InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
InG1722 himG846 wasG2258 lifeG2222; andG2532 the lifeG2222 wasG2258 the lightG5457 of menG444.
AndG2532 the lightG5457 shinethG5316 inG1722 darknessG4653; andG2532 the darknessG4653 comprehendedG2638 itG846 notG3756. {comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive}
There wasG1096 a manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491.
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
He wasG2258 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG5457, butG235 was sent toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 that LightG5457.
That wasG2258 the trueG228 LightG5457, whichG3739 lightethG5461 every manG3956+G444 that comethG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
He wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 the worldG2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 the worldG2889 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756.
He cameG2064 untoG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 his ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756.
ButG1161 as many asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 was heG2258 of whomG3739 I spakeG2036, He that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771?
AndG2532 he confessedG3670, andG2532 deniedG720 notG3756; butG2532 confessedG3670+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 thenG3767? ArtG1488 thouG4771 EliasG2243? AndG2532 he saithG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. ArtG1488 thouG4771 that prophetG4396? AndG2532 he answeredG611, NoG3756. {that prophet: or, a prophet?}
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 unto himG846, WhoG5101 art thouG1488? thatG2443 we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to them that sentG3992 usG2248. WhatG5101 sayest thouG3004 ofG4012 thyselfG4572?
He saidG5346, IG1473 am the voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Make straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, asG2531 saidG2036 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268.
AndG2532 they whichG3588 were sentG649 wereG2258 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG5101 baptizest thouG907 thenG3767, ifG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 notG3756 that ChristG5547, norG3777 EliasG2243, neitherG3777 that prophetG4396?
JohnG2491 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204: butG1161 there standeth oneG2476 amongG3319 youG5216, whomG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756;
HeG846 it isG2076, whoG3739 comingG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450, whoseG3739+G846 shoe'sG5266 latchetG2438 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 unlooseG3089.
These thingsG5023 were doneG1096 inG1722 BethabaraG962 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG2258 baptizingG907.
The next dayG1887 JohnG2491 seethG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316, whichG3588 taketh awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889. {taketh away: or, beareth}
ThisG3778 is heG2076 ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036, AfterG3694 meG3450 comethG2064 a manG435 whichG3739 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 thatG2443 he should be made manifestG5319 to IsraelG2474, thereforeG1223+G5124 amG2064 IG1473 comeG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG5204.
AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004+G3754, I sawG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AgainG3825 the next day afterG1887 JohnG2491 stoodG2476, andG2532 twoG1417 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101;
AndG2532 looking uponG1689 JesusG2424 as he walkedG4043, he saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316!
AndG2532 the twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 himG846 speakG2980, andG2532 they followedG190 JesusG2424.
ThenG1161 JesusG2424 turnedG4762, andG2532 sawG2300 themG846 followingG190, and saithG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 seek yeG2212+G1161? They saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, (whichG3739 is to sayG3004, being interpretedG2059, MasterG1320,) whereG4226 dwellest thouG3306? {dwellest: or, abidest}
He saithG3004 unto themG846, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492. They cameG2064 andG2532 sawG1492 whereG4226 he dweltG3306, andG2532 abodeG3306 withG3844 himG846 thatG1565 dayG2250: forG1161 it wasG2258 aboutG5613 the tenthG1182 hourG5610. {about…: that was two hours before night}
OneG1520 ofG1537 the twoG1417 whichG3588 heardG191+G3844 JohnG2491 speak, andG2532 followedG190 himG846, wasG2258 AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter'sG4074 brotherG80.
HeG3778 firstG4413 findethG2147 his ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, We have foundG2147 the MessiasG3323, whichG3739 isG2076, being interpretedG3177, the ChristG5547. {the Christ: or, the Anointed}
AndG2532 he broughtG71 himG846 toG4314 JesusG2424. AndG1161 when JesusG2424 beheldG1689 himG846, he saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 SimonG4613 the sonG5207 of JonaG2495: thouG4771 shalt be calledG2564 CephasG2786, whichG3739 is by interpretationG2059, A stoneG4074.
The day followingG1887 JesusG2424 wouldG2309 go forthG1831 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, andG2532 findethG2147 PhilipG5376, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, FollowG190 meG3427.
NowG1161 PhilipG5376 wasG2258 ofG575 BethsaidaG966, the cityG4172 ofG1537 AndrewG406 andG2532 PeterG4074.
PhilipG5376 findethG2147 NathanaelG3482, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, We have foundG2147 him, of whomG3739 MosesG3475 inG1722 the lawG3551, andG2532 the prophetsG4396, did writeG1125, JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501.
AndG2532 NathanaelG3482 saidG2036 unto himG846, CanG1410 there anyG5100 good thingG18 comeG1511 out ofG1537 NazarethG3478? PhilipG5376 saithG3004 unto himG846, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492.
JesusG2424 sawG1492 NathanaelG3482 comingG2064 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004 ofG4012 himG846, BeholdG2396 an IsraeliteG2475 indeedG230, inG1722 whomG3739 isG2076 noG3756 guileG1388!
NathanaelG3482 saithG3004 unto himG846, WhenceG4159 knowest thouG1097 meG3165? JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeforeG4253 that PhilipG5376 calledG5455 theeG4571, when thou wastG5607 underG5259 the fig treeG4808, I sawG1492 theeG4571.
NathanaelG3482 answeredG611 andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, thouG4771 artG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316; thouG4771 artG1488 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, I sawG1492 theeG4571 underG5270 the fig treeG4808, believest thouG4100? thou shalt seeG3700 greater thingsG3187 than theseG5130.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, HereafterG737+G575 ye shall seeG3700 heavenG3772 openG455, andG2532 the angelsG32 of GodG2316 ascendingG305 andG2532 descendingG2597 uponG1909 the SonG5207 of manG444.
Querverweise zu Johannes 1,14 Joh 1,14
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
ThisG5026 beginningG746 of miraclesG4592 didG4160 JesusG2424 inG1722 CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056, andG2532 manifested forthG5319 hisG846 gloryG1391; andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846.
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, Said IG2036 notG3756 unto theeG4671, thatG3754, ifG1437 thou wouldest believeG4100, thou shouldest seeG3700 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316?
ForG1063 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 the worldG2889, thatG5620 he gaveG1325 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3361 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 JacobG2384 begatG1080 JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, ofG1537 whomG3739 was bornG1080 JesusG2424, whoG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547.
He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 himG846 isG2919 notG3756 condemnedG2919: butG1161 he that believethG4100 notG3361 is condemnedG2919 alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he hathG4100 notG3361 believedG4100 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the only begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316.
Thou art fairerH3302 than the childrenH1121 of menH120: graceH2580 is pouredH3332 into thy lipsH8193: therefore GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee for everH5769.
ButG1161 while heG846 thought onG1760 these thingsG5023, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 unto himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 notG3361 to takeG3880 unto theeG4675 MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: forG1063 that which is conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG2076 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {conceived: Gr. begotten}
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
NowG1161 allG3650 thisG5124 was doneG1096, thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
BeholdG2400, a virginG3933 shall be with childG1722+G1064+G2192, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG2076, GodG2316 withG3326 usG2257. {they…: or, his name shall be called}
These thingsG5023 saidG2036 EsaiasG2268, whenG3753 he sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thou shalt conceiveG4815 inG1722 thy wombG1064, andG2532 bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 MaryG3137 untoG4314 the angelG32, HowG4459 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071, seeingG1893 I knowG1097 notG3756 a manG435?
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, Have I beenG1510 so longG5118 timeG5550 withG3326 youG5216, and yetG2532 hast thouG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 meG3165, PhilipG5376? he that hath seenG3708 meG1691 hath seenG3708 the FatherG3962; andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771 then, ShewG1166 usG2254 the FatherG3962?
GodG2316 hath fulfilledG1603 the sameG5026 unto usG2254 theirG846 childrenG5043, in that he hath raised upG450 JesusG2424 againG450; asG5613 it isG1125 alsoG2532 writtenG1125 inG1722 the secondG1208 psalmG5568, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 have IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 she brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207, andG2532 wrappedG4683 himG846 in swaddling clothesG4683, andG2532 laidG347 himG846 inG1722 a mangerG5336; becauseG1360 there wasG2258 noG3756 roomG5117 for themG846 inG1722 the innG2646.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
ForG1063 unto whichG5101 of the angelsG32 said heG2036 at any timeG4218, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571? AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 will beG2071 toG1519 himG846 a FatherG3962, andG2532 heG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a SonG5207?
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.
For he shall grow upH5927 beforeH6440 him as a tender plantH3126, and as a rootH8328 out of a dryH6723 groundH776: he hath no formH8389 nor comelinessH1926; and when we shall seeH7200 him, there is no beautyH4758 that we should desireH2530 him.
SoG3779 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 glorifiedG1392 notG3756 himselfG1438 to be madeG1096 an high priestG749; butG235 he that saidG2980 untoG4314 himG846, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, to dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
ConcerningG4012 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, whichG3588 was madeG1096 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561;
AriseH6965, shineH215; for thy lightH216 is comeH935, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 is risenH2224 upon thee. {shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
InG1722 thisG5129 was manifestedG5319 the loveG26 of GodG2316 towardG1722 usG2254, becauseG3754 that GodG2316 sentG649 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 himG846.
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
For, behold, the darknessH2822 shall coverH3680 the earthH776, and gross darknessH6205 the peopleH3816: but the LORDH3068 shall ariseH2224 upon thee, and his gloryH3519 shall be seenH7200 upon thee.
InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. {In whom: or, Wherein}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
AndG2532 afterG3326 sixG1803 daysG2250 JesusG2424 takethG3880 PeterG4074+G2532, JamesG2385, andG2532 JohnG2491 hisG846 brotherG80, andG2532 bringethG399 themG846 upG399 intoG1519 an highG5308 mountainG3735 apartG2596+G2398,
AndG2532 was transfiguredG3339 beforeG1715 themG846: andG2532 hisG846 faceG4383 did shineG2989 asG5613 the sunG2246, andG1161 hisG846 raimentG2440 wasG1096 whiteG3022 asG5613 the lightG5457.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there appearedG3700 unto themG846 MosesG3475 andG2532 EliasG2243 talkingG4814 withG3326 himG846.
ThenG1161 answeredG611 PeterG4074, and saidG2036 unto JesusG2424, LordG2962, it isG2076 goodG2570 for usG2248 to beG1511 hereG5602: ifG1487 thou wiltG2309, let us makeG4160 hereG5602 threeG5140 tabernaclesG4633; oneG3391 for theeG4671, andG2532 oneG3391 for MosesG3475, andG2532 oneG3391 for EliasG2243.
While heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, beholdG2400, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 themG846: andG2532 beholdG2400 a voiceG5456 out ofG1537 the cloudG3507, which saidG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106; hear yeG191 himG846.
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
InG1722 whomG3739 the godG2316 of thisG5127 worldG165 hath blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of them which believe notG571, lestG1519+G3361 the lightG5462 of the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of GodG2316, should shineG826 unto themG846.
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}
AndG1161 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 was exceeding abundantG5250 withG3326 faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594, thatG3754 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889 to saveG4982 sinnersG268; of whomG3739 IG1473 amG1510 chiefG4413.
HowbeitG235 for thisG5124 causeG1223 I obtained mercyG1653, thatG2443 inG1722 meG1698 firstG4413 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might shew forthG1731 allG3956 longsufferingG3115, forG4314 a patternG5296 to them which should hereafterG3195 believeG4100 onG1909 himG846 toG1519 lifeG2222 everlastingG166.
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
WhoG3739, beingG5225 inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233 notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1511 equalG2470 with GodG2316:
ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
AndG2532 being foundG2147 in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013 himselfG1438, and becameG1096 obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716. {fashion: or habit}
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 he receivedG2983 fromG3844 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, when there cameG5342 suchG5107 a voiceG5456 to himG846 fromG5259 the excellentG3169 gloryG1391, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1519 whomG3739 IG1473 am well pleasedG2106.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
That whichG3739 wasG2258 fromG575 the beginningG746, whichG3739 we have heardG191, whichG3739 we have seenG3708 with ourG2257 eyesG3788, whichG3739 we have looked uponG2300, andG2532 ourG2257 handsG5495 have handledG5584, ofG4012 the WordG3056 of lifeG2222;
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
(ForG2532 the lifeG2222 was manifestedG5319, andG2532 we have seenG3708 it, andG2532 bear witnessG3140, andG2532 shewG518 unto youG5213 that eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3748 wasG2258 withG4314 the FatherG3962, andG2532 was manifestedG5319 unto usG2254;)
WhereforeG1352 when he comethG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, he saithG3004, SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756, butG1161 a bodyG4983 hast thou preparedG2675 meG3427: {hast…: or, thou hast fitted me}
HerebyG1722+G5129 know yeG1097 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: EveryG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316:
AndG2532 everyG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 notG3361 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 thisG5124 isG2076 that spirit of antichristG500, whereofG3739 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it should comeG2064; and evenG2532 nowG3568 alreadyG2235 is itG2076 inG1722 the worldG2889.
