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.

And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her daughter in lawH3618, BlessedH1288 be he of the LORDH3068, who hath not left offH5800 his kindnessH2617 to the livingH2416 and to the deadH4191. And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her, The manH376 is near of kinH7138 unto us, one of our next kinsmenH1350. {one of…: or, one that hath right to redeem}
Unto the uprightH3477 there arisethH2224 lightH216 in the darknessH2822: he is graciousH2587, and full of compassionH7349, and righteousH6662.
A righteousH6662 man regardethH3045 the lifeH5315 of his beastH929: but the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruelH394. {tender…: or, bowels}
So shall ye sayH559 unto JosephH3130, ForgiveH5375, I pray theeH577 now, the trespassH6588 of thy brethrenH251, and their sinH2403; for they didH1580 unto thee evilH7451: and now, we pray thee, forgiveH5375 the trespassH6588 of the servantsH5650 of the GodH430 of thy fatherH1. And JosephH3130 weptH1058 when they spakeH1696 unto him.
A goodH2896 manH376 sheweth favourH2603, and lendethH3867: he will guideH3557 his affairsH1697 with discretionH4941. {discretion: Heb. judgment}
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
And his brethrenH251 also wentH3212 and fell downH5307 before his faceH6440; and they saidH559, Behold, we be thy servantsH5650.
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
BeholdG2400, we count them happyG3106 which endureG5278. Ye have heardG191 of the patienceG5281 of JobG2492, andG2532 have seenG1492 the endG5056 of the LordG2962; thatG3754 the LordG2962 isG2076 very pitifulG4184, andG2532 of tender mercyG3629.
AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG2254 ourG2257 debtsG3783, asG2532+G5613 weG2249 forgiveG863 ourG2257 debtorsG3781.
The desireH8378 of a manH120 is his kindnessH2617: and a poor manH7326 is betterH2896 thanH376 a liarH3577.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG5216 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5213:
The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
ButG1161 ifG3362 ye forgiveG863 notG3362 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, neitherG3761 will yourG5216 FatherG3962 forgiveG863 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
ButG4133 love yeG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, andG2532 do goodG15, andG2532 lendG1155, hopingG560 for nothingG3367 againG560; andG2532 yourG5216 rewardG3408 shall beG2071 greatG4183, andG2532 ye shall beG2071 the childrenG5207 of the HighestG5310: forG3754 heG846 isG2076 kindG5543 untoG1909 the unthankfulG884 andG2532 to the evilG4190.
ThenG5119 cameG4334 PeterG4074 to himG846, and saidG2036, LordG2962, how oftG4212 shall myG3450 brotherG80 sinG264 againstG1519 meG1691, andG2532 I forgiveG863 himG846? tillG2193 seven timesG2034?
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, I sayG3004 notG3756 unto theeG4671, UntilG2193 seven timesG2034: butG235, UntilG2193 seventy timesG1441 sevenG2033.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 is the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 likenedG3666 unto a certainG444 kingG935, whichG3739 wouldG2309 takeG4868 accountG3056 ofG3326 hisG846 servantsG1401.
AndG1161 when heG846 had begunG756 to reckonG4868, oneG1520 was broughtG4374 unto himG846, which owedG3781 himG846 ten thousandG3463 talentsG5007. {talents: a talent is 750.ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187.li. 10.s.}
But forasmuch asG1161 heG846 hadG2192 notG3361 to payG591, hisG846 lordG2962 commandedG2753 himG846 to be soldG4097, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 payment to be madeG591.
The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fell downG4098, and worshippedG4352 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956. {worshipped him: or, besought him}
ThenG1161 the lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 was moved with compassionG4697, and loosedG630 himG846, andG2532 forgaveG863 himG846 the debtG1156.
ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whichG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 thatG3748 thou owestG3784. {pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.
AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784.
SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 unto theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096.
ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, after that he had calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou desiredstG3870 meG3165:
ShouldestG1163 notG3756 thouG4571 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571?
AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was wrothG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the tormentorsG930, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 unto himG846.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
AndG1161 the barbarous peopleG915 shewedG3930 usG2254 noG3756 littleG5177 kindnessG5363: forG1063 they kindledG381 a fireG4443, and receivedG4355 usG2248 every oneG3956, becauseG1223 of the presentG2186 rainG5205, andG2532 becauseG1223 of the coldG5592.
AndG2532 whenG3752 ye standG4739 prayingG4336, forgiveG863, ifG1536 ye haveG2192 oughtG1536 againstG2596 anyG5100: thatG2443 yourG5216 FatherG3962 alsoG2532 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772 may forgiveG863 youG5213 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
ButG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 doG863 notG3756 forgiveG863, neitherG3761 willG863 yourG5216 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772 forgiveG863 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
CharityG26 suffereth longG3114, and is kindG5541; charityG26 enviethG2206 notG3756; charityG26 vauntethG4068 notG3756 itselfG4068, isG5448 notG3756 puffed upG5448, {vaunteth…: or, is not rash}
JudgeG2919 notG3361, andG2532 ye shallG2919 notG3364 be judgedG2919: condemnG2613 notG3361, andG2532 ye shallG2613 notG3364 be condemnedG2613: forgiveG630, andG2532 ye shall be forgivenG630:
To whomG3739 ye forgiveG5483 any thingG5100, IG1473 forgive alsoG2532: forG2532+G1063 if IG1473 forgaveG5483 any thingG1536, to whomG3739 I forgaveG5483 it, for your sakesG1223+G5209 forgave I it inG1722 the personG4383 of ChristG5547; {person: or, sight} {in the person: or, in the sight}
AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG2254 ourG2257 sinsG266; forG1063 weG846 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 every oneG3956 that is indebtedG3784 to usG2254. AndG2532 leadG1533 usG2248 notG3361 intoG1519 temptationG3986; butG235 deliverG4506 usG2248 fromG575 evilG4190.
ByG1722 purenessG54, byG1722 knowledgeG1108, byG1722 longsufferingG3115, byG1722 kindnessG5544, byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, byG1722 loveG26 unfeignedG505,
AndG2532 ifG1437 he trespassG264 againstG1519 theeG4571 seven timesG2034 in a dayG2250, andG2532 seven timesG2034 in a dayG2250 turn againG1994 toG1909 theeG4571, sayingG3004, I repentG3340; thou shalt forgiveG863 himG846.
Put onG1746 thereforeG3767, asG5613 the electG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 andG2532 belovedG25, bowelsG4698 of merciesG3628, kindnessG5544, humbleness of mindG5012, meeknessG4236, longsufferingG3115;
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
ForbearingG430 one anotherG240, andG2532 forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, ifG1437 any manG5100 haveG2192 a quarrelG3437 againstG4314 anyG5100: even asG2531+G2532 ChristG5547 forgaveG5483 youG5213, soG3779 alsoG2532 do yeG5210. {quarrel: or, complaint}
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
SoG5620 that contrariwiseG5121 yeG5209 ought ratherG3123 to forgiveG5483 him, andG2532 comfortG3870 him, lestG3381 perhapsG4458 such a oneG5108 should be swallowed upG2666 with overmuchG4055 sorrowG3077.
To whomG3739 ye forgiveG5483 any thingG5100, IG1473 forgive alsoG2532: forG2532+G1063 if IG1473 forgaveG5483 any thingG1536, to whomG3739 I forgaveG5483 it, for your sakesG1223+G5209 forgave I it inG1722 the personG4383 of ChristG5547; {person: or, sight} {in the person: or, in the sight}
Put onG1746 thereforeG3767, asG5613 the electG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 andG2532 belovedG25, bowelsG4698 of merciesG3628, kindnessG5544, humbleness of mindG5012, meeknessG4236, longsufferingG3115;
