That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have
seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our
hands, concerning the word of life--
~y
the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and
proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made
manifest to us--
~y
that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you
may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and
with his Son Jesus Christ.

And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
~y
@ This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that
God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
~y
If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie
and do not live according to the truth;
~y
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all
sin.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ou . . .

Now King David was old and advanced in years; and although they covered
him with clothes, he could not get warm.
~y
Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young maiden be sought for
my lord the king, and let her wait upon the king, and be his nurse; let
her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may be warm."
~y
So they sought for a beautiful maiden throughout all the territory of
Israel, and found Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite, and brought her to the king.
~y
The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and
ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
~y
@ Now Adoni'jah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be
king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men
to run before him.
~y
His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, "Why have
you done thus and so?" He was also a very handsome man; and he was born
next after Ab'salom.

He conferred with Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah and with Abi'athar the
priest; an . . .

After Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came from the land
of Kittim, had defeated Darius, king of the Persians and the Medes, he
succeeded him as king. (He had previously become king of Greece.)
~y
He fought many battles, conquered strongholds, and put to death the
kings of the earth.
~y
He advanced to the ends of the earth, and plundered many nations. When
the earth became quiet before him, he was exalted, and his heart was
lifted up.
~y
He gathered a very strong army and ruled over countries, nations, and
princes, and they became tributary to him.
~y
@ After this he fell sick and perceived that he was dying.
~y
So he summoned his most honored officers, who had been brought up with
him from youth, and divided his kingdom among them while he was still
alive.
~y
And after Alexander had reigned twelve years, he died.
~y
@ Then his officers began to rule, each in his own place.

They all put on crowns after his death, and so did their sons after
them for many year . . .

Pontus, Galatia, Cappado'cia, Asia, and Bithyn'ia,

chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for
obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace

@ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great
mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead,

and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
kept in heaven for you,

who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time.

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to
suffer various trials,

so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which
though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory
and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

There was a certain man of Ramatha'im-zo'phim of the hill country of
E'phraim, whose name was Elka'nah the son of Jero'ham, son of Eli'hu,
son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an E'phraimite.
~y
He had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the
other Penin'nah. And Penin'nah had children, but Hannah had no children.
~y
@ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and
to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.
~y
On the day when Elka'nah sacrificed, he would give portions to
Penin'nah his wife and to all her sons and daughters;
~y
and, although he loved Hannah, he would give Hannah only one portion,
because the LORD had closed her womb.
~y
And her rival used to provoke her sorely, to irritate her, because the
LORD had closed her womb.

So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the
LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would . . .

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the
word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit;
~y
so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedo'nia and in
Acha'ia.

Macedo'nia and Acha'ia, but your faith in God has gone forth
everywhere, so that we need not say an . . .

@ As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that
you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,
~y
nor to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies which
promote speculations rather than the divine training that is in faith;
~y
whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and
a good conscience and sincere faith.
~y
Certain persons by swerving from these have wandered away into vain
discussion,

desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what
they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.

understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for

Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the

hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the
heads of fathers' houses.

And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that
was at Gibeon; for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant
of the LORD had made in the wilderness, was there.

(But David had brought up the ark of God from Kir'iath-je'arim to the
place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it

Moreover the bronze altar that Bez'alel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had

assembly sought the LORD.

ourselves are comforted by God.

For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we
share abundantly in comfort too.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we
are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you
patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our

@ Now Ahazi'ah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in
Sama'ria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, "Go,
inquire of Ba'al-ze'bub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from

But the angel of the LORD said to Eli'jah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up

Ba'al-ze'bub, the god of Ekron?'

The subject that I am about to discuss is most philosophical, that is,
whether devout reason is sovereign over the emotions. So it is right
for me to advise you to pay earnest attention to philosophy.
~y
For the subject is essential to everyone who is seeking knowledge, and
in addition it includes the praise of the highest virtue -- I mean, of
course, rational judgment.
~y
If, then, it is evident that reason rules over those emotions that
hinder self-control, namely, gluttony and lust,
~y

thou who hast made heaven and earth with all their order;

The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
~y
That men may know wisdom and instruction,
 understand words of insight,
~y
receive instruction in wise dealing,
 righteousness, justice, and equity;
~y
that prudence may be given to the simple,
 knowledge and discretion to the youth--
~y
the wise man also may hear and increase in learning,
 and the man of understanding acquire skill,
~y
to understand a proverb and a figure,
 the words of the wise and their riddles.
~y
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
 fools despise wisdom and instruction.
~y
Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
 and reject not your mother's teaching;
~y
for they are a fair garland for your head,
 and pendants for your neck.
~y
My son, if sinners entice you,
 do not consent.
~y
If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood,
 let us wantonly ambush the innocent;
~y
like Sheol let us swallow them alive
 and whole, like those who go down to the Pit;

we shall find all p . . .

Blessed is the man
 who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
 nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

but his delight is in the law of the LORD,

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,
 vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

What does man gain by all the toil
 at which he toils under the sun?

A generation goes, and a generation comes,

All streams run to the sea,
 but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
 there they flow again.
~y
All things are full of weariness;
 a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
 nor the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be,
 and what has been done is what will be done;
 and there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there a thing of which it is said,
 "See, this is new"?
It has been already,

The Prologue
Whereas many great teachings have been given to us through the
law and the prophets and the others that followed them, on account
of which we should praise Israel for instruction and wisdom; and since
it is necessary not only that the readers themselves should acquire
understanding but also that those who love learning should be able to
help the outsiders by both speaking and writing, my grandfather Jesus,
after devoting himself especially to the reading of the law and the
prophets and the other books of our fathers, and after acquiring
considerable proficiency in them, was himself also led to write
something pertaining to instruction and wisdom, in order that, by
becoming conversant with this also, those who love learning should make
even greater progress in living according to the law.

@ You are urged therefore to read with good will and attention, and to
be indulgent in cases where, despite out diligent labor in translating,
we may seem to have rendered so . . .

Her parents were righteous, and had taught their daughter according to
