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}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325 graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658 inG1519 the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG4138 of ChristG5547: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried about withG4064 everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722+G3834, wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
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.
ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG5547;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mindG3563;
AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742. {true…: or, holiness of truth}
WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
AndG1161 beG1096 ye kindG5543 one to anotherG1519+G240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, even asG2531+G2532 GodG2316 forG1722 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 hath forgivenG5483 youG5213.

ButG1161 IG1473 have prayedG1189 forG4012 theeG4675, thatG3363 thyG4675 faithG4102 failG1587 notG3363: andG2532 whenG4218 thouG4771 art convertedG1994, strengthenG4741 thyG4675 brethrenG80.
ForG3754 he wasG2258 numberedG2674 withG4862 usG2254, andG2532 had obtainedG2975 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248.
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
SoG3767 whenG3753 they had dinedG709, JesusG2424 saithG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165 more thanG4119 theseG5130? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 lambsG721.
He saithG3004 to himG846 againG3825 the second timeG1208, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG4165 myG3450 sheepG4263.
He saithG3004 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovestG5368 thou meG3165? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 he saidG2036 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, LovestG5368 thou meG3165? AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492 all thingsG3956; thouG4771 knowestG1097 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 sheepG4263.
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
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.
ButG235 noneG3762 of these thingsG3056 move meG4160, neitherG3761 count IG2192 myG3450 lifeG5590 dearG5093 unto myselfG1683, soG5613 that I might finishG5048 myG3450 courseG1408 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 the ministryG1248, whichG3739 I have receivedG2983 ofG3844 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG2098 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
Let usG1377 thereforeG686+G3767 follow afterG1377 the things which make forG3588 peaceG1515, andG2532 things wherewithG1519 oneG240 may edifyG3619 anotherG240.
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:
WhoG3739, when he cameG3854, andG2532 had seenG1492 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, was gladG5463, andG2532 exhortedG3870 them allG3956, that with purposeG4286 of heartG2588 they would cleave untoG4357 the LordG2962.
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
LetG700 every oneG1538 of usG2257 pleaseG700 his neighbourG4139 forG1519 his goodG18 toG4314 edificationG3619.
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.
LetG3049 a manG444 soG3779 accountG3049 of usG2248, asG5613 of the ministersG5257 of ChristG5547, andG2532 stewardsG3623 of the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316.
He that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 edifiethG3618 himselfG1438; butG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 edifiethG3618 the churchG1577.
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103.
I wouldG2309 that yeG5209 allG3956 spakeG2980 with tonguesG1100, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye prophesiedG4395: forG1063 greaterG3187 is he that prophesiethG4395 thanG2228 he that speakethG2980 with tonguesG1100, exceptG1622+G1508 he interpretG1329, thatG2443 the churchG1577 may receiveG2983 edifyingG3619.
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
EvenG2532 soG3779 yeG5210, forasmuch asG1893 ye areG2075 zealousG2207 of spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 thatG2443 ye may excelG4052 toG4314 the edifyingG3619 of the churchG1577. {of spiritual gifts: Gr. of spirits}
AndG1161 IG1473 myselfG846 alsoG2532 am persuadedG3982 ofG4012 youG5216, myG3450 brethrenG80, thatG3754 yeG846 alsoG2532 areG2075 fullG3324 of goodnessG19, filledG4137 with allG3956 knowledgeG1108, ableG1410 alsoG2532 to admonishG3560 one anotherG240.
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
ForG1063 ifG1437 I prayG4336 in an unknown tongueG1100, myG3450 spiritG4151 prayethG4336, butG1161 myG3450 understandingG3563 isG2076 unfruitfulG175.
AndG1161 I am sureG1492 thatG3754, when I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, I shall comeG2064 inG1722 the fulnessG4138 of the blessingG2129 of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG2248 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 the ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643;
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
GivingG1325 noG3367 offenceG4349 inG1722 any thingG3367, thatG3363 the ministryG1248 beG3469 notG3363 blamedG3469:
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.
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.
AndG2532 sayG2036 to ArchippusG751, Take heedG991 to the ministryG1248 whichG3739 thou hast receivedG3880 inG1722 the LordG2962, thatG2443 thou fulfilG4137 itG846.
WhereforeG1352 comfortG3870 yourselves togetherG240, andG2532 edifyG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520, evenG2531 as alsoG2532 ye doG4160. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG2532 having thisG5124 confidenceG3982, I knowG1492 thatG3754 I shall abideG3306 andG2532 continueG4839 with youG5213 allG3956 forG1519 yourG5216 furtheranceG4297 andG2532 joyG5479 of faithG4102;
AndG2532 I thankG2192+G5485 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962, whoG3588 hath enabledG1743 meG3165, forG3754 that he countedG2233 meG3165 faithfulG4103, putting meG5087 intoG1519 the ministryG1248;
ThatG2443 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745 may be more abundantG4052 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1722 meG1698 byG1223 myG1699 comingG3952 toG4314 youG5209 againG3825.
ButG1161 watchG3525 thouG4771 inG1722 all thingsG3956, endure afflictionsG2553, doG4160 the workG2041 of an evangelistG2099, make full proofG4135 of thyG4675 ministryG1248. {make…: or, fulfil}
NotG3756 as thoughG3754 I had alreadyG2235 attainedG2983, eitherG2228 were alreadyG2235 perfectG5048: butG1161 I follow afterG1377, ifG1499 that I may apprehendG2638 that forG1909 whichG3739 alsoG2532 I am apprehendedG2638 ofG5259 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
BrethrenG80, IG1473 countG3049 notG3756 myselfG1683 to have apprehendedG2638: butG1161 this one thingG1520 I do, forgettingG1950 those thingsG3303 which are behindG3694, andG1161 reaching forth untoG1901 those things which are beforeG1715,
I pressG1377 towardG2596 the markG4649 forG1909 the prizeG1017 of the highG507 callingG2821 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
LetG5426 us thereforeG3767, as many asG3745 be perfectG5046, beG5426 thusG5124 mindedG5426: andG2532 if in any thingG1536 ye beG5426 otherwiseG2088 mindedG5426, GodG2316 shall revealG601 evenG2532 thisG5124 unto youG5213.
NeverthelessG4133, wheretoG1519+G3739 we have already attainedG5348, let us walkG4748 by the sameG846 ruleG2583, let us mindG5426 the same thingG846.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 followers togetherG4831 of meG3450, andG2532 markG4648 them which walkG4043 soG3779 asG2531 ye haveG2192 usG2248 for an ensampleG5179.
(ForG1063 manyG4183 walkG4043, of whomG3739 I have toldG3004 youG5213 oftenG4178, andG1161 nowG3568 tellG3004 you evenG2532 weepingG2799, that they are the enemiesG2190 of the crossG4716 of ChristG5547:
OnlyG3441 LukeG3065 isG2076 withG3326 meG1700. TakeG353 MarkG3138, and bring himG71 withG3326 theeG4572: forG1063 he isG2076 profitableG2173 to meG3427 forG1519 the ministryG1248.
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereforeG1352 comfortG3870 yourselves togetherG240, andG2532 edifyG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520, evenG2531 as alsoG2532 ye doG4160. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
AndG2532 to esteemG2233 themG846 veryG5228 highlyG1537+G4053 inG1722 loveG26 forG1223 theirG846 work's sakeG2041. And be at peaceG1514 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438.
NowG1161 we exhortG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, warnG3560 them that are unrulyG813, comfortG3888 the feeblemindedG3642, supportG472 the weakG772, be patientG3114 towardG4314 allG3956 men. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}
ThereforeG1352 leavingG863 the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342 untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598 againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316, {principles…: or, word of the beginning of}
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
