ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
ForG1063 he hath madeG4160 him to be sinG266 forG5228 usG2257, whoG3588 knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
WhereforeG5620 tonguesG1100 areG1526 forG1519 a signG4592, notG3756 to them that believeG4100, butG235 to them that believe notG571: butG1161 prophesyingG4394 serveth notG3756 for them that believe notG571, butG235 for them which believeG4100.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
ThereforeG3767+G3303 they that were scattered abroadG1289 went every whereG1330 preachingG2097 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 themG846: andG5037 a greatG4183 numberG706 believedG4100, and turnedG1994 untoG1909 the LordG2962.
So thatG5620 myG3450 bondsG1199 inG1722 ChristG5547 areG1096 manifestG5318 inG1722 allG3650 the palaceG4232, andG2532 in allG3956 otherG3062 places; {in Christ: or, for Christ} {the palace: or, Caesar's court} {in all other…: or, to all others}
AndG2532 manyG4119 of the brethrenG80 inG1722 the LordG2962, waxing confidentG3982 by myG3450 bondsG1199, are much moreG4056 boldG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 without fearG870.
WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG618 suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096 fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG225. {fellowhelpers: or, joint-labourers}
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
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:
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247 wellG2573 purchaseG4046 to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. {used…: or, ministered}
AndG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 increasedG837; andG2532 the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 multipliedG4129 inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatlyG4970; andG5037 a greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were obedientG5219 to the faithG4102.
AndG1161 StephenG4736, fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 powerG1411, didG4160 greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 miraclesG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG2992.
I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, (ye knowG1492 the houseG3614 of StephanasG4734, thatG3754 it isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882, andG2532 that they have addictedG5021 themselvesG1438 toG1519 the ministryG1248 of the saintsG40,)
ThatG2443 yeG5210 submit yourselvesG5293 unto suchG5108, andG2532 to every oneG3956 that helpethG4903 with us, andG2532 labourethG2872.
WhetherG1535 PaulG3972, orG1535 ApollosG625, orG1535 CephasG2786, orG1535 the worldG2889, orG1535 lifeG2222, orG1535 deathG2288, orG1535 things presentG1764, orG1535 things to comeG3195; allG3956 areG2076 yoursG5216;
AndG1161 yeG5210 are Christ'sG5547; andG1161 ChristG5547 is God'sG2316.
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
ForG1063 ye mayG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 one by oneG2596+G1520, thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129, andG2532 allG3956 may be comfortedG3870.
AndG1161 uponG1722 the firstG3391 day of the weekG4521, when the disciplesG3101 came togetherG4863 to breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 preachedG1256 unto themG846, readyG3195 to departG1826 on the morrowG1887; andG5037 continuedG3905 his speechG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317.
ElseG1893 whenG1437 thou shalt blessG2127 with the spiritG4151, howG4459 shall he that occupiethG378 the roomG5117 of the unlearnedG2399 sayG2046 AmenG281 atG1909 thyG4674 giving of thanksG2169, seeingG1894 he understandethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 thou sayestG3004?
AndG2532 when he had given thanksG2168, he brakeG2806 it, andG2532 saidG2036, TakeG2983, eatG5315: thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bodyG4983, whichG3588 is brokenG2806 forG5228 youG5216: thisG5124 doG4160 inG1519 remembranceG364 of meG1699. {in…: or, for a remembrance}
