15 But, als (since) the One who bestows on you the kri’ah (calling) is KADOSH HU,* so also yourselves become Kedoshim in hitnahagut (conduct), 16 Because it says in the Torah, KEDOSHIM TIH’YU KI KADOSH ANI* (You must be holy ones for I am holy).

15 But, als (since) the One who bestows on you the kri’ah (calling) is KADOSH HU,* so also yourselves become Kedoshim in hitnahagut (conduct), 16 Because it says in the Torah, KEDOSHIM TIH’YU KI KADOSH ANI* (You must be holy ones for I am holy).

4 Just as He in Him chose us to be part of Hashemʼs Bechirim (Chosen Ones) before the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world), that we should be Kedoshim and without mum* (defect) before Him in ahavah:*

3 For this is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), your kedushah (holiness), your consecration, that you abstain from zenut (fornication), 4 That each one of you* have da’as of how to control your own k’li (vessel) in kedushah and kavod, 5 Not in the passion of ta’avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da’as of Hashem; 6 That no man commit peysha and take advantage of one of his Achim b’Moshiach in this [sexual] matter, because Hashem is the Nokem (Avenger) concerning all these things, just as also we told you before and warned you. 7 For [as far as our bechirah (election) is concerned], Hashem did not summon us for tu’ma (uncleanness) but in kedushah (holiness).

9 The one having granted us Yeshu’at Eloheinu and having called us with a kri’ah kedoshah (holy calling), not according to the ma’asim of us but according to his own tachlis (purpose) and chesed having been given to us in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua before Yamim HaOlam,

3 Elohai, I cry yomam, but Thou hearest not;

and v’lailah, and am not silent.

2 There is none kadosh like Hashem;

for there is none besides Thee;

neither is there any Tzur like Eloheinu.

15 For thus saith the High and Exalted,

Shokhen Ad (the One Who abideth forever, i.e., Who inhabits eternity), Kadosh Shmo:

I dwell in marom v’kadosh (the high and holy place),

with him also that is of a contrite and lowly ruach,

to revive the ruach of the shefalim (humble, lowly ones)

and to revive the lev nidka’im (contrite of heart).

23 Thus will I magnify Myself, and set Myself apart as kodesh and I will make Myself known in the eynayim of Goyim rabbim, and they shall know that I am Hashem.

23 And I will show as kodesh My Shem HaGadol, which was profaned among the Goyim, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the Goyim shall know that I am Hashem, saith Adonoi Hashem, when I shall be set apart as kodesh in you before their eynayim.

14 Pursue shalom with kol Bnei Adam, and the kedushah without which no one will see Hashem.

14 Pursue shalom with kol Bnei Adam, and the kedushah without which no one will see Hashem.

1 Therefore, having these havtachot (promises), Chaverim, let us submit to his tahorah, cleansing ourselves from every defilement of basar and ruach, perfecting kedushah (holiness) in yirat Shomayim.

1 Therefore, having these havtachot (promises), Chaverim, let us submit to his tahorah, cleansing ourselves from every defilement of basar and ruach, perfecting kedushah (holiness) in yirat Shomayim.

22 But now, having been set free from* Chet (sin) and having been made an eved Hashem (a servant of G-d), you have your p’ri for Hashem, resulting in kedushah, and the end is Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life).

19 I speak in human terms on account of the weakness of your frail fallen humanity. For just as you handed over your natural capacities as avadim (slaves) to tum’a (uncleanness) and to lawlessness which results in lawlessness, so now hand over your natural capacities as servants of Tzidkat Hashem which results in kedushah (holiness).

1 I appeal to you, therefore, Achim b’Moshiach, through the rachamei Hashem (mercies of G-d), to present your geviyah,* all of your being, as a korban chai (living sacrifice), kadosh (holy) and acceptable to Hashem,* which is your spiritual avodas kodesh service.

17 I appeal to you, Achim b’Moshiach, to look out for those who cause kitot (sects) and nisyonot (temptations) contrary to the Torah which you learned, and keep away from them.

3 But do not let zenut (fornication) or anything of tumah (uncleanness) or chamdanut (covetousness) even be named among you, as is proper for Kedoshim.

3 But do not let zenut (fornication) or anything of tumah (uncleanness) or chamdanut (covetousness) even be named among you, as is proper for Kedoshim.

22 For the torah you received was that you must disrobe from your former derech of your old self, the one being corrupted according to the ta’avot of AKOV* (deceitful) remiyah (guile), 23 And to be renewed by the Ruach Hakodesh controlling your machshavot (thoughts), 24 And to enrobe yourself in the Adam HeChadash (the new Man, humanity), having been created according to the demut Hashem in tzidkat Elokeinu and in the kedushah of HaEmes.

21 And you, once having been alienated and oyvim (enemies) in the mind by ma’asim hara’im (evil deeds), 22 Yet now Moshiach reconciled in the Guf (body)* of his basar* through Moshiachʼs histalkus* to present you, Kedoshim holy and without mum* (defect) and without reproach before Him, 23 Provided you remain in the* Emunah,* having been founded in it and securely established and not moving away from the tikvah (hope) of the Besuras HaGeulah which you heard, the Besuras HaGeulah which has been proclaimed in kol hanivrah (all creation) under Shomayim, the Besuras HaGeulah of which I, Rav Sha’ul, became a keli kodesh (minister).

17 Set them apart for a use that is kodesh in HaEmes (The Truth).* Your Dvar is HaEmes.

9 How shall a na’ar cleanse his way?

By being shomer thereto according to Thy Davar (Word).

23 Search me, O El, and know my levav;

test me, and know my thoughts;

24 And see if there be any derech otzev (torturous crooked road) in me,

and lead me in the Derech Olam.

1 (Of Dovid)

Barachi (Bless) Hashem, O my nefesh;

and all that is within me, bless His Shem kodesh.

16 Do you not have da’as that you are a Heikhal Hashem and the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem dwells in you?

2 To the Kehillah (congregation) of Hashem existing in Corinth, to the ones having been set apart unto kedushah (holiness) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, given the kri’ah to be Kedoshim, with all the ones who in every place call on the name of Adoneinu, theirs and ours, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,

1 If, therefore, there is any idud (encouragement) in Moshiach, if any nechamah (comfort) of ahavah (love), if any deveykus (attachment to G-d) in the Messianic chavrusashaft (association) of the Ruach Hakodesh, if any warmth of affection and rachamanut (compassion, mercy), 2 Then make my simcha (joy) shleimah (complete) by having the same lev, the same ahavah, being an agudah association with one neshamah, thinking the same machshavot (thoughts), 3 Doing nothing according to anochiyut* (selfishness) nor according to empty ga’avah (conceit, haughtiness, arrogance), but in anavah (humility), fergin (graciously grant) each other esteem above yourselves.* 4 Let each of you talmidim look after not only your own interests, but also the best interests of others.* 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, 6 Who, though existing in the demut of the mode of being of Elohim,* nevertheless Moshiach did not regard being equal with G-d as a thing to be seized,* 7 But poured out and emptied himself,* taking the demut of the mode of being of an eved,* T.N. see the AVDI TZADDIK TZEMACH DOVID MOSHIACH Jer 23:5; Zech 3:8 and was born in the likeness of Bnei Adam,* and having been found in appearance as an Adam, 8 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach humbled himself and took the path of shiflut (lowliness), unto mishma’at* (obedience)* even unto death,* and that, a death on HaEtz.* 9 Therefore, also Hashem exalted* Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and gave to him haShem* above every name, 10 That at haShem of Yehoshua, KOL BERECH (every knee) will bow,* of beings b’Shomayim and ba’Aretz and mitachat la’Aretz (in the world below), 11 And KOL LASHON* (every tongue) shall make hoda’ah (confession) with an Ani Ma’amin that is an open and public admission that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) is Adoneinu, to the kavod of Elohim Avinu.

12 Therefore, Chaverim, just as you have always had mishma’at* (obedience) concerning me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own Yeshu’ah (Salvation)*[28] B’YIR’AH (with fear) and BIRA’DAH "with trembling".* 13 For Hashem is the one working in you, both to will and to work according to His chafetz (good pleasure of His will).*

14 Do all things without murmurings and madon, 15 That you may be innocent and without michshol of blame,* bnei haElohim TAMIM U’MUM* (unblemished and unspotted) in the midst of a DOR IKKESH UFETALTOL (warped and crooked generation),* among whom you shine as the ZOHAR* in the Olam Hazeh, 16 Holding fast the Dvar HaChayyim. This is so that I will have reason for glorying on the Yom HaMoshiach,* that I neither ran nor labored L’TOHU (in vain).* 17 And, indeed, if my neshamah is to be poured out as a nesekh (libation wine) offering upon the korban (sacrifice) of the avodas kodesh (kohenʼs service, ministry) of your emunah, I have simcha, rejoicing together with you all.* 18 And in the same way also you have simcha, rejoicing together with me.*

19 I have tikvah b’Adoneinu Yehoshua to send Timotiyos to you soon, that I also may be cheered up in the da’as of the things concerning you. 20 For I have no one like-minded who will emesdik (genuinely) care for your spiritual welfare. 21 All of them are seeking their own interest,* not those of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. 22 But of the proven mamashus (real worth) of Timotiyos you have da’as, because as a ben with his abba, Timotiyos served with me in the Besuras HaGeulah. 23 Therefore, I have tikvah to send him, as soon as I see how things will go with me. 24 But I have bitachon in Hashem that indeed I will come quickly.

25 But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, the Ach b’Moshiach and fellow po’el (worker) and fellow chaiyal (soldier) of mine, but your shliach and keli kodesh (minister) of my need.* 26 I am sending him to you, because he was yearning after you all and was under zeiyar (extremely great) stress, because you heard that he was ill. 27 For indeed he was ill, coming near to death, but Hashem had mercy on him not on him only but also on me, lest I should have agmat nefesh upon agmat nefesh. 28 Therefore, I am all the more eager to dispatch him to you, in order that when you have seen him again, you may have simcha and I may have less agmat nefesh. 29 Therefore, receive him in Adoneinu with all simcha and hold esteem for such klei kodesh (ministers),* 30 Because he came near to death on account of the avodas kodesh of Moshiach, performing an act of Messianic mesirat nefesh (whole-hearted devotion)* having risked his life, that he might make up for the ministry to me that you could not give.

48 Therefore, be shlemim (complete), even as is your Av sh’ba’Shomayim.

16 Now no one having lit a menorah covers it with a jar or places it under a bed; but he places the menorah on the shulchan, in order that the ones entering may see the ohr (light).

14 Seek tov, and not rah,

that ye may live;

and so Hashem Elohei Tzva’os shall be with you,

just as ye say He is.

10 The Yirat Hashem is the beginning of chochmah,

and the da’as Kedoshim (knowledge of the Holy One) is binah (understanding).

25 It is a mokesh adam to devote rashly as kodesh,

and after nedarim (vows) to reconsider his consecration.

26 And ye shall be kedoshim unto Me: for I Hashem am kadosh, and have separated you from the nations, that ye should be Mine.

26 And ye shall be kedoshim unto Me: for I Hashem am kadosh, and have separated you from the nations, that ye should be Mine.

7 Consecrate yourselves as kodesh, therefore, and be ye kedoshim: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.

4 But let the tzaddikim have simchah;

let them rejoice before Elohim;

and, let them rejoice with simchah.

5 Sing unto Elohim,

sing praises to Shmo;

extol Him that rideth on the clouds by Shmo Hashem,

and rejoice before Him.
