Gift of I AM (Matthew) 7

1 Judge not, that you might not be judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you deal out, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?

4 Or how will you say to your brother: Let me pull the speck out of your eye; when there is a beam in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; then you will see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother's eye.

6 Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and attack you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:

8 For everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or, if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

12 Therefore in all things whatsoever you would like men to do to you, do those things to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and there are many which go in there:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

21 Not everyone that said to me: Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?

23 But will I profess to them: I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; it did not fall: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 6

1 Take heed that you do not do your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise, you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when you give your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say to you: They have their reward.

3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does:

4 That your alms may be in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

5 And when you pray, do not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say to you: They have their reward.

6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Do not be like them: for your Father knows the things you need even before you ask Him.

9 Pray like this: Our Father who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.

10 Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, neither will your Father forgive your sins.

16 Moreover when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. They disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to men to be fasting. Verily I say to you, they have their reward.

17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face;

18 So you do not appear to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say to you: Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?

28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say to you: That even Peace (Solomon) in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 If God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying: What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, How shall we be clothed?

32 (After all these things the Gentiles seek:) Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

34 Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 5

  

1 Seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: and when He sat down, His disciples came to him:

2 So He opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’s sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for they persecuted the prophets which were before you.

13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the foot of men.

14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets: I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

18 For truly I say to you: Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say to you: Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), you shall in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

21 You have heard that it was said of them of old time: You shall not murder; and whosoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say to you: Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca (senseless, empty-headed man), shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say: You fool (moral blockhead), shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you;

24 Leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you are cast into prison.

26 Verily I say to you: You shall by no means come out of there until you have paid the uttermost farthing.

27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time: You shall not commit adultery:

28 But I say to you: That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

30 If your right-hand causes you to sin, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

31 It has been said: Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

32 But I say to you: That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.

33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time: You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths:

34 But I say to you: Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Rain of Peace (Jerusalem); for it is the city of the great King.

36 Neither shall you swear by your head because you cannot make one hair white or black.

37 But let your communication be: Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatever is more than these comes of evil.

38 You have heard that it has been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say to you: That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall hit you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue you in court, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

41 And whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.

42 Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you, do not turn away.

43 You have heard that it has been said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

44 But I say to you: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love them which love you, what reward is it? do not even the publicans the same?

47 If you salute your brethren only, what more do you than others? do not even the publicans do so?

48 Be therefore perfect (mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (mature).

1 Then Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 When He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

3 Then the tempter came to Him, he said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But He answered and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And said to him: If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning you: and in their hands, they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: It is written again: You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

8 Again, the devil took him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And said to Him: All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

10 Then Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to him: Go away, Adversary (Satan): for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.

11 Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

12 Now when Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) heard that Yahweh is a Gracious Giver (John) was cast into prison, He departed into Circuit-District (Galilee);

13 And leaving The Guarded One (Nazareth), he came and dwelt in Village of Comfort (Capernaum), which is upon the sea coast, near the borders of Exalted (Zebulun) and Wrestling (Naphtalim):

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah) the prophet, saying:

15 The land of Exalted (Zebulun), and the land of Wrestling (Naphtalim), by the way of the sea, beyond The Descender (Jordan), of Circuit-District (Galilee) of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light, and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light has sprung forth.

17 From that time Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) began to preach, saying: Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua), was walking by the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee) when He saw two brethren, Heard (Simon) called Stone (Peter), and Manly (Andrew) his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

19 He said to them: Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.

21 And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift (Zebedee), and Yahweh is a Gracious Giver (John) his brother, in a ship with My Gift (Zebedee) their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

22 They immediately left the ship and their father and followed him.

23 Then Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) went about all Circuit-District (Galilee), teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

24 And His fame went throughout all: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and He healed them.

25 Great multitudes of people from Circuit-District (Galilee), from Decapolis, from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), from Land of Praise (Judaea), and from beyond The Descender (Jordan) followed Him.

Gift of I AM (Matthew) 3

1 In those days came Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Land of Praise (Judaea),

2 Saying: Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah), saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.

4 Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) had clothing of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

5 The people went out to him Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), and all Land of Praise (Judaea), and all the region round about The Descender (Jordan),

6 And were baptized by him in The Descender (Jordan), confessing their sins.

7 But when he saw many of  The Separate (Pharisees) and The Righteous (Sadducees) come to his baptism, he said to them: O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth, therefore, fruits proving repentance:

9 Do not think to say within yourselves: We have Father of a Multitude (Abraham) as our father: for I say to you, that God is able to cause these stones to raise up children to Father of a Multitude (Abraham).

10 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: therefore, every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with water for repentance. but He that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose fan is in His hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

13 Then Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came from Circuit-District (Galilee) to The Descender (Jordan) to Yahweh is a gracious giver (John), to be baptized by him.

14 But Yahweh is a gracious giver (John) forbade him, saying, I need to be baptized of you, and you come to me?

15 But Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered him: Permit it to be so now: for it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

16 Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua), when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him:

17 And heard a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

1 Now when Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was born in House of Bread (Bethlehem) of Land of Praise (Praised (Judah)ea) in the days of Heroic (Herod) the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem),

2 Saying: Where is he that is born King of the Praise (Jews)? for we have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him.

3 When Heroic (Herod) the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) with him.

4 When he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them the location where Anointed (Messiah, Christ) should be born.

5 And they said to him, In House of Bread (Bethlehem) of Land of Praise (Praised (Judah)ea): for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 You House of Bread (Bethlehem), in the land of Praised (Judah), are not the least among the princes of Praised (Judah): for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people God Prevails (Israel).

7 Then Heroic (Herod), when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 Then he sent them to House of Bread (Bethlehem), and said: Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 When they came into the house, they saw the young child with Rebellion (Mary) his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

12 Then they were warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Heroic (Herod), so, they departed into their own country another way.

13 When they departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to I AM Will Add (Joseph) in a dream, saying: Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into Double Straights (Egypt), and stay there until I bring you word: for Heroic (Herod) will seek the young child to destroy Him.

14 So he arose, and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Double Straights (Egypt):

15 And was there until the death of Heroic (Herod): that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying: Out of Double Straights (Egypt) have I called my son.

16 Then Heroic (Herod), when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry. He sent forth, and slew all the children that were in House of Bread (Bethlehem), and in all the surrounding area, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

17 That fulfilled the prophecy spoken by Whom Jehovah Has Appointed (Jeremiah) the prophet, saying:

18 In The Height (Rama) there was a voice heard, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Ewe (Rachel) weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

19 But when Heroic (Herod) was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to I AM Will Add (Joseph) in Double Straights (Egypt),

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and go into the land of God Prevails (Israel): for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

21 So he arose, and took the young child and His mother, and came into the land of God Prevails (Israel).

22 But when he heard that Prince of the People (Archelaus) reigned in Land of Praise (Judaea) in the room of his father Heroic (Herod), he was afraid to go there: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Circuit-District (Galilee):

23 And he came and dwelt in a city called The Guarded One (Nazareth): that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Consecrated One (Nazarene).
