AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
Querverweise zu Epheser 2,3 Eph 2,3
All we like sheepH6629 have gone astrayH8582; we have turnedH6437 every oneH376 to his own wayH1870; and the LORDH3068 hath laidH6293 on him the iniquityH5771 of us all. {laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
And AdamH121 livedH2421 an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, and begatH3205 a son in his own likenessH1823, after his imageH6754; and calledH7121 his nameH8034 SethH8352:
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
WhatG5101 thenG3767? are we betterG4284 than they? NoG3756, in no wiseG3843: forG1063 we have before provedG4256 bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GentilesG1672, that they areG1511 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266; {proved: Gr. charged}
But we are all as an uncleanH2931 thing, and all our righteousnessesH6666 are as filthyH5708 ragsH899; and we all do fadeH5034+H1101 as a leafH5929; and our iniquitiesH5771, like the windH7307, have taken us awayH5375.
WhoG3739 inG1722 timesG1074 pastG3944 sufferedG1439 allG3956 nationsG1484 to walkG4198 in their ownG846 waysG3598.
AndG2532 the caresG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, andG2532 the lustsG1939 ofG4012 other thingsG3062 entering inG1531, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 it becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. {lusts: or, inordinate desires}
And GODH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117. {every…: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
EvenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 which is byG1223 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 allG3956 andG2532 uponG1909 allG3956 them that believeG4100: forG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293:
And there is none that callethH7121 upon thy nameH8034, that stirreth upH5782 himself to take holdH2388 of thee: for thou hast hidH5641 thy faceH6440 from us, and hast consumedH4127 us, becauseH3027 of our iniquitiesH5771. {consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, andG2532 the lustsG1939 of yourG5216 fatherG3962 ye willG2309 doG4160. HeG1565 wasG2258 a murdererG443 fromG575 the beginningG746, andG2532 abodeG2476 notG3756 inG1722 the truthG225, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 truthG225 inG1722 himG846. WhenG3752 he speakethG2980 a lieG5579, he speakethG2980 ofG1537 his ownG2398: forG3754 he isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the fatherG3962 of itG846. {of his own: or, from his own will or disposition}
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 theseG5025 promisesG1860, dearly belovedG27, let us cleanseG2511 ourselvesG1438 fromG575 allG3956 filthinessG3436 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 spiritG4151, perfectingG2005 holinessG42 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
And the LORDH3068 smelledH7306 a sweetH5207 savourH7381; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 inH413 his heartH3820, I will not againH3254 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man'sH120 sakeH5668; for the imaginationH3336 of man'sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH3254 smiteH5221 any more every thing livingH2416, as I have doneH6213. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
NowG1161 the worksG2041 of the fleshG4561 areG2076 manifestG5318, whichG3748 areG2076 these; AdulteryG3430, fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, lasciviousnessG766,
IdolatryG1495, witchcraftG5331, hatredG2189, varianceG2054, emulationsG2205, wrathG2372, strifeG2052, seditionsG1370, heresiesG139,
EnvyingsG5355, murdersG5408, drunkennessG3178, revellingsG2970, andG2532 suchG5125 likeG3664: of the whichG3739 I tellG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302, asG2531 I haveG4277 alsoG2532 told you in time pastG4277, thatG3754 they which doG4238 such thingsG5108 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
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}
WhatG5101 thenG3767? are we betterG4284 than they? NoG3756, in no wiseG3843: forG1063 we have before provedG4256 bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GentilesG1672, that they areG1511 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266; {proved: Gr. charged}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3756 righteousG1342, no, notG3761 oneG1520:
There isG2076 noneG3756 that understandethG4920, there isG2076 noneG3756 that seeketh afterG1567 GodG2316.
They areG1578 allG3956 gone out of the wayG1578, they areG889 togetherG260 become unprofitableG889; there isG2076 noneG3756 that doethG4160 goodG5544, no, notG3756 oneG2076+G2193+G1520.
TheirG846 throatG2995 is an openG455 sepulchreG5028; with theirG846 tonguesG1100 they have used deceitG1387; the poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 theirG846 lipsG5491:
WhoseG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 andG2532 bitternessG4088:
TheirG846 feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129:
DestructionG4938 andG2532 miseryG5004 are inG1722 theirG846 waysG3598:
AndG2532 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515 haveG1097 they notG3756 knownG1097:
There isG2076 noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 theirG846 eyesG3788.
NowG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 what things soeverG3745 the lawG3551 saithG3004, it saithG2980 to them who are underG1722 the lawG3551: thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be stoppedG5420, andG2532 allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 guiltyG5267 before GodG2316. {guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God}
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
LetG936 notG3361 sinG266 thereforeG3767 reignG936 inG1722 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodyG4983, thatG1519 ye should obeyG5219 itG846 inG1722 the lustsG1939 thereofG846.
What is manH582, that he should be cleanH2135? and he which is bornH3205 of a womanH802, that he should be righteousH6663?
Behold, he putteth no trustH539 in his saintsH6918; yea, the heavensH8064 are not cleanH2141 in his sightH5869.
How much more abominableH8581 and filthyH444 is manH376, which drinkethH8354 iniquityH5766+H5766 like waterH4325?
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
NorG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 covetousG4123, norG3777 drunkardsG3183, norG3756 revilersG3060, norG3756 extortionersG727, shall inheritG3756+G2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
ButG235 put ye onG1746 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 notG3361 provisionG4307 forG1519 the fleshG4561, to fulfil the lustsG1939 thereof.
How then can manH582 be justifiedH6663 with GodH410? or how can he be cleanH2135 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802?
AgainG3825, a newG2537 commandmentG1785 I writeG1125 unto youG5213, which thingG3739 isG2076 trueG227 inG1722 himG846 andG2532 inG1722 youG5213: becauseG3754 the darknessG4653 is pastG3855, andG2532 the trueG228 lightG5457 nowG2235 shinethG5316.
This I sayG3004 thenG1161, WalkG4043 in the SpiritG4151, andG2532 ye shallG5055 notG3364 fulfilG5055 the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561. {ye…: or, fulfil not}
ForG1063 the fleshG4561 lustethG1937 againstG2596 the SpiritG4151, andG1161 the SpiritG4151 againstG2596 the fleshG4561: andG1161 theseG5023 are contraryG480 the one to the otherG240: so thatG2443 ye cannotG3363 doG4160 the thingsG5023 thatG3739+G302 ye wouldG2309.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye be ledG71 of the SpiritG4151, ye areG2075 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551.
NowG1161 the worksG2041 of the fleshG4561 areG2076 manifestG5318, whichG3748 areG2076 these; AdulteryG3430, fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, lasciviousnessG766,

EnvyingsG5355, murdersG5408, drunkennessG3178, revellingsG2970, andG2532 suchG5125 likeG3664: of the whichG3739 I tellG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302, asG2531 I haveG4277 alsoG2532 told you in time pastG4277, thatG3754 they which doG4238 such thingsG5108 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 isG2076 loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, longsufferingG3115, gentlenessG5544, goodnessG19, faithG4102,
MeeknessG4236, temperanceG1466: againstG2596 suchG5108 there isG2076 noG3756 lawG3551.
AndG1161 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 have crucifiedG4717 the fleshG4561 withG4862 the affectionsG3804 andG2532 lustsG1939. {affections: or, passions}
Behold, I was shapenH2342 in iniquityH5771; and in sinH2399 did my motherH517 conceiveH3179 me. {conceive…: Heb. warm me}
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG3362 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG2249 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: forG1360 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756+G3956 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344.
ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684.
ForG1063 from withinG2081, out ofG1537 the heartG2588 of menG444, proceedG1607 evilG2556 thoughtsG1261, adulteriesG3430, fornicationsG4202, murdersG5408,
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
From whenceG4159 come warsG4171 andG2532 fightingsG3163 amongG1722 youG5213? come they notG3756 henceG1782, even ofG1537 yourG5216 lustsG2237 that warG4754 inG1722 yourG5216 membersG3196? {fightings: or, brawlings} {lusts: or, pleasures}
Ye lustG1937, andG2532 haveG2192 notG3756: ye killG5407, andG2532 desire to haveG2206, andG2532 cannotG3756+G1410 obtainG2013: ye fightG3164 andG2532 warG4170, yetG1161 ye haveG2192 notG3756, becauseG1223 yeG5209 askG154 notG3361.
Ye askG154, andG2532 receiveG2983 notG3756, becauseG1360 ye askG154 amissG2560, thatG2443 ye may consumeG1159 it uponG1722 yourG5216 lustsG2237. {lusts: or, pleasures}
TheftsG2829, covetousnessG4124, wickednessG4189, deceitG1388, lasciviousnessG766, an evilG4190 eyeG3788, blasphemyG988, prideG5243, foolishnessG877: {covetousness…: Gr. covetousnesses, wickednesses}
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.
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
There wasG2258 a manG444 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686+G846 NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453:
The sameG3778 cameG2064 toG4314 JesusG2424 by nightG3571, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG2064 a teacherG1320 comeG2064 fromG575 GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 canG1410 doG4160 theseG5023 miraclesG4592 thatG3739 thouG4771 doestG4160, exceptG3362 GodG2316 beG5600 withG3326 himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
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.
That which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076 fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 spiritG4151.
ForG1063 the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 usG2254 to have wroughtG2716 the willG2307 of the GentilesG1484, when we walkedG4198 inG1722 lasciviousnessG766, lustsG1939, excess of wineG3632, revellingsG2970, banquetingsG4224, andG2532 abominableG111 idolatriesG1495:
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
WhereforeG1223+G5124, asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 manG444 sinG266 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 deathG2288 byG1223 sinG266; andG2532 soG3779 deathG2288 passedG1330 uponG1519 allG3956 menG444, forG1909 thatG3739 allG3956 have sinnedG264: {for that: or, in whom}
(ForG1063 untilG891 the lawG3551 sinG266 wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889: butG1161 sinG266 isG1677 notG3756 imputedG1677 when there isG5607 noG3361 lawG3551.
NeverthelessG235 deathG2288 reignedG936 fromG575 AdamG76 toG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 them that hadG264 notG3361 sinnedG264 afterG1909 the similitudeG3667 of Adam'sG76 transgressionG3847, whoG3739 isG2076 the figureG5179 of him that was to comeG3195.
ButG235 notG3756 asG5613 the offenceG3900, soG3779 alsoG2532 is the free giftG5486. ForG1063 ifG1487 through the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 manyG4183 be deadG599, muchG4183 moreG3123 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the giftG1431 byG1722 graceG5485, which isG3588 by oneG1520 manG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, hath aboundedG4052 untoG1519 manyG4183.
AndG2532 notG3756 asG5613 it was byG1223 oneG1520 that sinnedG264, so is the giftG1434: forG1063+G3303 the judgmentG2917 was byG1537 oneG1520 toG1519 condemnationG2631, butG1161 the free giftG5486 is ofG1537 manyG4183 offencesG3900 untoG1519 justificationG1345.
ForG1063 ifG1487 by one man'sG1520 offenceG3900 deathG2288 reignedG936 byG1223 oneG1520; muchG4183 moreG3123 they which receiveG2983 abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 andG2532 of the giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 shall reignG936 inG1722 lifeG2222 byG1223 oneG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.) {by one man's…: or, by one offence}
ThereforeG686+G3767 asG5613 byG1223 the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 judgment came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 toG1519 condemnationG2631; evenG2532 soG3779 byG1223 the righteousnessG1345 of oneG1520 the free gift came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 untoG1519 justificationG1347 of lifeG2222. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness}
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
IfG1437 we sayG2036 thatG3754 we haveG2192 noG3756 sinG266, we deceiveG4105 ourselvesG1438, andG2532 the truthG225 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 usG2254.
IfG1437 we confessG3670 ourG2257 sinsG266, he isG2076 faithfulG4103 andG2532 justG1342 toG2443 forgiveG863 usG2254 our sinsG266, andG2532 to cleanseG2511 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 unrighteousnessG93.
IfG1437 we sayG2036 thatG3754 we haveG264 notG3756 sinnedG264, we makeG4160 himG846 a liarG5583, andG2532 hisG846 wordG3056 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 usG2254.
ThatG1519 heG980 no longerG3371 should liveG980 the restG1954 of his timeG5550 inG1722 the fleshG4561 to the lustsG1939 of menG444, butG235 to the willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
ForG3754 allG3956 that is inG1722 the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, andG2532 the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, andG2532 the prideG212 of lifeG979, isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3962, butG235 isG2076 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG3362 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG2249 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: forG1360 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756+G3956 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344.
TheseG3778 areG1526 murmurersG1113, complainersG3202, walkingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; andG2532 theirG846 mouthG4750 speakethG2980 great swellingG5246 words, having men's personsG4383 in admirationG2296 becauseG5484 of advantageG5622.
ButG1161, belovedG27, rememberG3415 yeG5210 the wordsG4487 whichG3588 were spoken beforeG4280 ofG5259 the apostlesG652 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;
HowG3754 thatG3754 they toldG3004 youG5213 there should beG2071 mockersG1703 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG5550, who should walkG4198 afterG2596 their ownG1438 ungodlyG763 lustsG1939.
