FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG38, that yeG5209 should abstainG567 fromG575 fornicationG4202:
That every oneG1538 of youG5216 should knowG1492 how to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG38 andG2532 honourG5092;
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
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}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG167, butG235 untoG1722 holinessG38.
He thereforeG5105 that despisethG114, despisethG114 notG3756 manG444, butG235 GodG2316, who hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG846 holyG40 SpiritG4151. {despiseth: or, rejecteth}
ButG1161 as touchingG4012 brotherly loveG5360 ye needG2192+G5532 notG3756 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213: forG1063 yeG5210 yourselvesG846 areG2075 taught of GodG2312 toG1519 loveG25 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123;
AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to work withG2038 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213;
ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367. {of…: or, of no man}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}

Thou shalt not stealH1589.
And if thou sellH4376 oughtH4465 unto thy neighbourH5997, or buyestH7069 ought of thy neighbour'sH5997 handH3027, ye shall not oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH251:
To me belongeth vengeanceH5359, and recompenceH8005; their footH7272 shall slideH4131 in due timeH6256: for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at handH7138, and the things that shall comeH6264 upon them make hasteH2363.
ButG1161 I will forewarnG5263 youG5213 whomG5101 ye shall fearG5399: FearG5399 him, which afterG3326 he hath killedG615 hathG2192 powerG1849 to castG1685 intoG1519 hellG1067; yeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, FearG5399 himG5126.
Thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour'sH7453 houseH1004, thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802, nor his manservantH5650, nor his maidservantH519, nor his oxH7794, nor his assH2543, nor any thing that is thy neighbour'sH7453.
Ye shall not therefore oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997; but thou shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430: for I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
EnvyingsG5355, murdersG5408, drunkennessG3178, revellingsG2970, andG2532 suchG5125 likeG3664: of the whichG3739 I tellG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302, asG2531 I haveG4277 alsoG2532 told you in time pastG4277, thatG3754 they which doG4238 such thingsG5108 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
Behold, here I am: witnessH6030 against me before the LORDH3068, and before his anointedH4899: whose oxH7794 have I takenH3947? or whose assH2543 have I takenH3947? or whom have I defraudedH6231? whom have I oppressedH7533? or of whose handH3027 have I received any bribeH3724 to blindH5956 mine eyesH5869 therewith? and I will restoreH7725 it you. {bribe: Heb. ransom} {to blind…: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him}
What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him?
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,
Thou shalt not defraudH6231 thy neighbourH7453, neither robH1497 him: the wagesH6468 of him that is hiredH7916 shall not abideH3885 with thee all night until the morningH1242.
And they saidH559, Thou hast not defraudedH6231 us, nor oppressedH7533 us, neither hast thou takenH3947 oughtH3972 of any man'sH376 handH3027.
O LORDH3068 GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth; O GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth, shewH3313 thyself. {God…: Heb. God of revenges} {shew…: Heb. shine forth}
If a manH376 be foundH4672 stealingH1589 anyH5315 of his brethrenH251 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and maketh merchandiseH6014 of him, or sellethH4376 him; then that thiefH1590 shall dieH4191; and thou shalt putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
RobH1497 not the poorH1800, because he is poorH1800: neither oppressH1792 the afflictedH6041 in the gateH8179:
I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 will maintainH6213 the causeH1779 of the afflictedH6041, and the rightH4941 of the poorH34.
Thou shalt not have in thy bagH3599 divers weightsH68+H68, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. {divers…: Heb. a stone and a stone}
Thou shalt not have in thine houseH1004 divers measuresH374+H374, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. {divers…: Heb. an ephah and an ephah}
But thou shalt have a perfectH8003 and justH6664 weightH68, a perfectH8003 and justH6664 measureH374 shalt thou have: that thy daysH3117 may be lengthenedH748 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee.
For all that doH6213 such thingsH428, and all that doH6213 unrighteouslyH5766, are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
RobH1497 not the poorH1800, because he is poorH1800: neither oppressH1792 the afflictedH6041 in the gateH8179:
A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delightH7522. {A false…: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just…: Heb. perfect stone}
And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375: so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. {oppress: or, defraud}
For the LORDH3068 will pleadH7378 their causeH7379, and spoilH6906 the soulH5315 of those that spoiledH6906 them.
A justH4941 weightH6425 and balanceH3976 are the LORD'SH3068: all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639. {the weights: Heb. the stones}
WoeH1945 to her that is filthyH4754 and pollutedH1351, to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892! {her…: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}
If thou seestH7200 the oppressionH6233 of the poorH7326, and violentH1499 perverting of judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664 in a provinceH4082, marvelH8539 not at the matterH2656: for he that is higherH1364 than the highestH1364 regardethH8104; and there be higherH1364 than theyH5921. {at the…: Heb. at the will, or, purpose}
It is naughtH7451, it is naughtH7451, saithH559 the buyerH7069: but when he is goneH235 his way, then he boastethH1984.
ButG1161 yeG5210 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG5216, andG2532 drawG846+G1670 youG5209 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922?
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
Divers weightsH68+H68 are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068; and a falseH4820 balanceH3976 is not goodH2896. {a false…: Heb. balance of deceit}
Therefore saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mighty OneH46 of IsraelH3478, AhH1945, I will easeH5162 me of mine adversariesH6862, and avengeH5358 me of mine enemiesH341:
Whoso robbethH1497 his fatherH1 or his motherH517, and saithH559, It is no transgressionH6588; the same is the companionH2270 of a destroyerH376+H7843. {a destroyer: Heb. a man destroying}
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who holdG2722 the truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93;
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
None callethH7121 for justiceH6664, nor any pleadethH8199 for truthH530: they trustH982 in vanityH8414, and speakH1696 liesH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 iniquityH205.
They hatchH1234 cockatrice'H6848 eggsH1000, and weaveH707 the spider'sH5908 webH6980: he that eatethH398 of their eggsH1000 diethH4191, and that which is crushedH2116 breaketh outH1234 into a viperH660. {cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed…: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}
Their websH6980 shall not become garmentsH899, neither shall they coverH3680 themselves with their worksH4639: their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquityH205, and the actH6467 of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709.
Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their pathsH4546. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
LetG538 no manG3367 deceiveG538 youG5209 with vainG2756 wordsG3056: forG1063 becauseG1223 of these thingsG5023 comethG2064 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 uponG1909 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543. {disobedience: or, unbelief}
Take ye heedH8104 every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982 ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117 supplantH6117, and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980 with slandersH7400. {neighbour: or, friend}
InG1722 flamingG5395 fireG4442 takingG1325 vengeanceG1557 on them that knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 that obeyG5219 notG3361 the gospelG2098 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {taking: or, yielding}
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Thus saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; Let it sufficeH7227 you, O princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: removeH5493 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, take awayH7311 your exactionsH1646 from my peopleH5971, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069. {exactions: Heb. expulsions}
Ye shall have justH6664 balancesH3976, and a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 bathH1324.
The ephahH374 and the bathH1324 shall be of oneH259 measureH8506, that the bathH1324 may containH5375 the tenth partH4643 of an homerH2563, and the ephahH374 the tenth partH6224 of an homerH2563: the measureH4971 thereof shall be after the homerH2563.
And the shekelH8255 shall be twentyH6242 gerahsH1626: twentyH6242 shekelsH8255, fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 shekelsH8255, fifteenH2568+H6235 shekelsH8255, shall be your manehH4488.
This is the oblationH8641 that ye shall offerH7311; the sixth partH8345 of an ephahH374 of an homerH2563 of wheatH2406, and ye shall give the sixth partH8341 of an ephahH374 of an homerH2563 of barleyH8184:
Concerning the ordinanceH2706 of oilH8081, the bathH1324 of oilH8081, ye shall offer the tenth partH4643 of a bathH1324 out of the corH3734, which is an homerH2563 of tenH6235 bathsH1324; for tenH6235 bathsH1324 are an homerH2563:
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?
The justH6662 LORDH3068 is in the midstH7130 thereof; he will not doH6213 iniquityH5766: everyH1242 morningH1242 doth he bringH5414 his judgmentH4941 to lightH216, he failethH5737 not; but the unjustH5767 knowethH3045 no shameH1322. {every…: Heb. morning by morning}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
Thou knowestG1492 the commandmentsG1785, DoG3431 notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, DoG5407 notG3361 killG5407, DoG2813 notG3361 stealG2813, DoG5576 notG3361 bear false witnessG5576, DefraudG650 notG3361, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384.
NowG2235 thereforeG3303+G3767 there isG2076 utterlyG3654 a faultG2275 amongG1722 youG5213, becauseG3754 ye goG2192 to lawG2917 one withG3326 anotherG1438. WhyG1302 do yeG91 notG3780 ratherG3123 take wrongG91? whyG1302 do yeG650 notG3780 ratherG3123 suffer yourselves to be defraudedG650?
NayG235, yeG5210 do wrongG91, andG2532 defraudG650, andG2532 thatG5023 your brethrenG80.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
