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.

InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
ForG1063 thereforeG1519+G5124 weG2872 bothG2532 labourG2872 andG2532 suffer reproachG3679, becauseG3754 we trustG1679 inG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 isG2076 the SaviourG4990 of allG3956 menG444, speciallyG3122 of those that believeG4103.
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
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.
And he gave JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 a chargeH6680, and saidH559, Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for thou shalt bringH935 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto them: and I will be with thee.
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
WhoG3588 onlyG3441 hathG2192 immortalityG110, dwellingG3611 in the lightG5457 which no manG3762 can approach untoG676; whomG3739 no manG444 hath seenG1492, norG3761 canG1410 seeG1492: to whomG3739 be honourG5092 andG2532 powerG2904 everlastingG166. AmenG281.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 alsoG2504 unto theeG4671, ThatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 PeterG4074, andG2532 uponG1909 thisG5026 rockG4073 I will buildG3618 myG3450 churchG1577; andG2532 the gatesG4439 of hellG86 shallG2729 notG3756 prevail againstG2729 itG846. {Peter: this name signifies a rock}
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
I goH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: be thou strongH2388 therefore, and shew thyself a manH376;
ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG2076 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739+G3303 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819.
For who is there of all fleshH1320, that hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the livingH2416 GodH430 speakingH1696 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784, as we have, and livedH2421?
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 unto theeG4671 the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 the wayG3598+G2532, the truthG225, andG2532 the lifeG2222: no manG3762 comethG2064 untoG4314 the FatherG3962, butG1508 byG1223 meG1700.
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
Who wasG5607 faithfulG4103 to him that appointedG4160 himG846, asG5613 alsoG2532 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624. {appointed: Gr. made}
ForG1063 thisG3778 man was counted worthyG515 of moreG4119 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, inasmuch asG2596+G3745 he who hath buildedG2680 the houseG3624 hath moreG4119 honourG5092 thanG2192 the houseG846.
ForG1063 everyG3956 houseG3624 is buildedG2680 byG5259 someG5100 man; butG1161 he that builtG2680 all thingsG3956 is GodG2316.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 verilyG3303 was faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624, asG5613 a servantG2324, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 of those things which were to be spoken afterG2980;
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WhatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 a kingG935 thenG3766? JesusG2424 answeredG611, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 a kingG935. ToG1519 thisG5124 end wasG1080 IG1473 bornG1080, andG2532 forG1519 thisG5124 cause came IG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG2443 I should bear witnessG3140 unto the truthG225. Every oneG3956 that isG5607 ofG1537 the truthG225 hearethG191 myG3450 voiceG5456.
Then shalt thou prosperH6743, if thou takest heedH8104 to fulfilH6213 the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 MosesH4872 with concerning IsraelH3478: be strongH2388, and of good courageH553; dreadH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865.
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
MuchG4183 everyG2596+G3956 wayG5158: chieflyG4412, becauseG3303+G1063 thatG3754 unto them were committedG4100 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316.
ByG1722 the wordG3056 of truthG225, byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, byG1223 the armourG3696 of righteousnessG1343 on the right handG1188 andG2532 on the leftG710,
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
Take heedH7200 now; for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the sanctuaryH4720: be strongH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 the patternH8403 of the porchH197, and of the housesH1004 thereof, and of the treasuriesH1597 thereof, and of the upper chambersH5944 thereof, and of the innerH6442 parloursH2315 thereof, and of the placeH1004 of the mercy seatH3727,
And the patternH8403 of all that he had by the spiritH7307, of the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and of all the chambersH3957 round aboutH5439, of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and of the treasuriesH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944: {of all that…: Heb. of all that was with him}
Also for the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for all the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for all the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
He gave of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for things of goldH2091, for all instrumentsH3627 of all manner of serviceH5656; silver also for all instrumentsH3627 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, for all instrumentsH3627 of every kind of serviceH5656:
Even the weightH4948 for the candlesticksH4501 of goldH2091, and for their lampsH5216 of goldH2091, by weightH4948 for every candlestickH4501, and for the lampsH5216 thereof: and for the candlesticksH4501 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, both for the candlestickH4501, and also for the lampsH5216 thereof, according to the useH5656 of every candlestickH4501.
And by weightH4948 he gave goldH2091 for the tablesH7979 of shewbreadH4635, for every tableH7979; and likewise silverH3701 for the tablesH7979 of silverH3701:
Also pureH2889 goldH2091 for the fleshhooksH4207, and the bowlsH4219, and the cupsH7184: and for the goldenH2091 basonsH3713 he gave gold by weightH4948 for every basonH3713; and likewise silver by weightH4948 for every basonH3713 of silverH3701:
And for the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 refinedH2212 goldH2091 by weightH4948; and goldH2091 for the patternH8403 of the chariotH4818 of the cherubimsH3742, that spread outH6566 their wings, and coveredH5526 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068.
All this, said David, the LORDH3068 made me understandH7919 in writingH3791 by his handH3027 upon me, even all the worksH4399 of this patternH8403.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, Be strongH2388 and of good courageH553, and doH6213 it: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH430, even my GodH430, will be with thee; he will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee, until thou hast finishedH3615 all the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And, behold, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, even they shall be with thee for all the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanshipH4399 every willingH5081 skilful manH2451, for any manner of serviceH5656: also the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 will be wholly at thy commandmentH1697.
Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.
AndG2532 when JamesG2385+G2532, CephasG2786, andG2532 JohnG2491, whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1511 pillarsG4769, perceivedG1097 the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 unto meG3427, they gaveG1325 to meG1698 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handsG1188 of fellowshipG2842; thatG2443 weG2249 should go untoG1519 the heathenG1484, andG1161 theyG846 untoG1519 the circumcisionG4061.
OG5599 foolishG453 GalatiansG1052, whoG5101 hath bewitchedG940 youG5209, that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225, beforeG2596 whoseG3739 eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath been evidently set forthG4270, crucifiedG4717 amongG1722 youG5213?
UntilG891 the dayG2250 in whichG3739 he was taken upG353, after that he throughG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 had given commandmentsG1781 unto the apostlesG652 whomG3739 he had chosenG1586:
It may beH194 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430; and will reproveH3198 the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore lift upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that are leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
My soulH5315 thirstethH6770 for GodH430, for the livingH2416 GodH410: when shall I comeH935 and appearH7200 beforeH6440 GodH430?
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
My soulH5315 longethH3700, yea, even faintethH3615 for the courtsH2691 of the LORDH3068: my heartH3820 and my fleshH1320 crieth outH7442 for the livingH2416 GodH410.
But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430, he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 shall trembleH7493, and the nationsH1471 shall not be able to abideH3557 his indignationH2195. {true…: Heb. God of truth} {everlasting…: Heb. king of eternity}
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
Yet the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be measuredH4058 nor numberedH5608; and it shall come to pass, that in the placeH4725 where it was saidH559 unto them, Ye are not my peopleH5971, there it shall be saidH559 unto them, Ye are the sonsH1121 of the livingH2416 GodH410. {in…: or, instead of that}
AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG2532 weG2249 believeG4100 andG2532 are sureG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 that ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG2532 sayingG3004, SirsG435, whyG5101 do yeG4160 these thingsG5130? WeG2249 alsoG2532 areG2070 menG444 of like passionsG3663 with youG5213, and preachG2097 unto youG5209 that ye should turnG1994 fromG575 theseG5023 vanitiesG3152 untoG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whichG3739 madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 all thingsG3956 that are thereinG1722+G846:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declaredG5319 toG3754 beG2075 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
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;
Take heedG991, brethrenG80, lestG3379 there beG2071 inG1722 anyG5100 of youG5216 an evilG4190 heartG2588 of unbeliefG570, inG1722 departingG868 fromG575 the livingG2198 GodG2316.
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anotherG243 angelG32 ascendingG305 fromG575 the eastG395+G2246, havingG2192 the sealG4973 of the livingG2198 GodG2316: andG2532 he criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to the fourG5064 angelsG32, to whomG3739 itG846 was givenG1325 to hurtG91 the earthG1093 andG2532 the seaG2281,
