LetG3049 a manG444 soG3779 accountG3049 of usG2248, asG5613 of the ministersG5257 of ChristG5547, andG2532 stewardsG3623 of the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316.
MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103.
ButG1161 with meG1698 it isG2076 a very small thingG1519+G1646 thatG2443 I should be judgedG350 ofG5259 youG5216, orG2228 ofG5259 man'sG442 judgmentG2250: yeaG235, I judgeG350 notG3761 mine own selfG1683. {judgment: Gr. day}
ForG1063 I knowG4894 nothingG3762 by myselfG1683; yetG235 am IG1344 notG3756 herebyG1722+G5129 justifiedG1344: butG1161 he that judgethG350 meG3165 isG2076 the LordG2962. {know: or, I am not conscious of any fault}
ThereforeG5620 judgeG2919 nothingG3361+G5100 beforeG4253 the timeG2540, untilG2193+G302 the LordG2962 comeG2064, whoG3739 bothG2532 will bring to lightG5461 the hidden thingsG2927 of darknessG4655, andG2532 will make manifestG5319 the counselsG1012 of the heartsG2588: andG2532 thenG5119 shall every manG1538 haveG1096 praiseG1868 ofG575 GodG2316.
AndG1161 these thingsG5023, brethrenG80, I have in a figure transferredG3345 toG1519 myselfG1683 andG2532 to ApollosG625 forG1223 your sakesG5209; thatG2443 ye might learnG3129 inG1722 usG2254 notG3361 to thinkG5426 of men aboveG5228 thatG2443 whichG3739 is writtenG1125, that noG3363 oneG1520 of you be puffed upG5448 forG5228 oneG1520 againstG2596 anotherG2087.
ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4571 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983+G1161? now ifG1499 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, asG5613 if thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it? {maketh…: Gr. distinguisheth thee}
NowG2235 ye areG2075 fullG2880, nowG2235 ye are richG4147, ye have reigned as kingsG936 withoutG5565 usG2257: andG2532 I would to GodG3785+G1065 ye did reignG936, thatG2443 weG2249 alsoG2532 might reign withG4821 youG5213.
ForG1063 I thinkG1380 thatG3754 GodG2316 hath set forthG584 usG2248 the apostlesG652 lastG2078, asG5613 it were appointed to deathG1935: forG3754 we are madeG1096 a spectacleG2302 unto the worldG2889, andG2532 to angelsG32, andG2532 to menG444. {spectacle: Gr. theatre}
WeG2249 are foolsG3474 forG1223 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1223, butG1161 yeG5210 are wiseG5429 inG1722 ChristG5547; weG2249 are weakG772, butG1161 yeG5210 are strongG2478; yeG5210 are honourableG1741, butG1161 weG2249 are despisedG820.
EvenG891 unto this presentG737 hourG5610 weG3983 bothG2532 hungerG3983, andG2532 thirstG1372, andG2532 are nakedG1130, andG2532 are buffetedG2852, andG2532 have no certain dwellingplaceG790;
AndG2532 labourG2872, workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495: being reviledG3058, we blessG2127; being persecutedG1377, we suffer itG430:
Being defamedG987, we intreatG3870: we are madeG1096 asG5613 the filthG4027 of the worldG2889, and are the offscouringG4067 of all thingsG3956 untoG2193 this dayG737.
I writeG1125 notG3756 these thingsG5023 to shameG1788 youG5209, butG235 asG5613 myG3450 belovedG27 sonsG5043 I warnG3560 you.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 ye haveG2192 ten thousandG3463 instructorsG3807 inG1722 ChristG5547, yetG235 have ye notG3756 manyG4183 fathersG3962: forG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 IG1473 have begottenG1080 youG5209 throughG1223 the gospelG2098.
WhereforeG3767 I beseechG3870 youG5209, be yeG1096 followersG3402 of meG3450.
ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 have I sentG3992 unto youG5213 TimotheusG5095, whoG3739 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 sonG5043, andG2532 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the LordG2962, whoG3739 shall bringG363 youG5209 into remembranceG363 of myG3450 waysG3598 whichG3588 be inG1722 ChristG5547, asG2531 I teachG1321 every whereG3837 inG1722 everyG3956 churchG1577.
NowG1161 someG5100 are puffed upG5448, as thoughG5613 IG3450 wouldG2064 notG3361 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209.
ButG1161 I will comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 shortlyG5030, ifG1437 the LordG2962 willG2309, andG2532 will knowG1097, notG3756 the speechG3056 of them which are puffed upG5448, butG235 the powerG1411.
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, butG235 inG1722 powerG1411.
WhatG5101 will yeG2309? shall I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 withG1722 a rodG4464, orG2228 inG1722 loveG26, andG5037 in the spiritG4151 of meeknessG4236?

NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;

ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
WhoG5101 thenG3767 isG2076 PaulG3972, andG1161 whoG5101 is ApollosG625, butG235+G2228 ministersG1249 byG1223 whomG3739 ye believedG4100, evenG2532 asG5613 the LordG2962 gaveG1325 to every manG1538?
YourG5216 gloryingG2745 is notG3756 goodG2570. Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 a littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445?
ButG1161 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510: andG2532 hisG846 graceG5485 which was bestowed uponG1519 meG1691 wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756; butG235 I labouredG2872 more abundantlyG4054 than theyG846 allG3956: yetG1161 notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 was withG4862 meG1698.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 that allG3956 menG444 wereG1511 evenG2532 asG5613 I myselfG1683. ButG235 every manG1538 hathG2192 his properG2398 giftG5486 ofG1537 GodG2316, oneG3739+G3303 after this mannerG3779, andG1161 anotherG3739 after thatG3779.
And manyH7227 broughtH935 giftsH4503 unto the LORDH3068 to JerusalemH3389, and presentsH4030 to HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: so that he was magnifiedH5375 in the sightH5869 of all nationsH1471 from thenceforthH310. {presents: Heb. precious things}
In those daysH3117 HezekiahH3169 was sickH2470 to the deathH4191, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068: and he spakeH559 unto him, and he gaveH5414 him a signH4159. {gave…: or, wrought a miracle for him}
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
Notwithstanding HezekiahH3169 humbledH3665 himself for the prideH1363 of his heartH3820, both he and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, so that the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 not upon them in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH3169. {pride: Heb. lifting up}
And HezekiahH3169 had exceedingH3966 muchH7235 richesH6239 and honourH3519: and he madeH6213 himself treasuriesH214 for silverH3701, and for goldH2091, and for preciousH3368 stonesH68, and for spicesH1314, and for shieldsH4043, and for all manner of pleasantH2532 jewelsH3627; {pleasant…: Heb. instruments of desire}
StorehousesH4543 also for the increaseH8393 of cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323; and stallsH723 for all manner of beastsH929, and cotesH220 for flocksH5739.
Moreover he providedH6213 him citiesH5892, and possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 in abundanceH7230: for GodH430 had givenH5414 him substanceH7399 veryH3966 muchH7227.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own.
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the princeH5057 of TyrusH6865, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thine heartH3820 is lifted upH1361, and thou hast saidH559, I am a GodH410, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of GodH430, in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220; yet thou art a manH120, and not GodH410, though thou setH5414 thine heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430: {midst: Heb. heart}
Behold, thou art wiserH2450 than DanielH1840; there is no secretH5640 that they can hideH6004 from thee:
With thy wisdomH2451 and with thine understandingH8394 thou hast gottenH6213 thee richesH2428, and hast gottenH6213 goldH2091 and silverH3701 into thy treasuresH214:
By thy greatH7230 wisdomH2451 and by thy traffickH7404 hast thou increasedH7235 thy richesH2428, and thine heartH3824 is lifted upH1361 because of thy richesH2428: {thy great…: Heb. the greatness of thy wisdom}
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
In that nightH3915 did GodH430 appearH7200 unto SolomonH8010, and saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto GodH430, Thou hast shewedH6213 greatH1419 mercyH2617 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast made me to reignH4427 in his stead.
Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227. {like…: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419?
And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thine heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427:
WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is grantedH5414 unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
SpeakH1696, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, the greatH1419 dragonH8577 that liethH7257 in the midstH8432 of his riversH2975, which hath saidH559, My riverH2975 is mine own, and I have madeH6213 it for myself.
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
For the LORDH3068 givethH5414 wisdomH2451: out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394.
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
WhileH5751 the wordH4406 was in the king'sH4430 mouthH6433, there fellH5308 a voiceH7032 fromH4481 heavenH8065, saying, O kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to thee it is spokenH560; The kingdomH4437 is departedH5709 fromH4481 thee.
And they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251: they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, untilH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
AndG2532 I thankG2192+G5485 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962, whoG3588 hath enabledG1743 meG3165, forG3754 that he countedG2233 meG3165 faithfulG4103, putting meG5087 intoG1519 the ministryG1248;
WhoG3588 wasG5607 beforeG4386 a blasphemerG989, andG2532 a persecutorG1376, andG2532 injuriousG5197: butG235 I obtained mercyG1653, becauseG3754 I didG4160 it ignorantlyG50 inG1722 unbeliefG570.
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.
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.
O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923:
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
