ThouG4771 thereforeG3767, myG3450 sonG5043, be strongG1743 inG1722 the graceG5485 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767 endure hardnessG2553, asG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 that warrethG4754 entangleth himselfG1707 with the affairsG4230 of this lifeG979; thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldierG4758.
AndG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 alsoG2532 striveG118 for masteries, yet is heG4737 notG3756 crownedG4737, exceptG3362 he striveG118 lawfullyG3545.
The husbandmanG1092 that labourethG2872 must beG1163 firstG4413 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG2590. {that…: or, labouring first, must be partaker of the fruits}
ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004; andG1063 the LordG2962 giveG1325 theeG4671 understandingG4907 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
RememberG3421 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG3450 gospelG2098:
WhereinG1722+G3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evil doerG2557, even untoG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
It is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056: ForG1063 ifG1487 we be dead withG4880 him, we shallG4800 alsoG2532 live withG4800 him:
IfG1487 we sufferG5278, we shallG4821 alsoG2532 reign withG4821 him: ifG1487 we denyG720 him, he alsoG2548 will denyG720 usG2248:
IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756+G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438.
Of these thingsG5023 put them in remembranceG5279, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 the LordG2962 that they striveG3054 notG3361 about wordsG3054 toG1519 noG3762 profitG5539, but toG1909 the subvertingG2692 of the hearersG191.
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
ButG1161 shunG4026 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757: forG1063 they will increaseG4298 untoG1909 moreG4119 ungodlinessG763.
AndG2532 theirG846 wordG3056 will eatG2192+G3542 asG5613 doth a cankerG1044: of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 PhiletusG5372; {canker: or, gangrene}
WhoG3748 concerningG4012 the truthG225 have erredG795, sayingG3004 that the resurrectionG386 is pastG1096 alreadyG2235; andG2532 overthrowG396 the faithG4102 of someG5100.
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
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.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
ButG1161 foolishG3474 andG2532 unlearnedG521 questionsG2214 avoidG3868, knowingG1492 thatG3754 they do genderG1080 strifesG3163.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
InG1722 meeknessG4236 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225;
AndG2532 that they may recover themselvesG366 out ofG1537 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, who are taken captiveG2221 byG5259 himG846 atG1519 hisG1565 willG2307. {recover…: Gr. awake} {taken…: Gr. taken alive}

As the whirlwindH5492 passethH5674, so is the wickedH7563 no more: but the righteousH6662 is an everlastingH5769 foundationH3247.
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
Surely he shall not be movedH4131 for everH5769: the righteousH6662 shall be in everlastingH5769 remembranceH2143.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And he spakeH1696 unto KorahH7141 and unto all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 the LORDH3068 will shewH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 unto him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 unto him.
And they shall putH7760 my nameH8034 upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and I will blessH1288 them.
And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.
What shall one then answerH6030 the messengersH4397 of the nationH1471? That the LORDH3068 hath foundedH3245 ZionH6726, and the poorH6041 of his peopleH5971 shall trustH2620 in it. {trust…: or, betake themselves unto it}
ForG1063 false ChristsG5580 andG2532 false prophetsG5578 shall riseG1453, andG2532 shall shewG1325 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, toG4314 seduceG635, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, evenG2532 the electG1588.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. They that trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be as mountH2022 ZionH6726, which cannot be removedH4131, but abidethH3427 for everH5769.
For behold the stoneH68 that I have laidH5414 beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091; upon oneH259 stoneH68 shall be sevenH7651 eyesH5869: behold, I will engraveH6605 the gravingH6603 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will removeH4185 the iniquityH5771 of that landH776 in oneH259 dayH3117.
For the LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the wayH1870 of the righteousH6662: but the wayH1870 of the ungodlyH7563 shall perishH6.
Ye that loveH157 the LORDH3068, hateH8130 evilH7451: he preservethH8104 the soulsH5315 of his saintsH2623; he deliverethH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
As the mountainsH2022 are round aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, so the LORDH3068 is round aboutH5439 his peopleH5971 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769.
Who art thou, O greatH1419 mountainH2022? beforeH6440 ZerubbabelH2216 thou shalt become a plainH4334: and he shall bring forthH3318 the headstoneH68+H7222 thereof with shoutingsH8663, crying, GraceH2580, graceH2580 unto it.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
The handsH3027 of ZerubbabelH2216 have laid the foundationH3245 of this houseH1004; his handsH3027 shall also finishH1214 it; and thou shalt knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 me unto you.
The LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the daysH3117 of the uprightH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.
We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
AndG2532 the rainG1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4363 thatG1565 houseG3614; andG2532 it fellG4098 notG3756: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
For the LORDH3068 lovethH157 judgmentH4941, and forsakethH5800 not his saintsH2623; they are preservedH8104 for everH5769: but the seedH2233 of the wickedH7563 shall be cut offH3772.
And ye shall leaveH3240 your nameH8034 for a curseH7621 unto my chosenH972: for the LordH136 GODH3069 shall slayH4191 thee, and callH7121 his servantsH5650 by anotherH312 nameH8034:
He isG2076 likeG3664 a manG444 whichG3739 builtG3618 an houseG3614, andG2532 diggedG4626 deepG900, andG2532 laidG5087 the foundationG2310 onG1909 a rockG4073: andG1161 when the floodG4132 aroseG1096, the streamG4215 beat vehementlyG4366 upon thatG1565 houseG3614, andG2532 couldG2480 notG3756 shakeG4531 itG846: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896, a strong holdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knowethH3045 them that trustH2620 in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
Go yeG4198 thereforeG3767, and teachG3100 allG3956 nationsG1484, baptizingG907 themG846 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of the SonG5207, andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151: {teach…: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
AccordingG2596 to the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 unto meG3427, asG5613 a wiseG4680 masterbuilderG753, I have laidG5087 the foundationG2310, andG1161 anotherG243 buildethG2026 thereon. ButG1161 letG991 every manG1538 take heedG991 howG4459 he buildethG2026 thereupon.
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
AndG2532 thenG5119 will I professG3670 unto themG846+G3754, I neverG3763 knewG1097 youG5209: departG672 fromG575 meG1700, ye that workG2038 iniquityG458.
AndG2532 hereG5602 he hathG2192 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749 to bindG1210 allG3956 that callG1941 on thyG4675 nameG3686.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 theseG5025 promisesG1860, dearly belovedG27, let us cleanseG2511 ourselvesG1438 fromG575 allG3956 filthinessG3436 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 spiritG4151, perfectingG2005 holinessG42 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 otherG243 foundationG2310 canG1410 no manG3762 layG5087 thanG3844 that is laidG2749, whichG3739 isG2076 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
They went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257, butG235 they wereG2258 notG3756 ofG1537 usG2257; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG2258 ofG1537 usG2257, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG2257: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1526 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG2257.
ButG2532 he shall sayG2046, I tellG3004 youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756 whenceG4159 ye areG2075; departG868 fromG575 meG1700, allG3956 ye workersG2040 of iniquityG93.
AndG2532 when he had foundG2147 himG846, he broughtG71 himG846 untoG1519 AntiochG490. AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that a wholeG3650 yearG1763 theyG846 assembled themselvesG4863 withG1722 the churchG1577, andG2532 taughtG1321 muchG2425 peopleG3793. AndG5037 the disciplesG3101 were calledG5537 ChristiansG5546 firstG4412 inG1722 AntiochG490. {with…: or, in the church}
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,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG5547;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
IG1473 amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, andG2532 knowG1097 myG1699 sheep, andG2532 am knownG1097 ofG5259 mineG1699.
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
BeG1096 yeG3402 thereforeG3767 followersG3402 of GodG2316, asG5613 dearG27 childrenG5043;
AndG2532 walkG4043 inG1722 loveG26, asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257 an offeringG4376 andG2532 a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 forG1519 a sweetsmellingG2175 savourG3744.
ButG2532 fornicationG4202, andG1161 allG3956 uncleannessG167, orG2228 covetousnessG4124, let itG3687 not be onceG3366 namedG3687 amongG1722 youG5213, asG2531 becomethG4241 saintsG40;
NeitherG2532 filthinessG151, norG2532 foolish talkingG3473, norG2228 jestingG2160, whichG3588 areG433 notG3756 convenientG433: butG235 ratherG3123 giving of thanksG2169.
ForG1063 thisG5124 ye knowG2075+G1097, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 whoremongerG4205, norG2228 unclean personG169, norG2228 covetous manG4123, whoG3739 isG2076 an idolaterG1496, hathG2192 any inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of ChristG5547 andG2532 of GodG2316.
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}
BeG1096 notG3361 yeG1096 thereforeG3767 partakersG4830 with themG846.
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 sometimesG4218 darknessG4655, butG1161 nowG3568 are ye lightG5457 inG1722 the LordG2962: walkG4043 asG5613 childrenG5043 of lightG5457:
(ForG1063 the fruitG2590 of the SpiritG4151 is inG1722 allG3956 goodnessG19 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 truthG225;)
ProvingG1381 whatG5101 isG2076 acceptableG2101 unto the LordG2962.
AndG2532 haveG4790 noG3361 fellowshipG4790 with the unfruitfulG175 worksG2041 of darknessG4655, butG1161 ratherG3123+G2532 reproveG1651 them.
Laying up in storeG597 for themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 foundationG2310 againstG1519 the time to comeG3195, thatG2443 they may lay hold onG1949 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
MyG1699 sheepG4263 hearG191 myG3450 voiceG5456, and IG2504 knowG1097 themG846, andG2532 they followG190 meG3427:
And IG2504 giveG1325 unto themG846 eternalG166 lifeG2222; andG2532 they shallG622 neverG3364+G1519+G165 perishG622, neitherG2532+G3756 shallG726 anyG5100 man pluckG726 themG846 out ofG1537 myG3450 handG5495.
MyG3450 FatherG3962, whichG3739 gaveG1325 them meG3427, isG2076 greater thanG3187 allG3956; andG2532 noG3762 man is ableG1410 to pluckG726 them out ofG1537 myG3450 Father'sG3962 handG5495.
AndG1161 that the GentilesG1484 might glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG5228 his mercyG1656; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 I will confessG1843 to theeG4671 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 singG5567 unto thyG4675 nameG3686.
MortifyG3499 thereforeG3767 yourG5216 membersG3196 whichG3588 are uponG1909 the earthG1093; fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, inordinate affectionG3806, evilG2556 concupiscenceG1939, andG2532 covetousnessG4124, whichG3748 isG2076 idolatryG1495:
ForG1223 which things' sakeG3739 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 comethG2064 onG1909 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
InG1722 the whichG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 walkedG4043 some timeG4218, whenG3753 ye livedG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ButG1161 nowG3570 yeG5210 alsoG2532 put offG659 all theseG3956; angerG3709, wrathG2372, maliceG2549, blasphemyG988, filthy communicationG148 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750.
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
I speakG3004 notG3756 ofG4012 youG5216 allG3956: IG1473 knowG1492 whomG3739 I have chosenG1586: butG235 thatG2443 the scriptureG1124 may be fulfilledG4137, He that eatethG5176 breadG740 withG3326 meG1700 hath lifted upG1869 hisG846 heelG4418 againstG1909 meG1691.
YeaG1161, soG3779 have I strivedG5389 to preach the gospelG2097, notG3756 whereG3699 ChristG5547 was namedG3687, lestG3363 I should buildG3618 uponG1909 another man'sG245 foundationG2310:
ForG1063 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 that bringeth salvationG4992 hath appearedG2014 to allG3956 menG444, {hath…: or, to all men, hath appeared}
TeachingG3811 usG2248 thatG2443, denyingG720 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 worldlyG2886 lustsG1939, we should liveG2198 soberlyG4996+G2532, righteouslyG1346, andG2532 godlyG2153, inG1722 this presentG3568 worldG165;
Looking forG4327 that blessedG3107 hopeG1680, andG2532 the gloriousG1391 appearingG2015 of the greatG3173 GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {glorious…: Gr. the appearance of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ}
WhoG3739 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 he might redeemG3084 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 iniquityG458, andG2532 purifyG2511 unto himselfG1438 a peculiarG4041 peopleG2992, zealousG2207 of goodG2570 worksG2041.
AndG2532 the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 hadG2192 twelveG1427 foundationsG2310, andG2532 inG1722 themG846 the namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of the LambG721.
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
Unto the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882, to them that are sanctifiedG37 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, calledG2822 to be saintsG40, withG4862 allG3956 that inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 call uponG1941 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, bothG5037 theirsG846 andG2532 oursG2257:
WhereforeG1352 gird upG328 the loinsG3751 of yourG5216 mindG1271, be soberG3525, and hopeG1679 to the endG5049 forG1909 the graceG5485 that is to be broughtG5342 unto youG5213 atG1722 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
ButG235 asG2596 he which hath calledG2564 youG5209 is holyG40, soG2532 beG1096 yeG846 holyG40 inG1722 allG3956 manner of conversationG391;
BecauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, Be yeG1096 holyG40; forG3754 IG1473 amG1510 holyG40.
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye call onG1941 the FatherG3962, whoG3588 without respect of personsG678 judgethG2919 according toG2596 every man'sG1538 workG2041, passG390 the timeG5550 of yourG5216 sojourningG3940 here inG1722 fearG5401:
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
ButG235 with the preciousG5093 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, asG5613 of a lambG286 without blemishG299 andG2532 without spotG784:
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
WherebyG1223+G3739 are givenG1433 unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
ForG1063 if these thingsG5023 beG5225 in youG5213, andG2532 aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {barren: Gr. idle}
ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361+G3918 these thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hath forgottenG3024+G2983 that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218+G4417 neverG3364 fallG4218+G4417:
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 whereG4226 thou dwellestG2730, even whereG3699 Satan'sG4567 seatG2362 is: andG2532 thou holdest fastG2902 myG3450 nameG3686, andG2532 hastG720 notG3756 deniedG720 myG3450 faithG4102, evenG2532 inG1722 those daysG2250 whereinG1722+G3739 AntipasG493 was myG3450 faithfulG4103 martyrG3144, whoG3739 was slainG615 amongG3844 youG5213, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellethG2730.
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041: beholdG2400, I have setG1325 beforeG1799 theeG4675 an openG455 doorG2374, andG2532 no manG3762 canG1410 shutG2808 itG846: forG3754 thou hastG2192 a littleG3398 strengthG1411, andG2532 hast keptG5083 myG3450 wordG3056, andG2532 hastG720 notG3756 deniedG720 myG3450 nameG3686.
Little childrenG5040, letG4105 no manG3367 deceiveG4105 youG5209: he that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 righteousG1342, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 righteousG1342.
He that committethG4160 sinG266 isG2076 ofG1537 the devilG1228; forG3754 the devilG1228 sinnethG264 fromG575 the beginningG746. ForG1519 this purposeG5124 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 was manifestedG5319, thatG2443 he might destroyG3089 the worksG2041 of the devilG1228.
WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756+G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
InG1722 thisG5129 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 areG2076 manifestG5318, andG2532 the childrenG5043 of the devilG1228: whosoeverG3956 doethG4160 notG3361 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316, neitherG2532 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG80.
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
