PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimothyG5095 our brotherG80, unto the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882, withG4862 allG3956 the saintsG40 whichG3588 areG5607 inG1722 allG3650 AchaiaG882:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874;
WhoG3588 comfortethG3870 usG2248 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 tribulationG2347, thatG1519 weG2248 may be ableG1410 to comfortG3870 them which are inG1722 anyG3956 troubleG2347, byG1223 the comfortG3874 wherewithG3739 weG3870 ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ForG3754 asG2531 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 aboundG4052 inG1519 usG2248, soG3779 ourG2257 consolationG3874 alsoG2532 aboundethG4052 byG1223 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 whetherG1535 we be afflictedG2346, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991, whichG3588 is effectualG1754 inG1722 the enduringG5281 of the sameG846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 weG2249 alsoG2532 sufferG3958: or whetherG1535 we be comfortedG3870, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991. {is effectual: or, is wrought}
AndG2532 ourG2257 hopeG1680 ofG5228 youG5216 is stedfastG949, knowingG1492, thatG3754 asG5618 ye areG2075 partakersG2844 of the sufferingsG3804, soG3779 shall ye be alsoG2532 of the consolationG3874.
ForG1063 we wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50 ofG5228 ourG2257 troubleG2347 whichG3588 cameG1096 to usG2254 inG1722 AsiaG773, thatG3754 we were pressedG2596 outG916 of measureG5236, aboveG5228 strengthG1411, insomuchG5620 that weG2248 despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198:
ButG235+G846 we hadG2192 the sentenceG610 of deathG2288 inG1722 ourselvesG1438, thatG3363 we shouldG3982 notG3363 trustG3982 inG1909 ourselvesG1438+G5600, butG235 inG1909 GodG2316 whichG3588 raisethG1453 the deadG3498: {sentence: or, answer}
WhoG3739 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 so greatG5082 a deathG2288, andG2532 doth deliverG4506: inG1519 whomG3739 we trustG1679 thatG3754 he willG4506+G2532 yetG2089 deliverG4506 us;
YeG5216 alsoG2532 helping togetherG4943 by prayerG1162 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 for the giftG5486 bestowed uponG1519 usG2248 byG1537 the means of manyG4183 personsG4383 thanks may beG2168 givenG5228 byG1223 manyG4183 on our behalfG2257.
ForG1063 ourG2257 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 thisG3778, the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 conscienceG4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG390 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4056 toG4314 you-wardG5209.
ForG1063 we writeG1125 noneG3756 other thingsG243 unto youG5213, thanG235+G2228 whatG3739 ye readG314 orG2228+G2532 acknowledgeG1921; andG1161 I trustG1679+G3754 ye shall acknowledgeG1921 evenG2532 toG2193 the endG5056;
AsG2531 alsoG2532 ye have acknowledgedG1921 usG2248 inG575 partG3313, thatG3754 we areG2070 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745, even asG2509 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are oursG2257 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 in thisG5026 confidenceG4006 I was mindedG1014 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 beforeG4386, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 a secondG1208 benefitG5485; {benefit: or, grace}
AndG2532 to passG1330 byG1223 youG5216 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, andG2532 to comeG2064 againG3825 out ofG575 MacedoniaG3109 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 ofG5259 youG5216 to be brought on my wayG4311 towardG1519 JudaeaG2449.
When IG1011 thereforeG3767 wasG1011 thusG5124 mindedG1011, did I useG3385+G686+G5530 lightnessG1644? orG2228 the things thatG3739 I purposeG1011, do I purposeG1011 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, thatG2443 withG3844 meG1698 there should beG5600 yeaG3483 yeaG3483, andG2532 nayG3756 nayG3756?
ButG1161 as GodG2316 is trueG4103+G3754, ourG2257 wordG3056 towardG4314 youG5209 wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756. {word: or, preaching}
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 was preachedG2784 amongG1722 youG5213 byG1223 usG2257, even byG1223 meG1700 andG2532 SilvanusG4610 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756, butG235 inG1722 himG846 wasG1096 yeaG3483.
ForG1063 allG3745 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846 are yeaG3483, andG2532 inG1722 himG846 AmenG281, untoG4314 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 byG1223 usG2257.
NowG1161 he which stablishethG950 usG2248 withG4862 youG5213 inG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath anointedG5548 usG2248, is GodG2316;
WhoG3588 hathG4972 alsoG2532 sealedG4972 usG2248, andG2532 givenG1325 the earnestG728 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
MoreoverG1161 IG1473 callG1941 GodG2316 for a recordG3144 uponG1909 myG1699 soulG5590, thatG3754 to spareG5339 youG5216 I cameG2064 not as yetG3765 untoG1519 CorinthG2882.
NotG3756 for thatG3754 we have dominion overG2961 yourG5216 faithG4102, butG235 areG2070 helpersG4904 of yourG5216 joyG5479: forG1063 by faithG4102 ye standG2476.

ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}
ButG1161 I fearG5399, lestG3381 by any meansG4458, asG5613 the serpentG3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3834, soG3779 yourG5216 mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG572 that is inG1519 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 we areG2070 notG3756 asG5613 manyG4183, which corruptG2585 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 sincerityG1505, butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 GodG2316, in the sightG2714 of GodG2316 speak weG2980 inG1722 ChristG5547. {corrupt: or, deal deceitfully with} {in Christ: or, of Christ}
When IG1011 thereforeG3767 wasG1011 thusG5124 mindedG1011, did I useG3385+G686+G5530 lightnessG1644? orG2228 the things thatG3739 I purposeG1011, do I purposeG1011 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, thatG2443 withG3844 meG1698 there should beG5600 yeaG3483 yeaG3483, andG2532 nayG3756 nayG3756?
But he knowethH3045 the wayH1870 that I takeH5978: when he hath triedH974 me, I shall come forthH3318 as goldH2091. {that…: Heb. that is with me}
My footH7272 hath heldH270 his stepsH838, his wayH1870 have I keptH8104, and not declinedH5186.
Neither have I gone backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food. {esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid up} {my…: or, my appointed portion}
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26.
ButG235 have renouncedG550 the hidden thingsG2927 of dishonestyG152, notG3361 walkingG4043 inG1722 craftinessG3834, norG3366 handlingG1389 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 deceitfullyG1389; butG235 by manifestationG5321 of the truthG225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 toG4314 everyG3956 man'sG444 conscienceG4893 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. {dishonesty: Gr. shame}
God forbidH2486 that I should justifyH6663 you: till I dieH1478 I will not removeH5493 mine integrityH8538 from me.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
Now therefore fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in sincerityH8549 and in truthH571: and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye the LORDH3068.
ButG1161 I beseechG1189 you, that I may notG3361 be boldG2292 when I am presentG3918 with that confidenceG4006, wherewithG3739 I thinkG3049 to be boldG5111 againstG1909 someG5100, whichG3588 thinkG3049 of usG2248 asG5613 if we walkedG4043 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561. {think: or, reckon}
ForG1063 though we walkG4043 inG1722 the fleshG4561, we doG4754 notG3756 warG4754 afterG2596 the fleshG4561:
(ForG1063 the weaponsG3696 of ourG2257 warfareG4752 are notG3756 carnalG4559, butG235 mightyG1415 through GodG2316 toG4314 the pulling downG2506 of strong holdsG3794;) {through God: or, to God}
My righteousnessH6666 I holdH2388 fast, and will not let it goH7503: my heartH3824 shall not reproachH2778 me so long as I liveH3117. {so long…: Heb. from my days}
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159 andG2532 be spentG1550 forG5228 youG5590+G5216; thoughG1499 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG25 youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG25. {for you: Gr. for your souls}
ButG1161 be it soG2077, IG1473 didG2599 notG3756 burdenG2599 youG5209: neverthelessG235, beingG5225 craftyG3835, I caughtG2983 youG5209 with guileG1388.
Did I make a gainG4122+G3361 of youG5209 byG1223 anyG5100 of themG846 whomG3739 I sentG649 untoG4314 youG5209?
I desiredG3870 TitusG5103, andG2532 with him I sentG4882 a brotherG80. DidG4122+G3387 TitusG5103 make a gainG4122 of youG5209? walked weG4043 notG3756 in the sameG846 spiritG4151? walked we notG3756 in the sameG846 stepsG2487?
AgainG3825, think yeG1380 thatG3754 we excuse ourselvesG626 unto youG5213? we speakG2980 beforeG2714 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547: butG1161 we do all thingsG3956, dearly belovedG27, forG5228 yourG5216 edifyingG3619.
I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with mine eyesH5869; why then should I thinkH995 upon a maidH1330?
For what portionH2506 of GodH433 is there from aboveH4605? and what inheritanceH5159 of the AlmightyH7706 from on highH4791?
Is not destructionH343 to the wickedH5767? and a strangeH5235 punishment to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205?
Doth not he seeH7200 my waysH1870, and countH5608 all my stepsH6806?
If I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, or if my footH7272 hath hastedH2363 to deceitH4820;
Let me be weighedH8254 in an evenH6664 balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 mine integrityH8538. {Let…: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my stepH838 hath turned outH5186 of the wayH1870, and mine heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 mine eyesH5869, and if any blotH3971 hath cleavedH1692 to mine handsH3709;
Then let me sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let my offspringH6631 be rooted outH8327.
If mine heartH3820 have been deceivedH6601 by a womanH802, or if I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour'sH7453 doorH6607;
Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 unto anotherH312, and let othersH312 bow downH3766 upon her.
For this is an heinous crimeH2154; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414.
For it is a fireH784 that consumethH398 to destructionH11, and would root outH8327 all mine increaseH8393.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him?
Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH7358? {did not one…: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
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:
Then let mine armH3802 fallH5307 from my shoulder bladeH7929, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the boneH7070. {bone: or, chanelbone}
For destructionH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his highnessH7613 I couldH3201 not endure.
If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hopeH3689, or have saidH559 to the fine goldH3800, Thou art my confidenceH4009;
If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because mine handH3027 had gottenH4672 muchH3524; {gotten…: Heb. found much}
If I beheldH7200 the sunH216 when it shinedH1984, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightnessH3368; {sun: Heb. light} {in…: Heb. bright}
And my heartH3820 hath been secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, or my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027: {my mouth…: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgeH6416: for I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is aboveH4605.
If I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him:
Neither have I sufferedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by wishingH7592 a curseH423 to his soulH5315. {mouth: Heb. palate}
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734. {traveller: or, way}
If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926, and bindH6029 it as a crownH5850 to me.
I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I go nearH7126 unto him.
If my landH127 cryH2199 against me, or that the furrowsH8525 likewiseH3162 thereof complainH1058; {complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eatenH398 the fruitsH3581 thereof without moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistlesH2336 growH3318 instead of wheatH2406, and cockleH890 instead of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552. {cockle: or, noisome weeds}
StandG2476 thereforeG3767, havingG4024 yourG5216 loinsG3751 girt aboutG4024 withG1722 truthG225, andG2532 having onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of righteousnessG1343;
AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 was notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man'sG442 wisdomG4678, butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of powerG1411: {enticing: or, persuasible}
O LORDH3068 my GodH430, if I have doneH6213 this; if there beH3426 iniquityH5766 in my handsH3709;
If I have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto him that was at peaceH7999 with me; (yea, I have deliveredH2502 him that without causeH7387 is mine enemyH6887:)
Let the enemyH341 persecuteH7291 my soulH5315, and takeH5381 it; yea, let him tread downH7429 my lifeH2416 upon the earthH776, and layH7931 mine honourH3519 in the dustH6083. SelahH5542.
ThatG1519 yeG5209 may approveG1381 things that are excellentG1308; thatG2443 ye may beG5600 sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; {approve: or, try} {are…: or, differ}
ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600 inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of menG444, butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. {stand: Gr. be}
All this is comeH935 upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911 thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266 in thy covenantH1285.
Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472 backH268, neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186 from thy wayH734; {steps: or, goings}
Though thou hast sore brokenH1794 us in the placeH4725 of dragonsH8577, and coveredH3680 us with the shadow of deathH6757.
If we have forgottenH7911 the nameH8034 of our GodH430, or stretched outH6566 our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114 godH410;
Shall not GodH430 search this outH2713? for he knowethH3045 the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820.
InG4012 all thingsG3956 shewingG3930 thyselfG4572 a patternG5179 of goodG2570 worksG2041: inG1722 doctrineG1319 shewing uncorruptnessG90, gravityG4587, sincerityG861,
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
And saidH559, RememberH2142 now, O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3820, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with great weeping}
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.
AndG1161 hereinG1722+G5129 do I exerciseG778 myselfG846, to haveG2192 alwaysG1275 a conscienceG4893 void of offenceG677 towardG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 toward menG444.
WhoG5101 is a wise manG4680 andG2532 endued with knowledgeG1990 amongG1722 youG5213? let him shewG1166 out ofG1537 a goodG2570 conversationG391 hisG846 worksG2041 withG1722 meeknessG4240 of wisdomG4678.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye haveG2192 bitterG4089 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588, gloryG2620 notG3361, andG2532 lie notG5574 againstG2596 the truthG225.
ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 descendethG2076+G2718 notG3756 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, sensualG5591, devilishG1141. {sensual: or, natural}
ForG1063 whereG3699 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 is, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 workG4229. {confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness}
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
AndG1161 the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 inG1722 peaceG1515 of them that makeG4160 peaceG1515.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ButG1161 he givethG1325 moreG3187 graceG5485. WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, butG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 unto the humbleG5011.
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}
ButG1161 letG1381 every manG1538 proveG1381 his ownG1438 workG2041, andG2532 thenG5119 shall he haveG2192 rejoicingG2745 inG1519 himselfG1438 aloneG3441, andG2532 notG3756 inG1519 anotherG2087.
NowG1161 the endG5056 of the commandmentG3852 isG2076 charityG26 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588, andG2532 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893, andG2532 of faithG4102 unfeignedG505:
HoldingG2192 faithG4102, andG2532 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; whichG3739 someG5100 having put awayG683 concerningG4012 faithG4102 have made shipwreckG3489:
Of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 AlexanderG223; whomG3739 I have deliveredG3860 unto SatanG4567, thatG2443 they may learnG3811 notG3361 to blasphemeG987.
PrayG4336 forG4012 usG2257: forG1063+G3754 we trustG3982 we haveG2192 a goodG2570 conscienceG4893, inG1722 all thingsG3956 willingG2309 to liveG390 honestlyG2573.
HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak evilG2635 of youG5216, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG5216 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 ofG1537 the truthG225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG2257 heartsG2588 beforeG1715 himG846. {assure: Gr. persuade}
ForG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 heartG2588 condemn usG2607+G3754, GodG2316 isG2076 greaterG3187 than ourG2257 heartG2588, andG2532 knowethG1097 all thingsG3956.
BelovedG27, ifG3362 ourG2257 heartG2588 condemnG2607 usG2257 notG3362, then have weG2192 confidenceG3954 towardG4314 GodG2316.
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 we askG154, we receiveG2983 ofG3844 himG846, becauseG3754 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 doG4160 those things that are pleasingG701 in hisG846 sightG1799.
