A unique gender neutral paraphrase of the New Testament that uses the true name of Yahweh God, and Yeshua, the Christ, unlike most current Bibles, which uses the man made word Jehova, incorrectly. I am doing one book at a time so this is a continuing series of a work in progress.
[1-11]From Simon Peter, a worker and a follower of Yeshua the Christ, to those who have come to the same treasured faith as us by the goodness of our God and Savior, Yeshua the Christ: May grace and peace be given to you by the knowledge of God, and of Yeshua our Christ, as the power of God gives us everything we need for life and godliness, by the knowledge of The ONE who has called us to victory and goodness: By this, amazing and treasured truths were given to us: that by these you might have a godly nature, having been freed from wanting what is evil in the world. And besides this, give all your attention to adding goodness to your faith; and knowledge to goodness; and self-control to knowledge; and patience to self-control; and godliness to patience; and friendly care and concern to godliness; and love to friendly care and concern. Because if you have these things and grow in them, your life won't be empty or unrewarding in the knowledge of our Savior, Yeshua, the Christ. But whoever doesn't have these things can't see what's ahead, and has forgotten that they've been freed from their old sins. So dear Christians, be careful to make sure you were chosen and called, because if you do these things, you won't fall: So your way will be fully cleared into the everlasting realm of our God and Savior, Yeshua the Christ.
[12-21] I won't forget to remind you of this always, though you know it, and are now settled in the truth. Yes, I think I'm right, as long as I'm in this body, to wake you up by reminding you; knowing that shortly I must leave this body of mine, even as our Savior, Yeshua the Christ has told me ahead of time. Besides this, I'll try to make sure you'll always remember this after my death. Because we haven't followed made-up story tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Savior, Yeshua, the Christ, but we saw for ourselves Yeshua's greatness. And the Christ received from YAHWEH GOD honor and victory, when the voice of The ONE Worthy of Praise came to Yeshua, saying, "This is My Child, who I love, and am so pleased with." And we heard this voice from heaven for ourselves, when we were with the Christ in the holy mountain. So we're sure of the Word, which was given ahead of time; and you'll do good to think of it as a light that shines in the dark, until the dawn of day when the sun rises in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no Word, which was given ahead of time in the scripture, is of any human origin. And because the word, which was given ahead of time in the old days, wasn't created by the mind of any human being: but the holy ones of God spoke as they were led by the Holy Spirit.
[1-11] But there were false teachers among the people then, even as there are among you now, who secretly teach damned falsehoods, even disowning the very Christ who paid the price for them, and who bring on themselves a quick ruin. And many will follow their evil ways; who will cause the way of truth to be spoken of as evil. And through greed they'll get rich off of you with their false words: whose judgment has left them along time ago, and their damnation won't end. If God didn't even spare the angels that sinned, but threw them down to hell, and put them into chains of darkness, to be kept until the judgment; And didn't spare the old world, but saved Noah, one of only eight people, a great preacher of goodness, sending the flood on the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, damned them to complete ruin, making them an example to those who live ungodly lives now; And saved Lot, who was good, but suffered greatly from the filthy acts of those evil people: (because living among them, that good person's soul suffered daily by seeing and hearing their uncontrolled actions) But God knew how to save the godly from those temptations, and how to keep the evil ones to be punished until the day of judgment: But most importantly those who follow their physical instincts in their greed for evil things, and hate to be told what they should do. They are full of self-importance, and selfish, and they aren't afraid to speak evil of those in power. While angels, which are stronger and more powerful, won't even accuse them to God.
