(parallel missing)
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest.

On the contrary, after you die, you will be sent] {[God] will send you} down into the place where [sinful people] will be punished {he will punish sinful people} [forever. God destroyed the ancient city of] Sodom [because the people who lived in that city were extremely wicked]. If I had performed in [Sodom the miracles that I performed in your city, the people there would have turned away from their wicked behavior and] their [city] [MET] would still exist now [MTY]. But you, [although I did miracles in your city, you did not turn from your wicked behavior]. (Hadēs g86)

[God is willing to] forgive people who criticize [me], the One who came from heaven. But I [warn you that] those who say evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does] will not be forgiven {[God] will not forgive people who speak evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does]}.

[Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
Was dahin fällt, wo Dornen wachsen, das bedeutet einen Hörer, bei dem die Sorge um die irdischen Dinge und der verführerische Reiz des Reichtums das Wort zu ersticken, so daß es fruchtlos bleibt. (aiōn g165)

Der Feind, der das Unkraut sät, ist der Teufel. Die Ernte ist das Ende dieser Weltzeit. Die Schnitter sind die Engel. (aiōn g165)
The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
Wie man nun das Unkraut sammelt und mit Feuer verbrennt, so wird es auch am Ende dieser Weltzeit gehen. (aiōn g165)
[What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
So wird es auch am Ende dieser Weltzeit sein. Die Engel werden ausgehen, sie werden die Bösen von den Gerechten scheiden (aiōn g165)
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Und ich sage dir: Du bist Petrus, und im Anschluß an diesen Stein will ich das Haus meiner Kirche bauen, und des Totenreiches Tore sollen sie nicht bezwingen. (Hadēs g86)
So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Wenn dich aber deine Hand oder dein Fuß zur Sünde reizt, haue sie ab und wirf sie weg! Es ist besser für dich, du gehst verstümmelt oder hinkend ins Leben ein, als daß du zwei Hände oder zwei Füße hast und ins ewige Feuer geworfen wirst. (aiōnios g166)
If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]!

But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)
Und wenn dich dein Auge zur Sünde reizt, reiß es aus und wirf es weg! Es ist besser für dich, du gehst einäugig ins Leben ein, als daß du zwei Augen hast und ins höllische Feuer geworfen wirst. (Geenna g1067)

[God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members].

Ja jeder, der Geschwister, Eltern, Weib und Kind oder Äcker und Häuser um meines Namens willen fahren läßt, der soll reichen Ersatz dafür empfangen und das ewige Leben als Erbe bekommen. (aiōnios g166)
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it.

“You are hypocrites, you men who teach the [Jewish] laws and you Pharisees! Your punishment will be terrible, because you exert yourselves very much to get [even] one person to believe what you teach.

And [as a result], when one person [believes what you teach], you make that person much more deserving to go to hell than you yourselves [deserve to].” (Geenna g1067)
Weh euch, ihr Schriftgelehrten und Pharisäer, ihr Heuchler! Ihr zieht über Land und Meer, um einen einzigen Jünger zu gewinnen. Und ist euch das gelungen, so macht ihr ihn zu einem Kind der Hölle, das zweimal ärger ist als ihr! (Geenna g1067)
[You people are so wicked] You are [as dangerous as poisonous] snakes [DOU, MET]! (You [foolishly] think that you will escape being punished in hell!/Do you [foolishly] think that you will escape when [God] punishes [wicked people] in hell?) [RHQ] (Geenna g1067)

Und sie gehen weg zu ewiger Strafe; die Gerechten aber gehen ein ins ewige Leben." (aiōnios g166)

they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
aber die irdischen Sorgen, der verführerische Reiz des Reichtums und tausend andere Begierden, die dringen ins Herz und ersticken das Wort, und es bleibt ohne Frucht. (aiōn g165)

It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Und wenn deine Hand dich zur Sünde reizt, haue sie ab! Es ist besser für dich, du gehst verstümmelt ins Leben ein, als daß du zwei Hände hast und fährst in die Hölle: Ins Feuer, das niemand löschen kann. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Und wenn dein Fuß dich zur Sünde reizt, haue ihn ab! Es ist besser für dich, du gehst hinkend ins Leben ein, als daß du zwei Füße hast und in die Hölle geworfen wirst. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Und wenn dich dein Auge zur Sünde reizt, reiße es aus! Es ist besser für dich, du kommst einäugig ins Gottesreich, als daß du zwei Augen hast und in die Hölle geworfen wirst, (Geenna g1067)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Als er seine Wanderung fortsetzen wollte, lief einer zu ihm, fiel vor ihm auf die Knie und fragte ihn: "Guter Meister, was muß ich vollbringen, um ewiges Leben mir zu erringen?" (aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Da sprach er zu dem Baum: "In Zukunft soll man nie wieder Frucht von dir essen!" Und seine Jünger hörten diese Worte. (aiōn g165)
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
und er wird über Jakobs Haus in Ewigkeit herrschen, und sein Königtum wird kein Ende haben." (aiōn g165)
He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
denn nach den Worten, die er einst geredet hat zu unseren Vätern, will er nun an Abraham und sein Geschlecht erbarmungsreich gedenken ewiglich." (aiōn g165)
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
wie er von altersher durch seiner heiligen Propheten Mund verheißen hat —: (aiōn g165)
[The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Die Geister aber baten Jesus, er möge ihnen nicht befehlen, in den Abgrund zu fahren. (Abyssos g12)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Und du, Kapernaum, meinst du vielleicht, du wirst bis zum Himmel erhoben? In die Tiefe der Unterwelt sollst du hinabgestürzt werden! (Hadēs g86)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Da erhob sich ein Gesetzeslehrer, der ihm eine Falle stellen wollte, und fragte ihn: "Meister, was muß ich tun, um ewiges Leben zu erlangen?" (aiōnios g166)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Ich will euch sagen, vor wem ihr euch zu fürchten habt: Fürchtet euch vor dem, der die Macht besitzt, nicht nur zu töten, sondern auch in die Hölle zu werfen! Ja, ich sage euch: Den fürchtet! (Geenna g1067)
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
Und der Herr lobte seinen betrügerischen Verwalter, weil er klug gehandelt habe. Denn die Kinder dieser Weltzeit sind im Verkehr mit ihresgleichen klüger als die Kinder des Lichts. (aiōn g165)
[So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
Auch ich sage euch: Macht euch Freunde mit dem Geld, an dem oft so viel Unrecht klebt, damit ihr bei dem Scheiden aus dieser Welt in den ewigen Wohnungen Aufnahme findet. (aiōnios g166)
In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
Als er nun im Totenreich Qualen litt, hob er seine Augen auf: da sah er Abraham in weiter Ferne und Lazarus in seinen Armen. (Hadēs g86)
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Es fragte ihn ein Gemeindevorsteher: "Guter Meister, was muß ich tun, um das ewige Leben zu erlangen?" (aiōnios g166)
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
Da antwortete ihnen Jesus: "Die Leute in dieser Weltzeit freien und lassen sich freien. (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
Die aber gewürdigt werden, jene Weltzeit zu erlangen und die Auferstehung, zu der nur eine Auswahl aus den Toten kommt, die freien nicht und lassen sich nicht freien. (aiōn g165)
As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.” (aiōnios g166)
damit jeder, der an ihn glaubt, das ewige Leben habe." (aiōnios g166)
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son [as a sacrifice for us], in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Denn so sehr hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gegeben hat, damit jeder, der an ihn glaubt, nicht verlorengehe, sondern das ewige Leben habe. (aiōnios g166)
Those who trust in [God’s] Son have eternal life. But those who reject God’s Son will never have [eternal] life. Instead, God is angry with them [and he will surely punish them]. (aiōnios g166)
Wer an den Sohn glaubt, der hat das ewige Leben. Wer aber dem Sohn nicht gehorcht, der wird kein Leben schauen; sondern Gottes Zorn lastet immerfort auf ihm. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
Wer diese Ernte einbringt, empfängt schon dadurch Belohnung, daß er Frucht fürs ewige Leben sammelt: so sollen sich der Sämann und der Schnitter miteinander freuen. (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer meinem Wort gehorcht und glaubt dem, der mich gesandt, der hat das ewige Leben und kommt in kein Gericht, er ist vielmehr vom Tod durchgedrungen in das Leben. (aiōnios g166)
You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
Ihr forscht wohl in den Schriften; denn ihr meint, schon darin hättet ihr das ewige Leben, und sie sind's auch, die von mir zeugen. (aiōnios g166)
Stop desiring food that will soon spoil! Instead, desire to get [spiritual] food that will last forever! Yearn for eternal life! That is what I, the one who came from heaven, will give you. God [my] Father has shown that he approves of me [enabling me to do that].” (aiōnios g166)
Müht euch nicht um vergängliche Speise, sondern um die Speise, die bis ins ewige Leben vorhält und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird! Denn ihn hat Gott der Vater dazu beglaubigt." (aiōnios g166)
[Long ago in the desolate area when those who were bitten by snakes looked at the bronze replica of a snake, they were healed] [MET]. What my Father wants is that [similarly] everyone who looks at [what] I [have done] and believes in me will have eternal life. I will cause them to become alive again (on the last day/on the day [when I judge everyone]) [MTY].” (aiōnios g166)
Denn dies ist meines Vaters Wille, daß jeder, der auf den Sohn schaut und an ihn glaubt, das ewige Leben habe und ich ihn am Jüngsten Tag auferwecke." (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer glaubt, der hat ewiges Leben. (aiōnios g166)
I am the one who came down from heaven to enable people to have [spiritual] life. If people take what I will give them, they will live forever. What I will give them is my flesh, which I will give to [all the people in] [MTY] the world in order that they may have [spiritual] life.” (aiōn g165)
Ich bin das lebendige Brot, das vom Himmel herabgekommen ist. Wer von diesem Brot ißt, wird ewig leben. Das Brot aber, das ich geben werde, ist mein Fleisch: dies Brot gereicht der Welt zum Leben." (aiōn g165)
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will cause them to become alive again at (the last day/the [judgment] day), (aiōnios g166)
Wer mein Fleisch ißt und mein Blut trinkt, der hat ewiges Leben, und den werde ich am Jüngsten Tag auferwecken. (aiōnios g166)
[I am] the true bread that came down from heaven. Although our ancestors ate [manna], they [later] died [anyway]. But those who eat this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
So ist das Brot beschaffen, das vom Himmel herabgekommen ist. Dies Brot ist anders als das Manna, das eure Väter gegessen haben: sie sind trotzdem gestorben. Wer aber dies mein Brot ißt, der wird ewig leben." (aiōn g165)
Simon Peter replied to him, “Lord, [we] will not [leave you], [because] (there is no other person [like you] to whom we can go!/what other person is there like [you] to whom we can go?) [RHQ] You have the message about eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Simon Petrus antwortete ihm: "Herr, zu wem sollten wir gehen? Du hast Worte des ewigen Lebens; (aiōnios g166)
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
Nun hat ein Knecht im Haus (seines Herrn) keine bleibende Wohnstatt; ein Sohn dagegen hat im Vaterhaus bleibend Recht. (aiōn g165)
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer mein Wort befolgt, der wird den Tod in Ewigkeit nicht sehen." (aiōn g165)
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
Da sprachen die Juden zu ihm: "Nun wissen wir bestimmt, daß du von einem bösen Geist besessen bist. Abraham ist gestorben und ebenso die Propheten, und du sagst: 'Wer mein Wort befolgt, der wird den Tod in Ewigkeit nicht schmecken.' (aiōn g165)
No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Solange die Welt steht, hat man nicht davon gehört, daß jemand einem Blindgeborenen die Augen aufgetan hätte. (aiōn g165)
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
Und wer in seinem Leben an mich glaubt, der soll nun und nimmer sterben. Glaubst du das?" (aiōn g165)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Sein Leben lieben heißt: es verlieren; sein Leben opfern in dieser Welt heißt: es erhalten fürs ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
Da antwortete ihm das Volk: "Wir haben aus dem Gesetz gelernt, daß der Messias ewig am Leben bleibt. Was soll es da bedeuten, wenn du behauptest: der Menschensohn muß erhöht werden? Wer ist denn dieser Menschensohn?" (aiōn g165)
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
Und ich weiß: Sein Auftrag bringt das ewige Leben. Was ich nun rede, das rede ich genau so, wie es der Vater mir gesagt hat." (aiōnios g166)
Peter said, “I will never, ever, [allow you to] wash my feet!” Jesus replied to him, “If I do not wash you, you cannot continue (to be my [disciple/to belong to] me).” (aiōn g165)
Petrus erwiderte: "Nun und nimmer sollst du mir die Füße waschen!" Jesus entgegnete ihm: "Wenn ich dich nicht wasche, so hast du keine Gemeinschaft mit mir." (aiōn g165)
Then I myself will request [my] Father, and he will send you someone else who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. (aiōn g165)
Dann will ich den Vater bitten, und er wird euch einen anderen Helfer geben, damit er ewig bei euch bleibe: (aiōn g165)
You gave me authority over all people, in order that I might enable all those whom you chose [to come] to me to live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Du hast ihm ja die Macht verliehen über alle Menschen, damit er allen, die du ihm gegeben, das ewige Leben schenke. (aiōnios g166)
[The way for people] to live eternally is for them to know that you are the only true God, and to know that [I], Jesus, am the Messiah, the one you have sent. (aiōnios g166)
Dies aber ist ja das ewige Leben: daß man erkenne dich, den einen wahren Gott, und ihn, den du gesandt hast, Jesus Christus. (aiōnios g166)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Denn du wirst meine Seele nicht im Totenreich lassen noch dulden, daß dein Heiliger verwese. (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
darum hat er mit Seherblick von des Messias Auferstehung geredet. Denn der ist nicht im Totenreich geblieben, und sein Leib ist nicht verwest. (Hadēs g86)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Den muß freilich der Himmel aufnehmen bis auf die Zeiten, da alles neugeordnet werden soll, wovon Gott durch seiner heiligen Propheten Mund von alters her geredet hat. (aiōn g165)
Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Da erklärten ihnen Paulus und Barnabas frei und offen: "Euch mußte zuerst Gottes Wort verkündigt werden. Weil ihr es aber von euch weist und euch selbst des ewigen Lebens nicht wert achtet, nun, so wenden wir uns zu den Heiden. (aiōnios g166)
While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Als die Heiden dies hörten, freuten sie sich und priesen das Wort des Herrn, und alle, die zum ewigen Leben bestimmt waren, wurden gläubig. (aiōnios g166)
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
Diese Weissagung ist von altersher bekannt. (aiōn g165)
[People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
Sein unsichtbares Wesen — seine ewige Macht und göttliche Größe — läßt sich ja seit der Erschaffung der Welt in seinen Werken deutlich wahrnehmen. Darum sind die Menschen auch ohne Entschuldigung, (aïdios g126)
Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
weil sie die Wahrheit Gottes mit der Lüge vertauscht und dem Geschöpf mehr Verehrung und Dienst erwiesen haben als dem Schöpfer, der da gepriesen sei in Ewigkeit. Amen. (aiōn g165)
[Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Den einen, die nach dem ewigen Leben trachten, wird, wenn sie im Guten standhaft bleiben, Herrlichkeit, Ehre und Unvergänglichkeit zuteil. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
Denn wie die Sünde Königin war im Machtgebiet des Todes: So soll nun die Gnade als Königin herrschen, indem sie die Gerechtigkeit verleiht, die zum ewigen Leben führt durch Jesus Christus, unseren Herrn. (aiōnios g166)
But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Jetzt aber, wo ihr von der Sünde frei und Gottes Knechte geworden seid, erwächst euch solche Frucht, die zur Heiligung führt, und endlich erlangt ihr das ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
[What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
Denn die Sünde zahlt als Sold den Tod. Das Gnadengeschenk Gottes aber ist das ewige Leben in der Gemeinschaft mit Christus Jesus, unserem Herrn. (aiōnios g166)
It was our ancestors, [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose to found our nation]. And, [most importantly], it was from us Israelites that the Messiah received his human nature. [Nevertheless, most of my fellow Israelites have rejected Christ], who is the one who controls all things! He is God, the one who is worthy that we praise him forever! This is true! (OR, Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Ihnen gehören die Erzväter an. Aus ihnen ist der Messias seiner Menschheit nach hervorgegangen —, der da ist Herr über alles und als Gott zu preisen in Ewigkeit. Amen. (aiōn g165)
“Or [you should not think inwardly], ‘(Someone will have to go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are!/Who will go down and enter the place where [the spirits] of dead persons are?)’ [RHQ]” That is to say, someone will have to [go down and] bring Christ up [from there to bring the message of salvation to us. You should not say that because Christ has already come down to save us, and has already become alive after he died]! (Abyssos g12)
oder: Wer wird in die Unterwelt hinabsteigen? — um Christus von den Toten heraufzuholen —. (Abyssos g12)
God has declared and proved that all people, [both Jews and non-Jews] [MET], disobey ([him/his laws]). He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all. (eleēsē g1653)
Denn Gott hat sie als Volk in den Kerker des Unglaubens eingeschlossen, um sich (einst) des ganzen Volkes zu erbarmen. (eleēsē g1653)
God [is the one who created] all things. He is also the one who [sustains all things]. The reason that he created them was that [everything he created might praise] him. May [all people] honor him forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Von ihm, durch ihn, für ihn sind alle Dinge. Ihm sei Lobpreis in Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
Bildet euch nicht nach den Grundsätzen dieser Weltzeit! Nehmt vielmehr ein anderes Wesen an, indem sich euer Sinn erneuert! Dann könnt ihr auch recht beurteilen, was Gottes Wille ist, oder mit anderen Worten: was gut ist, gottgefällig und vollkommen. (aiōn g165)
As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios g166)
Ihm aber, der euch stärken kann im Glauben an meine Heilsverkündigung und an die Botschaft Jesu Christi, worin sich ein Geheimnis offenbart, das ewiglang verschwiegen war, (aiōnios g166)
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios g166)
jetzt aber kundgemacht und durch die Auslegung der Schriften der Propheten nach dem Befehl des ewigen Gottes allen Völkern bekannt geworden ist, um sie dem Glauben gehorsam zu machen, (aiōnios g166)
[I desire that by] Jesus Christ [enabling us, we] will forever praise the one who alone is God, who alone is [truly] wise. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
- ihm, dem allein weisen Gott, ihm sei durch Jesus Christus Lobpreis in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)
Wo (sagt mir) bleiben die Weisen: die Schriftgelehrten und die Redekünstler, die vor den Leuten glänzen? Hat nicht Gott die Weltweisheit als Torheit kundgemacht? (aiōn g165)
I do teach a message that people who are [spiritually] mature [consider to] be wise. But I do not teach a message that unbelievers [consider to be] wise. I also do not teach a message that unbelieving rulers in the world consider to be wise. [What they think about it does not matter], because [some day] (they will lose their power/not be ruling any more). (aiōn g165)
Von Weisheit wissen wir freilich auch zu reden, wenn wir es mit geistlich Reifen zu tun haben. Doch das ist keine Weisheit, die dieser Welt angehört, oder die man bei den Machthabern dieser Welt, die dem Untergang geweiht sind, zu finden pflegt. (aiōn g165)
Instead, I teach about what God planned wisely [long ago]. It is something that people did not know about previously because [God] did not reveal it previously. But God determined before he created the world that he would greatly benefit us by his wise plan. (aiōn g165)
Sondern die Weisheit, die wir vortragen, ist (der Welt) verborgen, und schon vor aller Zeit hat sie Gott zu unserer Verherrlichung vorherbestimmt. (aiōn g165)
None of those who rule this world knew that wise plan. If they had known it, they would not have nailed our wonderful Lord to the cross. (aiōn g165)
Keiner von den Machthabern dieser Welt hat diese Weisheit erkannt — sonst hätten sie den Herrn der Herrlichkeit sicher nicht gekreuzigt —. (aiōn g165)
Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. [If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise] you should [be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are] foolish [IRO]. (aiōn g165)
Niemand täusche sich selbst! Bildet sich einer von euch ein, er sei in dieser Weltzeit weise, der werde zuerst ein Tor, damit er dann zur wahren Weisheit komme! (aiōn g165)
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn g165)
Verleite ich deshalb durch das Essen einer Speise meinen Bruder zur Sünde, so will ich in Zukunft überhaupt kein Fleisch mehr essen, um meinen Bruder nicht zur Sünde zu verführen. (aiōn g165)
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
Dies alles ist jenen vorbildlich widerfahren, und es ist aufgezeichnet worden zur Warnung für uns, die wir am Ende der Zeiten leben. (aiōn g165)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
Der Tod ist verschlungen vom Sieg! Tod, wo ist dein Sieg? Tod, wo ist dein Stachel? (Hadēs g86)
[Satan, who is] the one [who rules] this world, controls the thoughts of those unbelievers. He prevents them from understanding the message about how wonderful Christ is. [They are not able to understand that] Jesus is like God [in every way]. (aiōn g165)
Ihnen hat der Gott dieser Weltzeit wegen ihres Unglaubens den Sinn verblendet, damit ihnen nicht leuchte der Glanz der Frohen Botschaft von der Herrlichkeit Christi, der da ist das Ebenbild Gottes. (aiōn g165)
[I know that] all these troubles that [happen to us in this life are] not significant and will not last forever. [When we think of] the glorious things [that God is preparing] for us [to enjoy] forever [in heaven], all [our suffering now] is not important. (aiōnios g166)
Denn ein kurzer Augenblick leichter Trübsal bringt uns in überschwenglich reichem Maß eine ewige Fülle der Herrlichkeit, (aiōnios g166)
That is why we say, “We will not continue thinking about [all the suffering that we] are experiencing now. Even though [we] cannot see [all the things that God has prepared for us in heaven], those are what we should be thinking about.” [That is how we should think], because [all these troubles] that [we(exc)] have [now] will last only a short time. But what [we will have in heaven], what [we] cannot see [now], will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
wenn wir nicht schauen auf das Sichtbare, sondern auf das Unsichtbare. Denn das Sichtbare ist vergänglich, das Unsichtbare ist ewig. (aiōnios g166)
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Wir wissen ja: Wenn unser Zelt — das Haus, worin wir hier auf Erden wohnen — (im Tode) abgebrochen wird, so haben wir einen Bau, von Gott bereitet, ein himmlisches Haus, das nicht mit Händen gemacht ist, sondern ewig bleiben soll. (aiōnios g166)
[Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn g165)
Steht doch geschrieben: Er hat ausgestreut, er hat den Armen gegeben, seine Gerechtigkeit bleibt ewig. (aiōn g165)
God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)
Der Gott und Vater des Herrn Jesus — der gepriesen sei in Ewigkeit — der weiß, daß ich nicht lüge: (aiōn g165)
Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] in order that [he might remove the guilt for] our sins. He did that in order that he might enable us to not [do the evil things that people who do not know him] do. [He did this] because God, who is our Father, wanted it. (aiōn g165)
der sich für unsere Sünden dahingegeben hat, damit er uns befreie aus der gegenwärtigen bösen Weltzeit nach dem Willen unseres Gottes und Vaters, (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
dem Ehre gebührt in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
[God] will punish eternally those who do what their self-directed natures urge them to do. But those who please [God’s] Spirit will live forever [with God] because of what [God’s] Spirit does for them. (aiōnios g166)
Wer auf sein Fleisch sät, der wird von dem Fleisch Verderben ernten; wer aber auf den Geist sät, der wird von dem Geist ewiges Leben ernten. (aiōnios g166)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
Dort thront er nun, erhaben über alle Mächte und Gewalten, er haben über jede Kraft und Herrschaft, ja über alles, was es Hohes gibt in der Weltzeit und in der zukünftigen. (aiōn g165)
You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
Darin lebtet ihr einst nach der Weise dieser Welt, beeinflußt von dem Herrscher über die Macht der Finsternis: über jenen Geist, der jetzt wirksam ist in allen, die Gott nicht gehorchen. (aiōn g165)
in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
So will er in den kommenden Zeiten den überschwenglichen Reichtum seiner Gnade kundmachen durch die Güte, die er uns in Christus Jesus erwiesen hat. (aiōn g165)
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
und allen Lichten geben über das wahre Wesen jenes Geheimnisses, das von Ewigkeit her in Gott, dem Schöpfer aller Dinge, verborgen gewesen ist. (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
Dies hat sich Gott schon seit ewigen Zeiten vorgenommen in Christus Jesus, unserem Herrn. (aiōn g165)
Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, may all (believers/those who belong to him) praise him forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
ihm sei Ehre in der Kirche und in Christus Jesus bis in alle Geschlechter der endlosen Zeiten der zukünftigen Welt! Amen. (aiōn g165)
You must do this because the fighting that we [believers] do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere). (aiōn g165)
Denn wir haben nicht mit schwachen, sterblichen Menschen zu streiten, sondern mit den Mächten, Gewalten und Herrschern, die hier in der Finsternis ihr Wesen treiben: mit dem bösen Geisterheer haben wir zu kämpfen um die Himmelsgüter. (aiōn g165)
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
Unserem Gott und Vater sei Ehre in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
[We did not know this message previously; that is, God] concealed it from [the people who lived in all] the previous ages, but he has now revealed it to his people. (aiōn g165)
Dies Wort ist ein Geheimnis, das früheren Zeiten und Geschlechtern verborgen war. Jetzt aber ist's für Gottes Heilige ans Licht getreten. (aiōn g165)
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
Ihr Lohn wird ewiges Verderben sein: sie werden verstoßen von des Herrn Angesicht und von der Herrlichkeit, die er durch seine Macht bereitet hat. (aiōnios g166)
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios g166)
Er aber, unser Herr Jesus Christus, und Gott, unser Vater, der uns geliebt und uns in seiner Gnade ewigen Trost und sichere Hoffnung gegeben hat, (aiōnios g166)
Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Aber gerade deshalb ist mir Erbarmen widerfahren, weil Christus Jesus an mir, dem größten Sünder, den ganzen Reichtum seiner Langmut offenbaren und ein Beispiel davon geben wollte, was für Menschen durch den Glauben an ihn zum ewigen Leben kommen sollen. (aiōnios g166)
I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Ihm aber, dem König des Weltalls, dem unvergänglichen, unsichtbaren, alleinigen Gott, sei Ehre und Preis in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
Kämpfe den herrlichen Kampf des Glaubens, erringe das ewige Leben als Siegespreis! Dazu bist du berufen und hast in Gegenwart vieler Zeugen das herrliche Bekenntnis (deines Glaubens) abgelegt. (aiōnios g166)
He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
der allein Unsterblichkeit hat, der in einem unzugänglichen Licht wohnt, den kein Mensch gesehen hat noch sehen kann. Ihm sei Ehre und Gewalt in Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
Die Reichen in dieser Welt warne vor Hochmut! Sie sollen ihre Hoffnung nicht auf den unsicheren Reichtum setzen, sondern auf Gott, der uns alles, was wir nötig haben, in reicher Fülle schenkt. (aiōn g165)
[God] saved us and chose us to conduct our lives in a pure way. It was not our doing good deeds/actions [that caused him to do this for us—something] that we did not deserve. Instead, before (time began/he created the world) he purposed/planned to [be kind to us] as a result of what Christ Jesus [would do for us]. (aiōnios g166)
Er hat uns ja errettet und mit heiligem Ruf berufen — nicht wegen unserer Werke, sondern nach seinem freien Ratschluß —, um uns seine Gnade mitzuteilen. Die hat er uns in Christus Jesus schon seit ewigen Zeiten zum Besitz bestimmt. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I [willingly] endure all [that I am suffering] for the sake of those [whom God has] chosen. [I do this] in order that Christ Jesus will save them, too, and that they will be forever with [him in the] glorious [place where he is]. (aiōnios g166)
Deswegen nehme ich alles auf mich um der Auserwählten willen, damit auch sie das Heil erlangen, das man in der Gemeinschaft Christi Jesu findet: ein Heil, verbunden mit ewiger Herrlichkeit. (aiōnios g166)
[I say that] because Demas has left me. He wanted very much [the good things that he might enjoy] [MTY] in this world [right now], and so he went to Thessalonica [city]. Crescens [went to serve the Lord] in Galatia [province], and Titus went to Dalmatia [district]. (aiōn g165)
Denn Demas hat mich aus Liebe zu dem, was die jetzige Weltzeit bietet, im Stich gelassen und ist nach Thessalonich gegangen; Kreszenz ist nach Gallien gereist und Titus nach Dalmatien. (aiōn g165)
[Therefore, I am sure that] the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
Auch jetzt wird mich der Herr erretten von allen, was mir Schlimmes widerfährt, indem er mich sicher geleitet in sein himmlisches Königreich. Ihm sei ehre in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
[As a result of my doing these things, his people] confidently expect that God will cause them to live forever. God, who never lies, promised before he created the world that [his people] would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
durch die Hoffnung auf das ewige Leben, das Gott, der nicht lügen kann, schon von Ewigkeit her in seinem Ratschluß bestimmt hat. (aiōnios g166)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
Sie will uns nun dazu erziehen, dem gottlosen Wesen und den weltlichen Lüsten völlig zu entsagen, verständig, gerecht und fromm in dieser Weltzeit zu leben (aiōn g165)
He wanted to erase the record of our sins even though we did not deserve that, and he wanted us to receive all that [God desires] to give us. [These are the things that we] confidently expect to receive when we live [with him] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
So sollen wir, durch seine Gnade gerechtfertigt, Erben werden des ewigen Lebens, auf das wir hoffen. (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)
Vielleicht ist er auch gerade darum für kurze Zeit von dir getrennt worden, damit du ihn auf ewig zu eigen hättest — (aiōnios g166)
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
Jetzt aber am Ende der Tage hat er zu uns geredet durch den Sohn. Den hat er zum Erben aller Dinge bestimmt, durch den hat er auch die Welt erschaffen. (aiōn g165)
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
Von dem Sohn aber (steht geschrieben): Dein Thron, o Gott, steht fest in alle Ewigkeit; und: Der Geradheit Zepter ist das Zepter deiner Königsmacht. (aiōn g165)
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Und an einer anderen Stelle spricht er: Du bist ein Priester in Ewigkeit nach Melchisedeks Weise. (aiōn g165)
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
Nach seiner Vollendung ist er dann für alle, die ihm gehorsam sind, der Spender ewigen Heils. (aiōnios g166)
[I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
mit der Belehrung über Taufen und Handauflegung, über Totenauferstehung und ewiges Gericht. (aiōnios g166)
They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
und das tröstliche Wort Gottes und die Kräfte der zukünftigen Welt geschmeckt haben, (aiōn g165)
Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
Dorthin ist Jesus uns zum Heil als unser Vorläufer eingegangen, als er nach Melchisedeks Weise Hoherpriester ward in Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
[We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Es wird ihm ja bezeugt: Du bist ein Priester in Ewigkeit nach Melchisedeks Weise. (aiōn g165)
However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn g165)
Er ist Priester geworden durch ein Gotteswort, das von einem Eid begleitet war. Es heißt ja: Geschworen hat der Herr, und es wird ihn nicht gereuen: Du bist ein Priester ewiglich. (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Weil er aber ewiglich am Leben bleibt, so hat er auch ein Priestertum, das auf keinen anderen übergeht. (aiōn g165)
[We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn g165)
Denn das Gesetz verordnet Menschen zu Hohenpriestern, die behaftet sind mit Schwachheit. Das Eideswort dagegen, das jünger ist als das Gesetz, (bestellt zum Hohenpriester) ihn, den Sohn, der für alle Ewigkeit vollendet ist. (aiōn g165)
[When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
Auch nicht das Blut von Böcken und Kälbern, sondern sein eigen Blut hat ihm ein für allemal den Eingang in das Allerheiligste erschlossen, nachdem er uns eine ewiggültige Erlösung erworben hat. (aiōnios g166)
[So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
wieviel mehr wird da das Blut Christi, der, erfüllt und gestärkt von dem ewigen Geist, sich Gott als makelloses Opfer dargebracht hat, unser Gewissen von den toten Werken reinigen, so daß wir fähig sind, dem lebendigen Gott zu dienen! (aiōnios g166)
[By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
So hat er eine neue Gottesstiftung eingeführt. Auf Grund seines Todes, der zur Befreiung von den unter der früheren Stiftung begangenen Übertretungen erfolgt ist, sollen alle, die dazu berufen sind, das verheißene Erbe empfangen. (aiōnios g166)
[If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
Sonst hätte er ja oftmals leiden müssen seit Grundlegung der Welt. Er ist vielmehr nur einmal, und zwar am Ende des jetzigen Weltlaufs, erschienen, um durch sein Opfer die Sünde hinwegzutun. (aiōn g165)
It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn g165)
Durch den Glauben erkennen wir, daß die Welt durch Gottes Wort entstanden ist. Aus Unsichtbarem also ist das Sichtbare hervorgegangen. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christus ist gestern, heute und in Ewigkeit derselbe! (aiōn g165)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
Gott, der Friedenspender, der Jesus, unseren Herrn, aus den Toten heraufgeführt, weil er durch sein Blut eine ewige Gottesstiftung begründet hat, und ihn nun eingesetzt zum Oberhirten seiner Schafe, (aiōnios g166)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
der vollende euch in allem Guten, damit ihr seinen Willen tut, und wirke selbst in euch, was vor ihm wohlgefällig ist durch Jesus Christus! Ihm sei Ehre in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
[Just like a fire damages a forest] [MET], when we say things that are evil, [we harm many people]. What we say [MTY] reveals that we are very evil. What we say contaminates/defiles everything that we think and do [PRS, MET]. [Just like a flame of fire easily] causes [the whole surrounding area] [MET] to burn, what we say [MTY] can cause [others] to want to do evil. It is the devil himself [MTY] who causes us to say evil things. (Geenna g1067)
Auch die Zunge ist ein Feuer. Die Zunge gibt sich her zum Schmuck der Gerechtigkeit. Sie ist's, die unseren Gliedern den ganzen Leib befleckt und sogar den Weltkreis in Flammen setzt, während sie selbst von der Hölle entzündet wird. (Geenna g1067)
[I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
Ihr seid ja nicht aus vergänglichem, sondern aus unvergänglichem Samen wiedergeboren durch Gottes lebendiges, ewig bleibendes Wort. (aiōn g165)
but God’s message endures/lasts forever. This message [that endures/lasts] is the message [about Christ] that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
das Wort des Herrn aber bleibt in Ewigkeit. Und dieses Wort ist euch verkündigt worden in der Heilsbotschaft. (aiōn g165)
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Redet jemand, so seien seine Worte wie Aussprüche Gottes! Dient jemand, der richte sein Werk aus in der Kraft, die Gott verleiht! So soll in allen Gott verherrlicht werden durch Jesus Christus. Ihm gebührt die Herrlichkeit und Macht in alle Ewigkeit. Amen. (aiōn g165)
God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios g166)
Gott aber, der Spender aller Gnade, der euch in Christi Jesu Gemeinschaft dazu berufen hat, nach einer kurzen Leidenszeit in seine ewige Herrlichkeit einzugehen, der wir euch vollbereiten, stärken, kräftigen und festgründen. (aiōnios g166)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Sein ist die Herrlichkeit und Macht in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
and [God] will very wholeheartedly welcome you into the place where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will rule [his people] forever. (aiōnios g166)
So sollt ihr dann siegreich eingehen in das ewige Königreich unseres Herrn und Retters Jesus Christus. (aiōnios g166)
God destroyed [LIT] the angels who sinned. He threw them into the worst place in hell and imprisoned them [there] in darkness in order to keep them there until he judges [and punishes them]. (Tartaroō g5020)
Selbst gegen Engel, die sich versündigt hatten, hat Gott keine Schonung geübt, sondern er hat sie in die Tiefe der Unterwelt hinabgestoßen und sie dort in der Finsternis mit Stricken binden lassen, damit sie für das Endgericht in Haft behalten werden. (Tartaroō g5020)
[Instead, live in such a manner that you] experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind [to you], and that you get to know him [better and better]. 2 Peter 3:18b [I pray/desire that Jesus Christ] will be honored both now and forever! (aiōn g165)
Wachst vielmehr in der Gnade und Erkenntnis unseres Herrn und Heilandes Jesus Christus! Ihm sei Ehre jetzt und bis auf den Tag der Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios g166)
Ja, das Leben ist erschienen, und jenes ewige Leben, das bei dem Vater war und uns offenbar geworden ist, das haben wir gesehen, das bezeugen und verkünden wir euch. (aiōnios g166)
The [godless people in] the world [MTY], along with what they desire, will disappear, but those who do what God wants [them to do] will live forever! You know that it is now the final period of this age when there are liars who deny that Jesus is God’s Chosen One. But you have the power of God’s Spirit and you know what is true and what is false. So continue to live according to the true message that you heard when you began to believe in Christ, in order that you may continue to live united both to God’s Son and to the Father. (aiōn g165)
Und die Welt fährt dahin mit ihrer Lust; wer aber den Willen Gottes tut, der bleibt in Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
Und dies hat er selbst uns verheißen: das ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
Those who hate [any of] their fellow believers, [God considers] [MET] them [to be] murderers. And you know that no murderer has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Wer seinen Bruder haßt, der ist ein Mörder; und ihr wißt: in einem Mörder wohnt nicht das ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
This is what [God] says [to us]: “I have given you eternal life!” We will live forever if we have a close relationship with his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Und dies ist der Inhalt des Zeugnisses: "Gott hat uns das ewige Leben gegeben, und dieses Leben ist zu finden in der Gemeinschaft mit seinem Sohn." (aiōnios g166)
I have written this [letter] to you who believe that Jesus is [MTY] (God’s Son/the one who is also God) in order that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Dies schreibe ich euch, damit ihr wißt, daß ihr ewiges Leben habt: denn ihr glaubt ja an den Namen des Sohnes Gottes. (aiōnios g166)
We also know that (God’s Son/the one who is also God) has come [to us], and [we know] that he has enabled us to know God, the one who is really/truly God. So now we have a close relationship with [God because] we belong to Jesus Christ, the one who is the (Son of/man who is also) God. Jesus Christ is truly God, and [he is the one who enables us to have] eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Wir wissen aber: der Sohn Gottes ist gekommen und hat uns Verständnis gegeben, den Wahrhaftigen zu erkennen. Und wir stehen in Gemeinschaft mit dem Wahrhaftigen, weil wir in Gemeinschaft sind mit seinem Sohn Jesus Christus. Dieser ist der wahrhaftige Gott und das ewige Leben. (aiōnios g166)
All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
ich liebe euch um der Wahrheit willen, die in uns wohnt, und die bei uns bleiben wird in Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
And there were [many] angels to [whom God assigned/gave positions of authority in heaven]. But many did not continue to rule with authority [in those positions]. Instead, they abandoned the place that [God] gave them to live [in heaven]. So God has put those angels in chains forever in the darkness [in hell. They will stay there] until the great day when [God] will judge [and punish] them. (aïdios g126, questioned)
Auch gewisse Engel, die ihre Herrscherstellung nicht behauptet, sondern die ihnen zugewiesene Wohnung verlassen haben, verwahrt er in der Finsternis, wo sie mit ewigen Ketten gebunden sind, für das Gericht des großen Tages. (aïdios g126)
Similarly, the people who lived [MTY] in Sodom and Gomorrah [cities] and the nearby cities committed sexual immorality. They sought all kinds of sexual relations that differ [from what God permits. So God destroyed their cities. What happened to those people and those angels] shows that [God will] punish [people, such as the ones who teach false doctrine], in the eternal fire [of hell]. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
Ebenso stehen uns Sodom und Gomorra mit ihren Nachbarstädten, die ähnlich wie die eben erwähnten Engel Unzucht getrieben haben und anderem Fleisch nachgegangen sind, als warnendes Beispiel vor Augen: sie leiden das Strafgericht eines ewigen Feuers. (aiōnios g166)
They are [restless] [MET], [like] the pounding waves of the ocean. [Just like] waves [produce foul-smelling] foam on the shore, [those teachers of false doctrine do] shameful [MTY] [deeds. We cannot depend/rely on them to show us how to conduct our lives] [MET], [just like we cannot depend/rely on] (meteors/falling stars) [to show us the way when we travel]. [God] has reserved intense darkness for them forever [in hell]. (aiōn g165, questioned)
Wilde Meereswogen sind sie, die ihre eigene Schande ausschäumen. Irrsternen gleichen sie: die Dunkelheit der Finsternis erwartet sie auf ewig. (aiōn g165)
Keep conducting your lives in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will [act] mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until [the time when we begin] living eternally [with him]. (aiōnios g166)
Bleibt dadurch fest in Gottes Liebe und wartet auf die Barmherzigkeit unseres Herrn Jesus Christus, die euch zum ewigen Leben führen wird! (aiōnios g166)
He is the only true God. He has saved us as a result of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for us]. God was glorious and great and mighty and he [ruled] with great authority before time began. [He is still like that], and [he will remain like that] forever! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
ihm, dem alleinigen Gott, der uns errettet durch Jesus Christus, unseren Herrn, gebührt Herrlichkeit und Hoheit, Macht und Gewalt vor aller Zeit, jetzt und in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
He is [the one who] has caused us to become people whose lives God rules, and he has made us to be priests [who serve] God his Father. [As a result of this, we acknowledge that] Jesus Christ is eternally divine and eternally powerful. (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Ihm, der uns geliebt und uns von unseren Sünden durch sein Blut erlöst und uns zu einem Königtum, zu Priestern für seinen Gott und Vater gemacht hat; ihm gebührt die Herrlichkeit und Macht in alle Ewigkeit! Amen. (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
Und sooft die Lebewesen Preis, Ehre und Dank darbringen dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, der da lebt in alle Ewigkeit, (aiōn g165)
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn g165)
fallen die vierundzwanzig Ältesten nieder vor dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, und beten ihn an, der da lebt in alle Ewigkeit. Sie legen ihre Kronen nieder vor dem Thron und sprechen: (aiōn g165)
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Und alle Geschöpfe im Himmel, auf Erden, unter der Erde und auf dem Meer, ja alles, was darinnen ist, hörte ich sagen: / "Dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, und dem Lamm, gebühren Lob und Ehre, Herrlichkeit und Kraft in alle Ewigkeit!" (aiōn g165)
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
Da sah ich: es erschien ein fahles Roß. Sein Reiter trug den Namen "Tod", und die "Unterwelt" folgte ihm auf dem Fuß. Und sie empfingen Macht über den vierten Teil der Erde, (die Menschen) zu töten durch Schwert, Hunger und Pest und durch die wilden Tiere der Erde. (Hadēs g86)
They said, “May it be so! [We(exc)] praise, thank, and honor [you], our [(exc)] God, forever! [We(exc) acknowledge] that you are completely wise, the powerful one, who is forever able to accomplish everything he wants to. (May everyone acknowlege that it is so!/Amen!)” (aiōn g165)
und sprachen: / "Ja, so ist's. Lob, Herrlichkeit und Weisheit, Dank und Ehre, Macht und Stärke gebühren unserem Gott in alle Ewigkeit. Amen." (aiōn g165)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
Nun stieß der fünfte Engel in die Posaune. Da sah ich einen Stern, der war vom Himmel her gefallen auf die Erde, und er empfing den Schlüssel zu dem Brunnen des Abgrunds. (Abyssos g12)
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
Er tat des Abgrunds Brunnen auf. Da stieg ein Rauch empor aus diesem Brunnen wie eines großen Ofens Rauch, und es wurden die Sonne und die Luft verfinstert von dem Rauch des Brunnens. (Abyssos g12)
The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
Als König hatten sie über sich den Engel des Abgrunds; der heißt auf hebräisch Abaddón, und auf griechisch heißt er Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn g165)
und schwur bei dem, der lebt in alle Ewigkeit, der den Himmel und was darin ist, die Erde und was darauf ist und das Meer und was darin ist geschaffen hat: "Es soll jetzt kein Verzug mehr sein! (aiōn g165)
When they have finished proclaiming [to people the message from God], the beast that comes up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit) will attack them, overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
Wenn sie aber ihr Zeugnis vollendet haben, dann wird das Tier, das aus dem Abgrund steigt, mit ihnen kämpfen, er wird sie überwinden und töten. (Abyssos g12)
Then the seventh angel blew [his trumpet]. Angels in heaven shouted loudly, “Our Lord [God] and the Messiah [whom he has appointed] can now govern [everyone in] [MTY] the world, and they will continue to rule people forever!” (aiōn g165)
Nun stieß der siebente Engel in die Posaune. Da erschallten laute Stimmen im Himmel, die sprachen: / "Die Herrschaft über die Welt gehört jetzt unserem Herrn und seinem Gesalbten, und er wird König sein in alle Ewigkeit." (aiōn g165)
I saw another angel that was flying between the sky and heaven. He was bringing [God’s] eternal good message [to earth], in order that he might proclaim it to people who live on the earth. He will proclaim it to every nation, [to every] tribe, [to speakers of every] language [MTY], and [to every] people-[group]. (aiōnios g166)
Ich sah einen anderen Engel hoch oben am Himmel fliegen, der hatte den Erdbewohnern, ja allen Geschlechtern, Stämmen, Sprachen und Völkern eine seit Ewigkeit beschlossene Frohe Botschaft zu verkündigen. (aiōnios g166)
The smoke [from the fire] that torments them will rise forever. [They will] be tormented {[God will] torment them} continually, day and night. [That is what will happen to] the people who worship the beast and its image and who allow its name to be marked on them {allow [its agent] to mark them with its name}.” (aiōn g165)
Der Rauch von ihrer Qual steigt auf in Ewigkeit, und ruhelos sollen sein bei Tag und Nacht die Menschen, die das Tier anbeten und sein Bild und seines Namens Zeichen an sich nehmen. (aiōn g165)
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
Eins der vier Lebewesen reichte den sieben Engeln sieben goldene Schalen, voll des Zornes Gottes, der da lebt in alle Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)
The beast that you saw [lived] previously. Eventually God will destroy him, but now he is dead. He is [about to] come up (from the underworld/from the deep dark pit). [When] the beast who had previously lived, and who then had died, reappears, the people who live on the earth will be amazed. [They are people whose] names were not in the book in which are written the names of people [who will] have eternal life. [The angels have been writing those names in a list] (from the beginning of the world/from the time when the world began). (Abyssos g12)
Das Tier, das du gesehen, ist schon früher dagewesen und ist jetzt nicht mehr. Doch wird es wieder aus dem Abgrund steigen, und dann geht es für immer ins Verderben. Alle Erdbewohner, deren Namen nicht seit Anbeginn der Welt im Lebensbuch geschrieben stehen, werden staunen, wenn sie das Tier erblicken. Denn es ist schon früher dagewesen, ist jetzt nicht mehr und soll doch wieder dasein. (Abyssos g12)
[The crowd] shouted a second time saying: (Hallelujah!/Praise God!) The smoke of the fire that is burning the cities will rise forever! (aiōn g165)
Sie sangen weiter: / "Halleluja! Der Rauch von ihrem Brand steigt auf in Ewigkeit." (aiōn g165)
The beast and the false prophet were captured {[He] captured the beast and the false prophet}. The false prophet is the one who had performed miracles in the beast’s presence. By doing that he had deceived the people who had accepted the beast’s mark [on their foreheads] and who worshipped its image. The beast and the false prophet were thrown {[He] threw the beast and the one who falsely said that he spoke messages that came directly from God} alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had the key to the deep dark pit, and he was carrying a large chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
Dann sah ich einen Engel aus dem Himmel niedersteigen, der hielt den Schlüssel zum Abgrund und eine große Kette in seiner Hand. (Abyssos g12)
The angel threw him into the deep dark pit. He shut [the door of the pit], locked it, and sealed it [to prevent anyone from opening it]. He did that in order that Satan might no longer deceive [the people of the] nations [MTY], until those 1,000 years are ended. After that [time], Satan must be released {[God/God’s angel] must release Satan} for a short time [in order that he can do what God has planned]. (Abyssos g12)
und warf ihn in den Abgrund. Dann verschloß er über ihm den Eingang und legte ein Siegel darauf, damit er bis zu dem Ablauf der tausend Jahre die Völker nicht mehr verführe. Nach dieser Zeit muß er (noch einmal) für eine kleine Weile losgelassen werden. (Abyssos g12)
The devil, who had deceived those people, will be thrown {[God’s angel] will throw the devil, who had deceived those people} into the lake of burning sulfur. [This is the same lake] into which both the beast and the false prophet had been [thrown] {[he] had [thrown] both the beast and the false prophet}. [As a result], they will continually suffer severely forever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
[The people whose bodies were buried in the] sea [became alive again in order to stand before God’s throne]. Everyone who had been buried on the land (OR, Every person who was waiting in the place where dead people stay) [became alive again, in order to stand before the throne]. [God] judged each one of them according to what each one had done. (Hadēs g86)
Das Meer gab die Toten zurück, die es barg; auch der Tod und die Unterwelt gaben ihre Toten heraus, und jeder ward gerichtet nach seinen Werken. (Hadēs g86)
But those who are cowardly, those who do not believe [in me], those [who do] detestable things, those who are murderers, those who sin sexually, those who commit sorcery, those who worship idols, and every liar, will [all suffer] in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. [Anyone who suffers in that lake] will be dying the second time.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)
Nacht wird dort nicht mehr sein. Man bedarf auch keiner Lampen, keines Sonnenlichtes; denn Gott der Herr wird sie mit seinem Licht bestrahlen. So herrschen sie als Könige in alle Ewigkeit. (aiōn g165)

That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
