King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
ForG1063 a manG435 indeedG3303 oughtG3784 notG3756 to coverG2619 his headG2776, forasmuch as he isG5225 the imageG1504 andG2532 gloryG1391 of GodG2316: butG1161 the womanG1135 isG2076 the gloryG1391 of the manG435.
ForG473 this causeG5127 shallG2641 a manG444 leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall be joinedG4347 untoG4314 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 they twoG1417 shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ThisG5124 isG2076 a greatG3173 mysteryG3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG1519+G2532 the churchG1577.
ButG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 knowG1492, thatG3754 the headG2776 of everyG3956 manG435 isG2076 ChristG5547; andG1161 the headG2776 of the womanG1135 is the manG435; andG1161 the headG2776 of ChristG5547 is GodG2316.
ForG1063 the manG435 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the womanG1135; butG235 the womanG1135 ofG1537 the manG435.
NeitherG3756 wasG2936 the manG435 createdG2936 forG1223 the womanG1135; butG235 the womanG1135 forG1223 the manG435.
LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG5216 prayersG4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581.
ThatG2443 they may teachG4994 the young womenG3501 to beG1511 soberG4994, to love their husbandsG5362, to love their childrenG5388, {sober: or, wise}
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG5216 prayersG4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135, andG2532 beG4087 notG3361 bitterG4087 againstG4314 themG846.
And AdamH120 saidH559, ThisH2063 is nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bonesH6106, and fleshH1320 of my fleshH1320: sheH2063 shall be calledH7121 WomanH802, because sheH2063 was takenH3947 out of ManH376. {Woman: Heb. Isha} {Man: Heb. Ish}
ThereforeH3651 shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleaveH1692 unto his wifeH802: and they shall be oneH259 fleshH1320.
AndG2532 saidG2036, For thisG5127 causeG1752 shall a manG444 leaveG2641 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall cleaveG4347 to hisG846 wifeG1135: andG2532 they twainG1417 shall beG2071+G1519 oneG3391 fleshG4561?
WhereforeG5620 they areG1526 no moreG3765 twainG1417, butG235 oneG3391 fleshG4561. WhatG3739 thereforeG3767 GodG2316 hath joined togetherG4801, letG5563 notG3361 manG444 put asunderG5563.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall put awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, exceptG1508 it be forG1909 fornicationG4202, andG2532 shall marryG1060 anotherG243, committeth adulteryG3429: andG2532 whoso marriethG1060 her whichG3588 is put awayG630 doth commit adulteryG3429.
If anyG1536 of youG5216 lackG3007 wisdomG4678, let him askG154 ofG3844 GodG2316, that givethG1325 to allG3956 men liberallyG574, andG2532 upbraidethG3679 notG3361; andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 himG846.
ButG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 knowG1492, thatG3754 the headG2776 of everyG3956 manG435 isG2076 ChristG5547; andG1161 the headG2776 of the womanG1135 is the manG435; andG1161 the headG2776 of ChristG5547 is GodG2316.
ForG3754 the husbandG435 isG2076 the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, evenG2532 asG5613 ChristG5547 is the headG2776 of the churchG1577: andG2532 heG846 isG2076 the saviourG4990 of the bodyG4983.
ButG1161 if anyG1536 provideG4306 notG3756 for his ownG2398, andG2532 speciallyG3122 for those of his own houseG3609, he hath deniedG720 the faithG4102, andG2532 isG2076 worse thanG5501 an infidelG571. {house: or, kindred}
I willG1014 thereforeG3767 that menG435 prayG4336 everyG1722+G3956 whereG5117, lifting upG1869 holyG3741 handsG5495, withoutG5565 wrathG3709 andG2532 doubtingG1261.
EveryG3956 manG435 prayingG4336 orG2228 prophesyingG4395, havingG2192 his headG2776 coveredG2596, dishonourethG2617 hisG846 headG2776.
ForG1063 a manG435 indeedG3303 oughtG3784 notG3756 to coverG2619 his headG2776, forasmuch as he isG5225 the imageG1504 andG2532 gloryG1391 of GodG2316: butG1161 the womanG1135 isG2076 the gloryG1391 of the manG435.
NeverthelessG4133 neitherG3777 is the manG435 withoutG5565 the womanG1135, neitherG3777 the womanG1135 withoutG5565 the manG435, inG1722 the LordG2962.
LetG4601 yourG5216 womenG1135 keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchesG1577: forG1063 it isG2010 notG3756 permittedG2010 unto themG846 to speakG2980; butG235 they are commanded to be under obedienceG5293, asG2531 alsoG2532 saithG3004 the lawG3551.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they willG2309 learnG3129 any thingG5100, let them askG1905 theirG2398 husbandsG435 atG1722 homeG3624: forG1063 it isG2076 a shameG149 for womenG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 the churchG1577.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
WivesG1135, submit yourselvesG5293 unto your ownG2398 husbandsG435, asG5613 it is fitG433 inG1722 the LordG2962.
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
To be discreetG4998, chasteG53, keepers at homeG3626, goodG18, obedientG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435, thatG3363 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 beG987 notG3363 blasphemedG987.
LetG3129 the womanG1135 learnG3129 inG1722 silenceG2271 withG1722 allG3956 subjectionG5292.
LetG4601 yourG5216 womenG1135 keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchesG1577: forG1063 it isG2010 notG3756 permittedG2010 unto themG846 to speakG2980; butG235 they are commanded to be under obedienceG5293, asG2531 alsoG2532 saithG3004 the lawG3551.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
Submitting yourselvesG5293 one to anotherG240 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
Thus the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 were finishedH3615, and all the host of themH6635.
And on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 GodH430 endedH3615 his workH4399 which he had madeH6213; and he restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 from all his workH4399 which he had madeH6213.
And GodH430 blessedH1288 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and sanctifiedH6942 it: becauseH3588 that in it he had restedH7673 from all his workH4399 which GodH430 createdH1254 and madeH6213. {created…: Heb. created to make}
TheseH428 are the generationsH8435 of the heavensH8064 and of the earthH776 when they were createdH1254, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 GodH430 madeH6213 the earthH776 and the heavensH8064,
And every plantH7880 of the fieldH7704 beforeH2962 it was in the earthH776, and every herbH6212 of the fieldH7704 beforeH2962 it grewH6779: forH3588 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had notH3808 caused it to rainH4305 upon the earthH776, and there was notH369 a manH120 to tillH5647 the groundH127.
But there went upH5927 a mistH108 fromH4480 the earthH776, and wateredH8248 the whole faceH6440 of the groundH127. {there…: or, a mist which went up from, etc.}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 manH120 of the dustH6083 ofH4480 the groundH127, and breathedH5301 into his nostrilsH639 the breathH5397 of lifeH2416; and manH120 became a livingH2416 soulH5315. {of the dust…: Heb. dust of the ground}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 plantedH5193 a gardenH1588 eastwardH6924 in EdenH5731; and thereH8033 he putH7760 the manH120 whomH834 he had formedH3335.
And outH4480 of the groundH127 madeH6779 the LORDH3068 GodH430 to growH6779 every treeH6086 that is pleasantH2530 to the sightH4758, and goodH2896 for foodH3978; the treeH6086 of lifeH2416 also in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, and the treeH6086 of knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451.
And a riverH5104 went outH3318 of EdenH5731 to waterH8248 the gardenH1588; and from thence it was partedH6504, and became into fourH702 headsH7218.
The nameH8034 of the firstH259 is PisonH6376: thatH1931 is it which compassethH5437 the whole landH776 of HavilahH2341, whereH834 there is goldH2091;
And the goldH2091 of thatH1931 landH776 is goodH2896: there is bdelliumH916 and the onyxH7718 stoneH68.
And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 riverH5104 is GihonH1521: the same is it that compassethH5437 the whole landH776 of EthiopiaH3568. {Ethiopia: Heb. Cush}
And the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992 riverH5104 is HiddekelH2313: that is it which goeth towardH1980 the eastH6926 of AssyriaH804. And the fourthH7243 riverH5104 is EuphratesH6578. {toward…: or, eastward to Assyria}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 tookH3947 the manH120, and put himH3240 into the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 to dressH5647 it and to keepH8104 it. {the man: or, Adam}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 commandedH6680 the manH120, sayingH559, Of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588 thou mayest freelyH398 eatH398: {thou…: Heb. eating thou shalt eat}
But of the treeH6086 of the knowledgeH1847 of goodH2896 and evilH7451, thou shalt not eatH398 of it: for in the dayH3117 that thou eatestH398 thereof thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. {thou shalt surely…: Heb. dying thou shalt die}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, It is not goodH2896 that the manH120 should beH1961 alone; I will makeH6213 him an help meetH5828 for him. {meet…: Heb. as before him}
And out of the groundH127 the LORDH3068 GodH430 formedH3335 every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, and every fowlH5775 of the airH8064; and broughtH935 them unto AdamH120 to seeH7200 what he would callH7121 them: and whatsoever AdamH120 calledH7121 every livingH2416 creatureH5315, thatH1931 was the name thereofH8034. {Adam: or, the man}
And AdamH120 gaveH7121 namesH8034 to all cattleH929, and to the fowlH5775 of the airH8064, and to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704; but for AdamH120 there was not foundH4672 an help meetH5828 for him. {gave: Heb. called}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 causedH5307 a deep sleepH8639 to fallH5307 upon AdamH121, and he sleptH3462: and he tookH3947 oneH259 of his ribsH6763, and closed upH5462 the fleshH1320 instead thereof;
And the ribH6763, which the LORDH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 from manH120, madeH1129 he a womanH802, and broughtH935 her unto the manH120. {made: Heb. builded}
And AdamH120 saidH559, ThisH2063 is nowH6471 boneH6106 of my bonesH6106, and fleshH1320 of my fleshH1320: sheH2063 shall be calledH7121 WomanH802, because sheH2063 was takenH3947 out of ManH376. {Woman: Heb. Isha} {Man: Heb. Ish}
ThereforeH3651 shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleaveH1692 unto his wifeH802: and they shall be oneH259 fleshH1320.
And they were bothH8147 nakedH6174, the manH120 and his wifeH802, and were not ashamedH954.
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3956+G3748+G1437 ye doG4160, doG2038 it heartilyG1537+G5590, asG5613 to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 unto menG444;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ofG575 the LordG2962 ye shall receiveG618 the rewardG469 of the inheritanceG2817: forG1063 ye serveG1398 the LordG2962 ChristG5547.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG2036, We oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444.
Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. {daughters: Gr. children}
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
While they beholdG2029 yourG5216 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401.
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.
ForG1063 it isG2076 a shameG149 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of those thingsG2931 which are doneG1096 ofG5259 themG846 in secretG2931.
ButG1161 all thingsG3956 that are reprovedG1651 are made manifestG5319 byG5259 the lightG5457: forG1063 whatsoeverG3956 doth make manifestG5319 isG2076 lightG5457. {reproved: or, discovered}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, Awake thouG1453 that sleepestG2518, andG2532 ariseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 ChristG5547 shall giveG2017 theeG4671 lightG2017. {he: or, it}
SeeG991 thenG3767 thatG4459 ye walkG4043 circumspectlyG199, notG3361 asG5613 foolsG781, butG235 asG5613 wiseG4680,
RedeemingG1805 the timeG2540, becauseG3754 the daysG2250 areG1526 evilG4190.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 be yeG1096 notG3361 unwiseG878, butG235 understandingG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is.
AndG2532 beG3182 notG3361 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, whereinG1722+G3739 isG2076 excessG810; butG235 be filledG4137 withG1722 the SpiritG4151;
SpeakingG2980 to yourselvesG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 andG2532 making melodyG5567 inG1722 yourG5216 heartG2588 to the LordG2962;
Giving thanksG2168 alwaysG3842 forG5228 all thingsG3956 unto GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;
Submitting yourselvesG5293 one to anotherG240 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
WivesG1135, submit yourselvesG5293 unto your ownG2398 husbandsG435, asG5613 unto the LordG2962.
ForG3754 the husbandG435 isG2076 the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, evenG2532 asG5613 ChristG5547 is the headG2776 of the churchG1577: andG2532 heG846 isG2076 the saviourG4990 of the bodyG4983.
ThereforeG235 asG5618 the churchG1577 is subjectG5293 unto ChristG5547, soG3779+G2532 let the wivesG1135 be to their ownG2398 husbandsG435 inG1722 every thingG3956.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
ThatG2443 heG846 might sanctifyG37 and cleanse itG2511 with the washingG3067 of waterG5204 byG1722 the wordG4487,
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
SoG3779 oughtG3784 menG435 to loveG25 theirG1438 wivesG1135 asG5613 their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He that lovethG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 lovethG25 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 no manG3762 ever yetG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561; butG235 nourishethG1625 andG2532 cherishethG2282 itG846, even asG2531+G2532 the LordG2962 the churchG1577:
ForG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 of hisG846 bodyG4983, ofG1537 hisG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 bonesG3747.
ForG473 this causeG5127 shallG2641 a manG444 leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall be joinedG4347 untoG4314 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 they twoG1417 shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ThisG5124 isG2076 a greatG3173 mysteryG3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG1519+G2532 the churchG1577.
NeverthelessG4133+G2532 letG25 every oneG1520+G1538 of youG5210 in particularG2596 soG3779 loveG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 even asG5613 himselfG1438; andG1161 the wifeG1135 see thatG2443 she reverenceG5399 her husbandG435.
Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. {daughters: Gr. children}
ButG1161 I sufferG2010 notG3756 a womanG1135 to teachG1321, norG3761 to usurp authorityG831 over the manG435, butG235 to beG1511 inG1722 silenceG2271.
I willG1014 thereforeG3767 that menG435 prayG4336 everyG1722+G3956 whereG5117, lifting upG1869 holyG3741 handsG5495, withoutG5565 wrathG3709 andG2532 doubtingG1261.
In like mannerG5615 alsoG2532, that womenG1135 adornG2885 themselvesG1438 inG1722 modestG2887 apparelG2689, withG3326 shamefacednessG127 andG2532 sobrietyG4997; notG3361 withG1722 broided hairG4117, orG2228 goldG5557, orG2228 pearlsG3135, orG2228 costlyG4185 arrayG2441; {broided: or, plaited}
ButG235 (whichG3739 becomethG4241 womenG1135 professingG1861 godlinessG2317) withG1223 goodG18 worksG2041.
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
While they beholdG2029 yourG5216 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401.
WhoseG3739 adorningG2889 let itG2077 notG3756 beG2077 that outwardG1855 adorning of plaitingG1708 the hairG2359, andG2532 of wearingG4025 of goldG5553, orG2228 of putting onG1745 of apparelG2440;
ButG235 let it be the hiddenG2927 manG444 of the heartG2588, inG1722 that which is not corruptibleG862, even the ornament of a meekG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG2076 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 of great priceG4185.
LetG700 every oneG1538 of usG2257 pleaseG700 his neighbourG4139 forG1519 his goodG18 toG4314 edificationG3619.
AndG1161+G2532 withalG260 they learnG3129 to be idleG692, wandering aboutG4022 from house to houseG3614; andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idleG692, butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodiesG4021, speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 notG3361.
Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought upG5044 children, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints'G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
ForG1063 after this mannerG3779 in the old timeG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, whoG3588 trustedG1679 inG1909 GodG2316, adornedG2885 themselvesG1438, being in subjectionG5293 unto their ownG2398 husbandsG435:
And the eyesH5869 of them bothH8147 were openedH6491, and theyH1992 knewH3045 that they were nakedH5903; and they sewedH8609 figH8384 leavesH5929 togetherH8609, and made themselvesH6213 apronsH2290. {aprons: or, things to gird about}
Unto AdamH120 also and to his wifeH802 did the LORDH3068 GodH430 makeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.
AndG1161+G2532 withalG260 they learnG3129 to be idleG692, wandering aboutG4022 from house to houseG3614; andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idleG692, butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodiesG4021, speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 notG3361.
BlessedG3107 are the peacemakersG1518: forG3754 theyG846 shall be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316.
NotwithstandingG1161 she shall be savedG4982 inG1223 childbearingG5042, ifG1437 they continueG3306 inG1722 faithG4102 andG2532 charityG26 andG2532 holinessG38 withG3326 sobrietyG4997.
Unto the womanH802 he saidH559, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy sorrowH6093 and thy conceptionH2032; in sorrowH6089 thou shalt bring forthH3205 childrenH1121; and thy desireH8669 shall be to thy husbandH376, and he shall ruleH4910 over thee. {to thy…: or, subject to thy husband}
Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought upG5044 children, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints'G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
When I callG2983 to remembranceG5280 the unfeignedG505 faithG4102 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3748 dweltG1774 firstG4412 inG1722 thyG4675 grandmotherG3125 LoisG3090, andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384 EuniceG2131; andG1161 I am persuadedG3982 thatG3754 inG1722 theeG4671 alsoG2532.
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
He will blessH1288 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, both smallH6996 and greatH1419. {and: Heb. with}
The LORDH3068 shall increaseH3254 you more and more, you and your childrenH1121.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117;
And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776,
And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650:
Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086:
And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. {comfort: Heb. stay} {are…: Heb. you have passed}
And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213. {Make ready…: Heb. Hasten}
And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1121+H1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it.
And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121+H1241 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
And there cameH935 twoH8147 angelsH4397 to SodomH5467 at evenH6153; and LotH3876 satH3427 in the gateH8179 of SodomH5467: and LotH3876 seeingH7200 them rose upH6965 to meetH7125 them; and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 toward the groundH776;
And he saidH559, Behold now, my lordsH113, turn inH5493, I pray you, into your servant'sH5650 houseH1004, and tarry all nightH3885, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and ye shall rise up earlyH7925, and goH1980 on your waysH1870. And they saidH559, Nay; but we will abideH3885 in the streetH7339 all nightH3885.
And he pressedH6484 upon them greatlyH3966; and they turned inH5493 unto him, and enteredH935 into his houseH1004; and he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and did bakeH644 unleavened breadH4682, and they did eatH398.
And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet herH7125, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537.
And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113: and she hastedH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 upon her handH3027, and gave him drinkH8248.
And when she had doneH3615 giving him drinkH8248, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 water for thy camelsH1581 also, until they have doneH3615 drinkingH8354.
And she hastedH4116, and emptiedH6168 her pitcherH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 again unto the wellH875 to drawH7579 water, and drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.
And the manH376 wonderingH7583 at her held his peaceH2790, to witH3045 whether the LORDH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 prosperousH6743 orH518 not.
And it came to pass, as the camelsH1581 had doneH3615 drinkingH8354, that the manH376 tookH3947 a goldenH2091 earringH5141 of half a shekelH1235 weightH4948, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her handsH3027 of tenH6235 shekels weightH4948 of goldH2091; {earring: or, jewel for the forehead}
And saidH559, WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 art thouH859? tellH5046 me, I pray thee: is thereH3426 roomH4725 in thy father'sH1 houseH1004 for us to lodge inH3885?
And she saidH559 unto him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, which she bareH3205 unto NahorH5152.
She saidH559 moreover unto him, We have bothH1571 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 enoughH7227, andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge inH3885.
And it fell on a dayH3117, that ElishaH477 passedH5674 to ShunemH7766, where was a greatH1419 womanH802; and she constrainedH2388 him to eatH398 breadH3899. And so it was, that as oftH1767 as he passed byH5674, he turnedH5493 in thither to eatH398 breadH3899. {it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day} {constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him}
And she saidH559 unto her husbandH376, Behold now, I perceiveH3045 that this is an holyH6918 manH376 of GodH430, which passethH5674 by us continuallyH8548.
Let us makeH6213 a littleH6996 chamberH5944, I pray thee, on the wallH7023; and let us setH7760 for him there a bedH4296, and a tableH7979, and a stoolH3678, and a candlestickH4501: and it shall be, when he comethH935 to us, that he shall turnH5493 in thither.
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is GodH430 of godsH430, and LordH113 of lordsH113, a greatH1419 GodH410, a mightyH1368, and a terribleH3372, which regardethH5375 not personsH6440, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810:
He doth executeH6213 the judgmentH4941 of the fatherlessH3490 and widowH490, and lovethH157 the strangerH1616, in givingH5414 him foodH3899 and raimentH8071.
LoveH157 ye therefore the strangerH1616: for ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
Use hospitalityG5382 one to anotherG1519+G240 withoutG427 grudgingG1112.
BeG1950 notG3361 forgetfulG1950 to entertain strangersG5381: forG1063 therebyG1223+G5026 someG5100 have entertainedG3579 angelsG32 unawaresG2990.
BelovedG27, thou doestG4160 faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou doestG2038 toG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581;
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
ButG235 a lover of hospitalityG5382, a lover of good menG5358, soberG4998, justG1342, holyG3741, temperateG1468; {men: or, things}
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 drinkG4222: I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 inG4863:
NakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165: I was sickG770, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165: I wasG2252 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye cameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, andG2532 fedG5142 thee? orG2228 thirstyG1372, andG2532 gave thee drinkG4222?
WhenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 a strangerG3581, andG2532 took thee inG4863? orG2228 nakedG1131, andG2532 clothedG4016 thee?
Or whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571?
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
AndG1161 whenG5613 she was baptizedG907, andG2532 herG846 householdG3624, she besoughtG3870 us, sayingG3004, IfG1487 ye have judgedG2919 meG3165 to beG1511 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624, and abideG3306 there. AndG2532 she constrainedG3849 usG2248.
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
NowG1161 there wasG2258 atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329 is calledG3004 DorcasG1393: this womanG3778+G846 wasG2258 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160. {Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe}
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that she was sickG770, and diedG599: whom whenG1161 theyG846 had washedG3068+G846, they laidG5087 her inG1722 an upper chamberG5253.
AndG1161 forasmuch asG5607 LyddaG3069 was nighG1451 to JoppaG2445, and the disciplesG3101 had heardG191 thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG2076 thereG1722+G846, they sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 twoG1417 menG435, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG3635 notG3361 delayG3635 to comeG1330 toG2193 themG846. {delay: or, be grieved}
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went withG4905 themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG5607 withG3326 themG846.
I commendG4921 unto youG5213 PhebeG5402 ourG2257 sisterG79, which isG5607 a servantG1249 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 is atG1722 CenchreaG2747:
ThatG2443 ye receiveG4327 herG846 inG1722 the LordG2962, as becomethG516 saintsG40, andG2532 that ye assistG3936 herG846 inG1722 whatsoeverG3739+G302 businessG4229 she hath needG5535 of youG5216: forG1063 sheG3778+G846 hath beenG1096 a succourerG4368 of manyG4183, andG2532 of myselfG846+G1700 alsoG2532.
And SamuelH8050 diedH4191; and all the IsraelitesH3478 were gathered togetherH6908, and lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in his houseH1004 at RamahH7414. And DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and went downH3381 to the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290.
And there was a manH376 in MaonH4584, whose possessionsH4639 were in CarmelH3760; and the manH376 was veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and a thousandH505 goatsH5795: and he was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760. {possessions: or, business}
Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26: and she was a womanH802 of goodH2896 understandingH7922, and of a beautifulH3303 countenanceH8389: but the manH376 was churlishH7186 and evilH7451 in his doingsH4611; and he was of the house of CalebH3614.
And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And DavidH1732 sent outH7971 tenH6235 young menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young menH5288, Get you upH5927 to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greetH7592+H7965 him in my nameH8034: {greet…: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}
And thus shall ye sayH559 to him that livethH2416 in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be both to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto all that thou hast.
And now I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: now thy shepherdsH7462 which were with us, we hurtH3637 them not, neither was there oughtH3972 missingH6485 unto them, all the whileH3117 they were in CarmelH3760. {hurt: Heb. shamed}
AskH7592 thy young menH5288, and they will shewH5046 thee. Wherefore let the young menH5288 findH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869: for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, whatsoever comethH4672 to thine handH3027 unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
And when David'sH1732 young menH5288 cameH935, they spakeH1696 to NabalH5037 according to all those wordsH1697 in the nameH8034 of DavidH1732, and ceasedH5117. {ceased: Heb. rested}
And NabalH5037 answeredH6030 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and saidH559, Who is DavidH1732? and who is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? there be manyH7231 servantsH5650 now a daysH3117 that break awayH6555 every manH376 fromH6440 his masterH113.
Shall I then takeH3947 my breadH3899, and my waterH4325, and my fleshH2878 that I have killedH2873 for my shearersH1494, and giveH5414 it unto menH582, whom I knowH3045 not whence they be? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}
So David'sH1732 young menH5288 turnedH2015 their wayH1870, and went againH7725, and cameH935 and toldH5046 him all those sayingsH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his menH582, Gird ye onH2296 every manH376 his swordH2719. And they girded onH2296 every manH376 his swordH2719; and DavidH1732 also girded onH2296 his swordH2719: and there went upH5927 afterH310 DavidH1732 about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376; and two hundredH3967 abodeH3427 by the stuffH3627.
But oneH259 of the young menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 to saluteH1288 our masterH113; and he railedH5860 on them. {railed…: Heb. flew upon them}
But the menH582 were veryH3966 goodH2896 unto us, and we were not hurtH3637, neither missedH6485 we any thingH3972, as long asH3117 we were conversantH1980 with them, when we were in the fieldsH7704: {hurt: Heb. shamed}
They were a wallH2346 unto us both by nightH3915 and dayH3119, all the whileH3117 we were with them keepingH7462 the sheepH6629.
Now therefore knowH3045 and considerH7200 what thou wilt doH6213; for evilH7451 is determinedH3615 against our masterH113, and against all his householdH1004: for he is such a sonH1121 of BelialH1100, that a man cannot speakH1696 to him.
Then AbigailH26 made hasteH4116, and tookH3947 two hundredH3967 loavesH3899, and twoH8147 bottlesH5035 of wineH3196, and fiveH2568 sheepH6629 ready dressedH6213, and fiveH2568 measuresH5429 of parchedH7039 corn, and an hundredH3967 clusters of raisinsH6778, and two hundredH3967 cakesH1690 of figs, and laidH7760 them on assesH2543. {clusters: or, lumps}
And she saidH559 unto her servantsH5288, Go onH5674 beforeH6440 me; behold, I comeH935 afterH310 you. But she toldH5046 not her husbandH376 NabalH5037.
And it was so, as she rodeH7392 on the assH2543, that she came downH3381 by the covertH5643 of the hillH2022, and, behold, DavidH1732 and his menH582 came downH3381 againstH7125 her; and she metH6298 them.
Now DavidH1732 had saidH559, Surely in vainH8267 have I keptH8104 all that thisH2088 fellow hath in the wildernessH4057, so that nothingH3972 was missedH6485 of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requitedH7725 me evilH7451 for goodH2896.
SoH3541 and moreH3254 also doH6213 GodH430 unto the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732, if I leaveH7604 of all that pertain to him byH5704 the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
And when AbigailH26 sawH7200 DavidH1732, she hastedH4116, and lighted offH3381 the assH2543, and fellH5307 beforeH639 DavidH1732 on her faceH6440, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776,
And fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Upon me, my lordH113, upon me let this iniquityH5771 be: and let thine handmaidH519, I pray thee, speakH1696 in thine audienceH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH589. {audience: Heb. ears}
LetH7760 not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this manH376 of BelialH1100, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidH519 sawH7200 not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971. {regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}
Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withholdenH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037. {avenging…: Heb. saving thyself}
And now this blessingH1293 which thine handmaidH8198 hath broughtH935 unto my lordH113, let it even be givenH5414 unto the young menH5288 that followH1980+H7272 my lordH113. {blessing: or, present} {follow…: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}
I pray thee, forgiveH5375 the trespassH6588 of thine handmaidH519: for the LORDH3068 will certainlyH6213 makeH6213 my lordH113 a sureH539 houseH1004; because my lordH113 fightethH3898 the battlesH4421 of the LORDH3068, and evilH7451 hath not been foundH4672 in thee all thy daysH3117.
Yet a manH120 is risenH6965 to pursueH7291 thee, and to seekH1245 thy soulH5315: but the soulH5315 of my lordH113 shall be boundH6887 in the bundleH6872 of lifeH2416 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the soulsH5315 of thine enemiesH341, them shall he sling outH7049, as out of the middleH8432+H3709 of a slingH7050. {as out…: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}
And it shall come to pass, when the LORDH3068 shall have doneH6213 to my lordH113 according to all the goodH2896 that he hath spokenH1696 concerning thee, and shall have appointedH6680 thee rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478;
That this shall be no griefH6330 unto thee, nor offenceH4383 of heartH3820 unto my lordH113, either that thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 causelessH2600, or that my lordH113 hath avengedH3467 himself: but when the LORDH3068 shall have dealt wellH3190 with my lordH113, then rememberH2142 thine handmaidH519. {no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which sentH7971 thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 me:
And blessedH1288 be thy adviceH2940, and blessedH1288 be thou, which hast keptH3607 me this dayH3117 from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 myself with mine own handH3027.
For in very deedH199, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, which hath kept me backH4513 from hurtingH7489 thee, exceptH3884 thou hadst hastedH4116 and comeH935 to meetH7125 me, surely there had not been leftH3498 unto NabalH5037 by the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
So DavidH1732 receivedH3947 of her handH3027 that which she had broughtH935 him, and saidH559 unto her, Go upH5927 in peaceH7965 to thine houseH1004; seeH7200, I have hearkenedH8085 to thy voiceH6963, and have acceptedH5375 thy personH6440.
And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal'sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore she toldH5046 him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216.
But it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 was gone outH3318 of NabalH5037, and his wifeH802 had toldH5046 him these thingsH1697, that his heartH3820 diedH4191 withinH7130 him, and he became as a stoneH68.
And it came to pass about tenH6235 daysH3117 after, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 NabalH5037, that he diedH4191.
And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037, and hath keptH2820 his servantH5650 from evilH7451: for the LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of NabalH5037 upon his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and communedH1696 with AbigailH26, to takeH3947 her to him to wifeH802.
And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were comeH935 to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spakeH1696 unto her, sayingH559, DavidH1732 sentH7971 us unto thee, to takeH3947 thee to him to wifeH802.
And she aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, Behold, let thine handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113.
And AbigailH26 hastedH4116, and aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 upon an assH2543, with fiveH2568 damselsH5291 of hers that wentH1980 afterH7272 her; and she wentH3212 afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and became his wifeH802. {after her: Heb. at her feet}
DavidH1732 also tookH3947 AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they were also bothH8147 of them his wivesH802.
But SaulH7586 had givenH5414 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David'sH1732 wifeH802, to PhaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, which was of GallimH1554.
I commendG4921 unto youG5213 PhebeG5402 ourG2257 sisterG79, which isG5607 a servantG1249 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 is atG1722 CenchreaG2747:
ThatG2443 ye receiveG4327 herG846 inG1722 the LordG2962, as becomethG516 saintsG40, andG2532 that ye assistG3936 herG846 inG1722 whatsoeverG3739+G302 businessG4229 she hath needG5535 of youG5216: forG1063 sheG3778+G846 hath beenG1096 a succourerG4368 of manyG4183, andG2532 of myselfG846+G1700 alsoG2532.
GreetG782 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207 myG3450 helpersG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhoG3748 haveG5294 forG5228 myG3450 lifeG5590 laid downG5294 their ownG1438 necksG5137: unto whomG3739 notG3756 onlyG3441 IG1473 give thanksG2168, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 of the GentilesG1484.
LikewiseG2532 greet the churchG1577 that is inG2596 theirG846 houseG3624. SaluteG782 myG3450 wellbelovedG27 EpaenetusG1866, whoG3739 isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882 untoG1519 ChristG5547.
GreetG782 MaryG3137, whoG3748 bestowedG2872 muchG4183 labourG2872 onG1519 usG2248.
SaluteG782 AndronicusG408 andG2532 JuniaG2458, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, andG2532 myG3450 fellowprisonersG4869, whoG3748 areG1526 of noteG1978 amongG1722 the apostlesG652, whoG3739 alsoG2532 wereG1096 inG1722 ChristG5547 beforeG4253 meG1700.
GreetG782 AmpliasG291 myG3450 belovedG27 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 UrbaneG3773, ourG2257 helperG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 StachysG4720 myG3450 belovedG27.
SaluteG782 ApellesG559 approvedG1384 inG1722 ChristG5547. SaluteG782 themG3588 which are ofG1537 Aristobulus'G711 household. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 HerodionG2267 myG3450 kinsmanG4773. GreetG782 themG3588 that be ofG1537 the household of NarcissusG3488, whichG3588 areG5607 inG1722 the LordG2962. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 TryphenaG5170 andG2532 TryphosaG5173, who labourG2872 inG1722 the LordG2962. SaluteG782 the belovedG27 PersisG4069, whichG3748 labouredG2872 muchG4183 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 RufusG4504 chosenG1588 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 mineG1700.
SaluteG782 AsyncritusG799, PhlegonG5393, HermasG2057, PatrobasG3969, HermesG2060, andG2532 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 PhilologusG5378, andG2532 JuliaG2456, NereusG3517, andG2532 hisG846 sisterG79, andG2532 OlympasG3652, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 an holyG40 kissG5370. The churchesG1577 of ChristG5547 saluteG782 youG5209.
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, markG4648 them which causeG4160 divisionsG1370 andG2532 offencesG4625 contraryG3844 to the doctrineG1322 whichG3739 yeG5210 have learnedG3129; andG2532 avoidG1578 themG575+G846.
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
AndG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 shall bruiseG4937 SatanG4567 underG5259 yourG5216 feetG4228 shortlyG1722+G5034. The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216. AmenG281. {bruise: or, tread}
TimotheusG5095 myG3450 workfellowG4904, andG2532 LuciusG3066, andG2532 JasonG2394, andG2532 SosipaterG4989, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, saluteG782 youG5209.
IG1473 TertiusG5060, who wroteG1125 this epistleG1992, saluteG782 youG5209 inG1722 the LordG2962.
GaiusG1050 mineG3450 hostG3581, andG2532 of the wholeG3650 churchG1577, salutethG782 youG5209. ErastusG2037 the chamberlainG3623 of the cityG4172 salutethG782 youG5209, andG2532 QuartusG2890 a brotherG80.
The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
AndG2532 I intreatG2065 theeG4571 alsoG2532, trueG1103 yokefellowG4805, helpG4815 those womenG846 whichG3748 labouredG4866 with meG3427 inG1722 the gospelG2098, withG3326 ClementG2815 alsoG2532, andG2532 with otherG3062 myG3450 fellowlabourersG4904, whoseG3739 namesG3686 are inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222.
GreetG782 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207 myG3450 helpersG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 understoodG1097 it, he saidG2036 unto themG846, WhyG5101 trouble yeG2873+G3930 the womanG1135? forG1063 she hath wroughtG2038 a goodG2570 workG2041 uponG1519 meG1691.
The aged womenG4247 likewiseG5615, that they be inG1722 behaviourG2688 as becometh holinessG2412, notG3361 false accusersG1228, notG3361 givenG1402 to muchG4183 wineG3631, teachers of good thingsG2567; {holiness: or, holy women} {false…: or, one who foments strife}
ThatG2443 they may teachG4994 the young womenG3501 to beG1511 soberG4994, to love their husbandsG5362, to love their childrenG5388, {sober: or, wise}
To be discreetG4998, chasteG53, keepers at homeG3626, goodG18, obedientG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435, thatG3363 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 beG987 notG3363 blasphemedG987.
For threeH7969 things the earthH776 is disquietedH7264, and for fourH702 which it cannotH3201 bearH5375:
For a servantH5650 when he reignethH4427; and a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with meatH3899;
For an odiousH8130 woman when she is marriedH1166; and an handmaidH8198 that is heirH3423 to her mistressH1404.
Who can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 womanH802? for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubiesH6443.

She seekethH1875 woolH6785, and flaxH6593, and workethH6213 willinglyH2656 with her handsH3709.
She is like the merchants'H5503 shipsH591; she bringethH935 her foodH3899 from afarH4801.
She risethH6965 also while it is yet nightH3915, and givethH5414 meatH2964 to her householdH1004, and a portionH2706 to her maidensH5291.
She considerethH2161 a fieldH7704, and buyethH3947 it: with the fruitH6529 of her handsH3709 she plantethH5193 a vineyardH3754. {buyeth: Heb. taketh}
She girdethH2296 her loinsH4975 with strengthH5797, and strengthenethH553 her armsH2220.
She perceivethH2938 that her merchandiseH5504 is goodH2896: her candleH5216 goeth not outH3518 by nightH3915. {She…: Heb. She tasteth}
She layethH7971 her handsH3027 to the spindleH3601, and her handsH3709 holdH8551 the distaffH6418.
She stretcheth outH6566 her handH3709 to the poorH6041; yea, she reacheth forthH7971 her handsH3027 to the needyH34. {She…: Heb. She spreadeth}
She is not afraidH3372 of the snowH7950 for her householdH1004: for all her householdH1004 are clothedH3847 with scarletH8144. {scarlet: or, double garments}
She makethH6213 herself coverings of tapestryH4765; her clothingH3830 is silkH8336 and purpleH713.
Her husbandH1167 is knownH3045 in the gatesH8179, when he sittethH3427 among the eldersH2205 of the landH776.
She makethH6213 fine linenH5466, and sellethH4376 it; and deliverethH5414 girdlesH2289 unto the merchantH3669.
StrengthH5797 and honourH1926 are her clothingH3830; and she shall rejoiceH7832 in timeH3117 to comeH314.
She openethH6605 her mouthH6310 with wisdomH2451; and in her tongueH3956 is the lawH8451 of kindnessH2617.
She looketh wellH6822 to the waysH1979+H1979 of her householdH1004, and eatethH398 not the breadH3899 of idlenessH6104.
Her childrenH1121 arise upH6965, and call her blessedH833; her husbandH1167 also, and he praisethH1984 her.
ManyH7227 daughtersH1323 have doneH6213 virtuouslyH2428, but thou excellestH5927 them all. {have…: or, have gotten riches}
FavourH2580 is deceitfulH8267, and beautyH3308 is vainH1892: but a womanH802 that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, she shall be praisedH1984.
