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 2,10 Eph 2,10
Do ye thus requiteH1580 the LORDH3068, O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwiseH2450? is not he thy fatherH1 that hath boughtH7069 thee? hath he not madeH6213 thee, and establishedH3559 thee?
AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742. {true…: or, holiness of truth}
Let yourG5216 lightG5457 soG3779 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG444, thatG3704 they may seeG1492 yourG5216 goodG2570 worksG2041, andG2532 glorifyG1392 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
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:
KnowH3045 ye that the LORDH3068 he is GodH430: it is he that hath madeH6213 us, and not we ourselves; we are his peopleH5971, and the sheepH6629 of his pastureH4830. {and not…: or, and his we are}
CreateH1254 in me a cleanH2889 heartH3820, O GodH430; and renewH2318 a rightH3559 spiritH7307 withinH7130 me. {right: or, constant}
NowG1161 there wasG2258 atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329 is calledG3004 DorcasG1393: this womanG3778+G846 wasG2258 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160. {Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe}
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
The LORDH3068 will perfectH1584 that which concerneth me: thy mercyH2617, O LORDH3068, endureth for everH5769: forsakeH7503 not the worksH4639 of thine own handsH3027.
ThereforeG5620 if any manG1536 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. {he is: or, let him be}
AndG1161 GodG2316 is ableG1415 to makeG4052 allG3956 graceG5485 aboundG4052 towardG1519 youG5209; thatG2443 ye, alwaysG3842 havingG2192 allG3956 sufficiencyG841 inG1722 allG3956 things, may aboundG4052 toG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041:
Ye shall walkH3212 in all the waysH1870 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath commandedH6680 you, that ye may liveH2421, and that it may be wellH2895 with you, and that ye may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH776 which ye shall possessH3423.
Whom the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall blessH1288, sayingH559, BlessedH1288 be EgyptH4714 my peopleH5971, and AssyriaH804 the workH4639 of my handsH3027, and IsraelH3478 mine inheritanceH5159.
ForG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 availethG2480 any thingG5100, norG3777 uncircumcisionG203, butG235 a newG2537 creatureG2937.
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!
But when he seethH7200 his childrenH3206, the workH4639 of mine handsH3027, in the midstH7130 of him, they shall sanctifyH6942 my nameH8034, and sanctifyH6942 the Holy OneH6918 of JacobH3290, and shall fearH6206 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
AndG2532 have put onG1746 the newG3501 man, whichG3588 is renewedG341 inG1519 knowledgeG1922 afterG2596 the image of himG1504 that createdG2936 himG846:
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
ButG235 (whichG3739 becomethG4241 womenG1135 professingG1861 godlinessG2317) withG1223 goodG18 worksG2041.
And manyH7227 peopleH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH3212 ye, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall go forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
And he shall judgeH8199 among the nationsH1471, and shall rebukeH3198 manyH7227 peopleH5971: and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855, and their spearsH2595 into pruninghooksH4211: nationH1471 shall not lift upH5375 swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, comeH3212 ye, and let us walkH3212 in the lightH216 of the LORDH3068.
RememberH2142 these, O JacobH3290 and IsraelH3478; for thou art my servantH5650: I have formedH3335 thee; thou art my servantH5650: O IsraelH3478, thou shalt not be forgottenH5382 of me.
Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought upG5044 children, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints'G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
ThenG3303+G3767 hadG2192 the churchesG1577 restG1515 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449 andG2532 GalileeG1056 andG2532 SamariaG4540, and were edifiedG3618; andG2532 walking inG4198 the fearG5401 of the LordG2962, andG2532 in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, were multipliedG4129.
Thy peopleH5971 also shall be all righteousH6662: they shall inheritH3423 the landH776 for everH5769, the branchH5342 of my plantingH4302, the workH4639 of my handsH3027, that I may be glorifiedH6286.
LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532 the goodG2570 worksG2041 of some areG2076 manifest beforehandG4271; andG2532 they that areG2192 otherwiseG247 cannotG3756+G1410 be hidG2928.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG1511+G2130, willing to communicateG2843; {willing…: or, sociable}
ButG1161 ifG1437 we walkG4043 inG1722 the lightG5457, asG5613 heG846 isG2076 inG1722 the lightG5457, we haveG2192 fellowshipG2842 one with anotherG3326+G240, andG2532 the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hisG846 SonG5207 cleansethG2511 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 sinG266.
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
He that saithG3004 he abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 oughtG3784 himselfG846 alsoG2532 soG3779 to walkG4043, even asG2531 heG1565 walkedG4043.
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
InG4012 all thingsG3956 shewingG3930 thyselfG4572 a patternG5179 of goodG2570 worksG2041: inG1722 doctrineG1319 shewing uncorruptnessG90, gravityG4587, sincerityG861,
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.
WhoG3739 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 he might redeemG3084 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 iniquityG458, andG2532 purifyG2511 unto himselfG1438 a peculiarG4041 peopleG2992, zealousG2207 of goodG2570 worksG2041.
ButG1161 he that doethG4160 truthG225 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, thatG2443 hisG846 deedsG2041 may be made manifestG5319, thatG3754 they areG2076 wroughtG2038 inG1722 GodG2316.
PutG5279 themG846 in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, to obey magistratesG3980, to beG1511 readyG2092 toG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041,
ForG1063 we areG2070 labourers togetherG4904 with GodG2316: ye areG2075 God'sG2316 husbandryG1091, ye are God'sG2316 buildingG3619. {husbandry: or, tillage}
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 these thingsG4012+G5130 I willG1014 that thouG4571 affirm constantlyG1226, thatG2443 they which have believedG4100 in GodG2316 might be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG5023 areG2076 goodG2570 andG2532 profitableG5624 unto menG444.
NowG1161 he that hath wroughtG2716 usG2248 forG1519 the selfsame thingG846+G5124 is GodG2316, whoG3588 alsoG2532 hath givenG1325 unto usG2254 the earnestG728 of the SpiritG4151.
AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they beG5600 notG3363 unfruitfulG175. {maintain…: or, profess honest trades}
ThereforeG5620 if any manG1536 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. {he is: or, let him be}
AndG2532 let us considerG2657 one anotherG240 toG1519 provokeG3948 unto loveG26 andG2532 to goodG2570 worksG2041:
Being confidentG3982 of thisG5124 very thingG846, thatG3754 he which hath begunG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {perform: or, finish}
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
