For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
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;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
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,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 andG2532 accessG4318 withG1722 confidenceG4006 byG1223 the faithG4102 of himG846.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.

And shall sayH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, ye approachH7131 this dayH3117 unto battleH4421 against your enemiesH341: let not your heartsH3824 faintH7401, fearH3372 not, and do not trembleH2648, neither be ye terrifiedH6206 becauseH6440 of them; {faint: Heb. be tender} {tremble: Heb. make haste}
For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
Even the youthsH5288 shall faintH3286 and be wearyH3021, and the young menH970 shall utterlyH3782 fallH3782:
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}
But they that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068 shall renewH2498 their strengthH3581; they shall mount upH5927 with wingsH83 as eaglesH5404; they shall runH7323, and not be wearyH3021; and they shall walkH3212, and not faintH3286. {renew: Heb. change}
ButG1161 I wouldG1014 yeG5209 should understandG1097, brethrenG80, thatG3754 the things which happened untoG2596 meG1691 have fallen outG2064 ratherG3123 untoG1519 the furtheranceG4297 of the gospelG2098;
So thatG5620 myG3450 bondsG1199 inG1722 ChristG5547 areG1096 manifestG5318 inG1722 allG3650 the palaceG4232, andG2532 in allG3956 otherG3062 places; {in Christ: or, for Christ} {the palace: or, Caesar's court} {in all other…: or, to all others}
AndG2532 manyG4119 of the brethrenG80 inG1722 the LordG2962, waxing confidentG3982 by myG3450 bondsG1199, are much moreG4056 boldG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 without fearG870.
In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372 thou not: and to ZionH6726, Let not thine handsH3027 be slackH7503. {slack: or, faint}
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
ConfirmingG1991 the soulsG5590 of the disciplesG3101, and exhorting themG3870 to continueG1696 in the faithG4102, andG2532 thatG3754 weG2248 mustG1163 throughG1223 muchG4183 tribulationG2347 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 sentG3992 TimotheusG5095, ourG2257 brotherG80, andG2532 ministerG1249 of GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 fellowlabourerG4904 inG1722 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, toG1519 establishG4741 youG5209, andG2532 to comfortG3870 youG5209 concerningG4012 yourG5216 faithG4102:
That no manG3367 should be movedG4525 byG1722 theseG5025 afflictionsG2347: forG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 thatG3754 we are appointedG2749 thereuntoG1519+G5124. {there unto: or, to sufferings, or, to persecution}
ForG1063 verilyG2532, whenG3753 we wereG2258 withG4314 youG5209, we toldG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302 thatG3754 we shouldG3195 suffer tribulationG2346; evenG2532 asG2531 it came to passG1096, andG2532 ye knowG1492.
AndG1161 let usG1573 notG3361 be wearyG1573 in wellG2570 doingG4160: forG1063 in dueG2398 seasonG2540 we shall reapG2325, if we faintG1590 notG3361.
ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478 untoG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266.
AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846:
