Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Il giorno ch’ei discese nel soggiorno de’ morti, io feci fare cordoglio; a motivo di lui velai l’abisso, ne arrestai i fiumi, e le grandi acque furon fermate; a motivo di lui abbrunai il Libano, e tutti gli alberi de’ campi vennero meno a motivo di lui.

I caused the people of other nations to tremble when they heard that tree fall to the ground. [They realized] that it would decay, like all people who die and are buried decay.

They were comforted when [the king represented by] [MET] that cedar tree was there with them in the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Al rumore della sua caduta fece tremare le nazioni, quando lo feci scendere nel soggiorno de’ morti con quelli che scendono nella fossa; e nelle profondità della terra si consolarono tutti gli alberi di Eden, i più scelti e i più belli del Libano, tutti quelli che si dissetavano alle acque.

I più forti fra i prodi e quelli che gli davan soccorso gli rivolgeranno la parola, di mezzo al soggiorno de’ morti. Sono scesi, gl’incirconcisi; giacciono uccisi dalla spada. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves.

Non giacciono coi prodi che sono caduti fra gli incirconcisi, che sono scesi nel soggiorno de’ morti con le loro armi da guerra, e sotto il capo de’ quali sono state poste le loro spade; ma le loro iniquità stanno sulle loro ossa, perché erano il terrore de’ prodi sulla terra de’ viventi. (Sheol h7585)

The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol h7585)
E poi, il vino è perfido; l’uomo arrogante non può starsene tranquillo; egli allarga le sue brame come il soggiorno de’ morti; è come la morte e non si può saziare, ma raduna presso di sé tutte le nazioni, raccoglie intorno a sé tutti i popoli. (Sheol h7585)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you.

If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)

E non temete coloro che uccidono il corpo, ma non possono uccider l’anima; temete piuttosto colui che può far perire e l’anima e il corpo nella geenna. (Geenna g1067)

(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, 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)

[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)
E quegli che ha ricevuto la semenza fra le spine, è colui che ode la Parola; poi le cure mondane e l’inganno delle ricchezze affogano la Parola; e così riesce infruttuosa. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
il nemico che le ha seminate, è il diavolo; la mietitura è la fine dell’età presente; i mietitori sono gli angeli. (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)
Come dunque si raccolgono le zizzanie e si bruciano col fuoco, così avverrà alla fine dell’età presente. (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)
Così avverrà alla fine dell’età presente. Verranno gli angeli, toglieranno i malvagi di mezzo ai giusti, (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)
E io altresì ti dico: Tu sei Pietro, e su questa pietra edificherò la mia Chiesa, e le porte dell’Ades non la potranno vincere. (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)
Ora, se la tua mano od il tuo piede t’è occasion di peccato, mozzali e gettali via da te; meglio è per te l’entrar nella vita monco o zoppo che l’aver due mani o due piedi ed esser gettato nel fuoco eterno. (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]! 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 have only one eye. 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)
E se l’occhio tuo t’è occasion di peccato, cavalo e gettalo via da te; meglio è per te l’entrar nella vita con un occhio solo, che l’aver due occhi ed esser gettato nella geenna del fuoco. (Geenna g1067)
[As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Ed ecco un tale, che gli s’accostò e gli disse: Maestro, che farò io di buono per aver la vita eterna? (aiōnios g166)
[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]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
E chiunque avrà lasciato case, o fratelli, o sorelle, o padre, o madre, o figliuoli, o campi per amor del mio nome, ne riceverà cento volte tanti, ed erederà la vita eterna. (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. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
E vedendo un fico sulla strada, gli si accostò, ma non vi trovò altro che delle foglie; e gli disse: Mai più in eterno non nasca frutto da te. E subito il fico si seccò. (aiōn g165)
“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. For instance, you travel across seas and lands [to distant places] in order to do that. 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)
Guai a voi, scribi e Farisei ipocriti, perché scorrete mare e terra per fare un proselito; e fatto che sia, lo rendete figliuol della geenna il doppio di voi. (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)
Serpenti, razza di vipere, come scamperete al giudizio della geenna? (Geenna g1067)
[Later], as Jesus was sitting alone on [the slope of] Olive [Tree] Hill, [we] disciples went to him and asked him, “When will this happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Also, tell us what will happen to indicate that you are about to] come again, and [to indicate] that this world is ending?” (aiōn g165)
E stando egli seduto sul monte degli Ulivi, i discepoli gli s’accostarono in disparte, dicendo: Dicci: Quando avverranno queste cose, e quale sarà il segno della tua venuta e della fine dell’età presente? (aiōn g165)
Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
Allora dirà anche a coloro della sinistra: Andate via da me, maledetti, nel fuoco eterno, preparato pel diavolo e per i suoi angeli! (aiōnios g166)
Then those people [on my left] will go away to the place where [they] will be punished {[God] will punish them} eternally, but the righteous people will go to where they will live forever [with God].” (aiōnios g166)
E questi se ne andranno a punizione eterna; ma i giusti a vita eterna. (aiōnios g166)
Teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember that [by the Spirit] I will be with you always, until the end of [this] age.” (aiōn g165)
insegnando loro d’osservar tutte quante le cose che v’ho comandate. Ed ecco, io sono con voi tutti i giorni, sino alla fine dell’età presente. (aiōn g165)
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)
poi le cure mondane e l’inganno delle ricchezze e le cupidigie delle altre cose, penetrati in loro, affogano la Parola, e così riesce infruttuosa. (aiōn g165)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! 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)
E se la tua mano ti fa intoppare, mozzala; meglio è per te entrar monco nella vita, che aver due mani e andartene nella geenna, nel fuoco inestinguibile. (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)
E se il tuo piede ti fa intoppare, mozzalo; meglio è per te entrar zoppo nella vita, che aver due occhi piedi ed esser gittato nella geenna. (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)
E se l’occhio tuo ti fa intoppare, cavalo; meglio è per te entrar con un occhio solo nel regno di Dio, che aver due occhi ed esser gittato nella geenna, (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)
Or com’egli usciva per mettersi in cammino, un tale accorse e inginocchiatosi davanti a lui, gli domandò: Maestro buono, che farò io per ereditare la vita eterna? (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)
E Gesù prese a dire al fico: Niuno mangi mai più in perpetuo frutto da te! E i suoi discepoli udirono. (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)
ed egli regnerà sulla casa di Giacobbe in eterno, e il suo regno non avrà mai fine. (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)
di cui avea parlato ai nostri padri, verso Abramo e verso la sua progenie in perpetuo”. (aiōn g165)
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
(come avea promesso ab antico per bocca de’ suoi profeti); (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)
Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro d’andar nell’abisso. (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)
E tu, o Capernaum, sarai tu forse innalzata fino al cielo? No, tu sarai abbassata fino nell’Ades! (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)
Ed ecco, un certo dottor della legge si levò per metterlo alla prova, e gli disse: Maestro, che dovrò fare per eredar la vita eterna? (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)
ma io vi mostrerò chi dovete temere: Temete colui che, dopo aver ucciso, ha potestà di gettar nella geenna. Sì, vi dico, temete Lui. (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)
E il padrone lodò il fattore infedele perché aveva operato con avvedutezza; poiché i figliuoli di questo secolo, nelle relazioni con que’ della loro generazione, sono più accorti dei figliuoli della luce. (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)
Ed io vi dico: Fatevi degli amici con le ricchezze ingiuste; affinché, quand’esse verranno meno, quelli vi ricevano ne’ tabernacoli eterni. (aiōnios g166)

E nell’Ades, essendo ne’ tormenti, alzò gli occhi e vide da lontano Abramo, e Lazzaro nel suo seno; (Hadēs g86)
A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
E uno dei principali lo interrogò, dicendo: Maestro buono, che farò io per ereditare la vita eterna? (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)
E Gesù disse loro: I figliuoli di questo secolo sposano e sono sposati; (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
ma quelli che saranno reputati degni d’aver parte al secolo avvenire e alla risurrezione dai morti, non sposano e non sono sposati, (aiōn g165)
As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.” (aiōnios g166)
affinché chiunque crede in lui abbia vita eterna. (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)
Poiché Iddio ha tanto amato il mondo, che ha dato il suo unigenito Figliuolo, affinché chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna. (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)
Chi crede nel Figliuolo ha vita eterna; ma chi rifiuta di credere al Figliuolo non vedrà la vita, ma l’ira di Dio resta sopra lui. (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)
Il mietitore riceve premio e raccoglie frutto per la vita eterna, affinché il seminatore ed il mietitore si rallegrino assieme. (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)
In verità, in verità io vi dico: Chi ascolta la mia parola e crede a Colui che mi ha mandato, ha vita eterna; e non viene in giudizio, ma è passato dalla morte alla vita. (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)
Voi investigate le Scritture, perché pensate aver per mezzo d’esse vita eterna, ed esse son quelle che rendon testimonianza di me; (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)
Adopratevi non per il cibo che perisce, ma per il cibo che dura in vita eterna, il quale il Figliuol dell’uomo vi darà; poiché su lui il Padre, cioè Dio, ha apposto il proprio suggello. (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)

Listen to this carefully: Everyone who believes ([my message/in me]) has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
In verità, in verità io vi dico: Chi crede ha vita eterna. (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)

Chi mangia la mia carne e beve il mio sangue ha vita eterna; e io lo risusciterò nell’ultimo giorno. (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)
Questo è il pane che è disceso dal cielo; non qual era quello che i padri mangiarono e morirono; chi mangia di questo pane vivrà in eterno. (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 Pietro gli rispose: Signore, a chi ce ne andremmo noi? Tu hai parole di vita eterna; (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)
Or lo schiavo non dimora per sempre nella casa: il figliuolo vi dimora per sempre. (aiōn g165)
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
In verità, in verità vi dico che se uno osserva la mia parola, non vedrà mai la morte. (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)
I Giudei gli dissero: Or vediam bene che tu hai un demonio. Abramo e i profeti son morti, e tu dici: Se uno osserva la mia parola, non gusterà mai la morte. (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)

e chiunque vive e crede in me, non morrà mai. Credi tu questo? (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)
Chi ama la sua vita, la perde; e chi odia la sua vita in questo mondo, la conserverà in vita eterna. (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)
La moltitudine quindi gli rispose: Noi abbiamo udito dalla legge che il Cristo dimora in eterno: come dunque dici tu che bisogna che il Figliuolo dell’uomo sia innalzato? Chi è questo Figliuol dell’uomo? (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)
ed io so che il suo comandamento è vita eterna. Le cose dunque che dico, così le dico, come il Padre me le ha dette. (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)
Pietro gli disse: Tu non mi laverai mai i piedi! Gesù gli rispose: Se non ti lavo, non hai meco parte alcuna. (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)
E io pregherò il Padre, ed Egli vi darà un altro Consolatore, perché stia con voi in perpetuo, (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)
poiché gli hai data potestà sopra ogni carne, onde egli dia vita eterna a tutti quelli che tu gli hai dato. (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)
E questa è la vita eterna: che conoscano te, il solo vero Dio, e colui che tu hai mandato, Gesù Cristo. (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)
poiché tu non lascerai l’anima mia nell’Ades, e non permetterai che il tuo Santo vegga la corruzione. (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)
antivedendola, parlò della risurrezione di Cristo, dicendo che non sarebbe stato lasciato nell’Ades, e che la sua carne non avrebbe veduto la corruzione. (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)
cioè Gesù, che il cielo deve tenere accolto fino ai tempi della restaurazione di tutte le cose; tempi dei quali Iddio parlò per bocca dei suoi santi profeti che sono stati fin dal principio. (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)
Ma Paolo e Barnaba dissero loro francamente: Era necessario che a voi per i primi si annunziasse la parola di Dio; ma poiché la respingete e non vi giudicate degni della vita eterna, ecco, noi ci volgiamo ai Gentili. (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)
E i Gentili, udendo queste cose, si rallegravano e glorificavano la parola di Dio; e tutti quelli che erano ordinati a vita eterna, credettero. (aiōnios g166)
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
cerchino il Signore, dice il Signore che fa queste cose, le quali a lui son note ab eterno. (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)
poiché le perfezioni invisibili di lui, la sua eterna potenza e divinità, si vedon chiaramente sin dalla creazione del mondo, essendo intese per mezzo delle opere sue; (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)
essi, che hanno mutato la verità di Dio in menzogna, e hanno adorato e servito la creatura invece del Creatore, che è benedetto in eterno. 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)
vita eterna a quelli che con la perseveranza nel bene oprare cercano gloria e onore e immortalità; (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)
affinché, come il peccato regnò nella morte, così anche la grazia regni, mediante la giustizia, a vita eterna, per mezzo di Gesù Cristo, nostro Signore. (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)
Ma ora, essendo stati affrancati dal peccato e fatti servi a Dio, voi avete per frutto la vostra santificazione, e per fine la vita eterna: (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)
poiché il salario del peccato è la morte; ma il dono di Dio è la vita eterna in Cristo Gesù, nostro Signore. (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)
dei quali sono i padri, e dai quali è venuto, secondo la carne, il Cristo, che è sopra tutte le cose Dio benedetto in eterno. 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)
Chi scenderà nell’abisso? (questo è un far risalire Cristo d’infra i morti). (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)
Poiché Dio ha rinchiuso tutti nella disubbidienza per far misericordia a tutti. (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)
Poiché da lui, per mezzo di lui e per lui son tutte le cose. A lui sia la gloria in eterno. 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)
E non vi conformate a questo secolo, ma siate trasformati mediante il rinnovamento della vostra mente, affinché conosciate per esperienza qual sia la volontà di Dio, la buona, accettevole e perfetta volontà. (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)
Or a Colui che vi può fortificare secondo il mio Evangelo e la predicazione di Gesù Cristo, conformemente alla rivelazione del mistero che fu tenuto occulto fin dai tempi più remoti (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)
ma è ora manifestato, e, mediante le Scritture profetiche, secondo l’ordine dell’eterno Iddio, è fatto conoscere a tutte le nazioni per addurle all’ubbidienza della fede, (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)
a Dio solo savio, per mezzo di Gesù Cristo, sia la gloria nei secoli dei secoli. 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)
Dov’è il savio? Dov’è lo scriba? Dov’è il disputatore di questo secolo? Iddio non ha egli resa pazza la sapienza di questo mondo? (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)
Nondimeno fra quelli che son maturi noi esponiamo una sapienza, una sapienza però non di questo secolo né de’ principi di questo secolo che stan per essere annientati, (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)
ma esponiamo la sapienza di Dio misteriosa ed occulta che Dio avea innanzi i secoli predestinata a nostra gloria, (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)
e che nessuno de’ principi di questo mondo ha conosciuta; perché, se l’avessero conosciuta, non avrebbero crocifisso il Signore della gloria. (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)
Nessuno s’inganni. Se qualcuno fra voi s’immagina d’esser savio in questo secolo, diventi pazzo affinché diventi savio; (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)
Perciò, se un cibo scandalizza il mio fratello, io non mangerò mai più carne, per non scandalizzare il mio fratello. (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)
Or queste cose avvennero loro per servire d’esempio, e sono state scritte per ammonizione di noi, che ci troviamo agli ultimi termini dei tempi. (aiōn g165)
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us. (Hadēs g86)
O morte, dov’è la tua vittoria? O morte, dov’è il tuo dardo? (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)
per gl’increduli, dei quali l’iddio di questo secolo ha accecato le menti, affinché la luce dell’evangelo della gloria di Cristo, che è l’immagine di Dio, non risplenda loro. (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)
Perché la nostra momentanea, leggera afflizione ci produce un sempre più grande, smisurato peso eterno di gloria, (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)
mentre abbiamo lo sguardo intento non alle cose che si vedono, ma a quelle che non si vedono; poiché le cose che si vedono son solo per un tempo, ma quelle che non si vedono sono eterne. (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)
Noi sappiamo infatti che se questa tenda ch’è la nostra dimora terrena viene disfatta, noi abbiamo da Dio un edificio, una casa non fatta da mano d’uomo, eterna nei cieli. (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)
siccome è scritto: Egli ha sparso, egli ha dato ai poveri, la sua giustizia dimora in eterno. (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)
L’Iddio e Padre del nostro Signor Gesù che è benedetto in eterno, sa ch’io non mento. (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)
che ha dato se stesso per i nostri peccati affin di strapparci al presente secolo malvagio, secondo la volontà del nostro Dio e Padre, (aiōn g165)
[I pray that people will] praise God forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
al quale sia la gloria né secoli dei secoli. 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)
Perché chi semina per la propria carne, mieterà dalla carne corruzione; ma chi semina per lo Spirito, mieterà dallo Spirito vita eterna. (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)
al di sopra di ogni principato e autorità e potestà e signoria, e d’ogni altro nome che si nomina non solo in questo mondo, ma anche in quello a venire. (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)
ai quali un tempo vi abbandonaste seguendo l’andazzo di questo mondo, seguendo il principe della potestà dell’aria, di quello spirito che opera al presente negli uomini ribelli; (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)
per mostrare nelle età a venire l’immensa ricchezza della sua grazia, nella benignità ch’Egli ha avuta per noi in Cristo Gesù. (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)
e di manifestare a tutti quale sia il piano seguito da Dio riguardo al mistero che è stato fin dalle più remote età nascosto in Dio, il creatore di tutte le cose, (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
conforme al proponimento eterno ch’Egli ha mandato ad effetto nel nostro Signore, Cristo Gesù; (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)
a Lui sia la gloria nella Chiesa e in Cristo Gesù, per tutte le età, ne’ secoli de’ secoli. 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)
poiché il combattimento nostro non è contro sangue e carne, ma contro i principati, contro le potestà, contro i dominatori di questo mondo di tenebre, contro le forze spirituali della malvagità, che sono ne’ luoghi celesti. (aiōn g165)
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
Or all’Iddio e Padre nostro sia la gloria nei secoli dei secoli. 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)
cioè, il mistero, che è stato occulto da tutti i secoli e da tutte le generazioni, ma che ora è stato manifestato ai santi di lui; (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)
I quali saranno puniti di eterna distruzione, respinti dalla presenza del Signore e dalla gloria della sua potenza, (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)
Or lo stesso Signor nostro Gesù Cristo e Iddio nostro Padre che ci ha amati e ci ha dato per la sua grazia una consolazione eterna e una buona speranza, (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)
Ma per questo mi è stata fatta misericordia, affinché Gesù Cristo dimostrasse in me per il primo tutta la sua longanimità, ed io servissi d’esempio a quelli che per l’avvenire crederebbero in lui per aver la vita eterna. (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)
Or al re dei secoli, immortale, invisibile, solo Dio, siano onore e gloria ne’ secoli de’ secoli. 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)
Combatti il buon combattimento della fede, afferra la vita eterna alla quale sei stato chiamato e in vista della quale facesti quella bella confessione in presenza di molti testimoni. (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)
il quale solo possiede l’immortalità ed abita una luce inaccessibile; il quale nessun uomo ha veduto né può vedere; al quale siano onore e potenza eterna. 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)
A quelli che son ricchi in questo mondo ordina che non siano d’animo altero, che non ripongano la loro speranza nell’incertezza delle ricchezze, ma in Dio, il quale ci somministra copiosamente ogni cosa perché ne godiamo; (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)
il quale ci ha salvati e ci ha rivolto una sua santa chiamata, non secondo le nostre opere, ma secondo il proprio proponimento e la grazia che ci è stata fatta in Cristo Gesù avanti i secoli, (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)
Perciò io sopporto ogni cosa per amor degli eletti, affinché anch’essi conseguano la salvezza che è in Cristo Gesù con gloria eterna. (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)
poiché Dema, avendo amato il presente secolo, mi ha lasciato e se n’è andato a Tessalonica. Crescente è andato in Galazia, Tito in Dalmazia. Luca solo è meco. (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)
Il Signore mi libererà da ogni mala azione e mi salverà nel suo regno celeste. A lui sia la gloria ne’ secoli dei secoli. 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)
nella speranza della vita eterna la quale Iddio, che non può mentire, promise avanti i secoli, (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)
e ci ammaestra a rinunziare all’empietà e alle mondane concupiscenze, per vivere in questo mondo temperatamente, giustamente e piamente, (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)
affinché, giustificati per la sua grazia, noi fossimo fatti eredi secondo la speranza della vita eterna. (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)
Infatti, per questo, forse, egli è stato per breve tempo separato da te, perché tu lo recuperassi per sempre; (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)
in questi ultimi giorni ha parlato a noi mediante il suo Figliuolo, ch’Egli ha costituito erede di tutte le cose, mediante il quale pure ha creato i mondi; (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)
dice del Figliuolo: Il tuo trono, o Dio, è ne’ secoli dei secoli, e lo scettro di rettitudine è lo scettro del tuo regno. (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)
come anche in altro luogo Egli dice: Tu sei sacerdote in eterno secondo l’ordine di Melchisedec. (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)
ed essendo stato reso perfetto, divenne per tutti quelli che gli ubbidiscono, (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)
della dottrina dei battesimi e della imposizione delle mani, della risurrezione de’ morti e del giudizio eterno. (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)
e hanno gustato la buona parola di Dio e le potenze del mondo a venire, (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)
dove Gesù è entrato per noi qual precursore, essendo divenuto Sommo Sacerdote in eterno, secondo l’ordine di Melchisedec. (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)
poiché gli è resa questa testimonianza: Tu sei sacerdote in eterno secondo l’ordine di Melchisedec. (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)
ma egli lo è con giuramento, per opera di Colui che ha detto: Il Signore l’ha giurato e non si pentirà: tu sei sacerdote in eterno), (aiōn g165)
But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
ma questi, perché dimora in eterno, ha un sacerdozio che non si trasmette; (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)
La legge infatti costituisce sommi sacerdoti uomini soggetti a infermità; ma la parola del giuramento fatto dopo la legge costituisce il Figliuolo, che è stato reso perfetto per sempre. (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)
e non mediante il sangue di becchi e di vitelli, ma mediante il proprio sangue, è entrato una volta per sempre nel santuario, avendo acquistata una redenzione eterna. (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)
quanto più il sangue di Cristo che mediante lo Spirito eterno ha offerto se stesso puro d’ogni colpa a Dio, purificherà la vostra coscienza dalle opere morte per servire all’Iddio vivente? (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)
Ed è per questa ragione che egli è mediatore d’un nuovo patto, affinché, avvenuta la sua morte per la redenzione delle trasgressioni commesse sotto il primo patto, i chiamati ricevano l’eterna eredità promessa. (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)
ché, in questo caso, avrebbe dovuto soffrir più volte dalla fondazione del mondo; ma ora, una volta sola, alla fine de’ secoli, è stato manifestato, per annullare il peccato col suo sacrificio. (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)
Per fede intendiamo che i mondi sono stati formati dalla parola di Dio; cosicché le cose che si vedono non sono state tratte da cose apparenti. (aiōn g165)
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
Gesù Cristo è lo stesso ieri, oggi, e in eterno. (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)
Or l’Iddio della pace che in virtù del sangue del patto eterno ha tratto dai morti il gran Pastore delle pecore, Gesù nostro Signore, (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)
vi renda compiuti in ogni bene, onde facciate la sua volontà, operando in voi quel che è gradito nel suo cospetto, per mezzo di Gesù Cristo; a Lui sia la gloria ne’ secoli dei secoli. 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)
Anche la lingua è un fuoco, è il mondo dell’iniquità. Posta com’è fra le nostre membra, contamina tutto il corpo e infiamma la ruota della vita, ed è infiammata dalla geenna. (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)
poiché siete stati rigenerati non da seme corruttibile, ma incorruttibile, mediante la parola di Dio vivente e permanente. (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)
ma la parola del Signore permane in eterno. E questa è la Parola della Buona Novella che vi è stata annunziata. (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)
Se uno parla, lo faccia come annunziando oracoli di Dio; se uno esercita un ministerio, lo faccia come con la forza che Dio fornisce, onde in ogni cosa sia glorificato Iddio per mezzo di Gesù Cristo, al quale appartengono la gloria e l’imperio nei secoli de’ secoli. 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)
Or l’Iddio d’ogni grazia, il quale vi ha chiamati alla sua eterna gloria in Cristo, dopo che avrete sofferto per breve tempo, vi perfezionerà Egli stesso, vi renderà saldi, vi fortificherà. (aiōnios g166)
[I pray/desire that] he will [rule] powerfully forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
A lui sia l’imperio, nei secoli dei secoli. 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)
poiché così vi sarà largamente provveduta l’entrata nel regno eterno del nostro Signore e Salvatore Gesù Cristo. (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)
Perché se Dio non risparmiò gli angeli che aveano peccato, ma li inabissò, confinandoli in antri tenebrosi per esservi custoditi pel giudizio; (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)
ma crescete nella grazia e nella conoscenza del nostro Signore e Salvatore Gesù Cristo. A lui sia la gloria, ora e in sempiterno. 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)
(e la vita è stata manifestata e noi l’abbiam veduta e ne rendiamo testimonianza, e vi annunziamo la vita eterna che era presso il Padre e che ci fu manifestata), (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)
E il mondo passa via con la sua concupiscenza; ma chi fa la volontà di Dio dimora in eterno. (aiōn g165)
And what God told us is that [he will cause us] to live forever! (aiōnios g166)
E questa è la promessa ch’egli ci ha fatta: cioè la vita eterna. (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)
Chiunque odia il suo fratello è omicida; e voi sapete che nessun omicida ha la vita eterna dimorante in se stesso. (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)
E la testimonianza è questa: Iddio ci ha data la vita eterna, e questa vita è nel suo Figliuolo. (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)
Io v’ho scritto queste cose affinché sappiate che avete la vita eterna, voi che credete nel nome del Figliuol di Dio. (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)
ma sappiamo che il Figliuol di Dio è venuto e ci ha dato intendimento per conoscere Colui che è il vero; e noi siamo in Colui che è il vero Dio, nel suo Figliuolo Gesù Cristo. Quello è il vero Dio e la vita eterna. (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)
a cagione della verità che dimora in noi e sarà con noi in eterno: (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)
e che Egli ha serbato in catene eterne, nelle tenebre, per il giudicio del gran giorno, gli angeli che non serbarono la loro dignità primiera, ma lasciarono la loro propria dimora. (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)
Nello stesso modo Sodoma e Gomorra e le città circonvicine, essendosi abbandonate alla fornicazione nella stessa maniera di costoro ed essendo andate dietro a vizi contro natura, sono poste come un esempio, portando la pena d’un fuoco eterno. (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)
furiose onde del mare, schiumanti la lor bruttura; stelle erranti, a cui è riserbata la caligine delle tenebre in eterno. (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)
conservatevi nell’amor di Dio, aspettando la misericordia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo per aver la vita eterna. (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)
all’Iddio unico, Salvator nostro per mezzo di Gesù Cristo nostro Signore, siano gloria, maestà, forza e potestà, da ogni eternità, ora e per tutti i secoli. 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)
e ci ha fatti essere un regno e sacerdoti all’Iddio e Padre suo, a lui siano la gloria e l’imperio nei secoli dei secoli. 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)
E ogni volta che le creature viventi rendon gloria e onore e grazie a Colui che siede sul trono, a Colui che vive nei secoli dei secoli, (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)
i ventiquattro anziani si prostrano davanti a Colui che siede sul trono e adorano Colui che vive ne’ secoli dei secoli e gettano le loro corone davanti al trono, dicendo: (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)
E tutte le creature che sono nel cielo e sulla terra e sotto la terra e sul mare e tutte le cose che sono in essi, le udii che dicevano: A Colui che siede sul trono e all’Agnello siano la benedizione e l’onore e la gloria e l’imperio, nei secoli dei secoli. (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)
E io vidi, ed ecco un cavallo giallastro; e colui che lo cavalcava avea nome la Morte; e gli teneva dietro l’Ades. E fu loro data potestà sopra la quarta parte della terra di uccidere con la spada, con la fame, con la mortalità e con le fiere della terra. (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)
Amen! All’Iddio nostro la benedizione e la gloria e la sapienza e le azioni di grazie e l’onore e la potenza e la forza, nei secoli dei secoli! 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)
Poi sonò il quinto angelo, e io vidi una stella caduta dal cielo sulla terra; e ad esso fu data la chiave del pozzo dell’abisso. (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)
Ed egli aprì il pozzo dell’abisso; e dal pozzo salì un fumo simile al fumo di una gran fornace; e il sole e l’aria furono oscurati dal fumo del pozzo. (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)
E aveano come re sopra di loro l’angelo dell’abisso, il cui nome in ebraico è Abaddon, e in greco Apollion. (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)
levò la man destra al cielo e giurò per Colui che vive nei secoli dei secoli, il quale ha creato il cielo e le cose che sono in esso e la terra e le cose che sono in essa e il mare e le cose che sono in esso, che non ci sarebbe più indugio; (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)
E quando avranno compiuta la loro testimonianza, la bestia che sale dall’abisso moverà loro guerra e li vincerà e li ucciderà. (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)
Ed il settimo angelo sonò, e si fecero gran voci nel cielo, che dicevano: Il regno del mondo è venuto ad essere del Signor nostro e del suo Cristo; ed egli regnerà ne’ secoli dei secoli. (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)
Poi vidi un altro angelo che volava in mezzo al cielo, recante l’evangelo eterno per annunziarlo a quelli che abitano sulla terra, e ad ogni nazione e tribù e lingua e popolo; (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)
E il fumo del loro tormento sale ne’ secoli dei secoli; e non hanno requie né giorno né notte quelli che adorano la bestia e la sua immagine e chiunque prende il marchio del suo nome. (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)
E una delle quattro creature viventi diede ai sette angeli sette coppe d’oro piene dell’ira di Dio, il quale vive nei secoli dei secoli. (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)
La bestia che hai veduta era, e non è, e deve salire dall’abisso e andare in perdizione. E quelli che abitano sulla terra i cui nomi non sono stati scritti nel libro della vita fin dalla fondazione del mondo, si maraviglieranno vedendo che la bestia era, e non è, e verrà di nuovo. (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)
E dissero una seconda volta: Alleluia! Il suo fumo sale per i secoli dei secoli. (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)
E la bestia fu presa, e con lei fu preso il falso profeta che avea fatto i miracoli davanti a lei, coi quali aveva sedotto quelli che aveano preso il marchio della bestia e quelli che adoravano la sua immagine. Ambedue furon gettati vivi nello stagno ardente di fuoco e di zolfo. (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)
Poi vidi un angelo che scendeva dal cielo e avea la chiave dell’abisso e una gran catena in mano. (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)
lo gettò nell’abisso che chiuse e suggellò sopra di lui onde non seducesse più le nazioni finché fossero compiti i mille anni; dopo di che egli ha da essere sciolto per un po’ di tempo. (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)
E il mare rese i morti ch’erano in esso; e la morte e l’Ades resero i loro morti, ed essi furon giudicati, ciascuno secondo le sue opere. (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)
E non ci sarà più notte; ed essi non avranno bisogno di luce di lampada, né di luce di sole, perché li illuminerà il Signore Iddio, ed essi regneranno nei secoli dei secoli. (aiōn g165)
Questioned verse translations do not contain Aionian Glossary words, but may wrongly imply eternal or Hell

“As for me, I [am not very important, because] I baptize you [only] with water. I [baptize you] because of your feeling sorry that you have sinned. But someone else will come soon who is very great; [he will do powerful deeds] (OR, [act powerfully]). [Because he is] superior to me, I am not worthy [even to do a menial task for him, such as] to carry his sandals. He will put [his] Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change] the way you live [MET], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [in hell]. (questioned)
“[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. 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)
[And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them].

“You [people who live in] Chorazin [city] [MTY] and you [people who live in] Bethsaida [city] [MTY] will suffer terribly in hell! [I] did great miracles in your [cities, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in [the ancient cities of] Tyre and Sidon, the [wicked people who lived there] long ago would have sat in ashes, wearing coarse cloth [to show that they were sorry for their sins]. (questioned)
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” (questioned)
John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do!

If [the things that we have taught] are not valuable and long-lasting [MET], [we will not get a reward]. We will be saved {[God] will save us} [from hell], but [that is all that we will get. We will be like a man who] escapes from a fire [without saving any of his possessions]. (questioned)
And those people who died [EUP] [while they were trusting] in Christ will go to hell. (questioned)
To those who [are on the way to hell, our message is like] [MET] a foul smell [because it is about dying] and being separated from God forever. But, to those [on the way to heaven, the message that we teach is like] a pure fragrant smell, [because we tell them] that they will live [forever with God. As we think about that, we think] (no one is able [to do] such important work [for God!]/how can anyone be able [to do] such important work [for God]?) [RHQ] (questioned)

Therefore], God has reserved the darkness of hell [for those teachers of false doctrines]. (questioned)
