Eoqub, a slave of the Strong-Yoked-Guide and of the Strongest-Lifebringer Ieueshuo the Anointed, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings. Count it all joy, my male-strong-protectors, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your steadiness produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the Strong-Yoked-Guide, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. But let him ask in steadiness, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Strongest-Lifebringer. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
But let the male-strong-protector in humble circumstances esteem in his high position; and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away. For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
Knelt-down-and-given-to is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of the filled-stomach, which the Strongest-Lifebringer promised to those who care-for-the-gift-of him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by the Strong-Yoked-Guide, for the Strong-Yoked-Guide can’t be tempted by what is dysfunctional, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away under his own desire, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, brings forth a missed-target; and the missed-target, when it is full grown, brings forth an emptied-stomach. Don’t be deceived, my gift-cared male-strong-protectors. Every functional bent-knee-present and every perfect bent-knee-present is from above, coming down from the Tent-Supporter of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of firmness, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
So, then, my gift-cared male-strong-protectors, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to nose-flaring; for the nose-flaring of man doesn’t produce the straight-pathedness of the Strong-Yoked-Guide. Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to deliver your breathing-throats. But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror; for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect thrown-seed of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be knelt-down-and-given-to in what he does.
If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his inner-guide, this man’s religion is worthless. Pure religion and undefiled before our Strong-Yoked-Guide and Tent-Supporter is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

My male-strong-protectors, don’t hold the steadiness of our Strongest-Lifebringer Ieueshuo the Anointed of esteem with partiality. For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your gathering, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in; and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, Sit here in a functional place; and you tell the poor man, Stand there, or Sit by my footstool; haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with dysfunctional thoughts? Listen, my gift-cared male-strong-protectors. Did not the Strong-Yoked-Guide choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in steadiness, and heirs of the authority-to-guide-the-people which he promised to those who care-for-the-gift-of him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? However, if you fulfill the royal thrown-seed, according to the Scripture, You shall care-for-the-gift-of your neighbor as yourself, you do well. But if you show partiality, you miss-the-target, being convicted by the thrown-seed as beside-steppers. For whoever keeps the whole thrown-seed, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For he who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not commit murder. Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a beside-stepper of thrown-seed. So speak, and so do, as men who are about to be judged by a thrown-seed of freedom. For judgment is without bent-neck to him who has not bent-his-neck. Bending-The-Neck triumphs over judgment.
In what way is it functional, my male-strong-protectors, if a man says he has steadiness, but has no works? Can that steadiness deliver him? And if a male-strong-protector or female-strong-protector is naked and in lack of daily food, and one of you tells them, Go in completeness, be warmed and filled; and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, in what way is it functional? Even so steadiness, if it has no works, is stomach-emptied in itself. Yes, a man will say, You have steadiness, and I have works. Show me your steadiness without works, and I by my works will show you my steadiness.
You support that the Strong-Yoked-Guide is one. You do well. The demons also support, and shudder. But do you want to know, vain man, that steadiness apart from works is stomach-emptied? Wasn’t Abarem our tent-supporter justified by works, in that he offered up Aisachaq his male-tent-continuer on the altar? You see that steadiness worked with his works, and by works steadiness was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abarem supported the Strong-Yoked-Guide, and it was accounted to him as straight-pathedness; and he was called the friend of the Strong-Yoked-Guide. You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by steadiness. In the same way, wasn’t Rachab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the wind is stomach-emptied, even so steadiness apart from works is stomach-emptied.

Let not many of you be teachers, my male-strong-protectors, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn’t stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may listen to us, and we guide their whole body. Behold, the boats also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires. So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest! And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. For every kind of animal, flyer, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind. But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless dysfunction, full of deadly poison. With it we kneel-to-give to our Strong-Yoked-Guide and Tent-Supporter, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of the Strong-Yoked-Guide. Out of the same mouth comes forth kneeling-down-to-give and cursing. My male-strong-protectors, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my male-strong-protectors, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his functional conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your inner-guide, don’t boast and don’t lie against that which is firm. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is of the land, sensual, and demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every dysfunctional deed. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of bent-neck and functional fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of straight-pathedness is sown in completeness by those who make completeness.

Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? You lust, and don’t have. You kill, covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask. You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is enmity with the Strong-Yoked-Guide? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of the Strong-Yoked-Guide. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The wind who fills-the-stomach in us yearns jealously? But he gives more encampment. Therefore it says, The Strong-Yoked-Guide resists the proud, but gives encampment to the humble. Be subject therefore to the Strong-Yoked-Guide. But resist the slanderer, and he will flee from you. Draw near to the Strong-Yoked-Guide, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you ones who miss-the-target; and purify your inner-guides, you double-minded. Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Strongest-Lifebringer, and he will exalt you.
Don’t speak against one another, male-strong-protectors. He who speaks against a male-strong-protector and judges his male-strong-protector, speaks against thrown-seed and judges thrown-seed. But if you judge thrown-seed, you are not a doer of thrown-seed, but a judge. Only one is the giver-of-thrown-seed, who is able to deliver and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit. Whereas you don’t know what your filled-stomach will be like tomorrow. For what is your filled-stomach? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. For you ought to say, If the Strongest-Lifebringer wills, we will both fill-the-stomach, and do this or that. But now you esteem in your boasting. All such boasting is dysfunctional. To him therefore who knows to do what is functional, and doesn’t do it, to him it is a missed-target.
Eoqub 5
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you. Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Strongest-Lifebringer of Armies. You have filled-the-stomach delicately on the land, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your inner-guides as in a day of massacre. You have condemned, you have murdered the straight-pathed one. He doesn’t resist you.
Be patient therefore, male-strong-protectors, until the presence of the Strongest-Lifebringer. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the land, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain. You also be patient. Establish your inner-guides, for the presence of the Strongest-Lifebringer is at hand.
Don’t grumble, male-strong-protectors, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door. Take, male-strong-protectors, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Strongest-Lifebringer. Behold, we call them knelt-down-and-given-to who endured. You have heard of the patience of Iub, and have seen the Strongest-Lifebringer in the outcome, and how the Strongest-Lifebringer is full of compassion and mercy. But above all things, my male-strong-protectors, don’t swear, neither by the sky, nor by the land, nor by any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.
Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises. Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the called-out-assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Strongest-Lifebringer, and the prayer of steadiness will heal him who is sick, and the Strongest-Lifebringer will raise him up. If he has committed a missed-target, he will be lifted-off. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a straight-pathed person is powerfully effective. Eliyahu was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the land for three years and six months. He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the land brought forth its fruit.
House-Protectors, if any among you wanders from the steadiness, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a one who misses-the-target from the error of his way will deliver a breathing-throat from an emptied-stomach, and will cover a multitude of missed-targets.
