AndG1161 seeingG1492 the multitudesG3793, he went upG305 intoG1519 a mountainG3735: andG2532 when heG846 was setG2523, hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto himG846:
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, and taughtG1321 themG846, sayingG3004,
BlessedG3107 are the poorG4434 in spiritG4151: forG3754 theirsG846 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
BlessedG3107 are they that mournG3996: forG3754 theyG846 shall be comfortedG3870.
BlessedG3107 are the meekG4239: forG3754 theyG846 shall inheritG2816 the earthG1093.
BlessedG3107 are they whichG3588 do hungerG3983 andG2532 thirstG1372 after righteousnessG1343: forG3754 theyG846 shall be filledG5526.
BlessedG3107 are the mercifulG1655: forG3754 theyG846 shall obtain mercyG1653.
BlessedG3107 are the pureG2513 in heartG2588: forG3754 theyG846 shall seeG3700 GodG2316.
BlessedG3107 are the peacemakersG1518: forG3754 theyG846 shall be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316.
BlessedG3107 are they which are persecutedG1377 forG1752 righteousness' sakeG1343: forG3754 theirsG846 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
BlessedG3107 are yeG2075, whenG3752 men shall revileG3679 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 shall sayG2036 all mannerG3956 of evilG4190+G4487 againstG2596 youG5216 falselyG5574, for my sakeG1752+G1700. {falsely: Gr. lying}
RejoiceG5463, andG2532 be exceeding gladG21: forG3754 greatG4183 is yourG5216 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772: forG1063 soG3779 persecuted theyG1377 the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 were beforeG4253 youG5216.
YeG5210 areG2075 the saltG217 of the earthG1093: butG1161 ifG1437 the saltG217 have lost his savourG3471, wherewithG1722+G5101 shall it be saltedG233? it is thenceforthG2089 goodG2480 forG1519 nothingG3762, butG1508 to be castG906 outG1854, andG2532 to be trodden under footG2662 ofG5259 menG444.
YeG5210 areG2075 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889. A cityG4172 that is setG2749 onG1883 an hillG3735 cannotG3756+G1410 be hidG2928.
NeitherG3761 do men lightG2545 a candleG3088, andG2532 putG5087 itG846 underG5259 a bushelG3426, butG235 onG1909 a candlestickG3087; andG2532 it giveth lightG2989 unto allG3956 that are inG1722 the houseG3614. {a bushel: the word in the original signifieth a measure containing about a pint less than a peck}
Let yourG5216 lightG5457 soG3779 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG444, thatG3704 they may seeG1492 yourG5216 goodG2570 worksG2041, andG2532 glorifyG1392 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
ThinkG3543 notG3361 thatG3754 I am comeG2064 to destroyG2647 the lawG3551, orG2228 the prophetsG4396: I amG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 to destroyG2647, butG235 to fulfilG4137.
ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, TillG2193+G302 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 passG3928, oneG1520 jotG2503 orG2228 oneG3391 tittleG2762 shall in no wiseG3364 passG3928 fromG575 the lawG3551, tillG2193+G302 allG3956 be fulfilledG1096.
WhosoeverG3739+G1437 thereforeG3767 shall breakG3089 oneG3391 of theseG5130 leastG1646 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 shall teachG1321 menG444 soG3779, he shall be calledG2564 the leastG1646 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall doG4160 andG2532 teachG1321 them, the sameG3778 shall be calledG2564 greatG3173 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 exceptG3362 yourG5216 righteousnessG1343 shall exceedG4052+G4119 the righteousness of the scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, ye shall in no caseG3364 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG5407 notG3756 killG5407; andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall killG5407 shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the judgmentG2920: {by: or, to}
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is angryG3710 with hisG846 brotherG80 without a causeG1500 shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the judgmentG2920: andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036 to hisG846 brotherG80, RacaG4469, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the councilG4892: butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036, Thou foolG3474, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 ofG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442. {Raca: that is, Vain fellow}
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thou bringG4374 thyG4675 giftG1435 toG1909 the altarG2379, and thereG2546 rememberestG3415 thatG3754 thyG4675 brotherG80 hathG2192 oughtG5100 againstG2596 theeG4675;
LeaveG863 thereG1563 thyG4675 giftG1435 beforeG1715 the altarG2379, andG2532 go thy wayG5217; firstG4412 be reconciledG1259 to thyG4675 brotherG80, andG2532 thenG5119 comeG2064 and offerG4374 thyG4675 giftG1435.
AgreeG2468+G2132 with thineG4675 adversaryG476 quicklyG5035, whilesG2193+G3755 thou artG1488 inG1722 the wayG3598 withG3326 himG846; lest at any timeG3379 the adversaryG476 deliverG3860 theeG4571 to the judgeG2923, andG2532 the judgeG2923 deliverG3860 theeG4571 to the officerG5257, andG2532 thou be castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, Thou shaltG1831 by no meansG3364 comeG1831 out thenceG1564, tillG2193+G302 thou hast paidG591 the uttermostG2078 farthingG2835.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3956 lookethG991 on a womanG1135 toG4314 lust afterG1937 herG846 hath committed adulteryG3431 with herG846 alreadyG2235 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588.
AndG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 rightG1188 eyeG3788 offendG4624 theeG4571, pluckG1807 itG846 outG1807, andG2532 castG906 it fromG575 theeG4675: forG1063 it is profitableG4851 for theeG4671 thatG2443 oneG1520 of thyG4675 membersG3196 should perishG622, andG2532 notG3361 that thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 should be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067. {offend…: or, do cause thee to offend}
AndG2532 ifG1487 thyG4675 rightG1188 handG5495 offendG4624 theeG4571, cutG1581 itG846 offG1581, andG2532 castG906 it fromG575 theeG4675: forG1063 it is profitableG4851 for theeG4671 thatG2443 oneG1520 of thyG4675 membersG3196 should perishG622, andG2532 notG3361 that thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 should be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067.
It hath been saidG4483+G3754, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall put awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, let him giveG1325 herG846 a writing of divorcementG647:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall put awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, savingG3924 for the causeG3056 of fornicationG4202, causethG4160 herG846 to commit adulteryG3429: andG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall marryG1060 her that is divorcedG630 committeth adulteryG3429.
AgainG3825, ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG1964 notG3756 forswear thyselfG1964, butG1161 shalt performG591 unto the LordG2962 thineG4675 oathsG3727:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, SwearG3660 notG3361 at allG3654; neitherG3383 byG1722 heavenG3772; forG3754 it isG2076 God'sG2316 throneG2362:
NorG3383 byG1722 the earthG1093; forG3754 it isG2076 hisG846 footstoolG4228+G5286: neitherG3383 byG1519 JerusalemG2414; forG3754 it isG2076 the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935.
NeitherG3383 shalt thou swearG3660 byG1722 thyG4675 headG2776, becauseG3754 thou canstG1410 notG3756 makeG4160 oneG3391 hairG2359 whiteG3022 orG2228 blackG3189.
ButG1161 letG2077 yourG5216 communicationG3056 beG2077, YeaG3483, yeaG3483; NayG3756, nayG3756: forG1161 whatsoever is moreG4053 than theseG5130 comethG2076 ofG1537 evilG4190.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483, An eyeG3788 forG473 an eyeG3788, andG2532 a toothG3599 forG473 a toothG3599:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, That ye resistG436 notG3361 evilG4190: butG235 whosoeverG3748 shall smiteG4474 theeG4571 onG1909 thyG4675 rightG1188 cheekG4600, turnG4762 to himG846 the otherG243 alsoG2532.
AndG2532 if any man willG2309 sueG2919 theeG4671 at the lawG2919, andG2532 take awayG2983 thyG4675 coatG5509, letG863 himG846 haveG863 thy clokeG2440 alsoG2532.
AndG2532 whosoeverG3748 shall compelG29 theeG4571 to goG29 aG1520 mileG3400, goG5217 withG3326 himG846 twainG1417.
GiveG1325 to him that askethG154 theeG4571, andG2532 from him that wouldG2309 borrowG1155 ofG575 theeG4675 turnG654 notG3361 thou awayG654.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139, andG2532 hateG3404 thineG4675 enemyG2190.
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, LoveG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, blessG2127 them that curseG2672 youG5209, doG4160 goodG2573 to them that hateG3404 youG5209, andG2532 prayG4336 forG5228 them whichG3588 despitefully useG1908 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 youG5209;
ThatG3704 ye may beG1096 the childrenG5207 of yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772: forG3754 he makethG393 hisG846 sunG2246 to riseG393 onG1909 the evilG4190 andG2532 on the goodG18, andG2532 sendeth rainG1026 onG1909 the justG1342 andG2532 on the unjustG94.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye loveG25 them whichG3588 loveG25 youG5209, whatG5101 rewardG3408 have yeG2192? doG4160 notG3780 evenG2532 the publicansG5057 the sameG846?
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye saluteG782 yourG5216 brethrenG80 onlyG3440, whatG5101 doG4160 ye moreG4053 than others? doG4160 notG3780 evenG2532 the publicansG5057 soG3779?
BeG2071 yeG5210 thereforeG3767 perfectG5046, evenG5618 as yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772 isG2076 perfectG5046.

ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 drinkG4222: I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 inG4863:
NakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165: I was sickG770, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165: I wasG2252 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye cameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, andG2532 fedG5142 thee? orG2228 thirstyG1372, andG2532 gave thee drinkG4222?
WhenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 a strangerG3581, andG2532 took thee inG4863? orG2228 nakedG1131, andG2532 clothedG4016 thee?
Or whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571?
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
If there be among you a poor manH34 of oneH259 of thy brethrenH251 within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 in thy landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not hardenH553 thine heartH3824, nor shutH7092 thine handH3027 from thy poorH34 brotherH251:
But thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto him, and shalt surelyH5670 lendH5670 him sufficientH1767 for his needH4270, in that which he wantethH2637.
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
Thou shalt surelyH5414 giveH5414 him, and thine heartH3824 shall not be grievedH3415 when thou givestH5414 unto him: becauseH1558 that for this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thy worksH4639, and in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handH3027 unto.
For the poorH34 shall never ceaseH2308 out ofH7130 the landH776: therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto thy brotherH251, to thy poorH6041, and to thy needyH34, in thy landH776.
And if thy brotherH251, an Hebrew manH5680, or an Hebrew womanH5680, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee.
And when thou sendestH7971 him out freeH2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him go awayH7971 emptyH7387:
Thou shalt furnishH6059 him liberallyH6059 out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy floorH1637, and out of thy winepressH3342: of that wherewith the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him.
If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof;
(For from my youthH5271 he was brought upH1431 with me, as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 her from my mother'sH517 wombH990;) {her: that is, the widow}
If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682;
If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;
The wickedH7563 borrowethH3867, and payeth not againH7999: but the righteousH6662 sheweth mercyH2603, and givethH5414.
I have been youngH5288, and now am oldH2204; yet have I not seenH7200 the righteousH6662 forsakenH5800, nor his seedH2233 beggingH1245 breadH3899.
He is everH3117 mercifulH2603, and lendethH3867; and his seedH2233 is blessedH1293. {ever: Heb. all the day}
A goodH2896 manH376 sheweth favourH2603, and lendethH3867: he will guideH3557 his affairsH1697 with discretionH4941. {discretion: Heb. judgment}
Surely he shall not be movedH4131 for everH5769: the righteousH6662 shall be in everlastingH5769 remembranceH2143.
He shall not be afraidH3372 of evilH7451 tidingsH8052: his heartH3820 is fixedH3559, trustingH982 in the LORDH3068.
His heartH3820 is establishedH5564, he shall not be afraidH3372, until he seeH7200 his desire upon his enemiesH6862.
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
WithholdH4513 not goodH2896 from them to whom it is dueH1167, when it is in the powerH410 of thine handH3027 to doH6213 it. {them…: Heb. the owners thereof}
SayH559 not unto thy neighbourH7453, GoH3212, and come againH7725, and to morrowH4279 I will giveH5414; when thou hastH3426 it by thee.
There isH3426 that scatterethH6340, and yet increasethH3254; and there is that withholdethH2820 more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.
The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878: and he that waterethH7301 shall be wateredH3384 also himself. {liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing}
He that hath pityH2603 upon the poorH1800 lendethH3867 unto the LORDH3068; and that which he hath givenH1576 will he pay him againH7999. {that which…: or, his deed}
CastH7971 thy breadH3899 uponH6440 the watersH4325: for thou shalt findH4672 it after manyH7230 daysH3117. {upon…: Heb. upon the face of the waters}
GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, and also to eightH8083; for thou knowestH3045 not what evilH7451 shall be upon the earthH776.
In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withholdH3240 not thine handH3027: for thou knowestH3045 not whetherH335 shall prosperH3787, either this or that, or whether they bothH8147 shall be alikeH259 goodH2896. {shall prosper: Heb. shall be right}
Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133? {the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? {cast…: or, afflicted}
Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234 as the morningH7837, and thine healthH724 shall spring forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rerewardH622. {be…: Heb. gather thee up}
Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205;
And if thou draw outH6329 thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflictedH6031 soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672:
And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502 thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}
And they that shall be of thee shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 waste placesH2723: thou shalt raise upH6965 the foundationsH4146 of manyH1755 generationsH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121, The repairerH1443 of the breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of pathsH5410 to dwell inH3427.
WhereforeH3861, O kingH4430, let my counselH4431 be acceptableH8232 unto theeH5922, and break offH6562 thy sinsH2408 by righteousnessH6665, and thine iniquitiesH5758 by shewing mercyH2604 to the poorH6033; ifH2006 it may beH1934 a lengtheningH754 of thy tranquillityH7963. {a lengthening…: or, an healing of thine error}
GiveG1325 to every manG3956 that askethG154 of theeG4571; andG2532 ofG575 him that taketh awayG142 thy goodsG4674 askG523 them notG3361 againG523.
AndG2532 asG2531 ye wouldG2309 thatG2443 menG444 should doG4160 to youG5213, doG4160 yeG5210 alsoG2532 to themG846 likewiseG3668.
ForG2532 ifG1487 ye loveG25 them which loveG25 youG5209, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 alsoG2532 loveG25 those that loveG25 themG846.
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye do goodG15 to them which do goodG15 to youG5209, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 also doG4160 evenG2532 the sameG846.
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye lendG1155 to them ofG3844 whomG3739 ye hopeG1679 to receiveG618, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 alsoG2532 lendG1155 to sinnersG268, toG2443 receiveG618 as muchG2470 againG618.
ButG4133 love yeG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, andG2532 do goodG15, andG2532 lendG1155, hopingG560 for nothingG3367 againG560; andG2532 yourG5216 rewardG3408 shall beG2071 greatG4183, andG2532 ye shall beG2071 the childrenG5207 of the HighestG5310: forG3754 heG846 isG2076 kindG5543 untoG1909 the unthankfulG884 andG2532 to the evilG4190.
Be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 mercifulG3629, asG2531 yourG5216 FatherG3962 alsoG2532 isG2076 mercifulG3629.
But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG2076 cleanG2513 unto youG5213. {of…: or, as you are able}
ThenG1161 said heG3004 alsoG2532 to him that badeG2564 himG846, WhenG3752 thou makestG4160 a dinnerG712 orG2228 a supperG1173, callG5455 notG3361 thyG4675 friendsG5384, norG3366 thyG4675 brethrenG80, neitherG3366 thyG4675 kinsmenG4773, norG3366 thy richG4145 neighboursG1069; lestG3379 theyG846 alsoG2532 bidG479 theeG4571 againG479, andG2532 a recompenceG468 be madeG1096 theeG4671.
ButG235 whenG3752 thou makestG4160 a feastG1403, callG2564 the poorG4434, the maimedG376, the lameG5560, the blindG5185:
AndG2532 thou shalt beG2071 blessedG3107; forG3754 they cannotG3756+G2192 recompenseG467 theeG4671: forG1063 thouG4671 shalt be recompensedG467 atG1722 the resurrectionG386 of the justG1342.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
ButG1161 thisG5124 I say, He which sowethG4687 sparinglyG5340 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 sparinglyG5340; andG2532 he which sowethG4687 bountifullyG1909+G2129 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 bountifullyG1909+G2129.
Every manG1538 according asG2531 he purposethG4255 in his heartG2588, so let him give; notG3361 grudginglyG1537+G3077, orG2228 ofG1537 necessityG318: forG1063 GodG2316 lovethG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
AndG1161 GodG2316 is ableG1415 to makeG4052 allG3956 graceG5485 aboundG4052 towardG1519 youG5209; thatG2443 ye, alwaysG3842 havingG2192 allG3956 sufficiencyG841 inG1722 allG3956 things, may aboundG4052 toG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041:
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, He hath dispersed abroadG4650; he hath givenG1325 to the poorG3993: hisG846 righteousnessG1343 remainethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
NowG1161 he that ministerethG2023 seedG4690 to the sowerG4687 bothG2532 ministerG5524 breadG740 forG1519 your foodG1035, andG2532 multiplyG4129 yourG5216 seed sownG4703, andG2532 increaseG837 the fruitsG1081 of yourG5216 righteousnessG1343;)
Being enrichedG4148 inG1722 every thingG3956 toG1519 allG3956 bountifulnessG572, whichG3748 causethG2716 throughG1223 usG2257 thanksgivingG2169 to GodG2316. {bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity}
ForG3754 the administrationG1248 of thisG5026 serviceG3009 notG3756 onlyG3440 suppliethG2076+G4322 the wantG5303 of the saintsG40, butG235 is abundantG4052 alsoG2532 byG1223 manyG4183 thanksgivingsG2169 unto GodG2316;
Whiles byG1223 the experimentG1382 of thisG5026 ministrationG1248 they glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 yourG5216 professedG3671 subjectionG5292 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, andG2532 for your liberalG572 distributionG2842 untoG1519 themG846, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 men;
AndG2532 by theirG846 prayerG1162 forG5228 youG5216, which long afterG1971 youG5209 forG1223 the exceedingG5235 graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1909 youG5213.
ThanksG5485 be unto GodG2316 forG1909 hisG846 unspeakableG411 giftG1431.
ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3588 givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoyG619; {uncertain…: Gr. uncertainty of riches}
That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG1511+G2130, willing to communicateG2843; {willing…: or, sociable}
Laying up in storeG597 for themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 foundationG2310 againstG1519 the time to comeG3195, thatG2443 they may lay hold onG1949 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
ButG1161 to do goodG2140 andG2532 to communicateG2842 forgetG1950 notG3361: forG1063 with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is well pleasedG2100.
PureG2513 religionG2356 andG2532 undefiledG283 beforeG3844 GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 isG2076 thisG3778, To visitG1980 the fatherlessG3737 andG2532 widowsG5503 inG1722 theirG846 afflictionG2347, and to keepG5083 himselfG1438 unspottedG784 fromG575 the worldG2889.
IfG1437+G1161 a brotherG80 orG2228 sisterG79 beG5225 nakedG1131, andG2532 destituteG3007+G5600 of dailyG2184 foodG5160,
AndG1161 oneG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 sayG2036 unto themG846, DepartG5217 inG1722 peaceG1515, be ye warmedG2328 andG2532 filledG5526; notwithstandingG1161 ye giveG1325 themG846 notG3361 those things which are needfulG2006 to the bodyG4983; whatG5101 doth it profitG3786?
HerebyG1722+G5129 perceive weG1097 the loveG26 of God, becauseG3754 heG1565 laid downG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 usG2257: andG2532 weG2249 oughtG3784 to lay downG5087 our livesG5590 forG5228 the brethrenG80.
ButG1161 whosoG3739+G302 hathG2192 this world'sG2889 goodG979, andG2532 seethG2334 hisG846 brotherG80 haveG2192 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth upG2808 hisG846 bowelsG4698 of compassion fromG575 himG846, howG4459 dwellethG3306 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846?
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, let usG25 notG3361 loveG25 in wordG3056, neitherG3366 in tongueG1100; butG235 in deedG2041 andG2532 in truthG225.
