1 I commend to you Phoebe our sister,
who is a deaconess of the called out ones in Cenchrea: 2 That
you may welcome her in the Assembly of Yahuah in a manner worthy of the
saints and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for she
has been an assistant, of many, and of myself also.
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my
fellow workers in Yahusha Messiah; 4 Who have risked their lives for me.
Not only I, but all the called out ones among the Gentiles are grateful
to them: 5 The called out ones of The House of Yahuah there.
Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits in Asia to Yahusha.
6 Greet Miriam, who bestowed much labor on us. 7
Greet Andronicus, and Iounias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who
are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Yahusha before I
was. 8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in Yahuah. 9
Greet Urbanus, our helper in Yahusha, and Stachys my beloved. 10
Greet Apelles, tested and approved in covenant with Yahusha. Greet those
who belong to the household of Aristobulus. 11 Greet
Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus,
who are in Yahuah. 12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor
in Yahuah. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in Yahuah. 13
Greet Rufus, chosen in Yahuah, and his mother and mine. 14
Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers
who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus, and Ioulia, Nereus
and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the called out ones
greet you in the name of the Messiah.
17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch
out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the teaching
which you have learned; and avoid them. 18 For those who are
such do not serve our King, Yahusha the Messiah, but their own belly,
and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the minds of the
simple. 19 For your obedience has become known to all.
Therefore, I am glad on your behalf, but I want you to be wise in what
is righteous and simple, concerning evil. 20 And the Father
of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The mercy of our
King, Yahusha the Messiah, be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, and
Lucius, Iason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you. 22 I,
Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in Yahuah’s name. 23
Gaius, my host, and the host of all the called out ones, greet you.
Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.
24
25 Now to Him Who is able to establish
you by my message and preaching of Yahusha the Messiah, according to
the revelation of the great secret (that
Yahuah is begetting a family of God-like Ones Ephesians 1),
which (His Purpose) was hidden
since the world began (Ephesians 1:4),
Ephesians 1 – The Purpose to
Beget a Family
1 Sha’ul, an apostle of Messiah Yahusha by the will of
Yahuah, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in (covenant with)
Messiah Yahusha: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from
Yahuah our Father (of Elohim), and from the Messiah Yahusha. 3 Blessed be
our Elohim and Father of our King Yahusha, who (Yahuah)
hath blessed us (His sons, Elohim) with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (the Kingdom of Yahuah) in (covenant
with) Yahusha (we are co-heirs): 4 According
(to Yahuah’s purpose) as He (Yahuah) hath chosen (predestined) us in Him(self), before the foundation of the world (it was Yahuah’s purpose from the beginning before creation
to pro-create a family),
that we should be Set Apart and without blame before Him (Yahuah)
in love (through a marriage covenant with Yahusha):5 Having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children (sons
of Yahuah) by (the life sacrifice of) Messiah Yahusha to Himself (Yahuah),
according to the good pleasure of his (Yahuah’s) will (to pro-create a family… His Purpose),
6 To the praise of the glory of His (Yahuah’s)
grace, wherein Yahuah hath made us accepted in the beloved (family of Elohim). 7 In
covenant with our High Priest Yahusha the Messiah we have redemption
(from the Law of Sin and Death) through his blood (Yahusha is the Passover Lamb), (we
have) the forgiveness of sins (the covering of the Death
Decrees) according to the riches of
His (Yahuah’s) grace.
8 Wherein (covenant
with Yahusha) He (Yahuah)
hath abounded toward us (unlimited
Grace) in all wisdom and
prudence; 9 Having made known unto us (elohim) the
mystery (the Great Secret Romans 16:25) of His will (to beget a family),
according to His (Yahuah’s) good pleasure which He has PURPOSED (predestined
to create) in (the full image of)
Himself (He is the Father): 10 That in the dispensation of the fullness
of times (as
foretold by His prophets and The Heavenly Scroll to be fulfilled in
the 4,000th year) He (Yahuah)
might gather together (The
House of Judah and The House of Israel)
in one (family through the covenant of marriage, the two shall become one) all things in (covenant
with Yahusha the) Messiah, both which are in
heaven (the Kingdom of Yahuah), and which are on earth; even in Him(self, Yahuah will reconcile creation through the sacrifice
of His Son): 11 In whom (the first born Son, Messiah
Yahusha) also we (too) have obtained an inheritance (as
sons of Yahuah, we inherit the Universe), being predestinated according to THE PURPOSE of Yahuah who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: 12 That
we (sons
of Yahuah) should be to the praise of
His glory, who first trusted in Messiah Yahusha (was the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham written in the
stars Genesis 15:5).
13 In whom (Yahusha) you also trusted (was the Messiah),
after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom (Yahusha)
also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit
of promise (the Spirit of Yahuah is the
“blood of the family of Yahuah” a Spiritual Parallel of a human
bloodline or family). 14 Which is the
earnest (guarantee) of our (future) inheritance (as
sons of Yahuah) until the redemption (transposition of our bodies from the Physical Realm to the
Spiritual Realm) of the purchased possession
unto the praise of His glory.
….
17 That the
Elohim (the Shema)
of our King Messiah Yahusha (Yahuah
is Yahusha’s Elohim too),
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of Him(self): 18 The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened (to
His Purpose to procreate a Family);
that you may know what is the hope of His (Yahuah)
calling (you as a son), and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints (we inherit the Universe as co-heirs with the Bridegroom),
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of Yahuah’s power
toward us (as
sons) who believe, according to the
working of His (Yahuah's)
mighty power, 20 Which He (Yahuah)
demonstrated in the Messiah, when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the
dead (confirming Yahusha’s sonship),
and Yahuah set Yahusha at Yahuah’s own right hand (of
the throne of Creation. Yahusha is Yahuah’s proxy King)
in the
Kingdom of Yahuah, 21 Far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name
that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to
come: 22 And (Yahuah) has put all things under his (Yahusha’s)
feet, and Yahuah gave Yahusha (the
first born Son) to be the head (of His Family)
over all things to the assembly (of
His sons), 23 Which is His
(Yahuah’s Temple or) body, the fullness of Him (Yahuah)
that fills all in all.
26 But now has been made manifest
through the prophetic Scriptures by the command of the everlasting
Father, so that all nations might believe and obey him (Yahuah
made Yahusha to be a covenant to the nations
Isaiah 42)—
Isaiah 42
1“Here is
My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights.
I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the
nations.
2
He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice
heard in the streets.
3
A bruised reed He will not break and a smoldering wick He
will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice.
4
He will not grow weak or discouraged
before He has established justice on the earth. In His law
the islands will put their hope.”
5
This is what Yahuah our God says— He who created the heavens
(stars and constellations) and
stretched them out like a scroll (to
proclaim His Plan of Salvation), who spread out the earth and
its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to
those who walk in it:
6
“I, Yahuah, have called
you for a righteous purpose, and I will take hold of your
hand. I will keep you and appoint you to be a covenant for the
people and a light to the nations,
7to open the eyes
of the blind, to bring prisoners out of the dungeon and those
sitting in darkness out from the prison house.
27 To Yahuah, alone wise, be glory
through Yahusha the Messiah forever. HalleluYahuah!
