AmaziahH558 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddanH3086 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdomH4467 was establishedH2388 to him, that he slewH2026 his servantsH5650 that had killedH5221 the kingH4428 his fatherH1. {established…: Heb. confirmed upon him}
But he slewH4191 not their childrenH1121, but did as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872, where the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, The fathersH1 shall not dieH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 dieH4191 for the fathersH1, but every manH376 shall dieH4191 for his own sinH2399.
Moreover AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 JudahH3063 togetherH6908, and madeH5975 them captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, according to the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, throughout all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: and he numberedH6485 them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, and foundH4672 them threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 choiceH977 men, able to go forthH3318 to warH6635, that could handleH270 spearH7420 and shieldH6793.
He hiredH7936 also an hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 men of valourH2428 out of IsraelH3478 for an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701.
But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
But if thou wilt goH935, doH6213 it, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast downH3782.
And AmaziahH558 saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we doH6213 for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414 to the armyH1416 of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 isH3426 able to giveH5414 thee much moreH7235 than this. {army: Heb. band}
Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639. {home again: Heb. to their place} {in great…: Heb. in heat of anger}
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
But the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 which AmaziahH558 sent backH7725, that they should not goH3212 with him to battleH4421, fellH6584 upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH961. {the soldiers…: Heb. the sons of the band}
Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them.
Wherefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, which saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which could not deliverH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thine handH3027?
And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the king saidH559 unto him, Art thou madeH5414 of the king'sH4428 counselH3289? forbearH2308; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determinedH3289 to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast not hearkenedH8085 unto my counselH6098. {determined: Heb. counselled}
Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took adviceH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us see one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440.
And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistleH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passed byH5674 a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844, and trode downH7429 the thistleH2336. {thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild…: Heb. a beast of the field}
Thou sayestH559, Lo, thou hast smittenH5221 the EdomitesH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boastH3513: abideH3427 now at homeH1004; why shouldest thou meddleH1624 to thine hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?
But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085; for it came of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemies, because they soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of EdomH123.
So JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927; and they saw one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440, both he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at BethshemeshH1053, which belongeth to JudahH3063.
And JudahH3063 was put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and they fledH5127 every manH376 to his tentH168. {put…: Heb. smitten}
And JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at BethshemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the cornerH6437 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. {the corner…: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}
And he took all the goldH2091 and the silverH3701, and all the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with ObededomH5654, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH1121+H8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478?
Now after the timeH6256 that AmaziahH558 did turn awayH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068 they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971 to LachishH3923 afterH310 him, and slewH4191 him there. {from…: Heb. from after} {made…: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
And they broughtH5375 him upon horsesH5483, and buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of JudahH3063. {Judah: that is, the city of David}
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the sonH1121 of AhasuerusH325, of the seedH2233 of the MedesH4074, which was made kingH4427 over the realmH4438 of the ChaldeansH3778; {which: or, in which he}
In the firstH259 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 I DanielH1840 understoodH995 by booksH5612 the numberH4557 of the yearsH8141, whereof the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, that he would accomplishH4390 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 in the desolationsH2723 of JerusalemH3389.
And I setH5414 my faceH6440 unto the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, and sackclothH8242, and ashesH665:
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
And now, O LordH136 our GodH430, that hast broughtH3318 thy peopleH5971 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and hast gottenH6213 thee renownH8034, as at this dayH3117; we have sinnedH2398, we have done wickedlyH7561. {gotten…: Heb. made thee a name}
O LordH136, according to all thy righteousnessH6666, I beseech thee, let thine angerH639 and thy furyH2534 be turned awayH7725 from thy cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, thy holyH6944 mountainH2022: because for our sinsH2399, and for the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and thy peopleH5971 are become a reproachH2781 to all that are aboutH5439 us.
Now therefore, O our GodH430, hearH8085 the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and his supplicationsH8469, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy sanctuaryH4720 that is desolateH8076, for the Lord'sH136 sake.
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
O LordH136, hearH8085; O LordH136, forgiveH5545; O LordH136, hearkenH7181 and doH6213; deferH309 notH408, for thine own sake, O my GodH430: for thy cityH5892 and thy peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
And whiles I was speakingH1696, and prayingH6419, and confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and presentingH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 for the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430;
Yea, whiles I was speakingH1696 in prayerH8605, even the manH376 GabrielH1403, whom I had seenH7200 in the visionH2377 at the beginningH8462, being caused to flyH3286 swiftlyH3288, touchedH5060 me about the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153 oblationH4503. {swiftly: Heb. with weariness, or, flight}
And he informedH995 me, and talkedH1696 with me, and saidH559, O DanielH1840, I am now come forthH3318 to give thee skillH7919 and understandingH998. {to…: Heb. to make thee skilful of}
At the beginningH8462 of thy supplicationsH8469 the commandmentH1697 came forthH3318, and I am comeH935 to shewH5046 thee; for thou art greatly belovedH2532: therefore understandH995 the matterH1697, and considerH995 the visionH4758. {commandment: Heb. word} {greatly…: Heb. a man of desires}
SeventyH7657 weeksH7620 are determinedH2852 upon thy peopleH5971 and upon thy holyH6944 cityH5892, to finishH3607 the transgressionH6588, and to make an endH8552+H2856 of sinsH2403, and to make reconciliationH3722 for iniquityH5771, and to bring inH935 everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, and to seal upH2856 the visionH2377 and prophecyH5030, and to anointH4886 the mostH6944 HolyH6944. {finish: or, restrain} {make an…: or, seal up} {prophecy: Heb. prophet}
KnowH3045 therefore and understandH7919, that from the going forthH4161 of the commandmentH1697 to restoreH7725 and to buildH1129 JerusalemH3389 unto the MessiahH4899 the PrinceH5057 shall be sevenH7651 weeksH7620, and threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 weeksH7620: the streetH7339 shall be builtH1129 againH7725, and the wallH2742, even in troublousH6695 timesH6256. {be built…: Heb. return and be built} {wall: or, breach, or, ditch} {troublous: Heb. strait of}
And afterH310 threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 weeksH7620 shall MessiahH4899 be cut offH3772, but not for himself: and the peopleH5971 of the princeH5057 that shall comeH935 shall destroyH7843 the cityH5892 and the sanctuaryH6944; and the endH7093 thereof shall be with a floodH7858, and unto the endH7093 of the warH4421 desolationsH8074 are determinedH2782. {but…: or, and shall have nothing} {desolations…: or, it shall be cut off by desolations}
And he shall confirmH1396 the covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620: and in the midstH2677 of the weekH7620 he shall cause the sacrificeH2077 and the oblationH4503 to ceaseH7673, and for the overspreadingH3671 of abominationsH8251 he shall make it desolateH8074, even until the consummationH3617, and that determinedH2782 shall be pouredH5413 upon the desolateH8074. {the covenant: or, a covenant} {for the…: or, with the abominable armies} {the desolate: or, the desolator}
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.
AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, PraiseG134 ourG2257 GodG2316, all yeG3956 hisG846 servantsG1401, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 himG846, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.
Let us be gladG5463 andG2532 rejoiceG21, andG2532 giveG1325 honourG1391 to himG846: forG3754 the marriageG1062 of the LambG721 is comeG2064, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 hath madeG2090 herselfG1438 readyG2090.
AndG2532 to herG846 was grantedG1325 thatG2443 she should be arrayedG4016 in fine linenG1039, cleanG2513 andG2532 whiteG2986: forG1063 the fine linenG1039 isG2076 the righteousnessG1345 of saintsG40. {white: or, bright}
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, WriteG1125, BlessedG3107 are they which are calledG2564 untoG1519 the marriageG1062 supperG1173 of the LambG721. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, TheseG3778 areG1526 the trueG228 sayingsG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 that haveG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424: worshipG4352 GodG2316: forG1063 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG2076 the spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 horseG2462; andG2532 he that satG2521 uponG1909 himG846 was calledG2564 FaithfulG4103 andG2532 TrueG228, andG2532 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 he doth judgeG2919 andG2532 make warG4170.
HisG846 eyesG3788 were asG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 were manyG4183 crownsG1238; and he hadG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, thatG3739 no manG3762 knewG1492, butG1508 he himselfG846.
AndG2532 he was clothedG4016 with a vestureG2440 dippedG911 in bloodG129: andG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 is calledG2564 The WordG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 the armiesG4753 which wereG3588 inG1722 heavenG3772 followedG190 himG846 uponG1909 whiteG3022 horsesG2462, clothedG1746 in fine linenG1039, whiteG3022 andG2532 cleanG2513.
AndG2532 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 goethG1607 a sharpG3691 swordG4501, thatG2443 withG1722 itG846 he should smiteG3960 the nationsG1484: andG2532 heG846 shall ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603: andG2532 heG846 treadethG3961 the winepressG3025+G3631 of the fiercenessG2372 andG2532 wrathG3709 of AlmightyG3841 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he hathG2192 onG1909 his vestureG2440 andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 thighG3382 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, KINGG935 OF KINGSG935, ANDG2532 LORDG2962 OF LORDSG2962.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anG1520 angelG32 standingG2476 inG1722 the sunG2246; andG2532 he criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004 to allG3956 the fowlsG3732 that flyG4072 inG1722 the midst of heavenG3321, ComeG1205 andG2532 gather yourselves togetherG4863 untoG1519 the supperG1173 of the greatG3173 GodG2316;
ThatG2443 ye may eatG5315 the fleshG4561 of kingsG935, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of captainsG5506, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of mighty menG2478, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of horsesG2462, andG2532 of them that sitG2521 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of allG3956 men, both freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the beastG2342, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 armiesG4753, gathered togetherG4863 to makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 him that satG2521 onG1909 the horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 hisG846 armyG4753.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
AndG2532 the remnantG3062 were slainG615 withG1722 the swordG4501 of him that satG2521 uponG1909 the horseG2462, whichG3588 sword proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750: andG2532 allG3956 the fowlsG3732 were filledG5526 withG1537 theirG846 fleshG4561.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
