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.

HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
Even asG5618 the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.
AndG1161 whenG3753 he cameG1096 uponG1909 the stairsG304, so it wasG4819, that he was borneG941 ofG5259 the soldiersG4757 forG1223 the violenceG970 of the peopleG3793.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.
IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches? {mammon: or, riches}
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man'sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212?
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
AndG1161 StephenG4736, fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 powerG1411, didG4160 greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG2992.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, WellG2095, thou goodG18 servantG1401: becauseG3754 thou hast beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 a very littleG1646, haveG2192 thou authorityG2468+G1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172.
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516 inG1722 the councilG4892, looking stedfastlyG816 onG1519 himG846, sawG1492 hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, (ye knowG1492 the houseG3614 of StephanasG4734, thatG3754 it isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882, andG2532 that they have addictedG5021 themselvesG1438 toG1519 the ministryG1248 of the saintsG40,)
ThenG1161 saidG2036 the high priestG749, AreG1487+G686+G2192 these thingsG5023 soG3779?
AndG1161 he saidG5346, MenG435, brethrenG80, andG2532 fathersG3962, hearkenG191; The GodG2316 of gloryG1391 appearedG3700 unto ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, when he wasG5607 inG1722 MesopotamiaG3318, beforeG4250+G2228 heG846 dweltG2730 inG1722 CharranG5488,
AndG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Get theeG1831 out ofG1537 thyG4675 countryG1093, andG2532 fromG1537 thyG4675 kindredG4772, andG2532 comeG1204 intoG1519 the landG1093 whichG3739+G302 I shall shewG1166 theeG4671.
ThenG5119 came heG1831 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of the ChaldaeansG5466, and dweltG2730 inG1722 CharranG5488: and from thenceG2547, whenG3326 hisG846 fatherG3962 was deadG599, he removedG3351 himG846 intoG1519 thisG5026 landG1093, whereinG1519+G3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 dwellG2730.
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 noneG3756 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 itG846, no, notG3761 so much as to setG968 his footG4228 onG968: yetG2532 he promisedG1861 that he would giveG1325 itG846 to himG846 forG1519 a possessionG2697, andG2532 to hisG846 seedG4690 afterG3326 himG846, when as yet heG846 hadG5607 noG3756 childG5043.
AndG1161 GodG2316 spakeG2980 on this wiseG3779, ThatG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 shouldG2071 sojournG3941 inG1722 a strangeG245 landG1093; andG2532 that they should bringG1402 themG846 into bondageG1402, andG2532 entreat them evilG2559 four hundredG5071 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 the nationG1484 to whomG3739+G1437 they shall be in bondageG1398 willG2919 IG1473 judgeG2919, saidG2036 GodG2316: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 shall they come forthG1831, andG2532 serveG3000 meG3427 inG1722 thisG5129 placeG5117.
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG3779 Abraham begatG1080 IsaacG2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4059 himG846 the eighthG3590 dayG2250; andG2532 IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384; andG2532 JacobG2384 begat the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.
AndG2532 the patriarchsG3966, moved with envyG2206, soldG591 JosephG2501 intoG1519 EgyptG125: butG2532 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846,
AndG2532 deliveredG1807 himG846 out ofG1537 allG3956 hisG846 afflictionsG2347, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 favourG5485 andG2532 wisdomG4678 in the sightG1726 of PharaohG5328 kingG935 of EgyptG125; andG2532 he madeG2525 himG846 governorG2233 overG1909 EgyptG125 andG2532 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624.
NowG1161 there cameG2064 a dearthG3042 overG1909 allG3650 the landG1093 of EgyptG125 andG2532 ChanaanG5477, andG2532 greatG3173 afflictionG2347: andG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962 foundG2147 noG3756 sustenanceG5527.
ButG1161 when JacobG2384 heardG191 that there wasG5607 cornG4621 inG1722 EgyptG125, he sent outG1821 ourG2257 fathersG3962 firstG4412.
AndG2532 atG1722 the secondG1208 time JosephG2501 was made knownG319 to hisG846 brethrenG80; andG2532 Joseph'sG2501 kindredG1085 was madeG1096 knownG5318 unto PharaohG5328.
ThenG1161 sentG649 JosephG2501, and calledG3333 hisG846 fatherG3962 JacobG2384 to him, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 kindredG4772+G1722, threescoreG1440 and fifteenG4002 soulsG5590.
SoG1161 JacobG2384 went downG2597 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 diedG5053, heG846, andG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962,
AndG2532 were carried overG3346 intoG1519 SychemG4966, andG2532 laidG5087 inG1722 the sepulchreG3418 thatG3739 AbrahamG11 boughtG5608 for a sumG5092 of moneyG694 ofG3844 the sonsG5207 of EmmorG1697 the fatherG3588 of SychemG4966.
ButG1161 whenG2531 the timeG5550 of the promiseG1860 drew nighG1448, whichG3739 GodG2316 had swornG3660 to AbrahamG11, the peopleG2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125,
TillG891+G3739 anotherG2087 kingG935 aroseG450, whichG3739 knewG1492 notG3756 JosephG2501.
The sameG3778 dealt subtillyG2686 with ourG2257 kindredG1085, and evil entreatedG2559 ourG2257 fathersG3962, so thatG4160 they cast outG1570 theirG846 young childrenG1025, to the endG1519 they mightG2225 notG3361 liveG2225.
InG1722 whichG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 wasG2258 exceedingG2316 fairG791, andG3739 nourished upG397 inG1722 hisG846 father'sG3962 houseG3624 threeG5140 monthsG3376: {exceeding fair: or, fair to God}
AndG1161 when heG846 was cast outG1620, Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364 tookG337 himG846 upG337, andG2532 nourishedG397 himG846 forG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG2258 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041.
AndG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was fullG4137 forty yearsG5063 oldG5550, it cameG305 intoG1909 hisG846 heartG2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG80 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 seeingG1492 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defendedG292 him, andG2532 avengedG1557+G4160 him that was oppressedG2669, and smoteG3960 the EgyptianG124:
ForG1161 he supposedG3543 hisG846 brethrenG80 would have understoodG4920 howG3754 that GodG2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 would deliverG1325+G4991 themG846: butG1161 they understoodG4920 notG3756. {For: or, Now}
AndG5037 the nextG1966 dayG2250 he shewed himselfG3700 unto themG846 as they stroveG3164, andG2532 would have setG4900 themG846 atG1519 one againG1515, sayingG2036, SirsG435, yeG5210 areG2075 brethrenG80; whyG2444 do ye wrongG91 one to anotherG240?
ButG1161 he that didG91 his neighbourG4139 wrongG91 thrustG683 himG846 awayG683, sayingG2036, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4571 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348 overG1909 usG2248?
WiltG3361+G2309 thouG4771 killG337 meG3165, asG3739+G5158 thou diddestG337 the EgyptianG124 yesterdayG5504?
ThenG1161 fledG5343 MosesG3475 atG1722 thisG5129 sayingG3056, andG2532 wasG1096 a strangerG3941 inG1722 the landG1093 of MadianG3099, whereG3757 he begatG1080 twoG1417 sonsG5207.
AndG2532 when fortyG5062 yearsG2094 were expiredG4137, there appearedG3700 to himG846 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of mountG3735 SinaG4614 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 inG1722 a flameG5395 of fireG4442 in a bushG942.
WhenG1161 MosesG3475 sawG1492 it, he wonderedG2296 at the sightG3705: andG1161 as heG846 drew nearG4334 to beholdG2657 it, the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962 cameG1096 untoG4314 himG846,
Saying, IG1473 am the GodG2316 of thyG4675 fathersG3962, the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG2316 of JacobG2384. ThenG1161 MosesG3475 trembledG1096+G1790, and durstG5111 notG3756 beholdG2657.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 the LordG2962 to himG846, Put offG3089 thy shoesG5266 from thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 the placeG5117 whereG1722+G3739 thou standestG2476 isG2076 holyG40 groundG1093.
I have seenG1492, I have seenG1492 the afflictionG2561 of myG3450 peopleG2992 whichG3588 is inG1722 EgyptG125, andG2532 I have heardG191 theirG846 groaningG4726, andG2532 am come downG2597 to deliverG1807 themG846. AndG2532 nowG3568 comeG1204, I will sendG649 theeG4571 intoG1519 EgyptG125.
ThisG5126 MosesG3475 whomG3739 they refusedG720, sayingG2036, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4571 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? the sameG5126 did GodG2316 sendG649 to be a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 byG1722 the handG5495 of the angelG32 whichG3588 appearedG3700 to himG846 inG1722 the bushG942.
HeG3778 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, after that he had shewedG4160 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 the RedG2063 seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
ThisG3778 isG2076 that MosesG3475, whichG3588 saidG2036 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shallG450 the LordG2962 yourG5216 GodG2316 raise upG450 unto youG5213 ofG1537 yourG5216 brethrenG80, likeG5613 unto meG1691; himG846 shall ye hearG191. {like…: or, as myself}
ThisG3778 is heG2076, that wasG1096 inG1722 the churchG1577 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 withG3326 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 to himG846 inG1722 the mountG3735 SinaG4614, andG2532 with ourG2257 fathersG3962: whoG3739 receivedG1209 the livelyG2198 oraclesG3051 to giveG1325 unto usG2254:
To whomG3739 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wouldG2309 notG3756 obeyG1096+G5255, butG235 thrust him from themG683, andG2532 in theirG846 heartsG2588 turned back againG4762 intoG1519 EgyptG125,
SayingG2036 unto AaronG2, MakeG4160 usG2254 godsG2316 toG3739 go beforeG4313 usG2257: forG1063 as for thisG3778 MosesG3475, whichG3739 broughtG1806 usG2248 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, we wotG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 is becomeG1096 of himG846.
AndG2532 they made a calfG3447 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, andG2532 offeredG321 sacrificeG2378 unto the idolG1497, andG2532 rejoicedG2165 inG1722 the worksG2041 of their ownG846 handsG5495.
ThenG1161 GodG2316 turnedG4762, andG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 to worshipG3000 the hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as itG2531 is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396, O ye houseG3624 of IsraelG2474, have ye offeredG3361+G4374 to meG3427 slain beastsG4968 andG2532 sacrificesG2378 by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094 inG1722 the wildernessG2048?
YeaG2532, ye took upG353 the tabernacleG4633 of MolochG3434, andG2532 the starG798 of yourG5216 godG2316 RemphanG4481, figuresG5179 whichG3739 ye madeG4160 to worshipG4352 themG846: andG2532 I will carryG3351 youG5209 awayG3351 beyondG1900 BabylonG897.
OurG2257 fathersG3962 hadG2258 the tabernacleG4633 of witnessG3142+G1722 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, asG2531 he had appointedG1299, speakingG2980 unto MosesG3475, that he should makeG4160 itG846 accordingG2596 to the fashionG5179 thatG3739 he had seenG3708. {speaking: or, who spake}
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 ourG2257 fathersG3962 that cameG1237 after brought inG1521 withG3326 JesusG2424 intoG1722 the possessionG2697 of the GentilesG1484, whomG3739 GodG2316 drave outG1856 beforeG575 the faceG4383 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, untoG2193 the daysG2250 of DavidG1138; {that…: or, having received}
WhoG3739 foundG2147 favourG5485 beforeG1799 GodG2316, andG2532 desiredG154 to findG2147 a tabernacleG4638 for the GodG2316 of JacobG2384.
ButG1161 SolomonG4672 builtG3618 himG846 an houseG3624.
HowbeitG235 the most HighG5310 dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499; asG2531 saithG3004 the prophetG4396,
HeavenG3772 is myG3427 throneG2362, andG1161 earthG1093 is myG3450 footstoolG4228+G5286: whatG4169 houseG3624 will ye buildG3618 meG3427? saithG3004 the LordG2962: orG2228 whatG5101 is the placeG5117 of myG3450 restG2663?
HathG4160 notG3780 myG3450 handG5495 madeG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023?
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
WhoG3748 have receivedG2983 the lawG3551 byG1519 the dispositionG1296 of angelsG32, andG2532 haveG5442 notG3756 keptG5442 it.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
AndG2532 manyG4119 of the brethrenG80 inG1722 the LordG2962, waxing confidentG3982 by myG3450 bondsG1199, are much moreG4056 boldG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 without fearG870.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
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.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
