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.

AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
AndG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 heG1565 was manifestedG5319 toG2443 take awayG142 ourG2257 sinsG266; andG2532 inG1722 himG846 isG2076 noG3756 sinG266.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath openedH6605 mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784, neither turned awayH5472 backH268.
I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954.
The chariotsH7393 of GodH430 are twenty thousandH7239, even thousandsH505 of angelsH8136: the LordH136 is among them, as in SinaiH5514, in the holyH6944 place. {even…: or, even many thousands}
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854, andG2532 had gatheredG4863 the churchG1577 togetherG4863, they rehearsedG312 allG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 howG3754 he had openedG455 the doorG2374 of faithG4102 unto the GentilesG1484.
SoG3303 thenG3767 afterG3326 the LordG2962 had spokenG2980 unto themG846, he was received upG353 intoG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 satG2523 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
Thou hast ascendedH5927 on highH4791, thou hast led captivityH7628 captiveH7617: thou hast receivedH3947 giftsH4979 for menH120; yea, for the rebelliousH5637 also, that the LORDH3050 GodH430 might dwellH7931 among them. {for men: Heb. in the man}
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whileG1722 heG846 blessedG2127 themG846, he was partedG1339 fromG575 themG846, andG2532 carried upG399 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004+G3754, I sawG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846.
ThenG5119 the devilG1228 leavethG863 himG846, andG2532, beholdG2400, angelsG32 cameG4334 andG2532 ministeredG1247 unto himG846.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG2036, It wasG2258 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG5213: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756+G514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG2400, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.
ForG1063 soG3779 hathG1781 the LordG2962 commandedG1781 usG2254, saying, I have setG5087 theeG4571 to beG1519 a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484, that thouG4571 shouldest beG1511 forG1519 salvationG4991 untoG2193 the endsG2078 of the earthG1093.
AndG1161 when the GentilesG1484 heard thisG191, they were gladG5463, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962: andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ordainedG5021 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100.
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
What andG3767 ifG1437 ye shall seeG2334 the SonG5207 of manG444 ascend upG305 whereG3699 he wasG2258 beforeG4386?
ButG235 we speakG2980 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mysteryG3466, even the hiddenG613 wisdom, whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309 beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 gloryG1391:
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578: forG1063 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 descendedG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, and cameG4334 and rolled backG617 the stoneG3037 fromG575 the doorG2374, andG2532 satG2521 uponG1883 itG846. {was: or, had been}
ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293 betweenG5037 the JewG2453 andG2532 the GreekG1672: forG1063 the sameG846 LordG2962 over allG3956 is richG4147 untoG1519 allG3956 that call uponG1941 himG846.
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I beheldG1492, andG2532, loG2400, a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, whichG3739 no manG3762 couldG1410 numberG705+G846, ofG1537 allG3956 nationsG1484, andG2532 kindredsG5443, andG2532 peopleG2992, andG2532 tonguesG1100, stoodG2476 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, andG2532 beforeG1799 the LambG721, clothedG4016 with whiteG3022 robesG4749, andG2532 palmsG5404 inG1722 theirG846 handsG5495;
JesusG2424 knowingG1492 thatG3754 the FatherG3962 had givenG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1519 hisG846 handsG5495, andG2532 thatG3754 he was comeG1831 fromG575 GodG2316, andG2532 wentG5217 toG4314 GodG2316;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
ButG1161 whenG3752 the ComforterG3875 is comeG2064, whomG3739 IG1473 will sendG3992 unto youG5213 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, whichG3739 proceedethG1607 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, heG1565 shall testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700:
AndG2532 he wasG2258 thereG1563 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 daysG2250, temptedG3985 ofG5259 SatanG4567; andG2532 wasG2258 withG3326 the wild beastsG2342; andG2532 the angelsG32 ministeredG1247 unto himG846.
ButG235 I sayG3004, HaveG191 they notG3378 heardG191? Yes verilyG3304, theirG846 soundG5353 wentG1831 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 wordsG4487 untoG1519 the endsG4009 of the worldG3625.
I came forthG1831 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, andG2532 am comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889: againG3825, I leaveG863 the worldG2889, andG2532 goG4198 toG4314 the FatherG3962.
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
BeholdG2400, a virginG3933 shall be with childG1722+G1064+G2192, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG2076, GodG2316 withG3326 usG2257. {they…: or, his name shall be called}
AndG2532 when he is comeG2064, heG1565 will reproveG1651 the worldG2889 ofG4012 sinG266, andG2532 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ofG4012 judgmentG2920: {reprove: or, convince}
AndG2532 enteringG1525 intoG1519 the sepulchreG3419, they sawG1492 a young manG3495 sittingG2521 onG1722 the right sideG1188, clothedG4016 in a long whiteG3022 garmentG4749; andG2532 they were affrightedG1568.
(ForG1063 he that wrought effectuallyG1754 in PeterG4074 toG1519 the apostleshipG651 of the circumcisionG4061, the sameG2532 was mightyG1754 in meG1698 towardG1519 the GentilesG1484:)
AndG2532 nowG3568, O FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thouG4771 meG3165 withG3844 thine own selfG4572 with the gloryG1391 whichG3739 I hadG2192 withG3844 theeG4671 beforeG4253 the worldG2889 wasG1511.
AndG2532 forG5228 meG1700, thatG2443 utteranceG3056 may be givenG1325 unto meG3427, that I may openG1722+G457 myG3450 mouthG4750 boldlyG1722+G3954, to make knownG1107 the mysteryG3466 of the gospelG2098,
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 thisG5124 shall be a signG4592 unto youG5213; Ye shall findG2147 the babeG1025 wrapped in swaddling clothesG4683, lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG5336.
AndG2532 suddenlyG1810 there wasG1096 withG4862 the angelG32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756 praisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 sayingG3004,
GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444.
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
The formerG3303+G4413 treatiseG3056 have I madeG4160, OG5599 TheophilusG2321, ofG4012 allG3956 thatG3739 JesusG2424 beganG756 bothG5037 to doG4160 andG2532 teachG1321,
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:
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 he shewedG3936 himselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 hisG846 passionG3958 byG1722 manyG4183 infallible proofsG5039, being seenG3700 of themG846+G1223 fortyG5062 daysG2250, andG2532 speakingG3004 of the things pertainingG4012 to the kingdomG932 of GodG2316:
AndG2532, being assembled togetherG4871 withG846 them, commandedG3853 themG846 that they shouldG5563 notG3361 departG5563 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, butG235 waitG4037 for the promiseG1860 of the FatherG3962, whichG3739, saith he, ye have heardG191 of meG3450. {being…: or, eating together}
ForG3754 JohnG2491 trulyG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG5210 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 notG3756 manyG3326+G4183 daysG2250 henceG5025.
WhenG3303 they thereforeG3767 were come togetherG4905, they askedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962+G1487, wilt thouG600 atG1722 thisG5129 timeG5550 restore againG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, It isG2076 notG3756 for youG5216 to knowG1097 the timesG5550 orG2228 the seasonsG2540, whichG3739 the FatherG3962 hath putG5087 inG1722 his ownG2398 powerG1849.
ButG235 ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, after that the HolyG40 GhostG4151 is comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209: andG2532 ye shall beG2071 witnessesG3144 unto meG3427 bothG5037 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 in SamariaG4540, andG2532 untoG2193 the uttermost partG2078 of the earthG1093. {power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you}
AndG2532 when he had spokenG2036 these thingsG5023, while theyG846 beheldG991, he was taken upG1869; andG2532 a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 himG846 out ofG575 theirG846 sightG3788.
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;
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
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.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 there appearedG3700 an angelG32 unto himG846 fromG575 heavenG3772, strengtheningG1765 himG846.
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, that is to sayG5123, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
ConcerningG4012 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, whichG3588 was madeG1096 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561;
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 theyG846 were much perplexedG1280 thereaboutG4012+G5127+G2532, beholdG2400, twoG1417 menG435 stood byG2186 themG846 inG1722 shiningG797 garmentsG2067:
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
AndG2532 seethG2334 twoG1417 angelsG32 inG1722 whiteG3022 sittingG2516, the oneG1520 atG4314 the headG2776, andG2532 the otherG1520 atG4314 the feetG4228, whereG3699 the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 had lainG2749.
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto meG3427, WhereforeG1302 didst thou marvelG2296? IG1473 will tellG2046 theeG4671 the mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135, andG2532 of the beastG2342 that carriethG941 herG846, whichG3588 hathG2192 the sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG2248 to GodG2316, being put to deathG2289+G3303 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG4151:
AndG2532 whileG5613 they looked stedfastlyG2258+G816 towardG1519 heavenG3772 as heG846 went upG4198+G2532, beholdG2400, twoG1417 menG435 stood byG3936 themG846 inG1722 whiteG3022 apparelG2066;
NowG1161 ofG1909 the things which we have spokenG3004 this is the sumG2774: We haveG2192 suchG5108 an high priestG749, whoG3739 is setG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of the MajestyG3172 inG1722 the heavensG3772;
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
ThisG3778 isG2076 he that cameG2064 byG1223 waterG5204 andG2532 bloodG129, even JesusG2424 ChristG5547; notG3756 byG1722 waterG5204 onlyG3440, butG235 byG1722 waterG5204 andG2532 bloodG129. AndG2532 it isG2076 the SpiritG4151 that beareth witnessG3140, becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 truthG225.
ForG3754 there areG1526 threeG5140 that bear recordG3140 inG1722 heavenG3772, the FatherG3962, the WordG3056, andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: andG2532 theseG3778 threeG5140 areG1526 oneG1520.
AndG2532 there areG1526 threeG5140 that bear witnessG3140 inG1722 earthG1093, the spiritG4151, andG2532 the waterG5204, andG2532 the bloodG129: andG2532 these threeG5140 agreeG1526 inG1519 oneG1520.
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 saidG2036, Ye menG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 stand yeG2476 gazing upG1689 intoG1519 heavenG3772? this sameG3778 JesusG2424, whichG3588 is taken upG353 fromG575 youG5216 intoG1519 heavenG3772, shallG2064 soG3779 comeG2064 in like manner asG3739+G5158 ye have seenG2300 himG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316. {author: or, beginner}
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
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.
WhoG3739, beingG5225 inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233 notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1511 equalG2470 with GodG2316:
ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
AndG2532 being foundG2147 in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013 himselfG1438, and becameG1096 obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716. {fashion: or habit}
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
(ForG2532 the lifeG2222 was manifestedG5319, andG2532 we have seenG3708 it, andG2532 bear witnessG3140, andG2532 shewG518 unto youG5213 that eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3748 wasG2258 withG4314 the FatherG3962, andG2532 was manifestedG5319 unto usG2254;)
