AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, asG1722 heG846 wasG1511 prayingG4336 inG1722 a certainG5100 placeG5117, whenG5613 he ceasedG3973, oneG5100 of hisG846 disciplesG3101 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, LordG2962, teachG1321 usG2248 to prayG4336, asG2531 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 taughtG1321 hisG846 disciplesG3101.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, WhenG3752 ye prayG4336, sayG3004, OurG2257 FatherG3962 whichG3588 art inG1722 heavenG3772, Hallowed beG37 thyG4675 nameG3686. ThyG4675 kingdomG932 comeG2064. ThyG4675 willG2307 be doneG1096, asG5613 inG1722 heavenG3772, soG2532 inG1909 earthG1093.
GiveG1325 usG2254 dayG2596 by dayG2250 ourG2257 dailyG1967 breadG740. {day by day: or, for the day}
AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG2254 ourG2257 sinsG266; forG1063 weG846 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 every oneG3956 that is indebtedG3784 to usG2254. AndG2532 leadG1533 usG2248 notG3361 intoG1519 temptationG3986; butG235 deliverG4506 usG2248 fromG575 evilG4190.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, WhichG5101 ofG1537 youG5216 shall haveG2192 a friendG5384, andG2532 shall goG4198 untoG4314 himG846 at midnightG3317, andG2532 sayG2036 unto himG846, FriendG5384, lendG5531 meG3427 threeG5140 loavesG740;
ForG1894 a friendG5384 of mineG3450 inG1537 his journeyG3598 is comeG3854 toG4314 meG3165, andG2532 I haveG2192 nothingG3756+G3739 to set beforeG3908 himG846? {in…: or, out of his way}
And heG2548 from withinG2081 shall answerG611 and sayG2036, TroubleG2873+G3930 meG3427 notG3361: the doorG2374 isG2808 nowG2235 shutG2808, andG2532 myG3450 childrenG3813 areG1526 withG3326 meG1700 inG1519 bedG2845; I cannotG3756+G1410 riseG450 and giveG1325 theeG4671.
I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThoughG1499 he willG1453 notG3756 riseG1453 and giveG1325 himG846, becauseG1223 he isG1511 hisG846 friendG5384, yetG1065 becauseG1223 of hisG846 importunityG335 he will riseG450 and giveG1325 himG846 as many asG3745 he needethG5535.
AndG2504 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AskG154, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 youG5213; seekG2212, andG2532 ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 it shall be openedG455 unto youG5213.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that askethG154 receivethG2983; andG2532 he that seekethG2212 findethG2147; andG2532 to him that knockethG2925 it shall be openedG455.
IfG1161 a sonG5207 shall askG154 breadG740 of any of youG5216 that is a fatherG3962+G5101, will he giveG1929+G3361 himG846 a stoneG3037? orG1499 if he ask a fishG2486, will heG1929 forG473 a fishG2486 giveG1929+G3361 himG846 a serpentG3789?
OrG2228+G2532 ifG1437 he shall askG154 an eggG5609, will he offerG3361+G1929 himG846 a scorpionG4651? {offer: Gr. give}
IfG1487 yeG5210 thenG3767, beingG5225 evilG4190, knowG1492 how to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 unto yourG5216 childrenG5043: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG1325 your heavenlyG3772 FatherG3962+G1537 giveG1325 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to them that askG154 himG846?
AndG2532 he wasG2258 casting outG1544 a devilG1140, andG2532 itG846 wasG2258 dumbG2974. AndG1161 it came to passG1096, when the devilG1140 was gone outG1831, the dumbG2974 spakeG2980; andG2532 the peopleG3793 wonderedG2296.
ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 saidG2036, He casteth outG1544 devilsG1140 throughG1722 BeelzebubG954 the chiefG758 of the devilsG1140. {Beelzebub: Gr. Beelzebul}
AndG1161 othersG2087, temptingG3985 him, soughtG2212 ofG3844 himG846 a signG4592 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
ButG1161 heG846, knowingG1492 theirG846 thoughtsG1270, saidG2036 unto themG846, EveryG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG1266 againstG1909 itselfG1438 is brought to desolationG2049; andG2532 a houseG3624 divided againstG1909 a houseG3624 fallethG4098.
IfG1161+G1499 SatanG4567 alsoG1499 be dividedG1266 againstG1909 himselfG1438, howG4459 shallG2476 hisG846 kingdomG932 standG2476? becauseG3754 ye sayG3004 that IG3165 cast outG1544 devilsG1140 throughG1722 BeelzebubG954.
AndG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 byG1722 BeelzebubG954 cast outG1544 devilsG1140, byG1722 whomG5101 doG1544 yourG5216 sonsG5207 cast them outG1544? thereforeG1223+G5124 shall theyG846 beG2071 yourG5216 judgesG2923.
ButG1161 ifG1487 I withG1722 the fingerG1147 of GodG2316 cast outG1544 devilsG1140, no doubtG686 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is comeG5348 uponG1909 youG5209.
WhenG3752 a strong manG2478 armedG2528 keepethG5442 hisG833 palaceG1438, hisG846 goodsG5224 areG2076 inG1722 peaceG1515:
ButG1161 whenG1875 a strongerG2478 than heG846 shall come upon himG1904, and overcomeG3528 himG846, he takethG142 from himG846 all his armourG3833 whereinG1909+G3739 he trustedG3982, andG2532 dividethG1239 hisG846 spoilsG4661.
He that isG5607 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 isG2076 againstG2596 meG1700: andG2532 he that gatherethG4863 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 scatterethG4650.
WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 is goneG1831 out ofG575 a manG444, he walkethG1330 throughG1223 dryG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372; andG2532 findingG2147 noneG3361, he saithG3004, I will returnG5290 untoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624 whenceG3606 I came outG1831.
AndG2532 when he comethG2064, he findethG2147 it sweptG4563 andG2532 garnishedG2885.
ThenG5119 goeth heG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 to him sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4191 than himselfG1438; andG2532 they enter inG1525, and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state of thatG1565 manG444 isG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, asG1722 heG846 spakeG3004 these thingsG5023, a certainG5100 womanG1135 ofG1537 the companyG3793 lifted upG1869 her voiceG5456, and saidG2036 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 is the wombG2836 that bareG941 theeG4571, andG2532 the papsG3149 whichG3739 thou hast suckedG2337.
ButG1161 heG846 saidG2036, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846.
AndG1161 when the peopleG3793 were gathered thick togetherG1865, he beganG756 to sayG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 an evilG4190 generationG1074: they seekG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of JonasG2495 the prophetG4396.
ForG1063 asG2531 JonasG2495 wasG1096 a signG4592 unto the NinevitesG3536, soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 to thisG5026 generationG1074.
The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 the menG435 of thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 condemnG2632 themG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the utmost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.
The menG435 of NineveG3535 shall rise upG450 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG2782 of JonasG2495; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 JonasG2495 is hereG5602.
No manG3762, when he hath lightedG681 a candleG3088, puttethG5087 it inG1519 a secret placeG2926, neitherG3761 underG5259 a bushelG3426, butG235 onG1909 a candlestickG3087, thatG2443 they whichG3588 come inG1531 may seeG991 the lightG5338.
The lightG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG2076 the eyeG3788: thereforeG3767 whenG1875 thineG4675 eyeG3788 isG5600 singleG573, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG2076 full of lightG5460; butG1161 whenG3752 thine eye isG5600 evilG4190, thyG4675 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is full of darknessG4652.
Take heedG4648 thereforeG3767 that the lightG5457 whichG3588 is inG1722 theeG4671 beG2076 notG3361 darknessG4655.
IfG1487 thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 thereforeG3767 be full of lightG5460, havingG2192 noG3361+G5100 partG3313 darkG4652, the wholeG3650 shall beG2071 full of lightG5460, asG5613 whenG3752 the bright shiningG796 of a candleG3088 doth giveG5461 theeG4571 lightG5461. {the bright…: Gr. a candle by its bright shining}
AndG1161 asG1722 he spakeG2980, a certainG5100 PhariseeG5330 besoughtG2065 himG846 toG3704 dineG709 withG3844 himG846: andG1161 he went inG1525, and sat down to meatG377.
AndG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 sawG1492 it, he marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he hadG907 notG3756 firstG4412 washedG907 beforeG4253 dinnerG712.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, NowG3568 doG2511 yeG5210 PhariseesG5330 make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 the platterG4094; butG1161 yourG5216 inward partG2081 is fullG1073 of raveningG724 andG2532 wickednessG4189.
Ye foolsG878, didG4160 notG3756 he that madeG4160 that whichG3588 is withoutG1855 makeG4160 that whichG3588 is withinG2081 alsoG2532?
But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG2076 cleanG2513 unto youG5213. {of…: or, as you are able}
ButG235 woeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG2238 andG2532 rueG4076 andG2532 all mannerG3956 of herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 judgmentG2920 andG2532 the loveG26 of GodG2316: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye loveG25 the uppermost seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG58.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye areG2075 asG5613 gravesG3419 whichG3588 appear notG82, andG2532 the menG444 that walkG4043 overG1883 them areG1492 notG3756 awareG1492 of them.
ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, thusG5023 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG2248 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WoeG3759 unto youG5213 alsoG2532, ye lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye ladeG5412 menG444 with burdensG5413 grievous to be borneG1419, andG2532 ye yourselvesG846 touchG4379 notG3756 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of yourG5216 fingersG1147.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213! forG3754 ye buildG3618 the sepulchresG3419 of the prophetsG4396, andG1161 yourG5216 fathersG3962 killedG615 themG846.
TrulyG686 ye bear witnessG3140 thatG2532 ye allowG4909 the deedsG2041 of yourG5216 fathersG3962: forG3754 theyG846 indeedG3303 killedG615 themG846, andG1161 yeG5210 buildG3618 theirG846 sepulchresG3419.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 alsoG2532 saidG2036 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316, I will sendG649+G1519 themG846 prophetsG4396 andG2532 apostlesG652, andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 they shall slayG615 andG2532 persecuteG1559:
ThatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, whichG3588 was shedG1632 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074;
FromG575 the bloodG129 of AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197, whichG3588 perishedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 andG2532 the templeG3624: verilyG3483 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, It shall be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye have taken awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108: ye enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 yourselvesG846, andG2532 them that were entering inG1525 ye hinderedG2967. {hindered: or, forbad}
AndG1161 as heG846 saidG3004 these thingsG5023 untoG4314 themG846, the scribesG1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 beganG756 to urgeG1758 him vehementlyG1171, andG2532 to provokeG653 himG846 to speakG653 ofG4012 many thingsG4119:
Laying wait forG1748 himG846, andG2532 seekingG2212 to catchG2340 somethingG5100 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750, thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846.
Querverweise zu Lukas 11,41 Lk 11,41
SellG4453 that yeG5216 haveG5224, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825+G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
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.
I knowG1492, andG2532 am persuadedG3982 byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG3754 there is nothingG3762 uncleanG2839 ofG1223 itselfG1438: butG1508 to him that esteemethG3049 any thingG5100 to beG1511 uncleanG2839, to himG1565 it is uncleanG2839. {unclean: Gr. common}
ButG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 brotherG80 be grievedG3076 withG1223 thy meatG1033, nowG3765 walkest thouG4043 notG3765 charitablyG26+G2596. DestroyG622 notG3361 himG1565 with thyG4675 meatG1033, forG5228 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}
Let notG3361 thenG3767 yourG5216 goodG18 be evil spoken ofG987:
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 he that inG1722 these thingsG5125 servethG1398 ChristG5547 is acceptableG2101 to GodG2316, andG2532 approvedG1384 of menG444.
And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633. {mammon: or, riches}
ForG3754 everyG3956 creatureG2938 of GodG2316 is goodG2570, andG2532 nothingG3762 to be refusedG579, if it be receivedG2983 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169:
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 these thingsG5023, he saidG2036 unto himG846, YetG2089 lackestG3007 thouG4671 oneG1520 thing: sellG4453 allG3956 thatG3745 thou hastG2192, andG2532 distributeG1239 unto the poorG4434, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 comeG1204, followG190 meG3427.
AndG1161 ZacchaeusG2195 stoodG2476, and saidG2036 untoG4314 the LordG2962; BeholdG2400, LordG2962, the halfG2255 of myG3450 goodsG5224 I giveG1325 to the poorG4434; andG2532 ifG1536 I have takenG4811 any thingG1536 from any manG5100 by false accusationG4811, I restoreG591 him fourfoldG5073.
Unto the pureG2513 all thingsG3956 are pureG3303+G2513: butG1161 unto them that are defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pureG2513; butG235 evenG2532 theirG846 mindG3563 andG2532 conscienceG4893 is defiledG3392.
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.

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.
He also shall be my salvationH3444: for an hypocriteH2611 shall not comeH935 beforeH6440 him.
HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and my declarationH262 with your earsH241.
Behold now, I have orderedH6186 my causeH4941; I knowH3045 that I shall be justifiedH6663.
Who is he that will pleadH7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongueH2790, I shall give up the ghostH1478.
Only doH6213 not twoH8147 things unto me: then will I not hideH5641 myself from theeH6440.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. BlessedH835 is he that considerethH7919 the poorH1800: the LORDH3068 will deliverH4422 him in timeH3117 of troubleH7451. {the poor: or, the weak, or, sick} {in time…: Heb. in the day of evil}
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
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}
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}
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 him that askethG154 theeG4571, andG2532 from him that wouldG2309 borrowG1155 ofG575 theeG4675 turnG654 notG3361 thou awayG654.
Take heedG4337 that ye doG4160 notG3361 yourG5216 almsG1654 beforeG1715 menG444, to be seenG4314+G2300 of themG846: otherwiseG1490 ye haveG2192 noG3756 rewardG3408 ofG3844 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. {alms: or, righteousness} {of your: or, with your}
ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 thou doestG4160 thine almsG1654, doG4537 notG3361 sound a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 theeG4675, asG5618 the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 the streetsG4505, thatG3704 they may have gloryG1392 ofG5259 menG444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. {do not…: or, cause not a trumpet to be sounded}
ButG1161 when thouG4675 doestG4160 almsG1654, letG1097 notG3361 thyG4675 left handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 thyG4675 right handG1188 doethG4160:
ThatG3704 thineG4675 almsG1654 may beG5600 inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927 himselfG846 shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
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.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
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.
SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 of one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4671.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141+G5100, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730 inG1722 JudaeaG2449:
NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854 to bringG4160 almsG1654 toG1519 myG3450 nationG1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376.
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.
ForG1063 if thereG1487 be firstG4295 a willing mindG4288, it is acceptedG2144 according toG2526 thatG1437 a manG5100 hathG2192, and notG3756 according to thatG2526 he hathG2192 notG3756.
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.
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}
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.
WhatG5101 doth it profitG3786, myG3450 brethrenG80, thoughG1437 a manG5100 sayG3004 he hathG2192 faithG4102, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 worksG2041? canG1410+G3361 faithG4102 saveG4982 himG846?
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?
