Of every cleanH2889 beastH929 thou shalt takeH3947 to thee by sevensH7651+H7651, the maleH376 and his femaleH802: and of beastsH929 that are not cleanH2889+H1931 by twoH8147, the maleH376 and his femaleH802. {by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559 unto them,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the beastsH2416 which ye shall eatH398 among all the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776.
Whatsoever partethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8156+H8157, and chewethH5927 the cudH1625, among the beastsH929, that shall ye eatH398.
NeverthelessH389 these shall ye not eatH398 of them that chewH5927 the cudH1625, or of them that divideH6536 the hoofH6541: as the camelH1581, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the coneyH8227, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the hareH768, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the swineH2386, though he divideH6536 the hoofH6541, and be clovenfootedH8156+H8157, yet he chewethH1641 not the cudH1625; he is uncleanH2931 to you.
Of their fleshH1320 shall ye not eatH398, and their carcaseH5038 shall ye not touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 to you.
These shall ye eatH398 of all that are in the watersH4325: whatsoever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, them shall ye eatH398.
And all that have not finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, of all that moveH8318 in the watersH4325, and of any livingH2416 thingH5315 which is in the watersH4325, they shall be an abominationH8263 unto you:
They shall be even an abominationH8263 unto you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, but ye shall have their carcasesH5038 in abominationH8262.
Whatsoever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And these are they which ye shall have in abominationH8262 amongH4480 the fowlsH5775; they shall not be eatenH398, they are an abominationH8263: the eagleH5404, and the ossifrageH6538, and the osprayH5822,
And the vultureH1676, and the kiteH344 after his kindH4327;
Every ravenH6158 after his kindH4327;
And the owlH1323+H3284, and the night hawkH8464, and the cuckowH7828, and the hawkH5322 after his kindH4327,
And the little owlH3563, and the cormorantH7994, and the great owlH3244,
And the swanH8580, and the pelicanH6893, and the gier eagleH7360,
And the storkH2624, the heronH601 after her kindH4327, and the lapwingH1744, and the batH5847.
All fowlsH5775 that creepH8318, goingH1980 upon all fourH702, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
Yet these may ye eatH398 of every flyingH5775 creepingH8318 thing that goethH1980 upon all fourH702, which have legsH3767 aboveH4605 their feetH7272, to leapH5425 withalH2004 upon the earthH776;
Even these of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 after his kindH4327, and the bald locustH5556 after his kindH4327, and the beetleH2728 after his kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after his kindH4327.
But all other flyingH5775 creeping thingsH8318, which have fourH702 feetH7272, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And for these ye shall be uncleanH2930: whosoever touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 of them shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And whosoever bearethH5375 ought of the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
The carcases of every beastH929 which dividethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is not clovenfootedH8157+H8156, nor chewethH5927 the cudH1625, are uncleanH2931 unto you: every one that touchethH5060 them shall be uncleanH2930.
And whatsoeverH3605+H1992 goethH1980 upon his pawsH3709, among all manner of beastsH2416 that goH1980 on all fourH702, those are uncleanH2931 unto you: whoso touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: they are uncleanH2931 unto you.
These also shall be uncleanH2931 unto you among the creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776; the weaselH2467, and the mouseH5909, and the tortoiseH6632 after his kindH4327,
And the ferretH604, and the chameleonH3581, and the lizardH3911, and the snailH2546, and the moleH8580.
These are uncleanH2931 to you among all that creepH8318: whosoever doth touchH5060 them, when they be deadH4194, shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are deadH4194, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be any vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raimentH899, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatsoever vesselH3627 it be, wherein any workH4399 is doneH6213, it must be putH935 into waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153; so it shall be cleansedH2891.
And every earthenH2789 vesselH3627, whereinto any of them fallethH5307+H8432, whatsoever is in it shall be uncleanH2930; and ye shall breakH7665 it.
Of all meatH400 which may be eatenH398, that on which such waterH4325 comethH935 shall be uncleanH2930: and all drinkH4945 that may be drunkH8354 in every such vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930.
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcaseH5038 fallethH5307 shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be ovenH8574, or rangesH3600 for pots, they shall be broken downH5422: for they are uncleanH2931, and shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
Nevertheless a fountainH4599 or pitH953, wherein there is plentyH4723 of waterH4325, shall be cleanH2889: but that which touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930. {wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters}
And if any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 upon any sowingH2221 seedH2233 which is to be sownH2232, it shall be cleanH2889.
But if any waterH4325 be putH5414 upon the seedH2233, and any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 thereon, it shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
And if any beastH929, of which ye may eatH402, dieH4191; he that touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 thereof shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that eatethH398 of the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: he also that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776 shall be an abominationH8263; it shall not be eatenH398.
Whatsoever goethH1980 upon the bellyH1512, and whatsoever goethH1980 upon all fourH702, or whatsoever hath moreH7235 feetH7272 among all creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776, them ye shall not eatH398; for they are an abominationH8263. {hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet}
Ye shall not makeH8262 yourselvesH5315 abominableH8262 with any creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317, neither shall ye make yourselves uncleanH2933 with them, that ye should be defiledH2930 thereby. {yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc}
For I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselvesH6942, and ye shall be holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselvesH5315 with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776.
For I am the LORDH3068 that bringethH5927 you up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: ye shall therefore be holyH6918, for I am holyH6918.
This is the lawH8451 of the beastsH929, and of the fowlH5775, and of every livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movethH7430 in the watersH4325, and of every creatureH5315 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776:
To make a differenceH914 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and between the beastH2416 that may be eatenH398 and the beastH2416 that may not be eatenH398.
Of every cleanH2889 beastH929 thou shalt takeH3947 to thee by sevensH7651+H7651, the maleH376 and his femaleH802: and of beastsH929 that are not cleanH2889+H1931 by twoH8147, the maleH376 and his femaleH802. {by sevens: Heb. seven seven}
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559 unto them,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the beastsH2416 which ye shall eatH398 among all the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776.
Whatsoever partethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8156+H8157, and chewethH5927 the cudH1625, among the beastsH929, that shall ye eatH398.
NeverthelessH389 these shall ye not eatH398 of them that chewH5927 the cudH1625, or of them that divideH6536 the hoofH6541: as the camelH1581, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the coneyH8227, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the hareH768, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the swineH2386, though he divideH6536 the hoofH6541, and be clovenfootedH8156+H8157, yet he chewethH1641 not the cudH1625; he is uncleanH2931 to you.
Of their fleshH1320 shall ye not eatH398, and their carcaseH5038 shall ye not touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 to you.
These shall ye eatH398 of all that are in the watersH4325: whatsoever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, them shall ye eatH398.
And all that have not finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, of all that moveH8318 in the watersH4325, and of any livingH2416 thingH5315 which is in the watersH4325, they shall be an abominationH8263 unto you:
They shall be even an abominationH8263 unto you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, but ye shall have their carcasesH5038 in abominationH8262.
Whatsoever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And these are they which ye shall have in abominationH8262 amongH4480 the fowlsH5775; they shall not be eatenH398, they are an abominationH8263: the eagleH5404, and the ossifrageH6538, and the osprayH5822,
And the vultureH1676, and the kiteH344 after his kindH4327;
Every ravenH6158 after his kindH4327;
And the owlH1323+H3284, and the night hawkH8464, and the cuckowH7828, and the hawkH5322 after his kindH4327,
And the little owlH3563, and the cormorantH7994, and the great owlH3244,
And the swanH8580, and the pelicanH6893, and the gier eagleH7360,
And the storkH2624, the heronH601 after her kindH4327, and the lapwingH1744, and the batH5847.
All fowlsH5775 that creepH8318, goingH1980 upon all fourH702, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
Yet these may ye eatH398 of every flyingH5775 creepingH8318 thing that goethH1980 upon all fourH702, which have legsH3767 aboveH4605 their feetH7272, to leapH5425 withalH2004 upon the earthH776;
Even these of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 after his kindH4327, and the bald locustH5556 after his kindH4327, and the beetleH2728 after his kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after his kindH4327.
But all other flyingH5775 creeping thingsH8318, which have fourH702 feetH7272, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And for these ye shall be uncleanH2930: whosoever touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 of them shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And whosoever bearethH5375 ought of the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
The carcases of every beastH929 which dividethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is not clovenfootedH8157+H8156, nor chewethH5927 the cudH1625, are uncleanH2931 unto you: every one that touchethH5060 them shall be uncleanH2930.
And whatsoeverH3605+H1992 goethH1980 upon his pawsH3709, among all manner of beastsH2416 that goH1980 on all fourH702, those are uncleanH2931 unto you: whoso touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: they are uncleanH2931 unto you.
These also shall be uncleanH2931 unto you among the creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776; the weaselH2467, and the mouseH5909, and the tortoiseH6632 after his kindH4327,
And the ferretH604, and the chameleonH3581, and the lizardH3911, and the snailH2546, and the moleH8580.
These are uncleanH2931 to you among all that creepH8318: whosoever doth touchH5060 them, when they be deadH4194, shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are deadH4194, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be any vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raimentH899, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatsoever vesselH3627 it be, wherein any workH4399 is doneH6213, it must be putH935 into waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153; so it shall be cleansedH2891.
And every earthenH2789 vesselH3627, whereinto any of them fallethH5307+H8432, whatsoever is in it shall be uncleanH2930; and ye shall breakH7665 it.
Of all meatH400 which may be eatenH398, that on which such waterH4325 comethH935 shall be uncleanH2930: and all drinkH4945 that may be drunkH8354 in every such vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930.
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcaseH5038 fallethH5307 shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be ovenH8574, or rangesH3600 for pots, they shall be broken downH5422: for they are uncleanH2931, and shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
Nevertheless a fountainH4599 or pitH953, wherein there is plentyH4723 of waterH4325, shall be cleanH2889: but that which touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930. {wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters}
And if any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 upon any sowingH2221 seedH2233 which is to be sownH2232, it shall be cleanH2889.
But if any waterH4325 be putH5414 upon the seedH2233, and any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 thereon, it shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
And if any beastH929, of which ye may eatH402, dieH4191; he that touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 thereof shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that eatethH398 of the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: he also that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776 shall be an abominationH8263; it shall not be eatenH398.
Whatsoever goethH1980 upon the bellyH1512, and whatsoever goethH1980 upon all fourH702, or whatsoever hath moreH7235 feetH7272 among all creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776, them ye shall not eatH398; for they are an abominationH8263. {hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet}
Ye shall not makeH8262 yourselvesH5315 abominableH8262 with any creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317, neither shall ye make yourselves uncleanH2933 with them, that ye should be defiledH2930 thereby. {yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc}
For I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselvesH6942, and ye shall be holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselvesH5315 with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776.
For I am the LORDH3068 that bringethH5927 you up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: ye shall therefore be holyH6918, for I am holyH6918.
This is the lawH8451 of the beastsH929, and of the fowlH5775, and of every livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movethH7430 in the watersH4325, and of every creatureH5315 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776:
To make a differenceH914 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and between the beastH2416 that may be eatenH398 and the beastH2416 that may not be eatenH398.
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.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, Go yeG4198, and tellG2036 thatG5026 foxG258, BeholdG2400, I cast outG1544 devilsG1140, andG2532 I doG2005 curesG2392 to dayG4594 andG2532 to morrowG839, andG2532 the thirdG5154 day I shall be perfectedG5048.
As a dogH3611 returnethH7725 to his vomitH6892, so a foolH3684 returnethH8138 to his follyH200. {returneth to his folly: Heb. iterateth his folly}
For vainH5014 manH376 would be wiseH3823, though manH120 be bornH3205 like a wild ass'sH6501 coltH5895. {vain: Heb. empty}
BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649 asG5613 sheepG4263 inG1722 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 asG5613 serpentsG3789, andG2532 harmlessG185 asG5613 dovesG4058. {harmless: or, simple}
ButG1161 he that isG5607 an hirelingG3411, andG2532 notG3756 the shepherdG4166, whoseG3739 ownG2398 the sheepG4263 areG1526 notG3756, seethG2334 the wolfG3074 comingG2064, andG2532 leavethG863 the sheepG4263, andG2532 fleethG5343: andG2532 the wolfG3074 catchethG726 themG846, andG2532 scatterethG4650 the sheepG4263.
BeingG1659 thenG1161 made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, ye became the servantsG1402 of righteousnessG1343.
I speakG3004 after the manner of menG442 becauseG1223 of the infirmityG769 of yourG5216 fleshG4561: forG1063 asG5618 ye have yieldedG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to uncleannessG167 andG2532 to iniquityG458 untoG1519 iniquityG458; even soG3779 nowG3568 yieldG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 holinessG38.
ForG1063 whenG3753 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, ye wereG2258 freeG1658 from righteousnessG1343. {from…: Gr. to righteousness}
WhatG5101+G3767 fruitG2590 had yeG2192 thenG5119 inG1909 those things whereofG3739 ye areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? forG1063 the endG5056 of those thingsG1565 is deathG2288.
ButG1161 nowG3570 being made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, andG1161 become servantsG1402 to GodG2316, ye haveG2192 yourG5216 fruitG2590 untoG1519 holinessG38, andG1161 the endG5056 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
And ye shall not walkH3212 in the mannersH2708 of the nationH1471, which I cast outH7971 beforeH6440 you: for they committedH6213 all these things, and therefore I abhorredH6973 them.
But I have saidH559 unto you, Ye shall inheritH3423 their landH127, and I will giveH5414 it unto you to possessH3423 it, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which have separatedH914 you from other peopleH5971.
Ye shall therefore put differenceH914 between cleanH2889 beastsH929 and uncleanH2931, and between uncleanH2931 fowlsH5775 and cleanH2889: and ye shall not make your soulsH5315 abominableH8262 by beastH929, or by fowlH5775, or by any manner of living thing that creepethH7430 on the groundH127, which I have separatedH914 from you as uncleanH2930. {creepeth: or, moveth}
And ye shall be holyH6918 unto me: for I the LORDH3068 am holyH6918, and have severedH914 you from other peopleH5971, that ye should be mine.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
For then will I turnH2015 to the peopleH5971 a pureH1305 languageH8193, that they may all callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him with oneH259 consentH7926. {language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}
And IG2504, ifG1437 I be lifted upG5312 fromG1537 the earthG1093, will drawG1670 allG3956 men untoG4314 meG1683.
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
And NoahH5146 buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068; and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 beastH929, and of every cleanH2889 fowlH5775, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 on the altarH4196.
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band,
A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwayG1275.
He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883.
AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074:
HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG2076 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 oughtestG1163 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 unto CorneliusG2883 was departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of them that waited onG4342 himG846 continuallyG4342;
AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 all these thingsG537 unto themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG2445.
On the morrowG1887, as theyG1565 went on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nighG1448 unto the cityG4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG1430 to prayG4336 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 hourG5610:
AndG1161 he becameG1096 very hungryG4361, andG2532 wouldG2309 have eatenG1089: butG1161 while theyG1565 made readyG3903, heG846 fellG1968 intoG1909 a tranceG1611,
AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093:
WhereinG1722+G3739 wereG5225 all mannerG3956 of fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772.
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825+G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
ThisG5124 was doneG1096 thriceG1909+G5151: andG2532 the vesselG4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 doubtedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG1492 should meanG302+G1498, beholdG2400+G2532, the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon'sG4613 houseG3614, and stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG4440,
AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whichG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, were lodgedG3579 thereG1759.
WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4571.
AriseG450 thereforeG235, and get thee downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG2883; and saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG156 whereforeG1223+G3739 ye are comeG3918?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for theeG4571 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 ofG3844 theeG4675.
ThenG3767 called heG1528 themG846 inG1528, and lodgedG3579 them. AndG1161 on the morrowG1887 PeterG4074 went awayG1831 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 fromG575 JoppaG2445 accompaniedG4905 himG846.
AndG2532 the morrowG1887 after they enteredG1525 intoG1519 CaesareaG2542. AndG1161 CorneliusG2883 waited forG4328 themG846+G2258, and had called togetherG4779 hisG846 kinsmenG4773 andG2532 nearG316 friendsG5384.
AndG1161 asG5613 PeterG4074 wasG1096 coming inG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 himG846, and fell downG4098 atG1909 his feetG4228, and worshippedG4352 him.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444.
AndG2532 as he talkedG4926 with himG846, he went inG1525, andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 that were come togetherG4905.
AndG5037 he saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987 howG5613 that it isG2076 an unlawful thingG111 for a manG435 that is a JewG2453 to keep companyG2853, orG2228 come untoG4334 one of another nationG246; butG2532 GodG2316 hath shewedG1166 meG1698 that I should notG3367 callG3004 anyG3367 manG444 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
ThereforeG1352+G2532 came IG2064 unto you without gainsayingG369, as soon as I was sent forG3343: I askG4441 thereforeG3767 for whatG5101 intentG3056 ye have sent forG3343 meG3165?
AndG2532 CorneliusG2883 saidG5346, FourG5067 daysG2250 agoG575 I wasG2252 fastingG3522 untilG3360 thisG5026 hourG5610; andG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 I prayedG4336 inG1722 myG3450 houseG3624, andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 meG3450 inG1722 brightG2986 clothingG2066,
AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4675 prayerG4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are had in remembranceG3415 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 of one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4671.
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
ButG235 inG1722 everyG3956 nationG1484 he that fearethG5399 himG846, andG2532 workethG2038 righteousnessG1343, isG2076 acceptedG1184 with himG846.
The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
That wordG4487, I say, yeG5210 knowG1492, which was publishedG1096 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449, and beganG756 fromG575 GalileeG1056, afterG3326 the baptismG908 whichG3739 JohnG2491 preachedG2784;
HowG5613 GodG2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG846+G3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 that were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG2316, even to usG2254, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 he commandedG3853 usG2254 to preachG2784 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to testifyG1263 thatG3754 it isG2076 heG846 whichG3588 was ordainedG3724 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be the JudgeG2923 of quickG2198 andG2532 deadG3498.
To himG5129 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266.
While PeterG4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG5023 wordsG4487, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 them which heardG191 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 came withG4905 PeterG4074, becauseG3754 that onG1909 the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speak withG2980 tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074,
CanG3385+G1410 any manG5100 forbidG2967 waterG5204, that theseG5128 shouldG907 notG3361 be baptizedG907, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 asG2532 well asG2531 weG2249?
AndG5037 he commandedG4367 themG846 to be baptizedG907 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. ThenG5119 prayed theyG2065 himG846 to tarryG1961 certainG5100 daysG2250.
NowG1161 as touchingG4012 things offered unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 we allG3956 haveG2192 knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG1108 puffeth upG5448, butG1161 charityG26 edifiethG3618.
AndG1161 if any manG1536 thinkG1380 that he knowethG1492 any thingG5100, he knowethG1097 nothingG3762 yetG3764 asG2531 he oughtG1163 to knowG1097.
ButG1161 if any manG1536 loveG25 GodG2316, the sameG3778 is knownG1097 ofG5259 himG846.
As concerningG4012 thereforeG3767 the eatingG1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noneG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1508 oneG1520.
ForG1063 thoughG1512+G2532 there beG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG1093, (asG5618 there beG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,)
ButG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846. {in: or, for}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}
ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770. {liberty: or, power}
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599?
ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519+G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624.
WhereG3699 there isG1762 neitherG3756 GreekG1672 norG2532 JewG2453, circumcisionG4061 norG2532 uncircumcisionG203, BarbarianG915, ScythianG4658, bondG1401 nor freeG1658: butG235 ChristG5547 is allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559 unto them,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the beastsH2416 which ye shall eatH398 among all the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776.
Whatsoever partethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8156+H8157, and chewethH5927 the cudH1625, among the beastsH929, that shall ye eatH398.
NeverthelessH389 these shall ye not eatH398 of them that chewH5927 the cudH1625, or of them that divideH6536 the hoofH6541: as the camelH1581, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the coneyH8227, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the hareH768, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you.
And the swineH2386, though he divideH6536 the hoofH6541, and be clovenfootedH8156+H8157, yet he chewethH1641 not the cudH1625; he is uncleanH2931 to you.
Of their fleshH1320 shall ye not eatH398, and their carcaseH5038 shall ye not touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 to you.
These shall ye eatH398 of all that are in the watersH4325: whatsoever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, them shall ye eatH398.
And all that have not finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, of all that moveH8318 in the watersH4325, and of any livingH2416 thingH5315 which is in the watersH4325, they shall be an abominationH8263 unto you:
They shall be even an abominationH8263 unto you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, but ye shall have their carcasesH5038 in abominationH8262.
Whatsoever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And these are they which ye shall have in abominationH8262 amongH4480 the fowlsH5775; they shall not be eatenH398, they are an abominationH8263: the eagleH5404, and the ossifrageH6538, and the osprayH5822,
And the vultureH1676, and the kiteH344 after his kindH4327;
Every ravenH6158 after his kindH4327;
And the owlH1323+H3284, and the night hawkH8464, and the cuckowH7828, and the hawkH5322 after his kindH4327,
And the little owlH3563, and the cormorantH7994, and the great owlH3244,
And the swanH8580, and the pelicanH6893, and the gier eagleH7360,
And the storkH2624, the heronH601 after her kindH4327, and the lapwingH1744, and the batH5847.
All fowlsH5775 that creepH8318, goingH1980 upon all fourH702, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
Yet these may ye eatH398 of every flyingH5775 creepingH8318 thing that goethH1980 upon all fourH702, which have legsH3767 aboveH4605 their feetH7272, to leapH5425 withalH2004 upon the earthH776;
Even these of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 after his kindH4327, and the bald locustH5556 after his kindH4327, and the beetleH2728 after his kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after his kindH4327.
But all other flyingH5775 creeping thingsH8318, which have fourH702 feetH7272, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
And for these ye shall be uncleanH2930: whosoever touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 of them shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And whosoever bearethH5375 ought of the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
The carcases of every beastH929 which dividethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is not clovenfootedH8157+H8156, nor chewethH5927 the cudH1625, are uncleanH2931 unto you: every one that touchethH5060 them shall be uncleanH2930.
And whatsoeverH3605+H1992 goethH1980 upon his pawsH3709, among all manner of beastsH2416 that goH1980 on all fourH702, those are uncleanH2931 unto you: whoso touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: they are uncleanH2931 unto you.
These also shall be uncleanH2931 unto you among the creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776; the weaselH2467, and the mouseH5909, and the tortoiseH6632 after his kindH4327,
And the ferretH604, and the chameleonH3581, and the lizardH3911, and the snailH2546, and the moleH8580.
These are uncleanH2931 to you among all that creepH8318: whosoever doth touchH5060 them, when they be deadH4194, shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are deadH4194, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be any vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raimentH899, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatsoever vesselH3627 it be, wherein any workH4399 is doneH6213, it must be putH935 into waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153; so it shall be cleansedH2891.
And every earthenH2789 vesselH3627, whereinto any of them fallethH5307+H8432, whatsoever is in it shall be uncleanH2930; and ye shall breakH7665 it.
Of all meatH400 which may be eatenH398, that on which such waterH4325 comethH935 shall be uncleanH2930: and all drinkH4945 that may be drunkH8354 in every such vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930.
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcaseH5038 fallethH5307 shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be ovenH8574, or rangesH3600 for pots, they shall be broken downH5422: for they are uncleanH2931, and shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
Nevertheless a fountainH4599 or pitH953, wherein there is plentyH4723 of waterH4325, shall be cleanH2889: but that which touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930. {wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters}
And if any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 upon any sowingH2221 seedH2233 which is to be sownH2232, it shall be cleanH2889.
But if any waterH4325 be putH5414 upon the seedH2233, and any part of their carcaseH5038 fallH5307 thereon, it shall be uncleanH2931 unto you.
And if any beastH929, of which ye may eatH402, dieH4191; he that touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 thereof shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that eatethH398 of the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: he also that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776 shall be an abominationH8263; it shall not be eatenH398.
Whatsoever goethH1980 upon the bellyH1512, and whatsoever goethH1980 upon all fourH702, or whatsoever hath moreH7235 feetH7272 among all creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776, them ye shall not eatH398; for they are an abominationH8263. {hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet}
Ye shall not makeH8262 yourselvesH5315 abominableH8262 with any creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317, neither shall ye make yourselves uncleanH2933 with them, that ye should be defiledH2930 thereby. {yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc}
For I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselvesH6942, and ye shall be holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselvesH5315 with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776.
For I am the LORDH3068 that bringethH5927 you up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: ye shall therefore be holyH6918, for I am holyH6918.
This is the lawH8451 of the beastsH929, and of the fowlH5775, and of every livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movethH7430 in the watersH4325, and of every creatureH5315 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776:
To make a differenceH914 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and between the beastH2416 that may be eatenH398 and the beastH2416 that may not be eatenH398.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
NowG1161 as touchingG4012 things offered unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 we allG3956 haveG2192 knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG1108 puffeth upG5448, butG1161 charityG26 edifiethG3618.
AndG1161 if any manG1536 thinkG1380 that he knowethG1492 any thingG5100, he knowethG1097 nothingG3762 yetG3764 asG2531 he oughtG1163 to knowG1097.
ButG1161 if any manG1536 loveG25 GodG2316, the sameG3778 is knownG1097 ofG5259 himG846.
As concerningG4012 thereforeG3767 the eatingG1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noneG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1508 oneG1520.
ForG1063 thoughG1512+G2532 there beG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG1093, (asG5618 there beG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,)
ButG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846. {in: or, for}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}
ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770. {liberty: or, power}
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599?
ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519+G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624.
Stand fastG4739 thereforeG3767 in the libertyG1657 wherewithG3739 ChristG5547 hath madeG1659 usG2248 freeG1659, andG2532 beG1758 notG3361 entangledG1758 againG3825 with the yokeG2218 of bondageG1397.
ForG1063, brethrenG80, yeG5210 have been calledG2564 untoG1909 libertyG1657; onlyG3440 use notG3361 libertyG1657 forG1519 an occasionG874 to the fleshG4561, butG235 byG1223 loveG26 serveG1398 one anotherG240.
