G2228–ἤ–ē

Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?

ἢ ē “Or”

Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

ἢ ē “Or”

Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

ἢ ē “or”

How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

ἢ ē “or”

But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

ἢ ē “or”

Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

ἢ ē “or”

Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

ἢ ē “or”

Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

ἢ ē “or”

Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

ἢ ē “or”

Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.

ἢ ē “than”

Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”

For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.

ἢ ē “than”

You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

ἢ ē “than”

I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.

ἢ ē “or”

And he gives to all, small and great, the poor and those who have wealth, the free and those who are not free, a mark on their right hand or on their brows;

ἢ ē “or”

So that no man might be able to do trade but he who has the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.

ἢ ē “or”ἢ, ē “or”ἢ ē “or”

And a third angel came after them, saying with a loud voice, If any man gives worship to the beast and his image, and has his mark on his brow or on his hand,

ἢ ē “or”
