AsG2531 I besoughtG3870 theeG4571 to abide stillG4357 atG1722 EphesusG2181, when I wentG4198 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, thatG2443 thou mightest chargeG3853 someG5100 that they teachG2085 noG3361 other doctrineG2085,
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 the author of confusionG181, butG235 of peaceG1515, asG5613 inG1722 allG3956 churchesG1577 of the saintsG40. {confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}
NowG1161 ifG1437 TimotheusG5095 comeG2064, seeG991 thatG2443 he may beG1096 withG4314 youG5209 without fearG870: forG1063 he workethG2038 the workG2041 of the LordG2962, asG5613 IG1473 alsoG2532 do.
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
AccordingG2596 to the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 unto meG3427, asG5613 a wiseG4680 masterbuilderG753, I have laidG5087 the foundationG2310, andG1161 anotherG243 buildethG2026 thereon. ButG1161 letG991 every manG1538 take heedG991 howG4459 he buildethG2026 thereupon.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
ThatG2443 I may be deliveredG4506 fromG575 them that do not believeG544 inG1722 JudaeaG2449; andG2532 thatG2443 myG3450 serviceG1248 whichG3588 I have forG1519 JerusalemG2419 may beG1096 acceptedG2144 of the saintsG40; {do not…: or, are disobedient}
I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, (ye knowG1492 the houseG3614 of StephanasG4734, thatG3754 it isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882, andG2532 that they have addictedG5021 themselvesG1438 toG1519 the ministryG1248 of the saintsG40,)
OnlyG3441 LukeG3065 isG2076 withG3326 meG1700. TakeG353 MarkG3138, and bring himG71 withG3326 theeG4572: forG1063 he isG2076 profitableG2173 to meG3427 forG1519 the ministryG1248.
Are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151, sent forthG649 toG1519 ministerG1248 forG1223 them who shallG3195 be heirs ofG2816 salvationG4991?
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
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.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
If anyG1536 beG2076 blamelessG410, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, havingG2192 faithfulG4103 childrenG5043 notG3361 accusedG1722+G2724 of riotG810 orG2228 unrulyG506.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
WhereforeG1355, myG3450 dearly belovedG27, fleeG5343 fromG575 idolatryG1495.
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
Hold fastG2192 the formG5296 of soundG5198 wordsG3056, whichG3739 thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700, inG1722 faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
That good thingG2570 which was committed unto theeG3872 keepG5442 byG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 whichG3588 dwellethG1774 inG1722 usG2254.
ForG1063 there areG1526 manyG4183 unrulyG506 andG2532 vain talkersG3151 andG2532 deceiversG5423, speciallyG3122 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061:
ButG1161 as touchingG4012 the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, have yeG314 notG3756 readG314 that whichG3588 was spokenG4483 unto youG5213 byG5259 GodG2316, sayingG3004,
IG1473 amG1510 the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 the GodG2316 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 the GodG2316 of JacobG2384? GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 the GodG2316 of the deadG3498, butG235 of the livingG2198.
AndG2532 when the multitudeG3793 heardG191 this, they were astonishedG1605 atG1909 hisG846 doctrineG1322.
ButG1161 when the PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 thatG3754 he had putG5392 the SadduceesG4523 to silenceG5392, they were gathered togetherG4863+G1909+G846.
If any manG1536 teach otherwiseG2085, andG2532 consentG4334 notG3361 to wholesomeG5198 wordsG3056, even the words of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 to the doctrineG1319 which is accordingG2596 to godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
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.
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.
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
