ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likenedG3666 unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, and went forthG1831 to meetG529+G1519 the bridegroomG3566.
AndG1161 fiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 wiseG5429, andG2532 fiveG4002 were foolishG3474.
TheyG3748 that were foolishG3474 tookG2983 theirG846+G1438 lampsG2985, and tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 withG3326 themG1438:
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 theirG846 vesselsG30 withG3326 theirG846 lampsG2985.
WhileG1161 the bridegroomG3566 tarriedG5549, they allG3956 slumberedG3573 andG2532 sleptG2518.
AndG1161 at midnightG3319+G3571 there was a cryG2906 madeG1096, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566 comethG2064; go ye outG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846.
ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 aroseG1453, andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG846 lampsG2985.
AndG1161 the foolishG3474 saidG2036 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 usG2254 ofG1537 yourG5216 oilG1637; forG3754 ourG2257 lampsG2985 are gone outG4570. {gone out: or, going out}
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Not so; lestG3379 there beG714 notG3756 enoughG714 for usG2254 andG2532 youG5213: butG1161 go yeG4198 ratherG3123 to themG4314 that sellG4453, andG2532 buyG59 for yourselvesG1438.
AndG1161 while theyG846 wentG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 they that were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 the marriageG1062: andG2532 the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
AfterwardG1161+G5305 cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to usG2254.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, forG3754 ye knowG1492 neitherG3756 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610 whereinG1722+G3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
ForG1063 the kingdom of heaven is asG5618 a manG444 travelling into a far countryG589, who calledG2564 his ownG2398 servantsG1401, andG2532 deliveredG3860 unto themG846 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 unto oneG3739+G3303 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007+G1161, to anotherG3739 twoG1417, andG1161 to anotherG3739 oneG1520; to every manG1538 accordingG2596 to his severalG2398 abilityG1411; andG2532 straightwayG2112 took his journeyG589. {talents: a talent is 187.pounds 10.ten shillings, chap.18.24}
ThenG1161 he that had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 and tradedG2038 withG1722 the sameG846, andG2532 madeG4160 them otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007.
AndG2532 likewiseG5615 he that had receivedG3588 twoG1417, heG846 alsoG2532 gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417.
ButG1161 he that had receivedG2983 oneG1520 wentG565 and diggedG3736 inG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 hidG613 hisG846 lord'sG2962 moneyG694.
AfterG1161+G3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 the lordG2962 of thoseG1565 servantsG1401 comethG2064, andG2532 reckonethG4868+G3056 withG3326 themG846.
And soG2532 he that had receivedG2983 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 fiveG4002 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 besideG1909 themG846 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 moreG243.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
He alsoG2532 that had receivedG2983 twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 twoG1417 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 otherG243 talentsG5007 besideG1909 themG846.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401; thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
ThenG1161+G2532 he which had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, I knewG1097 theeG4571 thatG3754 thou artG1488 an hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou hastG4687 notG3756 sownG4687, andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3606 thou hastG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
AndG2532 I was afraidG5399, and wentG565 and hidG2928 thyG4675 talentG5007 inG1722 the earthG1093: loG2396, there thou hastG2192 that is thineG4674.
HisG846 lordG2962 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou wickedG4190 andG2532 slothfulG3636 servantG1401, thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 I reapG2325 whereG3699 I sowedG4687 notG3756, andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3606 I haveG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
ThouG4571 oughtestG1163 thereforeG3767 to have putG906 myG3450 moneyG694 to the exchangersG5133, andG2532 then at my comingG2064 IG1473 shouldG302 have receivedG2865 mine ownG1699 withG4862 usuryG5110.
TakeG142 thereforeG3767 the talentG5007 fromG575 himG846, andG2532 giveG1325 it unto him which hathG2192 tenG1176 talentsG5007.
ForG1063 unto every oneG3956 that hathG2192 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have abundanceG4052: butG1161 fromG575 himG846 that hathG2192 notG3361 shall be taken awayG142+G575 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he hathG2192.
AndG2532 cast yeG1544 the unprofitableG888 servantG1401 intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
WhenG1161+G3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall comeG2064 inG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 allG3956 the holyG40 angelsG32 withG3326 himG846, thenG5119 shall he sitG2523 uponG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391:
AndG2532 beforeG1715 himG846 shall be gatheredG4863 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 he shall separateG873 themG846 oneG240 fromG575 anotherG240, asG5618 a shepherdG4166 dividethG873 his sheepG4263 fromG575 the goatsG2056:
AndG2532 he shall setG2476+G3303 the sheepG4263 onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, butG1161 the goatsG2055 onG1537 the leftG2176.
ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG2046 unto them onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of myG3450 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG5213 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889:
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.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.

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.
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
He that receivethG1209 youG5209 receivethG1209 meG1691, andG2532 he that receivethG1209 meG1691 receivethG1209 him that sentG649 meG3165.
He that receivethG1209 a prophetG4396 inG1519 the nameG3686 of a prophetG4396 shall receiveG2983 a prophet'sG4396 rewardG3408; andG2532 he that receivethG2983 a righteous manG1342 inG1519 the nameG3686 of a righteous manG1342 shall receiveG1209 a righteous man'sG1342 rewardG3408.
AndG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall give to drinkG4222 unto oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 a cupG4221 of coldG5593 water onlyG3440 inG1519 the nameG3686 of a discipleG3101, verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, he shall in no wiseG3364 loseG622 hisG846 rewardG3408.
If thine enemyH8130 be hungryH7457, give him breadH3899 to eatH398; and if he be thirstyH6771, give him waterH4325 to drinkH8248:
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
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.
And there cameH935 twoH8147 angelsH4397 to SodomH5467 at evenH6153; and LotH3876 satH3427 in the gateH8179 of SodomH5467: and LotH3876 seeingH7200 them rose upH6965 to meetH7125 them; and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 toward the groundH776;
And he saidH559, Behold now, my lordsH113, turn inH5493, I pray you, into your servant'sH5650 houseH1004, and tarry all nightH3885, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and ye shall rise up earlyH7925, and goH1980 on your waysH1870. And they saidH559, Nay; but we will abideH3885 in the streetH7339 all nightH3885.
And he pressedH6484 upon them greatlyH3966; and they turned inH5493 unto him, and enteredH935 into his houseH1004; and he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and did bakeH644 unleavened breadH4682, and they did eatH398.
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.
AndG1161 whenG5613 she was baptizedG907, andG2532 herG846 householdG3624, she besoughtG3870 us, sayingG3004, IfG1487 ye have judgedG2919 meG3165 to beG1511 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624, and abideG3306 there. AndG2532 she constrainedG3849 usG2248.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
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;
If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:
GaiusG1050 mineG3450 hostG3581, andG2532 of the wholeG3650 churchG1577, salutethG782 youG5209. ErastusG2037 the chamberlainG3623 of the cityG4172 salutethG782 youG5209, andG2532 QuartusG2890 a brotherG80.
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.
The wickedH7563 shall seeH7200 it, and be grievedH3707; he shall gnashH2786 with his teethH8127, and melt awayH4549: the desireH8378 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6.
Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought upG5044 children, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints'G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
HonourH3513 the LORDH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393:
LetG3306 brotherly loveG5360 continueG3306.
BeG1950 notG3361 forgetfulG1950 to entertain strangersG5381: forG1063 therebyG1223+G5026 someG5100 have entertainedG3579 angelsG32 unawaresG2990.
RememberG3403 them that are in bondsG1198, asG5613 bound with themG4887; and them which suffer adversityG2558, asG5613 beingG5607 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 inG1722 the bodyG4983.
So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, and thy pressesH3342 shall burst outH6555 with new wineH8492.
There isH3426 that scatterethH6340, and yet increasethH3254; and there is that withholdethH2820 more than is meetH3476, but it tendeth to povertyH4270.
BelovedG27, thou doestG4160 faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou doestG2038 toG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581;
WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140 of thyG4675 charityG26 beforeG1799 the churchG1577: whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311 afterG516 a godlyG2316 sortG516, thou shalt doG4160 wellG2573: {after…: Gr. worthy of God}
Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG5228 they went forthG1831, takingG2983 nothingG3367 ofG575 the GentilesG1484.
WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG618 suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096 fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG225. {fellowhelpers: or, joint-labourers}
The liberalH1293 soulH5315 shall be made fatH1878: and he that waterethH7301 shall be wateredH3384 also himself. {liberal…: Heb. soul of blessing}
He that despisethH936 his neighbourH7453 sinnethH2398: but he that hath mercyH2603 on the poorH6035+H6041, happyH835 is he.
He that oppressethH6231 the poorH1800 reproachethH2778 his MakerH6213: but he that honourethH3513 him hath mercyH2603 on the poorH34.
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}
He that hath a bountifulH2896 eyeH5869 shall be blessedH1288; for he givethH5414 of his breadH3899 to the poorH1800. {He that…: Heb. Good of eye}
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.
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 hath not oppressedH3238 anyH376, but hath restoredH7725 to the debtorH2326 his pledgeH2258, hath spoiledH1497 none by violenceH1500, hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899;
Neither hath oppressedH3238 anyH376, hath not withholdenH2254 the pledgeH2258, neither hath spoiledH1497 by violenceH1500, but hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899, {hath not…: Heb. hath not pledged the pledge, or, taken to pledge}
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}
He hath shewedH5046 thee, O manH120, what is goodH2896; and what doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH2617, and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with thy GodH430? {walk…: Heb. humble thyself to walk}
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 withG3326 youG1438 alwaysG3842, andG2532 whensoeverG3752 ye willG2309 ye mayG1410 doG4160 themG846 goodG2095: butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
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.
ForG1063 someG5100 of them thoughtG1380, becauseG1893 JudasG2455 hadG2192 the bagG1101, thatG3754 JesusG2424 had saidG3004 unto himG846, BuyG59 those things thatG3739 we haveG2192 need ofG5532 againstG1519 the feastG1859; orG2228, thatG2443 he should giveG1325 somethingG5100 to the poorG4434.
AndG1161 the multitudeG4128 of them that believedG4100 wereG2258 of one heartG2588 andG2532 of oneG3391 soulG5590: neitherG2532+G3761 saidG3004 anyG1520 of them that oughtG5100 of the things which heG846 possessedG5224 wasG1511 his ownG2398; butG235 theyG846 hadG2258 all thingsG537 commonG2839.
NowG1161 there wasG2258 atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329 is calledG3004 DorcasG1393: this womanG3778+G846 wasG2258 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160. {Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe}
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that she was sickG770, and diedG599: whom whenG1161 theyG846 had washedG3068+G846, they laidG5087 her inG1722 an upper chamberG5253.
AndG1161 forasmuch asG5607 LyddaG3069 was nighG1451 to JoppaG2445, and the disciplesG3101 had heardG191 thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG2076 thereG1722+G846, they sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 twoG1417 menG435, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG3635 notG3361 delayG3635 to comeG1330 toG2193 themG846. {delay: or, be grieved}
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went withG4905 themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG5607 withG3326 themG846.
AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4675 prayerG4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are had in remembranceG3415 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141+G5100, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730 inG1722 JudaeaG2449:
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, we doG1107 youG5213 to witG1107 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 bestowedG1325 onG1722 the churchesG1577 of MacedoniaG3109;
How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596+G4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572. {liberality: Gr. simplicity}
ForG3754 toG2596 their powerG1411, I bear recordG3140, yea, andG2532 beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willing of themselvesG830;
PrayingG1189 usG2257 withG3326 muchG4183 intreatyG3874 that weG2248 would receiveG1209 the giftG5485, andG2532 take upon us the fellowshipG2842 of the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40.
ThereforeG235, asG5618 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 everyG3956 thing, in faithG4102, andG2532 utteranceG3056, andG2532 knowledgeG1108, andG2532 in allG3956 diligenceG4710, andG2532 in yourG5216 loveG26+G1537 toG1722 usG2254, see thatG2443 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 thisG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532.
I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26.
ForG1063 ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG3754, though he wasG5607 richG4145, yet forG1223 yourG5209 sakesG1223 he became poorG4433, thatG2443 yeG5210 through hisG1565 povertyG4432 might be richG4147.
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.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
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 we haveG2192 greatG4183 joyG5485 andG2532 consolationG3874 inG1909 thyG4675 loveG26, becauseG3754 the bowelsG4698 of the saintsG40 are refreshedG373 byG1223 theeG4675, brotherG80.
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.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
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.
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 ofG1537 the truthG225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG2257 heartsG2588 beforeG1715 himG846. {assure: Gr. persuade}
