King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 shall keepG5083 the wholeG3650 lawG3551, and yetG1161 offendG4417 inG1722 oneG1520 point, he isG1096 guiltyG1777 of allG3956.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
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.
Behold, thou desirestH2654 truthH571 in the inward partsH2910: and in the hiddenH5640 part thou shalt make me to knowH3045 wisdomH2451.
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG1161 PaulG3972, earnestly beholdingG816 the councilG4892, saidG2036, MenG435 and brethrenG80, IG1473 have livedG4176 in allG3956 goodG18 conscienceG4893 before GodG2316 untilG891 thisG5026 dayG2250.
WhoG3588 wasG5607 beforeG4386 a blasphemerG989, andG2532 a persecutorG1376, andG2532 injuriousG5197: butG235 I obtained mercyG1653, becauseG3754 I didG4160 it ignorantlyG50 inG1722 unbeliefG570.
ForG1063 I knowG4894 nothingG3762 by myselfG1683; yetG235 am IG1344 notG3756 herebyG1722+G5129 justifiedG1344: butG1161 he that judgethG350 meG3165 isG2076 the LordG2962. {know: or, I am not conscious of any fault}
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
WhosoeverG3956 committethG4160 sinG266 transgressethG4160+G458 alsoG2532 the lawG458: forG2532 sinG266 isG2076 the transgression of the lawG458.
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
NeverthelessG235 deathG2288 reignedG936 fromG575 AdamG76 toG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 them that hadG264 notG3361 sinnedG264 afterG1909 the similitudeG3667 of Adam'sG76 transgressionG3847, whoG3739 isG2076 the figureG5179 of him that was to comeG3195.
AndG2532 AdamG76 wasG538 notG3756 deceivedG538, butG1161 the womanG1135 being deceivedG538 wasG1096 inG1722 the transgressionG3847.
And GodH430 spakeH1696 all these wordsH1697, sayingH559,
I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which have broughtH3318 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650. {bondage: Heb. servants}
Thou shalt have no otherH312 godsH430 before meH6440.
Thou shalt not makeH6213 unto thee any graven imageH6459, or any likenessH8544 of any thing thatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or that is in the earthH776 beneath, or that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776:
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
And shewingH6213 mercyH2617 unto thousandsH505 of them that loveH157 me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687.
Thou shalt not takeH5375 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in vainH7723; for the LORDH3068 will not hold him guiltlessH5352 that takethH5375 his nameH8034 in vainH7723.
RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399:
But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy manservantH5650, nor thy maidservantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179:
For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it.
HonourH3513 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517: that thy daysH3117 may be longH748 upon the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee.
Thou shalt not killH7523.
Thou shalt not commit adulteryH5003.
Thou shalt not stealH1589.
Thou shalt not bearH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against thy neighbourH7453.
Thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour'sH7453 houseH1004, thou shalt not covetH2530 thy neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802, nor his manservantH5650, nor his maidservantH519, nor his oxH7794, nor his assH2543, nor any thing that is thy neighbour'sH7453.
And all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the thunderingsH6963, and the lightningsH3940, and the noiseH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226: and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they removedH5128, and stoodH5975 afar offH7350.
And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 thou with us, and we will hearH8085: but let not GodH430 speakH1696 with us, lest we dieH4191.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: for GodH430 is comeH935 toH5668 proveH5254 you, and that his fearH3374 may be before your facesH6440, that ye sinH2398 not.
And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afar offH7350, and MosesH4872 drew nearH5066 unto the thick darknessH6205 where GodH430 was.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Thus thou shalt sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye have seenH7200 that I have talkedH1696 with you from heavenH8064.
Ye shall not makeH6213 with me godsH430 of silverH3701, neither shall ye makeH6213 unto you godsH430 of goldH2091.
An altarH4196 of earthH127 thou shalt makeH6213 unto me, and shalt sacrificeH2076 thereon thy burnt offeringsH5930, and thy peace offeringsH8002, thy sheepH6629, and thine oxenH1241: in all placesH4725 where I recordH2142 my nameH8034 I will comeH935 unto thee, and I will blessH1288 thee.
And if thou wilt makeH6213 me an altarH4196 of stoneH68, thou shalt not buildH1129 it of hewn stoneH1496: for if thou lift upH5130 thy toolH2719 upon it, thou hast pollutedH2490 it. {build…: Heb. build them with hewing}
Neither shalt thou go upH5927 by stepsH4609 unto mine altarH4196, that thy nakednessH6172 be not discoveredH1540 thereon.
ButG235 inG1722 thoseG846 sacrifices there is a remembrance againG364 made of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763.
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
(ForG1063 untilG891 the lawG3551 sinG266 wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889: butG1161 sinG266 isG1677 notG3756 imputedG1677 when there isG5607 noG3361 lawG3551.
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 unto deathG2288. {motions: Gr. passions}
The stingG2759 of deathG2288 is sinG266; andG1161 the strengthG1411 of sinG266 is the lawG3551.
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
HathG2192 notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739+G3303 makeG4160 one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819?
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484?
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG1093. {the work: or, the account}
AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280, ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302+G1096 asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302+G3666 untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
WhereforeG1352 ye must needsG318 be subjectG5293, notG3756 onlyG3440 forG1223 wrathG3709, butG235 alsoG2532 for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
OweG3784 no manG3367 any thingG3367, butG1508 to loveG25 one anotherG240: forG1063 he that lovethG25 anotherG2087 hath fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551.
ForG1063 this, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431, Thou shaltG5407 notG3756 killG5407, Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813, Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937; andG2532 if there be anyG1536 otherG2087 commandmentG1785, it is briefly comprehendedG346 inG1722 thisG5129 sayingG3056, namelyG1722, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG1438.
LoveG26 workethG2038 noG3756 illG2556 to his neighbourG4139: thereforeG3767 loveG26 is the fulfillingG4138 of the lawG3551.
AndG2532 thatG5124, knowingG1492 the timeG2540, thatG3754 nowG2235 it is high timeG5610 to awakeG2248+G1453 out ofG1537 sleepG5258: forG1063 nowG3568 is ourG2257 salvationG4991 nearerG1452 thanG2228 whenG3753 we believedG4100.
The nightG3571 is far spentG4298+G1161, the dayG2250 is at handG1448: let usG659 thereforeG3767 cast offG659 the worksG2041 of darknessG4655, andG2532 let us put onG1746 the armourG3696 of lightG5457.
Let us walkG4043 honestlyG2156, asG5613 inG1722 the dayG2250; notG3361 in riotingG2970 andG2532 drunkennessG3178, notG3361 in chamberingG2845 andG2532 wantonnessG766, notG3361 in strifeG2054 andG2532 envyingG2205. {honestly: or, decently}
ButG235 put ye onG1746 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 notG3361 provisionG4307 forG1519 the fleshG4561, to fulfil the lustsG1939 thereof.
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
CursedH779 be he that confirmethH6965 not all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 to doH6213 them. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
ForG1063 asG3303 touchingG4012 the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40, it isG2076 superfluousG4053 for meG3427 to writeG1125 to youG5213:
ForG1063 I knowG1492 the forwardness ofG4288 yourG5216 mindG4288, for whichG3739 I boastG2744 ofG5228 youG5216 to them of MacedoniaG3110, thatG3754 AchaiaG882 was readyG3903 a yearG4070 agoG575; andG2532 yourG5216 zealG2205+G1537 hath provokedG2042 very manyG4119.
YetG1161 have I sentG3992 the brethrenG80, lestG3363 ourG2257 boastingG2745 ofG5228 youG5216 should be in vainG2758 inG1722 thisG5129 behalfG3313; thatG2443, asG2531 I saidG3004, ye may beG5600 readyG3903:
LestG3381 haplyG4458 ifG1437 they of MacedoniaG3110 comeG2064 withG4862 meG1698, andG2532 findG2147 youG5209 unpreparedG532, weG2249 (thatG3363 we sayG3004 notG3363, yeG5210) should be ashamedG2617 inG1722 this sameG5026 confidentG5287 boastingG2746.
ThereforeG3767 I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to exhortG3870 the brethrenG80, thatG2443 they would go beforeG4281 untoG1519 youG5209, andG2532 make up beforehandG4294 yourG5216 bountyG2129, whereof ye had notice beforeG4293, that the sameG5026 might beG1511 readyG2092+G3779, asG5613 a matter of bountyG2129, andG2532 notG3361 asG5618 of covetousnessG4124. {bounty: Gr. blessing} {whereof…: or, which hath been so much spoken of before}
ButG1161 thisG5124 I say, He which sowethG4687 sparinglyG5340 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 sparinglyG5340; andG2532 he which sowethG4687 bountifullyG1909+G2129 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 bountifullyG1909+G2129.
Every manG1538 according asG2531 he purposethG4255 in his heartG2588, so let him give; notG3361 grudginglyG1537+G3077, orG2228 ofG1537 necessityG318: forG1063 GodG2316 lovethG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
AndG1161 GodG2316 is ableG1415 to makeG4052 allG3956 graceG5485 aboundG4052 towardG1519 youG5209; thatG2443 ye, alwaysG3842 havingG2192 allG3956 sufficiencyG841 inG1722 allG3956 things, may aboundG4052 toG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041:
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, He hath dispersed abroadG4650; he hath givenG1325 to the poorG3993: hisG846 righteousnessG1343 remainethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
NowG1161 he that ministerethG2023 seedG4690 to the sowerG4687 bothG2532 ministerG5524 breadG740 forG1519 your foodG1035, andG2532 multiplyG4129 yourG5216 seed sownG4703, andG2532 increaseG837 the fruitsG1081 of yourG5216 righteousnessG1343;)
Being enrichedG4148 inG1722 every thingG3956 toG1519 allG3956 bountifulnessG572, whichG3748 causethG2716 throughG1223 usG2257 thanksgivingG2169 to GodG2316. {bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity}
ForG3754 the administrationG1248 of thisG5026 serviceG3009 notG3756 onlyG3440 suppliethG2076+G4322 the wantG5303 of the saintsG40, butG235 is abundantG4052 alsoG2532 byG1223 manyG4183 thanksgivingsG2169 unto GodG2316;
Whiles byG1223 the experimentG1382 of thisG5026 ministrationG1248 they glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 yourG5216 professedG3671 subjectionG5292 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, andG2532 for your liberalG572 distributionG2842 untoG1519 themG846, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 men;
AndG2532 by theirG846 prayerG1162 forG5228 youG5216, which long afterG1971 youG5209 forG1223 the exceedingG5235 graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1909 youG5213.
ThanksG5485 be unto GodG2316 forG1909 hisG846 unspeakableG411 giftG1431.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
I thankG2168 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686+G3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303+G1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
I commendG4921 unto youG5213 PhebeG5402 ourG2257 sisterG79, which isG5607 a servantG1249 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 is atG1722 CenchreaG2747:
ThatG2443 ye receiveG4327 herG846 inG1722 the LordG2962, as becomethG516 saintsG40, andG2532 that ye assistG3936 herG846 inG1722 whatsoeverG3739+G302 businessG4229 she hath needG5535 of youG5216: forG1063 sheG3778+G846 hath beenG1096 a succourerG4368 of manyG4183, andG2532 of myselfG846+G1700 alsoG2532.
GreetG782 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207 myG3450 helpersG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhoG3748 haveG5294 forG5228 myG3450 lifeG5590 laid downG5294 their ownG1438 necksG5137: unto whomG3739 notG3756 onlyG3441 IG1473 give thanksG2168, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 of the GentilesG1484.
LikewiseG2532 greet the churchG1577 that is inG2596 theirG846 houseG3624. SaluteG782 myG3450 wellbelovedG27 EpaenetusG1866, whoG3739 isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882 untoG1519 ChristG5547.
GreetG782 MaryG3137, whoG3748 bestowedG2872 muchG4183 labourG2872 onG1519 usG2248.
SaluteG782 AndronicusG408 andG2532 JuniaG2458, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, andG2532 myG3450 fellowprisonersG4869, whoG3748 areG1526 of noteG1978 amongG1722 the apostlesG652, whoG3739 alsoG2532 wereG1096 inG1722 ChristG5547 beforeG4253 meG1700.
GreetG782 AmpliasG291 myG3450 belovedG27 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 UrbaneG3773, ourG2257 helperG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 StachysG4720 myG3450 belovedG27.
SaluteG782 ApellesG559 approvedG1384 inG1722 ChristG5547. SaluteG782 themG3588 which are ofG1537 Aristobulus'G711 household. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 HerodionG2267 myG3450 kinsmanG4773. GreetG782 themG3588 that be ofG1537 the household of NarcissusG3488, whichG3588 areG5607 inG1722 the LordG2962. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 TryphenaG5170 andG2532 TryphosaG5173, who labourG2872 inG1722 the LordG2962. SaluteG782 the belovedG27 PersisG4069, whichG3748 labouredG2872 muchG4183 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 RufusG4504 chosenG1588 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 mineG1700.
SaluteG782 AsyncritusG799, PhlegonG5393, HermasG2057, PatrobasG3969, HermesG2060, andG2532 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 PhilologusG5378, andG2532 JuliaG2456, NereusG3517, andG2532 hisG846 sisterG79, andG2532 OlympasG3652, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 an holyG40 kissG5370. The churchesG1577 of ChristG5547 saluteG782 youG5209.
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, markG4648 them which causeG4160 divisionsG1370 andG2532 offencesG4625 contraryG3844 to the doctrineG1322 whichG3739 yeG5210 have learnedG3129; andG2532 avoidG1578 themG575+G846.
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
AndG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 shall bruiseG4937 SatanG4567 underG5259 yourG5216 feetG4228 shortlyG1722+G5034. The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216. AmenG281. {bruise: or, tread}
TimotheusG5095 myG3450 workfellowG4904, andG2532 LuciusG3066, andG2532 JasonG2394, andG2532 SosipaterG4989, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, saluteG782 youG5209.
IG1473 TertiusG5060, who wroteG1125 this epistleG1992, saluteG782 youG5209 inG1722 the LordG2962.
GaiusG1050 mineG3450 hostG3581, andG2532 of the wholeG3650 churchG1577, salutethG782 youG5209. ErastusG2037 the chamberlainG3623 of the cityG4172 salutethG782 youG5209, andG2532 QuartusG2890 a brotherG80.
The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
I commendG4921 unto youG5213 PhebeG5402 ourG2257 sisterG79, which isG5607 a servantG1249 of the churchG1577 whichG3588 is atG1722 CenchreaG2747:
ThatG2443 ye receiveG4327 herG846 inG1722 the LordG2962, as becomethG516 saintsG40, andG2532 that ye assistG3936 herG846 inG1722 whatsoeverG3739+G302 businessG4229 she hath needG5535 of youG5216: forG1063 sheG3778+G846 hath beenG1096 a succourerG4368 of manyG4183, andG2532 of myselfG846+G1700 alsoG2532.
GreetG782 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207 myG3450 helpersG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhoG3748 haveG5294 forG5228 myG3450 lifeG5590 laid downG5294 their ownG1438 necksG5137: unto whomG3739 notG3756 onlyG3441 IG1473 give thanksG2168, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 of the GentilesG1484.
LikewiseG2532 greet the churchG1577 that is inG2596 theirG846 houseG3624. SaluteG782 myG3450 wellbelovedG27 EpaenetusG1866, whoG3739 isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882 untoG1519 ChristG5547.
GreetG782 MaryG3137, whoG3748 bestowedG2872 muchG4183 labourG2872 onG1519 usG2248.
SaluteG782 AndronicusG408 andG2532 JuniaG2458, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, andG2532 myG3450 fellowprisonersG4869, whoG3748 areG1526 of noteG1978 amongG1722 the apostlesG652, whoG3739 alsoG2532 wereG1096 inG1722 ChristG5547 beforeG4253 meG1700.
GreetG782 AmpliasG291 myG3450 belovedG27 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 UrbaneG3773, ourG2257 helperG4904 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 StachysG4720 myG3450 belovedG27.
SaluteG782 ApellesG559 approvedG1384 inG1722 ChristG5547. SaluteG782 themG3588 which are ofG1537 Aristobulus'G711 household. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 HerodionG2267 myG3450 kinsmanG4773. GreetG782 themG3588 that be ofG1537 the household of NarcissusG3488, whichG3588 areG5607 inG1722 the LordG2962. {household: or, friends}
SaluteG782 TryphenaG5170 andG2532 TryphosaG5173, who labourG2872 inG1722 the LordG2962. SaluteG782 the belovedG27 PersisG4069, whichG3748 labouredG2872 muchG4183 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SaluteG782 RufusG4504 chosenG1588 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 andG2532 mineG1700.
SaluteG782 AsyncritusG799, PhlegonG5393, HermasG2057, PatrobasG3969, HermesG2060, andG2532 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 PhilologusG5378, andG2532 JuliaG2456, NereusG3517, andG2532 hisG846 sisterG79, andG2532 OlympasG3652, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40 which are withG4862 themG846.
SaluteG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 an holyG40 kissG5370. The churchesG1577 of ChristG5547 saluteG782 youG5209.
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, markG4648 them which causeG4160 divisionsG1370 andG2532 offencesG4625 contraryG3844 to the doctrineG1322 whichG3739 yeG5210 have learnedG3129; andG2532 avoidG1578 themG575+G846.
ForG1063 they that are suchG5108 serveG1398 notG3756 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 their ownG1438 bellyG2836; andG2532 byG1223 good wordsG5542 andG2532 fair speechesG2129 deceiveG1818 the heartsG2588 of the simpleG172.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
AndG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 shall bruiseG4937 SatanG4567 underG5259 yourG5216 feetG4228 shortlyG1722+G5034. The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216. AmenG281. {bruise: or, tread}
TimotheusG5095 myG3450 workfellowG4904, andG2532 LuciusG3066, andG2532 JasonG2394, andG2532 SosipaterG4989, myG3450 kinsmenG4773, saluteG782 youG5209.
IG1473 TertiusG5060, who wroteG1125 this epistleG1992, saluteG782 youG5209 inG1722 the LordG2962.
GaiusG1050 mineG3450 hostG3581, andG2532 of the wholeG3650 churchG1577, salutethG782 youG5209. ErastusG2037 the chamberlainG3623 of the cityG4172 salutethG782 youG5209, andG2532 QuartusG2890 a brotherG80.
The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
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?
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he livethG2198?
ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435.
So thenG686+G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG2316.
ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 unto deathG2288. {motions: Gr. passions}
ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722+G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. {that being…: or, being dead to that}
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063+G3739 the goodG18 that I wouldG2309 I doG4160 notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, thatG5124 I doG4238.
NowG1161 ifG1487+G3739 I doG4160 thatG5124 IG1473 wouldG2309 notG3756, it is no moreG2089+G3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
I thankG2168 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686+G3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303+G1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
OG5599 foolishG453 GalatiansG1052, whoG5101 hath bewitchedG940 youG5209, that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225, beforeG2596 whoseG3739 eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath been evidently set forthG4270, crucifiedG4717 amongG1722 youG5213?
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
He thereforeG3767 that ministerethG2023 to youG5213 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG5213, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Even asG2531 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was accountedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343. {accounted: or, imputed}
Know yeG1097 thereforeG686 thatG3754 they which are ofG1537 faithG4102, the sameG3778 areG1526 the childrenG5207 of AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 the scriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 thatG3754 GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying,G3754 InG1722 theeG4671 shallG1757 allG3956 nationsG1484 be blessedG1757.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; Though it be butG3676 a man'sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. {covenant: or, testament}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 after that faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG2070 no longerG2089+G3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807.
ForG1063 ye areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316 byG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 as many of you asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 be Christ'sG5547, thenG686 are yeG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 IG1473 throughG1223 the lawG3551 am deadG599 to the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might liveG2198 unto GodG2316.
Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he livethG2198?
ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435.
So thenG686+G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG2316.
ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 unto deathG2288. {motions: Gr. passions}
ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722+G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. {that being…: or, being dead to that}
WhereforeG3767 ifG1487 ye be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547 fromG575 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 livingG2198 inG1722 the worldG2889, are ye subject to ordinancesG1379, {rudiments: or, elements}
ForG1063 godlyG2316+G2596 sorrowG3077 workethG2716 repentanceG3341 toG1519 salvationG4991 not to be repented ofG278: butG1161 the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 workethG2716 deathG2288.
IfG1487+G3305 ye fulfilG5055 the royalG937 lawG3551 according toG2596 the scriptureG1124, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572, ye doG4160 wellG2573:
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye comeH935 into the landH776 which I giveH5414 you, then shall the landH776 keepH7673 a sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068. {keep: Heb. rest}
SixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy fieldH7704, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt pruneH2168 thy vineyardH3754, and gatherH622 in the fruitH8393 thereof;
But in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 shall be a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 unto the landH776, a sabbathH7676 for the LORDH3068: thou shalt neither sowH2232 thy fieldH7704, nor pruneH2168 thy vineyardH3754.
That which groweth of its own accordH5599 of thy harvestH7105 thou shalt not reapH7114, neither gatherH1219 the grapesH6025 of thy vine undressedH5139: for it is a yearH8141 of restH7677 unto the landH776. {of thy vine…: Heb. of thy separation}
And the sabbathH7676 of the landH776 shall be meatH402 for you; for thee, and for thy servantH5650, and for thy maidH519, and for thy hired servantH7916, and for thy strangerH8453 that sojournethH1481 with thee,
And for thy cattleH929, and for the beastH2416 that are in thy landH776, shall all the increaseH8393 thereof be meatH398.
And thou shalt numberH5608 sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 unto thee, sevenH7651 timesH6471 sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the spaceH3117 of the sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 shall be unto thee fortyH705 and nineH8672 yearsH8141.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpetH7782 of the jubileH8643 to soundH5674 on the tenthH6218 day of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the dayH3117 of atonementH3725 shall ye make the trumpetH7782 soundH5674 throughout all your landH776. {of the jubile: Heb. loud of sound}
And ye shall hallowH6942 the fiftiethH2572+H8141 yearH8141, and proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 throughout all the landH776 unto all the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: it shall be a jubileH3104 unto you; and ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his possessionH272, and ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his familyH4940.
A jubileH3104 shall that fiftiethH2572+H8141 yearH8141 be unto you: ye shall not sowH2232, neither reapH7114 that which growethH5599 of itself in it, nor gatherH1219 the grapes in it of thy vine undressedH5139.
For it is the jubileH3104; it shall be holyH6944 unto you: ye shall eatH398 the increaseH8393 thereof out of the fieldH7704.
In the yearH8141 of this jubileH3104 ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his possessionH272.
And if thou sellH4376 oughtH4465 unto thy neighbourH5997, or buyestH7069 ought of thy neighbour'sH5997 handH3027, ye shall not oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH251:
According to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileH3104 thou shalt buyH7069 of thy neighbourH5997, and according unto the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of the fruitsH8393 he shall sellH4376 unto thee:
AccordingH6310 to the multitudeH7230 of yearsH8141 thou shalt increaseH7235 the priceH4736 thereof, and accordingH6310 to the fewnessH4591 of yearsH8141 thou shalt diminishH4591 the priceH4736 of it: for according to the numberH4557 of the years of the fruitsH8393 doth he sellH4376 unto thee.
Ye shall not therefore oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997; but thou shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430: for I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Wherefore ye shall doH6213 my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them; and ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 in safetyH983.
And the landH776 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and ye shall eatH398 your fillH7648, and dwellH3427 therein in safetyH983.
And if ye shall sayH559, What shall we eatH398 the seventhH7637 yearH8141? behold, we shall not sowH2232, nor gatherH622 in our increaseH8393:
Then I will commandH6680 my blessingH1293 upon you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, and it shall bring forthH6213 fruitH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141.
And ye shall sowH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, and eatH398 yet of oldH3465 fruitH8393 until the ninthH8671 yearH8141; until her fruitsH8393 come inH935 ye shall eatH398 of the oldH3465 store.
The landH776 shall not be soldH4376 for everH6783: for the landH776 is mine; for ye are strangersH1616 and sojournersH8453 with me. {for ever: or, to be quite cut off: Heb. for cutting off}
And in all the landH776 of your possessionH272 ye shall grantH5414 a redemptionH1353 for the landH776.
If thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and hath soldH4376 away some of his possessionH272, and if any of his kinH7138 comeH935 to redeemH1350 it, then shall he redeemH1350 that which his brotherH251 soldH4465.
And if the manH376 have none to redeemH1350 it, and himselfH3027 be ableH1767+H5381 to redeemH4672+H1353 it; {himself…: Heb. his hand hath attained and found sufficiency}
Then let him countH2803 the yearsH8141 of the saleH4465 thereof, and restoreH7725 the overplusH5736 unto the manH376 to whom he soldH4376 it; that he may returnH7725 unto his possessionH272.
But if heH3027 be not ableH1767 to restoreH4672+H7725 it to him, then that which is soldH4465 shall remain in the handH3027 of him that hath boughtH7069 it until the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: and in the jubileH3104 it shall go outH3318, and he shall returnH7725 unto his possessionH272.
And if a manH376 sellH4376 a dwellingH4186 houseH1004 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then he may redeemH1353 it within a wholeH8552 yearH8141 after it is soldH4465; within a full yearH3117 may he redeemH1353 it.
And if it be not redeemedH1350 within the spaceH4390 of a fullH8549 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 shall be establishedH6965 for everH6783 to him that boughtH7069 it throughout his generationsH1755: it shall not go outH3318 in the jubileH3104.
But the housesH1004 of the villagesH2691 which have no wallH2346 round aboutH5439 them shall be countedH2803 as the fieldsH7704 of the countryH776: they may be redeemedH1353, and they shall go outH3318 in the jubileH3104. {they may…: Heb. redemption belongeth unto it}
Notwithstanding the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, and the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of their possessionH272, may the LevitesH3881 redeemH1353 at any timeH5769.
And if a man purchaseH1350 of the LevitesH3881, then the houseH1004 that was soldH4465, and the cityH5892 of his possessionH272, shall go outH3318 in the year of jubileH3104: for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {a man…: or, one of the Levites redeem them}
But the fieldH7704 of the suburbsH4054 of their citiesH5892 may not be soldH4376; for it is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.
And if thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and fallen in decayH4131 with theeH3027; then thou shalt relieveH2388 him: yea, though he be a strangerH1616, or a sojournerH8453; that he may liveH2416 with thee. {fallen…: Heb. his hand faileth} {relieve: Heb. strengthen}
TakeH3947 thou no usuryH5392 of him, or increaseH8636: but fearH3372 thy GodH430; that thy brotherH251 may liveH2416 with thee.
Thou shalt not giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon usuryH5392, nor lendH5414 him thy victualsH400 for increaseH4768.
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and to be your GodH430.
And if thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by thee be waxen poorH4134, and be soldH4376 unto thee; thou shalt not compelH5647 him to serveH5656 as a bondservantH5650: {compel…: Heb. serve thyself with him with the service, etc}
But as an hired servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee, and shall serveH5647 thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104:
And then shall he departH3318 from thee, both he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his own familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725.
For they are my servantsH5650, which I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 asH4466 bondmenH5650. {as…: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}
Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigourH6531; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
Both thy bondmenH5650, and thy bondmaidsH519, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you; of them shall ye buyH7069 bondmenH5650 and bondmaidsH519.
Moreover of the childrenH1121 of the strangersH8453 that do sojournH1481 among you, of them shall ye buyH7069, and of their familiesH4940 that are with you, which they begatH3205 in your landH776: and they shall be your possessionH272.
And ye shall take them as an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you, to inheritH3423 them for a possessionH272; they shall be your bondmenH5647 for everH5769: but over your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, ye shall not ruleH7287 oneH376 over anotherH251 with rigourH6531. {they…: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them}
And if a sojournerH1616 or strangerH8453 wax richH5381 by theeH3027, and thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by him wax poorH4134, and sellH4376 himself unto the strangerH1616 or sojournerH8453 by thee, or to the stockH6133 of the stranger'sH1616 familyH4940: {wax rich…: Heb. his hand obtain, etc}
AfterH310 that he is soldH4376 he may be redeemed againH1353; oneH259 of his brethrenH251 may redeemH1350 him:
Either his uncleH1730, or his uncle'sH1730 sonH1121, may redeemH1350 him, or any that is nighH7607 of kinH1320 unto him of his familyH4940 may redeemH1350 him; or if he be ableH5381, he may redeemH1350 himselfH3027.
And he shall reckonH2803 with him that boughtH7069 him from the yearH8141 that he was soldH4376 to him unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: and the priceH3701 of his saleH4465 shall be according unto the numberH4557 of yearsH8141, according to the timeH3117 of an hired servantH7916 shall it be with him.
If there be yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 behind, accordingH6310 unto them he shall give againH7725 the price of his redemptionH1353 out of the moneyH3701 that he was boughtH4736 for.
And if there remainH7604 but fewH4592 yearsH8141 unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104, then he shall countH2803 with him, and accordingH6310 unto his yearsH8141 shall he give him againH7725 the price of his redemptionH1353.
And as a yearlyH8141+H8141 hired servantH7916 shall he be with him: and the other shall not ruleH7287 with rigourH6531 over him in thy sightH5869.
And if he be not redeemedH1350 in these years, then he shall go outH3318 in the yearH8141 of jubileH3104, both he, and his childrenH1121 with him. {in these…: or, by these means}
For unto me the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are servantsH5650; they are my servantsH5650 whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
To preachG2784 the acceptableG1184 yearG1763 of the LordG2962.
The LORDH3068 also spakeH1696 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Appoint outH5414 for you citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, whereof I spakeH1696 unto you by the handH3027 of MosesH4872:
That the slayerH7523 that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 and unwittinglyH1847 may fleeH5127 thither: and they shall be your refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818.
And when he that doth fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892 shall standH5975 at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and shall declareH1696 his causeH1697 in the earsH241 of the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, they shall takeH622 him into the cityH5892 unto them, and giveH5414 him a placeH4725, that he may dwellH3427 among them.
And if the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 afterH310 him, then they shall not deliverH5462 the slayerH7523 up into his handH3027; because he smoteH5221 his neighbourH7453 unwittinglyH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not beforetimeH8543+H8032.
And he shall dwellH3427 in that cityH5892, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 for judgmentH4941, and until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 thatH834 shall be in those daysH3117: then shall the slayerH7523 returnH7725, and comeH935 unto his own cityH5892, and unto his own houseH1004, unto the cityH5892 from whence he fledH5127.
And they appointedH6942 KedeshH6943 in GalileeH1551 in mountH2022 NaphtaliH5321, and ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and KirjatharbaH7153, which is HebronH2275, in the mountainH2022 of JudahH3063. {appointed: Heb. sanctified}
And on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383 by JerichoH3405 eastwardH4217, they assignedH5414 BezerH1221 in the wildernessH4057 upon the plainH4334 out of the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, and RamothH7216 in GileadH1568 out of the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, and GolanH1474 in BashanH1316 out of the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519.
These were the citiesH5892 appointedH4152 for all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 them, that whosoever killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684 might fleeH5127 thither, and not dieH4191 by the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, until he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712.
Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376 lefthandedH334+H3027+H3225; every one could slingH7049 stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398.
He saithG3004 unto themG846+G3754, MosesG3475 because ofG4314 the hardnessG4641 of yourG5216 heartsG4641 sufferedG2010 youG5213 to put awayG630 yourG5216 wivesG1135: butG1161 fromG575 the beginningG746 it wasG1096 notG3756 soG3779.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
ButG1161 intoG1519 the secondG1208 went the high priestG749 aloneG3441 onceG530 every yearG1763, notG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438, andG2532 for the errorsG51 of the peopleG2992:
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he livethG2198?
ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435.
So thenG686+G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG2316.
ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 unto deathG2288. {motions: Gr. passions}
ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722+G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. {that being…: or, being dead to that}
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063+G3739 the goodG18 that I wouldG2309 I doG4160 notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, thatG5124 I doG4238.
NowG1161 ifG1487+G3739 I doG4160 thatG5124 IG1473 wouldG2309 notG3756, it is no moreG2089+G3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
I thankG2168 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686+G3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303+G1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he livethG2198?
ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435.
So thenG686+G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG2316.

ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722+G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. {that being…: or, being dead to that}
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}

AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063+G3739 the goodG18 that I wouldG2309 I doG4160 notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, thatG5124 I doG4238.
NowG1161 ifG1487+G3739 I doG4160 thatG5124 IG1473 wouldG2309 notG3756, it is no moreG2089+G3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
I thankG2168 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686+G3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303+G1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he livethG2198?
ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435.
So thenG686+G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG2316.
ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 unto deathG2288. {motions: Gr. passions}
ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722+G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. {that being…: or, being dead to that}
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me.
WhereforeG5620+G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18.
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123, inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756.
ForG1063+G3739 the goodG18 that I wouldG2309 I doG4160 notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, thatG5124 I doG4238.
NowG1161 ifG1487+G3739 I doG4160 thatG5124 IG1473 wouldG2309 notG3756, it is no moreG2089+G3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
I thankG2168 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686+G3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303+G1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1698.
ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444:
ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163 to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196.
