PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimotheusG5095 our brotherG80,
To the saintsG40 andG2532 faithfulG4103 brethrenG80 inG1722 ChristG5547 which are atG1722 ColosseG2857: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AsG2531 yeG3129 alsoG2532 learnedG3129 ofG575 EpaphrasG1889 ourG2257 dearG27 fellowservantG4889, whoG3739 isG2076 forG5228 youG5216 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547;
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 alsoG2532, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 we heardG191 it, doG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 with the knowledgeG1922 of hisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understandingG4907;
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
Giving thanksG2168 unto the FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath madeG2427 usG2248 meetG2427 toG1519 be partakersG3310 of the inheritanceG2819 of the saintsG40 inG1722 lightG5457:
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, even the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
WhoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of everyG3956 creatureG2937:
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
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:
WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; {to fulfil…: or, fully to preach the word}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 IG2872 alsoG2532 labourG2872, strivingG75 according toG2596 hisG846 workingG1753, whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 meG1698 mightilyG1722+G1411.

To whom shall I speakH1696, and give warningH5749, that they may hearH8085? behold, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannotH3201 hearkenH7181: behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is unto them a reproachH2781; they have no delightH2654 in it.
BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 whither ye goH935 to possessH3423 it.
O ye simpleH6612, understandH995 wisdomH6195: and, ye foolsH3684, be ye of an understandingH995 heartH3820.
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
AndG2532 ye areG2075 completeG4137 inG1722 himG846, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776 of allG3956 principalityG746 andG2532 powerG1849:
AndG5037 dailyG2250+G3956 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 in everyG2596 houseG3624, they ceasedG3973 notG3756 to teachG1321 andG2532 preachG2097 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
Behold the dayH3117, behold, it is comeH935: the morningH6843 is gone forthH3318; the rodH4294 hath blossomedH6692, prideH2087 hath buddedH6524.
And I will giveH5414 you pastorsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.
ForG1063 I am jealousG2206 over youG5209 with godlyG2316 jealousyG2205: forG1063 I have espousedG718 youG5209 to oneG1520 husbandG435, that I may presentG3936 you as a chasteG53 virginG3933 to ChristG5547.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 went downG2718 toG1519 the cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, and preachedG2784 ChristG5547 unto themG846.
Then whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and taketh not warningH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and take him awayH3947, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his own headH7218. {whosoever…: Heb. he that hearing heareth}
He heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and took not warningH2094; his bloodH1818 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warningH2094 shall deliverH4422 his soulH5315.
But if the watchmanH6822 seeH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935, and blowH8628 not the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 be not warnedH2094; if the swordH2719 comeH935, and takeH3947 any personH5315 from among them, he is taken awayH3947 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1875 at the watchman'sH6822 handH3027.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
And moreoverH3148, because the preacherH6953 was wiseH2450, he still taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; yea, he gave good heedH239, and sought outH2713, and set in orderH8626 manyH7235 proverbsH4912. {moreover…: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}
ForG1063 IG1473 will giveG1325 youG5213 a mouthG4750 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whichG3739 allG3956 yourG5213 adversariesG480 shallG1410 notG3756 be ableG1410 to gainsayG471 norG3761 resistG436.
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756 atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
TeachingG1321 themG846 to observeG5083 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745 I have commandedG1781 youG5213: andG2532, loG2400, IG1473 amG1510 withG3326 youG5216 alwayG3956+G2250, even untoG2193 the endG4930 of the worldG165. AmenG281.
HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfectG5046: yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG165, norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165, that come to noughtG2673:
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}
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 he preachedG2784 ChristG5547 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, thatG3754 heG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I haveG5288 notG3756+G3361 shunnedG5288 to declareG312 unto youG5213 allG3956 the counselG1012 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he came outG1831, sawG1492 muchG4183 peopleG3793, andG2532 was moved with compassionG4697 towardG1909 themG846, becauseG3754 they wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 notG3361 havingG2192 a shepherdG4166: andG2532 he beganG756 to teachG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183.
ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350+G3303 all thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350 ofG5259 no manG3762. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned}
ForG1063 by oneG3391 offeringG4376 he hath perfectedG5048 forG1519 everG1336 them that are sanctifiedG37.
The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
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.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
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}
AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 menG435 of CyprusG2953 andG2532 CyreneG2956, whichG3748, when they were comeG1525 toG1519 AntiochG490, spakeG2980 untoG4314 the GreciansG1675, preachingG2097 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
I writeG1125 notG3756 these thingsG5023 to shameG1788 youG5209, butG235 asG5613 myG3450 belovedG27 sonsG5043 I warnG3560 you.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
InG1722 meeknessG4236 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225;
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
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}
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 weG2249 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto the JewsG2453 a stumblingblockG3303+G4625, andG1161 unto the GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472;
NowG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be preachedG2784 thatG3754 he roseG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, howG4459 sayG3004 someG5100 amongG1722 youG5213 thatG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498?
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 we stretchG5239 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 beyondG5239 our measure, asG5613 though we reachedG2185 notG3361 untoG1519 youG5209: forG1063 we are comeG5348 as far asG891 to youG5216 alsoG2532 inG1722 preaching the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547:
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;
SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 strifeG2054; andG1161 someG5100 alsoG2532 ofG1223 good willG2107:
The oneG3303 preachG2605 ChristG5547 ofG1537 contentionG2052, notG3756 sincerelyG55, supposingG3633 to addG2018 afflictionG2347 to myG3450 bondsG1199:
ButG1161 the other ofG1537 loveG26, knowingG1492 thatG3754 I am setG2749 forG1519 the defenceG627 of the gospelG2098.
WhatG5101 thenG1063? notwithstandingG4133, everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenceG4392, orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is preachedG2605; andG2532 IG5463 thereinG1722+G5129 do rejoiceG5463, yeaG235, andG2532 will rejoiceG5463.
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
