"Obeying first YHVH (YEHOVAH)"

 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. But the angel of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 

"Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people 

all the words of this life"

And when they heard that, 

they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. 

But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,  saying, "The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within". 

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them where to this would grow. Then came one and told them, saying, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people". Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, saying, Did not we strictly command you that you should not teach in this Name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, 

"We ought to obey YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty rather than men". 

The Almighty of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew and hanged on a tree. Him has YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty has given to them that obey him.

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; and said unto them, You men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and was reduced to nothing. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.  And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: but if it be of Almighty, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against Almighty. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Act 5:17-42

Is the revenge sweet?

And to him that smite you on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that takes away your cloak, allow him that to take the coat also.

Give to every man that ask of you; and of him that takes away your goods ask them not again. 

And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise. 

For if you love them which love you, what thank have you? for sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you? for sinners also do even the same. And if you lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 

But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward will be great, and you will be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 

Be you therefore merciful, 

as your Father also is merciful.

Luke 6:27-36

Why do we call ourselves brothers?

Then spake Jesus of Nazareth to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, 

"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: 

all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, 

you will observe and do!

But do not do what they do: 

because they say, and do not. 

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 

But you be don't to be called a teacher (Rabbi): 

for one is your Master, even Christ Jesus; 

and all you are brethren. 

And call no man your father upon the earth: 

for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 

Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ Jesus. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 

And whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased! 

And he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 23:1-12

"Freely you have received, freely give".

And when Jesus of Nazareth had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, 

"Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 

And as you go, Preach, saying, 

"The kingdom of heaven is at hand". 

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: 

"Freely you have received, freely give". 

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: 

"For the workman is worthy of his meat". 

And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go thence. And when you come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Matthew 10:1-15

What are the Unequally Yoked?

Be you not Unequally Yoked together with unbelievers: 

for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 

And what communion hath light with darkness?  

And what concord hath Christ Jesus with Belial? or 

What part hath he that believe with an unbeliever? 

And what agreement hath the temple of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) with idols? 

for you are the temple of the living Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH); as Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) has said,

"I will dwell in them, and walk in them; 

and I will be their ALMIGHTY, 

and they shall be my people".

Therefore go out from among them, and separate (yourselves from they), says the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), and don't touch the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and I will be to you Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH).

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

"Awareness = Conscience"

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 

They profess that they know Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH); but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 1:15-16

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 

The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as become holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) be not blasphemed. 

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10 not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) our Savior in all things.

For the Grace of YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty that bringer salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the Great YHVH (YEHOVAH) and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Titus 2

How I can live in the salvation that Jesus of Nazareth gives me?

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? 

And then will I profess unto them, 

I never knew you: 

depart from me, you that work evil (iniquity).

Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 

And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And it came to pass, 

when Jesus of Nazareth had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew 7:21-29

When temptation = Proof => a useful servant!

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  but as he which hath called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy. 

And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judged according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: "Since as you know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ Jesus, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). 

Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), which lives and abide for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and the flower thereof falls away: 

"But the word of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) endures forever. 

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you".

1 Peter 1:13-25
