and just as God often becomes angry so to destroy many ancient tribes on account of the many sinful children among them,
YA535-540:15
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ·
and like Paul, the servant of Jesus,

The prophets and the apostles served the Lord and his Christ in a (?) to make them join two to suffer with others, and they died in the name of Jesus.
YA525-530:15
ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ·
even as some themselves labor with them;
YA551-554:15

because that is the strength and the foundation of every community which is pleasing to God for all time.
XL93-94:16

Because of this, after the Lord Jesus already knew that our fathers the apostles will do everything that he ordained, as he goes down through them to the heavens according to the scripture.
ZH_fragments_1a-d:16
ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ , ⲙⲙⲁⲩ . ⲏ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ . ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ . ⲉⲁⲩⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛϩⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲩ .
because, since they do not have children, or renounced all those they did have along with all their material possessions,
YA551-554:16
ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲓϩⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲧⲛϩⲱⲃⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϫⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ
Indeed it is not wonderful whenever we act like the false prophets and we conceal our sins from our companions,
YA518-520:16
ⲛⲛⲉϥⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϭⲓⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲛⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ·
For the child of this slave will not inherit along with my child, Isaac.'
YA525-530:16
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ·
likewise, many women renounced so that they do not labor with others through God,
YA535-540:16
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ · ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ · ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ · ⲙⲛⲡⲉϥⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ
and like all the apostles and prophets who were servants to the Lord and his Christ,
YA547-550:16
ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲧϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉⲕⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲁⲓⲟⲥ · ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ·
so also God often turns his anger from many ancient tribes because of the just children among them;
YA551-554:17
ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ · ⲡⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲛⲟⲩϭⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲟⲣⲅⲏ ·
and God must pour his curse on us angrily and wrathfully.
YA547-550:17

and just as a great number [of people] died in their wickedness in every lawlessnes, on account of many false prophets
YA525-530:17
ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ·
even as others themselves labor with them,
ZH_fragments_1a-d:17
ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ·
they 'took their cross and followed the Lord.'
YA535-540:17

according to the Scriptures, saying, 'I sent you my servants, the prophets on the day at the first hour; I sent them and you did not listen.'
XL93-94:17
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲓⲛⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ :
And also in the way that what he commanded them was completed from the beginning while he was with them, that is the Lord of glory, Jesus.
YA518-520:17

Isaac prayed to the Lord, wishing that he would have children with Rebecca

But the wonder occurs whenever we follow the pattern set by our fathers, the prophets and apostles
YA518-520:18
ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲉⲃⲉⲕⲕⲁ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ·
and Rebecca also wished that she would have children with Isaac,
YA535-540:18

How have the prophets and the apostles been servants to the Lord and his Christ except that they chose to labor with others and that they died for the name of Jesus?
ZH_fragments_1a-d:18
ϩⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ , ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ·
And such are our holy ancestors, the prophets and the apostles,

And because of their arrogance and their love of their bodily rest they were willing that they be barren

who lived among the many ancient tribes, praising them and deceiving them and drawing the anger of God on them,
XL93-94:18
ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲛϯⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲛⲁϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉⲙⲡϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ·
For this reason he told them: 'I will not call you my servants, for a servant does not know what his master does
XL93-94:19
ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ · ϫⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲓⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ·
But I will call you my brothers and my friends, because all of those that I heard of my father I have made you known to them.
YA518-520:19
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ·
and thus the Lord God gave to them according to their heart,
YA525-530:19
ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϣⲧⲁⲙ ⲉⲣⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁϭⲣⲏⲛ · ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲧϩⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲕⲓⲃⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧ ⲉϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲡⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ·
and the Lord shut the womb of their souls like a barren woman, and caused the counsels of the teaching to dry up in our community like empty breasts, so that they should not again teach others, from this moment, through God.
YA551-554:19
ⲛⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ·
and we teach our companions not to sin in the presence of God;
YA535-540:19
ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲣⲡⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ϫⲉⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ · ⲉϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ·
Therefore, when the Lord Jesus realizes that our fathers, the apostles, would do anything that he commanded them to do, he will leave them up to heaven, according to the Scriptures;
ZH_fragments_1a-d:19
ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ·

so also a great many lived in every righteousness on account of the prophets of the Lord God,
XL93-94:20

and thus they completed what he commanded them to do from the beginning, while the Lord of glory, Jesus, was with them.
