JONATHAN MITCHELL NEW TESTAMENT SAMPLE

PASSAGES AND VERSES

A Sample Passage from 1 Peter 1:

3. Well-spoken of (or: Eulogized; Blessed; or: Well-gathered, laid-out with ease, and worthy of praise) [is] the God and Father of our Lord (or: Owner), Jesus Christ, the One [Who], corresponding to and down from His abundant (or: much-existing) mercy, [is] – through Jesus Christ's resurrection forth from out of the midst of dead folks – bringing us to birth again (regenerating us; begetting us back up again):

into a progressively living expectation (or: hope);

4. into an incorruptible (unspoilable;

imperishable; unruinable; undecayable),

unstained (undefiled), and unfading (or:

unwithering) inheritance (or: enjoyment of

andparticipation in an allotted portion as a

possession), one having been kept in view,

watched-over, guarded, and which continues

being maintained and kept intact within the

midst of [the] atmospheres (or: heavens);

-- [which things are being birthed] into you folks,

5. the ones being continuously garrisoned within God's power and ability through faith and trust – [and], into a deliverance (a rescue which brings health, wholeness and a return

to your original state and condition) [which is now] ready to be unveiled (revealed; disclosed) within the midst of and in union with [this] last season (fitting situation; occasion)

6. within which you folks are presently feeling

constant joy and happiness and are continuing to rejoice

exceedingly -- though for a little while, at present, since

(or: if) it continues being binding and necessary, being

pained (distressed; grieved; sorrowed) within various tests (or: different

trials and ordeals) to put you to the proof.

7. It [is] to the end that the examined and tested approval of your faith (of the trust and faithfulness of you folks) – [being] of much greater value and worth, and more precious, than of gold that constantly loses itself away (perishes of itself) despite being progressively tested and examined through fire – might be found [progressing] into praise (approval; commendation) and glory (or: a good reputation) and honor (value; worth) within an unveiling of Jesus Christ (or: in union with a revelation whose source is, which has the character of, and which is, Jesus, [the] Anointed One),

8. Whom not seeing (or: perceiving), you folks are continuously loving; into Whom at the present moment you folks are not constantly looking, yet are habitually believing (or: continuously placing [your] trust). You folks are repeatedly rejoicing and being very happy in indescribable (or: incapable of being spoken out) joy which also exists having been made glorious (or: by unspeakable and glorified joy; in joy [that is] inexpressible and has made a notable reputation; with joy that is glorious beyond words),

9. being ones constantly bringing to yourselves for provision, care and kindly keeping, the promised goal (the finished product; the aim and result) of the (or: your) faith and trust: deliverance ([the] restoration to wholeness and health) of souls (or: your inner beings and selves)!

From 1 Peter 3:

18. because even Christ (or: considering that Christ also) died [other MSS: suffered], once for all, concerning and in relation to failures to hit the target (about errors and mistakes; around and encompassing sins [some MSS: our failures; other MSS: your failures]) – a Just One (a rightwised One; One in accord with the Way pointed out; a fair and equitable individual) over [the situation of] (or: for the sake of) unjust ones (capsized folks; those out of accord with the Way pointed out; unfair and inequitable people) – to the end that He at once may bring (or: can lead; would conduct) you folks [other MSS: us] to (or: toward) God. [He], on the one hand, being put to death in flesh (= a physical body), yet on the other hand, being made alive in spirit (or: indeed, being put to death by flesh {or: = the estranged human condition}, yet, being engendered a living one by Breath-effect {or: [the] Spirit}),

19. at one point journeying (going from one place to another; passing on) within which (or: in union with Which), He also proclaimed (published; preached; heralded) the message to and for (or: among) the spirits in prison (within a guardhouse):

20. to and for those being at one time unconvinced (unpersuaded; disobedient; uncompliant) within [the] days of Noah, when (or: while) he was continuing to be receiving forth and taking away from out of God's state of emotional quietness (taking a long time before rushing or being in a heat of passion; long-enduring patience) while [the] ark was progressively being prepared and equipped (constructed to readiness) – into which a few folks, that is, eight souls (= people), were brought safely through [the] water (or: were brought safely through, by means of water),

21. [into] which, also, an echo of correspondent form (or: a copy; an antitype; an impress which answers back; in place of the type or pattern) is now progressively delivering (rescuing) you folks (or: repeatedly bringing you to safety): immersion (submersion and envelopment which brings absorption and permeation to the point of saturation) – not [the] putting off of [the] filth (removal of dirt) away from [the] flesh (= not baptism or bathing of the physical body, or the removal of the alienated false persona), but rather – the result of a full inquiry into the midst of God (or: the effect of an added request unto God; or: = a further quest into “the Divine Mystery” – Paul Tillich) made by a good conscience (from an excellent joint-knowing; in relation to virtuous co-knowledge). [It saves you and it is made] through means of [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22. Who continuously exists (or: is; has being) within God's right [side, or hand – i.e., the place of authority and ability to exercise power; the place of receiving], going from place to place, journeying into [the] atmosphere (or: heaven) of those being humbly aligned by Him (or: pertaining to those subjected, placed and arranged under in Him; which are the folks set in order for support to Him): of agents (or: messengers), and of authorities (or: those who have the right and privilege from out of Being), and of powers (or: folks with abilities).
