Salvation through Born Again

34 What is the scripture saying
regarding this? – When similar
situation happened to Paul and
Barnabas they said when they
came to with garlands and honor
them, men,why are you doing
such things?
35 We also are men with the
same nature as you, and preach
gospel to you that you should turn
from these useless things to the
living God.” And do you know
these sayings they were able to
restrain the multitudes from sacr-
ificing to them?
36-37 So I beseech you to avoid
such dead works in the name of
Christ. We request you to use
the perfume which gives gladness
and delight. Because – perfumes
are a symbol of anointing and
which fills the whole house with
fragrance.
38 II One persons mocks at us
of our writings stating - this man
is saying “not to be adorned with
garlands, not to be adorned with
clothes, and not said to live na-
kedly.” But our writings regard-
ing dead works are of the Holy
Spirit.
39 We write to put them to sha-
me those who are scornful? He
is not aware of what the scrip-
The Salvation is the Gift of God
ture says – their charm is like a
flower and is like flowers blo-
ssoming in the morning.
40 They do know the scripture
saying – they will be like a flower
over which the wind blows it will
fall from its place?
41 One more thing he does not
know. That is - the clothes are
signs of salvation, He made me
wear robe of salvation. He spe-
aks vainly not knowing this. You
need to know that flowers are
replica of the corruptible. You
need to understand difference
between corruptible-incorru-
ptible.
42 II O church, it is shameful
for us even to write to you of
the gentile’s dead works you do.
43 Woe, why are separating
new couple from each other in
the name of ashadam (aadi), and
shravanam? Why do you talk
about full moon and new moon?
Why do you require gentiles’
‘Days and Timings’? We have
already made it clear that all
days are good and alike?
44 II At marriage authority is
given to bride over bridegroom
and to bridegroom over bride
(which means to husband on
wife, and to wife on husband),

having authority on each other,
45 both should wear gold ring
(Gold is a symbol of divine aut-
hority) or silver ring (symbol of
redemption) in the presence of
God. There is nothing more than
that.(Bridegroom put silver ring
to the bride, bride will put gold
ring to the bridegroom).
46 If anyone speaks about tradi-
tions and culture of his nation,
understand that he is merely of
the worldly knowledge, not kno-
wing God’s eternal plan, and he-
ading himself for eternal judg-
ment.
47 Fixing a date for marriage as
Lord reveals is a must for the bl-
essings of saints and for the glory
of Christ.
48 Why is this making revelries
(film songs), making mess with
worldly music at marriages?
49 We exhort you that you sho-
uld use the music which brings
glory to God during marriages
according to the will of the Lord.
CHAPTER 7
Oh church!Why is there not a
single woman being virtuous, and
not adorned with incorrup- tible
beauty? As the scripture is saying
- women adorn themselves in
The Salvation is the Gift of God
modest apparel, with propriety
and moderation, not with brai-
ded hair or gold or pearls or co-
stly clothing,
2 but with what is proper for
women who profess Godliness
with good works, let your ador-
ning be the hidden person of the
heart with the imperishable bea-
uty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
and by submitting to their own
husband,
3 why then such women do not
appear in you? Why are there
not virtuous women but only
contentious women in you?
4 They are not adorned with in-
corruptible beauty which is very
precious in the sight of God, not
learned to fall to worship the
living God, not worshipping
God in such manner, adorned
themselves in costly clothing,
5 gold and pearls around their
necks, stubborn hearts with stif-
fed necks, not respecting their
husbands, having upper hands
on them,
6 fall prey to various tempta-
tions of Satan, and rejecting
God’s word. Will the prophecy
of Isaiah go through Holy Spirit
in vain who spoke about you?
