Versliste
We are boundG3784 to thankG2168 GodG2316 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80, asG2531 it isG2076 meetG514, becauseG3754 that yourG5216 faithG4102 groweth exceedinglyG5232, andG2532 the charityG26 of everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5216 allG3956 towardG1519 each otherG240 aboundethG4121;
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
ButG1161 ifG1487 I liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561, thisG5124 is the fruitG2590 of my labourG2041+G3427: yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138 I wotG1107 notG3756.
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
ButG235 we speakG2980 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mysteryG3466, even the hiddenG613 wisdom, whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309 beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 gloryG1391:
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
WhoG3588 hath savedG4982 usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564 us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325 usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, (ye knowG1492 the houseG3614 of StephanasG4734, thatG3754 it isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882, andG2532 that they have addictedG5021 themselvesG1438 toG1519 the ministryG1248 of the saintsG40,)
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.
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
LikewiseG2532 greet the churchG1577 that is inG2596 theirG846 houseG3624. SaluteG782 myG3450 wellbelovedG27 EpaenetusG1866, whoG3739 isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882 untoG1519 ChristG5547.
