PesNT(Eth)
The Second Book of Clement
2Clem
[1]O deficient-minded Galatoyee, who bewildereth you? For, behold, as if depicted before your eyes, hath Jeshu the Meshiha been crucified. [No book]
[2]This only would I know from you: Through the works of the law received you the Spirit, or through the hearing of faith? [No book]
[3]Are you so foolish that having begun in the Spirit you are now finishing in the flesh? [No book]
[4]And all these have you borne in vain? But would it be in vain? [No book]
[5]Then, he who imparted to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, [did he so] through the works of the law, or through the hearing of faith? [No book]
[6]AS Abraham believed Aloha, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, [No book]
[7]Know therefore that they who are of faith are the children of Abraham. [No book]
[8]For Aloha who knew before that he would justify the Gentiles through faith, evangelized before unto Abraham; as saith the holy scripture: In thee all the nations shall be blessed: [No book]
[9]Therefore believers are blessed with Abraham the believer. [No book]
[10]For they who are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who doeth not all that is written in this law. [No book]
[11]But that man is not justified by the law before Aloha, this maketh manifest: because it is written, The just by faith shall live. [No book]
[12]But the law is not of faith: but he who doeth those things that are written in it shall live by them. [No book]
[13]But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood: [No book]
[14]In order that upon the nations there might be the blessing of Abraham in Jeshu the Meshiha, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. [No book]
[15]MY brethren, I speak as among men: That a covenant of man because confirmed no one rejecteth, or changeth in any thing. [No book]
[16]But to Abraham was promised the promise, and to his seed. And he did not say to him, Unto thy seeds, as of many; but, To thy seed, as of one, him, [namely,] who is the Meshiha. [No book]
[17]But I say this, that the covenant which was confirmed before by Aloha, in the Meshiha, the law which was after, four hundred and thirty years, cannot nullify, nor [can it] abolish the promise. [No book]
[18]But if the inheritance was by the law, it could not have been by the promise; but Aloha gave it unto Abraham by promise. [No book]
[19]Wherefore then was the law? It was added on account of transgression, until the Seed should come, he, of whom was the promise; and the law was given by angels into the hand of a Mediator. [No book]
[20]But a Mediator is not of one; but Aloha is one. [No book]
[21]Is the law therefore against the promise of Aloha? Impossible: for if a law had been given which could make [guilty man] to live, certainly righteousness would have been by the law. [No book]
[22]But the scripture hath included all under sin, that the promise through faith of Jeshu Meshiha might be given to them who believe. [No book]
[23]But until [the dispensation of] faith came, the law kept us, as shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed. [No book]
[24]The law therefore was our conductor to the Meshiha, that we might be justified by faith. [No book]
[25]But faith being come, we are not under the conductor. [No book]
[26]For you are all the children of Aloha through the faith of Jeshu the Meshiha. [No book]
[27]For they who into the Meshiha are baptized have been clothed with the Meshiha. [No book]
[28]Jihudoya or Aramoya is not; the slave or the free is not; male or female is not; for you are all one in Jeshu Meshiha. [No book]
[29]And if you are of the Meshiha, therefore are you the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise. [No book]
