Salvation through Born Again
2
12 These have come so that your
faith may be proved genuine and
may result in praise, glory and
honor when Jesus Christ is reve-
aled.
13 I stir you up that your suffer-
ings in the world are not comp-
ared with glory and eternal
kingdom which is coming and the
Lord is able to protect His saints
from the temptations.
14 Many among you are not
considered as the blameless by
the Lord but rather they are la-
boring vainly for the false reaso-
ning, arguments, false preachers,
and false religious leaders. They
became proud, jealous, blasphe-
mous and worldly.
15 They have the depraved min-
d like the pot which is filled with
dirt. They think that godliness is
a means of gain.
16 They learn the word of truth
even in the Bible colleges and
become selfish and lovers of
money.
17 They turn to the vain and
unholy talk along with old wives
fables and hold the Bible in their
hands. They roam among you
and greet you like the bird which
understands and utters the hum-
The Salvation is the Gift of God
an languages.
18 The Apostle Paul said throu-
gh the Holy Spirit that time will
come when men will not put up
with sound doctrine. Instead, th-
ey will gather around them a gre-
at number of teachers to say
what their itching ears want to
hear.
19 And they will turn their ears
away from the truth, and be turn-
ed aside to fables.
20 He, whose sins are forgiven
by the Lord and witnessed to
you by the help of God’s word,
should have a strong foundation.
he should abandon lifeless
deeds such as God’s Spirit said
to our beloved Paul.
21 If anyone is obedient to the
voice of the Holy Spirit which
says that if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation, he should
not have the love of money in
his heart. I write in the name of
the Lord that he who lives like
Gehazi, who came under God’s
judgment, must not be allowed
as a preacher.
22 Shouldn’t he, who says his
sins are forgiven, prove it by his
life that his witness is true?

is the source of our faith.
24 Therefore, be alert and zeal-
ous. Be strong in faith.
CHAPTER 2
BELOVED, I write these
things so that your faith may be
improved. That is – you have faith
in God who walked before the
Israelites like the pillar of fire at
night and clouds at day.
2 Therefore, I warn you that you
may be obedient to the word of
faith as you prosper like, greater
and greater in the last condition
of your faith.
3 God Himself testifies about you
that you are the sons and daugh-
ters of God by living like that.
And the name of Jesus should be
glorified among the people.
4 I tell you that if anyone is not
obedient to God’s word and not
born again in His way but rather
if he lays burden on people and
become a reason for saints to be
apostates, then the Lord will sur-
ely strike him away from people.
5 I remind you that many became
the apostates and went into the
eternal judgment. Therefore be
alert.
6 II I write to you about Hezek-
iah who had complete faith in
The Salvation is the Gift of God
God and victory wherever he
went.
7 He heard the prideful shouts
of Rabshakeh and pleaded God
to put a hook in his nose. Finally
he got victory. The faith is our
victory.
8 If anyone is a preacher but
questions whether God prepa-
res a meal in the wilderness?
And speaks against God and
doesn’t strengthen the faith of
saints, such one is not worthy
by the fruit of his faith.
9 If he speaks selfish and faith-
less words but doesn’t wish the
edification of the church, then
you should know that such one
is the enemy of the author of
faith.
10 The lack of faith spreads like
the gangrene (cancer). Theref-
ore test yourself in everything so
that you may have faith to know
the Lord and live as living witn-
esses among the people.
11 If anyone says that he has
faith but doesn’t live a life of fa-
ith and works, he is like a man
who fills the broken pot with
water.
12 Since these are the days wh-
ere faith is rare, I appreciate you
