Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}

And saidH559, If thou wilt diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and wilt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in his sightH5869, and wilt give earH238 to his commandmentsH4687, and keepH8104 all his statutesH2706, I will putH7760 none of these diseasesH4245 upon thee, which I have broughtH7760 upon the EgyptiansH4714: for I am the LORDH3068 that healethH7495 thee.
And shewingH6213 mercyH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687.
But cleaveH1692 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213 unto this dayH3117. {But cleave…: or, For if ye will cleave, etc}
Now therefore fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in sincerityH8549 and in truthH571: and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye the LORDH3068.
Now therefore hearkenH8085, O IsraelH3478, unto the statutesH2706 and unto the judgmentsH4941, which I teachH3925 you, for to doH6213 them, that ye may liveH2421, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 givethH5414 you.
And thou shalt loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315, and with all thy mightH3966.
But ye that did cleaveH1695 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430 are aliveH2416 every one of you this dayH3117.
And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
Ye shall not addH3254 unto the wordH1697 which I commandH6680 you, neither shall ye diminishH1639 ought from it, that ye may keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 which I commandH6680 you.
And now, IsraelH3478, what doth the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 requireH7592 of thee, but to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to loveH157 him, and to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315,
Thou shalt fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; him shalt thou serveH5647, and to him shalt thou cleaveH1692, and swearH7650 by his nameH8034.
And SamuelH8050 spakeH559 unto all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If ye do returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 with all your heartsH3824, then put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 unto the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him only: and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
KeepH8104 therefore and doH6213 them; for this is your wisdomH2451 and your understandingH998 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH5971, which shall hearH8085 all these statutesH2706, and sayH559, Surely this greatH1419 nationH1471 is a wiseH2450 and understandingH995 peopleH5971.
To keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 for thy goodH2896?
Ye shall walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and fearH3372 him, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and ye shall serveH5647 him, and cleaveH1692 unto him.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: ye have doneH6213 all this wickednessH7451: yet turn not asideH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, but serveH5647 the LORDH3068 with all your heartH3824;
Only take heedH8104 to thyself, and keepH8104 thy soulH5315 diligentlyH3966, lest thou forgetH7911 the thingsH1697 which thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200, and lest they departH5493 from thy heartH3824 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: but teachH3045 them thy sonsH1121, and thy sons'H1121 sonsH1121;
Therefore thou shalt loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and keepH8104 his chargeH4931, and his statutesH2708, and his judgmentsH4941, and his commandmentsH4687, alwayH3117.
WhoG3739, when he cameG3854, andG2532 had seenG1492 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, was gladG5463, andG2532 exhortedG3870 them allG3956, that with purposeG4286 of heartG2588 they would cleave untoG4357 the LordG2962.
Only fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in truthH571 with all your heartH3824: for considerH7200 how great things he hath doneH1431 for you. {how…: or, what a great thing}
And these wordsH1697, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, shall be in thine heartH3824:
And thou shalt teach them diligentlyH8150 unto thy childrenH1121, and shalt talkH1696 of them when thou sittestH3427 in thine houseH1004, and when thou walkestH3212 by the wayH1870, and when thou liest downH7901, and when thou risest upH6965. {teach: Heb. whet, or, sharpen}
And thou shalt bindH7194 them for a signH226 upon thine handH3027, and they shall be as frontletsH2903 between thine eyesH5869.
And thou shalt writeH3789 them upon the postsH4201 of thy houseH1004, and on thy gatesH8179.
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto my commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 you this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315,
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
ThenG5119 saithG3004 JesusG2424 unto himG846, Get thee henceG5217, SatanG4567: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, Thou shalt worshipG4352 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316, andG2532 himG846 onlyG3441 shalt thou serveG3000.
Ye shall diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his testimoniesH5713, and his statutesH2706, which he hath commandedH6680 thee.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou shalt loveG25 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316 withG1722 allG3650 thyG4675 heartG2588, andG2532 withG1722 allG3650 thyG4675 soulG5590, andG2532 withG1722 allG3650 thyG4675 mindG1271.
No manG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
For if ye shall diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 you, to doH6213 them, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to cleaveH1692 unto him;
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
Moreover I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, if he be constantH2388 to doH6213 my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117. {constant: Heb. strong}
He that hathG2192 myG3450 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 keepethG5083 themG846, heG1565 it isG2076 that lovethG25 meG3165: andG1161 he that lovethG25 meG3165 shall be lovedG25 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 IG1473 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 will manifestG1718 myselfG1683 to himG846.
JudasG2455 saithG3004 unto himG846, notG3756 IscariotG2469, LordG2962, howG5101 is itG1096 thatG3754 thou wiltG3195 manifestG1718 thyselfG4572 unto usG2254, andG2532 notG3780 unto the worldG2889?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1437 a manG5100 loveG25 meG3165, he will keepG5083 myG3450 wordsG3056: andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 we will comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 makeG4160 our abodeG3438 withG3844 himG846.
IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, let him followG190 meG1698; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2071 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG2071+G2532: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3962 honourG5091.
Now therefore in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478 the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audienceH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seekH1875 for all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you forH5704 everH5769.
SoG3767 whenG3753 they had dinedG709, JesusG2424 saithG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165 more thanG4119 theseG5130? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 lambsG721.
He saithG3004 to himG846 againG3825 the second timeG1208, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG4165 myG3450 sheepG4263.
He saithG3004 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovestG5368 thou meG3165? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 he saidG2036 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, LovestG5368 thou meG3165? AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492 all thingsG3956; thouG4771 knowestG1097 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 sheepG4263.
ForG1063 there stood byG3936 meG3427 thisG5026 nightG3571 the angelG32 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 I amG1510, andG2532 whomG3739 I serveG3000,
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
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.
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 myG3450 witnessG3144, whomG3739 I serveG3000 withG1722 myG3450 spiritG4151 inG1722 the gospelG2098 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG5613 without ceasingG89 I makeG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 alwaysG3842 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335; {with: or, in}
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 thatG3739 endurethG5278 temptationG3986: forG3754 when he is triedG1384+G1096, he shall receiveG2983 the crownG4735 of lifeG2222, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846.
KeepH5341 thy heartH3820 with all diligenceH4929; for out of it are the issuesH8444 of lifeH2416. {with…: Heb. above all keeping}
HearkenG191, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG5127 worldG2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them that loveG25 himG846? {of the: or, of that}
Wherefore do ye spendH8254 moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labourH3018 for that which satisfiethH7654 notH3808? hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. {spend: Heb. weigh}
ByG1722 thisG5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we loveG25 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316, whenG3752 we loveG25 GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925 learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971.
ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 the loveG26 of GodG2316, thatG2443 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785: andG2532 hisG846 commandmentsG1785 areG1526 notG3756 grievousG926.
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
Looking diligentlyG1983 lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302 ofG575 the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG507 troubleG1776 you, andG2532 therebyG1223+G5026 manyG4183 be defiledG3392; {fail…: or, fall from}
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:
