ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: {in meat…: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part}
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
The lightG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG2076 the eyeG3788: ifG1437 thereforeG3767 thineG4675 eyeG3788 beG5600 singleG573, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG2071 full of lightG5460.
ForG1063, brethrenG80, yeG5210 have been calledG2564 untoG1909 libertyG1657; onlyG3440 use notG3361 libertyG1657 forG1519 an occasionG874 to the fleshG4561, butG235 byG1223 loveG26 serveG1398 one anotherG240.
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 havingG2192 a shadowG4639 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, and notG3756 the veryG846 imageG1504 of the thingsG4229, canG1410 neverG3763 with thoseG846 sacrificesG2378 whichG3739 they offeredG4374 year by yearG2596+G1763 continuallyG1519+G1336 makeG5048 the comers thereuntoG4334 perfectG5048.
For the lifeH5315 of the fleshH1320 is in the bloodH1818: and I have givenH5414 it to you upon the altarH4196 to make an atonementH3722 for your soulsH5315: for it is the bloodH1818 that maketh an atonementH3722 for the soulH5315.
For it is the lifeH5315 of all fleshH1320; the bloodH1818 of it is for the lifeH5315 thereof: therefore I saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall eatH398 the bloodH1818 of no manner of fleshH1320: for the lifeH5315 of all fleshH1320 is the bloodH1818 thereof: whosoever eatethH398 it shall be cut offH3772.
Therefore will I divideH2505 him a portion with the greatH7227, and he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the strongH6099; because he hath poured outH6168 his soulH5315 unto deathH4194: and he was numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; and he bareH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, and made intercessionH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
Even asG5618 the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.
Unto AdamH120 also and to his wifeH802 did the LORDH3068 GodH430 makeH6213 coatsH3801 of skinsH5785, and clothed themH3847.
ButH389 fleshH1320 with the lifeH5315 thereof, which is the bloodH1818 thereof, shall ye not eatH398.
And the priestH3548 shall sprinkleH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and burnH6999 the fatH2459 for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
Him that is weakG770 in the faithG4102 receive yeG4355, butG1161 notG3361 toG1519 doubtfulG1261 disputationsG1253. {not…: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts}
ForG3303 oneG3739 believethG4100 that he may eatG5315 all thingsG3956: anotherG1161, who is weakG770, eatethG2068 herbsG3001.
LetG1848 notG3361 him that eatethG2068 despiseG1848 him that eatethG2068 notG3361; andG2532 letG2068 notG3361 him which eatethG2068 notG3361 judgeG2919 him that eatethG2068: forG1063 GodG2316 hath receivedG4355 himG846.
WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that judgestG2919 another man'sG245 servantG3610? to his ownG2398 masterG2962 he standethG4739 orG2228 fallethG4098. YeaG1161, he shall be holden upG2476: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to makeG2476 himG846 standG2476.
OneG3303 manG3739 esteemethG2919 one dayG2250 aboveG3844 anotherG2250+G1161: anotherG3739 esteemethG2919 everyG3956 dayG2250 alike. LetG4135 every manG1538 be fully persuadedG4135 inG1722 his ownG2398 mindG3563. {fully persuaded: or, fully assured}
He that regardethG5426 the dayG2250, regardethG5426 it unto the LordG2962; andG2532 he that regardethG5426 notG3361 the dayG2250, to the LordG2962 he dothG5426 notG3756 regardG5426 it. He that eatethG2068, eatethG2068 to the LordG2962, forG1063 he giveth GodG2316 thanksG2168; andG2532 he that eatethG2068 notG3361, to the LordG2962 he eatethG2068 notG3756, andG2532 giveth GodG2316 thanksG2168. {regardeth: or, observeth}
ForG1063 noneG3762 of usG2257 livethG2198 to himselfG1438, andG2532 no manG3762 diethG599 to himselfG1438.
ForG1063 whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198, we liveG2198 unto the LordG2962; and whetherG1437+G5037 we dieG599, we dieG599 unto the LordG2962: whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198 thereforeG3767, orG1437+G5037 dieG599, we areG2070 the Lord'sG2962.
ForG1063 toG1519 thisG5124 end ChristG5547 bothG2532 diedG599, andG2532 roseG450, andG2532 revivedG326, thatG2443 he might be LordG2961 bothG2532 of the deadG3498 andG2532 livingG2198.
ButG1161 whyG5101 dostG2919 thouG4771 judgeG2919 thyG4675 brotherG80? orG2228+G2532 whyG5101 dostG1848 thouG4771 set at noughtG1848 thyG4675 brotherG80? forG1063 we shallG3936 allG3956 stand beforeG3936 the judgment seatG968 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, As IG1473 liveG2198, saithG3004 the LordG2962+G3754, everyG3956 kneeG1119 shall bowG2578 to meG1698, andG2532 everyG3956 tongueG1100 shall confessG1843 to GodG2316.
SoG3767 thenG686 every oneG1538 of usG2257 shall giveG1325 accountG3056 ofG4012 himselfG1438 to GodG2316.
Let usG2919 not thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 one anotherG240 any moreG3371: butG235 judgeG2919 thisG5124 ratherG3123, that no manG3361 putG5087 a stumblingblockG4348 orG2228 an occasion to fallG4625 in his brother's wayG80.
I knowG1492, andG2532 am persuadedG3982 byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG3754 there is nothingG3762 uncleanG2839 ofG1223 itselfG1438: butG1508 to him that esteemethG3049 any thingG5100 to beG1511 uncleanG2839, to himG1565 it is uncleanG2839. {unclean: Gr. common}
ButG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 brotherG80 be grievedG3076 withG1223 thy meatG1033, nowG3765 walkest thouG4043 notG3765 charitablyG26+G2596. DestroyG622 notG3361 himG1565 with thyG4675 meatG1033, forG5228 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}
Let notG3361 thenG3767 yourG5216 goodG18 be evil spoken ofG987:
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 he that inG1722 these thingsG5125 servethG1398 ChristG5547 is acceptableG2101 to GodG2316, andG2532 approvedG1384 of menG444.
Let usG1377 thereforeG686+G3767 follow afterG1377 the things which make forG3588 peaceG1515, andG2532 things wherewithG1519 oneG240 may edifyG3619 anotherG240.
ForG1752 meatG1033 destroyG2647 notG3361 the workG2041 of GodG2316. All thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are pureG2513; butG235 it is evilG2556 for that manG444 who eatethG2068 withG1223 offenceG4348.
It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722+G3739 thyG4675 brotherG80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.
HastG2192 thouG4771 faithG4102? haveG2192 it toG2596 thyselfG4572 beforeG1799 GodG2316. HappyG3107 is he that condemnethG2919 notG3361 himselfG1438 inG1722 that thing whichG3739 he allowethG1381.
AndG1161 he that doubtethG1252 is damnedG2632 ifG1437 he eatG5315, becauseG3754 he eateth notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: forG1161 whatsoeverG3739+G3956 is notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102 isG2076 sinG266. {doubteth: or, discerneth and putteth a difference between meats} {damned: or, condemned, or liable to punishment}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}
ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770. {liberty: or, power}
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599?
ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519+G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624.
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
ForG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 by graceG5485 be a partakerG3348, whyG5101 am I evil spoken ofG987 for thatG5228 for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168? {grace: or, thanksgiving}
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
GiveG1096 none offenceG677, neitherG2532 to the JewsG2453, norG2532 to the GentilesG1672, norG2532 to the churchG1577 of GodG2316: {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: {in meat…: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part}
WhichG3739 areG2076 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG5547.
AndG1161 he that doubtethG1252 is damnedG2632 ifG1437 he eatG5315, becauseG3754 he eateth notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: forG1161 whatsoeverG3739+G3956 is notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102 isG2076 sinG266. {doubteth: or, discerneth and putteth a difference between meats} {damned: or, condemned, or liable to punishment}
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
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.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
NotG3756 that which goethG1525 intoG1519 the mouthG4750 defilethG2840 a manG444; butG235 that which comethG1607 out ofG1537 the mouthG4750, thisG5124 defilethG2840 a manG444.
AndG1161 asG5613 they went throughG1279 the citiesG4172, they deliveredG3860 themG846 the decreesG1378 for to keepG5442, that were ordainedG2919 ofG5259 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 whichG3588 were atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
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.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
ButG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 brotherG80 be grievedG3076 withG1223 thy meatG1033, nowG3765 walkest thouG4043 notG3765 charitablyG26+G2596. DestroyG622 notG3361 himG1565 with thyG4675 meatG1033, forG5228 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}
Let usG1377 thereforeG686+G3767 follow afterG1377 the things which make forG3588 peaceG1515, andG2532 things wherewithG1519 oneG240 may edifyG3619 anotherG240.
And whatsoever manH376 there be of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481 amongH8432 you, that eatethH398 any manner of bloodH1818; I will even setH5414 my faceH6440 against that soulH5315 that eatethH398 bloodH1818, and will cut him offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971.
AndG2532 byG1722 himG5129 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475.
WhereG4226 is boastingG2746 thenG3767? It is excludedG1576. ByG1223 whatG4169 lawG3551? of worksG2041? NayG3780: butG235 byG1223 the lawG3551 of faithG4102.
ThereforeG3767 we concludeG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 withoutG5565 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551.
Is heG2228 the GodG2316 of the JewsG2453 onlyG3440? is he notG3780 alsoG1161+G2532 of the GentilesG1484? YesG3483, of the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532:
SeeingG1897 it is oneG1520 GodG2316, whichG3739 shall justifyG1344 the circumcisionG4061 byG1537 faithG4102, andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 throughG1223 faithG4102.
Do weG2673 thenG3767 make voidG2673 the lawG3551 throughG1223 faithG4102? God forbidG3361+G1096: yeaG235, we establishG2476 the lawG3551.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
NowG1161 as touchingG4012 things offered unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 we allG3956 haveG2192 knowledgeG1108. KnowledgeG1108 puffeth upG5448, butG1161 charityG26 edifiethG3618.
AndG1161 if any manG1536 thinkG1380 that he knowethG1492 any thingG5100, he knowethG1097 nothingG3762 yetG3764 asG2531 he oughtG1163 to knowG1097.
ButG1161 if any manG1536 loveG25 GodG2316, the sameG3778 is knownG1097 ofG5259 himG846.
As concerningG4012 thereforeG3767 the eatingG1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noneG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1508 oneG1520.
ForG1063 thoughG1512+G2532 there beG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG1093, (asG5618 there beG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,)
ButG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846. {in: or, for}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}
ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770. {liberty: or, power}
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599?
ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519+G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50, how thatG3754 allG3956 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wereG2258 underG5259 the cloudG3507, andG2532 allG3956 passedG1330 throughG1223 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 wereG907 allG3956 baptizedG907 untoG1519 MosesG3475 inG1722 the cloudG3507 andG2532 inG1722 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 didG5315 allG3956 eatG5315 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 meatG1033;
AndG2532 didG4095 allG3956 drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4188: forG1063 they drankG4095 ofG1537 that spiritualG4152 RockG4073 that followed themG190: andG1161 that RockG4073 wasG2258 ChristG5547. {followed…: or, went with them}
ButG235 withG1722 manyG4119 of themG846 GodG2316 wasG2106 notG3756 well pleasedG2106: forG1063 they were overthrownG2693 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
NowG1161 these thingsG5023 wereG1096 ourG2257 examplesG5179, to the intentG1519 weG2248 shouldG1511 notG3361 lust after evilG2556 thingsG1938, asG2531 they alsoG2548 lustedG1937. {our…: Gr. our figures}
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
NeitherG3366 let us commit fornicationG4203, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 committedG4203, andG2532 fellG4098 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250 threeG5140 and twentyG1501 thousandG5505.
NeitherG3366 let us temptG1598 ChristG5547, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 temptedG3985, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 serpentsG3789.
NeitherG3366 murmur yeG1111, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 murmuredG1111, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 the destroyerG3644.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
WhereforeG5620 letG991 him that thinkethG1380 he standethG2476 take heedG991 lestG3361 he fallG4098.
There hathG2983 noG3756 temptationG3986 takenG2983 youG5209 butG1508 such as is common to manG442: butG1161 GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, whoG3739 willG1439 notG3756 sufferG1439 youG5209 to be temptedG3985 aboveG5228 thatG3739 ye are ableG1410; butG235 willG4160 withG4862 the temptationG3986 alsoG2532 makeG4160 a way to escapeG1545, that yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to bearG5297 it. {common…: or, moderate}
WhereforeG1355, myG3450 dearly belovedG27, fleeG5343 fromG575 idolatryG1495.
I speakG3004 asG5613 to wise menG5429; judgeG2919 yeG5210 whatG3739 I sayG5346.
The cupG4221 of blessingG2129 whichG3739 we blessG2127, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bloodG129 of ChristG5547? The breadG740 whichG3739 we breakG2806, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547?
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
BeholdG991 IsraelG2474 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: areG1526 notG3780 theyG1526 which eatG2068 of the sacrificesG2378 partakersG2844 of the altarG2379?
WhatG5101 say IG5346 thenG3767? thatG3754 the idolG1497 isG2076 any thingG5100, orG2228 thatG3754 which is offered in sacrifice to idolsG1494 isG2076 any thingG5100?
ButG235 I say, thatG3754 the things whichG3739 the GentilesG1484 sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to devilsG1140, andG2532 notG3756 to GodG2316: andG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should haveG1096 fellowshipG2844 with devilsG1140.
Ye cannotG3756+G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, andG2532 the cupG4221 of devilsG1140: ye cannotG3756+G1410 be partakersG3348 of the Lord'sG2962 tableG5132, andG2532 of the tableG5132 of devilsG1140.
Do we provokeG2228+G3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? are weG2070 stronger thanG3361+G2478 heG846?
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
ForG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 by graceG5485 be a partakerG3348, whyG5101 am I evil spoken ofG987 for thatG5228 for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168? {grace: or, thanksgiving}
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
GiveG1096 none offenceG677, neitherG2532 to the JewsG2453, norG2532 to the GentilesG1672, norG2532 to the churchG1577 of GodG2316: {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
Even asG2531 IG2504 pleaseG700 allG3956 men in allG3956 things, notG3361 seekingG2212 mine ownG1683 profitG4851, butG235 the profitG3588 of manyG4183, thatG2443 they may be savedG4982.
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
Him that is weakG770 in the faithG4102 receive yeG4355, butG1161 notG3361 toG1519 doubtfulG1261 disputationsG1253. {not…: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts}
ForG3303 oneG3739 believethG4100 that he may eatG5315 all thingsG3956: anotherG1161, who is weakG770, eatethG2068 herbsG3001.
LetG1848 notG3361 him that eatethG2068 despiseG1848 him that eatethG2068 notG3361; andG2532 letG2068 notG3361 him which eatethG2068 notG3361 judgeG2919 him that eatethG2068: forG1063 GodG2316 hath receivedG4355 himG846.
WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that judgestG2919 another man'sG245 servantG3610? to his ownG2398 masterG2962 he standethG4739 orG2228 fallethG4098. YeaG1161, he shall be holden upG2476: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to makeG2476 himG846 standG2476.
OneG3303 manG3739 esteemethG2919 one dayG2250 aboveG3844 anotherG2250+G1161: anotherG3739 esteemethG2919 everyG3956 dayG2250 alike. LetG4135 every manG1538 be fully persuadedG4135 inG1722 his ownG2398 mindG3563. {fully persuaded: or, fully assured}
He that regardethG5426 the dayG2250, regardethG5426 it unto the LordG2962; andG2532 he that regardethG5426 notG3361 the dayG2250, to the LordG2962 he dothG5426 notG3756 regardG5426 it. He that eatethG2068, eatethG2068 to the LordG2962, forG1063 he giveth GodG2316 thanksG2168; andG2532 he that eatethG2068 notG3361, to the LordG2962 he eatethG2068 notG3756, andG2532 giveth GodG2316 thanksG2168. {regardeth: or, observeth}
ForG1063 noneG3762 of usG2257 livethG2198 to himselfG1438, andG2532 no manG3762 diethG599 to himselfG1438.
ForG1063 whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198, we liveG2198 unto the LordG2962; and whetherG1437+G5037 we dieG599, we dieG599 unto the LordG2962: whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198 thereforeG3767, orG1437+G5037 dieG599, we areG2070 the Lord'sG2962.
ForG1063 toG1519 thisG5124 end ChristG5547 bothG2532 diedG599, andG2532 roseG450, andG2532 revivedG326, thatG2443 he might be LordG2961 bothG2532 of the deadG3498 andG2532 livingG2198.
ButG1161 whyG5101 dostG2919 thouG4771 judgeG2919 thyG4675 brotherG80? orG2228+G2532 whyG5101 dostG1848 thouG4771 set at noughtG1848 thyG4675 brotherG80? forG1063 we shallG3936 allG3956 stand beforeG3936 the judgment seatG968 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, As IG1473 liveG2198, saithG3004 the LordG2962+G3754, everyG3956 kneeG1119 shall bowG2578 to meG1698, andG2532 everyG3956 tongueG1100 shall confessG1843 to GodG2316.
SoG3767 thenG686 every oneG1538 of usG2257 shall giveG1325 accountG3056 ofG4012 himselfG1438 to GodG2316.
Let usG2919 not thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 one anotherG240 any moreG3371: butG235 judgeG2919 thisG5124 ratherG3123, that no manG3361 putG5087 a stumblingblockG4348 orG2228 an occasion to fallG4625 in his brother's wayG80.
I knowG1492, andG2532 am persuadedG3982 byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG3754 there is nothingG3762 uncleanG2839 ofG1223 itselfG1438: butG1508 to him that esteemethG3049 any thingG5100 to beG1511 uncleanG2839, to himG1565 it is uncleanG2839. {unclean: Gr. common}
ButG1161 ifG1487 thyG4675 brotherG80 be grievedG3076 withG1223 thy meatG1033, nowG3765 walkest thouG4043 notG3765 charitablyG26+G2596. DestroyG622 notG3361 himG1565 with thyG4675 meatG1033, forG5228 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}
Let notG3361 thenG3767 yourG5216 goodG18 be evil spoken ofG987:
ForG1063 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 meatG1035 andG2532 drinkG4213; butG235 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 joyG5479 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 he that inG1722 these thingsG5125 servethG1398 ChristG5547 is acceptableG2101 to GodG2316, andG2532 approvedG1384 of menG444.
Let usG1377 thereforeG686+G3767 follow afterG1377 the things which make forG3588 peaceG1515, andG2532 things wherewithG1519 oneG240 may edifyG3619 anotherG240.
ForG1752 meatG1033 destroyG2647 notG3361 the workG2041 of GodG2316. All thingsG3956 indeedG3303 are pureG2513; butG235 it is evilG2556 for that manG444 who eatethG2068 withG1223 offenceG4348.
It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722+G3739 thyG4675 brotherG80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.
HastG2192 thouG4771 faithG4102? haveG2192 it toG2596 thyselfG4572 beforeG1799 GodG2316. HappyG3107 is he that condemnethG2919 notG3361 himselfG1438 inG1722 that thing whichG3739 he allowethG1381.
AndG1161 he that doubtethG1252 is damnedG2632 ifG1437 he eatG5315, becauseG3754 he eateth notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: forG1161 whatsoeverG3739+G3956 is notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102 isG2076 sinG266. {doubteth: or, discerneth and putteth a difference between meats} {damned: or, condemned, or liable to punishment}
LoveG26 workethG2038 noG3756 illG2556 to his neighbourG4139: thereforeG3767 loveG26 is the fulfillingG4138 of the lawG3551.
