OET Php 4:4-7

4Always be happy in the master. I’ll say that again: be happy. 5Let your gentleness be visible to everyone. The master is close. 6Don’t worry about anything, but handle all situations by letting God know your requests—praying and telling God your needs, and also thanking him. 7Then God’s peace which is above human understanding will guard your hearts and your thinking in Messiah Yeshua.

4Be_rejoicing in the_master always, again I_will_be_saying, be_rejoicing.
5The gentle of_you_all let_be_known to_all people.
The master near.
6Nothing be_worrying, but in everything, the by_prayer and the petition with thanksgiving, the requests of_you_all let_be_being_made_known to the god.
7And the peace of_ the _god which being_above all mind, will_be_guarding the hearts of_you_all and the thinking of_you_all in chosen_one/messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).

OET Luke 3:7-18

7[ref]Because of that, he was telling the crowds that went out there to be immersed by him, “Bunch of snakes! Who warned you all to flee from the severe anger that’s coming? 8[ref]So then start demonstrating the qualities that show you have actually turned from your disobedience. And don’t start by telling me that you’re descendants of Abraham, because I can tell you all that God could make descendants out of these stones here. 9[ref]The axe is already sitting at the base of the trees, so that every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”

10“What should we do then,” the crowds asked him.

11“If you’ve got two jackets, give one to someone who doesn’t have one,” he replied, “and similarly if you’ve got food.”

12[ref]Even some tax-collectors came to be immersed, and they asked Yohan, “Teacher, what should we do?”

13“Don’t collect any extra on top of what you’ve been told to collect,” he said.

14“And what about us too,” some soldiers inquired.

“Don’t bully people or falsely accuse anyone,” Yohan answered, “and be content with your wages.”

15The people were expecting that the messiah might come to save them and started wondering in their minds if maybe it was Yohan 16but he explained to them all, “I’ve been immersing you all in water, but there’s one coming who’s greater than me, in fact I’m not even worthy to unlace his sandals. He will immerse you all with the holy spirit and with fire. 17He’ll hold the winnowing fork so he can clear out the threshing floor, gathering the wheat into his barn and burning up the chaff with a fire that never goes out.”

18Yohan preached the good message to the people and also encouraged them to change for the better.


7Therefore he_was_saying to_the crowds going_out to_be_immersed by him:
Brood of_vipers, who warned to_you_all to_flee from the coming severe_anger?
8Therefore produce fruits worthy of_ the _repentance, and you_all_may_ not _begin to_be_saying in yourselves, we_are_having the Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) As_father, because/for I_am_saying to_you_all that the god is_able to_raise children to_ the _Abraʼam from the these stones.
9And already also the axe is_lying to the root of_the trees, therefore every tree not producing good fruit, is_being_cut_off and is_being_thrown into the_fire.
10And the crowds were_asking him saying:
Therefore what may_we_do?
11And answering he_was_saying to_them:
The one having two tunics, let_share to_the one not having, and the one having foods, likewise let_be_doing.
12And tax_collectors also came to_be_immersed, and they_said to him:
Teacher, what may_we_do?
13And he said to them:
Be_collecting nothing more beside the thing having_been_directed to_you_all.
14And also the_soldiering ones were_asking him saying:
What may_ we _do also?
And he_said to_them:
You_all_may_accost no_one nor you_all_may_falsely_accuse, and be_being_sufficed for_the wages of_you_all.
15And the people expecting and reasoning all in the hearts of_them concerning the Yōannaʸs, whether he might_be the chosen_one/messiah, 16the Yōannaʸs answered saying to_all:
I on_one_hand am_immersing you_all in_water, on_the_other_hand the one mightier than me is_coming, of_whom not I_am worthy to_untie the strap of_the sandals of_him, he will_be_immersing you_all in the_ holy _spirit, and with_fire,
17of_whom the winnowing_fork is in the hand of_him to_clear_out the threshing_floor of_him, and to_gather_together the wheat into the barn of_him, and he_will_be_burning_up the the_chaff with_ inextinguishable _fire.
18Therefore also exhorting many other things indeed, he_was_good_message_preaching to_the people.
