OET 1Th 3:9-13

9We’re not able to repay God for the thankfulness that we have about you, because we are certainly thrilled in God’s presence because of you all.

10Day and night we’re strongly requesting God that we’ll be able to go and see you all again, and to teach anything that’s lacking in your faith, 11and that God our father himself and our master Yeshua might show us how we could get to you all.

12May the master increase your numbers and give you all an excess of love towards each other and toward everyone, just like we also have toward all of you, 13in order to strengthen your faith and make you blameless and spotless before our father God, when our master Yeshua comes with all his holy people. May it be so.

9For/Because what thanksgiving we_are_being_able to_the to_god to_repay concerning you_all, because/for all the joy that we_are_rejoicing because_of you_all, before the god of_us.
10Night and day, beyond_exceedingly beseeching in_order that to_see of_you_all the face, and to_prepare the lacking things in_the faith of_you_all?
11And himself the god and father of_us, and the master of_us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa), might_direct the way of_us to you_all.
12And you_all the master might_be_plentiful and might_be_plentiful the in_love toward one_another, and toward all, just_as also we toward you_all, 13in_order that to_strengthen of_you_all the hearts, blameless in holiness before the god and father of_us, at the coming of_the master of_us, Yaʸsous, with all the holy ones of_him.
Truly.

OET Luke 21:25-36

21:1 The return of humanity’s child

(Mark 13:24-27, Mat. 24:29-31)

25[ref]There’ll be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and anguish in countries around the world as they’re puzzled by the noise of the sea and surf. 26People will faint from fear and worry about what’s happening to the planet, because the powers in the universe[fn] will be shaken. 27[ref]Then they’ll see humanity’s child coming down in a cloud with power and great brightness. 28But when these things start to happen, stand straight and look upwards, because your new lives of freedom will be about to begin.

21:29 Recognising the end by the season

(Mark 13:28-31, Mat. 24:32-35)

29Then he told them a parable: “Watch the fig tree and all the trees. 30Whenever you see shoots start appearing, you know that summer is not far away. 31Similarly when you all see those things starting to happen, you will know that God’s kingdom is close.

32I can assure you all that that generation certainly won’t pass away until all those events come to an end. 33The sky and the earth will pass away, but my statements will certainly not pass away.

21:34 Stay alert and pray

34Watch your own lives in case you end up focused on partying and drunkenness and day-to-day living, because then that sudden end might snap on you 35like an animal trap, because it will hit everyone all over the planet. 36No matter what the season, stay alert, asking God that you’ll all have the strength to escape all those things going to happen, and at the end to be able to stand in front of humanity’s child.


21:26 This could possibly be referring to a shake-up of spiritual powers, but more likely refers to the physical universe from our moon and solar system outwards.


25And there_will_be signs in the_sun, and moon, and stars, and anguish of_nations on the earth, with perplexity of_the_sound of_the_sea and surf, 26people fainting from fear and expectation of_the things coming_over to_the inhabited_world, because/for the powers of_the heavens will_be_being_shaken.
27And then they_will_be_seeing the son of_ the _Man, coming in a_cloud with power and great glory.
28But these things beginning to_be_becoming, straighten_up and lift_up the heads of_you_all, because the redemption of_you_all is_nearing.
29And he_said parable to_them:
Watch the fig_tree and all the trees,
30whenever they_may_put_forward already, seeing them for yourselves, you_all_are_knowing that already the summer is near.
31Thus also you_all, whenever you_all_may_see these things becoming, be_knowing that the kingdom of_ the _god is near.
32Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all that by_no_means may_ not _pass_away the this generation, until wishfully all things may_become.
33The heaven and the earth will_be_passing_away, but the messages of_me by_no_means will_ not _be_passing_away.
34And be_taking_heed to_yourselves, lest the hearts of_you_all may_be_weighed_down with dissipation, and drunkenness, and worries of_living, and that sudden the day may_approach on you_all 35as a_snare, because/for it_will_be_coming_in on all the ones sitting on the_face of_all the earth.
36Be_watching and at every season, beseeching that you_all_may_prevail to_escape all these things which going to_be_becoming, and to_be_stood before the son of_ the _Man.
