That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 unto himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621.
ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756+G2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153.
I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624.
SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord'sG2962 debtorsG5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG3450 lordG2962?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. {measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}
ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. {measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633. {mammon: or, riches}
He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.
IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches? {mammon: or, riches}
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man'sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212?
NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
AndG1161 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG5023: andG2532 they deridedG1592 himG846.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they which justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
The lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 were untilG2193 JohnG2491: sinceG575 that timeG5119 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is preachedG2097, andG2532 every manG3956 pressethG971 intoG1519 itG846.
AndG1161 it isG2076 easierG2123 for heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 to passG3928, thanG2228 oneG3391 tittleG2762 of the lawG3551 to failG4098.
WhosoeverG3956 putteth awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 marriethG1060 anotherG2087, committeth adulteryG3431: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 marriethG1060 her that is put awayG630 fromG575 her husbandG435 committeth adulteryG3431.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250:
AndG1161 there wasG2258 a certainG5100 beggarG4434 namedG3686 LazarusG2976, whichG3739 was laidG906 atG4314 hisG846 gateG4440, full of soresG1669,
AndG2532 desiringG1937 to be fedG5526 withG575 the crumbsG5589 whichG3588 fellG4098 fromG575 the rich man'sG4145 tableG5132: moreoverG235+G2532 the dogsG2965 cameG2064 and lickedG621 hisG846 soresG1668.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the beggarG4434 diedG599, andG2532 was carriedG667 byG5259 the angelsG32 intoG1519 Abraham'sG11 bosomG2859: the rich manG4145 alsoG1161+G2532 diedG599, andG2532 was buriedG2290;
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
AndG2532+G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
AndG2532 besideG1909 allG3956 thisG5125, betweenG3342 usG2257 andG2532 youG5216 there isG4741 a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they which wouldG2309 passG1224 from henceG1782 toG4314 youG5209 cannotG3361+G1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG2248, that would come from thenceG1564.
ThenG1161 he saidG2036, I prayG2065 theeG4571 thereforeG3767, fatherG3962, thatG2443 thou wouldest sendG3992 himG846 toG1519 myG3450 father'sG3962 houseG3624:
ForG1063 I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brethrenG80; thatG3704 he may testifyG1263 unto themG846, lestG3363 theyG846 alsoG2532 comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG5126 placeG5117 of tormentG931.
AbrahamG11 saithG3004 unto himG846, They haveG2192 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396; let them hearG191 themG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, NayG3780, fatherG3962 AbrahamG11: butG235 ifG1437 oneG5100 wentG4198 untoG4314 themG846 fromG575 the deadG3498, they will repentG3340.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
AndG2532 they stonedG3036 StephenG4736, calling uponG1941 God, andG2532 sayingG3004, LordG2962 JesusG2424, receiveG1209 myG3450 spiritG4151.
ForG2532+G1063 we that areG5607 inG1722 this tabernacleG4636 do groanG4727, being burdenedG916: notG3756 for thatG1894 we wouldG2309 be unclothedG1562, butG235 clothed uponG1902, thatG2443 mortalityG2349 might be swallowed upG2666 ofG5259 lifeG2222.
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
MarvelG2296 notG3361 at thisG5124: forG3754 the hourG5610 is comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 allG3956 that are inG1722 the gravesG3419 shall hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456,
AndG2532 shall come forthG1607; they that have doneG4160 goodG18, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222; andG1161 they that have doneG4238 evilG5337, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of damnationG2920.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 thronesG2362, andG2532 they satG2523 uponG1909 themG846, andG2532 judgmentG2917 was givenG1325 unto themG846: andG2532 I saw the soulsG5590 of them that were beheadedG3990 forG1223 the witnessG3141 of JesusG2424, andG2532 forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 whichG3748 hadG4352 notG3756 worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, neitherG3777 hisG846 imageG1504+G2532, neitherG3756 had receivedG2983 his markG5480 uponG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359, orG2532 inG1909 theirG846 handsG5495; andG2532 they livedG2198 andG2532 reignedG936 withG3326 ChristG5547 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
ButG1161 the restG3062 of the deadG3498 livedG326 notG3756 againG326 untilG2193 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 were finishedG5055. ThisG3778 is the firstG4413 resurrectionG386.
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
ThenG1534 cometh the endG5056, whenG3752 he shall have delivered upG3860 the kingdomG932 to GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; whenG3752 he shall have put downG2673 allG3956 ruleG746 andG2532 allG3956 authorityG1849 andG2532 powerG1411.
ButG1161 every manG1538 inG1722 his ownG2398 orderG5001: ChristG5547 the firstfruitsG536; afterwardG1899 they that areG3588 Christ'sG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
To himG5129 the porterG2377 openethG455; andG2532 the sheepG4263 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456: andG2532 he callethG2564 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 byG2596 nameG3686, andG2532 leadethG1806 themG846 outG1806.
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG1417, havingG2192 a desireG1939 toG1519 departG360, andG2532 to beG1511 withG4862 ChristG5547; which is farG4183+G3123 betterG2908:
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
AndG2532 they stonedG3036 StephenG4736, calling uponG1941 God, andG2532 sayingG3004, LordG2962 JesusG2424, receiveG1209 myG3450 spiritG4151.
AndG1161 he kneeled downG5087+G1119, and criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, LordG2962, layG2476 notG3361 thisG5026 sinG266 to theirG846 charge. AndG2532 when he had saidG2036 thisG5124, he fell asleepG2837.
AndG2532 saidG2036, BeholdG2400, I seeG2334 the heavensG3772 openedG455, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
NowG2235 yeG5210 areG2075 cleanG2513 throughG1223 the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 unto youG5213.
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 he kneeled downG5087+G1119, and criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, LordG2962, layG2476 notG3361 thisG5026 sinG266 to theirG846 charge. AndG2532 when he had saidG2036 thisG5124, he fell asleepG2837.
ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 manyG4183 are weakG772 andG2532 sicklyG732 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 manyG2425 sleepG2837.
ThenG686 they alsoG2532 which are fallen asleepG2837 inG1722 ChristG5547 are perishedG622.
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, Awake thouG1453 that sleepestG2518, andG2532 ariseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 ChristG5547 shall giveG2017 theeG4671 lightG2017. {he: or, it}
ForG1063 to meG1698 to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599 is gainG2771.
ButG1161 ifG1487 I liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561, thisG5124 is the fruitG2590 of my labourG2041+G3427: yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138 I wotG1107 notG3756.
ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG1417, havingG2192 a desireG1939 toG1519 departG360, andG2532 to beG1511 withG4862 ChristG5547; which is farG4183+G3123 betterG2908:
AndG2532 whenG3753 he had openedG455 the fifthG3991 sealG4973, I sawG1492 underG5270 the altarG2379 the soulsG5590 of them that were slainG4969 forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 forG1223 the testimonyG3141 whichG3739 they heldG2192:
AndG2532 they criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, HowG2193 longG4219, O LordG1203, holyG40 andG2532 trueG228, dost thouG2919 notG3756 judgeG2919 andG2532 avengeG1556 ourG2257 bloodG129 onG575 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093?
AndG2532 whiteG3022 robesG4749 were givenG1325 unto every one of themG1538; andG2532 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, thatG2443 they should restG373 yetG2089 for a littleG3398 seasonG5550, untilG2193 theirG846 fellowservantsG4889 alsoG2532 andG2532 theirG846 brethrenG80, that shouldG3195 be killedG615 asG5613+G2532 theyG846 were, shouldG3739 be fulfilledG4137.
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
AndG2532+G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
AndG2532 besideG1909 allG3956 thisG5125, betweenG3342 usG2257 andG2532 youG5216 there isG4741 a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they which wouldG2309 passG1224 from henceG1782 toG4314 youG5209 cannotG3361+G1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG2248, that would come from thenceG1564.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a greatG3173 whiteG3022 throneG2362, andG2532 him that satG2521 onG1909 itG846, fromG575 whoseG3739 faceG4383 the earthG1093 andG2532 the heavenG3772 fled awayG5343; andG2532 there was foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for themG846.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the deadG3498, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 the booksG975 were openedG455: andG2532 anotherG243 bookG975 was openedG455, whichG3739 isG2076 the book of lifeG2222: andG2532 the deadG3498 were judgedG2919 out ofG1537 those things which were writtenG1125 inG1722 the booksG975, according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 the seaG2281 gave upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 itG846; andG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 delivered upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 themG846: andG2532 they were judgedG2919 every manG1538 according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041. {hell: or, the grave}
AndG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 were castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442. ThisG3778 isG2076 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
AndG2532 whosoeverG1536 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
AndG2532 the remnantG3062 were slainG615 withG1722 the swordG4501 of him that satG2521 uponG1909 the horseG2462, whichG3588 sword proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750: andG2532 allG3956 the fowlsG3732 were filledG5526 withG1537 theirG846 fleshG4561.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ThenG5119 saidG2036 the kingG935 to the servantsG1249, BindG1210 himG846 handG5495 andG2532 footG4228, and takeG142 himG846 awayG142, andG2532 castG1544 him intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655; thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
ButG1161 they held their peaceG4623: forG1063 byG1722 the wayG3598 they had disputedG1256 amongG4314 themselvesG240, whoG5101 should be the greatestG3187.
WhereG3699 theirG846 wormG4663 diethG5053 notG3756, andG2532 the fireG4442 isG4570 notG3756 quenchedG4570.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
AndG2532 they stonedG3036 StephenG4736, calling uponG1941 God, andG2532 sayingG3004, LordG2962 JesusG2424, receiveG1209 myG3450 spiritG4151.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 of this tabernacleG4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 ofG1537 GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG886, eternalG166 inG1722 the heavensG3772.
ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG1417, havingG2192 a desireG1939 toG1519 departG360, andG2532 to beG1511 withG4862 ChristG5547; which is farG4183+G3123 betterG2908:
WhoG3739 shall changeG3345 ourG2257 vileG5014 bodyG4983, thatG1519 itG846 may beG1096 fashioned like untoG4832 hisG846 gloriousG1391 bodyG4983, according toG2596 the workingG1753 whereby heG846 is ableG1410 evenG2532 to subdueG5293 all thingsG3956 unto himselfG1438.
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG38, that yeG5209 should abstainG567 fromG575 fornicationG4202:
That every oneG1538 of youG5216 should knowG1492 how to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG38 andG2532 honourG5092;
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG167, butG235 untoG1722 holinessG38.
He thereforeG5105 that despisethG114, despisethG114 notG3756 manG444, butG235 GodG2316, who hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG846 holyG40 SpiritG4151. {despiseth: or, rejecteth}
ButG1161 as touchingG4012 brotherly loveG5360 ye needG2192+G5532 notG3756 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213: forG1063 yeG5210 yourselvesG846 areG2075 taught of GodG2312 toG1519 loveG25 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123;
AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to work withG2038 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213;
ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367. {of…: or, of no man}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
AndG2532 I sawG1492 an angelG32 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, havingG2192 the keyG2807 of the bottomless pitG12 andG2532 a greatG3173 chainG254 inG1909 hisG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 he laid hold onG2902 the dragonG1404, that oldG744 serpentG3789, whichG3739 isG2076 the DevilG1228, andG2532 SatanG4567, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094,
AndG2532 castG906 himG846 intoG1519 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 shutG2808 himG846 upG2808, andG2532 set a sealG4972 uponG1883 himG846, thatG3363 he should deceiveG4105 the nationsG1484 noG3363 moreG2089, tillG891 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 should be fulfilledG5055: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 heG846 mustG1163 be loosedG3089 a littleG3398 seasonG5550.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 thronesG2362, andG2532 they satG2523 uponG1909 themG846, andG2532 judgmentG2917 was givenG1325 unto themG846: andG2532 I saw the soulsG5590 of them that were beheadedG3990 forG1223 the witnessG3141 of JesusG2424, andG2532 forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 whichG3748 hadG4352 notG3756 worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, neitherG3777 hisG846 imageG1504+G2532, neitherG3756 had receivedG2983 his markG5480 uponG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359, orG2532 inG1909 theirG846 handsG5495; andG2532 they livedG2198 andG2532 reignedG936 withG3326 ChristG5547 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
ButG1161 the restG3062 of the deadG3498 livedG326 notG3756 againG326 untilG2193 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 were finishedG5055. ThisG3778 is the firstG4413 resurrectionG386.
BlessedG3107 andG2532 holyG40 is he that hathG2192 partG3313 inG1722 the firstG4413 resurrectionG386: onG1909 suchG5130 the secondG1208 deathG2288 hathG2192 noG3756 powerG1849, butG235 they shall beG2071 priestsG2409 of GodG2316 andG2532 of ChristG5547, andG2532 shall reignG936 withG3326 himG846 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 whenG3752 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 are expiredG5055, SatanG4567 shall be loosedG3089 out ofG1537 hisG846 prisonG5438,
AndG2532 shall go outG1831 to deceiveG4105 the nationsG1484 whichG3588 are inG1722 the fourG5064 quartersG1137 of the earthG1093, GogG1136 andG2532 MagogG3098, to gatherG4863 themG846 togetherG4863 toG1519 battleG4171: the numberG706 of whomG3739 is asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281.
AndG2532 they went upG305 onG1909 the breadthG4114 of the earthG1093, andG2532 compassedG2944 the campG3925 of the saintsG40 aboutG2944, andG2532 the belovedG25 cityG4172: andG2532 fireG4442 came downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846.
AndG2532 the devilG1228 that deceivedG4105 themG846 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303, whereG3699 the beastG2342 andG2532 the false prophetG5578 are, andG2532 shall be tormentedG928 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a greatG3173 whiteG3022 throneG2362, andG2532 him that satG2521 onG1909 itG846, fromG575 whoseG3739 faceG4383 the earthG1093 andG2532 the heavenG3772 fled awayG5343; andG2532 there was foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for themG846.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the deadG3498, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 the booksG975 were openedG455: andG2532 anotherG243 bookG975 was openedG455, whichG3739 isG2076 the book of lifeG2222: andG2532 the deadG3498 were judgedG2919 out ofG1537 those things which were writtenG1125 inG1722 the booksG975, according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 the seaG2281 gave upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 itG846; andG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 delivered upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 themG846: andG2532 they were judgedG2919 every manG1538 according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041. {hell: or, the grave}
AndG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 were castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442. ThisG3778 isG2076 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
AndG2532 whosoeverG1536 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442.
AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 unto himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621.
ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756+G2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153.
I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624.
SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord'sG2962 debtorsG5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG3450 lordG2962?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. {measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}
ThenG1899 said heG2036 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG2036, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4675 billG1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. {measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633. {mammon: or, riches}
He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.
IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches? {mammon: or, riches}
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man'sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212?
NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756+G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126.
AndG1161 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG5023: andG2532 they deridedG1592 himG846.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they which justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
The lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 were untilG2193 JohnG2491: sinceG575 that timeG5119 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is preachedG2097, andG2532 every manG3956 pressethG971 intoG1519 itG846.
AndG1161 it isG2076 easierG2123 for heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 to passG3928, thanG2228 oneG3391 tittleG2762 of the lawG3551 to failG4098.
WhosoeverG3956 putteth awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 marriethG1060 anotherG2087, committeth adulteryG3431: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 marriethG1060 her that is put awayG630 fromG575 her husbandG435 committeth adulteryG3431.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250:
AndG1161 there wasG2258 a certainG5100 beggarG4434 namedG3686 LazarusG2976, whichG3739 was laidG906 atG4314 hisG846 gateG4440, full of soresG1669,
AndG2532 desiringG1937 to be fedG5526 withG575 the crumbsG5589 whichG3588 fellG4098 fromG575 the rich man'sG4145 tableG5132: moreoverG235+G2532 the dogsG2965 cameG2064 and lickedG621 hisG846 soresG1668.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the beggarG4434 diedG599, andG2532 was carriedG667 byG5259 the angelsG32 intoG1519 Abraham'sG11 bosomG2859: the rich manG4145 alsoG1161+G2532 diedG599, andG2532 was buriedG2290;
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
AndG2532+G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
AndG2532 besideG1909 allG3956 thisG5125, betweenG3342 usG2257 andG2532 youG5216 there isG4741 a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they which wouldG2309 passG1224 from henceG1782 toG4314 youG5209 cannotG3361+G1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG2248, that would come from thenceG1564.
ThenG1161 he saidG2036, I prayG2065 theeG4571 thereforeG3767, fatherG3962, thatG2443 thou wouldest sendG3992 himG846 toG1519 myG3450 father'sG3962 houseG3624:
ForG1063 I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brethrenG80; thatG3704 he may testifyG1263 unto themG846, lestG3363 theyG846 alsoG2532 comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG5126 placeG5117 of tormentG931.
AbrahamG11 saithG3004 unto himG846, They haveG2192 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396; let them hearG191 themG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, NayG3780, fatherG3962 AbrahamG11: butG235 ifG1437 oneG5100 wentG4198 untoG4314 themG846 fromG575 the deadG3498, they will repentG3340.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
While they beholdG2029 yourG5216 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401.
WhoseG3739 adorningG2889 let itG2077 notG3756 beG2077 that outwardG1855 adorning of plaitingG1708 the hairG2359, andG2532 of wearingG4025 of goldG5553, orG2228 of putting onG1745 of apparelG2440;
ButG235 let it be the hiddenG2927 manG444 of the heartG2588, inG1722 that which is not corruptibleG862, even the ornament of a meekG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG2076 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 of great priceG4185.
ForG1063 after this mannerG3779 in the old timeG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, whoG3588 trustedG1679 inG1909 GodG2316, adornedG2885 themselvesG1438, being in subjectionG5293 unto their ownG2398 husbandsG435:
Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. {daughters: Gr. children}
LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG5216 prayersG4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581.
FinallyG1161+G5056, be ye allG3956 of one mindG3675, having compassion one of anotherG4835, love as brethrenG5361, be pitifulG2155, be courteousG5391: {love as: or, loving to the}
NotG3361 renderingG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556, orG2228 railingG3059 forG473 railingG3059: butG1161 contrariwiseG5121 blessingG2129; knowingG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2564 thereuntoG1519+G5124 calledG2564, thatG2443 ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2127.
ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG1492 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388:
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
ForG3754 the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are overG1909 the righteousG1342, andG2532 hisG846 earsG3775 are open untoG1519 theirG846 prayersG1162: butG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 them that doG4160 evilG2556. {against: Gr. upon}
AndG2532 whoG5101 is he that will harmG2559 youG5209, ifG1437 ye beG1096 followersG3402 of that which is goodG18?
ButG235 and ifG1499 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness' sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015;
ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG5209 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 that is inG1722 youG5213 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: {fear: or, reverence}
HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak evilG2635 of youG5216, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG5216 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG2307 of GodG2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554.
ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG2248 to GodG2316, being put to deathG2289+G3303 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG4151:
ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438;
Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519+G3739 fewG3641, that isG5123, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
ThereforeG1352 thou artG1488 inexcusableG379, OG5599 manG444, whosoeverG3956 thou art that judgestG2919: forG1063 whereinG1722+G3739 thou judgestG2919 anotherG2087, thou condemnestG2632 thyselfG4572; forG1063 thou that judgestG2919 doestG4238 the same thingsG846.
ButG1161 we are sureG1492 thatG3754 the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316 isG2076 accordingG2596 to truthG225 againstG1909 them which commitG4238 such thingsG5108.
AndG1161 thinkest thouG3049 thisG5124, OG5599 manG444, that judgestG2919 them which doG4238 such thingsG5108, andG2532 doestG4160 the sameG846, thatG3754 thouG4771 shalt escapeG1628 the judgmentG2917 of GodG2316?
OrG2228 despisest thouG2706 the richesG4149 of hisG846 goodnessG5544 andG2532 forbearanceG463 andG2532 longsufferingG3115; not knowingG50 thatG3754 the goodnessG5543 of GodG2316 leadethG71 theeG4571 toG1519 repentanceG3341?
ButG1161 afterG2596 thyG4675 hardnessG4643 andG2532 impenitentG279 heartG2588 treasurest upG2343 unto thyselfG4572 wrathG3709 againstG1722 the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 andG2532 revelationG602 of the righteous judgmentG1341 of GodG2316;
WhoG3739 will renderG591 to every manG1538 accordingG2596 to hisG846 deedsG2041:
To them who byG3303+G2596 patient continuanceG5281 in wellG18 doingG2041 seekG2212 for gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 immortalityG861, eternalG166 lifeG2222:
ButG1161 unto them that are contentiousG1537+G2052, andG2532 do not obeyG544+G3303 the truthG225, butG1161 obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, indignationG2372 andG2532 wrathG3709,
TribulationG2347 andG2532 anguishG4730, uponG1909 everyG3956 soulG5590 of manG444 that doethG2716 evilG2556, of the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 of the GentileG1672; {Gentile: Gr. Greek}
ButG1161+G2532 gloryG1391, honourG5092, andG2532 peaceG1515, to every manG3956 that workethG2038 goodG18, to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GentileG1672: {Gentile: Gr. Greek}
ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 respect of personsG4382 withG3844 GodG2316.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 have sinnedG264 without lawG460 shallG622 alsoG2532 perishG622 without lawG460: andG2532 as many asG3745 have sinnedG264 inG1722 the lawG3551 shall be judgedG2919 byG1223 the lawG3551;
(ForG1063 notG3756 the hearersG202 of the lawG3551 are justG1342 beforeG3844 GodG2316, butG235 the doersG4163 of the lawG3551 shall be justifiedG1344.
ForG1063 whenG3752 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 haveG2192 notG3361 the lawG3551, doG4160 by natureG5449 the thingsG3588 contained in the lawG3551, theseG3778, havingG2192 notG3361 the lawG3551, areG1526 a lawG3551 unto themselvesG1438:
WhichG3748 shewG1731 the workG2041 of the lawG3551 writtenG1123 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588, theirG846 conscienceG4893 also bearing witnessG4828, andG2532 their thoughtsG3053 the mean while accusingG2723 orG2228 elseG2532 excusingG626 one anotherG3342+G240;) {their conscience…: or, the conscience witnessing with them} {the mean…: or, between themselves}
InG1722 the dayG2250 whenG3753 GodG2316 shall judgeG2919 the secretsG2927 of menG444 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098.
BeholdG2396, thouG4771 art calledG2028 a JewG2453, andG2532 restestG1879 in the lawG3551, andG2532 makest thy boastG2744 ofG1722 GodG2316,
AndG2532 knowestG1097 his willG2307, andG2532 approvestG1381 the things that are more excellentG1308, being instructedG2727 out ofG1537 the lawG3551; {approvest…: or, triest the things that differ}
AndG5037 art confidentG3982 that thou thyselfG4572 artG1511 a guideG3595 of the blindG5185, a lightG5457 of them which are inG1722 darknessG4655,
An instructorG3810 of the foolishG878, a teacherG1320 of babesG3516, which hastG2192 the formG3446 of knowledgeG1108 andG2532 of the truthG225 inG1722 the lawG3551.
Thou thereforeG3767 whichG3588 teachestG1321 anotherG2087, teachest thouG1321 notG3756 thyselfG4572? thou that preachestG2784 a man shouldG2813 notG3361 stealG2813, dost thou stealG2813?
Thou that sayestG3004 a man shouldG3431 notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, dost thou commit adulteryG3431? thou that abhorrestG948 idolsG1497, dost thou commit sacrilegeG2416?
ThouG3739 that makest thy boastG2744 ofG1722 the lawG3551, throughG1223 breakingG3847 the lawG3551 dishonourest thouG818 GodG2316?
ForG1063 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 throughG1223 youG5209, asG2531 it is writtenG1125.
ForG1063 circumcisionG4061 verilyG3303 profitethG5623, ifG1437 thou keepG4238 the lawG3551: butG1161 ifG1437 thou beG5600 a breakerG3848 of the lawG3551, thyG4675 circumcisionG4061 is madeG1096 uncircumcisionG203.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the uncircumcisionG203 keepG5442 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551, shallG3049 notG3780 hisG846 uncircumcisionG203 be countedG3049 forG1519 circumcisionG4061?
AndG2532 shall notG2919 uncircumcisionG203 which is byG1537 natureG5449, if it fulfilG5055 the lawG3551, judgeG2919 theeG4571, who byG1223 the letterG1121 andG2532 circumcisionG4061 dost transgressG3848 the lawG3551?
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
That wasG2258 the trueG228 LightG5457, whichG3739 lightethG5461 every manG3956+G444 that comethG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
Now the serpentH5175 wasH1961 more subtilH6175 than any beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 GodH430 had madeH6213. And he saidH559 unto the womanH802, YeaH637, hath GodH430 saidH559, Ye shall not eatH398 of every treeH6086 of the gardenH1588? {Yea…: Heb. Yea, because, etc.}
And the womanH802 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, We may eatH398 of the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588:
But of the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 which is in the midstH8432 of the gardenH1588, GodH430 hath saidH559, Ye shall not eatH398 of it, neither shall ye touchH5060 it, lestH6435 ye dieH4191.
And the serpentH5175 saidH559 unto the womanH802, Ye shall not surelyH4191 dieH4191:
For GodH430 doth knowH3045 that in the dayH3117 ye eatH398 thereof, then your eyesH5869 shall be openedH6491, and ye shall be as godsH430, knowingH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451.
And when the womanH802 sawH7200 that the treeH6086 was goodH2896 for foodH3978, and that itH1931 was pleasantH8378 to the eyesH5869, and a treeH6086 to be desiredH2530 to make one wiseH7919, she tookH3947 of the fruit thereofH6529, and did eatH398, and gaveH5414 alsoH1571 unto her husbandH376 with her; and he did eatH398. {pleasant: Heb. a desire}
And the eyesH5869 of them bothH8147 were openedH6491, and theyH1992 knewH3045 that they were nakedH5903; and they sewedH8609 figH8384 leavesH5929 togetherH8609, and made themselvesH6213 apronsH2290. {aprons: or, things to gird about}
And they heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 walkingH1980 in the gardenH1588 in the coolH7307 of the dayH3117: and AdamH120 and his wifeH802 hid themselvesH2244 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 amongstH8432 the treesH6086 of the gardenH1588. {cool: Heb. wind}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 calledH7121 unto AdamH120, and saidH559 unto him, Where art thouH335?
And he saidH559, I heardH8085 thy voiceH6963 in the gardenH1588, and I was afraidH3372, because IH595 was nakedH5903; and I hid myselfH2244.
And he saidH559, WhoH4310 toldH5046 thee that thou wast nakedH5903? Hast thou eatenH398 of the treeH6086, whereof I commanded theeH6680 that thou shouldest notH1115 eatH398?
And the manH120 saidH559, The womanH802 whom thou gavestH5414 to be with meH5978, sheH1931 gaveH5414 me of the treeH6086, and I did eatH398.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the womanH802, What is this that thou hast doneH6213? And the womanH802 saidH559, The serpentH5175 beguiled meH5377, and I did eatH398.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559 unto the serpentH5175, Because thouH859 hast doneH6213 this, thou art cursedH779 above all cattleH929, and above every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704; upon thy bellyH1512 shalt thou goH3212, and dustH6083 shalt thou eatH398 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416:
And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
Unto the womanH802 he saidH559, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy sorrowH6093 and thy conceptionH2032; in sorrowH6089 thou shalt bring forthH3205 childrenH1121; and thy desireH8669 shall be to thy husbandH376, and he shall ruleH4910 over thee. {to thy…: or, subject to thy husband}
And unto AdamH121 he saidH559, Because thou hast hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of thy wifeH802, and hast eatenH398 of the treeH6086, of whichH834 I commanded theeH6680, sayingH559, Thou shalt not eatH398 of it: cursedH779 is the groundH127 for thy sake; in sorrowH6093 shalt thou eatH398 of it allH3605 the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416;
Thorns alsoH6975 and thistlesH1863 shall it bring forthH6779 to thee; and thou shalt eatH398 the herbH6212 of the fieldH7704; {bring…: Heb. cause to bud}
In the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou returnH7725 unto the groundH127; for out of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thouH859 art, and unto dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725.
And AdamH120 calledH7121 his wife'sH802 nameH8034 EveH2332; because she was the motherH517 of all livingH2416. {Eve: Heb. Chavah: that is Living}
Unto AdamH120 also and to his wifeH802 did the LORDH3068 GodH430 makeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 saidH559, BeholdH2005, the manH120 is become as oneH259 of us, to knowH3045 goodH2896 and evilH7451: and now, lest he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and takeH3947 also of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416, and eatH398, and liveH2425 for everH5769:
Therefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 sent him forthH7971 from the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731, to tillH5647 the groundH127 from whence he was takenH3947.
So he drove outH1644 the manH120; and he placedH7931 at the eastH6924 of the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 CherubimsH3742, and a flamingH3858 swordH2719 which turned every wayH2015, to keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
ThenG5119 began heG756 to upbraidG3679 the citiesG4172 whereinG1722+G3739 mostG4118 of hisG846 mighty worksG1411 were doneG1096, becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 notG3756:
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ'sG5547 steadG5228, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544 the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 onG1909 himG846.
