And JonathanH3083, Saul'sH7586 sonH1121, had a sonH1121 that was lameH5223 of his feetH7272. He was fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the tidingsH8052 cameH935 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 out of JezreelH3157, and his nurseH539 took him upH5375, and fledH5127: and it came to pass, as she made hasteH2648 to fleeH5127, that he fellH5307, and became lameH6452. And his nameH8034 was MephiboshethH4648. {Mephibosheth: or, Meribbaal}
And they heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 walkingH1980 in the gardenH1588 in the coolH7307 of the dayH3117: and AdamH120 and his wifeH802 hid themselvesH2244 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 amongstH8432 the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588. {cool: Heb. wind}
No manG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165, exceptG3362 the FatherG3962 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 meG3165 drawG1670 himG846: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
AllG3956 thatG3739 the FatherG3962 givethG1325 meG3427 shall comeG2240 toG4314 meG1691; andG2532 him that comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165 I willG1544 in no wiseG3364 castG1544 outG1854.
And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 shewH6213 me the kindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068, that I dieH4191 not:
But also thou shalt not cut offH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 hath cut offH3772 the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
So JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, Let the LORDH3068 even requireH1245 it at the handH3027 of David'sH1732 enemiesH341. {made: Heb. cut}
And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315. {because…: or, by his love toward him}
ThenG1161 drew nearG2258+G1448 unto himG846 allG3956 the publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 for to hearG191 himG846.
AndG2532 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, This manG3754+G3778 receivethG4327 sinnersG268, andG2532 eatethG4906 with themG846.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004,
WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG5216, havingG2192 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, ifG2532 he loseG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, dothG2641 notG3756 leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1768 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 that which is lostG622, untilG2193 he findG2147 itG846?
AndG2532 when he hath foundG2147 it, he layethG2007 it onG1909 hisG1438 shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463.
AndG2532 when he comethG2064+G1519 homeG3624, he calleth togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighboursG1069, sayingG3004 unto themG846, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG3450 sheepG4263 whichG3588 was lostG622.
I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 likewiseG3779 joyG5479 shall beG2071 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340, more thanG2228 overG1909 ninety and nineG1768 just personsG1342, whichG3748 needG2192+G5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.
EitherG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 havingG2192 tenG1176 pieces of silverG1406, ifG1437 she loseG622 oneG3391 pieceG1406, doth notG3780 lightG681 a candleG3088, andG2532 sweepG4563 the houseG3614, andG2532 seekG2212 diligentlyG1960 tillG2193+G3755 she findG2147 it? {pieces…: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman penny}
AndG2532 when she hath foundG2147 it, she callethG4779 her friendsG5384 andG2532 her neighboursG1069 togetherG4779, sayingG3004, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 the pieceG1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622.
LikewiseG3779, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, there isG1096 joyG5479 in the presenceG1799 of the angelsG32 of GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, A certainG5100 manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207:
AndG2532 the youngerG3501 of themG846 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG3427 the portionG3313 of goodsG3776 that fallethG1911 to me. AndG2532 he dividedG1244 unto themG846 his livingG979.
AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG537 togetherG4863, and took his journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561, andG2532 thereG1563 wastedG1287 hisG846 substanceG3776 with riotousG811 livingG2198.
AndG1161 when heG846 had spentG1159 allG3956, there aroseG1096 a mightyG2478 famineG3042 inG2596 thatG1565 landG5561; andG2532 heG846 beganG756 to be in wantG5302.
AndG2532 he wentG4198 and joined himselfG2853 toG1520 a citizenG4177 of thatG1565 countryG5561; andG2532 he sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG68 to feedG1006 swineG5519.
AndG2532 he would fainG1937 have filledG1072 hisG846 bellyG2836 withG575 the husksG2769 thatG3739 the swineG5519 did eatG2068: andG2532 no manG3762 gaveG1325 unto himG846.
AndG1161 when he cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, How manyG4214 hired servantsG3407 of myG3450 father'sG3962 have breadG740 enough and to spareG4052, andG1161 IG1473 perishG622 with hungerG3042!
I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 fatherG3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4675,
AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG3165 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4675 hired servantsG3407.
AndG2532 he aroseG450, and cameG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3962. ButG1161 when heG846 was yetG2089 a great wayG3112 offG568, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 had compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, and fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
AndG1161 the sonG5207 saidG2036 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 inG1799 thyG4675 sightG1799, andG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207.
ButG1161 the fatherG3962 saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG1401, Bring forthG1627 the bestG4413 robeG4749, andG2532 put it onG1746 himG846; andG2532 putG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 shoesG5266 onG1519 his feetG4228:
AndG2532 bring hitherG5342 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, and killG2380 it; andG2532 let us eatG5315, and be merryG2165:
ForG3754 thisG3778 myG3450 sonG5207 wasG2258 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326+G2532; he wasG2258 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147. AndG2532 they beganG756 to be merryG2165.
NowG1161 hisG846 elderG4245 sonG5207 wasG2258 inG1722 the fieldG68: andG2532 asG5613 he cameG2064 and drew nighG1448 to the houseG3614, he heardG191 musickG4858 andG2532 dancingG5525.
AndG2532 he calledG4341 oneG1520 of the servantsG3816, and askedG4441 whatG5101 these thingsG5023 meantG1498.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846+G3754, ThyG4675 brotherG80 is comeG2240; andG2532 thyG4675 fatherG3962 hath killedG2380 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, becauseG3754 he hath receivedG618 himG846 safe and soundG5198.
AndG1161 he was angryG3710, andG2532 wouldG2309 notG3756 go inG1525: thereforeG3767 cameG1831 hisG846 fatherG3962 outG1831, and intreatedG3870 himG846.
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, LoG2400, these manyG5118 yearsG2094 do I serveG1398 theeG4671, neitherG3763 transgressed IG3928 at any timeG3763 thyG4675 commandmentG1785: andG2532 yetG2532 thouG1325 neverG3763 gavestG1325 meG1698 a kidG2056, thatG2443 I might make merryG2165 withG3326 myG3450 friendsG5384:
ButG1161 as soon asG3753 thisG3778 thyG4675 sonG5207 was comeG2064, whichG3588 hath devouredG2719 thyG4675 livingG979 withG3326 harlotsG4204, thou hast killedG2380 for himG846 the fattedG4618 calfG3448.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, SonG5043, thouG4771 artG1488 everG3842 withG3326 meG1700, andG2532 allG3956 that I haveG1699 isG2076 thineG4674.
It wasG1161 meetG1163 that we should make merryG2165, andG2532 be gladG5463: forG3754 thisG3778 thyG4675 brotherG80 wasG2258 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326; andG2532 wasG2258 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147.
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
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}
ButG1161 as many asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
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.
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.
And it came to pass after thisH310, that the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 diedH4191, and HanunH2586 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, I will shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176, as his fatherH1 shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 unto me. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to comfortH5162 him by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650 for his fatherH1. And David'sH1732 servantsH5650 cameH935 into the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 unto HanunH2586 their lordH113, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513 thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971 comfortersH5162 unto thee? hath not DavidH1732 rather sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto thee, toH5668 searchH2713 the cityH5892, and to spy it outH7270, and to overthrowH2015 it? {Thinkest…: Heb. In thine eyes doth David?}
Wherefore HanunH2586 tookH3947 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and shaved offH1548 the one halfH2677 of their beardsH2206, and cut offH3772 their garmentsH4063 in the middleH2677, even to their buttocksH8357, and sent them awayH7971.
When they toldH5046 it unto DavidH1732, he sentH7971 to meetH7125 them, because the menH582 were greatlyH3966 ashamedH3637: and the kingH4428 saidH559, TarryH3427 at JerichoH3405 until your beardsH2206 be grownH6779, and then returnH7725.
And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that they stankH887 before DavidH1732, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sentH7971 and hiredH7936 the SyriansH758 of BethrehobH1050, and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and of kingH4428 MaacahH4601 a thousandH505 menH376, and of IshtobH382 twelveH6240+H8147 thousandH505 menH376. {Ishtob: or, the men of Tob}
And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635 of the mighty menH1368.
And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 came outH3318, and put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179: and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, and of RehobH7340, and IshtobH382, and MaacahH4601, were by themselvesH905 in the fieldH7704.
When JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the frontH6440 of the battleH4421 was against him beforeH6440 and behindH268, he choseH977 of all the choiceH977 men of IsraelH3478, and put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the SyriansH758:
And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, that he might put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And he saidH559, If the SyriansH758 be too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt helpH3444 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 be too strongH2388 for thee, then I will comeH1980 and helpH3467 thee.
Be of good courageH2388, and let us play the menH2388 for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and the LORDH3068 doH6213 that which seemethH5869 him goodH2896.
And JoabH3097 drew nighH5066, and the peopleH5971 that were with him, unto the battleH4421 against the SyriansH758: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 him.
And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the SyriansH758 were fledH5127, then fledH5127 they also beforeH6440 AbishaiH52, and enteredH935 into the cityH5892. So JoabH3097 returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And when the SyriansH758 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they gatheredH622 themselves togetherH3162.
And HadarezerH1928 sentH7971, and brought outH3318 the SyriansH758 that were beyondH5676 the riverH5104: and they cameH935 to HelamH2431; and ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of HadarezerH1928 went beforeH6440 them. {the river: that is, Euphrates} {Shobach: or, Shophach}
And when it was toldH5046 DavidH1732, he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 to HelamH2431. And the SyriansH758 set themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 DavidH1732, and foughtH3898 with him.
And the SyriansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 the men of sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of the SyriansH758, and fortyH705 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and smoteH5221 ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of their hostH6635, who diedH4191 there.
And when all the kingsH4428 that were servantsH5650 to HadarezerH1928 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and servedH5647 them. So the SyriansH758 fearedH3372 to helpH3467 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 any more.
There wasG2258 a manG444 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686+G846 NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453:
The sameG3778 cameG2064 toG4314 JesusG2424 by nightG3571, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG2064 a teacherG1320 comeG2064 fromG575 GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 canG1410 doG4160 theseG5023 miraclesG4592 thatG3739 thouG4771 doestG4160, exceptG3362 GodG2316 beG5600 withG3326 himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
That which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076 fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 spiritG4151.
MarvelG2296 notG3361 thatG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, YeG5209 mustG1163 be bornG1080 againG509. {again: or, from above}
The windG4151 blowethG4154 whereG3699 it listethG2309, andG2532 thou hearestG191 the soundG5456 thereofG846, butG235 canstG1492 notG3756 tellG1492 whenceG4159 it comethG2064, andG2532 whitherG4226 it goethG5217: soG3779 isG2076 every oneG3956 that is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151.
NicodemusG3530 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 these thingsG5023 beG1096?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 a masterG1320 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 knowestG1097 notG3756 these thingsG5023?
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, We speakG2980 thatG3754+G3739 we do knowG1492, andG2532 testifyG3140 thatG3739 we have seenG3708; andG2532 ye receiveG2983 notG3756 ourG2257 witnessG3141.
IfG1487 I have toldG2036 youG5213 earthly thingsG1919, andG2532 ye believeG4100 notG3756, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100, ifG1437 I tellG2036 youG5213 of heavenly thingsG2032?
AndG2532 no manG3762 hath ascended upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772, butG1508 he that came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, even the SonG5207 of manG444 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 asG2531 MosesG3475 lifted upG5312 the serpentG3789 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, even soG3779 mustG1163 the SonG5207 of manG444 be lifted upG5312:
ThatG3363 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3363 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 the worldG2889, thatG5620 he gaveG1325 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3361 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 sentG649 notG3756 hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889 toG2443 condemnG2919 the worldG2889; butG235 thatG2443 the worldG2889 throughG1223 himG846 might be savedG4982.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 himG846 isG2919 notG3756 condemnedG2919: butG1161 he that believethG4100 notG3361 is condemnedG2919 alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he hathG4100 notG3361 believedG4100 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the only begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 the condemnationG2920, thatG3754 lightG5457 is comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 menG444 lovedG25 darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 lightG5457, becauseG1063 theirG846 deedsG2041 wereG2258 evilG4190.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that doethG4238 evilG5337 hatethG3404 the lightG5457, neitherG2532+G3756 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, lestG3363 hisG846 deedsG2041 should be reprovedG1651. {reproved: or, discovered}
ButG1161 he that doethG4160 truthG225 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, thatG2443 hisG846 deedsG2041 may be made manifestG5319, thatG3754 they areG2076 wroughtG2038 inG1722 GodG2316.
AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 cameG2064 JesusG2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of JudaeaG2449; andG2532 thereG1563 he tarriedG1304 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 baptizedG907.
AndG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG2258 baptizingG907 inG1722 AenonG137 nearG1451 to SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there wasG2258 muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG3854, andG2532 were baptizedG907.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 wasG2258 not yetG3768 castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.
ThenG3767 there aroseG1096 a questionG2214 betweenG3326 some ofG1537 John'sG2491 disciplesG3101 and the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifyingG2512.
AndG2532 they cameG2064 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, heG3739 that wasG2258 withG3326 theeG4675 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, to whomG3739 thouG4771 barest witnessG3140, beholdG2396, the sameG3778 baptizethG907, andG2532 allG3956 men comeG2064 toG4314 himG846.
JohnG2491 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, A manG444 canG1410+G3756 receiveG2983 nothingG3762, exceptG3362 it beG5600 givenG1325 himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3772. {receive: or, take unto himself}
YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565.
He that hathG2192 the brideG3565 isG2076 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whichG3588 standethG2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137.
HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642.
He that comethG2064 from aboveG509 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956: he that isG5607 ofG1537 the earthG1093 isG2076 earthlyG1537+G1093, andG2532 speakethG2980 ofG1537 the earthG1093: he that comethG2064 fromG1537 heavenG3772 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956.
AndG2532 whatG3739 he hath seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191, thatG5124 he testifiethG3140; andG2532 no manG3762 receivethG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141.
He that hath receivedG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141 hath set to his sealG4972 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 trueG227.
ForG1063 he whomG3739 GodG2316 hath sentG649 speakethG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 givethG1325 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 measureG3358 unto him.
The FatherG3962 lovethG25 the SonG5207, andG2532 hath givenG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1722 hisG846 handG5495.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544 the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 onG1909 himG846.
And it came to pass after thisH310, that AbsalomH53 preparedH6213 him chariotsH4818 and horsesH5483, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.
And AbsalomH53 rose up earlyH7925, and stoodH5975 besideH3027 the wayH1870 of the gateH8179: and it was so, that when any manH376 that had a controversyH7379 cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941, then AbsalomH53 calledH7121 unto him, and saidH559, Of whatH335 cityH5892 art thou? And he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 is of oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. {came: Heb. to come}
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed of the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee. {there…: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}
AbsalomH53 saidH559 moreover, Oh that I were madeH7760 judgeH8199 in the landH776, that every manH376 which hath any suitH7379 or causeH4941 might comeH935 unto me, and I would do him justiceH6663!
And it was so, that when any manH376 came nighH7126 to him to do him obeisanceH7812, he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH2388 him, and kissedH5401 him.
And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass afterH7093 fortyH705 yearsH8141, that AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let me goH3212 and payH7999 my vowH5088, which I have vowedH5087 unto the LORDH3068, in HebronH2275.
For thy servantH5650 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 while I abodeH3427 at GeshurH1650 in SyriaH758, sayingH559, If the LORDH3068 shall bring me againH7725+H7725 indeed to JerusalemH3389, then I will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. So he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to HebronH2275.
But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 reignethH4427 in HebronH2275.
And with AbsalomH53 wentH1980 two hundredH3967 menH376 out of JerusalemH3389, that were calledH7121; and they wentH1980 in their simplicityH8537, and they knewH3045 not any thingH1697.
And AbsalomH53 sentH7971 for AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526, David'sH1732 counsellorH3289, from his cityH5892, even from GilohH1542, while he offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077. And the conspiracyH7195 was strongH533; for the peopleH5971 increasedH7227 continuallyH1980 with AbsalomH53.
And there cameH935 a messengerH5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, The heartsH3820 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are afterH310 AbsalomH53.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all his servantsH5650 that were with him at JerusalemH3389, AriseH6965, and let us fleeH1272; for we shall not else escapeH6413 fromH6440 AbsalomH53: make speedH4116 to departH3212, lest he overtakeH5381 us suddenlyH4116, and bringH5080 evilH7451 upon us, and smiteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {bring: Heb. thrust}
And the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, thy servantsH5650 are ready to do whatsoever my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall appointH977. {appoint: Heb. choose}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all his householdH1004 afterH7272 him. And the kingH4428 leftH5800 tenH6235 womenH802, which were concubinesH6370, to keepH8104 the houseH1004. {after…: Heb. at his feet}
And the kingH4428 went forthH3318, and all the peopleH5971 afterH7272 him, and tarriedH5975 in a placeH1004 that was far offH4801+H1023.
And all his servantsH5650 passed onH5674 besideH3027 him; and all the CherethitesH3774, and all the PelethitesH6432, and all the GittitesH1663, sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 which cameH935 afterH7272 him from GathH1661, passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663, Wherefore goestH3212 thou also with us? returnH7725 to thy placeH4725, and abideH3427 with the kingH4428: for thou art a strangerH5237, and also an exileH1540.
Whereas thou camestH935 but yesterdayH8543, should I this dayH3117 make thee goH3212 up and downH5128+H5128 with us? seeing I goH1980 whither I may, returnH7725 thou, and take backH7725 thy brethrenH251: mercyH2617 and truthH571 be with thee. {go up…: Heb. wander in going}
And IttaiH863 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as my lordH113 the kingH4428 livethH2416, surely in what placeH4725 my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall be, whether in deathH4194 or lifeH2416, even there also will thy servantH5650 be.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to IttaiH863, GoH3212 and pass overH5674. And IttaiH863 the GittiteH1663 passed overH5674, and all his menH582, and all the little onesH2945 that were with him.
And all the countryH776 weptH1058 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and all the peopleH5971 passed overH5674: the kingH4428 also himself passed overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and all the peopleH5971 passed overH5674, towardH6440 the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057. {Kidron: Gr. Cedron}
And lo ZadokH6659 also, and all the LevitesH3881 were with him, bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430: and they set downH3332 the arkH727 of GodH430; and AbiatharH54 went upH5927, until all the peopleH5971 had doneH8552 passingH5674 out of the cityH5892.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZadokH6659, Carry backH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 into the cityH5892: if I shall findH4672 favourH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, he will bring me againH7725, and shewH7200 me both it, and his habitationH5116:
But if he thus sayH559, I have no delightH2654 in thee; behold, here am I, let him doH6213 to me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto him.
The kingH4428 saidH559 also unto ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, Art not thou a seerH7200? returnH7725 into the cityH5892 in peaceH7965, and your twoH8147 sonsH1121 with you, AhimaazH290 thy sonH1121, and JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54.
SeeH7200, I will tarryH4102 in the plainH6160+H5679 of the wildernessH4057, until there comeH935 wordH1697 from you to certifyH5046 me.
ZadokH6659 therefore and AbiatharH54 carriedH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 againH7725 to JerusalemH3389: and they tarriedH3427 there.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 by the ascentH4608 of mount OlivetH2132, and weptH1058 as he went upH5927, and had his headH7218 coveredH2645, and he wentH1980 barefootH3182: and all the peopleH5971 that was with him coveredH2645 every manH376 his headH7218, and they went upH5927, weepingH1058 as they went upH5927. {and wept…: Heb. going up and weeping}
And one toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, AhithophelH302 is among the conspiratorsH7194 with AbsalomH53. And DavidH1732 saidH559, O LORDH3068, I pray thee, turn the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 into foolishnessH5528.
And it came to pass, that when DavidH1732 was comeH935 to the topH7218 of the mount, where he worshippedH7812 GodH430, behold, HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 came to meetH7125 him with his coatH3801 rentH7167, and earthH127 upon his headH7218:
Unto whom DavidH1732 saidH559, If thou passest onH5674 with me, then thou shalt be a burdenH4853 unto me:
But if thou returnH7725 to the cityH5892, and sayH559 unto AbsalomH53, I will be thy servantH5650, O kingH4428; as I have been thy father'sH1 servantH5650 hithertoH227, so will I now also be thy servantH5650: then mayest thou for me defeatH6565 the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302.
And hast thou not there with thee ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548? therefore it shall be, that what thingH1697 soever thou shalt hearH8085 out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, thou shalt tellH5046 it to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548.
Behold, they have there with them their twoH8147 sonsH1121, AhimaazH290 Zadok'sH6659 son, and JonathanH3083 Abiathar'sH54 son; and by themH3027 ye shall sendH7971 unto me every thingH1697 that ye can hearH8085.
So HushaiH2365 David'sH1732 friendH7463 cameH935 into the cityH5892, and AbsalomH53 cameH935 into JerusalemH3389.
And when DavidH1732 was a littleH4592 pastH5674 the topH7218 of the hill, behold, ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of MephiboshethH4648 metH7125 him, with a coupleH6776 of assesH2543 saddledH2280, and upon them two hundredH3967 loaves of breadH3899, and an hundredH3967 bunches of raisinsH6778, and an hundredH3967 of summer fruitsH7019, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The assesH2543 be for the king'sH4428 householdH1004 to ride onH7392; and the breadH3899 and summer fruitH7019 for the young menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, And where is thy master'sH113 sonH1121? And ZibaH6717 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Behold, he abidethH3427 at JerusalemH3389: for he saidH559, To dayH3117 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 restoreH7725 me the kingdomH4468 of my fatherH1.
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to ZibaH6717, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto MephiboshethH4648. And ZibaH6717 saidH559, I humblyH7812 beseech thee that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, my lordH113, O kingH4428. {I humbly…: Heb. I do obeisance}
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 shall weepG2799 andG2532 lamentG2354, butG1161 the worldG2889 shall rejoiceG5463: andG1161 yeG5210 shall be sorrowfulG3076, butG235 yourG5216 sorrowG3077 shall be turnedG1096 intoG1519 joyG5479.
YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1511+G1223 the excellencyG5242 of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG3450 LordG2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the lossG2210 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG1511 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547,
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
ForG3754 ourG2257 gospelG2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG5209 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG5213 forG1223 yourG5209 sake.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
