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.

And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
That he who blessethH1288 himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288 himself in the GodH430 of truthH543; and he that swearethH7650 in the earthH776 shall swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truthH543; because the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911, and because they are hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.
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}

JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 all thingsG3956 are forG1223 yourG5209 sakesG1223, thatG2443 the abundantG4121 graceG5485 mightG4052 throughG1223 the thanksgivingG2169 of manyG4119 redoundG4052 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.

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}
GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444.
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
WhereforeG1352 receive yeG4355 one anotherG240, asG2531+G2532 ChristG5547 alsoG2531 receivedG4355 usG2248 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 the wayG3598+G2532, the truthG225, andG2532 the lifeG2222: no manG3762 comethG2064 untoG4314 the FatherG3962, butG1508 byG1223 meG1700.
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
YeG5210 areG2075 the childrenG5207 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 madeG1303 withG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, sayingG3004 untoG4314 AbrahamG11, AndG2532 in thyG4675 seedG4690 shallG1757 allG3956 the kindredsG3965 of the earthG1093 be blessedG1757.
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 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
Unto youG5213 firstG4412 GodG2316, having raised upG450 hisG846 SonG3816 JesusG2424, sentG649 himG846 to blessG2127 youG5209, inG1722 turning awayG654 every oneG1538 of youG5216 fromG575 his iniquitiesG4189.
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
AndG2532 weG2249 declareG2097 unto youG5209 glad tidingsG2097, how thatG3754 the promiseG1860 which was madeG1096 untoG4314 the fathersG3962,
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.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
ButG1161 he, whomG3739 GodG2316 raised againG1453, sawG1492 noG3756 corruptionG1312.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
AndG2532 byG1722 himG5129 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475.
WhenG3752 he shall comeG2064 to be glorifiedG1740 inG1722 hisG846 saintsG40, andG2532 to be admiredG2296 inG1722 allG3956 them that believeG4100 (becauseG3754 ourG2257 testimonyG3142 amongG1909 youG5209 was believedG4100) inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250.
ForG1063 the wagesG3800 of sinG266 is deathG2288; butG1161 the giftG5486 of GodG2316 is eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
NowG1161 I sayG3004 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1096 a ministerG1249 of the circumcisionG4061 forG5228 the truthG225 of GodG2316, toG1519 confirmG950 the promisesG1860 made unto the fathersG3962:
SayingG3004, AmenG281: BlessingG2129, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 wisdomG4678, andG2532 thanksgivingG2169, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, andG2532 mightG2479, be unto ourG2257 GodG2316 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
AndG1161 that the GentilesG1484 might glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG5228 his mercyG1656; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 I will confessG1843 to theeG4671 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 singG5567 unto thyG4675 nameG3686.
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192 swearG3660 byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660 byG2596 himselfG1438,
SayingG3004, SurelyG2229+G3375 blessingG2127 I will blessG2127 theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129 I will multiplyG4129 theeG4571.
AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.
WhereinG1722+G3739 GodG2316, willingG1014 more abundantlyG4054 to shewG1925 unto the heirsG2818 of promiseG1860 the immutabilityG276 of hisG846 counselG1012, confirmedG3315 it by an oathG3727: {confirmed…: Gr. interposed himself by}
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinksG4188, andG2532 diversG1313 washingsG909, andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinancesG1345, imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformationG1357. {ordinances: or, rites, or, ceremonies}
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the sameG846 yesterdayG5504, andG2532 to dayG4594, andG2532 forG1519 everG165.
LetG3306 that thereforeG3767 abideG3306 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 yeG5210 have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. IfG1437 that whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746 shall remainG3306 inG1722 youG5213, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall continueG3306 inG1722 the SonG5207, andG2532 inG1722 the FatherG3962.
