I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962;
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG5209: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361.
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444.
IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as lieth inG1537 youG5216, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
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.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
Querverweise zu Römer 12,11 Röm 12,11
But he saidH559, Ye are idleH7503, ye are idleH7503: therefore ye sayH559, Let us goH3212 and do sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068.
ForG1063 he that is calledG2564 inG1722 the LordG2962, being a servantG1401, isG2076 the Lord'sG2962 freemanG558: likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 he that is calledG2564, being freeG1658, isG2076 Christ'sG5547 servantG1401. {freeman: Gr. made free}
GoH3212 to the antH5244, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 her waysH1870, and be wiseH2449:
Which having no guideH7101, overseerH7860, or rulerH4910,
ProvidethH3559 her meatH3899 in the summerH7019, and gatherethH103 her foodH3978 in the harvestH7105.
How long wilt thou sleepH7901, O sluggardH6102? when wilt thou ariseH6965 out of thy sleepH8142?
This manG3778 wasG2258 instructed inG2727 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962; andG2532 being ferventG2204 in the spiritG4151, he spakeG2980 andG2532 taughtG1321 diligentlyG199 the things ofG4012 the LordG2962, knowingG1987 onlyG3440 the baptismG908 of JohnG2491.
ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 to them that are your mastersG2962 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156, inG1722 singlenessG572 of yourG5216 heartG2588, asG5613 unto ChristG5547;
NotG3361 withG2596 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doingG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 fromG1537 the heartG5590;
WithG3326 good willG2133 doing serviceG1398, as to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 to menG444:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 whatsoeverG3739+G1437+G5100 good thingG18 any manG1538 doethG4160, the sameG5124 shall he receiveG2865 ofG3844 the LordG2962, whetherG1535 he be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658.
As vinegarH2558 to the teethH8127, and as smokeH6227 to the eyesH5869, so is the sluggardH6102 to them that sendH7971 him.
EpaphrasG1889, who is one ofG1537 youG5216, a servantG1401 of ChristG5547, salutethG782 youG5209, alwaysG3842 labouring ferventlyG75 forG5228 youG5216 inG1722 prayersG4335, thatG2443 ye may standG2476 perfectG5046 andG2532 completeG4137 inG1722 allG3956 the willG2307 of GodG2316. {labouring…: or, striving} {complete: or, filled}
ServantsG1401, obeyG5219 inG2596 all thingsG3956 your mastersG2962 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; notG3361 withG1722 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 inG1722 singlenessG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 GodG2316:
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3956+G3748+G1437 ye doG4160, doG2038 it heartilyG1537+G5590, asG5613 to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 unto menG444;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ofG575 the LordG2962 ye shall receiveG618 the rewardG469 of the inheritanceG2817: forG1063 ye serveG1398 the LordG2962 ChristG5547.
The soulH5315 of the sluggardH6102 desirethH183, and hath nothing: but the soulH5315 of the diligentH2742 shall be made fatH1878.
ForG1063 I bearG3140 himG846 recordG3140, thatG3754 he hathG2192 a greatG4183 zealG2205 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 them that are inG1722 LaodiceaG2993, andG2532 them inG1722 HierapolisG2404.
MastersG2962, giveG3930 unto your servantsG1401 that which is justG1342 andG2532 equalG2471; knowingG1492 thatG3754 yeG5210 alsoG2532 haveG2192 a MasterG2962 inG1722 heavenG3772.
He also that is slothfulH7503 in his workH4399 is brotherH251 to him that is a greatH1167 wasterH7843.
ConfessG1843 your faultsG3900 one to anotherG240, andG2532 prayG2172 oneG240 forG5228 anotherG240, thatG3704 ye may be healedG2390. The effectual ferventG1754 prayerG1162 of a righteous manG1342 availethG2480 muchG4183.
Exhort servantsG1401 to be obedientG5293 unto their ownG2398 mastersG1203, and toG1511 please them wellG2101 inG1722 allG3956 things; notG3361 answering againG483; {answering…: or, gainsaying}
SeestH2372 thou a manH376 diligentH4106 in his businessH4399? he shall standH3320 beforeH6440 kingsH4428; he shall not standH3320 beforeH6440 meanH2823 men. {mean…: Heb. obscure men}
Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG5216 soulsG5590 inG1722 obeyingG5218 the truthG225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619:
NotG3361 purloiningG3557, butG235 shewingG1731 allG3956 goodG18 fidelityG4102; thatG2443 they may adornG2885 the doctrineG1319 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
I wentH5674 by the fieldH7704 of the slothfulH376+H6102, and by the vineyardH3754 of the manH120 voidH2638 of understandingH3820;
And, lo, it was all grown overH5927 with thornsH7063, and nettlesH2738 had coveredH3680 the faceH6440 thereof, and the stoneH68 wallH1444 thereof was broken downH2040.
Then I sawH2372, and considered it wellH7896+H3820: I lookedH7200 upon it, and receivedH3947 instructionH4148. {considered…: Heb. set my heart}
Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901:
So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980; and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376. {an…: Heb. a man of shield}
AndG1161 aboveG4253 all thingsG3956 haveG2192 ferventG1618 charityG26 amongG1519 yourselvesG1438: forG3754 charityG26 shall coverG2572 the multitudeG4128 of sinsG266. {shall: or, will}
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
The slothfulH6102 man saithH559, There is a lionH7826 in the wayH1870; a lionH738 is in the streetsH7339.
As the doorH1817 turnethH5437 upon his hingesH6735, so doth the slothfulH6102 upon his bedH4296.
The slothfulH6102 hidethH2934 his handH3027 in his bosomH6747; it grievethH3811 him to bring it againH7725 to his mouthH6310. {it grieveth…: or, he is weary}
The sluggardH6102 is wiserH2450 in his own conceitH5869 than seven menH7651 that can renderH7725 a reasonH2940.
NeverthelessG235 I haveG2192 somewhat againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hast leftG863 thyG4675 firstG4413 loveG26.
Whatsoever thy handH3027 findethH4672 to doH6213, doH6213 it with thy mightH3581; for there is no workH4639, nor deviceH2808, nor knowledgeH1847, nor wisdomH2451, in the graveH7585, whither thou goestH1980.
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, thatG3754 thou artG1488 neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200: I wouldG3785 thou wertG1498 coldG5593 orG2228 hotG2200.
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
SoG3779 then becauseG3754 thou artG1488 lukewarmG5513, andG2532 neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200, I willG3195 spueG1692 theeG4571 out ofG1537 myG3450 mouthG4750.
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:
YeaG1161, ye yourselvesG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 theseG3778 handsG5495 have ministeredG5256 unto myG3450 necessitiesG5532, andG2532 to them that wereG5607 withG3326 meG1700.
I have shewedG5263 youG5213 all thingsG3956, how thatG3754 soG3779 labouringG2872 ye oughtG1163 to supportG482 the weakG770, andG5037 to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, howG3754 heG846 saidG2036, It isG2076 moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.
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}
AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to work withG2038 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213;
ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367. {of…: or, of no man}
NowG1161 we commandG3853 youG5213, brethrenG80, inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that ye withdrawG4724 yourselvesG5209 fromG575 everyG3956 brotherG80 that walkethG4043 disorderlyG814, andG2532 notG3361 afterG2596 the traditionG3862 whichG3739 he receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257.
ForG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 howG4459 ye oughtG1163 to followG3401 usG2248: forG3754 we behavedG812 notG3756 ourselves disorderlyG812 amongG1722 youG5213;
NeitherG3761 did we eatG5315 any man'sG3844+G5100 breadG740 for noughtG1432; butG235 wroughtG2038 withG1722 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, thatG4314 we mightG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 to anyG5100 of youG5216:
NotG3756 becauseG3754 we haveG2192 notG3756 powerG1849, butG235 toG2443 makeG1325 ourselvesG1438 an ensampleG5179 unto youG5213 toG1519 followG3401 usG2248.
ForG1063 evenG2532 whenG3753 we wereG2258 withG4314 youG5209, thisG5124 we commandedG3853 youG5213, thatG3754 if anyG1536 wouldG2309 notG3756 workG2038, neitherG3366 should he eatG2068.
ForG1063 we hearG191 that there are someG5100 which walkG4043 amongG1722 youG5213 disorderlyG814, workingG2038 not at allG3367, butG235 are busybodiesG4020.
NowG1161 them that are suchG5108 we commandG3853 andG2532 exhortG3870 byG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 withG3326 quietnessG2271 they workG2038, and eatG2068 their ownG1438 breadG740.
AndG1161+G2532 withalG260 they learnG3129 to be idleG692, wandering aboutG4022 from house to houseG3614; andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idleG692, butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodiesG4021, speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 notG3361.
