ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064 inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198 afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
ForG1063 thisG5124 theyG846 willinglyG2309 are ignorant ofG2990, thatG3754 by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 wereG2258 of oldG1597, andG2532 the earthG1093 standingG4921 out ofG1537 the waterG5204 andG2532 inG1223 the waterG5204: {standing: Gr. consisting}
WherebyG1223+G3739 the worldG2889 that then wasG5119, being overflowedG2626 with waterG5204, perishedG622:
ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526 kept in storeG2343, reservedG5083 unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
ButG1161, belovedG27, beG2990 notG3361+G5209 ignorantG2990 of this oneG1520 thingG5124, thatG3754 oneG3391 dayG2250 is withG3844 the LordG2962 asG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, andG2532 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 asG5613 oneG3391 dayG2250.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328 newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722+G3739 dwellethG2730 righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076 some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761, asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165+G2250. AmenG281.
Querverweise zu 2. Petrus 3,16 2Pet 3,16
PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
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}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
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.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
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.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
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.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
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?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
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}
Thou shalt not followH310 a multitudeH7227 to do evilH7451; neither shalt thou speakH6030 in a causeH7379 to declineH5186 afterH310 manyH7227 to wrestH5186 judgment: {speak: Heb. answer}
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
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.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I declareG1107 unto youG5213 the gospelG2098 whichG3739 I preachedG2097 unto youG5213, whichG3739 alsoG2532 ye have receivedG3880, andG2532 whereinG1722+G3739 ye standG2476;
ByG1223 whichG3739 alsoG2532 ye are savedG4982, ifG1487 ye keepG2722 in memory whatG5101+G3056 I preachedG2097 unto youG5213, unlessG1622+G1508 ye have believedG4100 in vainG1500. {keep…: or, hold fast} {what: Gr. by what speech}
ForG1063 I deliveredG3860 unto youG5213 first of allG1722+G4413 that whichG3739 IG3880 alsoG2532 receivedG3880, howG3754 that ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 ourG2257 sinsG266 accordingG2596 to the scripturesG1124;
AndG2532 thatG3754 he was buriedG2290, andG2532 thatG3754 he rose againG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 accordingG2596 to the scripturesG1124:
AndG2532 thatG3754 he was seenG3700 of CephasG2786, thenG1534 of the twelveG1427:
After thatG1899, he was seenG3700 of aboveG1883 five hundredG4001 brethrenG80 at onceG2178; ofG1537 whomG3739 the greater partG4119 remainG3306 untoG2193 this presentG737, butG1161 someG5100+G2532 are fallen asleepG2837.
After thatG1899, he was seenG3700 of JamesG2385; thenG1534 of allG3956 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 lastG2078 of allG3956 he was seenG3700 of me alsoG2504, asG5619 of one born out of due timeG1626. {one…: or, an abortive}
ForG1063 IG1473 amG1510 the leastG1646 of the apostlesG652, thatG3739 amG1510 notG3756 meetG2425 to be calledG2564 an apostleG652, becauseG1360 I persecutedG1377 the churchG1577 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 I amG1510 whatG3739 I amG1510: andG2532 hisG846 graceG5485 which was bestowed uponG1519 meG1691 wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756; butG235 I labouredG2872 more abundantlyG4054 than theyG846 allG3956: yetG1161 notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 was withG4862 meG1698.
ThereforeG3767 whetherG1535 it were IG1473 orG1535 theyG1565, soG3779 we preachG2784, andG2532 soG3779 ye believedG4100.
NowG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be preachedG2784 thatG3754 he roseG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, howG4459 sayG3004 someG5100 amongG1722 youG5213 thatG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498?
ButG1161 ifG1487 there beG2076 noG3756 resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, thenG3761 isG1453 ChristG5547 notG3761 risenG1453:
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 risenG1453, thenG686 is ourG2257 preachingG2782 vainG2756, andG2532 yourG5216 faithG4102 isG1161 alsoG2532 vainG2756.
YeaG1161, andG2532 we are foundG2147 false witnessesG5575 of GodG2316; becauseG3754 we have testifiedG3140 ofG2596 GodG2316 thatG3754 he raised upG1453 ChristG5547: whomG3739 he raisedG1453 notG3756 upG1453, ifG1512 so beG686 that the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756, then isG1453 notG3761 ChristG5547 raisedG1453:
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 beG1453 notG3756 raisedG1453, yourG5216 faithG4102 is vainG3152; ye areG2075 yetG2089 inG1722 yourG5216 sinsG266.
ThenG686 they alsoG2532 which are fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 are perishedG622.
IfG1487 inG1722 thisG5026 lifeG2222 onlyG3440 we have hopeG1679+G2070 inG1722 ChristG5547, we areG2070 of allG3956 menG444 most miserableG1652.
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
ForG1063 sinceG1894 byG1223 manG444 came deathG2288, byG1223 manG444 came alsoG2532 the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498.
ForG1063 asG5618 inG1722 AdamG76 allG3956 dieG599, evenG2532 soG3779 inG1722 ChristG5547 shallG2227 allG3956 be made aliveG2227.
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
ThenG1534 cometh the endG5056, whenG3752 he shall have delivered upG3860 the kingdomG932 to GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; whenG3752 he shall have put downG2673 allG3956 ruleG746 andG2532 allG3956 authorityG1849 andG2532 powerG1411.
ForG1063 heG846 mustG1163 reignG936, tillG891+G3739 he hath putG302+G5087 allG3956 enemiesG2190 underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228.
The lastG2078 enemyG2190 that shall be destroyedG2673 is deathG2288.
ForG1063 he hath putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228. ButG1161 whenG3752 he saithG2036+G3754, all thingsG3956 are put underG5293 him, it is manifestG1212 thatG3754 he is exceptedG1622, which did putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5293 himG846.
AndG1161 whenG3752 all thingsG3956 shall be subduedG5293 unto himG846, thenG5119 shallG5293 the SonG5207 alsoG2532 himselfG846 be subjectG5293 unto him that putG5293 all thingsG3956 underG5293 himG846, thatG2443 GodG2316 may beG5600 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ElseG1893 whatG5101 shall they doG4160 which are baptizedG907 forG5228 the deadG3498, ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756 at allG3654? whyG5101+G2532 are they then baptizedG907 forG5228 the deadG3498?
AndG2532 whyG5101 standG2793 weG2249 in jeopardyG2793 everyG3956 hourG5610?
I protest byG3513 yourG5212 rejoicingG2251+G2746 whichG3739 I haveG2192 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962, I dieG599 dailyG2596+G2250. {your: some read, our}
IfG1487 after the mannerG2596 of menG444 I have fought with beastsG2341 atG1722 EphesusG2181, whatG5101 advantageth itG3786 meG3427, ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756? let us eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095; forG1063 to morrowG839 we dieG599. {after…: or, to speak after the manner of men}
BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: evilG2556 communicationsG3657 corruptG5351 goodG5543 mannersG2239.
AwakeG1594 to righteousnessG1346, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361; forG1063 someG5100 haveG2192 not the knowledgeG56 of GodG2316: I speakG3004 this toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791.
ButG235 someG5100 man will sayG2046, HowG4459 areG1453 the deadG3498 raised upG1453? andG1161 with whatG4169 bodyG4983 do they comeG2064?
Thou foolG878, that whichG3739 thouG4771 sowestG4687 isG2227 notG3756 quickenedG2227, exceptG3362 it dieG599:
AndG2532 that whichG3739 thou sowestG4687, thou sowestG4687 notG3756 that bodyG4983 that shall beG1096, butG235 bareG1131 grainG2848, it may chanceG1487+G5177 of wheatG4621, orG2228 of someG5100 otherG3062 grain:
ButG1161 GodG2316 givethG1325 itG846 a bodyG4983 asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309, andG2532 to everyG1538 seedG4690 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
AllG3956 fleshG4561 is notG3756 the sameG846 fleshG4561: butG235+G3303 there is oneG243 kind of fleshG4561 of menG444+G1161, anotherG243 fleshG4561 of beastsG2934+G1161, anotherG243 of fishesG2486, andG1161 anotherG243 of birdsG4421.
There are alsoG2532 celestialG2032 bodiesG4983, andG2532 bodiesG4983 terrestrialG1919: butG235+G3303 the gloryG1391 of the celestialG2032 is oneG2087, andG1161 the glory of the terrestrialG1919 is anotherG2087.
There is oneG243 gloryG1391 of the sunG2246, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the moonG4582, andG2532 anotherG243 gloryG1391 of the starsG792: forG1063 one starG792 differeth fromG1308 another starG792 inG1722 gloryG1391.
SoG3779 alsoG2532 is the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498. It is sownG4687 inG1722 corruptionG5356; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 incorruptionG861:
It is sownG4687 inG1722 dishonourG819; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 gloryG1391: it is sownG4687 inG1722 weaknessG769; it is raisedG1453 inG1722 powerG1411:
It is sownG4687 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983; it is raisedG1453 a spiritualG4152 bodyG4983. There isG2076 a naturalG5591 bodyG4983, andG2532 there isG2076 a spiritualG4152 bodyG4983.
AndG2532 soG3779 it is writtenG1125, The firstG4413 manG444 AdamG76 was madeG1096+G1519 a livingG2198 soulG5590; the lastG2078 AdamG76 was madeG1519 a quickeningG2227 spiritG4151.
HowbeitG235 that was notG3756 firstG4412 which is spiritualG4152, butG235 that which is naturalG5591; and afterwardG1899 that which is spiritualG4152.
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
AsG3634 is the earthyG5517, suchG5108 are they alsoG2532 that are earthyG5517: andG2532 as isG3634 the heavenlyG2032, suchG5108 are theyG2032 alsoG2532 that are heavenlyG2032.
AndG2532 asG2531 we have borneG5409 the imageG1504 of the earthyG5517, we shallG5409 alsoG2532 bearG5409 the imageG1504 of the heavenlyG2032.
NowG1161 thisG5124 I sayG5346, brethrenG80, thatG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 cannotG3756+G1410 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; neitherG3761 dothG2816 corruptionG5356 inheritG2816 incorruptionG861.
BeholdG2400, I shewG3004 youG5213 a mysteryG3466; We shallG2837 notG3756 allG3956+G3303 sleepG2837, butG1161 we shallG236 allG3956 be changedG236,
InG1722 a momentG823, inG1722 the twinklingG4493 of an eyeG3788, atG1722 the lastG2078 trumpG4536: forG1063 the trumpet shall soundG4537, andG2532 the deadG3498 shall be raisedG1453 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 weG2249 shall be changedG236.
ForG1063 thisG5124 corruptibleG5349 mustG1163 put onG1746 incorruptionG861, andG2532 thisG5124 mortalG2349 must put onG1746 immortalityG110.
SoG1161 whenG3752 thisG5124 corruptibleG5349 shall have put onG1746 incorruptionG861, andG2532 thisG5124 mortalG2349 shall have put onG1746 immortalityG110, thenG5119 shall be brought to passG1096 the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125, DeathG2288 is swallowed upG2666 inG1519 victoryG3534.
O deathG2288, whereG4226 is thyG4675 stingG2759? O graveG86, whereG4226 is thyG4675 victoryG3534? {grave: or, hell}
The stingG2759 of deathG2288 is sinG266; andG1161 the strengthG1411 of sinG266 is the lawG3551.
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 givethG1325 usG2254 the victoryG3534 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, be yeG1096 stedfastG1476, unmoveableG277, alwaysG3842 aboundingG4052 inG1722 the workG2041 of the LordG2962, forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216 labourG2873 isG2076 notG3756 in vainG2756 inG1722 the LordG2962.
OfG4012 whomG3739 weG2254 haveG3056 many thingsG4183 to sayG3056, andG2532 hardG1421 to be utteredG3004, seeingG1893 ye areG1096 dullG3576 of hearingG189.
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, WhyG1302 do yeG5210 alsoG2532 transgressG3845 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862?
WhoseG3739 endG5056 is destructionG684, whoseG3739 GodG2316 is their bellyG2836, andG2532 whose gloryG1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG152, whoG3588 mindG5426 earthly thingsG1919.)
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG38, that yeG5209 should abstainG567 fromG575 fornicationG4202:
That every oneG1538 of youG5216 should knowG1492 how to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG38 andG2532 honourG5092;
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ForG1063 ofG1537 this sortG5130 are theyG1526 which creepG1744 intoG1519 housesG3614, andG2532 lead captiveG162 silly womenG1133 ladenG4987 with sinsG266, led awayG71 with diversG4164 lustsG1939,
EverG3842 learningG3129, andG2532 neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
Thou shalt not wrestH5186 judgmentH4941; thou shalt not respectH5234 personsH6440, neither takeH3947 a giftH7810: for a giftH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervertH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {words: or, matters}
AndG2532 honourG5091 notG3364 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384, he shall be free. ThusG2532 have ye madeG208 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862.
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
Then MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against IsraelH3478 afterH310 the deathH4194 of AhabH256.
And AhaziahH274 fell downH5307 through a latticeH7639 in his upper chamberH5944 that was in SamariaH8111, and was sickH2470: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397, and saidH559 unto them, GoH3212, enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138 whether I shall recoverH2421 of this diseaseH2483.
But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to meetH7125 the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111, and sayH1696 unto them, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that ye goH1980 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138?
Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. And ElijahH452 departedH3212. {Thou shalt…: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it}
And when the messengersH4397 turned backH7725 unto him, he saidH559 unto them, Why are ye nowH2088 turned backH7725?
And they saidH559 unto him, There cameH5927 a manH376 upH5927 to meetH7125 us, and saidH559 unto us, GoH3212, turn againH7725 unto the kingH4428 that sentH7971 you, and sayH1696 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that thou sendestH7971 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And he saidH1696 unto them, What mannerH4941 of manH376 was he which came upH5927 to meetH7125 you, and toldH1696 you these wordsH1697? {What…: Heb. What was the manner of the man}
And they answeredH559 him, He was an hairyH8181 manH1167+H376, and girtH247 with a girdleH232 of leatherH5785 about his loinsH4975. And he saidH559, It is ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 unto him a captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And he went upH5927 to him: and, behold, he satH3427 on the topH7218 of an hillH2022. And he spakeH1696 unto him, Thou manH376 of GodH430, the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, Come downH3381.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 to the captainH8269 of fiftyH2572, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, then let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And there came downH3381 fireH784 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
AgainH7725 also he sentH7971 unto him anotherH312 captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And he answeredH6030 and saidH1696 unto him, O manH376 of GodH430, thus hath the kingH4428 saidH559, Come downH3381 quicklyH4120.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 unto them, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And the fireH784 of GodH430 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
And he sentH7971 againH7725 a captainH8269 of the thirdH7992 fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And the thirdH7992 captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 went upH5927, and cameH935 and fellH3766 on his kneesH1290 beforeH5048 ElijahH452, and besoughtH2603 him, and saidH1696 unto him, O manH376 of GodH430, I pray thee, let my lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of these fiftyH2572 thy servantsH5650, be preciousH3365 in thy sightH5869. {fell: Heb. bowed}
Behold, there cameH3381 fireH784 downH3381 from heavenH8064, and burnt upH398 the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the formerH7223 fiftiesH2572 with their fiftiesH2572: therefore let my lifeH5315 now be preciousH3365 in thy sightH5869.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto ElijahH452, Go downH3381 with him: be not afraidH3372 of himH6440. And he aroseH6965, and went downH3381 with him unto the kingH4428.
And he saidH1696 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Forasmuch as thou hast sentH7971 messengersH4397 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138, is it not because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478 to enquireH1875 of his wordH1697? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 off that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
So he diedH4191 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which ElijahH452 had spokenH1696. And JehoramH3088 reignedH4427 in his stead in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; because he had no sonH1121.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhaziahH274 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, Ye do errG4105, notG3361 knowingG1492 the scripturesG1124, norG3366 the powerG1411 of GodG2316.
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.
