King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767, myG3450 sonG5043, be strongG1743 inG1722 the graceG5485 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767 endure hardnessG2553, asG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 that warrethG4754 entangleth himselfG1707 with the affairsG4230 of this lifeG979; thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldierG4758.
AndG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 alsoG2532 striveG118 for masteries, yet is heG4737 notG3756 crownedG4737, exceptG3362 he striveG118 lawfullyG3545.
The husbandmanG1092 that labourethG2872 must beG1163 firstG4413 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG2590. {that…: or, labouring first, must be partaker of the fruits}
ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004; andG1063 the LordG2962 giveG1325 theeG4671 understandingG4907 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
RememberG3421 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG3450 gospelG2098:
WhereinG1722+G3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evil doerG2557, even untoG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
It is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056: ForG1063 ifG1487 we be dead withG4880 him, we shallG4800 alsoG2532 live withG4800 him:
IfG1487 we sufferG5278, we shallG4821 alsoG2532 reign withG4821 him: ifG1487 we denyG720 him, he alsoG2548 will denyG720 usG2248:
IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756+G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438.
Of these thingsG5023 put them in remembranceG5279, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 the LordG2962 that they striveG3054 notG3361 about wordsG3054 toG1519 noG3762 profitG5539, but toG1909 the subvertingG2692 of the hearersG191.
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
ButG1161 shunG4026 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757: forG1063 they will increaseG4298 untoG1909 moreG4119 ungodlinessG763.
AndG2532 theirG846 wordG3056 will eatG2192+G3542 asG5613 doth a cankerG1044: of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 PhiletusG5372; {canker: or, gangrene}
WhoG3748 concerningG4012 the truthG225 have erredG795, sayingG3004 that the resurrectionG386 is pastG1096 alreadyG2235; andG2532 overthrowG396 the faithG4102 of someG5100.
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG2076 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739+G3303 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
ButG1161 foolishG3474 andG2532 unlearnedG521 questionsG2214 avoidG3868, knowingG1492 thatG3754 they do genderG1080 strifesG3163.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
InG1722 meeknessG4236 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225;
AndG2532 that they may recover themselvesG366 out ofG1537 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, who are taken captiveG2221 byG5259 himG846 atG1519 hisG1565 willG2307. {recover…: Gr. awake} {taken…: Gr. taken alive}
(WhichG3739 he had promised aforeG4279 byG1223 hisG846 prophetsG4396 inG1722 the holyG40 scripturesG1124,)
ConcerningG4012 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, whichG3588 was madeG1096 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561;
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
PaulG3972, an apostleG652, (notG3756 ofG575 menG444, neitherG3761 byG1223 manG444, butG235 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 GodG2316 the FatherG3962, whoG3588 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498;)
AndG2532 allG3956 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 meG1698, unto the churchesG1577 of GalatiaG1053:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962, andG2532 from ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
WhoG3588 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 forG5228 ourG2257 sinsG266, thatG3704 he might deliverG1807 usG2248 fromG1537 this presentG1764 evilG4190 worldG165, accordingG2596 to the willG2307 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962:
To whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
I marvelG2296 thatG3754 ye areG3346 soG3779 soonG5030 removedG3346 fromG575 him that calledG2564 youG5209 intoG1722 the graceG5485 of ChristG5547 untoG1519 anotherG2087 gospelG2098:
WhichG3739 isG2076 notG3756 anotherG243; but there beG1526 someG5100 thatG1508 troubleG5015 youG5209, andG2532 wouldG2309 pervertG3344 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
ButG235 thoughG2532+G1437 weG2249, orG2228 an angelG32 fromG1537 heavenG3772, preach any other gospelG2097 unto youG5213 thanG3844 that whichG3739 we have preachedG2097 unto youG5213, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
AsG5613 we said beforeG4280, soG2532 say IG3004 nowG737 againG3825, If anyG1536 man preachG2097 any otherG3844 gospelG2097 unto youG5209 thanG3844 thatG3739 ye have receivedG3880, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
ForG1063 do IG3982 nowG737 persuadeG3982 menG444, orG2228 GodG2316? orG2228 do I seekG2212 to pleaseG700 menG444? forG1063 ifG1487 IG700 yetG2089 pleasedG700 menG444, I shouldG302 notG3756 beG2252 the servantG1401 of ChristG5547.
ButG1161 I certifyG1107 youG5213, brethrenG80, thatG3754 the gospelG2098 whichG3588 was preachedG2097 ofG5259 meG1700 isG2076 notG3756 afterG2596 manG444.
ForG1063 IG1473 neitherG3761 receivedG3880 itG846 ofG3844 manG444, neitherG3777 was I taughtG1321 it, butG235 byG1223 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 ye have heardG191 of myG1699 conversationG391 in time pastG4218 inG1722 the Jews' religionG2454, how thatG3754 beyondG2596 measureG5236 I persecutedG1377 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, andG2532 wastedG4199 itG846:
AndG2532 profitedG4298 inG1722 the Jews' religionG2454 aboveG5228 manyG4183 my equalsG4915 inG1722 mine ownG3450 nationG1085, beingG5225 more exceedinglyG4056 zealousG2207 of the traditionsG3862 of myG3450 fathersG3967. {equals: Gr. equals in years}
ButG1161 whenG3753 it pleasedG2106 GodG2316, whoG3588 separatedG873 meG3165 fromG1537 myG3450 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 calledG2564 me byG1223 hisG846 graceG5485,
To revealG601 hisG846 SonG5207 inG1722 meG1698, thatG2443 I might preachG2097 himG846 amongG1722 the heathenG1484; immediatelyG2112 I conferredG4323 notG3756 with fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129:
NeitherG3761 went I upG424 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 toG4314 them which were apostlesG652 beforeG4253 meG1700; butG235 I wentG565 intoG1519 ArabiaG688, andG2532 returnedG5290 againG3825 untoG1519 DamascusG1154.
ThenG1899 afterG3326 threeG5140 yearsG2094 I went upG424 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 to seeG2477 PeterG4074, andG2532 abodeG1961 withG4314 himG846 fifteenG1178 daysG2250. {went up: or, returned}
ButG1161 otherG2087 of the apostlesG652 saw IG1492 noneG3756, saveG1508 JamesG2385 the Lord'sG2962 brotherG80.
NowG1161 the things whichG3739 I writeG1125 unto youG5213, beholdG2400, beforeG1799 GodG2316+G3754, I lieG5574 notG3756.
AfterwardsG1899 I cameG2064 intoG1519 the regionsG2824 of SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791;
AndG1161 wasG2252 unknownG50 by faceG4383 unto the churchesG1577 of JudaeaG2449 whichG3588 were inG1722 ChristG5547:
ButG1161 they hadG2258 heardG191 onlyG3440, ThatG3754 he which persecutedG1377 usG2248 in times pastG4218 nowG3568 preachethG2097 the faithG4102 whichG3739 onceG4218 he destroyedG4199.
AndG2532 they glorifiedG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 meG1698.
ThenG1899 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 afterG1223 I went upG305 againG3825 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 BarnabasG921, and tookG4838 TitusG5103 with meG4838 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 I went upG305 byG2596 revelationG602, andG2532 communicatedG394 unto themG846 that gospelG2098 whichG3739 I preachG2784 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, butG1161 privatelyG2596+G2398 to them which were of reputationG1380, lest by any meansG3381+G4458 I should runG5143, orG2228 had runG5143, inG1519 vainG2756. {privately: or, severally}
ButG235 neitherG3761 TitusG5103, whoG3588 was withG4862 meG1698, beingG5607 a GreekG1672, was compelledG315 to be circumcisedG4059:
AndG1161 that because ofG1223 false brethrenG5569 unawares brought inG3920, whoG3748 came in privilyG3922 to spy outG2684 ourG2257 libertyG1657 whichG3739 we haveG2192 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, thatG2443 they might bringG2615 usG2248 into bondageG2615:
To whomG3739 we gave placeG1502 by subjectionG5292, no, notG3761 forG4314 an hourG5610; thatG2443 the truthG225 of the gospelG2098 might continueG1265 withG4314 youG5209.
ButG1161 ofG575 these who seemedG1380 to beG1511 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697+G4218 they wereG2258, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG3427: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man'sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they who seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1698:
ButG235 contrariwiseG5121, when they sawG1492 thatG3754 the gospelG2098 of the uncircumcisionG203 was committed unto meG4100, asG2531 the gospel of the circumcisionG4061 was unto PeterG4074;
(ForG1063 he that wrought effectuallyG1754 in PeterG4074 toG1519 the apostleshipG651 of the circumcisionG4061, the sameG2532 was mightyG1754 in meG1698 towardG1519 the GentilesG1484:)
AndG2532 when JamesG2385+G2532, CephasG2786, andG2532 JohnG2491, whoG3588 seemedG1380 to beG1511 pillarsG4769, perceivedG1097 the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 unto meG3427, they gaveG1325 to meG1698 andG2532 BarnabasG921 the right handsG1188 of fellowshipG2842; thatG2443 weG2249 should go untoG1519 the heathenG1484, andG1161 theyG846 untoG1519 the circumcisionG4061.
OnlyG3440 they would thatG2443 we should rememberG3421 the poorG4434; the sameG846+G5124 whichG3739 IG4704 alsoG2532 was forwardG4704 to doG4160.
ButG1161 whenG3753 PeterG4074 was comeG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490, I withstoodG436 himG846 toG2596 the faceG4383, becauseG3754 he wasG2258 to be blamedG2607.
ForG1063 beforeG4253 that certainG5100 cameG2064 fromG575 JamesG2385, he did eatG4906 withG3326 the GentilesG1484: butG1161 whenG3753 they were comeG2064, he withdrewG5288 andG2532 separatedG873 himselfG1438, fearingG5399 them which were ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061.
AndG2532 the otherG3062 JewsG2453 dissembledG4942 likewiseG2532 with himG846; insomuchG5620 that BarnabasG921 alsoG2532 was carried awayG4879 with theirG846 dissimulationG5272.
ButG235 whenG3753 I sawG1492 thatG3754 they walkedG3716 notG3756 uprightlyG3716 according toG4314 the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG2036 unto PeterG4074 beforeG1715 them allG3956, IfG1487 thouG4771, beingG5225 a JewG2453, livestG2198 after the manner of GentilesG1483, andG2532 notG3756 as do the JewsG2452, whyG5101 compellest thouG315 the GentilesG1484 to live as do the JewsG2450?
WeG2249 who are JewsG2453 by natureG5449, andG2532 notG3756 sinnersG268 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484,
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG3362 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG2249 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: forG1360 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756+G3956 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344.
ButG1161 ifG1487, while we seekG2212 to be justifiedG1344 byG1722 ChristG5547, weG2147 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532 are foundG2147 sinnersG268, is thereforeG687 ChristG5547 the ministerG1249 of sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 ifG1487 I buildG3618 againG3825 the thingsG5023 whichG3739 I destroyedG2647, I makeG4921 myselfG1683 a transgressorG3848.
ForG1063 IG1473 throughG1223 the lawG3551 am deadG599 to the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might liveG2198 unto GodG2316.
I am crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547: neverthelessG1161 I liveG2198; yet notG3765 IG1473, butG1161 ChristG5547 livethG2198 inG1722 meG1698: andG1161 the life whichG3739 IG2198 nowG3568 liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 byG1722 the faithG4102 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whoG3588 lovedG25 meG3165, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 meG1700.
I doG114 notG3756 frustrateG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316: forG1063 ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 come byG1223 the lawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 is deadG599 in vainG1432.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 andG2532 accessG4318 withG1722 confidenceG4006 byG1223 the faithG4102 of himG846.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimotheusG5095 our brotherG80,
To the saintsG40 andG2532 faithfulG4103 brethrenG80 inG1722 ChristG5547 which are atG1722 ColosseG2857: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AsG2531 yeG3129 alsoG2532 learnedG3129 ofG575 EpaphrasG1889 ourG2257 dearG27 fellowservantG4889, whoG3739 isG2076 forG5228 youG5216 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547;
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 alsoG2532, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 we heardG191 it, doG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 with the knowledgeG1922 of hisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understandingG4907;
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
Giving thanksG2168 unto the FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath madeG2427 usG2248 meetG2427 toG1519 be partakersG3310 of the inheritanceG2819 of the saintsG40 inG1722 lightG5457:
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, even the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
WhoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of everyG3956 creatureG2937:
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; {to fulfil…: or, fully to preach the word}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 IG2872 alsoG2532 labourG2872, strivingG75 according toG2596 hisG846 workingG1753, whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 meG1698 mightilyG1722+G1411.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 that yeG5209 knewG1492 what greatG2245 conflictG73 I haveG2192 forG4012 youG5216, andG2532 for them atG1722 LaodiceaG2993, andG2532 for as many asG3745 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 myG3450 faceG4383 inG1722 the fleshG4561; {conflict: or, fear, or, care}
ThatG2443 theirG846 heartsG2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG26, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG5547;
InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. {In whom: or, Wherein}
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, lestG3363 any manG5100 should beguileG3884 youG5209 withG1722 enticing wordsG4086.
ForG1063 thoughG1499 I be absentG548 in the fleshG4561, yetG235 am IG1510 withG4862 youG5213 in the spiritG4151, joyingG5463 andG2532 beholdingG991 yourG5216 orderG5010, andG2532 the stedfastnessG4733 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.
AsG5613 ye haveG3880 thereforeG3767 receivedG3880 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962, so walk yeG4043 inG1722 himG846:
RootedG4492 andG2532 built upG2026 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 stablishedG950 inG1722 the faithG4102, asG2531 ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 thereinG1722+G846 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169.
BewareG991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG2071+G4812 youG5209 throughG1223 philosophyG5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG539, afterG2596 the traditionG3862 of menG444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray}
ForG3754 inG1722 himG846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of the GodheadG2320 bodilyG4985.
AndG2532 ye areG2075 completeG4137 inG1722 himG846, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776 of allG3956 principalityG746 andG2532 powerG1849:
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG886, inG1722 putting offG555 the bodyG4983 of the sinsG266 of the fleshG4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547:
Buried withG4916 himG846 inG1722 baptismG908, whereinG1722+G3739 alsoG2532 ye are risen withG4891 him throughG1223 the faithG4102 of the operationG1753 of GodG2316, whoG3588 hath raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 youG5209, beingG5607 deadG3498 inG1722 your sinsG3900 andG2532 the uncircumcisionG203 of yourG5216 fleshG4561, hath he quickened togetherG4806 withG4862 himG846, having forgivenG5483 youG5213 allG3956 trespassesG3900;
Blotting outG1813 the handwritingG5498 of ordinancesG1378 that was againstG2596 usG2257, whichG3739 wasG2258 contraryG5227 to usG2254, andG2532 tookG142 itG846 out ofG1537 the wayG3319, nailingG4338 itG846 to his crossG4716;
And having spoiledG554 principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, he made a shew of themG1165 openlyG1722+G3954, triumphing overG2358 themG846 inG1722 itG846. {in it: or, in himself}
LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: {in meat…: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part}
WhichG3739 areG2076 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG5547.
LetG2603 no manG3367 beguileG2603 youG5209 of your rewardG2603 inG1722 a voluntaryG2309 humilityG5012 andG2532 worshippingG2356 of angelsG32, intruding intoG1687 those things whichG3739 he hathG3708 notG3361 seenG3708, vainlyG1500 puffed upG5448 byG5259 hisG846 fleshlyG4561 mindG3563, {beguile…: or, judge against you} {in a…: Gr. being a voluntary in humility}
AndG2532 notG3756 holdingG2902 the HeadG2776, fromG1537 whichG3739 allG3956 the bodyG4983 byG1223 jointsG860 andG2532 bandsG4886 having nourishment ministeredG2023, andG2532 knit togetherG4822, increasethG837 with the increaseG838 of GodG2316.
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}
(TouchG680 notG3361; tasteG1089 notG3366; handleG2345 notG3366;
WhichG3739 allG3956 areG2076 toG1519 perishG5356 with the usingG671;) afterG2596 the commandmentsG1778 andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of menG444?
Which thingsG3748 haveG2192 indeedG3303 a shewG2076+G3056 of wisdomG4678 inG1722 will worshipG1479, andG2532 humilityG5012, andG2532 neglectingG857 of the bodyG4983; notG3756 inG1722 anyG5100 honourG5092 toG4314 the satisfyingG4140 of the fleshG4561. {neglecting: or, punishing, or, not sparing}
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
