ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 directG2720 yourG5216 heartsG2588 intoG1519 the loveG26 of GodG2316, andG2532 intoG1519 the patient waitingG5281 for ChristG5547. {patient…: or, patience of Christ}
MarthaG3136 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 he shall rise againG450 inG1722 the resurrectionG386 atG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250.
ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall sayG3004, PeaceG1515 andG2532 safetyG803; thenG5119 suddenG160 destructionG3639 cometh uponG2186 themG846, asG5618 travailG5604 uponG1722 a woman with childG1064+G2192; andG2532 they shallG1628 notG3364 escapeG1628.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 himG846 isG2919 notG3756 condemnedG2919: butG1161 he that believethG4100 notG3361 is condemnedG2919 alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he hathG4100 notG3361 believedG4100 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the only begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is ourG2257 hopeG1680, orG2228 joyG5479, orG2228 crownG4735 of rejoicingG2746+G2228? Are notG3780 evenG2532 yeG5210 in the presenceG1715 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952? {rejoicing: or, glorying}
AndG1161 the LordG2962 makeG4121 youG5209 to increaseG4121 andG2532 aboundG4052 in loveG26 oneG240 towardG1519 anotherG240, andG2532 towardG1519 allG3956 men, evenG2532 asG2509 weG2249 do towardG1519 youG5209:
To the endG1519 he may stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588 unblameableG273 inG1722 holinessG42 beforeG1715 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, atG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 withG3326 allG3956 hisG846 saintsG40. {saints: or, holy ones, or, angels}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG1161 the veryG846 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 sanctifyG37 youG5209 whollyG3651; andG2532 I pray God yourG5216 wholeG3648 spiritG4151 andG2532 soulG5590 andG2532 bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 blamelessG274 untoG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall appearG5316 the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of manG444 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 thenG5119 shallG2875 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 mournG2875, andG2532 they shall seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1909 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 hisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 a greatG3173 soundG5456 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 they shall gather togetherG1996 hisG846 electG1588 fromG1537 the fourG5064 windsG417, fromG575 one endG206 of heavenG3772 toG2193 the otherG206+G846. {with…: or, with a trumpet, and a great voice}
ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likenedG3666 unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, and went forthG1831 to meetG529+G1519 the bridegroomG3566.
LetG2077 yourG5216 loinsG3751 beG2077 girded aboutG4024, andG2532 your lightsG3088 burningG2545;
AndG2532 ye yourselvesG5210 likeG3664 unto menG444 that waitG4327 for theirG1438 lordG2962, whenG4219 he will returnG360 fromG1537 the weddingG1062; thatG2443 when he comethG2064 andG2532 knockethG2925, they may openG455 unto himG846 immediatelyG2112.
BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servantsG1401, whomG3739 the lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127: verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 he shall gird himselfG4024, andG2532 makeG347 themG846 to sit down to meatG347, andG2532 will come forthG3928 and serveG1247 themG846.
AndG2532 ifG1437 he shall comeG2064 inG1722 the secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2532 comeG2064 inG1722 the thirdG5154 watchG5438, andG2532 findG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 areG1526 thoseG1565 servantsG1401.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 the disciplesG3101, The daysG2250 will comeG2064, whenG3753 ye shall desireG1937 to seeG1492 oneG3391 of the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of manG444, andG2532 ye shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 it.
AndG2532 they shall sayG2046 to youG5213, SeeG2400 hereG5602; orG2228, seeG2400 thereG1563: goG565 notG3361 afterG565 them, norG3366 followG1377 them.
ForG1063 asG5618 the lightningG796, that lightenethG797 out ofG1537 the one part underG5259 heavenG3772, shinethG2989 untoG1519 the other part underG5259 heavenG3772; soG3779 shall alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 inG1722 hisG846 dayG2250.
ButG1161 firstG4412 mustG1163 heG846 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183, andG2532 be rejectedG593 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074.
AndG2532 asG2531 it wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoeG3575, soG3779 shall it beG2071 alsoG2532 inG1722 the daysG2250 of the SonG5207 of manG444.
They did eatG2068, they drankG4095, they married wivesG1060, they were given in marriageG1547, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 NoeG3575 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the arkG2787, andG2532 the floodG2627 cameG2064, andG2532 destroyedG622 them allG537.
LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 asG5613 it wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of LotG3091; they did eatG2068, they drankG4095, they boughtG59, they soldG4453, they plantedG5452, they buildedG3618;
ButG3739+G1161 the same dayG2250 that LotG3091 wentG1831 out ofG575 SodomG4670 it rainedG1026 fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 destroyedG622 them allG537.
EvenG2596 thusG5024 shall it beG2071 in the dayG3739+G2250 when the SonG5207 of manG444 is revealedG601.
InG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250, he whichG3739 shall beG2071 uponG1909 the housetopG1430, andG2532 hisG846 stuffG4632 inG1722 the houseG3614, letG2597 him notG3361 come downG2597 to takeG142 itG846 awayG142: andG2532 he that is inG1722 the fieldG68, let himG1994 likewiseG3668 notG3361 returnG1994 backG1519+G3694.
RememberG3421 Lot'sG3091 wifeG1135.
WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall seekG2212 to saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846; andG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall loseG622 hisG846 life shall preserveG2225 itG846.
I tellG3004 youG5213, in thatG5026 nightG3571 there shall beG2071 twoG1417 men inG1909 oneG3391 bedG2825; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG2087 shall be leftG863.
TwoG1417 women shall beG2071 grindingG229 togetherG846+G1909; the oneG3391 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG2087 leftG863.
TwoG1417 men shall beG2071 inG1722 the fieldG68; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG2087 leftG863. {this verse is not found in most of the Greek copies}
Men'sG444 hearts failing themG674 forG575 fearG5401, andG2532 for looking afterG4329 those things which are coming onG1904 the earthG3625: forG1063 the powersG1411 of heavenG3772 shall be shakenG4531.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall they seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1722 a cloudG3507 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.
AndG1161 when these thingsG5130 beginG756 to come to passG1096, then look upG352, andG2532 lift upG1869 yourG5216 headsG2776; forG1360 yourG5216 redemptionG629 draweth nighG1448.
AndG2532 he spakeG2036 to themG846 a parableG3850; BeholdG1492 the fig treeG4808, andG2532 allG3956 the treesG1186;
WhenG3752 they nowG2235 shoot forthG4261, ye seeG991 and knowG1097 ofG575 your own selvesG1438 thatG3754 summerG2330 isG2076 nowG2235 nigh at handG1451.
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye seeG1492 these thingsG5023 come to passG1096, know yeG1097 thatG3754 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 nigh at handG1451.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, ThisG3778 generationG1074 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928+G302, tillG2193 allG3956 be fulfilledG1096.
HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 shall pass awayG3928: butG1161 myG3450 wordsG3056 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928.
AndG1161 take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438, lest at any timeG3379 yourG5216 heartsG2588 be overchargedG925 withG1722 surfeitingG2897, andG2532 drunkennessG3178, andG2532 caresG3308 of this lifeG982, andG2532 so thatG1565 dayG2250 comeG2186 uponG1909 youG5209 unawaresG160.
ForG1063 asG5613 a snareG3803 shall it comeG1904 onG1909 allG3956 them that dwellG2521 onG1909 the faceG4383 of the wholeG3956 earthG1093.
Watch yeG69 thereforeG3767, and prayG1189 alwaysG1722+G3956+G2540, thatG2443 ye may be accounted worthyG2661 to escapeG1628 allG3956 these thingsG5023 that shallG3195 come to passG1096, andG2532 to standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of manG444.
LetG5015 notG3361 yourG5216 heartG2588 be troubledG5015: ye believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316, believeG4100 alsoG2532 inG1519 meG1691.
InG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 houseG3614 areG1526 manyG4183 mansionsG3438: if it were notG1490 so, I would have toldG302+G2036 youG5213. I goG4198 to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213.
AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213, I will comeG2064 againG3825, andG2532 receiveG3880 youG5209 untoG4314 myselfG1683; thatG2443 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, there yeG5210 may beG5600 alsoG2532.
AndG2532 whileG5613 they looked stedfastlyG2258+G816 towardG1519 heavenG3772 as heG846 went upG4198+G2532, beholdG2400, twoG1417 menG435 stood byG3936 themG846 inG1722 whiteG3022 apparelG2066;
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 saidG2036, Ye menG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 stand yeG2476 gazing upG1689 intoG1519 heavenG3772? this sameG3778 JesusG2424, whichG3588 is taken upG353 fromG575 youG5216 intoG1519 heavenG3772, shallG2064 soG3779 comeG2064 in like manner asG3739+G5158 ye have seenG2300 himG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
BeholdG2400, I shewG3004 youG5213 a mysteryG3466; We shallG2837 notG3756 allG3956+G3303 sleepG2837, butG1161 we shallG236 allG3956 be changedG236,
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
Even asG2531 the testimonyG3142 of ChristG5547 was confirmedG950 inG1722 youG5213:
So thatG5620 yeG5209 come behindG5302 inG1722 noG3361+G3367 giftG5486; waiting forG553 the comingG602 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {coming: Gr. revelation}
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which before was preachedG4296 unto youG5213:
WhomG3739 the heavenG3772+G3303 mustG1163 receiveG1209 untilG891 the timesG5550 of restitutionG605 of all thingsG3956, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath spokenG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of allG3956 hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396 sinceG575 the world beganG165.
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1511 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424.
AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.
AndG1161 the brethrenG80 immediatelyG2112 sent awayG1599+G5037 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 byG1223 nightG3571 untoG1519 BereaG960: whoG3748 comingG3854 thither wentG549 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
ThereforeG3767+G3303 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 believedG4100; alsoG2532 of honourableG2158 womenG1135 whichG3588 were GreeksG1674, andG2532 of menG435, notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 whenG5613 the JewsG2453 ofG575 ThessalonicaG2332 had knowledgeG1097 thatG3754+G2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 was preachedG2605 ofG5259 PaulG3972 atG1722 BereaG960, they cameG2064 thither alsoG2546, and stirred upG4531 the peopleG3793.
AndG1161 thenG5119 immediatelyG2112 the brethrenG80 sent awayG1821 PaulG3972 to goG4198 as it wereG5613 toG1909 the seaG2281: butG1161+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 abodeG5278 thereG1563 stillG5278.
AndG1161 they that conductedG2525 PaulG3972 broughtG71 himG846 untoG2193 AthensG116: andG2532 receivingG2983 a commandmentG1785 untoG4314 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 for toG2443 comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 with all speedG5613+G5033, they departedG1826.
NowG1161 while PaulG3972 waited forG1551 themG846 atG1722 AthensG116, hisG846 spiritG4151 was stirredG3947 inG1722 himG846, when he sawG2334 the cityG4172 wholly givenG5607 to idolatryG2712. {wholly…: or, full of idols}
ThereforeG3767+G3303 disputed heG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, andG2532 with the devout personsG4576, andG2532 inG1722 the marketG58 dailyG2596+G3956+G2250 withG4314 them that met with himG3909.
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
AndG5037 they tookG1949 himG846, and brought himG71 untoG1909 AreopagusG697, sayingG3004, MayG1410 we knowG1097 whatG5101 thisG3778 newG2537 doctrineG1322, whereofG5259 thouG4675 speakestG2980, is? {Areopagus: or, Mars-hill: it was the highest court in Athens}
ForG1063 thou bringestG1533 certainG5100 strange thingsG3579 toG1519 ourG2257 earsG189: we wouldG1014 knowG1097 thereforeG3767 whatG5101 these thingsG5023 meanG302+G2309+G1511.
(ForG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 strangersG3581 whichG3588 were thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 inG1519 nothingG3762 elseG2087, but eitherG2228 to tellG3004, orG2532 to hearG191 someG5100 new thingG2537.)
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of Mars' hillG697, and saidG5346, Ye menG435 of AthensG117, I perceiveG2334 thatG5613 inG2596 all thingsG3956 yeG5209 are too superstitiousG1174. {Mars' hill: or, court of the Areopagites}
ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG5216 devotionsG4574+G2532, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG1722+G3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG5126 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG5213. {devotions: or, gods that ye worship}
GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG1722+G846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499;
NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men'sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2596 all thingsG3956;
AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3734 of theirG846 habitationG2733;
That they should seekG2212 the LordG2962, ifG1487 haplyG686 they might feelG5584 after himG846, andG2532 find himG2147, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257:
ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG2070; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 of yourG5209 ownG2596 poetsG4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG2070 alsoG2532 hisG5120 offspringG1085.
Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to thinkG3543 that the GodheadG2304 isG1511 likeG3664 unto goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man'sG444 deviceG1761.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
AndG1161 when they heardG191 of the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3303 mockedG5512: andG1161 others saidG2036, We will hearG191 theeG4675 againG3825 ofG4012 thisG5127 matter.
SoG2532+G3779 PaulG3972 departedG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846.
HowbeitG1161 certainG5100 menG435 claveG2853 unto himG846, and believedG4100: amongG1722 the whichG3739+G2532 was DionysiusG1354 the AreopagiteG698, andG2532 a womanG1135 namedG3686 DamarisG1152, andG2532 othersG2087 withG4862 themG846.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
WhoseG3739 endG5056 is destructionG684, whoseG3739 GodG2316 is their bellyG2836, andG2532 whose gloryG1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG152, whoG3588 mindG5426 earthly thingsG1919.)
ForG1063 ourG2257 conversationG4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772; fromG1537 whenceG3739 alsoG2532 we look forG553 the SaviourG4990, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {conversation…: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}
WhoG3739 shall changeG3345 ourG2257 vileG5014 bodyG4983, thatG1519 itG846 may beG1096 fashioned like untoG4832 hisG846 gloriousG1391 bodyG4983, according toG2596 the workingG1753 whereby heG846 is ableG1410 evenG2532 to subdueG5293 all thingsG3956 unto himselfG1438.
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
Set your affectionG5426 on things aboveG507, notG3361 on things onG1909 the earthG1093. {affection: or, mind}
ForG1063 ye are deadG599, andG2532 yourG5216 lifeG2222 is hidG2928 withG4862 ChristG5547 inG1722 GodG2316.
WhenG3752 ChristG5547, who is ourG2257 lifeG2222, shall appearG5319, thenG5119 shallG5319 yeG5210 alsoG2532 appearG5319 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
BeG3114 yeG5210 alsoG2532 patientG3114; stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 draweth nighG1448.
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
WhereforeG1352 gird upG328 the loinsG3751 of yourG5216 mindG1271, be soberG3525, and hopeG1679 to the endG5049 forG1909 the graceG5485 that is to be broughtG5342 unto youG5213 atG1722 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, these thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto youG5213, thatG3363 ye sinG264 notG3363. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG2257 sinsG266: andG1161 notG3756 forG4012 oursG2251 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 forG4012 the sins of the wholeG3650 worldG2889.
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we do knowG1097 thatG3754 we knowG1097 himG846, ifG1437 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785.
He that saithG3004, I knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 keepethG5083 notG3361 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the truthG225 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG5129.
ButG1161 whosoG3739 keepethG302+G5083 hisG846 wordG3056, inG1722 himG5129 verilyG230 isG5048 the loveG26 of GodG2316 perfectedG5048: herebyG1722+G5129 know weG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 inG1722 himG846.
He that saithG3004 he abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 oughtG3784 himselfG846 alsoG2532 soG3779 to walkG4043, even asG2531 heG1565 walkedG4043.
BrethrenG80, I writeG1125 noG3756 newG2537 commandmentG1785 unto youG5213, butG235 an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 ye hadG2192 fromG575 the beginningG746. The oldG3820 commandmentG1785 isG2076 the wordG3056 whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746.
AgainG3825, a newG2537 commandmentG1785 I writeG1125 unto youG5213, which thingG3739 isG2076 trueG227 inG1722 himG846 andG2532 inG1722 youG5213: becauseG3754 the darknessG4653 is pastG3855, andG2532 the trueG228 lightG5457 nowG2235 shinethG5316.
He that saithG3004 he isG1511 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80, isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653 even untilG2193 nowG737.
He that lovethG25 hisG846 brotherG80 abidethG3306 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 there isG2076 noneG3756 occasion of stumblingG4625 inG1722 himG846. {occasion…: Gr. scandall}
ButG1161 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80 isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 he goethG5217, becauseG3754 that darknessG4653 hath blindedG5186 hisG846 eyesG3788.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG5040, becauseG3754 your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 youG5213 forG1223 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG1223.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG3813, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 the FatherG3962.
I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye areG2075 strongG2478, andG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190.
LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG2889, neitherG3366 the things that are inG1722 the worldG2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG846.
ForG3754 allG3956 that is inG1722 the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, andG2532 the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, andG2532 the prideG212 of lifeG979, isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3962, butG235 isG2076 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 the worldG2889 passeth awayG3855, andG2532 the lustG1939 thereofG846: butG1161 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
Little childrenG3813, it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610.
They went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257, butG235 they wereG2258 notG3756 ofG1537 usG2257; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG2258 ofG1537 usG2257, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG2257: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1526 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG2257.
ButG2532 yeG5210 haveG2192 an unctionG5545 fromG575 the Holy OneG40, andG2532 ye knowG1492 all thingsG3956.
I haveG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 unto youG5213 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 the truthG225, butG235 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 itG846, andG2532 thatG3754 noG3956+G3756 lieG5579 isG2076 ofG1537 the truthG225.
WhoG5101 isG2076 a liarG5583 butG1508 he that deniethG720 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076+G3756 the ChristG5547? HeG3778 isG2076 antichristG500, that deniethG720 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the SonG5207.
WhosoeverG3956 deniethG720 the SonG5207, the same hathG2192 notG3761 the FatherG3962: (but) he that acknowledgethG3670 the SonG5207 hathG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
LetG3306 that thereforeG3767 abideG3306 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 yeG5210 have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. IfG1437 that whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746 shall remainG3306 inG1722 youG5213, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall continueG3306 inG1722 the SonG5207, andG2532 inG1722 the FatherG3962.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the promiseG1860 thatG3739 heG846 hath promisedG1861 usG2254, even eternalG166 lifeG2222.
TheseG5023 things have I writtenG1125 unto youG5213 concerningG4012 them that seduceG4105 youG5209.
ButG2532 the anointingG5545 whichG3739 yeG5210 have receivedG2983 ofG575 himG846 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye needG5532+G2192 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 teachG1321 youG5209: butG235 asG5613 the sameG846 anointingG5545 teachethG1321 youG5209 ofG4012 all thingsG3956, andG2532 isG2076 truthG227, andG2532 isG2076 noG3756 lieG5579, andG2532 even asG2531 it hath taughtG1321 youG5209, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 himG846. {in him: or, in it}
AndG2532 nowG3568, little childrenG5040, abideG3306 inG1722 himG846; thatG2443, whenG3752 he shall appearG5319, we may haveG2192 confidenceG3954, andG2532 notG3361 be ashamedG153 beforeG575 himG846 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
IfG1437 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 he isG2076 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 every oneG3956 that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 is bornG1080 ofG1537 himG846. {ye know that every: or, know ye…}
BeholdG1492, what mannerG4217 of loveG26 the FatherG3962 hath bestowedG1325 upon usG2254, thatG2443 we should be calledG2564 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316: thereforeG1223+G5124 the worldG2889 knowethG1097 usG2248 notG3756, becauseG3754 it knewG1097 himG846 notG3756.
BelovedG27, nowG3568 are weG2070 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, andG2532 it dothG5319 not yetG3768 appearG5319 whatG5101 we shall beG2071: butG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754, whenG1437 he shall appearG5319, we shall beG2071 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 we shall seeG3700 himG846 asG2531 he isG2076.
AndG2532 every manG3956 that hathG2192 thisG5026 hopeG1680 inG1909 himG846 purifiethG48 himselfG1438, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 pureG53.
AndG1161 EnochG1802 alsoG2532, the seventhG1442 fromG575 AdamG76, prophesiedG4395 of theseG5125, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the LordG2962 comethG2064 withG1722 ten thousandsG3461 of hisG846 saintsG40,
