This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
IfG1487 he calledG2036 themG1565 godsG2316, untoG4314 whomG3739 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 cameG1096, andG2532 the scriptureG1124 cannotG3756+G1410 be brokenG3089;
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, boldnessG3954 toG1519 enterG1529 into the holiestG39 byG1722 the bloodG129 of JesusG2424, {boldness: or, liberty}
By a newG4372 andG2532 livingG2198 wayG3598, whichG3739 he hath consecratedG1457 for usG2254, throughG1223 the veilG2665, that is to sayG5123, hisG846 fleshG4561; {consecrated: or, new made}
AndG2532 having an highG3173 priestG2409 overG1909 the houseG3624 of GodG2316;
Let us draw nearG4334 withG3326 a trueG228 heartG2588 inG1722 full assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, havingG4472 our heartsG2588 sprinkledG4472 fromG575 an evilG4190 conscienceG4893, andG2532 our bodiesG4983 washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204.
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, boldnessG3954 toG1519 enterG1529 into the holiestG39 byG1722 the bloodG129 of JesusG2424, {boldness: or, liberty}
By a newG4372 andG2532 livingG2198 wayG3598, whichG3739 he hath consecratedG1457 for usG2254, throughG1223 the veilG2665, that is to sayG5123, hisG846 fleshG4561; {consecrated: or, new made}
AndG2532 having an highG3173 priestG2409 overG1909 the houseG3624 of GodG2316;
Let us draw nearG4334 withG3326 a trueG228 heartG2588 inG1722 full assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, havingG4472 our heartsG2588 sprinkledG4472 fromG575 an evilG4190 conscienceG4893, andG2532 our bodiesG4983 washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
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.
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.
PaulG3972 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to allG3956 the saintsG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 which areG5607 atG1722 PhilippiG5375, withG4862 the bishopsG1985 andG2532 deaconsG1249:
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
IfG1487 he calledG2036 themG1565 godsG2316, untoG4314 whomG3739 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 cameG1096, andG2532 the scriptureG1124 cannotG3756+G1410 be brokenG3089;
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 upon the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Thou sealest upH2856 the sumH8508, fullH4392 of wisdomH2451, and perfectH3632 in beautyH3308.
Thou hast been in EdenH5731 the gardenH1588 of GodH430; every preciousH3368 stoneH68 was thy coveringH4540, the sardiusH124, topazH6357, and the diamondH3095, the berylH8658, the onyxH7718, and the jasperH3471, the sapphireH5601, the emeraldH5306, and the carbuncleH1304, and goldH2091: the workmanshipH4399 of thy tabretsH8596 and of thy pipesH5345 was preparedH3559 in thee in the dayH3117 that thou wast createdH1254. {sardius: or, ruby} {beryl: or, chrysolite} {emerald: or, chrysoprase}
Thou art the anointedH4473 cherubH3742 that coverethH5526; and I have setH5414 thee so: thou wast upon the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of GodH430; thou hast walked up and downH1980 in the midstH8432 of the stonesH68 of fireH784.
Thou wast perfectH8549 in thy waysH1870 from the dayH3117 that thou wast createdH1254, till iniquityH5766 was foundH4672 in thee.
By the multitudeH7230 of thy merchandiseH7404 they have filledH4390 the midstH8432 of thee with violenceH2555, and thou hast sinnedH2398: therefore I will cast thee as profaneH2490 out of the mountainH2022 of GodH430: and I will destroyH6 thee, O coveringH5526 cherubH3742, from the midstH8432 of the stonesH68 of fireH784.
Thine heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 because of thy beautyH3308, thou hast corruptedH7843 thy wisdomH2451 by reason ofH5921 thy brightnessH3314: I will castH7993 thee to the groundH776, I will layH5414 thee beforeH6440 kingsH4428, that they may beholdH7200 thee.
Thou hast defiledH2490 thy sanctuariesH4720 by the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquitiesH5771, by the iniquityH5766 of thy traffickH7404; therefore will I bring forthH3318 a fireH784 from the midstH8432 of thee, it shall devourH398 thee, and I will bringH5414 thee to ashesH665 upon the earthH776 in the sightH5869 of all them that beholdH7200 thee.
All they that knowH3045 thee among the peopleH5971 shall be astonishedH8074 at thee: thou shalt be a terrorH1091, and neverH369 shalt thou be any moreH5704+H5769. {a terror: Heb. terrors}
