PaulG3972, andG2532 SilvanusG4610, andG2532 TimotheusG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 which is inG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216 allG3956, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 ourG2257 prayersG4335;
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
ForG3754 ourG2257 gospelG2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG5209 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG5213 forG1223 yourG5209 sake.
AndG2532 yeG5210 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG2257, andG2532 of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
SoG5620 that yeG5209 wereG1096 ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 that believeG4100 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882.
ForG1063 fromG575 youG5216 sounded outG1837 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 yourG5216 faithG4102 toG4314 God-wardG2316 is spread abroadG1831; soG5620 that weG2248 needG5532 notG3361+G2192 to speakG2980 any thingG5100.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.

So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it.
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803. {The wicked…: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
NeverthelessG235 IG1473 tellG3004 youG5213 the truthG225; It is expedientG4851 for youG5213 thatG2443 IG1473 go awayG565: forG1063 ifG3362 I goG565 notG3362 awayG565, the ComforterG3875 willG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209; butG1161 ifG1437 I departG4198, I will sendG3992 himG846 untoG4314 youG5209.
AndG2532 when he is comeG2064, heG1565 will reproveG1651 the worldG2889 ofG4012 sinG266, andG2532 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ofG4012 judgmentG2920: {reprove: or, convince}
OfG4012 sinG266+G3303, becauseG3754 they believeG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1691;
OfG4012+G1161 righteousnessG1343, becauseG3754 I goG5217 toG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 ye seeG2334 meG3165 no moreG3765;
OfG4012+G1161 judgmentG2920, becauseG3754 the princeG758 of thisG5127 worldG2889 is judgedG2919.
I haveG2192 yetG2089 many thingsG4183 to sayG3004 unto youG5213, butG235 ye cannotG3756+G1410 bear themG941 nowG737.
HowbeitG1161 whenG3752 heG1565, the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, is comeG2064, he will guideG3594 youG5209 intoG1519 allG3956 truthG225: forG1063 he shallG2980 notG3756 speakG2980 ofG575 himselfG1438; butG235 whatsoeverG3745+G302 he shall hearG191, that shall he speakG2980: andG2532 he will shewG312 youG5213 things to comeG2064.
HeG1565 shall glorifyG1392 meG1691: forG3754 he shall receiveG2983 ofG1537 mineG1699, andG2532 shall shewG312 it unto youG5213.
All thingsG3956 thatG3745 the FatherG3962 hathG2192 areG2076 mineG1699: thereforeG5124+G1223 said IG2036, thatG3754 he shall takeG2983 ofG1537 mineG1699, andG2532 shall shewG312 it unto youG5213.
ThatG2443 theirG846 heartsG2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG26, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG5547;
ForG1063 yourselvesG846, brethrenG80, knowG1492 ourG2257 entrance inG1529 untoG4314 youG5209, thatG3754 it wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756:
ButG235 evenG2532 after that we had suffered beforeG4310, andG2532 were shamefully entreatedG5195, asG2531 ye knowG1492, atG1722 PhilippiG5375, we were boldG3955 inG1722 ourG2257 GodG2316 to speakG2980 untoG4314 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 withG1722 muchG4183 contentionG73.
ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388:
ButG235 asG2531 we were allowedG1381 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be put in trustG4100 with the gospelG2098, even soG3779 we speakG2980; notG3756 asG5613 pleasingG700 menG444, butG235 GodG2316, which triethG1381 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 neitherG3777 at any timeG4218 used weG1096 flatteringG2850 wordsG1722+G3056, asG2531 ye knowG1492, norG3777 a clokeG1722+G4392 of covetousnessG4124; GodG2316 is witnessG3144:
NorG3777 ofG1537 menG444 soughtG2212 we gloryG1391, neitherG3777 ofG575 youG5216, norG3777 yet ofG575 othersG243, when we mightG1410 have beenG1511 burdensomeG1722+G922, asG5613 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. {been…: or, used authority}
ButG235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216, even asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG302+G2282 herG1438 childrenG5043:
SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG27 unto usG2254.
ForG1063 ye rememberG3421, brethrenG80, ourG2257 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449: forG1063 labouringG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, becauseG4314 we wouldG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 unto anyG5100 of youG5216, we preachedG2784 untoG1519 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316.
YeG5210 are witnessesG3144, andG2532 GodG2316 also, howG5613 holilyG3743 andG2532 justlyG1346 andG2532 unblameablyG274 we behaved ourselvesG1096 among youG5213 that believeG4100:
AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 and chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5209+G5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043,
ForG1063 though I beG5607 freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the moreG4119.
AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453; to them that are underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are underG5259 the lawG3551;
To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG5607 notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are without lawG459.
To the weakG772 became IG1096 asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the weakG772: I am madeG1096 all thingsG3956 to allG3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel'sG2098 sakeG1223, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereofG846 withG4791 you.
InG1722 the dayG2250 whenG3753 GodG2316 shall judgeG2919 the secretsG2927 of menG444 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098.
For the wickedH7563 boastethH1984 of his heart'sH5315 desireH8378, and blessethH1288 the covetousH1214, whom the LORDH3068 abhorrethH5006. {heart's: Heb. soul's} {blesseth…: or, the covetous blesseth himself, he abhorreth the LORD}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
AndG1161 whenG5613 they were comeG3854 toG4314 himG846, he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987, fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 thatG575+G3739 I cameG1910 intoG1519 AsiaG773, after what mannerG4459 I have beenG1096 withG3326 youG5216 at allG3956 seasonsG5550,
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
ButG1161 ifG1499 ourG2257 gospelG2098 beG2076 hidG2572, it isG2076 hidG2572 toG1722 them that are lostG622:
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
AndG1161 theyG1565 went forthG1831, and preachedG2784 every whereG3837, the LordG2962 working withG4903 them, andG2532 confirmingG950 the wordG3056 withG1223 signsG4592 followingG1872. AmenG281.
While PeterG4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG5023 wordsG4487, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 them which heardG191 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 came withG4905 PeterG4074, becauseG3754 that onG1909 the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speak withG2980 tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074,
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
ServingG1398 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 humility of mindG5012, andG2532 with manyG4183 tearsG1144, andG2532 temptationsG3986, whichG3588 befellG4819 meG3427 byG1722 the lying in waitG1917 of the JewsG2453:
ButG235 thoughG2532+G1437 weG2249, orG2228 an angelG32 fromG1537 heavenG3772, preach any other gospelG2097 unto youG5213 thanG3844 that whichG3739 we have preachedG2097 unto youG5213, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
AsG5613 we said beforeG4280, soG2532 say IG3004 nowG737 againG3825, If anyG1536 man preachG2097 any otherG3844 gospelG2097 unto youG5209 thanG3844 thatG3739 ye have receivedG3880, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
ForG1063 do IG3982 nowG737 persuadeG3982 menG444, orG2228 GodG2316? orG2228 do I seekG2212 to pleaseG700 menG444? forG1063 ifG1487 IG700 yetG2089 pleasedG700 menG444, I shouldG302 notG3756 beG2252 the servantG1401 of ChristG5547.
ButG1161 I certifyG1107 youG5213, brethrenG80, thatG3754 the gospelG2098 whichG3588 was preachedG2097 ofG5259 meG1700 isG2076 notG3756 afterG2596 manG444.
ForG1063 IG1473 neitherG3761 receivedG3880 itG846 ofG3844 manG444, neitherG3777 was I taughtG1321 it, butG235 byG1223 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 asG1722 IG3165 beganG756 to speakG2980, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 themG846, asG5618+G2532 onG1909 usG2248 atG1722 the beginningG746.
ThenG1161 remembered IG3415 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962, howG5613 that he saidG3004, JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG5210 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForasmuchG1487 thenG3767 asG5613 GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 the likeG2470 giftG1431 asG2532 he did unto usG2254, who believedG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547+G1161; whatG5101 wasG2252 IG1473, that I couldG1415 withstandG2967 GodG2316?
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they held their peaceG2270, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, ThenG686 hathG1325 GodG2316 alsoG2534 to the GentilesG1484 grantedG1325 repentanceG3341 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
I have covetedG1937 no man'sG3762 silverG694, orG2228 goldG5553, orG2228 apparelG2441.
YeaG1161, ye yourselvesG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 theseG3778 handsG5495 have ministeredG5256 unto myG3450 necessitiesG5532, andG2532 to them that wereG5607 withG3326 meG1700.
I have shewedG5263 youG5213 all thingsG3956, how thatG3754 soG3779 labouringG2872 ye oughtG1163 to supportG482 the weakG770, andG5037 to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, howG3754 heG846 saidG2036, It isG2076 moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.
AndG1161 I went upG305 byG2596 revelationG602, andG2532 communicatedG394 unto themG846 that gospelG2098 whichG3739 I preachG2784 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, butG1161 privatelyG2596+G2398 to them which were of reputationG1380, lest by any meansG3381+G4458 I should runG5143, orG2228 had runG5143, inG1519 vainG2756. {privately: or, severally}
AndG2532 a certainG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070, a seller of purpleG4211, of the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, which worshippedG4576 GodG2316, heardG191 us: whoseG3739 heartG2588 the LordG2962 openedG1272, that she attendedG4337 unto the things which were spokenG2980 ofG5259 PaulG3972.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 ye areG2075 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellethG3611 inG1722 youG5213?
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
ForG1063 I determinedG2919 notG3756 to knowG1492 any thingG5100 amongG1722 youG5213, saveG1508 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 himG5126 crucifiedG4717.
AndG2532 IG1473 wasG1096 withG4314 youG5209 inG1722 weaknessG769, andG2532 inG1722 fearG5401, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 tremblingG5156.
AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 was notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man'sG442 wisdomG4678, butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of powerG1411: {enticing: or, persuasible}
ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600 inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of menG444, butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. {stand: Gr. be}
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: forG1063 it isG2076 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100; to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
Let us draw nearG4334 withG3326 a trueG228 heartG2588 inG1722 full assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, havingG4472 our heartsG2588 sprinkledG4472 fromG575 an evilG4190 conscienceG4893, andG2532 our bodiesG4983 washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204.
ForG1063 I thinkG1380 thatG3754 GodG2316 hath set forthG584 usG2248 the apostlesG652 lastG2078, asG5613 it were appointed to deathG1935: forG3754 we are madeG1096 a spectacleG2302 unto the worldG2889, andG2532 to angelsG32, andG2532 to menG444. {spectacle: Gr. theatre}
WeG2249 are foolsG3474 forG1223 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1223, butG1161 yeG5210 are wiseG5429 inG1722 ChristG5547; weG2249 are weakG772, butG1161 yeG5210 are strongG2478; yeG5210 are honourableG1741, butG1161 weG2249 are despisedG820.
EvenG891 unto this presentG737 hourG5610 weG3983 bothG2532 hungerG3983, andG2532 thirstG1372, andG2532 are nakedG1130, andG2532 are buffetedG2852, andG2532 have no certain dwellingplaceG790;
AndG2532 labourG2872, workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495: being reviledG3058, we blessG2127; being persecutedG1377, we suffer itG430:
Being defamedG987, we intreatG3870: we are madeG1096 asG5613 the filthG4027 of the worldG2889, and are the offscouringG4067 of all thingsG3956 untoG2193 this dayG737.
RememberG3421 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG3450 gospelG2098:
ForG1063 I willG5111 notG3756 dareG5111 to speakG2980 of anyG5100 of those things whichG3739 ChristG5547 hathG2716 notG3756 wroughtG2716 byG1223 meG1700, to makeG1519 the GentilesG1484 obedientG5218, by wordG3056 andG2532 deedG2041,
ByG1722 purenessG54, byG1722 knowledgeG1108, byG1722 longsufferingG3115, byG1722 kindnessG5544, byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, byG1722 loveG26 unfeignedG505,
WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218+G4417 neverG3364 fallG4218+G4417:
Even asG2531 IG2504 pleaseG700 allG3956 men in allG3956 things, notG3361 seekingG2212 mine ownG1683 profitG4851, butG235 the profitG3588 of manyG4183, thatG2443 they may be savedG4982.
ThroughG1722 mightyG1411 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, byG1722 the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316; soG5620 that fromG575 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 round aboutG2945 untoG3360 IllyricumG2437, IG3165 have fully preachedG4137 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
He thereforeG3767 that ministerethG2023 to youG5213 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG5213, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
ButG1161 unto themG846 whichG3588 are calledG2822, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672, ChristG5547 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, andG2532 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG235 have renouncedG550 the hidden thingsG2927 of dishonestyG152, notG3361 walkingG4043 inG1722 craftinessG3834, norG3366 handlingG1389 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 deceitfullyG1389; butG235 by manifestationG5321 of the truthG225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 toG4314 everyG3956 man'sG444 conscienceG4893 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. {dishonesty: Gr. shame}
AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 was notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man'sG442 wisdomG4678, butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of powerG1411: {enticing: or, persuasible}
ButG1161 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 isG2076 loveG26, joyG5479, peaceG1515, longsufferingG3115, gentlenessG5544, goodnessG19, faithG4102,
GivingG1325 noG3367 offenceG4349 inG1722 any thingG3367, thatG3363 the ministryG1248 beG3469 notG3363 blamedG3469:
ButG235 inG1722 allG3956 things approvingG4921 ourselvesG1438 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of GodG2316, inG1722 muchG4183 patienceG5281, inG1722 afflictionsG2347, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 distressesG4730, {approving: Gr. commending}
InG1722 stripesG4127, inG1722 imprisonmentsG5438, inG1722 tumultsG181, inG1722 laboursG2873, inG1722 watchingsG70, inG1722 fastingsG3521; {in tumults: or, in tossings to and fro}
ByG1722 purenessG54, byG1722 knowledgeG1108, byG1722 longsufferingG3115, byG1722 kindnessG5544, byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, byG1722 loveG26 unfeignedG505,
ByG1722 the wordG3056 of truthG225, byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, byG1223 the armourG3696 of righteousnessG1343 on the right handG1188 andG2532 on the leftG710,
ByG1223 honourG1391 andG2532 dishonourG819, byG1223 evil reportG1426 andG2532 good reportG2162: asG5613 deceiversG4108, andG2532 yet trueG227;
AsG5613 unknownG50, andG2532 yet well knownG1921; asG5613 dyingG599, andG2532, beholdG2400, we liveG2198; asG5613 chastenedG3811, andG2532 notG3361 killedG2289;
AsG5613 sorrowfulG3076, yetG1161 alwayG104 rejoicingG5463; asG5613 poorG4434, yetG1161 makingG4148 manyG4183 richG4148; asG5613 havingG2192 nothingG3367, andG2532 yet possessingG2722 all thingsG3956.
ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600 inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of menG444, butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. {stand: Gr. be}
Those thingsG5023, whichG3739 ye haveG3129 bothG2532 learnedG3129, andG2532 receivedG3880, andG2532 heardG191, andG2532 seenG1492 inG1722 meG1698, doG4238: andG2532 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 shall beG2071 withG3326 youG5216.
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
ForG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 howG4459 ye oughtG1163 to followG3401 usG2248: forG3754 we behavedG812 notG3756 ourselves disorderlyG812 amongG1722 youG5213;
NeitherG3761 did we eatG5315 any man'sG3844+G5100 breadG740 for noughtG1432; butG235 wroughtG2038 withG1722 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, thatG4314 we mightG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 to anyG5100 of youG5216:
NotG3756 becauseG3754 we haveG2192 notG3756 powerG1849, butG235 toG2443 makeG1325 ourselvesG1438 an ensampleG5179 unto youG5213 toG1519 followG3401 usG2248.
(ForG1063 the weaponsG3696 of ourG2257 warfareG4752 are notG3756 carnalG4559, butG235 mightyG1415 through GodG2316 toG4314 the pulling downG2506 of strong holdsG3794;) {through God: or, to God}
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
LetG2706 no manG3367 despiseG2706 thyG4675 youthG3503; butG235 be thouG1096 an exampleG5179 of the believersG4103, inG1722 wordG3056, inG1722 conversationG391, inG1722 charityG26, inG1722 spiritG4151, inG1722 faithG4102, inG1722 purityG47.
TillG2193 I comeG2064, give attendanceG4337 to readingG320, to exhortationG3874, to doctrineG1319.
NeglectG272 notG3361 the giftG5486 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3739 was givenG1325 theeG4671 byG1223 prophecyG4394, withG3326 the laying onG1936 of the handsG5495 of the presbyteryG4244.
Meditate uponG3191 these thingsG5023; give thyselfG2468 wholly toG1722 themG5125; thatG2443 thyG4675 profitingG4297 mayG5600 appearG5318 toG1722 allG3956. {to all: or, in all things}
Take heedG1907 unto thyselfG4572, andG2532 unto the doctrineG1319; continueG1961 in themG846: forG1063 in doingG4160 thisG5124 thou shaltG4982 bothG2532 saveG4982 thyselfG4572, andG2532 them that hearG191 theeG4675.
Casting downG2507 imaginationsG3053, andG2532 everyG3956 high thingG5313 that exalteth itselfG1869 againstG2596 the knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316, andG2532 bringing into captivityG163 everyG3956 thoughtG3540 toG1519 the obedienceG5218 of ChristG5547; {imaginations: or, reasonings}
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
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}
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}
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,
ForG1063 it isG2076 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
DoG4105 notG3361 errG4105, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80.
EveryG3956 goodG18 giftG1394 andG2532 everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 isG2076 from aboveG509, and cometh downG2597 fromG575 the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, withG3844 whomG3739 isG1762 noG3756 variablenessG3883, neitherG2228 shadowG644 of turningG5157.
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
