Translating Pauline Language The following paragraphs explain the thinking behind some of the renderings of particular terms in Romans and 1/2 Corinthians. Our thinking has focused not just on what Paul might have meant by a particular term but also by what the Syriac words of the Peshiṭta might have meant to its authors and first readers. Simetimes the Jewish background to these technical terms needs to be made explicit; at other times contemporary English usage needs to be observed rather than outmoded language repeated. The explanations here refer only to the current volume and the present translator, and should not be assumed to apply where other translators have dealt with other New Testament books.

‫ܙܕܩ – ܟܐܢܐ‬ From Romans 3:4, the question of what is traditionally known as ‘the righteousness of God’ becomes a vital issue.2 When translating the Peshiṭta into English, we are faced with two terms (and their various derivatives), which we have tended (albeit not with total consistency) to render as follows: ‫ ܺܙܕܩ‬acquit, declare (in the) right, absolve, exonerate ‫ ܟܐܢܐ‬right, innocent (of people only), just (of God only) E.g., see The New Testament for Everyone, tr. N.T. Wright For further reading on the various understandings of the term in Biblical Studies, the reader may be referred to Alister E. McGrath, Iustitia Dei (3rd edition, Cambridge University Press, 2005), and the more recent and accessible volume by N.T. Wright, Justification: God’s Plan and Paul’s Vision (IVP Press, 2009). 1 2

Introduction to the Translation

The Hebrew term ṣedeq, and its usual rendering in the Greek Old Testament, dikaiosunê, frequently refer to ‘justice’ in our generic English sense. To the extent that God is pictured as being a judge, this is a ‘forensic’ metaphor and, in the context of ancient near eastern culture and practice it draws on the language of the royal court of arbitration. So, for example: Psalms 9:8 he will judge the world justly (bṣedeq) Psalms 11:7 The Lord is just (ṣadiq) and loves just actions (ṣadqot) To say that God is ṣadiq means that he doles out decisions justly, whereas for a human being, to say that he/she is ṣadiq frequently also means that he/she is innocent of charges. Very often modern English bible translations render this as ‘righteous’, although in many cases this is clearly inadequate to capture the sense of the term and something like ‘innocent’ is much closer to the true sense (see NIV Isaiah 5:23). The same semantics are applicable to the verbal form of the Hebrew root. ṣdq (in Greek dikaioô) means, when people are the subject, to declare/prove their own innocence in court (Isaiah 43:9,26), and with God as subject it is for him to ‘prove, declare’ that his own judgment is, perhaps contrary to claims, just (Psalms 51:4). In the Pauline epistles, quotations from Habakkuk 2:4 and Psalms 51:4 (at Romans 1:17 and 3:4 respectively) set the terminological agenda for the rest of the letter. These show that Paul’s dikaios is the ‘just’ or ‘innocent’ of the Hebrew scriptures while the abstraction dikaiosunê refers to God’s administration of this sort of justice. The verb dikaioô should be taken to mean something like ‘to be declared in the right’ following some sort of judgement. In line with many modern translations of the New Testament from the Greek, we have chosen to avoid the use of the terms ‘righteous’ and ‘justify’ (and their cognates) in our various renderings of the Syriac terms ‫ ܙܕܩ‬and ‫ܟܐܢܐ‬. For many readers this decision may seem to stand in need of some defense. There are at least three difficulties associated with the use of the traditional rendering ‘righteous/righteousness’: i. There is no English causative verb that derives from the adjective ‘righteous’. As a result, translations are often forced to use ‘justify’ for ‘make/declare righteous’. This move unfortunately abandons any attempt to maintain a transparent link between adjective and verb and thereby makes an effective understanding of Pauline theology a great deal harder for the reader (e.g. see KJV Romans 3:26). ii. In contemporary English ‘righteousness’ means, at best, ‘morally pure’. Such a meaning lies on the edge of the semantic domain of these

Introduction to the Translation

XVII

Hebrew and Greek terms but without offering a significant overlap because ‘righteous’ does not have forensic connotations in English. This leads to a second error, viz. that ‘to make righteous’, instead of referring to a declaration of innocence, seems to imply that a person’s moral standing is granted to them. iii. Except in a very restricted domain of usage within parts of the western church, in modern English usage, the word is found almost exclusively in derogatory contexts, e.g. ‘the politician hid behind a cloak of righteousness’. Its use by churches often fails to convey what the users believe they are communicating by it. Now Syriac shares some of these difficulties found in English. The Peshiṭta tends to opt for ‫ ܟܐܢܐ‬for dikaios (and derivatives) and is frequently used in Romans 3–5. However, as in English, there is no causative form from this root, and so the Peshiṭta uses the causative form ‫ ܐܙܕܕܩ‬for the passive of dikaioô, e.g. Romans 2:13. Where this could have been misleading at 3:26, because there both the adjective and the verb dikaioô are ܳ ݁ܽ dikaios used, the Peshiṭta expands the latter to ‫ܐܢܘܬܐ‬ ‫ ܰܘ ܰܢܙ ݁ ܶܕܩܺ ݁ܒ ܺܟ‬. When translating the Peshiṭta into English we want to avoid the error of subconsciously translating the Greek. It therefore seems advisable to use different English roots for ‫ ܙܕܩ‬and ‫ܟܐܢܐ‬, even though they represent the same Greek root (on occasion the Peshiṭta even switches between ‫ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ‬and ‫ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ‬for the same Greek dikaiosunê, Romans 4:3,5,6). However, we should also credit the Peshiṭta translator(s) with having a good understanding of Paul’s adoption of OT covenantal language (which of course functions the same way in OT Peshiṭta). In order both to reflect the Peshiṭta’s understanding of the Old Testament-based covenantal nature of Paul’s language, and to avoid the use of the English ‘righteousness’, I have used ‘acquit’ for ‫ܙܕܩ‬, and ‘just’ or ‘innocent’ for ‫ܟܐܢܐ‬. The choice between the latter two may depend on context, ‘just’ being more appropriate to descriptions of God, ‘innocent’ to people. ‫ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ‬, the state of having been acquitted, is ‘innocence’ (Romans 4:6) or ‘absolution’ (2 Corinthians 5:21, though without any special Catholic implications), while ‫ ܟܐܢܐ‬is occasionally rendered as ‘acquittal’, e.g. at Romans 4:22–3 where Paul is referring back to 4:3 and it makes good sense to use the same term in both verses. The Peshiṭta itself is not consistent in its rendering of these key Pauline terms (e.g. compare the final words of Romans 4:3 and 4:5) and hence, preserving its spirit, I have not necessarily been entirely consistent in the English terms and some little variation will be found that attempts to be sensitive to context and the stylistic variation required by discerning readers of English.

Introduction to the Translation

‫ܢܡܘܣܐ‬ In the vast majority of cases, Paul is referring specifically to the Torah/Law of Moses, rather than a generic notion of ‘law’ (especially, e.g., Romans 3:27–8, where this is not always properly recognized). The translation reflects this understanding and generally translates ‘Mosaic Law’ or ‘Law’. Where the generic law of marriage is referred to (Romans 7:1–3), the lowercase ‘law’ is used, to be contrasted to the Mosaic Law of v. 4.

‫ܟܬܒܐ‬ Usually ‘scripture’, but ‘letter’ where contrasted with ‫ܪܘܚ‬, e.g. Romans 2:29.

‫ܗܝܡܢ‬ According to context, ‘believe’, ‘have faith’, or ‘be faithful’. The term can be used of God as well as of people, and in such cases clearly means ‘be faithful’. Sometimes the same rendering is needed in reference to people so as not to lose sight of Paul’s point, e.g. at Romans 3:3. Much recent research has preferred ‘be faithful’ much of the time in these letters, and the present translation reflects this position, although ‘believe’ is also found frequently whenever appropriate.

‫ܡܫܝ ܚܐ‬ ‘Messiah’ rather than the Graecism ‘Christ’, and hence for ‫ܡܫܝ ܚܐ‬, we have used ‘our Lord Jesus the Messiah’.

ܺ ‫ܡܪܢ ܺܝܫܘܥ‬

‫ܢܦܫ‬ At 1 Corinthians 2:14, and again 1 Corinthians 15:44,46, Paul uses psuchikos in the sense of a person who has a psuche but not a pneuma. In modern psychological terms, this is perhaps best expressed as someone who has ‘mind’ (i.e. they are fully functional human beings) but not a ‘spirit’ (i.e. an awareness of the supernatural realm). The Peshiṭta uses ‫ܢܦܫ‬, and I have used ‘mind’ in these cases. At 1 Corinthians 15:44ff., we are faced with ‫ ܢܦܫܢܝܐ‬and ‫ ܪܘܚܢܝܐ‬which I have rendered respectively as ‘having a mind’ and ‘having a spirit’. These adjectives are contrastively predicated of ‫ܦܓܪܐ‬, hence the distinction being made is not quite the same as that found in 1 Corinthians 2:14 and in ch.3, where ‫ ܦܓܪܢܐ‬contrasted with ‫ܪܘܚܢܐ‬. Here in ch. 15, Paul is recalling that what made Adam human was that his ‫ ܦܓܪܐ‬received ‫ ܢܦܫ‬and hence all people have ‫ܢܦܫ‬, a good thing that originates with God and which bestows humanness but not ‘spiritual’ status, that being an extra gift given to some who thereby become ‫ܪܘܚܢܝܐ‬.

Introduction to the Translation

XIX

‫ܒܣܪܐ – ܦܓܪܐ‬ Closely related to the above are the expressions used by Paul in many places (especially 1 Corinthians 3) to refer to ‘unspiritual’ people or attitudes. The Peshiṭta uses both roots and this translation similarly uses two terms, ‘material’ and ‘physical’, although not with a precise correspondence to the two Syriac words. The former I have used more frequently, though sometimes the latter is preferred, as e.g. 2 Corinthians 3:3, 5:1. At 1 Corinthians 15, ‫( ܦܓܪܐ‬Gk: sôma) refers to physical or material objects in general, including sun and stars. The English term ‘body’ is ordinarily used now only for living creatures, although in the field of premodern physics it was used to denote anything material. However, we have retained it here in line with traditional versions and for lack of any other close functional equivalent. It is qualified as ‘material’ in v. 37,39 for clarification.

‫ܠܫܢܐ‬ Throughout 1 Corinthians 12–14, I have rendered this controversial term as ‘languages’ rather than the ‘tongues’ that is in common usage in Englishspeaking churches today but which gives the impression that Paul was using a term other than the generic term for a language.

‫ܚ ܝܬܺܡܝܬܐ‬ Although previous translations of the Peshiṭta have rendered this expression as ‘resurrection from the dead’, they were in fact following the underlying Greek. In the Syriac, the notion of ‘rising’ is not present. The regular English idiom ‘life after death’ seemed more apposite than ‘resurrection from the dead’.

‫ܚ ܝܠܬܢܐܺ–ܺܚܟܝܡܐ‬ At 1 Corinthians 1:26, we have sometimes replaced the traditional translations ‘wise’ and ‘strong’ with ‘educated’ and ‘powerful’. Paul is not speaking here of people with unusual intelligence or strength, but of those of a high social standing. On the other hand, Paul’s argument hangs on his application of these terms to God as well as to humans and since one can hardly, at least in English, talk of God as ‘educated’, the traditional term ‘wise’ also has to be retained.

Introduction to the Translation

݂̈ ‫ܥܡܡܐܺܥܡܡܐܺܐ̈ܪܡܝܐܺܚܢ݂̈ܦܐ‬ In Paul’s writings, ‘peoples’ refers to ‘non-Jews’ or ‘Gentiles’, whereas the singular ‘people’ refers to the Jewish people as a whole. The quotation from Deuteronomy at Romans 15:10 makes the contrast quite clear. Whereas ݂̈ is directly contrasted to ‫ܝܗܘܕܝܐ‬ ݂̈ , e.g. Romans 3:29, the Jews sometimes ‫ܥܡܡܐ‬ can also be included amongst the term ‘peoples’, e.g. Romans 4:17. In this translation, ‘pagans’ translates both ‫ ܚܢ݂̈ܦܐ‬and ‫ܐ̈ܪܡܝܐ‬. The first of these is usually a translation of ethnê ‘peoples’ (1 Corinthians 5:1, 12:2), sometimes for apistos ‘unbeliever’, while the other (lit., Aramaeans) is usually for hellênes ‘Greeks’ (Romans 1:16, 3:9, 1 Corinthians 12:13), although at times it reflects ethnê (1 Corinthians 1:23). The Peshiṭta does not attempt to mark a clear difference between these Syriac terms.

‫ܬܫܡܫܬܐ‬ This translates diakonia, traditionally ‘ministry’ or ‘service’. The latter has been used on occasion (1 Corinthians 12:5) but usually the word refers to Paul’s special task of bringing the gospel to the Gentiles; hence we have rendered with expressions that better express the idea in contemporary English such as ‘the bearing of the message’ (2 Corinthians 3:7). In the later chapters of 2 Corinthians, it refers specifically to Paul’s task of collecting money for the Jerusalem church. In these cases, other terms are used that are appropriate to the context.

‘I’ and ‘we’ Paul often uses plural pronouns when he is most likely referring to himself, while at other times he uses ‘we’ to refer to apostles in general (1 Corinthians 4) or else to himself along with specified co-workers. It is not always straightforward to distinguish these situations clearly. I have on the whole left the pronouns as they are, but changed the plural to a singular on other occasions where this seemed a more natural English way of expression. Translation Policy for This Volume Despite the foregoing observations and criticisms, the translation technique adopted here3 is not meant to indict or discount other available English translations, but to serve the specific purposes of the present series. The 3 This section has been adapted from the “Translation Policy” composed by Jeff Childers in the introduction to his translation of the Gospel of Mark in this series.

English follows the guidelines for translating and annotating the text that have been set for the series. The following description clarifies the translation method according to a number of specific categories. Dynamic equivalency. The English translation is intended to provide the contextually appropriate sense of the Peshiṭta in an idiomatic way. As such, it strives for dynamic rather than formal equivalence, regularly adapting the Syriac form to the norms of English idiom in a dynamic way, for the sake of providing the English reader with a meaning that is genuinely equivalent to that of the Syriac. This principle applies at different levels, beginning with the handling of single words and idiomatic phrases. For instance, a formally literal translation of the Syriac expression, “by the hand of” would give the wrong sense. In English, the expressions “through” or “by means of” capture the sense better. A dynamic handling of the forms yields a more equivalent meaning. For instance, word-for-word renderings can produce meaningless English such as Etheridge’s translation of Romans 2:14, “for if the Gentiles, who have not the law, from their nature shall perform the law, these, while not having the law, unto themselves become a law,” which may be more appositely said as “If those peoples that do not have the Mosaic Law had instinctively performed it, even though they were not in possession of it, they would have become their own ‘Mosaic Law’.” A dynamic translation of this type mains to be meaning-based and to convey to the modern reader an approximation to what the original may have conveyed, in a manner that is natural and clear as well as accurate. Translation unit. According to the priorities of dynamic equivalence, the translation does not follow a word-for-word or highly literal policy that adheres to form rather than sense. Yet it normally takes phrases and clauses as the primary sense units — rather than entire sentences or paragraphs, on the one hand, or words and partial words, on the other. This enables the translation to stay quite close to the wording and order of the original, while conveying its sense in proper English idiom. Contextual sensitivity. Words can have different meanings and functions, based on requirements or possibilities determined by their contexts, and depending on the norms of the language into which they are translated. In the English translation, context prescribes word choice, so that the same Syriac word may be translated differently in different places rather than rendered woodenly the same way every time — e.g. the same Syriac word ܶ (‫ )ܩܪܒ‬is variously translated “approached,” “drew near,” and “came to.” Where more than one meaning for a word or phrase is plausible and would yield a sufficiently distinct sense — i.e. not simply a difference in style or vocabulary choice — the accompanying notes provide alternative translations, usually with brief explanations. The plausibility of legitimately

different meanings is determined by the strength of historically grounded lexical data about a given word, the natural variety of meaning inherent in a particular term or grammatical form, and the requirements of the context. Several common Syriac conjunctions and particles also illustrate the importance of contextual sensitivity in making translation choices. Depending on the context, the ubiquitous Syriac conjunction w- (-‫ )ܘ‬has a wide range of meanings — “and,” “but,” “for,” “or,” “since,” and so on. ܶ ) are very common; often translated Similarly, dên (‫ ) ܶܕܝܢ‬and gêr (‫ܓܝܪ‬ respectively “but/now” and “for,” each has a range of possible meanings and rhetorical functions. The function of the interjection hā (‫) ܳܗܐ‬, traditionally translated “behold!”, may be best captured by any of several terms or phrases, or even none at all. The English does not translate such words woodenly, but uses various words to represent their meanings and function. Since Syriac idiom is replete with such terms in ways that often seem redundant or awkward in English, at times such words are left untranslated altogether in order to produce a smooth English text. Furthermore, since English prefers hypotactic structures over the parataxis common to Syriac, at times the translation changes a flat (paratactic) coordination between clauses to create a subordinating (hypotactic) connection instead. Romans 2:25–29 provides an instance of a variety of different English renderings for Syriac conjunctions and sentences structures — the types of solutions that may be seen here are replicated throughout the translation. Inclusive Language. It is the policy of the series to use gender inclusive language. Where the context indicates that a specific gender is meant, the translation retains grammatical gender. However, when the context indicates gender neutrality, the translation uses inclusive language. For ܰ ܰ ݂̈ instance, the address, “my brothers” (‫ܝ‬ ܺ ‫)ܐܚ‬, which occurs quite frequently in the Pauline Episles, is translated, “my brothers and sisters.” Untranslatable features. Some features of Syriac idiom cannot be properly captured by English idiom at all and therefore are not evident in the present English translation. They may mark syntax in ways that are untranslatable or simply involve structures that do not fit English. Examples of this include certain nuances between verb tenses and ܳ the so-called dativus ethicus, ܳ ܺ ܰ or pleonastic dative (e.g. ‫ܡܕܝܢܺܬܐ‬ ‫) ܶܘܐܬܐ ܺ ܶܠܗ ܺܠ‬, whereby a particular prepositional phrase accompanies the verb but does not essentially change its meaning. Syriac very commonly uses anticipatory and resumptive pronominal suffixes in a manner that is not normal in English — e.g. “the ܶ ܰ ݁ܽ ‫ܺܕܫ‬ ܶ ‫ܝܬܗ‬ house of him, of Simon” (‫ܡܥܘܢ‬ ‫ )ܒ‬means simply “the house of Simon,” or “Simon’s house.” Untranslatable features such as these are tacitly normalized according to English idiom.

The Lord. In the Peshiṭta version of the Hebrew Bible, the term Māryā “the Lord,” represents the tetragram, the name of the Lord God. Where this form occurs in the Peshiṭta text of the Pauline Epistles, the English translation uses the capitalized “the Lord” throughout. By contrast, in the many places where the simple form mārā (‫ ) ܳܡ ܳܪ ܐ‬occurs, the English translates it in various ways, including “lord,” “master,” “sir,” and any of several dynamic expressions for common idioms. Father/Son Language for God and Jesus. Throughout this translation, whenever the word “father” appears in reference to God and the word “son” appears in reference to Jesus, these words will be capitalized. However, this translation has not adopted the practice of capitalizing pronouns (‘he’, ‘him’, etc.) when they refer to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Names. According to the policy of the series, the present translation uses conventional English spellings for proper names rather than transliterations. Specifically, the spellings of the American Standard Version (1901) edition occur throughout. These conventions are long-standing and find their justification in the norms for idiomatic translations of all types of source material and in traditional methods for rendering biblical names into English — though it must be acknowledged that English conventions owe more to ancient Greek and Latin than Aramaic forms, as in the name “Jesus” (rather than “Yeshua”). Furthermore, it should be noted that certain traditional name distinctions have become conventional even though they are without linguistic warrant and are inconsistent with sound ݁ܽ ܰ‫)ܝ‬ translation methodology. For instance, where the name “Ya‘qub” (‫ܥܩܘܒ‬ occurs, it has become conventional to give “Jacob” for the patriarch and “James” for Jesus’ disciple. The same conventions prescribe “Judah” for the patriarch, “Judas” for Jesus’ betrayer, and “Judaea” for the geographical region, although the name Yhudā — “Judah” is identical in each instance. Recognizing the limitations of this procedure, for the sake of consistency the policy of the series is to use conventional English spellings as they occur in the ASV (1901). However, in the present translation, the name “Cephas” occurs throughout, since this is the Syriac form of the apostle’s name in the Pauline Epistles; the form “Peter” does not occur. The Attributive Genitive. Syriac commonly uses genitival phrases to describe the quality of a preceding noun. Dynamic equivalence in English (or Greek) prefers adjectival phrases, and this is how the translation usually ݁ܽ ‫ܘܚܐ‬ ܳ ‫ܺܕܩ‬ ܳ ‫“ = ) ܽ݁ܪ‬Holy renders them. For instance, “Spirit of Holiness” (‫ܘܕܫܐ‬ Spirit.” (‫) ܳܡܪܝܳ ܐ‬,

Biblical citations. The Pauline Epistles often quote from and allude to the Hebrew Bible. Citations and strong verbal allusions are put within quotes. The notes provide references to the sources of the citations. Notes. In addition to providing biblical references, the notes that accompany the English translation supply alternative meanings for some Syriac words and expressions, explain the literal wording behind certain translations, and clarify distinctions otherwise lost in English. Two abbreviations occur regularly: lit. = literally; v. = verse. Translator’s Acknowledgments The translator would like to thank those who made comments on drafts of these books and who have helped to improve the final product. Englishing the Bible (as they used to say) is a particularly engaging yet dangerous task, especially so in the great Pauline epistles which have had (and continue to have) such a formative influence on the church. Any individual translator’s solutions are usually the result of compromise: some dearly held ideas have to be ditched while others may prove controversial. Although all such final decisions are my own, I would thank especially those who took part in discussions over certain key Pauline terms in Syriac (Sebastian Brock and James Walters both made useful suggestions), and also those many others with whom I have been able to reflect upon ky Pauline terms and how they might be meaningfully rendered in today’s world. The translation philosophy of Eugene Nida and the modern English exegesis and translation of N. T. Wright have both been formative influences on my own approach. Their advice has been well taken.

Readings which would make no difference to the translation have not been noted. It is important to appreciate that, in general, where the Peshiṭta differs from the standard text this is because the Greek manuscript(s) used by the Peshiṭta already contained these variants.

The Peshiṭta reads ‘was born’ (‫ )ܐܬܝܻܠܕ‬whereas the Greek text has ‘became’ (γενομένου). Behind this variation, however, stands a very minor spelling difference in Greek between the word for ‘became’ (γενομένου) and the word for ‘one who was born’ (γεννωμένου). Moreover, these words are virtually homophones in Greek. While many patristic citations of this verse in Syriac also use ‘was born’, quite a few of them use ‘became’ (‫)ܗܘܐ‬ instead.4 The Old Syriac had ‘was seen’ (‫)ܐܬܚܙܝ‬,5 which is almost certainly a translation of ‘became’.

Romans 3:26

ܺ ܺ‫ܳܡ ܰܪܢܺܝ ܶ ܽ݁ܫܘܥ‬ ‫ܡܫܝ ܳܚܐ‬

Our Lord Jesus the Messiah

The text of the Peshiṭta includes the full titular ‘Our Lord Jesus the Messiah,’ whereas the original Greek text has only ‘Jesus.’ It was common for scribes from the Syriac churches to expand titles such as this out of reverence. The extended title ‘Jesus the Messiah’ is also found in a few other textual traditions, including Latin (it, vgcl), Coptic (bo), and Greek (629).6 It is also worth noting that the Syriac Harklean translation restores the shorter, original text.7 Romans 3:28

ܰ

ܰ ܶ ‫ܶܡܬܪܥ‬ ...‫ܝܢܢܺ ܳܗ ܺܟܝܠ‬

Our doctrine, then, is that…

The standard critical editions of the Greek text have the word “for” ( γάρ), but the text of the Peshiṭta has “then/therefore” (‫) ܳܗ ܺܟܝܠ‬. This difference is likely a result of a variant in the Greek manuscript tradition on the use of the word “for” (γάρ) or “therefore/then” (οὖν). As such, the Peshiṭta text stands as a witness to the use of οὖν, along with B, C, D2, and . Romans 4:17

ܶ ‫ܰܐ ܳܠ ܳܗܐ܂ܺ ܰܗܘܺ ݁ܕ ܰܗ‬ ܺ ‫ܢܬܺ ݁ ܶܒܗ‬ ܺ݁ ‫ܝܡ‬

In the Greek text, the verb in this phrase is in the third person, referring to Abraham: ‘the God in whom he [Abraham] believed’. However, in the Peshiṭta, the verb has shifted to second person. This change is not indicative of a variant in the Greek manuscript tradition. Romans 5:1

There is variation in the Greek manuscript tradition between as to whether the verb “to have” appears in the indicative mood or the subjunctive mood, likely because these forms of the verb are homophones and have only a minor difference in spelling (ἔχομεν and ἔχωμεν respectively). The text of the Peshiṭta employs an imperfect verb construction for this phrase, and thus stands as a witness to the Greek subjunctive verb. As such, the Peshiṭta agrees with ‫*א‬, A, B*, C, D, and part of the tradition (K and L). Romans 6:16

ܳ ܶ ܰ ܰ ܶ ܳ ܺ ‫ܫܡܥܺܐܕ ܳܢܐܺܕ ܺܟ ܽ݁ܐܢܘܬܐ‬ ‫ܐܢܺ ܰܠܚܛܝܬܐ܂ܺ ܶܘܐܢܺܠܡ‬

sin [that leads to death] or the sort of obedience

The text of the Peshiṭta omits the phrase ‘that leads to death’, along with a handful of other witnesses: D, 1739*, r, vg st, and sa. The extra phrase is attested, however, in one Syriac citation of this verse (Abba Isaiah) and in the Harklean version as well.8 Romans 6:19

ܳ ݁ܽ ݁ ܰ ܳ ݁ܽ ݁ ܰ ܳ ܺ‫ܢܦܘܬܐܺ ܰܘܕܥܰܘܠ‬ ‫ܠ ܥܒܕܘܬܐܺܕܛ‬

to obey uncleanness and evil [which leads to lawlessness]

The Greek text of this verse includes the phrase “which leads to lawlessness” after the word evil. The text of the Peshiṭta, however, omits this phrase. One very important Greek witness (codex B) also omits this phrase. The omission, whether by accident or intent, most likely stems from the fact that the words translated here as ‘evil’ and lawlessness’ are the same in Greek (and would most likely be the same in Syriac too). Romans 8:1

there is now no judgment against you if you don’t live in a fleshly way

The earliest and best Greek witnesses do not include the phrase ‘if you don’t live in a fleshly way’. This phrase was added in some recensions, as represented by the Peshiṭta, A, D1, Ψ, and vg. An even longer version of this addition is attested by ‫א‬2, D2, , and the Syriac Harklean version.

There is significant variation in the wording and word order of this verse across the manuscript traditions of various languages, but it seems that the original form is as follows: “[neither]…angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers…,” as attested by P 27, ‫א‬, A, B, it, co, arm, and eth. Romans 9:32

ܳ ‫ܥܒ ܰܕ ݂̈ܘܗܝܺ ݁ܕ ܳܢ ܽ݁ܡ‬ ܳ ‫ܘܣܐ‬

In the standard critical editions of the Greek text, the phrase “of the Law” is omitted, as attested by P46, ‫*א‬, A, B, F, it, and co. By including this phrase, the Peshiṭta stands with ‫א‬2, D, Ψ, and . Romans 10:15

The earliest and most reliable textual witnesses do not include the extra phrase for “bring a message of peace,” but instead only have “those who bring a message of good news” (i.e. P46, ‫*א‬, A, B, and others). The extra phrase was likely added because it completes the quotation from Isaiah 52:7, and it is attested by D, F, G, Ψ, vg, arm, and . Romans 10:17

There is significant variation in the manuscripts concerning the inclusion and placement of this benediction. In addition to the Peshiṭta, the text is also attested in this form by P61, ‫א‬, B, C, D, vg, and co. 1 Corinthians 3:3

Introduction to the Translation

XXX

In the text of the Peshiṭta, Paul comes before Apollos to match the previous verse. A handful of other witnesses also include the same order as the Peshiṭta (D1, L, Ψ, ), but this does not appear to be the original order in the Greek text. 1 Corinthians 5:4

ܺ ܺ‫݁ܕ ܳܡ ܰܪܢܺܝ ܶ ܽ݁ܫܘܥ‬ ‫ܡܫܝ ܳܚܐ‬

our Lord Jesus the Messiah

There is significant variation in the manuscript traditions concerning the wording of this particular phrase, and in this case it is not easy to determine which represents the original text. Some manuscripts have ‘our Lord Jesus’ (B, D*), and this is the reading that the editors of the critical Greek editions have included in their text (although they place the Greek word for ‘our’ [ἡμῶν] in brackets to note uncertainty). Some witnesses have ‘the Lord Jesus’ (A, Ψ), and still others have ‘the Lord Jesus the Messiah’ (note: without the word ‘our’; most notably ‫ א‬and some early Latin manuscripts). The Peshiṭta has the expanded title ‘our Lord Jesus the Messiah’, and this longer reading is also attested by P46, D2, F, G, and . 1 Corinthians 5:12

ܰ ܺ‫ܡܕܢ‬ ܳ ‫ܳܡܐܺ ܺܠܝܺ ܶܓܝܪܺ ܰܠ‬ ܰ ‫ܺ ܰܐܢ ݁ ܽ݁ܬܘܢܺܠ ܰܕ‬.‫ܠܒ ܳܪܝ ܶܐ‬ ‫ܠܓܘܺ ݁ ܽ݁ܕܘܢܘ܆‬

What right do I have to judge outsiders? You should judge insiders…

One ancient papyrus of the Greek text (P46) made this phrase an affirmative statement rather than a question. The Peshiṭta appears to be following such a text, since the usual translation of the Greek interrogative particle (οὐχί) is not present, although technically any statement in Syriac could be read as a question. The translation here thus differs a little from translations of the standard Greek text. 1 Corinthians 6:20

݁ܽ ݁ ܰ ݁ܽ ‫ܪܟܘܢ ܺ ܰܘܒ ܽ݁ܪ‬ ݁ܽ ‫ܡܫ ݁ܒ ܺܚ ܝܢ ܺ ܰܠ ܳܠ ܳܗܐ ܺܒ ܰܦܓ‬ ܰ ܺ ‫ܝܬܘܢ ܺ ܳܗ ܺܟܝܠ‬ ܺ‫ܘܚܟܘܢ܇ ܺ ܳܗ ܽ݁ܢܘܢ‬ ܰ ‫݁ ܺܗܘ‬ ܳ ‫ܐܝܬ ܽ݁ܝܗܘܢܺ ݁ ܰܕ‬ .‫ܐܠ ܳܗܐ‬ ‫ܕ‬ glorify God with both your bodies and your spirits; both of them belong to God.

The original form of this verse ends at ‘bodies’, as attested by P 46, ‫א‬, A, B, C*, D*, lat, and co. The longer form of the verse is clearly an insertion found only in late manuscripts (or later corrections of manuscripts), like C3, D2, Ψ, and .

the respect that is due to his wife

This reading is found in a number of late Greek manuscripts (primarily all witnesses of the tradition) as a way of avoiding the sexual implications of the original reading: “The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights” (NRSV). The Peshiṭta’s longer reading is also preserved in the Syriac Harklean translation. 1 Corinthians 7:5

ܳ ݁ܽ ܰ ܳ ‫ܠ ܰܨ‬ ܺ ‫ܨܠܘܬܐ‬ ‫ܘܡܐܺܘܠ‬

fasting and prayer

The original text of this verse did not include ‘fasting’. This reading is also attested primarily by the tradition. As in the case of 7:3, it is likely that the ascetical tendencies of the Syriac tradition can account for this insertion. 1 Corinthians 7:14

The term ‘believing’ is here an explanatory addition found in the Peshiṭta and only a sparse number of witnesses from the Latin and Greek traditions. The Syriac Harklean version does not include this addition. 9 1 Corinthians 7:15

ܰ ܳ ܳ ‫ܰܠ‬ ‫ܩܪܢܺܐ ܳܠ ܳܗܐ‬ ܺ‫ܫܠ ܰܡܐܺܗܘ‬

God called us to live in peace

Some of the earliest and best witnesses for this verse are split as to whether the text should read ‘us’ or ‘you’ (plural). In Greek there is only a minor spelling and auditory difference between the two options. 1 Corinthians 7:34

A quick analysis of any modern translation will quickly reveal the variation in meaning that this interpretation entails. This alternate word order is also attested by D, F, G, Ψ, and . 1 Corinthians 9:20

I was as one subject to that Law so as to win those under it

The text of the Peshiṭta omits a phrase, most likely as a result of scribal error. The full version of this text reads: ‘I was as one subject to that Law even though I myself am not under the law.’ This phrase is also lacking in K, Ψ, and . The phrase is restored, however, in the Syriac Harklean version.10 1 Corinthians 11:24

take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you

In the text of the Peshiṭta, there are two additions in this portion of the verse. First, the words ‘take, eat’ are added, likely as the result of conflation with Matt 26:26. This addition is also found in a few other witnesses, primarily of the tradition. Likewise, the word ‘broken’ is added in some witnesses, probably as an attempt to clarify the meaning of the phrase ‘for you’. This reading is also attested by ‫א‬2, C3, D1, F, G, Ψ, and . It is common in both the Greek and Syriac traditions for liturgical texts like this one to be expanded and conflated with one another, most likely because the scribes are already familiar with the liturgical wording. 1 Corinthians 11:29

ܳ ܳ ܶ ܳ ܺ‫ܘܫܬܐ ܺ ܶܡܢܶܗ ܺ ݁ ܰܟܕܺ ܺܺܠ ܺ ܳܫ ܶܘܐ܆ ܺ ܽ݁ܚܘܝܳ ܰܒܐ ܺܗܘ ܺܠ ܰܢܦ ܶܫܗ ܺܐ ܶܟܠ‬ ܺ ‫ܰܡܢ ܺ ݁ܶ ܳܕ ܶܐܟ ܳܠ ܺ ݁ ܶܓܝܪ‬ ܶ ܳ ܳ .‫ܘܫܬܐ܇ܺ ݁ܕܺܠܺܦ ܰܪܫܺ ݁ ܰܦܓܪܗܺ ݁ܕܡܪܝܳ ܐ‬ anyone who eats and drinks of it without being worthy is eating and drinking guilt upon themselves because they have not discerned the Lord’s body

The text of this verse in the Peshiṭta also contains two expansions of the original text. The additional phrases in question are ‘without being worthy’ and ‘the Lord’s’, and these readings are attested by quite a few common 10

. Both readings are omitted,

and gave my body to be burned

There is a textual variant in the Greek tradition, attested here by the Peshiṭta, for the phrase ‘to be burned’ in place of the phrase ‘to boast’, which is found in the texts of the standard Greek critical editions. However, this reading is quite uncertain,11 and it is very difficult to discern the original text for two reasons: 1) there are strong witnesses on each side, and 2) there is only a very slight spelling difference between the two words in Greek (καυθήσωμαι and καχθήσωμαι), and the spelling mistake could have been made in either direction. 1 Corinthians 14:34

‫ܢܶ ܰܫ ݂̈ܝ ݁ ܽ݁ܟܘܢ‬

Your wives

The variant in question in this reading is the inclusion of the possessive pronoun ‘your’ before the word for wives/women. Generally, variants regarding pronouns involve only minor changes in meaning, but here the implications are quite significant. By including ‘your’, the meaning of this text shifts from all women in general to specifically wives (and thus not all women). The addition of the pronoun is also attested by D, F, G, and . 1 Corinthians 15:47

ܰ ܺ‫݁ ܰܒܪܺܐ ܳܢ ܳܫܐܺ ܰܕܬ ܶ̈ܪܝܢܺ ܳܡܪܝܳ ܐܺ ܶܡܢ‬ .‫ܫܡ ܳܝܐ‬

the second man was the Lord from heaven

Several manuscripts and textual traditions, including the Peshiṭta, add the phrase ‘the Lord’ to this verse, likely the result of a scribal attempt to clarify the identity of the ‘second man’. This addition is also witnessed by ‫א‬2, A, D1, Ψ, and .

11 The editors of the UBS text provide a “grading” system to demonstrate their certainty regarding textual variants, with [A] signifying a high degree of certainty, and all subsequent letters denoting less certainty. This reading receives a [C] by the UBS editorial committee.

So, death, where is your sting? And where, hell, is your victory?

Along with a few other witnesses (primarily of the tradition), the text of the Peshiṭta reverses the order of the clauses in this verse. 1 Corinthians 16:23

ܺ ܺ‫݁ܕ ܳܡ ܰܪܢܺܝ ܶ ܽ݁ܫܘܥ‬ ‫ܡܫܝ ܳܚܐ‬

our Lord Jesus the Messiah

As is the case elsewhere, the text of the Peshiṭta here includes a longer form of the name for Jesus by adding the phrase ‘the Messiah’. This addition is also found in ‫א‬2, A, C, D, F, Ψ, , and it. 2 Corinthians 1:10

݁ܽ ܰ ‫ܰܗܘܺ ݁ܕ ܶܡܢܺ ܰܡ ݂̈ܘ ݁ܬܶܐܺ ܰܚ ܺܣ ݂̈ܝܺܢܶܐܺ ܰܦ‬ ܰ ܺܺ‫ܘܬܘܒ‬ .‫ܡܣ ݁ܒ ܺܪ ܰܝܢܢܺ ݁ܕ ܳܦ ܶܪܩܺ ܰܠܢ‬ ܺ.‫ܪܩܢ‬

He it was who rescued us from violent death; and we have a hope that he will do so again

The original text of this verse is longer than the text found in the Peshiṭta. The full text reads as follows: ‘He it was who rescued us from violent death, and will rescue us; and we have a hope that he will do so again’. Thus, the phrase ‘and he will rescue us’ is omitted from the Peshiṭta text. This phrase is also omitted from A, D*, Ψ, ar and b. Some witnesses change the tense of the Greek verb from future to present (D2, F, G, and ), but some of the earliest and most reliable witnesses have the phrase ‘and he will rescue us’ (P46, ‫א‬, B, C). 2 Corinthians 2:17

ܳ ݁ ‫ܳܺܠܺܗ ܰܘܝܢܺ ݁ ܶܓܝܪܺ ܰܐܝܟܺܺ ܰܫ‬ ‫ܪܟܐ܂‬

We are not like those others

There is variation in the manuscript traditions about whether the final word of this phrase is ‘others’ or ‘many’ (i.e. ‘we are not like many [people]’). The text of the Peshiṭta includes ‘others’, and so agrees with P46, D, F, G, and several other sources. The use of ‘many’ is attested by ‫א‬, A, B, C, and . 2 Corinthians 6:16

݁ܽ ݁ ܰ ܳ ‫ܬܘܢܺ ݁ ܶܕܝܢܺ ܰܗ ݁ܝܟ ܶܠܗܺ ܰܐܢ ݁ ܽ݁ܬܘܢܺ ݁ ܰܕ‬ ‫ܐܠ ܳܗܐܺ ܰܚ ܳܝܐ܆‬ ‫ܐܢ‬

Some witnesses, like the Peshiṭta (along with P46, C, F, G, lat, and ), use the 2nd person plural ‘you’ in this phrase. Other witnesses, however, use the 1st person plural ‘we’ (including B, D*, L, and P). 2 Corinthians 11:3

ܳ ݁ܽ ‫݁ܦ ܺܫܝܛܘܬܐ܂‬

simplicity

The standard critical Greek texts include the phrase ‘sincere and pure’ (ἁπλότητος καὶ τῆς ἁγνότητος), whereas the Syriac text of the Peshiṭta provides only a translation of the first word (Insert Syr word), here rendered as ‘simplicity’. Thus, it lacks a translation for ‘and pure’. This omission is also attested by ‫א‬2, H, Ψ, , and vg. The inclusion of the full phrase ‘sincere and pure’ is attested by P46, ‫*א‬, B, F, and several other witnesses. Both words are included, but in reverse order in a few witnesses, and there are even some witnesses that include only the word ‘pure’, but not ‘sincere’ (only in patristic citations). As a result of this array of options, the editors of the critical Greek texts have placed the phrase ‘and pure’ in brackets to denote uncertainty. 2 Corinthians 12:19

݁ܽ ܳ ݁ܽ ݁ ݁ܽ ‫ܬܘܢܺ ݁ ܰܕ‬ ܳ ‫ܠܟܘܢܺ ܳܢܦ ܺܩ ܰܝܢܢܺ ܽ݁ܪ‬ ‫ܘܚܐ܆‬ ‫ܠܡܐܺܬܘܒܺܺ ܳܣܒ ܺܪܝܢܺܐܢ‬

Are you thinking that we should yet again be defending ourselves?

The variant in question in this phrase is the inclusion of the word translated here as ‘yet again’ (Syr: ‫ ;ܬܘܒ‬Gr: πάλιν) as opposed to the Greek word typically translated ‘still’ in this context (πάλαι). In addition to the Peshiṭta, this revision is found in D, Ψ, , and a few others; but the likely original ‘still’ is found in ‫*א‬, A, B, F, and vg. 2 Corinthians 13:2

ܰ ܶ ‫ܳܟܬܒܺܐ ܳܢܐ܇ܺܠ ܳܗ ܶܠܝܢܺ ݁ ܰܕܚܛܘ܆‬

I am writing now to those who have sinned

Along with a number of other witnesses (primarily of the text of the Peshiṭta adds the phrase ‘I am writing’. 2 Corinthians 13:14

tradition), the

ܰ .‫ܐ ܺܡܝܢ‬

Amen.

This final word of the doxology is only included in later manuscript traditions, such as , lat, and the Peshiṭta. It is not found, though, in the earliest and most reliable witnesses.

Chapter  

This is my third visit to you: “every claim will be proved by the word of two or three witnesses.”1



I have told you before and I predict again now (even though still far away, I am writing now to those who have sinned, and to the rest too, just as I said to you when I was with you that second time) that if I arrive, I will not hold back,



since you are after evidence that it is the Messiah who is speaking through me. He is powerful among you, not weak.



He may have seemed weak when he was crucified, but by God’s power he is alive. So even when we seem weak with him, in reality we are alive with him by the same power of God that is present within you.



Test yourselves to see if you are standing firm in your faith. Prove yourselves. Or don’t you acknowledge that the Messiah Jesus is within you? If you do not, then you are rejected.



Yet I trust that you are well aware that we aren’t rejected.



I pray God that there be no evil among you, so that the evidence we need may become apparent, and also that you do good, making us out to be the rejected ones.



For we cannot act in any way that is contrary to what is true, only on behalf of what is true.



Now we are happy when we are weak but you are strong since we are also praying that you would grow up.



This is why I’m writing like this while absent, so that when I arrive I will not need to act harshly in line with the authority that my Lord gave me, which was to build you up, not to bring you down.



So then, my brothers and sisters, be joyful, be grown up, be comforted. Then you will be in agreement and concord, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 

In what way have you become inferior to the other churches, save only in the fact that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this error.

This is now the third time that I am getting ready to come to you, and I will not become a burden to you, since it is you yourselves I am after, not your things. Parents are meant to save up for their children, not vice versa.

Moreover, I will happily pay my expenses and also give myself to you, even though the more love I have for you, the less you have for me.

Perhaps it was not that I was a burden to you but that, like a conman, I tricked you and robbed you.

I asked Titus, and also sent some colleagues with him. Did Titus exploit you at all? Surely he and I walked in a single spirit and in each other’s footsteps?

Chapter  XXVII



It may be appropriate, though not profitable, to boast, since I am coming now to my visions and revelations from our Lord.



I knew a man in the Messiah fourteen years ago who was caught up to the third heaven, though I do not know whether this was bodily or not (God knows),



and I know that this man (whether bodily or not, I do not know, only God does)



was caught up to paradise and heard unutterable things, things that he is forbidden to repeat.



I will boast about this, but not about myself, save only in my weaknesses.



I would not be mad if I wanted to boast about it, since I am telling the truth. But I hold back from doing so lest anyone should think any higher of me than what he can see and hear.



And just in case I were to become haughty because of all these revelations, a thorn was given to me in my flesh to attack me, a messenger from Satan, to make sure that that did not happen.



I asked my Lord three times to take this thing away,



but he said to me, ‘my grace is enough for you, for my power is total when it is in something weak.’ Hence I will happily boast about this weakness of mine so that the Messiah’s power may rest upon me.



This is why I take pleasure in being weak, and in being insulted, being in adversity, being persecuted, being distressed for the Messiah’s sake, since when I am weak, that is when I am strong.



I have become a fool because of these boasts, but you forced my hand. You ought in fact to testify on my behalf since I am just as much an apostle as those extraordinary apostles, even though I was a nothing.



I persevered in carrying out among you the signs of apostleship, together with powerful and extraordinary actions. 

I have been thrashed with rods three times, stoned once, and shipwrecked three times; I was in the sea without a boat for a whole day and a night;



I have been on many journeys, across dangerous rivers, in danger from thugs, in danger from my own people, and in danger from foreigners. I have been in danger in cities and in danger in deserts, in danger at sea, and in danger from false brothers and sisters,



through hard work and tiredness, through plenty of sleeplessness, through hunger and thirst, often going without food, cold and unclothed.



Then there are all the other problems. The crowd of people that is constantly around me, and all my worries on behalf of all the churches.



Who has been made weak if not I? Who was offended and I did not burn?



If someone has to boast, then I will boast in my weaknesses.



God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, blessed be he forever and ever, knows that I am not lying.

In Damascus, the commander of King Aretas’ army guarded the city so as to arrest me,

and I was lowered down the wall in a basket from a window and escaped his clutches.

but I am doing this, and will continue to, in order to deny those people who are looking for a reason to claim to be just like us in what they can boast about.



Actually, they are deceitful workers rather than genuine apostles, and they make themselves out to be apostles sent by the Messiah.



Indeed this isn’t at all surprising. After all, if Satan imitated an angel of light,



it is hardly such a big thing if his servants also imitate the servants of justice. Their end will correspond to what they have done.



But may I say it again, nobody should think of me as a fool. If they do, then accept me as one, so that I may at least boast a little.



What I am saying in this matter of boasting isn’t being said in our Lord, but is being spoken in foolishness.



I shall boast about it because lots of people boast about material things.



After all, you are quite happy to listen to people without sense, since you are wise.



You would attach yourselves to anyone who would enslave you, or exploit you, or steal from you, or to anyone who raises himself over you or even slaps you in the face.



I am talking now as if I were in shame; I am talking as if I were debilitated by my lack of sense, since I am being as reckless as anyone could be.



If they are Hebrews, well so am I. If they are Israelites, so am I. If Abraham is their ancestor, he is mine too.



If they are the Messiah’s servants (I am really talking without any sense now), well I am greater than they are, I have worked harder, been subject to more violence, been imprisoned more often, and been killed more times than they have;



I have been beaten by Judeans five times, each time one short of forty lashes; 

Chapter  XXVI



If you would just bear with me for a bit so I can carry on saying these stupid things. Just bear with me!



You see I am jealous over you, as God is jealous, for I have betrothed you, like a pure bride, to a husband, and I am presenting you to the Messiah.



Yet I am afraid that your hearts will be corrupted from their Messiahlike simplicity just like the snake led Eve astray by lying to her,



because if the person who came to you had preached to you a Jesus different from the one we preached about, or if you had accepted a spirit different from the one that you did in fact accept, or a gospel different from the one that you received, you would have been just as amenable to it.



I do not reckon that I am at all inferior to those extraordinary apostles.



Even though I do not have a well-trained speech, I do have knowledge. And we are quite open to you about all this. 1



Or is that, by proclaiming God’s gospel to you free of charge, I demeaned myself in trying to place you above me and thereby caused you great offense?



I even robbed other churches so as to cover the expense of my bringing the message to you,



and then, when I arrived among you and had needs, I did not become a burden to any one of you, since the fellow-believers who had come from Macedonia supplied my needs and I took care of myself completely, and continue to do so, so as not to become a burden to you.



I have a Messiah-like truthfulness [when I say] that I will not be deprived of this particular boast anywhere in the province of Achaia.



Why so? Is it because I don’t love you? God knows I do,

‘about all this’: words added for completing the sense, although the Greek rather means, ‘we have made [these things] known to you’. 1

We, however, will not boast about anything beyond our own remit, but we will do so within the remit that God has set for us, which means that we can reach all the way to you.



It is not as though we did not reach as far as you when we extended ourselves, since we are reaching all the way to you with the Messiah’s gospel.



Neither are we boasting beyond our remit by boasting in other people’s work. We do, however, nurture the hope that as your faith grows, so our remit among you will expand, that it might be increased,



and that we might preach well beyond you. We don’t boast about things that have been accomplished that are beyond our own remit.



“But he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord,”1



since the person of whom God approves isn’t the one who praises himself, but the one whom the Lord praises.

Chapter  

So then I, Paul, am making a request of you by the Messiah’s gentleness and submissiveness (I may be quiet when I am with you but when I am far away I have much more confidence),



and my request is that when I arrive I may not be forced, given how confident I am, to be what I would think of as bold towards those people who think that we are living materially.



You see, even though we do live on the material level, we are not its servants,



and the weapons we use for our service aren’t material ones but rather ones that are of God’s power, a weapon with which we can put down rebellious fortresses,



demolish arguments and all pride that sets itself over and above knowing God, and take captive all ideas to make them obedient to the Messiah.



And we are quite ready to bring justice upon those who are disobedient, once you yourselves are being fully obedient.



Do you look merely at the outside of people? If anyone is confident that he himself belongs to the Messiah, then let him properly appreciate that we belong to the Messiah just as much as he.



If I am also boasting a great deal about the authority our Lord gave me, I am not ashamed of it, since he gave it to me to build you up, not to bring you down.



Well I am now hesitating, lest someone think that my letters are meant to terrify you,



as there are some people who are saying, ‘his letters may be harsh and serious, but his physical presence is pathetic and his speech unimpressive.’



But anyone who says so should think on this, that when we are present we shall behave in the same sort of way as do when we are at a distance in the words of our letters.



Of course we dare not judge ourselves or compare ourselves against those people who are boasting about themselves, but because they are judging themselves on their own criteria, they don’t understand. 

since the task of bringing this gift isn’t only supplying the needs of the holy ones, it also abounds with God’s praises.



Because this service is a test, we are giving glory to God that you have obediently confessed the Messiah’s gospel and that, even within your simple way of life, you have shared with them, and with everyone.



They are also offering their loving prayers for you because so much of God’s bounty has come upon you.



Praise be to God for his indescribable gift.

Chapter  XXV



It would be too much if I wrote a letter to you all about this service for the holy ones,



since I know how generous at heart you are and hence I boasted about you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and so this zeal of yours stirred many others to action,



and I sent those brothers hoping that we would not turn out to have been making such a boast in vain and that you would be ready just as I had said you would be,



that the Macedonians would not come with me and then discover that you were not ready, making us embarrassed for having made such a boast (perhaps we should say that it would be you that would be embarrassed).



That was why I was concerned to ask these brothers to go on ahead of me and to prepare the gift that you were told should have been ready a long time ago. This way it would be given as a blessing rather than as a result of greed.



Here is the point: If someone is miserly in his sowing, he will prove miserly in his reaping too, but if someone is generous in his sowing he will prove generous in his reaping,



each person from the heart, not under pressure or compulsorily, since God shows mercy to the joyful donor.



Every gift is really from God who gives you more and more so that you will always have what is sufficient for you in every way, and you will do more and more good things,



as it is written, “he has dispersed his gifts and given them to the poor, and his justice lasts forever,”1



and this one who gives the sower his seed and who provides bread to eat, he will provide your seed and turn it into a great harvest, and he will bring about much fruit as a result of your being acquitted.



You will become rich as a result, even in your simple way of life, and God’s praise will be made complete through our work, 1

Ps 112:9.

The point isn’t that you should be under greater pressure while others are relieved,



but that there might be equality for the moment, that your plenty may be for their need and also their abundance for your need. This should result in equality.



It is just as it is written, that “the one who received a lot did not have too much, while the one who received little was not deprived.”1



Thanks be to God, then, that he gave Titus this zeal for you in his heart.



He accepted our request and because he was so concerned about it he willingly set out to be with you,



and we sent our brother with him, the one that all the churches are praising in the gospel.



He was another one whom the churches elected to accompany us with the gift that we are bearing for God’s glory and our own encouragement.



We are being cautious, you see, so that nobody can put a slur on us as we discharge this great task.



We were being careful to act appropriately in the eyes of people, not just God.



We also sent our brother with them, the one who has always proved especially keen, and who is now keener than ever given the enormous confidence that he has in you.



So as for Titus, he is my colleague and my assistant among you, and as for those other brothers, they are the ones sent by the churches of the Messiah’s glory.



So from now on, in front of all the churches, show them the extent of your concern, and show them why we boast about you.

Chapter  

However, we are letting you know, brothers and sisters, about the divine gift that the Macedonian church offered,



and that even while experiencing enormous pressure, their joy was actually on the increase, and so also was the depth of their poverty increased by the riches of their simple lifestyles.



I may testify that, quite of their own accord and in line with what they could manage, in fact even beyond what they could manage,



they begged us profusely to have some part of the gift that was meant for serving the holy ones.1



This was not in line with our expectations. Rather, they gave themselves in the first place to our Lord and then also to us, in God’s will.



So we asked Titus to finish dealing with this gift in your case too, since he had started it off,



and you ought to experience an increase in this giving, just as you are in all other areas, in your faith, in the word, in your knowledge and hard work, and also in our own love for you.



I am not issuing an order, I am testing how firm your love really is by comparison with the eagerness of your colleagues.



You are, after all, aware of the gift that our Lord Jesus the Messiah gave. Although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that through his poverty you could be enriched.



I am making this suggestion to you that it would be to your advantage, since it was a year ago that you began not just to make plans but to carry them out.



So put your plans into action now. You are all too eager to make plans, so be just as eager to make it happen on the basis of what you have.



Where there is a desire, a person is accepted on the basis of what they have, not on what they don’t have.

‘holy ones’: the believers in Jerusalem for whom the gift Paul collected was intended. 1

This is how it is: God caused you some distress, but what came of it? A determination to clear your name, indignation, fear, love, zeal, and retribution. In this case you have demonstrated in every way that you are innocent.1



Now it was not the case that I wrote to you simply because of the wrong-doer, nor even on behalf of the victim. It was so that your determination to work with us would be evident before God.



It was this fact that brought us comfort, and also our happiness in Titus’ own joy, since he himself had been so revitalized by all of you,



and so I was in no way ashamed of boasting about you to him. Just as we had spoken completely truthfully with you, so also our boasts to Titus turned out to be quite true.



He also felt a great deal more sympathy for you when he thought about how obedient you had all been and how you had received him with such enormous respect.



I am so pleased that I may now have total confidence in you.

‘In this case’: Paul is still discussing the case of the individual who was turning the Corinthian church against him and who had now been punished for his actions by the rest of the church. 1

Chapter  XXIV



So then, my friends, since we have these promises we ought to cleanse ourselves of every material and spiritual impurity and we should develop holiness through our reverence for God.



Bear with us, brothers and sisters, we have not hurt or wronged anybody, or been a bad influence on anyone.



I’m not saying this to make you feel guilty. I have told you before that you are all in our hearts. We live and die together.



I have the privilege of speaking quite openly with you, and you are my great boast. I am so consoled, and so enormously joyful even through all my difficulties.



Even after we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies did not get any rest. We were under great pressure in every way, attacks from without, fears from within.



But then God, who comforts the week, comforted us when Titus arrived.



It was not just the fact that he arrived, but the fact that he had been so revitalized by being with you. He gave us the news all about your feelings for us, and about your sympathy and your eagerness for us. I was really so joyful when I heard this.



Now even though my letter made you unhappy, I’m not really sorry for that, albeit there was some regret. I see that, even if it did make you unhappy for a while,



it certainly made me happy, not because it made you unhappy, but because your unhappiness brought you to repent. It was a godly unhappiness. So we have not caused you any loss.



You see, when God causes unhappiness, this produces genuine repentance that cannot be undone and which turns one towards life. Unhappiness for worldly reasons, however, produces death. 

I’m addressing you as children in asking you to pay me my dues. Open your heart wide to me.



Do not be closely tied to unbelievers. What do justice and evil have in common? What mixture can there be between light and darkness?



What agreement can there be between the Messiah and Satan? How can a believer share anything with an unbeliever?



What alliance can there be between God’s temple and idols? You, on the other hand, are the very temple of the living God, as it is said, “I will live with them and walk with them and be their God, and they will be my people.”1



And therefore, “get out from among them! Be separate from them, says the Lord, do not approach anything unclean, and then I will accept you,”2



“and I will be your father and you will be my sons and daughters,”3 says the Lord, who possesses all things.

Chapter  

As your partners, we urge you not to let the grace of God that you have received turn out to be futile.



After all, he has said, “at the appropriate moment I answered you, on the day of life I helped you.”1 Well, now is the appropriate moment, now is the day of life!



Do not give anyone the least cause to trip up. Then there will no blot on our bringing of the message.



Instead, we need to prove that we are God’s emissaries in every way by our great endurance, the constraints we endure, the hardships and the stress,



by the violence we receive, the imprisonments, the mobs, the hard work, the sleepless nights, the fasting,



by our purity, knowledge, and long perseverance, by our kindness, by the Holy Spirit, and by guileless love,



by having a genuine message, by God’s power, and by the weapons of justice which we have at both our right and left hands,



in moments of glory and of shame, when the news is good and when we are under accusation of being liars, even though we are genuine,



treated as though we were strangers, even when we are well-known,2 and as though we were dying off, but see here we are alive!, and as though we were under punishment, though we aren’t dying,



as though we were always depressed, when in fact we are joyful, as though poor, even though we are enriching many, and as though we were empty-handed, when in fact we possess everything.



So, then, Corinthians, our words have been laid freely before you, and our heart made wide open to you.



We aren’t putting you under any pressure, though your own feelings are putting you under pressure. 1

Isa 49:8.

Lit. ‘as though not known, and yet known’. By ‘not known’, Paul seems to be implying that he often experienced the shame of being treated as a member of the out-group even among his own (Jewish) people. It is a difficult cultural feature to translate in contemporary English terms. 2

The reason that he died on behalf of everyone was that the living should live not for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.



Henceforth we do not know anyone in a material sense. If we did know the Messiah in a material sense, from now on we do not know him that way.



So anyone who is in the Messiah is a new creation. The former things have passed away



and everything has been made new by God, who in the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the task of bearing the message of reconciliation,



since God was in the Messiah, the one who reconciled the world by his supremacy, who did not reckon their sins against them, and who placed within us his message of reconciliation.



So then, we are ambassadors on the Messiah’s behalf, as if God were making a request of you on the Messiah’s behalf by means of us. Hence we make the request, that you be reconciled to God



since he made the one who had no knowledge of sin become sin for you, so that we might, in him, become God’s innocence.1

1

That is, ‘the ones declared innocent by God’, or ‘God’s righteous ones’.

Chapter  

We know that if this earthly, material house of ours were to be dissolved, we still have a divine building, a house that isn’t a human construction but that is eternal in heaven.



This is also the reason why we cry out in pain, and long to be clothed with our heavenly home,



and moreover once we have been clothed, we will no longer be naked.



So long as we are at present in this house, we cry out in pain because of its weight and we don’t want to be rid of it unless we should receive new clothing over the top of it, such that its mortality would be swallowed up by life.



And it is God who is preparing this for us, he who has given us the pledge of his Spirit.



Now, because we realize and are quite certain that so long as we are physically alive, we are absent from our Lord



(since we live by faith not sight),



we are, as a consequence, confident and cannot wait to become absent from our bodies and to be in the presence of our Lord;

and we take care that we are pleasing him whether we have departed it or are still dwelling in it.



After all, every one of us is going to stand before the Messiah’s place of judgment, where each person will answer for what good or evil things he may have done while he was physically present.



So it is because we know the fear of our Lord that we persuade people, and we are quite open before God as well as, I would think, being quite open before your own thoughts.



We aren’t glorifying ourselves to you again, but we are giving you a reason to boast about us before those people who are boasting outwardly rather than in what is in the heart.



If we are crazy, it is for God, and if we are orderly, then that is for you,



since the Messiah’s love forces us to realize this fact, that one died on behalf of everyone and that therefore everyone has died in him. 

We too, then, have a single Spirit of faith, as it is written, “I have believed and for this reason I also spoke.”1 We have believed and for this reason we also speak.



And we know that the one who raised our Lord Jesus will raise us too by means of Jesus, and he will draw us near to him, together with yourselves.



Everything is done on your account, so that as grace expands through many people, so thanksgiving will also expand, to God’s glory.



It is because of this that we are not tired, for even if our outer selves are corrupted, what is within is being daily renewed,



since the difficulties that we experience now, which are short and insignificant, are preparing for us a great glory that will be forever and ever,



because we rejoice in these invisible things, not in the visible ones. The latter are temporary, the former eternal.

Chapter  

This is why, because of the mercy that is upon us, we don’t tire of this work.



Instead, we have rejected secret and shameful ways; we don’t behave deceitfully, nor do we lie about God’s word; rather, in front of God we open ourselves up by revealing the truth to all men’s minds.



If our gospel is hidden at all, then it is so for those who are perishing,



people whose minds the god of this age has blinded to the point of unbelief, with the result that the light from the gospel of the Messiah’s glory (he who is God’s likeness) does not shine upon them.



For we don’t proclaim ourselves, but our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and ourselves, that we are your servants because of Jesus,



because God, who said, “may the light shine from the darkness,” 1 has shone in our hearts to enlighten us with the knowledge of God’s glory in the person of Jesus the Messiah.



We possess this treasure, however, in an earthen pot, so that the extent of its strength would be from God rather than from us;



for in everything we are hemmed in yet without being overwhelmed, under attack without being overcome;



we are persecuted yet without being abandoned, knocked down without being destroyed.



We are always carrying within our bodies the death of Jesus, that in our bodies Jesus’ life might be revealed as well.



Even if we are actually alive, we are being given up to death for Jesus, such that in this mortal body of ours Jesus’ life might be revealed as well.



At the moment death is working in us, but life in you. 

We aren’t like Moses was. He veiled his face so that the Israelites did not see the full extent of something that was, in fact, perishing.



In fact, their minds have been blinded, for even up until today that veil is still over them whenever the Old Covenant is read; they don’t realize that the Messiah has abolished it.



Even these days a veil lies over their hearts, whenever Moses is read,



and yet whenever one of them turns to the Lord, this veil is removed.



Now the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.



All of us, with our faces uncovered, see the Lord’s glory only as in a mirror, and yet we are being changed into that likeness, from one glory to another, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

Chapter  

Are we starting to prove to you who we are all over again? Do you require references about us to be written for you, like other people do? Or should you be writing references about us?



Actually, you are our own letter, written on our hearts, which everyone knows about and has read,



for you are aware that you are a letter from the Messiah, one that we carried, that was written by the Spirit of the living God rather than with ink, and on the tablets of the physical heart rather than on tablets of stone.



This is the sort of confidence towards God that we have in the Messiah,



not that we are so proud that we reckon any of this to come from ourselves, but our power is from God,



who made us worthy to be the bearers1 of this new covenant that is a spiritual rather than a written covenant; for writing kills, whereas the Spirit gives life.



Now if the bearing of the message of death was yet glorious despite being engraved in writing on stones (so much so that the Israelites could not look at Moses’ face because of its glory even though it was passing away),



then surely the bearing of the message of the spirit will be even more glorious than that!



If the task of bearing a message of condemnation was a glorious thing, then how much more glorious is going to be the task of bearing a message of justice!



By comparison to this extraordinary glory, the thing that was before made glorious was not really glorious at all,



and if something that has vanished was glorious, what persists is going to be far more glorious.



It is because we have this hope that we act so freely.  1

 ‘bearers’, or ‘ministers’.

Blessed be God! In the Messiah he always brings about our triumph and through us he is revealing everywhere the sweet fragrance of knowing him.



We are a sweet fragrance to God, in the Messiah, both for the living and the perishing;



to these latter it is a lethal fragrance that leads to death, but to the former it is a vital fragrance that leads to life. Who can measure up to such things?



We aren’t like those others who mix up what God has said with other things; instead we speak before God in the Messiah something that is both true and from God.

Chapter  

I made a firm decision with myself not to come to you again in a downcast mood,



since if I make you downcast, who else is there but those I have made downcast to make me glad again?



So I wrote this letter to you, so that upon my arrival people who ought to make me glad would not end up making me downcast instead. But I have confidence in you, that my gladness will also be yours.



It was under real compulsion and heartfelt agony that I wrote what I did, and with a deep sadness; not because I wanted to make you downcast, but so that you would realize just how much love I have for you.



In fact, if there is anyone who has brought about sorrow, then he has not affected just me, but to some extent he has affected all of you (lest my message for you be too severe).



When a number of people rebuke him, this will be enough,



and you ought now instead to forgive and comfort him, so that someone in such a situation does not become damaged by extreme depression.



So that is why I am asking you to affirm that you love him,



and this is another reason for my writing to you, to find out for sure whether you are being totally obedient.



Whomever you forgive I will as well, since what I forgave in him whom I forgave, was for your sakes, and I did it in the Messiah’s presence



so that Satan would not cheat us; we know about his schemes.

XXII



When I got to Troas with the Messiah’s gospel an opportunity opened up for me in the Lord.



I still did not rest easy within myself because I did not find my brother Titus, so I left them and went to Macedonia. 

with the aid of your prayers for us, so that the gift he has given us might be a blessing done for the sake of many people, and many people might praise him because of us.



This is what we are proud of, our conscience’s testimony, that we have behaved in the world with simplicity and purity, and by God’s grace, rather than with wisdom of the body, and especially so as regards your very selves.



Now I’m not writing anything to you that you aren’t fully aware of and that you don’t know about, and I’m sure that you will continue to be aware of them right up to the end,



just as you have realized to some degree that you should take pride in us just as we do in you in the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



This is why I was confident that I wanted to come and see you before, so that you may receive double the grace,



and pass by you to Macedonia, and then come back to you from Macedonia, and you would accompany me on the way to Judea.



Did I make this decision too peremptorily, or perhaps I was thinking only at a material level? For in these matters there ought to be a definite yes or a definite no.



God is faithful, so our message for you was neither yes nor no,



since Jesus the Messiah, God’s Son (whose message was brought to you through us, that is through me, Silvanus, and Timothy), was not ‘yes’ and ‘no’, but was ‘yes’ in him.



All God’s promises in the Messiah are ‘yes’ and because of this we give an ‘Amen’ to God’s glory through him.



It is God who is establishing our mutual relationship in the Messiah, he who anointed us



and then sealed us and placed in our hearts the pledge of his Spirit.



And I swear to God that I did not myself come to Corinth so as to feel sorry for you,



because we aren’t the masters of your faith, but we are assistants for your joy, since you stand in faith.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians Chapter  XXI



Paul, the Messiah’s apostle by God’s will, and brother Timothy, to God’s church in Corinth, and to all the saints found throughout Achaia.



Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, Father of mercies and God of all comfort,



he who comforts us through all our hardships, so that with that very comfort with which God comforts us we might also comfort people who are experiencing any sort of hardship.



We have as great a surplus of comfort through the Messiah as there is within us a surplus of his sufferings.1



But even if we are being held back, then that is for your comfort, and we are being held back for the sake of your lives; and if you are bringing us comfort then you will be comforted as well, and there will be an eagerness among you to endure those same sufferings that we have suffered.



We have firm expectations of you, since we know that if you are sharing our sufferings then you are also sharing what comforts us.



Now I want you to appreciate, brothers and sisters, the difficulties we experienced in Asia; we were held back beyond what our strength could bear, even such that our lives were near breaking point.



We had given up on our very lives, so as to have no confidence in ourselves, but only in God who raises the dead.



He it was who rescued us from violent death; and we have a hope that he will do so again 



1 Or, more literally, ‘just as much as the sufferings of the Messiah abound within us, so our comforts abound through the Messiah’.

I have a request for you regarding Stephen’s household, since you are aware that they were Achaea’s first-fruits and that they have given themselves to serving the saints;



I would ask that you listen carefully to people like them, and to anyone who has worked with us and helped us.



I’m so happy that Stephen, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, since they have made up for what I could not get from you.



They have refreshed my own spirit, and yours too; you should give such people recognition.



All the churches in Asia offer you greetings; and Aquilas and Priscilla, together with the church in their home, offer you special greetings.



All the brothers and sisters offer you their greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.



The greeting is in my, Paul’s, very own handwriting.



Whoever does not love our Lord Jesus, let him be cursed. Our Lord has come.



The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with you,



and my love be with all of you, in Jesus the Messiah.

Chapter  

In the business of collecting for the saints, you should act in just the same way that I told the Galatian church to.



On the first day of every week, each one of you should put aside and keep whatever he can manage, so that no offerings will have to be taken when I arrive.



Then, when I do arrive, I can send whichever people you have chosen, together with a letter, to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem,



and if it is appropriate that I should go too, then we can go together.



I will be arriving when I have come through Macedonia, as I am going through Macedonia now,



and maybe I will stay with you, or even pass the winter with you, so that wherever I go you may follow.



I don’t want to see you right now while I am just passing by, since I am hoping to stay with you for some time, if God will let me.



Until Pentecost I will be staying at Ephesus



because a significant door has been opened for me, full of opportunities, as well as there being a lot of opposition.



If Timothy comes to join you, take care that he isn’t afraid of you; he is doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.



Don’t neglect him, but help him safely on his way so that he can get to me, since I’m waiting for him together with the brothers and sisters.



As for Apollos, brothers and sisters, I strongly urged him to come to you, together with the brothers, but it seems that it was not in his plans to come to you. He will come to you when there is a chance to do so.



Be vigilant, stand firm in the faith, be bold,1 be strong.



Let everything you do be done lovingly, 

1



‘be bold’: lit. ‘be manly’.

and that is why it has been written that, “the first man Adam became a living mind,”1 while the second man became a life-giving spirit



(although actually it wasn’t the one with mind who existed first, but the one with spirit);



the first man was made of the earth from the ground; the second man was the Lord from heaven.



Those who are earthly are like him that was earthly, while those who are heavenly are like him who was from heaven.



Just as we have clothed ourselves with the likeness of him who is from the earth, so we shall clothe ourselves with the likeness of him who is from heaven.



But, brothers and sisters, let me tell you that flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavenly kingdom, and what is corruptible cannot inherit what is incorruptible.



Look, I’m telling you a mystery. Not everyone will die, but everyone will be transformed.



Suddenly, as in the blink of an eye, when the final trumpet-call sounds, then the dead will rise incorruptible and we shall be transformed.



This thing that gets corrupted is going to be clothed with incorruptibility; this thing that dies is going to be clothed with immortality.



When this thing, which corrupts and dies, has been clothed with incorruptibility and immortality, at that time the expression in the Scripture, “death has been victoriously beaten,”2 will come to pass.



So, death, where is your sting? And where, hell, is your victory?



Sin is death’s sting, and the Law is sin’s strength.



But thanks be to God who has given us victory in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



Brothers and sisters, my loved ones, be firm. Don’t be swayed. Instead, always be overflowing in the Lord’s work, since you know that when you toil for the Lord it isn’t in vain. 1

Gen 2:7.

2

Isa 25:8.

I swear it on your own boastfulness (which I own in Jesus the Messiah) that I die every day.



If dead people do not rise, then what did I gain by being thrown to the wild animals in Ephesus the way people are? Let us just eat and drink since we shall die tomorrow!



Don’t be deceived, sordid talking corrupts healthy intentions.

XX



Wake up to what is right! Do not sin! There are some people who don’t know God, and I’m telling you this to shame you!



Perhaps one of you might ask, ‘How will the dead rise, then? What sort of body would they come back with?’



What a fool! Unless it dies, the seed that you sow cannot live.



When you are sowing, the thing you sow isn’t the material body that is going to come into being; it is just the bare seed of wheat or barley, or of whatever sort it happens to be.



God gives it a body in line with his will, and he has given to each and every seed a body that is natural to it.



Not every material body is identical; a human body is one sort of a thing, while an animal’s body, or a bird’s body, or a fish’s body, are all different;



there are bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth, though the glory of the heavenly bodies and that of the earthly bodies are different.



The sun’s glory and the moon’s glory are different, and so too is the glory of the stars, and one star may exceed the glory of another star.



This is the case also with life after death; they are sown as corruptible and rise as incorruptible.



they are sown as ignoble, they rise as glorious; they are sown as weak, they rise as powerful;



they are sown as bodies with minds, they rise as bodies with spirits. You see, there are such things as bodies with minds and bodies with spirits, 

I suppose that those who have passed away in the Messiah have also been destroyed.



If we have hope in the Messiah only within this life, then we are more pitiable than anyone,



but as it is, the Messiah has risen from the dead and has become the first-fruits of those who have passed away,



and life after death is coming through a person, in just the same way that death came through a person.



Also, everyone is coming to life in the Messiah in just the same way that everyone was dying in Adam.



This will happen for each in their turn; the Messiah is the first-fruits, and after that, when he comes, those that are in the Messiah.



Then it will be the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father and when every ruler, authority, and power has been destroyed.



He will rule until he has placed all his enemies beneath his feet, and



the final enemy to be destroyed will be death.



He has subjected everything under his feet, yet although he said that everything would be subjected to him, he clearly meant everything except him who did the subjecting.



When everything has become subject to him, at that time even the Son will be subjected to him who caused everything else to be subjected to the Son. The result is that God shall become all in all.



If it isn’t so, what are the people who are baptized for the dead doing? If the dead do not rise, why be baptized for the dead?



And why are we constantly putting ourselves in danger? 

Chapter  

I am explaining to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I proclaimed to you, that you accepted, that you have stood for,



and that you live by — if indeed you do remember the arguments with which I proclaimed it to you and if you have not been faithful to no purpose.



I originally handed it on to you just as I had received it, that the Messiah died on behalf of our sins, as it is written,



and that he was buried and that he rose on the third day, as it is written;



and he appeared to Cephas and after him to the twelve,



and after that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters all at once. Many of these are still living even now, and others have passed away.



After this he appeared to James, and after him to all the apostles,



but then last of all he appeared to me like some premature baby.



I am the smallest of the apostles, and I don’t deserve to be called one, because I persecuted God’s church.



It is by God’s grace that I am what I am, and his grace in me did not lack purpose. I worked harder than all of them — not I myself, but his grace that was with me.



But whoever it was, them or me, we proclaimed it, and you came to believe in it.



So then, if what was proclaimed was that the Messiah rose from the dead, how can it be that there are some of you that are saying that there is no life after death?



And if there is no life after death then the Messiah has also not risen.



And if the Messiah has not risen, then both our proclamation and your believing it have been pointless.



We would also turn out to be false witnesses to God, since, even though God did not raise the Messiah from the dead, we have testified that he did, 



So I’m telling you this, brothers and sisters, that when you gather together, let everything be done to edify, whether someone has a song or piece of teaching, or someone has a revelation, or a language, or the interpretation.



If someone does speak in a language, let two people speak, or sometimes three, and each one should speak in turn, and one person should interpret.



If there is no-one to interpret it, then the person who is speaking in a language should be silent while in the church and should just talk to themselves, and to God.



Let two or three prophets speak while the rest weigh it up,



and if a revelation comes to someone else while he is sitting down, then the first speaker should be quiet.



All of you can prophesy in turn, so that everyone may learn something and everyone may be edified.



You see, the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets,



because God is peaceful not provocative, and this is the case in all the churches of the saints.



Your wives should be quiet in church; it isn’t common practice for them to speak.1 Instead they should be subject, as the Mosaic Law also says.



If there is something they want to learn about, then they should ask their husbands about it at home, since when wives talk in church it brings shame.



Surely it was not from you that God’s word came, or only for your benefit that it arrived!



Those of you who think of yourselves as prophets and spiritual people will realize that what I have written to you are the Lord’s commands.



May those who do not realize this remain in ignorance. 



‘it is not common practice for them to speak’: or ‘they are not allowed to speak’.

Whoever speaks in a language ought to pray that he can interpret it.



When I pray in a language, it is my spirit that is praying while my mind is unfruitful.



What do I do then? I shall pray both with my spirit and with my mind, and I shall sing both with my spirit and with my mind.



Otherwise, if you pronounce a spiritual blessing, how can the people in the non-members’ seats,1 who don’t understand what you said, say an ‘Amen’ to your thanksgiving?



You might be giving a wonderful blessing but your neighbor isn’t edified.



I thank God that I speak in languages more than all of you,



but in the church I would prefer to say five words with my mind so as to teach others than to say a mass of words in a language.



Brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in how you think. Be childish with regard to evil things, but be grown up in how you think.



In the Mosaic Law, it says, “I shall speak with these people in foreign speech, in another language, and even then they will not obey me, says the Lord.”2



So then, languages have been established as a sign, not for the faithful but for unbelievers, whereas prophecies are for believers rather than for unbelievers.



If the whole church gets together and everybody speaks in languages, and a non-member or an unbeliever comes in, will they not say, ‘these people are out of their minds’?



But if a non-member or an unbeliever comes in while all of you are prophesying, he will feel cross-examined and admonished by you all,



his heart’s secrets will be revealed, and then he will fall down, worship God, and say, ‘God really is among you’. 



‘the people in the non-members’ seats’: lit. ‘one who fills the place of an unlearned man’. 1

2

Isa 28:11–12.

Chapter  

Pursue love, and desire the Spirit’s gifts, especially that of prophesying,



since when someone speaks in a language, he is speaking to God, not to people; no one can really hear what is being said, instead he is talking spiritually about a mystery.



But when someone prophesies, he is talking to people, edifying them, encouraging them, consoling them.



Someone speaking in a language edifies himself, someone prophesying edifies the church.



I would like all of you to speak in languages, but I would like even more for you to prophesy, since someone who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in a language, unless he interprets it. If he does, then he is edifying the church.



If I were now to visit you, brothers and sisters, and speak with you in languages, what good would that do you unless what I talked to you about was a revelation or a piece of information, a prophecy or a teaching?



If lifeless objects that produce sounds, such as flutes or harps, fail to make a distinction between one note and the next, how can whatever is being sung or played be comprehensible?



Who would get ready for battle if the trumpet did not make a clear sound?



In the same way, if you give a message in a language without any interpretation, how can what you have said be comprehensible? It would be as if you were talking into thin air.



There are many sorts of languages in the world and they all have sounds,



but if I don’t understand the meaning of the sounds, then I am like a foreigner to the person who is speaking them, and he is like a foreigner to me.



So since you are so keen to acquire the Spirit’s gifts so as to edify the church, you should try to have them in abundance. 

If I spoke in the language of men and of angels but did not have love then I would be a resounding gong, or noisy cymbals.



If I became a prophet and understood all the mysteries and every piece of knowledge, and if I had complete faith so as to move mountains, but did not have love then I would be nothing.



If I fed the poor with all I have and gave my body to be burned but did not have love, then I am not gaining anything.



Love is long-suffering and gentle; love isn’t jealous, troublesome, or arrogant,



it does not bring shame on people, nor does it look out for itself or get angry, and it does not think evil thoughts.

It rejoices in the truth rather than in lawlessness.



It can cope with anything and trusts everything; it is always hopeful and bears everything along.



Prophecies may come to nothing, tongues may fall silent, knowledge may disappear, but love will never fall.



For what we understand is so very little, and what we prophecy about is so very little,



but when fulfillment comes, that which is only little will disappear.



When I was a child I spoke like a child does, and thought like a child does, and reasoned like a child does. But when I became a man I got rid of these childlike things.



For the moment we see things in pictures, like in a mirror. But at that time it will be face to face. For the moment I understand so very little. But at that time I shall understand as well as I am understood.



These are three things we are left with: faith, and hope, and love, and the greatest of them is love.

and if a hand says, ‘I am not an eye, and so I don’t belong the body,’ does it really not belong to the body simply for that reason?



If the whole body were just an eye, how would it hear? If the whole body were for hearing, how would it smell?



In fact, God has positioned each and every part of the body in line with his will.



But then if all the body-parts are one, then where is the body itself?



Well, the body is single even though the parts are many,



and so the eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you,’ nor can the head say to the legs, ‘I don’t need you.’



On the contrary, it is those parts that are thought of as being weak that are necessary,



and we bestow great honor upon those parts that are thought to be the most unpleasant.



The parts of our bodies that are most prized really have no need of it, since God composed the body and gave the highest honor to the most insignificant part,



in such a way that the body may not be divided but rather that all the parts may have an equal concern for each other.



So whenever one part is in pain, all the other parts will suffer too, and whenever one part is affirmed, all the other parts are affirmed too.



You are the Messiah’s body, all of you in your own positions.

XVIII



In his church, God has placed firstly the apostles, and after them the prophets; then there are the teachers, and then the miracle-workers, and after them the healing-gifts, the helpers, the leaders, and the various types of languages. 

Chapter  

On the subject of spiritual things, brothers and sisters, I want you to realize



that you used to be pagans, blindly led away towards idols that are unable to speak.



This is why I’m letting you know that there is no one who has God’s Spirit and yet who says ‘Jesus be damned’, and also that it is only by the Holy Spirit that anyone is able to say ‘Jesus is Lord.’



There is a division of gifts, but a single Spirit,



a division of services, but a single Lord,



and a division of powers, but a single God, who does everything for everyone.



However, each person receives a spiritual revelation insofar as it is useful to them.



One person might receive from the Spirit some wise message, while someone else might receive a piece of knowledge from the same Spirit.



One person receives faith from the same Spirit and another, again from the same Spirit, receives healing gifts.



Powers are granted to this person, prophecy to that one; here the ability to discern spirits, there different sorts of languages, and to someone else the ability to interpret the languages.



A single Spirit brings about all these things and distributes them to everyone as it sees fit,



for the Messiah is just the same as a single body which has many parts to it. All the parts of the body, even though they are numerous, are a single body.



All of us too were baptized into a single body by a single Spirit, whether we are Jews or pagans, slaves or free men, and all of us have drunk a single Spirit.



On the other hand, the body is not a single part but many,



and if a leg says, ‘I am not a hand, and so I don’t belong to the body,’ does it really not belong to the body simply for that reason? 

That is why each person should examine themselves and then eat of the bread and drink of the cup,



because anyone who eats and drinks of it without being worthy is eating and drinking guilt upon themselves because they have not discerned the Lord’s body.



That is why many of you are sick and weak, and many have passed away.



You see, if we were to pass judgment on ourselves then we should not ourselves be subject to judgment,



but when we are subject to judgment it is the Lord disciplining us, so that we might not be condemned along with the world.



So then, brothers and sisters, when you gather together to eat, wait for each other.



If anyone is hungry he should take a meal at home, so that you don’t gather only to condemn yourselves. As for everything else, I will give the orders when I arrive.

But if someone disagrees about this, then we do not have any particular custom, not even in God’s church.

XVII



I’m not crediting you with anything when I give you these commands, for you have not progressed forwards; you have actually sunk lower.



In fact, I hear that when you gather together in church you actually divide yourselves up, and I believe this to some extent.



Disagreements will arise among you, so you may discover for yourselves who to approve of.



But when you gather together, you do not eat and drink in a manner appropriate to our Lord’s day;



instead, one person eats their supper first, another is hungry, another is drunk!



Don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Have you no respect for God’s church? Do you want to insult the poor? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for it? No, not for this.



For myself, I received from our Lord what I then handed over to you, that on that night when he was himself handed over, our Lord took the bread,



he blessed it and broke it, and said, ‘take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you. Do this to remember me.’



In the same way after they had eaten, he also took the cup, gave it, and said, ‘this is the cup of the new covenant in my blood. Do this every time you drink, to remember me.’



Any time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are recalling our Lord’s death until his coming.



Whoever eats of the Lord’s bread and drinks from his cup without being worthy of it, is guilty of the Lord’s blood and body. 

Chapter  

Imitate me because I too am in the Messiah.



I praise you, brothers and sisters, for always thinking of me and for keeping the commands, insofar as I have passed them on to you.



I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, as the man is head of the woman, and God head of the Messiah.



Any man who prays or makes prophecies while his head is covered brings shame upon his own head,



while any woman who prays or makes prophecies while her head is not covered brings shame upon her own head. It is the same as if her head were shorn.



If the woman’s head isn’t covered she should also have her hair cut off. If it is disgusting for the woman to have her hair cut off and shorn, then she should be covered up.



A man should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, whereas the woman is man’s glory,



since woman came from man, not man from woman,



and moreover man was not created for woman’s sake, but woman for man’s sake.



This is why a woman should have an authority over her head, for the angels’ sake.



In our Lord, on the other hand, a man is not separate from a woman, nor is a woman separate from a man,



since a man comes through a woman just as much as woman comes from man, yet both originate with God.



Make your own decision. Is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?



Does not nature teach you that it is unpleasant for a man to grow his hair,



whereas when a woman’s hair is long, that is her crowning glory, since she was given hair in place of any covering? 

although if someone tells you that it has been sacrificed, then don’t eat it, both for the sake of the person speaking to you, and for conscience’s sake.



The conscience I’m talking about isn’t yours, but is that of the person speaking to you. For why should another man’s conscience sit in judgment upon my freedom?



If I do make use of my freedom, then why should I be reprimanded because of something that I’m thankful for?



So whatever you eat, whatever you drink, and whatever you do, do all of it for God’s glory.



Do not be a cause of offence to Jews, or to pagans, or to God’s church,



just as I too in all matters am favorable to everyone. I do not look out for what is best for me, but for what is best for the majority, so that they might be brought to life.

 

This is why you should run away from idol-worship, my friends.



I’m saying all this as if talking to wise people. Weigh up what I am saying.



Is the cup of thanksgiving, which we bless, not a way of partaking of the Messiah’s blood? Is the bread which we break not a way of partaking of the Messiah’s body?



Because that bread is a single piece, we are all a single body, since we all take from that single piece of bread.



Think about those who literally were Israelites. Were not the ones who ate the sacrifices partaking in the altar?



What am I saying? That there is something to an idol, or to a sacrifice made to an idol? No.



Yet when pagans make sacrifices, they are sacrificing to demons, not to God, and I don’t want you to partake of demons!



You cannot drink both our Lord’s cup and the cup of demons, and neither can you partake of our Lord’s table and also the demons’ table.



Surely we would not provoke our Lord’s jealousy? Surely we aren’t stronger than him, are we?



‘I am authorized to do anything,’ though not everything is advantageous. ‘I am authorized to do anything,’ though not everything is constructive.1



No one should look out for himself but everyone should look out for his neighbor.



You may eat anything sold in the market place without your conscience being worried about it,



since “the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.”2



If a pagan invites you out and you are willing to go, then eat whatever is put in front of you without your conscience being worried about it, 

Chapter  XVI



I want you to realize, brothers and sisters, that all of our ancestors were under a cloud, and they all crossed over the sea,



and by the cloud and the sea Moses baptized all of them.



They all ate a single spiritual food,



and drank a single spiritual drink, since they drank from the spiritual rock that came along with them, and, what is more, this rock was the Messiah.



With most of them, though, God was not pleased and they died in the desert.



This has become an example for us, so that we will not hanker after bad things like they did.



Also, we shall not become idol-worshippers, like some of them did, as it is written, that “the people sat down and ate and drank, then got up and played games.”1



And we shall not be promiscuous, like some of them were, and 23,000 of them died in a single day.



And we shall not tempt the Messiah, like some of them did, and snakes killed them.



And you should not complain like some of them did, and the destroyer killed them off.



Everything that happened to them happened to provide an example for us and was written down to teach us, upon whom the end of the world is coming.



So whoever thinks they are standing should be careful that they don’t fall down.



No temptation will come upon you that isn’t normal and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can cope with; rather, he will provide a way out of your temptation so that you are able to get through it.

So this is how I run then, not as though I were going for something I don’t know about, and this is how I fight, not as though I were fighting against thin air.



Instead, I tame my body and keep it under control; otherwise I myself, who have proclaimed the gospel to other people, might be rejected.

 

Hence our Lord also commanded that those who proclaim his gospel should make their living from his gospel.1



But I have not exercised any of these rights, nor have I written this so that I may receive them. It would be better for me to die than to let anyone take away something I’m proud of.



Even the fact that I proclaim it isn’t a source of pride to me, since it has been laid upon me as an obligation. How terrible it would be if I did not proclaim it!



If I were to do it on my own initiative, then I would have a reward. If not on my own initiative, then I have been entrusted with a management role.



So what is my reward? It is that when I proclaim the gospel of the Messiah I am enacting it without claiming expenses, and without exercising the right that the gospel gives me.



Although I am free from everything, I make myself a slave to everyone, so that I may win many.



When I was among Jews I was a Jew so as to win Jews; when I was with those subject to the Mosaic Law, I was as one subject to that Law so as to win those under it;



to those who did not have that Law, I was as one who is without the Law, so as to win even those who are without it, even though I myself am not without it in God’s eyes, but am within the Messiah’s Law;



and to those who are weak I was like a weak person, so as to win the weak. I was everything to everyone, so as to bring life to everyone.



I’m doing this so as to participate in the proclamation of the gospel.



Don’t you realize that when people race on the track, although all of them are running, only one of them is victorious? Race, then, so as to get to that point.



Anyone who takes part in such a contest takes control of their mind, yet they run to win a crown that will fade away, whereas we run for one that will not.  1

Chapter  

Aren’t I a free man? Aren’t I an apostle? Have I not seen our Lord Jesus the Messiah? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?



I have at least been an apostle to you, if not to anyone else, and you have underwritten my claim to be an apostle.



My defense against my critics is as follows:



Do I not have the right to eat and drink?



Do I not have the right to go around with a sister-wife1 like the other apostles and our Lord’s brothers do, and like Cephas does?



Or is it just Barnabas and I who don’t have the right to be out of employment?



Who serves in the army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating its fruit? Who takes care of sheep without drinking the milk from the flock?



Is it as a man that I am saying all this? Surely the Law says it too,



for the Mosaic Law says, “Don’t muzzle the ox when it is treading the grain.”2 Does God really care about the ox?



Is it not obvious that he says this in reference to us? In fact, it was written for us, because the one who tills the soil and the one who treads the crop have a right to do these things in expectation of payment.



If we have sown among you spiritually, is it such a big thing if we reap a harvest from you materially?



If you give others this sort of right over you, should we not have it even more? But then we do not exercise such a right, but rather put up with anything so that we might not hinder the gospel of the Messiah in any way.



Don’t you realize that people who work in the temple are maintained by the temple, and people who work at the altar receive their share from the altar? 

1

‘sister-wife’: i.e. a believing (Christian) wife.

Chapter  XV



About idol sacrifices: we realize that we all have knowledge, and that knowledge makes people self-important whereas love builds people up.



If someone thinks they know something, they do not yet know anything in the way they ought to know it,



whereas, if someone loves God, then they are also known to him.



So, about meat that is sacrificed to idols: we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one.



Even though, in heaven and earth, there are things called ‘gods’, just as there are many gods and many lords,



still for us there is one God the Father, from whom was everything, and we are in him, and one Lord Jesus the Messiah, by whom was everything, and we are by him.



Yet not everyone has this knowledge. There are some people, who up to now, have been consciously eating as though [the meat] had been sacrificed to idols, and because they are weak, their consciences are marred.



But meat isn’t what brings us close to God, since we do no better by eating it, nor do we do any worse by not eating it.



But watch out that this discretion that you have does not cause weak people to fall,



because if someone sees you, a person with knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, would not his conscience, because it is weak, affirm for him that he should eat the sacrifices?



And then, because of your knowledge, this weak person, for whom the Messiah died, will be destroyed.



And if you hurt your brothers and sisters in this way and exploit their weak consciences, then surely it is the Messiah that you are really hurting.



This is why, if meat makes my brother or sister fall, I will never eat it again, so as not to make him fall. 

However, someone who has definitely made up his mind without any compulsion, who has the power to choose, and who has firmly decided to keep his unmarried daughter, then he is acting well.



Someone who gives his unmarried daughter away acts well, but someone who does not is doing even better.



A married woman is bound by law so long as her husband is alive, but if her husband dies she is free to be with whomever she wants, but only if he is in our Lord.



It is my opinion that she would be better off staying as she is. I also think God’s Spirit is within me.

 

I have no command from God on the subject of virginity, yet I give advice as a man who has received God’s grace to be trustworthy.



I think of it as a positive thing, because of the needs of the hour; it is good for a man to live that way.



Are you bound to your wife? Do not ask to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not ask for one.



You aren’t sinning if you do take a wife, and a virgin isn’t sinning if she becomes a man’s. Such people will have difficulties in life, but then I am being lenient towards you.



But I am telling you, brothers and sisters, there isn’t much time left. So, those who have wives should be as though they did not,



those who are bereaved as though they were not bereaved, those who are happy as though they were unhappy, those who buy things as though they owned nothing.



People who deal in this world should not do so any more than they really need to, for the ways of this world are passing away



That is why I want you to be without any worries, and those who are unmarried concern themselves with their Lord, and with how to please their Lord,



whereas the married man is worried about this world, and with how to please his wife.



Married and unmarried women are different.1 A woman who has no husband is concerned for her Lord, so as to be physically and spiritually holy, whereas the woman who has a husband is concerned about the world, with how to please her husband.



I’m telling you this for your own benefit, not to lay a trap for you, but so that you may be faithful to your Lord by following a pleasing way of life, without being worried about this world.



But if someone feels shame on account of his unmarried daughter, that her moment has passed and he hasn’t yet given her away to anyone, and that it would be appropriate to do so, let him do as he wishes. He isn’t sinning. She may marry. 

And any woman who has an unbelieving husband, who is willing to stay with her, should not abandon her husband.



This is because the unbelieving man is made holy by his believing wife, and an unbelieving woman is made holy by her believing husband. Were it otherwise, their children would be impure. But actually they are clean.



But if the unbeliever separates, let him do so. A brother or sister isn’t bound in such a situation. God called us to live in peace.



For how do you, being a wife, know whether you will bring life to your husband, and how do you, being a husband, know whether you will bring life to your wife?



Let each person follow the way of life that the Lord has assigned to them and to which God has called them. This is what I command all the churches.



When a man is called only after he has been circumcised, he ought not to return to uncircumcision; and if it was while he was still uncircumcised, he ought not to become circumcised.



After all, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amount to anything, only keeping God’s commands.



Everyone ought to remain in the way of life they were in when they were called.



If you were a slave when you were called, don’t concern yourself with it, though if it is possible to be emancipated, choose to serve.1



Anyone who is called by our Lord while he is a slave is God’s freedman, and likewise anyone who is called while a free man is the Messiah’s slave.



You were bought for a price; you ought not to become slaves of men.



Brothers and sisters, let each person remain in whatever state they were called in, for God. ‘choose to serve’: the Greek most likely means, ‘if it is possible to be emancipated, then take your chance’. But the Antiochian exegete John Chrysostom argued that it meant ‘if it possible… choose to remain in servitude’. The Peshitta seems to have used a translation of Chrysostom’s wording in order to provide a particular interpretation. 1

Chapter  XIV



About one of the things you wrote to me about: ‘it is good for a man not to approach a woman.’1



But then, because there is promiscuity, each man ought to have his own wife and each woman her husband.



A husband should offer the respect that is due to his wife, and so also a wife to her husband.



It isn’t the wife, but her husband, who has authority over her body, and also it isn’t the husband but his wife who has authority over his body.



So don’t cheat each other, unless you both agree to give yourselves for a while to fasting and prayer. You ought then get back to it again, so that Satan cannot tempt you through your physical lust.



But I’m not telling you this as a command, but only as if to people who are weak.



I wish that everyone were as self-controlled as I,2 but God bestows his gifts upon each person, with different gifts for different people.



But to bachelors and widows I suggest it would be best if they remain as I am.



If they cannot cope with this, then let them get married, since it would be better to take a wife than to burn up with lust.



Yet to married men I give a command (not I, but my Lord), that the wife should not separate from her husband.



If she does separate, then she ought to remain without a man, unless she is reconciled to her husband; and a man ought not to abandon his wife.



To everyone else I suggest (I, not my Lord), if there is a brother who has an unbelieving wife who is willing to stay with him, then he should not abandon her. 1

See note for 6:13.

‘self-controlled’: or ‘morally pure’ or ‘chaste’. The meaning here is restricted to the sexual sphere. 2

food belongs to the stomach, and the stomach is for food.’1 But God will get rid of both of them. The body isn’t for promiscuity; it is for our Lord, and our Lord is for the body.

And God raised our Lord up, and by his power will raise us up too.



Don’t you realize that your bodies are parts of the Messiah’s body. Can one take the Messiah’s body-parts and make them parts of a prostitute’s body? Of course not!



Or don’t you realize that whoever attaches themselves to a prostitute is one body, for it is said, “the two of them shall become one body,” 2



whereas whoever attaches themselves to our Lord is a single spirit with him.



Run away from promiscuity. Whatever sin someone commits is done outside their own body, but when someone is promiscuous they are sinning against their own body.



Or don’t you realize that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who lives within you, the one you received from God? You do not belong to yourselves;

you were bought for a price. So glorify God with both your bodies and your spirits; both of them belong to God.

The words in speech marks are most likely a quotation from a letter written by the Corinthian church to Paul. 1

Gen 2:24.

Chapter  

If any of you had a lawsuit against your brother or sister, would you dare to have it heard before evil people rather than before saints?



Or don’t you realize that it will be the saints who will judge the world? Moreover, if you are going to judge the world, surely you are competent to judge in insignificant matters, aren’t you?



Don’t you realize that we shall be judging angels? How much more so matters that belong to this world?



If you have some worldly lawsuit, then set people who are little esteemed within the church in judgment over you.



I am telling you, if you really don’t have even one wise man among you who is competent to reconcile two brothers, then there is shame upon you.



Instead of this, brothers are bringing public lawsuits against each other, and even do so in front of unbelievers!



You have already condemned yourselves for bringing lawsuits against each other. Why not just suffer an injustice? Why not be cheated?



Instead, you do injustices even to your own brothers and sisters, and cheat them.



Or don’t you realize that unjust people will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived, because promiscuous people, idolworshippers, those who commit adultery, those guilty of corruption, men who sleep with other men,



the unjust, thieves, drunks, those who are insolent or over-possessive — all these sorts of people will not inherit God’s kingdom.



Such things as these used to be present among you, but you have been purified, made holy, and acquitted in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah and in our God’s Spirit.



‘I am authorized to do anything, but not everything is advantageous to me. I am authorized to do anything, but no one shall exercise authority over me; 

Chapter  

In a word, it is reported that there is sexual perversity among you, of such a kind that even pagans do not practice, even as far as sons sharing their father’s partners.



And you are proud of yourselves! Shouldn’t you rather be sitting down in grief that someone who has behaved this way is still among you?



I may be physically far away from you, but I am close to you spiritually, and just as if I were nearby, I have already made a decision about the person who did this,



that you should all of you get together in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah (and I will be with you in spirit, and so will the strength of our Lord Jesus the Messiah)



and hand him over to Satan to do harm to his body, so that on the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah he might be made spiritually alive.



Your self-glorifying isn’t appropriate. Don’t you realize that a small amount of yeast will cause the whole batch of dough to rise?



Clear yourselves of old yeast. Become a new batch, as if you were without yeast. For the Messiah, who was sacrificed for us, is our Passover.



We shall not observe the feast using old yeast, or with evil or bitter yeast, but with pure and holy yeast.



I wrote to you in a letter that you ought not to mix with promiscuous people.



I’m not talking about promiscuous people from this world, or greedy, possessive people, or idol-worshippers. If I was, you would have to cut yourselves off from the world!



What I wrote you is that you ought not to mix with a promiscuous person if, as well as being promiscuous, or greedy, or an idolworshipper, or insolent, or a drunk, or over-possessive, he or she also happens to be called a brother or sister. Do not even share bread with such a person. 

Up to now, we have been hungry and thirsty, naked and beaten, we have had nowhere to stay,



we work and toil away with our own hands; when people reject us we bless them; when they persecute us we endure it;



when they disparage us we appeal to them. Up to now we have been the world’s garbage, everyone’s throwaways.



I’m not saying all this to embarrass you. I am simply advising you like children I love.



Although you have many teachers in the Messiah, you do not have many fathers. For I was the one who, through the gospel, became your father in Jesus the Messiah.



That is why I appeal to you to become like me,

XIII



and why I have sent you Timothy, a much-loved son of mine who is trustworthy in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in the Messiah which is in line with what I teach in all the churches.



But some of you have given yourselves airs, as though I were not coming to you.



But God-willing I will come to you very soon and discover the real strength of those who are exalting themselves, not just their talk.

For God’s rule has to do with strength rather than talk.

How do you want it to be? Shall I come to you with my stick? Or with love and a gentle spirit?

Chapter  

Hence you have reckoned us as the Messiah’s servants, treasurers of God’s mysteries.



Furthermore, it is now required of treasurers that they be found to be trustworthy



As far as I’m concerned, it does not matter if you, or anyone else, judge me. Even I don’t judge myself.



I have nothing against myself, but then that is not how I am acquitted. It is the Lord that judges me.



This is why you should not make judgments before the time when the Lord comes. He will cast a light upon what is hidden by the darkness, he will reveal people’s inner thoughts, and at that time each man will get his praise from God.



I have said all this about Apollos and myself, brothers and sisters, for your own sakes, so that you may learn from us not to think beyond what is written,1 and so that no one will exalt himself above his neighbor for anyone’s sake.



Who is examining you?2 Or what do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, then why do you boast as though you did not?



For some time now you have been satisfied and wealthy; you have taken control in our absence. If only you really were in control! Then we might be in control as well!



I reckon God has made us to be the least of the apostles, as if we were meant to die, since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and men.



For the Messiah’s sake we are fools, while you are wise in the Messiah. We are weak, you strong. You are praised while we are disgraced. 



‘think’: an addition by the Peshitta translator to clarify that Paul is referring to a well-known saying. 1

‘examining’: the Greek term means both ‘examine’ and ‘mark as different, distinguish’, whereas the Syriac term bears only the first of these meanings. 2

while the one whose work burns down will lose out; he will escape, but only as it were from the flames.



Don’t you realize that you are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit is living in you?



God will destroy whoever destroys his temple since God’s temple, which is what you are, is holy.



No one should deceive themselves. Any one of you who thinks that they are wise within this world should become a fool so as to become wise.



For worldly wisdom is nonsense to God, as it is written that “he captures the wise in their own sophistication,”1



and again, “the Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are meaningless.”2



This is why no one should glory in people, for everything belongs to you,



whether it be Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, present things, future things; everything belongs to you,



and you belong to the Messiah and the Messiah belongs to God.

Chapter  

As it is, brothers and sisters, I am unable to talk with you as though you were spiritual people, but only as though you were material people, like those who are babies in the Messiah.



I have fed you with milk rather than giving you meat since you have not till now been able to take it, and you are still unable to do so.



For the moment you are merely material. As long as there are strife, disagreements, and divisions among you, aren’t you being merely material, living in a merely material way?



When one of you says, ‘I am Paul’s,’ and another says, ‘I am Apollos’s,’ aren’t you being merely material?



After all, what is Paul? What is Apollos? They are nothing but the servants through whom you came to faith, each doing as God required of us.



I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.



So the one who plants is nothing, and neither is the one who waters, but it is God who gives the growth.



The planter and the waterer are one, and each receives his wages in line with his task,



for we work together with God, and you are both God’s handiwork and his building.



In line with the grace that God gave me I laid the foundation like a wise architect does, but then someone else built on top of it. Everyone should be careful how they build on it,



since no one may establish any foundation other than the one that is already laid, which is Jesus the Messiah,



and when anyone builds on this foundation, whether it be gold, silver, or precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble,



each person’s work will be revealed because the daytime will reveal it. It will be revealed by fire, and everyone’s work will be what the fire shows it to be.



The one who builds a work that endures will receive his reward, 

We also talk about this, not by our knowledge of words and human wisdom but by spiritual knowledge, and we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.1



Someone who has only a mind does not accept spiritual things, since they are nonsense to him. He cannot understand them since they are spiritually judged.



The spiritual person makes judgments on everything but isn’t judged by anyone,



for “who knows the Lord’s mind that he may teach him?”2 We, however, have the Messiah’s mind.

‘explain’: lit. ‘compare’ (the term is a calque on the Greek verb).

Chapter  

And, brothers and sisters, when I came to you and preached God’s mystery, I did not do so with great speeches or with education,



and I did not reckon myself as knowing anything among you except Jesus the Messiah, and him crucified.



I was terribly frightened when I was with you,



and I did not speak nor proclaim the message using persuasive and educated speech but with a demonstration of spiritual power,



so that your faith might not be based on human wisdom but on divine power.



We do impart wisdom among the perfect, however. It isn’t a worldly wisdom, or one that comes from worldly authorities that will cease to exist.



The wisdom we impart is divine and is a mystery that was hidden and which God set apart long ago, before the world, for our glory,



and which none of the worldly authorities understood, else they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.



But as it is written, “the eye has not seen what God has prepared for those that love him, the ear has not heard it, nor has it penetrated the human heart.”1



But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit reaches everywhere, even to the depths of God.



What person is there who knows what is within someone, except that person’s own spirit within them? So also nobody knows what is within God except God’s Spirit.



The Spirit that we have received, however, isn’t worldly but divine, that we might understand what gifts God has given us. 

 

Surely the Messiah isn’t divided! Surely Paul was not crucified for you! Surely you were not baptized into the name ‘Paul’!



I praise God that I didn’t baptize any of you, save only Crispus and Gaius,



otherwise someone might suggest that I was baptizing into my own name!



I did also baptize Stephen’s household, but I don’t know whether I baptized anyone else.



The Messiah did not send me out to baptize people but to proclaim something, not using clever speech, in case the Messiah’s cross should become meaningless.



For talk about the cross seems senseless to those who are perishing, but to those who are alive it is God’s strength.



It is written that, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will deprive the intelligent of their ideas.”1



Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the worldly politician? Has not God made this world’s wisdom into something senseless?



Because the world, in its wisdom, did not know God, God wanted, in his own wisdom, to bring believers to life by means of a senseless proclamation.



Jews look for signs and pagans ask for wisdom,



but we proclaim the Messiah as crucified, something that causes Jews to fall and is nonsense to pagans,



but to those who are called, whether they are Jew or pagan, the Messiah is God’s wisdom and strength,



because God’s nonsense is wiser than men and God’s weakness stronger than men.



Brothers and sisters, look at your calling. Not many of you were educated in the worldly sense, nor were many of you in positions of power or from the upper classes,2 

‘educated… power’. See Introduction.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians Chapter  XI



Paul, called and sent by Jesus the Messiah in accordance with God’s will, and Sosthenes, a brother,



to God’s church in Corinth, those who are called as saints, made holy in Jesus the Messiah, and to everyone everywhere who calls upon the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who is both theirs and ours.



Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



I always give praise to God for you because of the grace that God has given you in Jesus the Messiah,



because in all you say and know you have been enriched in him,



insofar as the testimony about the Messiah has been established in you,



such that you don’t lack any of his gifts but instead are waiting for our Lord Jesus the Messiah to be revealed.



He will establish you to the end, so that no fault may be found in you on the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



God, who called you into a relationship with his Son, Jesus the Messiah our Lord, is trustworthy.



I beg you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, may there be a single way of talking for all of you, and may there be no divisions among you. Instead, be completely at one in your ideas and intentions.



A message from Chloe’s household has come to me about you, brothers and sisters, reporting disagreements among you.



I am telling you, some of you are saying, ‘I am Paul’s,’ and others are saying, ‘I am Apollos’s,’ and others are saying, ‘I am Cephas’s,’ and others are saying, ‘I am the Messiah’s.’ 

Offer your greetings to Rufus, who is elect in our Lord, and to his mother, who is mine also.



Offer your greetings to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers and sisters with them.



Offer your greetings to Philologos, Julia, Niros, and his sister, Olympa, and all the saints with them.



Offer your greetings to each other with a holy kiss. All the Messiah’s churches offer their greetings to you.



I plead with you, my brothers and sisters, to watch out for people who cause division or scandal that is far from the teaching that you learnt, so as to keep yourselves well away from them.



For people like that aren’t serving our Lord Jesus the Messiah but only their own desires. With kind words and blessings they lead simple people’s minds astray.



Everyone knows well that you yourselves are obedient, however, and I am happy because of you and want you to be perceptive of good things, but innocent of evil things.



But the God of peace will very soon crush Satan beneath your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with you.



My compatriots Timothy, who works with me, Luke, Jason, and Sosipatros all offer you their greetings.



I, Tertius, who have written this letter in our Lord, offer you my greeting.



Gaius, who looked after me and the whole church, offers you his greeting, as does Erastus, the city’s treasurer, and Quartus, a brother.1



To God, who is able to make you firm in my gospel, which was been proclaimed about Jesus the Messiah when the mystery that was hidden for ages past was revealed, 



The verse numbered 24 in older English Bible translations is no longer accepted in most editions as being an original part of the letter. In some ancient manuscripts, and also in the Peshitta, it was added to the end as v. 28. 1

I entrust our sister Phoebe to you. She is a servant to the church in Cenchrea,



so that you might receive her in our Lord, as is appropriate to saints. Fulfill whatever desires she asks of you because she has also helped many people, including me.



Offer your greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, who have worked with me in Jesus the Messiah.



They risked their own necks for my sake, and it isn’t just me that praises them but all the churches among the peoples.



And give a welcome to the church that meets in their home. Offer your greetings to my friend Epenetus, who was Achaea’s first-fruits in the Messiah.



Offer your greetings to Mary; she has done much hard work with you.



Offer your greetings to my compatriots Andronicus and Junia, 1 who were imprisoned with me and are known to the apostles, and who were in the Messiah before I was.



Offer your greetings to Amplius, a friend of mine in our Lord.



Offer your greetings to Urbanus, who worked with us in the Messiah, and my friend Stachys.



Offer your greetings to Apella, who is elect in our Lord. Offer your greetings to the members of Aristoboulos’ household.



Offer your greetings to my compatriot Herodion and to those of Narcissus’ household who are in our Lord.



Offer your greetings to Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have worked in our Lord, and to the much-loved Persis, who worked hard in our Lord. 

‘Junia,’ or ‘Junias’, the masculine form of this name. It is unclear whether the translator understood the name as masculine or feminine as the Greek is also ambiguous. 1

since the Macedonians and Achaeans want to establish a partnership between them and the poorer saints who are in Jerusalem.



The reason they want to do this is that they are also in debt to [those saints] because, given that the peoples have formed a spiritual partnership with them, they are obliged to serve them materially as well.



So when I have finished this task and am done with passing on this fruit to them, then I shall cross over to you and to Spain.



And I’m sure that when I get to you I shall be coming to bring the whole of the blessing of the Messiah’s gospel.



I would ask you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus the Messiah and by the love of the Spirit, to work hard with me in prayer before God for my sake,



that I should be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judaea, and that the service that I am bringing to the saints in Jerusalem would be well received,

and that I might, God willing, come joyfully to you, and have rest among you.

May the God who brings peace be with all of you. Amen.

And this God who brings hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the faith, that you may overflow with hope in the strength of the Holy Spirit.



But I’m quite sure, brothers and sisters, that you too are full of goodness, that you are full of understanding, and that you are also able to advise each other.



I have been quite forward in writing to you, brothers and sisters, so as to make you remember. This is because of the grace that God has given me



to be Jesus the Messiah’s servant among the peoples and to serve God’s gospel with the aim of making the offerings of the peoples acceptable, as well as being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.



So I have something to boast about before God in Jesus the Messiah,



since I wouldn’t dare to mention anything, whether speeches or actions, other than what the Messiah has done through me to bring the peoples to obedience,



on the strength of extraordinary miracles and on the strength of God’s Spirit. The result is that I have circled around from Jerusalem to Illyricum and fulfilled the good news about the Messiah.



Since I’m eager to spread the good news where the Messiah’s name has not been mentioned before, so as not to build on someone else’s foundation,



but rather, as it is written, “those to whom nothing has been said about him shall see him, and those who have not heard shall become obedient,”1



for this reason I have frequently been prevented from coming to you.



Now, however, because there is no room for me in these lands here and because I have long desired for many years to come to you,



I hope to come and see you as I travel towards Spain; and you may accompany me there after I have enjoyed visiting you for some time.



But I am right now travelling to Jerusalem to visit the saints,  1

Romans Ch. 



Chapter  

It is the obligation of those of us who are strong to bear with the frailties of those who are weak, rather than to please ourselves.



Instead, each one of us should please our neighbors by doing them good so as to build them up.



After all, the Messiah did not please himself, as it is written, “the insults of the one who insulted you fell upon me.”1



Everything that was written previously was written to teach us, so that we can have hope through the perseverance and consolation that Scripture offers.



And may the God of perseverance and consolation grant that you might live in equality with each other in Jesus the Messiah,



so that you may glorify the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah with a single mind and voice.



For this reason, offer yourselves to each other, and be tolerant of each other, just as the Messiah also offered you for God’s glory.



But I am telling you that Jesus the Messiah was a servant to the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, so as to authenticate the promises given to our ancestors,



and that the peoples might glorify God for his mercies to them, as it is written, “I will praise you among the peoples and sing your name.” 2



Again it says, “rejoice with his people, you peoples.”3



Again it says, “praise the Lord, all you peoples, praise him, all the races.”4



Isaiah also says that, “there will be a root for Jesse and the one that arises from it is the ruler of the peoples, and the peoples will hope in him.”5 

Romans Ch. 

 

That is why you must not judge each other, but make a judgment call on this instead: you should never put anything up that will make your brother or sister fall.



You see, I’m quite sure in the Lord Jesus that nothing is impure of itself,1 but if something seems unclean to someone, then it is so only for them.



If you cause your brother or sister any distress on account of meat then you aren’t acting lovingly. Do not destroy someone that the Messiah died for because of some meat.



Do not allow anyone to speak ill of what good things we have,



for God’s kingdom does not consist of meat and drink, but of justice, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.



Whoever serves the Messiah in these matters is pleasing to God and wins human approval.



Let us now strive to be at peace and build each other up.



Let us not destroy God’s work because of some meat, for although everything is pure, it would be wrong for someone to eat it if it were to make him fall.



It is good not to eat meat and not to drink wine, and thereby avoid doing something which might cause your brother or sister to fall.



If you have faith, keep it to yourself before God.2 Blessed are those who don’t condemn themselves by making a subtle distinction in some matter,



since if someone is uncertain about it and eats it, then he is condemning himself, because it was not done in faith. Anything that isn’t based on faith is a sin.

1

‘nothing is impure of itself’: or ‘nothing that comes from him is impure’.

‘If you have faith, keep it to yourself before God’: or ‘if you have a [specific] belief, keep it between God and yourself’. 2

Romans Ch. 



Chapter  

Help anyone who has a weak faith and don’t waver in your opinion of him.



There are some who believe that one may eat anything, while another person is weak, and hence eats only vegetables.



The one who eats something should not treat the one who does not eat it with contempt, neither should the one who does not eat it pass judgment on the one who does. God has accepted him.



Who are you to judge a slave who is not your own? If he stands, it is before his lord that he stands, and if he falls he falls before his lord. But he certainly will stand, because his lord’s hand will stand him up.



There are some who judge one day above another, and others who judge them all the same. Each person should be firm in their own opinion.



The one who has a care for what day it is, does so for his lord, and the one who does not have such a care also does so for his lord. The one who eats something does so to his lord and is thankful to God, and the one who does not eat it also does so for his lord and gives thanks to God.



None of us live for ourselves and none of us die for ourselves,



since when we are alive we are living for our Lord, and when we die we are dying for our Lord; so whether we are alive or dying, we belong to our Lord.



This is also why the Messiah died, and came to life, and rose, that he might become the Lord of the dead and the living.



Why, then, do you judge your brother or your sister, or hold them in contempt? All of us shall stand before the Messiah’s judgment throne,



as it is written, “as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess me.”1



So each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.  1

Furthermore, you must realize that this is the moment, the very hour, when we should awake from our sleep, since our life is nearer now than when we came to faith.



The night is passing and the day drawing close. Let us therefore lay down dark doings and take up the arms of light.



And let us walk as is appropriate to the daytime, without drunken singing, without sexual impurity, and without jealousy or quarreling.



Clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus the Messiah and do not consider your flesh and its lusts.

Chapter  

Everyone should submit to the principal authorities, since there is no authority that does not come from God, and whatever authorities there are have been put there by God.



So anyone who stands up to authority stands up to God, and whoever stands up to it will receive punishment.



It is those who do evil, not those who do good, who are afraid of the magistrate. You don’t want to live in fear of the authorities; so do good, and you will get praise for it.



They are God’s servants, and for you this is a good thing. If you do wrong, then you should be afraid, since they don’t carry a sword for nothing. They are God’s servants and will wreak their wrathful vengeance upon those who do wrong.



This why we ought to submit, not just because of this wrath, but also because of our own consciences;



and this is also why you pay your taxes, because they are God’s servants who are in charge of these things.



Give to everyone what they are owed. Pay taxes to the one who is owed taxes, customs-duties to the one who is owed customs-duties, deference to the one who is owed deference, honor to the one is owed honor.



And don’t be in debt to anybody, but love each other,

IX

since he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. 

Also, when it says, “do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, and do not be jealous,”1 and whatever other commandments there are, these are fulfilled in the saying, “show mercy to your neighbor as if to yourself.”2



Love does not wrong his neighbor because love is the Law’s fulfillment. 

Take care of the needs of the saints, and show mercy to strangers.

Bless those who persecute you; don’t curse them — bless them.



Rejoice with those who rejoice, and grieve with those who grieve.



However you think of yourself, think the same of your brothers and sisters. Don’t think lofty thoughts, but stay close to the poor, and don’t think of yourselves as being wise.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but be sure to act well towards all people.



If possible, make peace with everyone, as long as it is in your power;



and don’t avenge yourselves, my friends, but leave space for God’s anger, since it is written that, “if you do not exact judgment on your own behalf, then I will exact judgment, says the Lord.”1

If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. If you act this way towards him, you will heap burning coals on his head.

Do not let evil defeat you. Defeat evil with good.

Chapter  

I ask you, brothers and sisters, by God’s mercy,1 present your bodies as a living, holy, and acceptable sacrifice to God in a rational act of service.2



Do not become like this world, but be transformed by your new ways of thinking, that you may be able to tell what is God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will.



But I tell all of you, by the grace that has been given to me, don’t have ideas beyond what it is appropriate to have, but be restrained in your thinking, as God has assigned to each a measure of faith.



Just as we have many parts in a single body, and there is no single thing they all have in common,



so we who are many are in the Messiah a single body; but we are each of us parts of each other.



We have different gifts, in line with the grace given to us. Sometimes it is prophecy, in line with the degree of your faith,



sometimes it is the gift of serving, which you use in your service; sometimes it is the gift of teaching, used in teaching.



sometimes it is that of consoling, used in consoling; and there is that of giving, done with simplicity; and of being a leader, done with due care; and of showing mercy, done with gladness.



Do not let your love be dishonest, but detest evil things and cling on to good things.



Be merciful towards your brothers and sisters, and loving towards each other, being keen to honor each other.



Do things with due care, not lazily; be enthusiastic within, and servers of your Lord.



Rejoice in your hope, endure your sufferings, and be faithful in your prayers. ‘by God’s mercy’: these words should properly be placed with ‘present your bodies’, but the Syriac translator placed them with ‘I ask of you’. 1

‘rational’: this is probably what the translator understood by the Greek logikos, though Paul meant something more like English ‘spiritual’, as opposed to a merely ‘material’ act of sacrifice. 2

After all, if you were cut off from the wild olive which was your natural place and were then unnaturally grafted in to a good olive, how much more readily will they be grafted into an olive that is natural to them.

So that your own ideas be not obscure, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand this mystery, that Israel has been experiencing an inner darkness for some time, until the completion of the peoples has come about.



At that time, the whole of Israel shall live, as it is written, “a redeemer shall come from Zion and turn evil away from Jacob.



Then they shall have a covenant that comes from me, when I have forgiven their sins.”1



As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies because of you, whereas as far as the election is concerned they are loved because of the ancestors,



for God changes neither his gift nor his calling.



Just as you did not originally obey God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,



so they are now disobeying the mercy that you have, so that the same mercy may come upon them.2



God has included everyone within this disobedience, so that he can have mercy on everyone.



O what a rich depth of wisdom and knowledge God has! Nobody scrutinizes his judgments or maps out his paths.



Who has ever known God’s intentions, or been his adviser?



Who has ever first given anything to God before receiving from him? 

Isa 59:20–21.

What Paul probably meant is, ‘so they are now disobeying so that, through the mercy that you have, the same mercy may come upon them’, but the Syriac translator has not understood it this way. 2

But I ask, they did not trip and fall right over, did they? Not at all. But their tripping-up meant life for the peoples, so as to make Israel jealous.1



And if their being tripped-up brought wealth to the world, and if their being condemned brought wealth to the peoples, then how much will their consummation be worth?



I, who am the apostle to the peoples (a ministry that I glory in), speak to you as peoples:



were I able to make my kinsfolk jealous, then maybe I could bring some of them to life,



and if their being rejected means the world being reconciled, then how much will their coming back be worth? Like life from death?



If, you see, the first-fruits of the produce are holy, then so is all the rest, and if the root is holy, then so are the branches.



If the branches were then cut off and you, wild olives that you are, were grafted in their place, and if you then partake of the olive tree’s root and its richness,



then you must not lord it over the branches. If you do — it isn’t you that is keeping the root going; it is the root that is keeping you going.



Maybe you would say, ‘the branches have been cut off, and I have been grafted in their place.’



In fact, it was because of their unbelief that they were cut off, and you stand upon your faith. So don’t have arrogant thoughts, but be fearful,



for if God had no pity on the natural branches, then beware lest he have no pity on you either.



Look at God’s kindness, and his harshness; harshness to those who have fallen; kindness to you, if you carry on within his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off,



while those others, if they do not carry on in their unbelief, will be grafted in too, since God is able to graft them back in. 



‘so as to make Israel jealous’: lit. ‘for their zeal’. Paul certainly meant that Israel would become jealous (cf. v. 14), but the Syriac does not make this as clear. 1

Chapter  

But I say, can it really be that God has rejected his people? Not at all. I too am an Israelite, a descendent of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.



God has not rejected his people, those who were previously known to him. Don’t you know what it says in the Scripture about Elijah, when he complained to God about Israel and said,



“Lord, they have killed your prophets and overturned your altars, I alone remain and they are after me?”1



And in a revelation it was said to him that, “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal nor worshipped him.”2



So it is that now there is again a remnant that has been left because it has been graciously chosen.



But if this is a result of grace then it isn’t because of deeds; if it were not so, grace would not be grace. But if it were because of deeds, then it would not be because of grace; were it not so, deeds would not be deeds.

What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for. The elect found it, but the rest were inwardly blinded,



as it is written, “God gave them a contentious spirit, eyes that did not see and ears that did not hear, right up to this day.”3

And also David said, “may their table be a trap for them and may their reward be what makes them trip,4

and may their eyes be darkened such that they cannot see, and their back bowed down always.”5 

Everyone who calls on the Lord’s name will live.



But how will they call on the name of someone in whom they have not believed? Or how will they believe in someone whom they did not hear about? Or how will they hear without a preacher?



Or how will there be people to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “how beautiful are the feet of those who bring a message of peace and good news?”1



It is not, however, the case that everyone obeyed the good news of the gospel, since Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” 2



So faith results when the ear listens, and the ear listens when it hears God’s word.



But I ask, surely they have heard it, have they not? See, their message has spread throughout the whole earth, their words to the edges of the world.



But I ask, surely Israel understood, did it not? Firstly, Moses says as follows, “I shall make you jealous through a people that are not a people, and through a disobedient people I shall make you angry.”3



Isaiah ventures to say, “I appeared to those who were not looking for me, I was found by those who had not asked for me,”4



but then to Israel he says, “I held out my hands all day long to a quarrelsome and disobedient people.”5

Chapter  

My heart’s desire, brothers and sisters, and my prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.



I can testify on their behalf that they have zeal for God, but it isn’t accompanied by understanding,



since they didn’t understand God’s means of bringing justice but sought to establish their own.1 This is why they have not subjected themselves to God’s justice.



The Messiah is the Law’s end-point, that all believers may find justice.



Moses wrote of the Law’s justice thus, that “whoever does these things will live by them,”2



whereas the justice that is found through faith says thus, “do not say in your heart, who will go up to heaven and so bring the Messiah down,



and who will go down to the deep of hell and bring the Messiah up from the dead?”3



What does it actually say? “The answer is close to you, to your mouth and your heart.”4 This is the message about faith that we proclaim.



Now if you acknowledge our Lord Jesus with your mouth, and in your heart you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will live,



since a heart that believes in him is acquitted and a mouth that acknowledges him will live.



The Scripture says that “no one who believes in him will be ashamed.”5



It makes no distinction between Jews and pagans, for the Lord of all is one and he enriches all who approach him. 1 ‘means

of bringing justice’: lit. ‘justice’. Lev 18:5. 3 Deut 30:12–13. 4 Deut 30:14. 2

Isaiah proclaimed about the Israelites, “even if the number of the Israelites were like the sea sand, the remnant of them shall live.



The Lord has made a decree, a firm decision, and he will enact it on the earth.”1

It is like something Isaiah said before, “unless the Lord of hosts had left us with survivors, we would have been like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”2



What is our conclusion, then? That the peoples, who were not pursuing justice, obtained justice, a justice that is the result of faith,



but Israel, who was pursuing the just Law, did not obtain it?



Why not? Because they did not do it by faith but by performance of the Law. For they stumbled over the stumbling rock.

As it is written, “see, I am putting a stumbling rock in Zion, a rock to cause offence, and whoever believes in him will not be ashamed.”3

What are we going to say? Could it really be that there is evil in God? Not at all.



See how he also said to Moses, “I have mercy on whomever I have mercy and I have pity on whomever I have pity.”1



So it isn’t within the control of the one who wants it or of the one who strives for it, but within the control of the merciful God.



In the Scripture he said to Pharaoh, “I raised you up for this, that I might demonstrate my power through you and that my name might be proclaimed throughout the whole world.”2



So then, he is merciful to whomever he wishes and he hardens whomever he wishes.



Perhaps you will say to me, ‘why does he find fault, for who can stand against his will?’



But you, who are you, my friend, to talk back to God? Can the lump of clay say to its sculptor, why did you sculpt me this way?



Or doesn’t the potter have power over his clay to make from his material one pot that is for special use and another for unpleasant uses?



But what if God wanted to demonstrate his anger and make his power known and hence he bore, with great patience, the objects of his anger that were ready to be destroyed,



and poured out his mercy upon the objects of his mercy, those which God had prepared for glory,



which is us, those called not only from among the Jews but also from the peoples.



It is as he says in Hosea, “I shall call those who were not my people ‘my people’ and she who received no mercy, ‘she who received mercy’.”3



“In the place where they were called ‘not my people’, there shall they be called ‘children of the living God’.”4 Exod 33:19. 9:16. 3 Hos 2:23. 1

Chapter  

I’m speaking truthfully in the Messiah, not lying. My inner thoughts testify to myself in the Holy Spirit



that I am terribly hurt; the pain in my heart never stops.



I have prayed that I myself might be accursed, cut off from the Messiah, for the sake of my brothers and sisters, my material family,



who are the Israelites. It is theirs to be adopted as children, and theirs is the glory, the covenant, the Mosaic Law and its service, the promises,



and the ancestors. From among them the Messiah appeared in the flesh, he who is God over all. Glory and blessing be to him forever and ever, amen.



But it isn’t the case that God’s word failed, for not all who are from Israel are Israel.



And they aren’t all children just because they are descended from Abraham, for it is said that “by Isaac shall your descendants be called.”1



I mean, it isn’t the fleshly children that are God’s children, rather it is the children of the promise that are reckoned to be his descendants.



The message that was promised is this, “at this time I shall come and Sara will have a son.”2



It was not just that; also, even though Rebecca had been with only one man, our father Isaac,



and even though her sons had not done anything good or evil before they were born, God’s choice had already been made known, so that it would be established not on the basis on what was done but upon him who calls.



It was said that “the elder would be slave to the lesser,”3



as it is written, “I had mercy on Jacob but hated Esau.” 4 1 Gen

21:12. Gen 18:10,14. 3 Gen 25:23. 2

4 Mal

1:2–3.

and then he who looks into the heart knows what the Spirit is thinking because when he prays for the saints, he does it in accordance with God’s will.



We know that, in every way, God helps those who love him for their own good, those whom he had decided beforehand would be called.



He knew them long before, and he sealed them with the likeness of his Son’s image, so that his Son might become the firstborn of many brothers.



These ones that he had already sealed, were the ones he had called, and the ones he had called were the ones he had acquitted, and the ones he acquitted were the ones he had glorified.



What can we say about them? If God is for us, who is against us?



And if he did not spare his Son but handed him over for us, surely he will bestow all things upon us as well as him.



Who is against God’s chosen one? God acquits,



so who judges? The Messiah died and arose and is at God’s right hand, and he is praying for us.



Who will separate me from the Messiah’s love? Disasters or distress, persecution or exposure, danger or violence?



It is written that “each day we die and are considered as sheep for the slaughter.”1



But in all these things we are victorious through him who has loved us.



I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor authorities nor powers, both those that exist now and those that will exist in the future,



neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate me from God’s love which is in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

Romans Ch. 

 

for if you live in a fleshly way you will end up dying, but if you kill the body’s customs then you will live.



God’s children are those led by God’s Spirit.



The Spirit you received isn’t one that enslaves us, leading back to fear, but one that adopts us as children, one through whom we cry ‘Abba’, our Father,1



and this Spirit is a testimony for our sprits that we are God’s children.



And if we are children, then we are heirs, God’s heirs, co-heirs with Jesus the Messiah. If we suffer with him then we shall be glorified with him too.



I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not equal to the glory that is to be revealed in us,



since all created things are hoping and waiting for God’s children to be revealed,



because all created things were subjected to a meaningless existence, not by their own choice but by one who subjected them. He did this in the hope



that these created things would be freed from an enslavement that leads to nothingness, and into the liberated glory of God’s children.

VI



We know that all created things are still screaming out in labor today;



and not just they, but we too, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also scream in pain while we wait to be adopted as children and for our bodies to be redeemed,



because we live in hope. But then, hope that is seen isn’t hope. If we saw it, what would there be to wait for?



But if we are hoping for something we cannot see, then we wait expectantly.



Hence this Spirit also helps our weaknesses. We don’t know what we ought to be praying for, but the Spirit prays instead of us using inexpressible cries,

‘Abba’: the Syriac version reproduces the Aramaic term that Paul quotes and then adds the translation as well, resulting in a double ‘father’ when read in Syriac. 1

Romans Ch. 

Chapter  

So then, in Jesus the Messiah there is now no judgment against you if you don’t live in a fleshly way,



because Jesus the Messiah’s living and spiritual Law has freed you from the sinful and deadly law.



Because the Mosaic Law was weakened through the flesh’s weakness, God sent his Son in the form of sinful flesh so that, on account of its being sinful, he would be able to bring judgment upon it through that flesh,



to the end that the Law’s justice would find its fulfillment in those of us who live in a spiritual, rather than a fleshly, way.



For if you are in the flesh you think in a fleshly way, whereas if you are in the Spirit you think in a spiritual way.



Fleshly attitudes lead to death whereas spiritual attitudes lead to life and peace.



This is because fleshly attitudes aren’t subject to God’s Law (nor can they be) and so are hostile to God,



and it is impossible for people who are living in a fleshly way to please God.



You, however, have not been living in a fleshly way, but in a spiritual way, if God’s Spirit does truly dwell within you. If there is anyone in whom the Messiah’s Spirit does not dwell, then that person does not belong to him,



but if the Messiah is within you then the body has died because of its sin, while the Spirit lives because of your innocence.1



Moreover, if the Spirit of the one who raised our Lord Jesus the Messiah from the dead dwells within you, then this one who raised Jesus the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live because of his Spirit that dwells within you.



Now, my brothers and sisters, we aren’t in debt to the flesh such that we would walk in a fleshly way,

‘Spirit’: presumably God’s Spirit is meant; the ‘spirit’ within a person is not the subject of this passage until v. 16. 1

Romans Ch. 

 

Does that mean that something good became death for me? Not at all; rather sin, so as to be seen to be sin, made use of a good thing to make death real within me so that sin might be all the more condemned through this command.



You see, we understand that the Law is spiritual; it is I that is fleshly and have been sold to sin.



I don’t know what I am doing; and I don’t do what I want to; it is what I hate that I actually do,



and whenever I do what I don’t want to, I am being a testimony that the Law is something beneficial.



But then it isn’t really me who is doing this thing; it is sin living within me.



I’m aware that there is nothing good within me, I mean within my flesh; it is easy to want to do something good; to actually do it I find not so,



since the good thing that I want to do I am not doing, whereas the evil thing that I don’t want to do, I do.



Now whenever I do something I don’t want to do, it isn’t really me doing it; it is the sin that is living within me.



So I find that the Law accords with my own instincts, that I want to do something good, because evil is near to me.1



Deep inside me I delight in God’s Law,



but I sense within my body a different law, opposed to the law of my instincts, and it makes me a captive to the sinful law within my body.



What a wreck of a man I am! Who will rescue me from this mortal body?



I thank God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah that I am instinctively a slave to God’s Law, even though physically I am a slave to sin’s law.

‘because evil is near to me’: this is a mistranslation of the Greek, which is lit. ‘I found this law, that evil is near me even when I want to do something good’. 1

Chapter  

Brothers and sisters, I’m talking to you as people who understand the law, so don’t you understand that a law only has authority over a man while he is alive?



It is like when the law binds a woman to her husband while he is alive, but when he dies she is freed from the marriage law.



If she clings to another man while her husband is alive then she becomes an adulteress, whereas when he dies and she is freed from this law, then she may marry another man without becoming an adulteress.



Brothers and sisters, because of the Messiah’s body you are now dead as far as the Mosaic Law is concerned; you belong to another, to someone who rose from the dead so that you would yield fruit for God.



When we were fleshly, sin’s diseases, which come through the Law, were active in the parts of our bodies, and yielded fruits for death.



But we have now been absolved from the Law and are dead to what was holding onto us, so that we can now serve in a new spiritual way rather than in an old bookish way.

V



So what is our conclusion? Is the Mosaic Law sinful? Not at all. I only learned to sin because of it. I would never have experienced desire had it not said, ‘do not desire.’



Sin found in this command an opportunity to make every kind of desire within me real. Sin would have been dead were it not for the Law.



I was previously alive without the Law, but then the command arrived, sin came to life, I died,



and that command, which was for life, I found to be for death.



By using the opportunity afforded to it by the command, sin tricked me and killed me.



So the Law is a holy thing, and so is the command, and it is also just and good. 

So then, given that we have come to be under grace rather than the Law, shall we sin? Not at all.



Don’t you realize that when you give yourselves up to obey something, whether this be sin or the sort of obedience that leads to justice, then you are the slaves of whoever you are obeying?



But blessed be God that although you used to be sin’s slaves, you have obeyed from your heart the pattern of teaching that you were entrusted with,



and that once freed, you became slaves to justice.



I am talking in a human way because your flesh is weak: just as you gave up the parts of your bodies to obey uncleanness and evil, so now give them up to serve justice and holiness,



since justice did not control you while you were sin’s slaves.



And what fruit did you produce back then? Something you are now ashamed of? That way ends in death.



But now that you have been freed from sin and have become God’s slaves, your fruits are holy. That way ends in eternal life.



Sin trades in death. God bestows eternal life, in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

Chapter  

How, then, do we respond? Shall we remain sinful so that there may be more grace?



Not at all! If you have died as far as sin is concerned, how could you ever live sinfully again?



Or don’t you realize that if you have been baptized into Jesus the Messiah, then it was into his death that you were baptized?



When you were baptized into his death, you were buried with him; so just as Jesus the Messiah rose from the dead into his Father’s glory, so we too will be living a new life.



Since we have been planted by his side in the likeness of his death, we shall be so also in his resurrection.



We understand that the old person has been crucified with him so that the sinful body may be done away with and so that we need not be sin’s servants,



for if you are dead, then you are free of sin!



If we have died with the Messiah, then we believe that we will be alive with him,



since we know that the Messiah rose from the dead and is now deathless; death has no authority over him.



Insofar as he died, he died at that one time to sin; and insofar as he lives, he lives to God.



So you too should think of yourselves as being dead as far as sin is concerned but alive as far as God is concerned because of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



So don’t let sin rule over your dead bodies, as if you were obeying its urgings,



and don’t make the parts of your bodies into instruments of evil for effecting sin; instead make yourself ready for God because you have risen from the dead, and let the parts of your bodies become instruments for effecting God’s justice.



Sin has no authority over you because you are under grace rather than under the Law. 

 

Between Adam and Moses, however, sin ruled even over people who had not sinned in the same way that Adam, who was a likeness of the coming one, had transgressed.



But then the gift and the fall aren’t alike; for if many have died due to one man’s fall, how much more, because of one man, Jesus the Messiah, will many be inundated with God’s gracious gift?



Furthermore, the gift isn’t like the error of that one man, since the judgment that was due to that one man resulted in his conviction, while the gift that was due to numerous sins in fact resulted in innocence.



So, if death ruled because of one man’s error, how much more will they, who have received the enormity of his gracious gift and justice, rule in life together because of one man, Jesus the Messiah.



In the same way that one man’s error meant conviction for everyone, so one man’s justice shall mean victory, and hence life, for everyone.



Again, in the same way that one man’s disobedience made many into sinners, so one man’s obedience is making many innocent.



However, the entrance of the Law made sin increase and wherever sin increased, grace increased more,



so that, just as sin has ruled through death, so will grace now rule to bring eternal life through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

Chapter  

So then, since we have been acquitted through our faith, let us have peace with God in our Lord Jesus the Messiah,



through whom, by faith, we have been brought to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of God’s glory.



Not only that, but we boast even in our sufferings because we know that suffering brings our perseverance to its goal,



as perseverance does for our testing and testing for our hope.



Hope, however, will not embarrass us because God’s love is being poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.



But if it is the case that, in our days, the Messiah has died for evil people on account of our weakness,



(it is difficult for someone to die for an evil person, but perhaps for a good person someone might dare to die,



though in this case God has demonstrated his love for us insofar as the Messiah died for us while we were sinners),



then how much more is it the case that we shall now be acquitted by his blood and rescued by him from anger.



If we were reconciled to God by his Son’s death despite being his enemies, how much more, within that reconciliation, shall we be made alive by his life?



And this isn’t all, for we are also in a position to boast in God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah, in whom we have now received reconciliation.

IV



For, just as sin entered the world through a single man, and death through sin, so death has come upon everyone, since everyone has sinned.



There was sin in the world up to the era of the Mosaic Law, but it was not accounted as sin due to there being no Law. 

 

The promise made to Abraham and his descendents, that they would inherit the earth, was not given through the Law but through this innocence that is by faith.



For if it were those who belong to the Law that were to inherit the earth, then faith would be pointless and the promise meaningless,



because the Law arouses anger, there being no transgression without it.



This is why we are acquitted by a gracious faith and why the promise will be made certain for all of his descendents, not just the ones who belong to the Law, but also the ones who belong to the faith of Abraham, our common father,



(just as it is written that “I established you as the father of many peoples”)1 in the sight of the God in whom you have believed, who makes the dead live, and who calls into being those who do not exist.



Although he was without hope, in hope he believed that he would become the father of many peoples, as it is written, “thus shall your descendants be.”2



Even while he was reckoned as dead in his body, at a hundred years old, and even though Sarah had a dead womb, still he did not falter in his faith.



He did not doubt God’s promise through a lack of faith, but rather by his faith he was emboldened and so glorified God,



and he was convinced that God would keep his promise to him.



This is why it was accounted to him as being acquitted.



Furthermore, this fact, that his faith was accounted to him as being acquitted, was not written only for his own sake,



but also for us, since it shall also be accounted to us, we who have believed in the one who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus the Messiah, 

Chapter  

So then, what are we to say about the chief patriarch Abraham? What happened to him, in a material sense?



If Abraham had been acquitted on the basis of his actions, he would have had cause to boast, though not before God.



For what does the Scripture say? That “Abraham placed his faith in God and this was accounted to him as innocence.”1



A worker’s wages are not accounted to him as a favor, but as an obligation,



whereas for someone who does not work, but instead places his faith in him who acquits sinners, then their faith is accounted to them as innocence.



It is just as David also said about the blessedness of anyone to whom God accounts innocence without deeds. He said,



“Blessed are they whose wrongdoings are forgiven and whose sins are hidden,



and blessed are they whose sins God will not account to them.”2



So does this blessedness belong to the circumcised or to the uncircumcised? Well, we say that Abraham’s faith was accounted as innocence,



but how was it so accounted? Was it in the context of circumcision or of uncircumcision? It was not in the context of circumcision, but in that of uncircumcision;



he bore the sign of circumcision as an affirmation of the innocence that was his by faith when he was uncircumcised. This was so that he might become the father of all uncircumcised believers, that they too might be accounted innocent,



and also a father for the circumcised, not for those who are merely circumcised, but for those who actually follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised. 



We know, however, that what the Mosaic Law says it says to those within it, that every mouth might be closed and the whole world convicted by God,



since no person will be acquitted before him by performing the Law; sin is made known through the Law.



But God’s justice has now been revealed outside of the Mosaic Law, and the Law and Prophets are a witness to this.



God’s justice, through faith in Jesus the Messiah, is for everyone, I mean everyone who has faith in him. No distinction can be made,



seeing as everyone has sinned and is lacking God’s glory,



and are freely acquitted by grace, and by the salvation that is in Jesus the Messiah.



God offered him as a pardon for those sins that we had already committed, by having faith in his blood,



so that God might demonstrate his present justice, within the opportunity he has given us in his forbearance, that he might himself be just, and also be the one who justly acquits anyone who has faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

III



Where does that leave our boasting? It is made worthless. By any Law to be performed? No, by a Law of faith.



Our doctrine, then, is that a person is acquitted by their faith and not by performance of the Law.

Is God not God of the peoples as well as God of the Jews? Yes, he is God of the peoples too, 

Chapter  

How, then, are the Jews superior? What is the point of circumcision?



There are all sorts of things. Firstly, the words of God were entrusted to them.



If some of them were not faithful, would they thereby have nullified God’s faithfulness with their faithlessness?



Not at all, since God is true and every man is a liar, just as it is written that “you may be just in what you say, and victorious when people judge you.”1



But if our lawlessness upholds God’s justice, what should we conclude? Is it that God is lawless when he thrusts his anger upon us? From a human point of view, that is.



Not at all. Otherwise, how could God judge the world?



If God’s truth is increased for his own glory through my lying, then why am I being judged like a sinner?



Is it not the case that there are people slandering us and claiming that we say, ‘let us do wrong that good may come’? For such people, judgment has been reserved until the moment of justice.



What then? Are we occupying the high ground, despite already deciding that Jews and pagans are all under sin together?



As it is written,2 “there are no innocent people, not even one;



there are none who understand and seek God;



all together have gone astray and are rejected; there are none who do good, not even one.



Their throats are open graves and their tongues are deceitful; vipers’ poison is under their lips;



their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness;

their ways are troublesome and wretched; Ps 51:4. Paul quotes the Greek version of the Psalm (Ps 50:6) which reads slightly differently from the Peshitta Psalter. 1

 

You see, circumcision is useful if you are performing the Law, whereas if you break it, then it is as though you were no longer circumcised.



Yet if an uncircumcised person were to keep the Law’s commands, then would not this person be reckoned as if they were circumcised?



An uncircumcised person who performs the Law instinctively will be judge over you, who are breaking the Law while being within the framework of the Scripture as well as being circumcised.



A Jewish person isn’t so on the outside; circumcision isn’t something physically visible;



rather, a person is a Jew who is so on the inside; circumcision is something that belongs to the heart, something spiritual not literal; the Jew is someone whose glory comes from God rather than from men.

Romans Ch. 

 

Those who have sinned outside of the Mosaic Law will also perish outside of it, whereas those who have sinned within the Mosaic Law will be judged by it,



since it isn’t those who listen to the Law who are innocent before God; it is those who perform it who are acquitted.



If those peoples that don’t have the Mosaic Law had instinctively performed it, even though they were not in possession of it, they would have become their own ‘Mosaic Law’.



They demonstrate that they are performing a Law that is written on their hearts, and their consciences testify on their behalf, while their intentions will either convict or defend them



on that day when God will judge men’s secrets in accordance with my gospel, through Jesus the Messiah.



But if you, who call yourself a Jew, who rest firm in the Law, and boast in God,



since you know his will and discern what is right because you have been instructed in the Mosaic Law,



and if you are confident in yourself to guide the blind and be a light to those in darkness,



and if you are an instructor for those who lack insight, and a teacher of students, and if you have some sort of knowledge and truth in the Law,



then are you omitting to teach yourself while teaching others? Are you in fact stealing while also pronouncing that one should not steal?



Are you committing adultery while saying what one should not commit adultery? Are you pillaging the sanctuary while condemning the idols?



Are you, who boast in the Law, dishonoring God by acting contrary to it?



For you are “bringing God’s name into disrepute” among the peoples, as it is written.1 

Chapter  

For this reason you have no defense, you who judge your neighbor. You yourself will be condemned in accordance with how you judge, since you behave in the same way as those you are judging,



and we know that in fact God’s judgment is against those who behave in such a way.



You who judge those who behave in such a way while you behave likewise, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?



Do you presume upon his rich kindness, his forbearance, and the opportunity that he has given you, and don’t you know that God’s kindness leads you towards repentance?



However, because your unrepentant heart is stubborn you are saving up rage against yourself for the day of rage and for the revelation of God’s just judgment.



He is the one who rewards each in accordance with their actions;

II



he gives eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality by continuing to act well,



while he rewards with rage and anger those who rebel and follow lawlessness rather than truth.



There will be distress and trouble for all who act sinfully, for Jews first of all, and also for pagans,



but glory, honor, and peace for all who act well, for Jews first of all, and also for pagans,



for God isn’t prejudiced. 

while the men among them also abandoned natural relations with women and became aroused with desire for each other; they acted shamefully male to male, and they themselves received the deserved reward for their error.



Since they themselves decided that they would not know God, he handed them over to an empty understanding, for them to do what they ought not.



They are full of all lawlessness and adultery, bitterness and evil, greed, envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil intentions,



slandering and backbiting; they are god-haters, abusive, condescending, and self-important; they hatch plots, are devoid of sense, and show no respect for their ancestors,



they are bound by no covenant, and they show neither love, peace, nor mercy.



Although these people know God’s judgment, that people who act in such a way are condemned to death, they even have fellowship with those that perpetrate them as well as being perpetrators themselves.

 

I am obliged to preach to everyone: Greeks and barbarians, wise and simple,



and so I’m keen to preach to you in Rome as well.



I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is God’s power to give life to everyone who believes in it, whether they are Jews first of all, or pagans,1



for in it, both starting and ending with faith,2 God’s justice is revealed, as it is written, “the just shall live by faith.”3



You see, God’s anger is being revealed from heaven against all the evil and lawlessness of those men who unlawfully control the truth.



This is because the knowledge of God is available to them since God made it available to them.



They have no defense because God’s secrets, his eternal power and his divinity, have been mentally visible to his creation since the world was founded.



Because they knew God without glorifying or praising him, they instead became empty in their thinking and their hearts were darkened so that they have now no understanding.



Although they think of themselves as wise, they have become fools,



and substituted the likeness of the image of corruptible man and the likenesses of birds, beasts, and insects, for the glory of the incorruptible God.



For this reason God handed them over to their hearts’ impure desires, that by this means they might abuse their own bodies.



They also substituted a deceit in place of God’s truth, and worshipped and served the creation rather than the creator, to whom be glory and blessing forever and ever, amen.



For this reason God handed them over to shameful debilities. The women among them substituted unnatural relations for their natural needs,  1 2

The Epistle to the Romans Chapter  I



Paul, called and sent as Jesus the Messiah’s servant, appointed for God’s gospel,



which had previously been promised by his prophets in the holy Scriptures;



it concerns his Son, one who was born physically from the seed of David’s house,



and who was known by power and by the Holy Spirit as God’s Son, and who arose from the dead, our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



It was through him that we received grace and ministry among all the peoples, so that they might be obedient to the faith of his name.1



You also, who are called by Jesus the Messiah, are among their number.



To all those in Rome, God’s loved ones, who have been called and made holy, peace and grace be with you from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.



Firstly I am thankful to God for you all in Jesus the Messiah, that your faith is being reported across the whole world.



God, whom I serve spiritually in the work of the gospel, is witness to how I remember you in my prayers constantly.



I crave even now that, God-willing, a way might be opened for me to come to you,



since I very much long to see you and to bring you a spiritual gift to strengthen you,



and also so that our shared faith might comfort us.



Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I have often desired to come to you so as to have fruit among you, as I did among all the other peoples, though until now I have been prevented. 1 ‘of

his name,’ or ‘for the sake of his name’.
