InG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 cameG3854 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910, preachingG2784 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of JudaeaG2449,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, Repent yeG3340: forG1063 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at handG1448.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is heG2076 that was spokenG4483 of byG5259 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
AndG1161 the sameG846 JohnG2491 hadG2192 hisG846 raimentG1742 ofG575 camel'sG2574 hairG2359, andG2532 a leathernG1193 girdleG2223 aboutG4012 hisG846 loinsG3751; andG1161 hisG846 meatG5160 wasG2258 locustsG200 andG2532 wildG66 honeyG3192.
ThenG5119 went outG1607 toG4314 himG846 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 allG3956 the region round aboutG4066 JordanG2446,
AndG2532 were baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846 inG1722 JordanG2446, confessingG1843 theirG846 sinsG266.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 waterG5204 untoG1519 repentanceG3341: butG1161 he that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 isG2076 mightier thanG2478 IG3450, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to bearG941: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 with fireG4442:
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
ThenG5119 comethG3854 JesusG2424 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1909 JordanG2446 untoG4314 JohnG2491, to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846.
ButG1161 JohnG2491 forbadG1254 him, sayingG3004, IG1473 haveG2192 needG5532 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 theeG4675, andG2532 comestG2064 thouG4771 toG4314 meG3165?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, SufferG863 it to be so nowG737: forG1063 thusG3779 it becomethG4241+G2076 usG2254 to fulfilG4137 allG3956 righteousness.G1343 ThenG5119 he sufferedG863 himG846.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
AndG2532 loG2400 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106.

ForG1063 from withinG2081, out ofG1537 the heartG2588 of menG444, proceedG1607 evilG2556 thoughtsG1261, adulteriesG3430, fornicationsG4202, murdersG5408,
SonH1121 of manH120, they that inhabitH3427 those wastesH2723 of the landH127 of IsraelH3478 speakH559, sayingH559, AbrahamH85 was oneH259, and he inheritedH3423 the landH776: but we are manyH7227; the landH776 is givenH5414 us for inheritanceH4181.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 westG1424, andG2532 shall sit downG347 withG3326 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341, andG2532 beginG756 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11. {worthy of: or, meet for}
AndG2532+G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395.
ButG1161 the childrenG5207 of the kingdomG932 shall be cast outG1544 intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
ButG1161 when JesusG2424 perceivedG1921 theirG846 thoughtsG1261, he answeringG611 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, WhatG5101 reason yeG1260 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588?
They answeredG611 himG846, We beG2070 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 wereG1398 neverG4455 in bondageG1398 to any manG3762: howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771+G3754, Ye shall be madeG1096 freeG1658?
AndG2532 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, I tellG3004 youG5213 thatG3754, ifG1437 theseG3778 should hold their peaceG4623, the stonesG3037 would immediately cry outG2896.
NowG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 whichG3588 had biddenG2564 himG846 sawG1492 it, he spakeG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, This manG3778, ifG1487 he wereG2258 a prophetG4396+G302, would have knownG1097 whoG5101 andG2532 what mannerG4217 of womanG1135 this is thatG3748 touchethG680 himG846: forG3754 she isG2076 a sinnerG268.
They answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, AbrahamG11 isG2076 ourG2257 fatherG3962. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, IfG1487 ye wereG2258 Abraham'sG11 childrenG5043, ye would doG4160+G302 the worksG2041 of AbrahamG11.
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG3450 fruitsG2590?
ButG1161 nowG3568 ye seekG2212 to killG615 meG3165, a manG444 thatG3739 hath toldG2980 youG5213 the truthG225, whichG3739 I have heardG191 ofG3844 GodG2316: thisG5124 didG4160 notG3756 AbrahamG11.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
ArtG3361+G1488 thouG4771 greater thanG3187 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, whichG3748 is deadG599? andG2532 the prophetsG4396 are deadG599: whomG5101 makestG4160 thouG4771 thyselfG4572?
ButG235 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the things which are mightyG2478;
MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoever amongG1722 youG5213 fearethG5399 GodG2316, to youG5213 isG649 the wordG3056 of thisG5026 salvationG4991 sentG649.
AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG2889, andG2532 things which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 things whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 things that areG5607:
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 as many of you asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 be Christ'sG5547, thenG686 are yeG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the promiseG1860.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
