Paul's 2nd letter
to the Corinthians 2 And I brethren when I came to you, came not in gloriousness of words or of wisdom, showing unto you the testimony of God. Neither showed I myself that I knew any thing among you save Jesus Christ, even the same that was crucified. And I was among you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my words and my preaching were not with enticing words of mans wisdom: but in showing of the spirit and of power that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men: but in the power of God.
That we speak of, is wisdom among them that are perfect: not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world (which go to nought), but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: which wisdom none of the rulers of the world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, ye the bottom of Gods secrets. For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God, which things also we speak, not in the cunning words of mans wisdom, but with the cunning words of the holy ghost, making spiritual comparisons of spiritual things. For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God. For they are but foolishness unto him. Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined. But he that is spiritual, discusseth all things: yet he him self is judged of no man. For who knoweth the mind of the Lord, other who shall inform him? But we understand the mind of Christ.and of "prayer and fasting" ...Look see ! ...
Matthew 17
And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother, and brought them up into an high mountain out of the way, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothes were as white as the light. And behold there appeared unto them, Moses and *Helias, talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus: master here is good being for us. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for *Helias. While he yet spake, behold a bright cloud shadowed them. And behold there came a voice out of the cloud saying: this is my dear son, in whom I delight, hear him. And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said: arise and be not afraid. And when they looked up, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them saying: see that ye show the vision to no man, until the son of man be risen again from death. And his disciples asked of him, saying: Why then say the Scribes, that *Helias must first come? Jesus answered, and said unto them: *Helias shall first come, and restore all things. And I say unto you that Helias is come already, and they knew him not: but have done unto him whatsoever they lusted. In like wise shall also the son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples perceived that he spake unto them of John Baptist. And when they were come to the people, there came to him a certain man, and kneeled down to him, and said: Master have mercy on my son for he is lunatic: and is sore vexed. And oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him. Jesus answered and said: O generation faithless and crooked: how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he came out of him. And the child was healed even that same hour.
Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out? Jesus said unto them: Because of your unbelief. For I say verily unto you: if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye should say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and he should remove: neither should any thing be unpossible for you to do. How be it this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting. As they passed the time in Galilee, Jesus said unto them: the son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they sorrowed greatly.
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that were wont to gather poll money, came to Peter and said: Doth your master pay tribute? He said: ye. And when he was come into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying: what thinkest thou Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute or poll money? of their children, or of strangers? Peter said unto him: of strangers. Then said Jesus unto him again: Then are the children free. Nevertheless: lest we should offend them: go to the sea and cast in thine *angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take and pay for me and thee. *Helias (Elias) *angle (hook),Mark 9
And after six days Jesus took Peter, James and John, and led them up into an high mountain out of the way alone, and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment did shine, and was made very white, even as snow: so white as no *fuller can make upon the earth. And there appeared unto them *Helias with Moses: and they talked with *Jesu. And Peter answered and said to *Jesu: Master, here is good being for us, let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for *Helias. And yet he *wist not what he said: for they were afraid. And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud saying: This is my dear son, hear him. And suddenly, they looked round about them, and saw no man more than *Jesus only with them.
And as they came down from the hill, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till the son of man were risen from death again. And they kept that saying with them, and demanded one of another, what that rising from death again should mean? And they asked him saying: why then Say the Scribes, that *Helias must first come? He answered and said unto them: *Helias verily shall first come and restore all things. And also the son of man as it is written, shall suffer many things and shall be set at nought. Moreover I say unto you, that *Helias is come, and they have done unto him whatsoever pleased them, as it is written of him.
And he came to his disciples and saw much people about them, and the Scribes disputing with them. And straight way all the people when they beheld him, were amazed, and ran to him, and saluted him. And he said unto the Scribes: what dispute ye with them? And one of the company answered and said: Master I have brought my son unto thee, which hath a dumb spirit. And whensoever he taken him, he teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.
He answered him and said: O generation without faith, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him. And as soon as the spirit saw him, he tare him. And he fell down on the ground wallowing and foaming. And he asked his father: how long is it ago, since this hath happened him? And he said, of a child: and often times casteth him into the fire, and also into the water, to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, have mercy on us, and help us. And Jesus said unto him: yea if thou couldest believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straight way the father of the child cried with tears saying: Lord I believe, help mine unbelief.
When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him: Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had been dead, in so much that many said, he is dead. But Jesus caught his hand and lift him up: and he rose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them: this kind can by no other means come forth, but by prayer and fasting.
And they departed thence, and took their journey through Galile, and he would not that any man should have known it. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them: The son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and after that he is killed he shall arise again the third day. But they *wist not what that saying meant, and were afraid to ask him. And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come to house, he asked them: what was it that ye disputed between you by the way? And they held their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselves, who should be the chiefest. And he sat down and called the twelve unto him, and said to them: if any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant unto all. And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them, and took him in his arms and said unto them: Whosoever receive any such a child in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
John answered him saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him because he followeth us not. But Jesus said, forbid him not. For there is no man that shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. Whosoever is not against you, is on your part. And whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink for my names sake, because ye belong to *Christe, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, that believe in me, it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.
Wherefore if thy hand offend thee, cut him off. It is better for thee, to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, go into hell, into fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. Likewise if thy foot offend thee, cut him off. For it is better for thee to go halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. Even so if thine eye offend thee, pluck him out. It is better for thee to go into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire: where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out.
Every man therefore shall be salted with fire. And every sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt. Salt is good. But if the salt be unsavoury, what shall ye salt therewith? See that ye have salt in yourselves: and have peace among yourselves, one with another. *Helias (Elias) *wist (knew) *fuller: one who works with cloth *Jesu exact spelling. *Jesus exact spelling. *Christe: exact spelling.

Prophet Ezechiel
(Ezekiel)From the Hebrew “God strengthens”
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: thou son of man, turn thy face to the mountains of Israel, that thou may prophesy unto them, and say: Hear the word of the Lord God, O ye mountains of Israel: Thus hath the Lord God spoken to the mountains, hills, rivers, valleys and dales.
Behold, I will bring a sword over you, and destroy your high places. I will cast down your alters, and break down your temples. Your slain men will I leave before your gods. and the dead carcasses of the children of Israel will I cast before their images, your bones will I destroy round about your altars, and dwelling places.
The cities shall be desolate, the hill chapels laid waste: your alters destroyed, and broken: your goods cast down, and taken away, your temples laid even with the ground, your own works clean rooted out.
Your slain men shall lie among you, that ye may learn to know, how that I am the Lord. Those that among you have escaped the sword, I will leave among the Gentiles, for I will scatter you among the nations. And they that escape from you, shall think upon me among the Heathen, where they shall be in captivity.
As for that whorish and unfaithful heart of theirs, wherewith they run away from me, I will break it: yee and put out those eyes of theirs, that committed fornication with their Idols.
Then shall they be ashamed, and displeased with themselves, for the wickedness and abominations, which they have done: and shall learn to know, how that it is not in vain, that I the Lord speak, to bring such misery upon them.
The Lord said moreover unto me: Smite thy hands together, and stamp with thy feet, and say: Woe worth all the abominations and wickednesses of the house of Israel, for because of them, they shall perish with the sword, with hunger and with pestilence. Who so is far off, shall die of the pestilence: he that is near at hand, shall perish with the sword: and the other that are besieged, shall die of hunger.
Thus will I satisfy my wrothful displeasure upon them. And so shall ye learn to know, that I am the Lord, when your slain men lie among your goddes, and about your alters: upon all high hills and tops of mountains, among all green trees, among all thick oaks: even in the places, where they did sacrifice to all their Idols. I will stretch my hand out upon them, and will make the land waste: So that it shall lie desolate and void, from the wilderness of Deblathah forth, through all their habitations: to learn them to know, that I am the Lord.
Paul Unto the Hebrews 10
For the law which hath but the shadow of good things to come, and not the things in their own fashion can never with the sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For would not then those sacrifices have ceased to have been offered, because that the offerers once purged should have had no more consciences of sins. Nevertheless in those sacrifices is there mention made of sins every year. For it is unpossible that the blood of oxen and of goats should take away sins.
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. In sacrifices and sinofferings thou hast no lust. Then I said: Lo I come, in the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, O' God. Above, when he had said sacrifice and offering, and burntsacrifices and sinofferings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed (which yet are offered by the law) and then said: Lo I come to do thy will, O' God: he taketh away the first to establish the latter. By the which will, we are sanctified: by the offering of the body of *Jesu Christ once for all.
And every priest is ready daily ministering, and often times offereth one manner of offering which can never take away sins. But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat him down for ever on the right hand of God, and from henceforth tarrieth till his foes be made his footstool. For with one offering hath he made perfect for ever them that are sanctified. And the holy ghost also beareth us record of this, even when he told before: This is the testament that I will make unto them: after those days saith the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts and in their mind I will write them, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. And where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sin.
Seeing brethren that by the means of the blood of Jesu, we may be bold to enter into that holy place, by the new and living way which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say, by his flesh. And seeing also that we have an high priest which is ruler over the house of God, let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith, sprinkled in our hearts from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water: and let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering (for he is faithful that promised) and let us consider one another, to provoke unto love, and to good works: and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh.
For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despiseth Moses law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses. Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth under foot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace. For we know him that hath said: vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense saith the Lord. And again: the Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Call to remembrance the days that are passed, in the which after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities, partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time. For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your Goods, and that with gladness: knowing in your selves how that ye had in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great reward to recompense. For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a very little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself my soul shall have no pleasure in him. We are not which withdraw our selves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.
