4 Then the food offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to YAHUVEH,
as in the days of old, and as in former years. 5 And I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness
against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to
a lie; and against those who extort from the hired laborer’s pay; and turning
away the widow, and the fatherless, and the foreigner, and not fearing Me, says
YAHUVEH of Hosts. 6 For I am YAHUVEH, I do not change. Because of this, you sons of Jacob are not
destroyed. 7 From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes and have
not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says YAHUVEH of Hosts.
But you say, In what shall we return? 8 Will a man rob ELOHIM? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, In what have we
robbed You? In the tithe and the offering! 9 You are cursed with a curse, for the nation, all of it, you are robbing Me,. 10 Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My
house. And test Me now with this, says YAHUVEH of Hosts, whether I will not open
the windows of the heavens for you and pour out a blessing until there is no
sufficiency of room to store it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for you, and he shall not destroy the fruit of
your ground against you; nor shall your vine miscarry against you in the field,
says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,
says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 13 Your words have been strong against Me, says YAHUVEH. Yet you say, What have
we spoken against you? 14 You have said, It is vanity to serve ELOHIM. And, What profit is it that we
have kept His charge, and that we have walked as mourners before YAHUVEH of
Hosts? 15 And now we are calling the arrogant blessed. Not only are the doers of
wickedness built up, they also test ELOHIM, and escape. 16 Then those fearing YAHUVEH spoke together, each man to his neighbor. And
YAHUVEH gave attention and heard. And a Book of Remembrance was written before
Him for those who feared YAHUVEH, and for those esteeming His name. 17 And they shall be Mine, says YAHUVEH of Hosts, for the day that I will make
up My treasure. And I will pity them as a man has pity on his son who serves
him. 18 Then you shall return and see the difference between the righteous and the
wicked, between him who serves ELOHIM and him who does not serve Him.
*~Malachi Chapter 4 ~*
1 For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and
every doer of wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them
ablaze, says YAHUVEH of Hosts, which will not leave root or branches to them. 2 But to you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise up, and
healing will be on His wings. And you shall go out and frisk like calves of the
stall. 3 And you shall tread under the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles
of your feet in the day which I am preparing, says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 4 Remember the Torah of My servant Moses which I commanded him in Horeb for all
Israel, the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of YAHUVEH. 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the
sons to their fathers, that I not come and strike the earth with utter
destruction.
Corinthians 15:1–58
1 But, brothers, I reveal to you the good news which I preached to you, which
you also received, in which you also stand, 2 by which you also are being kept safe, if you hold fast the Word which I
preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you in the first place what I also received, that Messiah
died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day, according to
the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 Then He appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, of whom are still
standing until now, but some also fell asleep. 7 Then He was seen by Jacob, then by all the apostles; 8 and last of all, He was also seen by me; ignorant and imperfectly trained as I
was. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the Congregation of YAHUVEH. 10 But by the grace of ELOHIM I am what I am, and His grace which was toward me
has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet
not I, but the grace of ELOHIM within me. 11 Then whether they or I, so we preach, and so you believed. 12 But if Messiah is proclaimed, that He was raised from the dead, how do some
among you say that there is not a resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been
raised. 14 But if Messiah has not been raised, then our proclamation is worthless, and
your faith is also worthless. 15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of ELOHIM, because we witnessed
as to ELOHIM that He raised Messiah, whom He did not raise, if the dead ones are
not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, Messiah has not been raised. 17 But if Messiah has not been raised, your faith is foolish; you are still in
your sins. 18 And then those that fell asleep in Messiah have perished. 19 If we only have hope in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most
miserable. 20 But now Messiah has been raised from the dead; He became the first-fruit of
those having fallen asleep. 21 For since through man came death, also through a Man is a resurrection of the
dead; 22 for as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Messiah, the first-fruit; afterward those of
Messiah at His coming. 24 Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to YAHUVEH, even the Father,
when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power. 25 For it is right for Him to reign until He puts all enemies under His feet; 26 the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For “He subjected all things under His feet;” but when He says that “all
things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts Him” (The Father) who
has subjected all things to Him. (Psa. 8:6) 28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be
subjected to the One (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him, that
YAHUVEH may be all things in all. 29 Otherwise, what will they do, those being baptized for the dead? If the dead
are not at all raised, why indeed are they baptized for the dead? 30 And why do we continue to stand in danger every hour? 31 I affirm by your pride, which I have in Messiah YAHUSHUA our Master, I die
daily. 32 If, after the manner of men, I was thrown to wild beasts in Ephesus, what is
the profit to me if the dead are not raised? “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow
we die.” 33 Do not be led astray; bad companionships ruin good habits. 34 Awake your hearts to righteousness, and do not sin; for some have not the
knowledge of YAHUVEH. I speak to your shame. 35 But someone will say, How are the dead raised? And with what body do they
come? 36 Foolish one! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow the body that is going to be, but a bare
grain, it may be of wheat or barley, or of some other seed, 38 and ELOHIM gives it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds
its own natural body. 39 Not every flesh is the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another
flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds. 40 And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies. But the glory of the
heavenly is truly different, and that of the earthly different; 41 one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42 So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised
in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is
raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 So also it has been written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The
last Adam a life-giving Spirit. 46 But not the spiritual first, but the natural; afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was out of earth, earthy. The second Man was the Master YAHUVEH
out of Heaven. 48 As is the earthy man, such also are the earthy ones. And such as is the
heavenly Man, such also are the heavenly ones. 49 And as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the likeness
of the heavenly one. 50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the
kingdom of YAHUVEH, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall
all be changed. 52 In a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet; for a trumpet
will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be
changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. 54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
put on immortality, then will take place the Word that has been written, “Death
was swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” 56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Torah; 57 but thanks be to ELOHIM who gives us the victory through our Master YAHUSHUA
Messiah! 58 So that, my beloved brothers, you be firm, immovable, abounding in the work
of YAHUVEH always, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Master
YAHUVEH.
