This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
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}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
HoldingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247, beingG5607 found blamelessG410.
Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077 the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291 their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573.
ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247 wellG2573 purchaseG4046 to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. {used…: or, ministered}
These thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto theeG4671, hopingG1679 to comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032:
ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019, thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492 howG4459 thou oughtestG1163 to behave thyselfG390 inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076 the churchG1577 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. {ground: or, stay}
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.

LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
ButG1161 thouG4771, OG5599 manG444 of GodG2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG5023; andG1161 follow afterG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patienceG5281, meeknessG4236.
To speak evil ofG987 no manG3367, to beG1511 no brawlersG269, but gentleG1933, shewingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444.
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And if any manH376 saidH559 unto him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay; but thou shalt giveH5414 it me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394. {presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068.
Do not drinkH8354 wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, thou, nor thy sonsH1121 with thee, when ye goH935 into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, lest ye dieH4191: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755:
InG1722 meeknessG4236 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225;
He that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215 troublethH5916 his own houseH1004; but he that hatethH8130 giftsH4979 shall liveH2421.
And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980 not in his waysH1870, but turned asideH5186 afterH310 lucreH1215, and tookH3947 bribesH7810, and pervertedH5186 judgmentH4941.
BetterH2896 is the endH319 of a thingH1697 than the beginningH7225 thereof: and the patientH750 in spiritH7307 is betterH2896 than the proudH1362 in spiritH7307.
From whenceG4159 come warsG4171 andG2532 fightingsG3163 amongG1722 youG5213? come they notG3756 henceG1782, even ofG1537 yourG5216 lustsG2237 that warG4754 inG1722 yourG5216 membersG3196? {fightings: or, brawlings} {lusts: or, pleasures}
But GehaziH1522, the servantH5288 of ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430, saidH559, Behold, my masterH113 hath sparedH2820 NaamanH5283 this SyrianH761, in not receivingH3947 at his handsH3027 that which he broughtH935: but, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, I will runH7323 afterH310 him, and takeH3947 somewhatH3972 of him.
So GehaziH1522 followedH7291 afterH310 NaamanH5283. And when NaamanH5283 sawH7200 him runningH7323 afterH310 him, he lighted downH5307 from the chariotH4818 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Is all wellH7965? {Is…: Heb. Is there peace?}
And he saidH559, All is wellH7965. My masterH113 hath sentH7971 me, sayingH559, Behold, even now there be comeH935 to me from mountH2022 EphraimH669 twoH8147 young menH5288 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030: giveH5414 them, I pray thee, a talentH3603 of silverH3701, and twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899.
And NaamanH5283 saidH559, Be contentH2974, takeH3947 two talentsH3603. And he urgedH6555 him, and boundH6696 twoH8147 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bagsH2754, with twoH8147 changesH2487 of garmentsH899, and laidH5414 them upon twoH8147 of his servantsH5288; and they bareH5375 them beforeH6440 him.
And when he cameH935 to the towerH6076, he tookH3947 them from their handH3027, and bestowedH6485 them in the houseH1004: and he let the menH582 goH7971, and they departedH3212. {tower: or, secret place}
But he went inH935, and stoodH5975 before his masterH113. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, WhenceH370 comest thou, GehaziH1522? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 wentH1980 no whitherH575. {no whither: Heb. not hither or thither}
And he saidH559 unto him, WentH1980 not mine heartH3820 with thee, when the manH376 turnedH2015 again from his chariotH4818 to meetH7125 thee? Is it a timeH6256 to receiveH3947 moneyH3701, and to receiveH3947 garmentsH899, and oliveyardsH2132, and vineyardsH3754, and sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198?
The leprosyH6883 therefore of NaamanH5283 shall cleaveH1692 unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233 for everH5769. And he went outH3318 from his presenceH6440 a leperH6879 as white as snowH7950.
WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them! {inflame: of, pursue}
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
Yea, they are greedyH5794+H5315 dogsH3611 which canH3045 never haveH3045 enoughH7654, and they are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understandH995: they all lookH6437 to their own wayH1870, every oneH376 for his gainH1215, from his quarterH7097. {greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can…: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
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}
For from the leastH6996 of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215; and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
WoeG3759 unto themG846! forG3754 they have goneG4198 in the wayG3598 of CainG2535, andG2532 ran greedily afterG1632 the errorG4106 of BalaamG903 for rewardG3408, andG2532 perishedG622 in the gainsayingG485 of CoreG2879.
WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stoppedG1993, whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 housesG3624, teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 notG3361, forG5484 filthyG150 lucre'sG2771 sakeG5484.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall inheritH3423 them: for every one from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215, from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034 flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196! {overcome: Heb. broken}
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
IG1473 JohnG2491, whoG3588 alsoG2532 am yourG5216 brotherG80, andG2532 companionG4791 inG1722 tribulationG2347, andG2532 inG1722 the kingdomG932 andG2532 patienceG5281 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, wasG1096 inG1722 the isleG3520 that is calledG2564 PatmosG3963, forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 forG1223 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
But theyH428 also have erredH7686 through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104 ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582 through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686 in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328 in judgmentH6417.
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
ComeH857 ye, say they, I will fetchH3947 wineH3196, and we will fillH5433 ourselves with strong drinkH7941; and to morrowH4279 shall be as this dayH3117, and muchH3966 moreH3499 abundantH1419.
Who is there even among you that would shutH5462 the doorsH1817 for nought? neither do ye kindleH215 fire on mine altarH4196 for noughtH2600. I have no pleasureH2656 in you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, neither will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 at your handH3027.
Neither shall any priestH3548 drinkH8354 wineH3196, when they enterH935 into the innerH6442 courtH2691.
AndG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, It is writtenG1125, MyG3450 houseG3624 shall be calledG2564 the houseG3624 of prayerG4335; butG1161 yeG5210 have madeG4160 itG846 a denG4693 of thievesG3027.
IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in the spiritH7307 and falsehoodH8267 do lieH3576, saying, I will prophesyH5197 unto thee of wineH3196 and of strong drinkH7941; he shall even be the prophetH5197 of this peopleH5971. {walking…: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}
ButG1161 he that isG5607 an hirelingG3411, andG2532 notG3756 the shepherdG4166, whoseG3739 ownG2398 the sheepG4263 areG1526 notG3756, seethG2334 the wolfG3074 comingG2064, andG2532 leavethG863 the sheepG4263, andG2532 fleethG5343: andG2532 the wolfG3074 catchethG726 themG846, andG2532 scatterethG4650 the sheepG4263.
WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 a faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 hath made rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 themG846 meatG5160 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 he shall makeG2525 himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 hisG846 goodsG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 evilG2556 servantG1401 shall sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064;
AndG2532 shall beginG756 to smiteG5180 his fellowservantsG4889, andG1161 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 withG3326 the drunkenG3184;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 shall comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 for him, andG2532 inG1722 an hourG5610 thatG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 aware ofG1097,
AndG2532 shall cutG1371 himG846 asunderG1371, andG2532 appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the hypocritesG5273: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. {cut…: or, cut him off}
The hirelingG3411 fleethG5343, becauseG3754 he isG2076 an hirelingG3411, andG2532+G846 carethG3199 notG3756 forG4012 the sheepG4263.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 that faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whomG3739 his lordG2962 shall make rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 them their portion of meatG4620 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 he will make himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 that heG846 hathG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 servantG1401 sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064; andG2532 shall beginG756 to beatG5180 the menservantsG3816 andG2532 maidensG3814, andG5037 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 to be drunkenG3182;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 will comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 forG4328 him, andG2532 atG1722 an hourG5610 whenG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 awareG1097, andG2532 will cutG1371 himG846 in sunderG1371, andG2532 will appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the unbelieversG571. {cut…: or, cut him off}
WhyG1302 wasG4097 notG3756 thisG5124 ointmentG3464 soldG4097 for three hundredG5145 penceG1220, andG2532 givenG1325 to the poorG4434?
AndG1161 take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438, lest at any timeG3379 yourG5216 heartsG2588 be overchargedG925 withG1722 surfeitingG2897, andG2532 drunkennessG3178, andG2532 caresG3308 of this lifeG982, andG2532 so thatG1565 dayG2250 comeG2186 uponG1909 youG5209 unawaresG160.
ForG1063 asG5613 a snareG3803 shall it comeG1904 onG1909 allG3956 them that dwellG2521 onG1909 the faceG4383 of the wholeG3956 earthG1093.
Watch yeG69 thereforeG3767, and prayG1189 alwaysG1722+G3956+G2540, thatG2443 ye may be accounted worthyG2661 to escapeG1628 allG3956 these thingsG5023 that shallG3195 come to passG1096, andG2532 to standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of manG444.
ThisG5124 he saidG2036, notG3756 thatG3754 heG846 caredG3199 forG4012 the poorG4434; butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG2258 a thiefG2812, andG2532 hadG2192 the bagG1101, andG2532 bareG941 what was put thereinG906.
AndG2532 beG3182 notG3361 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, whereinG1722+G3739 isG2076 excessG810; butG235 be filledG4137 withG1722 the SpiritG4151;
AndG1161 when SimonG4613 sawG2300 thatG3754 throughG1223 laying onG1936 of the apostles'G652 handsG5495 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 was givenG1325, he offeredG4374 themG846 moneyG5536,
SayingG3004, GiveG1325 me alsoG2504 thisG5026 powerG1849, thatG2443 onG2007 whomsoeverG3739+G1437 I layG2007 handsG5495, he may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, ThyG4675 moneyG694 perishG1498+G1519+G684 withG4862 theeG4671, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 that the giftG1431 of GodG2316 may be purchasedG2932 withG1223 moneyG5536.
ThouG4671 hastG2076 neitherG3756 partG3310 norG3761 lotG2819 inG1722 thisG5129 matterG3056: forG1063 thyG4675 heartG2588 isG2076 notG3756 rightG2117 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
The aged womenG4247 likewiseG5615, that they be inG1722 behaviourG2688 as becometh holinessG2412, notG3361 false accusersG1228, notG3361 givenG1402 to muchG4183 wineG3631, teachers of good thingsG2567; {holiness: or, holy women} {false…: or, one who foments strife}
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
AndG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 shall weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 overG1909 herG846; forG3754 no manG3762 buyethG59 theirG846 merchandiseG1117 any moreG3765:
The merchandiseG1117 of goldG5557, andG2532 silverG696, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 of pearlsG3135, andG2532 fine linenG1040, andG2532 purpleG4209, andG2532 silkG4596, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 allG3956 thyineG2367 woodG3586, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 of ivoryG1661, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 ofG1537 most preciousG5093 woodG3586, andG2532 of brassG5475, andG2532 ironG4604, andG2532 marbleG3139, {thyine: or, sweet}
AndG2532 cinnamonG2792, andG2532 odoursG2368, andG2532 ointmentsG3464, andG2532 frankincenseG3030, andG2532 wineG3631, andG2532 oilG1637, andG2532 fine flourG4585, andG2532 wheatG4621, andG2532 beastsG2934, andG2532 sheepG4263, andG2532 horsesG2462, andG2532 chariotsG4480, andG2532 slavesG4983, andG2532 soulsG5590 of menG444. {slaves: or, bodies}
