When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963; {are…: Heb. have found thee}
When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee, and shall turn againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in this houseH1004: {in: or, toward}
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
I have sentH7971 also unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 ye now every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amendH3190 your doingsH4611, and goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and ye shall dwell inH3427 the landH127 which I have givenH5414 to you and to your fathersH1: but ye have not inclinedH5186 your earH241, nor hearkenedH8085 unto me.
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
The remnantH7605 shall returnH7725, even the remnantH7605 of JacobH3290, unto the mightyH1368 GodH410.
For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782 shall overflowH7857 with righteousnessH6666. {of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
And the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 EgyptH4714: he shall smiteH5062 and healH7495 it: and they shall returnH7725 even to the LORDH3068, and he shall be intreatedH6279 of them, and shall healH7495 them.
And he shall turnH7725 the heartH3820 of the fathersH1 to the childrenH1121, and the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 to their fathersH1, lest I comeH935 and smiteH5221 the earthH776 with a curseH2764.
ForG1063 thisG5127 people'sG2992 heartG2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
ThatG2443 seeingG991 they may seeG991, andG2532 notG3361 perceiveG1492; andG2532 hearingG191 they may hearG191, andG2532 notG3361 understandG4920; lest at any timeG3379 they should be convertedG1994, andG2532 their sinsG265 should be forgivenG863 themG846.
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
And he shall turnH7725 the heartH3820 of the fathersH1 to the childrenH1121, and the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 to their fathersH1, lest I comeH935 and smiteH5221 the earthH776 with a curseH2764.
ButG1161 IG1473 have prayedG1189 forG4012 theeG4675, thatG3363 thyG4675 faithG4102 failG1587 notG3363: andG2532 whenG4218 thouG4771 art convertedG1994, strengthenG4741 thyG4675 brethrenG80.
He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
AndG2532 allG3956 that dweltG2730 at LyddaG3069 andG2532 SaronG4565 sawG1492 himG846, andG3748 turnedG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 sayingG3004, SirsG435, whyG5101 do yeG4160 these thingsG5130? WeG2249 alsoG2532 areG2070 menG444 of like passionsG3663 with youG5213, and preachG2097 unto youG5209 that ye should turnG1994 fromG575 theseG5023 vanitiesG3152 untoG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whichG3739 madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 all thingsG3956 that are thereinG1722+G846:
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
ForG1063 the heartG2588 of thisG5127 peopleG2992 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 have they closedG2576; lestG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 allG3956 that dweltG2730 at LyddaG3069 andG2532 SaronG4565 sawG1492 himG846, andG3748 turnedG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 theseG5128 sayingsG3056, he departedG3332 fromG575 GalileeG1056, andG2532 cameG2064 intoG1519 the coastsG3725 of JudaeaG2449 beyondG4008 JordanG2446;
AndG2532 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 followedG190 himG846; andG2532 he healedG2323 themG846 thereG1563.
The PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 cameG4334 unto himG846, temptingG3985 himG846, andG2532 sayingG3004 unto himG846, Is it lawfulG1487+G1832 for a manG444 to put awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135 forG2596 everyG3956 causeG156?
AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, Have yeG314 notG3756 readG314, thatG3754 he whichG3588 madeG4160 them atG575 the beginningG746 madeG4160 themG846 maleG730 andG2532 femaleG2338,
AndG2532 saidG2036, For thisG5127 causeG1752 shall a manG444 leaveG2641 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall cleaveG4347 to hisG846 wifeG1135: andG2532 they twainG1417 shall beG2071+G1519 oneG3391 fleshG4561?
WhereforeG5620 they areG1526 no moreG3765 twainG1417, butG235 oneG3391 fleshG4561. WhatG3739 thereforeG3767 GodG2316 hath joined togetherG4801, letG5563 notG3361 manG444 put asunderG5563.
They sayG3004 unto himG846, WhyG5101 did MosesG3475 thenG3767 commandG1781 to giveG1325 a writingG975 of divorcementG647, andG2532 to putG630 herG846 awayG630?
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.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall put awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, exceptG1508 it be forG1909 fornicationG4202, andG2532 shall marryG1060 anotherG243, committeth adulteryG3429: andG2532 whoso marriethG1060 her whichG3588 is put awayG630 doth commit adulteryG3429.
HisG846 disciplesG3101 sayG3004 unto himG846, IfG1487 the caseG156 of the manG444 beG2076 soG3779 withG3326 his wifeG1135, it isG4851 notG3756 goodG4851 to marryG1060.
ButG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, AllG3956 men cannotG3756 receiveG5562 thisG5126 sayingG3056, saveG235 they to whomG3739 it is givenG1325.
ForG1063 there areG1526 some eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 were soG3779 bornG1080 fromG1537 their mother'sG3384 wombG2836: andG2532 there areG1526 some eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 were made eunuchsG2134 ofG5259 menG444: andG2532 there beG1526 eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 have madeG2134 themselvesG1438 eunuchsG2134 forG1223 the kingdomG932 of heaven's sakeG3772. He that is ableG1410 to receiveG5562 it, let him receiveG5562 it.
ThenG5119 were there broughtG4374 unto himG846 little childrenG3813, thatG2443 he should putG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007 themG846, andG2532 prayG4336: andG1161 the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 themG846.
ButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036, SufferG863 little childrenG3813, andG2532 forbidG2967 themG846 notG3361, to comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165: forG1063 of suchG5108 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AndG2532 he laidG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007 themG846, and departedG4198 thenceG1564.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, oneG1520 cameG4334 and saidG2036 unto himG846, GoodG18 MasterG1320, whatG5101 good thingG18 shall I doG4160, thatG2443 I may haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG5101 callest thouG3004 meG3165 goodG18? there is noneG3762 goodG18 butG1508 oneG1520, that is, GodG2316: butG1161 ifG1487 thou wiltG2309 enterG1525 intoG1519 lifeG2222, keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785.
He saithG3004 unto himG846, WhichG4169+G1161? JesusG2424 saidG2036, Thou shalt doG5407 noG3756 murderG5407, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431, Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813, Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576,
HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thy motherG3384: andG2532, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572.
The young manG3495 saithG3004 unto himG846, AllG3956 these thingsG5023 have I keptG5442 fromG1537 myG3450 youth upG3503: whatG5101 lackG5302 I yetG2089?
JesusG2424 saidG5346 unto himG846, IfG1487 thou wiltG2309 beG1511 perfectG5046, goG5217 and sellG4453 that thouG4675 hastG5224, andG2532 giveG1325 to the poorG4434, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 comeG1204 and followG190 meG3427.
ButG1161 when the young manG3495 heardG191 that sayingG3056, he went awayG565 sorrowfulG3076: forG1063 he hadG2192+G2258 greatG4183 possessionsG2933.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 a rich manG4145 shall hardlyG1423 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AndG1161 againG3825 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, It isG2076 easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to goG1330 throughG1223 the eyeG5169 of a needleG4476, thanG2228 for a rich manG4145 to enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
WhenG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 heardG191 it, they were exceedinglyG4970 amazedG1605, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 thenG686 canG1410 be savedG4982?
ButG1161 JesusG2424 beheldG1689 them, and saidG2036 unto themG846, WithG3844 menG444 thisG5124 isG2076 impossibleG102; butG1161 withG3844 GodG2316 all thingsG3956 areG2076 possibleG1415.
ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074 and saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, weG2249 have forsakenG863 allG3956, andG2532 followedG190 theeG4671; whatG5101 shall weG2254 haveG2071 thereforeG686?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 everyG3956 oneG3739 that hath forsakenG863 housesG3614, orG2228 brethrenG80, orG2228 sistersG79, orG2228 fatherG3962, orG2228 motherG3384, orG2228 wifeG1135, orG2228 childrenG5043, orG2228 landsG68, for myG3450 name'sG3686 sakeG1752, shall receiveG2983 an hundredfoldG1542, andG2532 shall inheritG2816 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ButG1161 manyG4183 that are firstG4413 shall beG2071 lastG2078; andG2532 the lastG2078 shall be firstG4413.
PutG5279 themG846 in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, to obey magistratesG3980, to beG1511 readyG2092 toG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041,
To speak evil ofG987 no manG3367, to beG1511 no brawlersG269, but gentleG1933, shewingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444.
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 these thingsG4012+G5130 I willG1014 that thouG4571 affirm constantlyG1226, thatG2443 they which have believedG4100 in GodG2316 might be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG5023 areG2076 goodG2570 andG2532 profitableG5624 unto menG444.
ButG1161 avoidG4026 foolishG3474 questionsG2214, andG2532 genealogiesG1076, andG2532 contentionsG2054, andG2532 strivings aboutG3163 the lawG3544; forG1063 they areG1526 unprofitableG512 andG2532 vainG3152.
A manG444 that is an heretickG141 afterG3326 the firstG3391 andG2532 secondG1208 admonitionG3559 rejectG3868;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he that is suchG5108 is subvertedG1612, andG2532 sinnethG264, beingG5607 condemned of himselfG843.
WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 ArtemasG734 untoG4314 theeG4571, orG2228 TychicusG5190, be diligentG4704 to comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165 toG1519 NicopolisG3533: forG1063 I have determinedG2919 thereG1563 to winterG3914.
BringG4311 ZenasG2211 the lawyerG3544 andG2532 ApollosG625 on their journeyG4311 diligentlyG4709, thatG2443 nothingG3367 be wantingG3007 unto themG846.
AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they beG5600 notG3363 unfruitfulG175. {maintain…: or, profess honest trades}
AllG3956 that are withG3326 meG1700 saluteG782 theeG4571. GreetG782 them that loveG5368 usG2248 inG1722 the faithG4102. GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.}
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076 the ChristG5547 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 him that begatG1080 lovethG25 him alsoG2532 that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 himG846.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
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.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the enemyH341 hath saidH559 against you, AhaH1889, even the ancientH5769 high placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they have made you desolateH8074, and swallowed you upH7602 on every sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and ye are taken upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkersH3956, and are an infamyH1681 of the peopleH5971: {Because: Heb. Because for because} {are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their own landH127, they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doingsH5949: their wayH1870 was beforeH6440 me as the uncleannessH2932 of a removed womanH5079.
Wherefore I pouredH8210 my furyH2534 upon them for the bloodH1818 that they had shedH8210 upon the landH776, and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it:
And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 through the countriesH776: according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And I will multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, and the increaseH8570 of the fieldH7704, that ye shall receiveH3947 no more reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathenH1471.
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
Not for your sakes doH6213 I this, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, be it knownH3045 unto you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own waysH1870, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from all your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129.
And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilledH5647, whereas it lay desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of all that passed byH5674.
And they shall sayH559, ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is become like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fencedH1219, and are inhabitedH3427.
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
As the holyH6944 flockH6629, as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feastsH4150; so shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of menH120: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {holy…: Heb. flock of holy things}
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the enemyH341 hath saidH559 against you, AhaH1889, even the ancientH5769 high placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they have made you desolateH8074, and swallowed you upH7602 on every sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and ye are taken upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkersH3956, and are an infamyH1681 of the peopleH5971: {Because: Heb. Because for because} {are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their own landH127, they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doingsH5949: their wayH1870 was beforeH6440 me as the uncleannessH2932 of a removed womanH5079.
Wherefore I pouredH8210 my furyH2534 upon them for the bloodH1818 that they had shedH8210 upon the landH776, and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it:
And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 through the countriesH776: according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And I will multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, and the increaseH8570 of the fieldH7704, that ye shall receiveH3947 no more reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathenH1471.
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
Not for your sakes doH6213 I this, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, be it knownH3045 unto you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own waysH1870, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from all your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129.
And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilledH5647, whereas it lay desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of all that passed byH5674.
And they shall sayH559, ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is become like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fencedH1219, and are inhabitedH3427.
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
As the holyH6944 flockH6629, as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feastsH4150; so shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of menH120: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {holy…: Heb. flock of holy things}
The sameG1722+G1565 dayG2250 wentG1831 JesusG2424 out ofG575 the houseG3614, and satG2521 byG3844 the sea sideG2281.
AndG2532 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 were gathered togetherG4863 untoG4314 himG846, so thatG5620 heG846 wentG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143, and satG2521; andG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3793 stoodG2476 onG1909 the shoreG123.
AndG2532 he spakeG2980 many thingsG4183 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, a sowerG4687 went forthG1831 to sowG4687;
AndG2532 whenG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739+G3303 seeds fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846 upG2719:
SomeG1161+G243 fellG4098 uponG1909 stony placesG4075, whereG3699 they hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093: andG2532 forthwithG2112 they sprung upG1816, becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 deepnessG899 of earthG1093:
AndG1161 when the sunG2246 was upG393, they were scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, they withered awayG3583.
AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprung upG305, andG2532 chokedG638 themG846:
ButG1161 otherG243 fellG4098 intoG1909 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 brought forthG1325 fruitG2590, someG3739+G3303 an hundredfoldG1540+G1161, someG3739 sixtyfoldG1835+G1161, someG3739 thirtyfoldG5144.
WhoG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG2532 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG1302 speakest thouG2980 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850?
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.
AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of EsaiasG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492:
ForG1063 thisG5127 people'sG2992 heartG2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG5216 eyesG3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG5216 earsG3775, forG3754 they hearG191.
ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.
HearG191 yeG5210 thereforeG3767 the parableG3850 of the sowerG4687.
When anyG3956 one hearethG191 the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932, andG2532 understandethG4920 it notG3361, then comethG2064 the wickedG4190 one, andG2532 catcheth awayG726 that whichG3588 was sownG4687 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588. ThisG3778 isG2076 he which received seedG4687 byG3844 the way sideG3598.
ButG1161 he that received the seedG4687 intoG1909 stony placesG4075, the sameG3778 isG2076 he that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 anonG2117 withG3326 joyG5479 receivethG2983 itG846;
YetG1161 hath heG2192 notG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 himselfG1438, butG235 durethG2076 for a whileG4340: forG1161 when tribulationG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, by and byG2117 he is offendedG4624. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}
He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175.
ButG1161 he that received seedG4687 intoG1909 the goodG2570 groundG1093 isG2076 heG3778 that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 understandethG4920 it; whichG3739 alsoG1211 beareth fruitG2592, andG2532 bringeth forthG4160, someG3739+G3303 an hundredfoldG1540+G1161, someG3739 sixtyG1835+G1161, someG3739 thirtyG5144.
AndG2532 he beganG756 againG3825 to teachG1321 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: andG2532 there was gatheredG4863 untoG4314 himG846 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, so thatG5620 heG846 enteredG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143, and satG2521 inG1722 the seaG2281; andG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3793 wasG2258 byG4314 the seaG2281 onG1909 the landG1093.
AndG2532 he taughtG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183 byG1722 parablesG3850, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG1322,
HearkenG191; BeholdG2400, there went outG1831 a sowerG4687 to sowG4687:
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 he sowedG4687, someG3739+G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 of the airG3772 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 itG846 upG2719.
AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 onG1909 stony groundG4075, whereG3699 it hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093; andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it sprang upG1816, becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of earthG1093:
ButG1161 whenG393 the sunG2246 was upG393, it was scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, it withered awayG3583.
AndG2532 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG173, andG2532 the thornsG173 grew upG305, andG2532 chokedG4846 itG846, andG2532 it yieldedG1325 noG3756 fruitG2590.
AndG2532 otherG243 fellG4098 onG1519 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 did yieldG1325 fruitG2590 that sprang upG305 andG2532 increasedG837; andG2532 brought forthG5342, someG1520 thirtyG5144, andG2532 someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG1161 whenG3753 he wasG1096 aloneG2651, they that were aboutG4012 himG846 withG4862 the twelveG1427 askedG2065 of himG846 the parableG3850.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Unto youG5213 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteryG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: butG1161 unto themG1565 that are withoutG1854, all these thingsG3956 are doneG1096 inG1722 parablesG3850:
ThatG2443 seeingG991 they may seeG991, andG2532 notG3361 perceiveG1492; andG2532 hearingG191 they may hearG191, andG2532 notG3361 understandG4920; lest at any timeG3379 they should be convertedG1994, andG2532 their sinsG265 should be forgivenG863 themG846.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Know yeG1492 notG3756 thisG5026 parableG3850? andG2532 how thenG4459 will ye knowG1097 allG3956 parablesG3850?
The sowerG4687 sowethG4687 the wordG3056.
AndG1161 theseG3778 are theyG1526 byG3844 the way sideG3598, whereG3699 the wordG3056 is sownG4687; butG2532 whenG3752 they have heardG191, SatanG4567 comethG2064 immediatelyG2112, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 that was sownG4687 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588.
AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1526 likewiseG3668 which are sownG4687 onG1909 stony groundG4075; whoG3739, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2112 receiveG2983 itG846 withG3326 gladnessG5479;
AndG2532 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 themselvesG1438, andG235 so endureG1526 but for a timeG4340: afterwardG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 forG1223 the word's sakeG3056, immediatelyG2112 they are offendedG4624. {offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin}
AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1526 they which areG1526 sownG4687 amongG1519 thornsG173; such asG3778 hearG191 the wordG3056,
AndG2532 the caresG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, andG2532 the lustsG1939 ofG4012 other thingsG3062 entering inG1531, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 it becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. {lusts: or, inordinate desires}
AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1526 they which are sownG4687 onG1909 goodG2570 groundG1093; such asG3748 hearG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 receiveG3858 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592, someG1520 thirtyfoldG5144, someG2532+G1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
AndG1161 when muchG4183 peopleG3793 were gathered togetherG4896, andG2532 were comeG1975 toG4314 himG846 out of everyG2596 cityG4172, he spakeG2036 byG1223 a parableG3850:
A sowerG4687 went outG1831 to sowG4687 hisG846 seedG4703: andG2532 asG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739+G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598; andG2532 it was trodden downG2662, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 of the airG3772 devouredG2719 itG846.
AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 uponG1909 a rockG4073; andG2532 as soon as it was sprung upG5453, it withered awayG3583, becauseG1223 it lackedG3361+G2192 moistureG2429.
AndG2532 someG2087 fellG4098 amongG1722+G3319 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprang up with itG4855, and chokedG638+G1970 itG846.
AndG2532 otherG2087 fellG4098 onG1909 goodG18 groundG1093, andG2532 sprang upG5453, and bareG4160 fruitG2590 an hundredfoldG1542. And when he had saidG3004 these thingsG5023, he criedG5455, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 mightG1498 thisG3778 parableG3850 beG1498?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, Unto youG5213 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: butG1161 to othersG3062 inG1722 parablesG3850; thatG2443 seeingG991 they mightG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 hearingG191 they mightG4920 notG3361 understandG4920.
NowG1161 the parableG3850 isG2076 thisG3778: The seedG4703 isG2076 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
ThoseG1161 byG3844 the way sideG3598 areG1526 they that hearG191; thenG1534 comethG2064 the devilG1228, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 out ofG575 theirG846 heartsG2588, lestG3363 they should believeG4100 and be savedG4982.
They onG1909 the rockG4073 are they, whichG3739, whenG3752 they hearG191, receiveG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 joyG5479; andG2532 theseG3778 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491, whichG3739 forG4314 a whileG2540 believeG4100, andG2532 inG1722 timeG2540 of temptationG3986 fall awayG868.
AndG1161 that which fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG173 areG1526 theyG3778, which, when they have heardG191, go forthG4198, andG2532 are chokedG4846 withG5259 caresG3308 andG2532 richesG4149 andG2532 pleasuresG2237 of this lifeG979, andG2532 bringG5052 noG3756 fruit to perfectionG5052.
ButG1161 that onG1722 the goodG2570 groundG1093 areG1526 theyG3778, whichG3748 inG1722 an honestG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056, keepG2722 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281.
WhoG3739 shall tellG2980 theeG4314+G4571 wordsG4487, wherebyG1722+G3739 thouG4771 andG2532 allG3956 thyG4675 houseG3624 shall be savedG4982.
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?
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}
MarvelG2296 notG3361 thatG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, YeG5209 mustG1163 be bornG1080 againG509. {again: or, from above}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756+G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240: forG3754 loveG26 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316; andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316, andG2532 knowethG1097 GodG2316.
WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076 the ChristG5547 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 him that begatG1080 lovethG25 him alsoG2532 that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 himG846.
ForG3754 whatsoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 overcomethG3528 the worldG2889: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the victoryG3529 that overcomethG3528 the worldG2889, even ourG2257 faithG4102.
As thou knowestH3045 not what is the wayH1870 of the spiritH7307, nor how the bonesH6106 do grow in the wombH990 of her that is with childH4392: even so thou knowestH3045 not the worksH4639 of GodH430 who makethH6213 all.
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.
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}
WhereforeG1223+G5124, asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 manG444 sinG266 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 deathG2288 byG1223 sinG266; andG2532 soG3779 deathG2288 passedG1330 uponG1519 allG3956 menG444, forG1909 thatG3739 allG3956 have sinnedG264: {for that: or, in whom}
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, butG235 inG1722 powerG1411.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 yeG5210 allG3956, amongG1722 whomG3739 I have goneG1330 preachingG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, shall seeG3700 myG3450 faceG4383 no moreG3765.
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
He shall have dominionH7287 also from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776.
They that dwell in the wildernessH6728 shall bowH3766 beforeH6440 him; and his enemiesH341 shall lickH3897 the dustH6083.
The kingsH4428 of TarshishH8659 and of the islesH339 shall bringH7725 presentsH4503: the kingsH4428 of ShebaH7614 and SebaH5434 shall offerH7126 giftsH814.
Yea, all kingsH4428 shall fall downH7812 before him: all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And in the daysH3118 of theseH581 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 set upH6966 a kingdomH4437, which shall neverH5957+H3809 be destroyedH2255: and the kingdomH4437 shall notH3809 be leftH7662 to otherH321 peopleH5972, but it shall break in piecesH1855 and consumeH5487 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and itH1932 shall standH6966 for everH5957. {the days: Cald. their days} {the kingdom: Cald the kingdom thereof}
And there was givenH3052 him dominionH7985, and gloryH3367, and a kingdomH4437, that allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, should serveH6399 him: his dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, which shall notH3809 pass awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255.
And the kingdomH4437 and dominionH7985, and the greatnessH7238 of the kingdomH4437 underH8460 the wholeH3606 heavenH8065, shall be givenH3052 to the peopleH5972 of the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, whose kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and allH3606 dominionsH7985 shall serveH6399 and obeyH8086 him. {dominions: or, rulers}
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
AndG2532 they shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395, andG2532 from the westG1424, andG2532 fromG575 the northG1005, andG2532 from the southG3558, andG2532 shall sit downG347 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 westG1424, andG2532 shall sit downG347 withG3326 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 a masterG1320 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 knowestG1097 notG3756 these thingsG5023?
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
ForG2532+G1063 unto us wasG2070 the gospel preachedG2097, as well asG2509 unto themG2548: butG235 the wordG3056 preachedG189 didG5623 notG3756 profitG5623 themG1565, notG3361 being mixedG4786 with faithG4102 in them that heardG191 it. {the word…: Gr. the word of hearing} {not being…: or, because they were not united by faith to}
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}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
These thingsG5023 have I writtenG1125 unto youG5213 that believeG4100 onG1519 the nameG3686 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316; thatG2443 ye may knowG1492 that yeG3754 haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thatG2443 ye may believeG4100 onG1519 the nameG3686 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
That which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076 fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 spiritG4151.
ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3962 raiseth upG1453 the deadG3498, andG2532 quickenethG2227 them; evenG2532 soG3779 the SonG5207 quickenethG2227 whomG3739 he willG2309.
The LORDH3068 is the portionH4490 of mine inheritanceH2506 and of my cupH3563: thou maintainestH8551 my lotH1486. {of mine…: Heb. of my part}
The linesH2256 are fallenH5307 unto me in pleasantH5273 places; yea, I have a goodlyH8231 heritageH5159.
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.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thisG3778 lifeG2222 isG2076 inG1722 hisG846 SonG5207.
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
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:
And manyH7227 of them that sleepH3463 in the dustH6083 of the earthH127 shall awakeH6974, some to everlastingH5769 lifeH2416, and some to shameH2781 and everlastingH5769 contemptH1860.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thisG3778 lifeG2222 isG2076 inG1722 hisG846 SonG5207.
ButG1161 IG1473 have prayedG1189 forG4012 theeG4675, thatG3363 thyG4675 faithG4102 failG1587 notG3363: andG2532 whenG4218 thouG4771 art convertedG1994, strengthenG4741 thyG4675 brethrenG80.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
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?
(ForG2532 the lifeG2222 was manifestedG5319, andG2532 we have seenG3708 it, andG2532 bear witnessG3140, andG2532 shewG518 unto youG5213 that eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3748 wasG2258 withG4314 the FatherG3962, andG2532 was manifestedG5319 unto usG2254;)
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076 some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761, asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 eternalG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 thisG3778 lifeG2222 isG2076 inG1722 hisG846 SonG5207.
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.
NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 itG302 shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014.
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
BrethrenG80, ifG1437 anyG5100 ofG1722 youG5213 do errG4105 fromG575 the truthG225, andG2532 oneG5100 convertG1994 himG846;
LetG1097 himG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 he which convertethG1994 the sinnerG268 fromG1537 the errorG4106 of hisG846 wayG3598 shall saveG4982 a soulG5590 fromG1537 deathG2288, andG2532 shall hideG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266.
