Father give your blessing. Brothers and Sisters: For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus. For God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of (Jesus) Christ. But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being given up to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since, then, we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we too believe and therefore speak, knowing that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and place us with you in his presence. Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of God. Praise be to God always! ا ا ورؤه ٢ر ٤: ٥-١٥ ر ا ال ا ا أه ر ورك . أ، ّ َُِْ، ّ َع اِ رّ، و ا َ ِ َأِْ ع؛ ِن اَّ اي ل : "ُِِقْ َِ اَِ ُر !"، ه اي َأََق ُِ، ِ َِ َف َْ اّ ا َوِْ ا . وّ َُِ ها اََْ ٍَِ ِ ََف، ِ أن َِ اَُرُة اَُِ ه اِِ ِّ . َُُ َ ِ ُآ ٍَِ و ، ر أ و س، و ، و َِ، وَُِ ِ ُآ ٍِ ََت ع، َََ َُة ع َأً ِ؛ ِ َُ اََء َُُ دو ا اَت، أ ع، َََ َُة ع َأً ِ ا . ت ََُ ، واَُة ََُ ُ . وَ أن َ ُروِح اِِن ، آ ه ب : "َُ، وِ َ ََْ" ، َُ َأً ُُِ، وَِِ ََ . و أَن ذ اي َأَم اب َع، ُُ َُ َأً ع، َوَُ وِإُآ . ء ه ِ َأُِْ، ََُ اَُ، اَ ب ا َِِْ ا . وا دا . The First Disciples John 1:35-42 The Apostle said: The next day John was there again with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter). This is the truth. Peace be with you! ا اون ١׃٣٥־٤٢ ل ال : : اَِ َأً آَن َ وا ه واِْن ِ َِ . ورأى ع ّرا ََق ِإ ول : "ه ه ََُ ا !". وََِ اْاِن َآَ، َِ ع . واََ َ ُع، ُه ََِ، َل َ : "ذا ن؟ " : "را، َأي ُ َأ َ ُ؟ " َ ل َ : " واُا !" َََه وَا َأ َ ُ . وَأ َِ ذ اَم، وآَ ِ اَُ ََ ااَِِ ََ اْ . وآَن َأَراُوس َأ َِْن ُُس َأََ ا، ا َِ َآَم َ َوِ ع . وََِ َأوً َأُ ِْن، َل : " َوَْ َ، أي ا ". وَء ِ ِإ ََع، ََق ُع ِإَ ول : "َأَ ه ُِْن ُ ، أ ََُ ِآ، َأي س اةً". وان .
