ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
AndG2532 turningG5077 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116 into ashesG5077 condemnedG2632 them with an overthrowG2692, makingG5087 them an ensampleG5262 unto those that after shouldG3195 live ungodlyG764;
AndG2532 deliveredG4506 justG1342 LotG3091, vexedG2669 withG5259 the filthyG766 conversationG391 ofG1722 the wickedG113:
(ForG1063 that righteous manG1342 dwellingG1460 amongG1722 themG846, in seeingG990 andG2532 hearingG189, vexedG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 from dayG2250 toG1537 dayG2250 with their unlawfulG459 deedsG2041;)
The LordG2962 knowethG1492 how to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607 greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. {them: some read, themselves}
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233 it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910 with youG5213;
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
TheseG3778 areG1526 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.

There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
WhoG3748 changedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 intoG1722 a lieG5579, andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 the creatureG2937 more thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {more: or, rather}
ForG1223 thisG5124 cause GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 untoG1519 vileG819 affectionsG3806: forG1063 evenG5037 theirG846 womenG2338 did changeG3337 the naturalG5446 useG5540 intoG1519 that which is againstG3844 natureG5449:
AndG5037 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the menG730, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 useG5540 of the womanG2338, burnedG1572 inG1722 theirG846 lustG3715 one toward anotherG1519+G240; menG730 withG1722 menG730 workingG2716 that which is unseemlyG808, andG2532 receivingG618 inG1722 themselvesG1438 that recompenceG489 of theirG846 errorG4106 whichG3739 was meetG1163.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: which saidH559, We will not come upH5927:
Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought us upH5927 out of a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, except thou makeH8323 thyself altogetherH8323 a princeH8323 over us?
MoreoverH637 thou hast not broughtH935 us into a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, or givenH5414 us inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou put outH5365 the eyesH5869 of these menH582? we will not come upH5927. {put…: Heb. bore out}
And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
But the soulH5315 that doethH6213 ought presumptuouslyH7311+H3027, whether he be born in the landH249, or a strangerH4480+H1616, the same reproachethH1442 the LORDH3068; and that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. {presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
Thou shalt not revileH7043 the godsH430, nor curseH779 the rulerH5387 of thy peopleH5971. {gods: or, judges}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
LikewiseG3668+G3305 alsoG2532 theseG3778 filthy dreamersG1797 defileG3392 the fleshG3303+G4561+G1161, despiseG114 dominionG2963, andG1161 speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
FollyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignityH4791, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in low placeH8216. {in great…: Heb. in great heights}
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 upon the earthH776.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
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.
And they shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, This our sonH1121 is stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784, he will not obeyH8085 our voiceH6963; he is a gluttonH2151, and a drunkardH5433.
CurseH7043 not the kingH4428, no not in thy thoughtH4093; and curseH7043 not the richH6223 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904: for a birdH5775 of the airH8064 shall carryH3212 the voiceH6963, and that which hathH1167 wingsH3671 shall tellH5046 the matterH1697. {thought: or, conscience}
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
MortifyG3499 thereforeG3767 yourG5216 membersG3196 whichG3588 are uponG1909 the earthG1093; fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, inordinate affectionG3806, evilG2556 concupiscenceG1939, andG2532 covetousnessG4124, whichG3748 isG2076 idolatryG1495:
And all the menH582 of his cityH5892 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68, that he dieH4191: so shalt thou putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372.
ThenG5037 saidG5346 PaulG3972, I wistG1492 notG3756, brethrenG80, thatG3754 he wasG2076 the high priestG749: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, Thou shaltG2046 notG3756 speakG2046 evilG2560 of the rulerG758 of thyG4675 peopleG2992.
ForG1063 though we walkG4043 inG1722 the fleshG4561, we doG4754 notG3756 warG4754 afterG2596 the fleshG4561:
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG167, butG235 untoG1722 holinessG38.
But the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100 saidH559, How shall this man saveH3467 us? And they despisedH959 him, and broughtH935 him no presentsH4503. But he held his peaceH2790. {held…: or, was as though he had been deaf}
LikewiseG3668+G3305 alsoG2532 theseG3778 filthy dreamersG1797 defileG3392 the fleshG3303+G4561+G1161, despiseG114 dominionG2963, andG1161 speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391.
MarriageG1062 is honourableG5093 inG1722 allG3956, andG2532 the bedG2845 undefiledG283: butG1161 whoremongersG4205 andG2532 adulterersG3432 GodG2316 will judgeG2919.
ForG1063 there are certainG5100 menG444 crept in unawaresG3921, whoG3588 were beforeG4270 of oldG3819 ordainedG4270 toG1519 thisG5124 condemnationG2917, ungodly menG765, turningG3346 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 GodG2316 intoG1519 lasciviousnessG766, andG2532 denyingG720 the onlyG3441 LordG1203 GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
ButG1161 theseG3778 speak evilG987 of those things whichG3745+G3303 they knowG1492 notG3756: butG1161 whatG3745 they knowG1987 naturallyG5447, asG5613 bruteG249 beastsG2226, inG1722 those thingsG5125 they corrupt themselvesG5351.
AndG5037 the angelsG32 which keptG5083 notG3361 theirG1438 first estateG746, butG235 leftG620 their ownG2398 habitationG3613, he hath reservedG5083 in everlastingG126 chainsG1199 underG5259 darknessG2217 untoG1519 the judgmentG2920 of the greatG3173 dayG2250. {first estate: or, principality}
Even asG5613 SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116, andG2532 the citiesG4172 aboutG4012 themG846 in likeG3664+G5125 mannerG5158, giving themselves over to fornicationG1608, andG2532 goingG565 afterG3694 strangeG2087 fleshG4561, are set forth forG4295 an exampleG1164, sufferingG5254 the vengeanceG1349 of eternalG166 fireG4442. {strange: Gr. other}
LikewiseG3668+G3305 alsoG2532 theseG3778 filthy dreamersG1797 defileG3392 the fleshG3303+G4561+G1161, despiseG114 dominionG2963, andG1161 speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
ButG1161 theseG3778 speak evilG987 of those things whichG3745+G3303 they knowG1492 notG3756: butG1161 whatG3745 they knowG1987 naturallyG5447, asG5613 bruteG249 beastsG2226, inG1722 those thingsG5125 they corrupt themselvesG5351.
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
TheseG3778 areG1526 murmurersG1113, complainersG3202, walkingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; andG2532 theirG846 mouthG4750 speakethG2980 great swellingG5246 words, having men's personsG4383 in admirationG2296 becauseG5484 of advantageG5622.
Who have saidH559, With our tongueH3956 will we prevailH1396; our lipsH8193 are our own: who is lordH113 over us? {are…: Heb. are with us}
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
ButG1161 hisG846 citizensG4177 hatedG3404 himG846, andG2532 sentG649 a messageG4242 afterG3694 himG846, sayingG3004, We willG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 thisG5126 man to reignG936 overG1909 usG2248.
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
