AndG1161 SaulG4569 wasG2258 consentingG4909 unto hisG846 deathG336. AndG1161 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2250 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 the churchG1577 whichG3588 was atG1722 JerusalemG2414; andG5037 they wereG1289 allG3956 scattered abroadG1289 throughoutG2596 the regionsG5561 of JudaeaG2449 andG2532 SamariaG4540, exceptG4133 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 devoutG2126 menG435 carriedG4792 StephenG4736 to his burial, andG2532 madeG4160 greatG3173 lamentationG2870 overG1909 himG846.
AsG1161 for SaulG4569, he made havockG3075 of the churchG1577, entering intoG1531 everyG2596 houseG3624, and halingG4951+G5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135 committedG3860 them toG1519 prisonG5438.
ThereforeG3767+G3303 they that were scattered abroadG1289 went every whereG1330 preachingG2097 the wordG3056.
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.
ForG1063 ye mayG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 one by oneG2596+G1520, thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129, andG2532 allG3956 may be comfortedG3870.
The elderG4245 unto the electG1588 ladyG2959 andG2532 herG846 childrenG5043, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225; andG2532 notG3756 IG1473 onlyG3441, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 they that have knownG1097 the truthG225;
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.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
PaulG3972 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to allG3956 the saintsG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 which areG5607 atG1722 PhilippiG5375, withG4862 the bishopsG1985 andG2532 deaconsG1249:
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248.
ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036, It isG2076 notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132.
WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846.
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.
ThenG1161 there aroseG450 certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, whichG3588 is calledG3004 the synagogue of the LibertinesG3032, andG2532 CyreniansG2956, andG2532 AlexandriansG221, andG2532 of them ofG575 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of AsiaG773, disputingG4802 with StephenG4736.
AndG2532 they wereG2480 notG3756 ableG2480 to resistG436 the wisdomG4678 andG2532 the spiritG4151 by whichG3739 he spakeG2980.
ThenG5119 they subornedG5260 menG435, which saidG3004+G3754, We have heardG191 himG846 speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 MosesG3475, andG2532 against GodG2316.
AndG5037 they stirred upG4787 the peopleG2992, andG2532 the eldersG4245, andG2532 the scribesG1122, andG2532 came uponG2186 him, and caughtG4884 himG846, andG2532 broughtG71 him toG1519 the councilG4892,
AndG5037 set upG2476 falseG5571 witnessesG3144, which saidG3004, ThisG5127 manG444 ceasethG3973 notG3756 to speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117, andG2532 the lawG3551:
ForG1063 we have heardG191 himG846 sayG3004, thatG3754 thisG5126 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480 shall destroyG2647 thisG3778 placeG5117, andG2532 shall changeG236 the customsG1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 deliveredG3860 usG2254. {customs: or, rites}
AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516 inG1722 the councilG4892, looking stedfastlyG816 onG1519 himG846, sawG1492 hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
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}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
AndG2532 to esteemG2233 themG846 veryG5228 highlyG1537+G4053 inG1722 loveG26 forG1223 theirG846 work's sakeG2041. And be at peaceG1514 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438.
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,)
AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248.
ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036, It isG2076 notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132.
WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846.
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.
ThenG1161 there aroseG450 certainG5100 ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, whichG3588 is calledG3004 the synagogue of the LibertinesG3032, andG2532 CyreniansG2956, andG2532 AlexandriansG221, andG2532 of them ofG575 CiliciaG2791 andG2532 of AsiaG773, disputingG4802 with StephenG4736.
AndG2532 they wereG2480 notG3756 ableG2480 to resistG436 the wisdomG4678 andG2532 the spiritG4151 by whichG3739 he spakeG2980.
ThenG5119 they subornedG5260 menG435, which saidG3004+G3754, We have heardG191 himG846 speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 MosesG3475, andG2532 against GodG2316.
AndG5037 they stirred upG4787 the peopleG2992, andG2532 the eldersG4245, andG2532 the scribesG1122, andG2532 came uponG2186 him, and caughtG4884 himG846, andG2532 broughtG71 him toG1519 the councilG4892,
AndG5037 set upG2476 falseG5571 witnessesG3144, which saidG3004, ThisG5127 manG444 ceasethG3973 notG3756 to speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117, andG2532 the lawG3551:
ForG1063 we have heardG191 himG846 sayG3004, thatG3754 thisG5126 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480 shall destroyG2647 thisG3778 placeG5117, andG2532 shall changeG236 the customsG1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 deliveredG3860 usG2254. {customs: or, rites}
AndG2532 allG537 that satG2516 inG1722 the councilG4892, looking stedfastlyG816 onG1519 himG846, sawG1492 hisG846 faceG4383 as it had beenG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. {stretched…: or, began}
AndG1161 he killedG337 JamesG2385 the brotherG80 of JohnG2491 with the swordG3162.
AndG2532 because he sawG1492 itG3754 pleasedG2076+G701 the JewsG2453, he proceeded furtherG4369 to takeG4815 PeterG4074 alsoG2532. (ThenG1161 wereG2258 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106.)
AndG3739+G2532 when he had apprehendedG4084 him, he putG5087 him inG1519 prisonG5438, and deliveredG3860 him to fourG5064 quaternionsG5069 of soldiersG4757 to keepG5442 himG846; intendingG1014 afterG3326 EasterG3957 to bringG321 himG846 forthG321 to the peopleG2992. {Easter: Gr. Passover} {quaternions: a file of four soldiers}
PeterG4074+G3303 thereforeG3767 was keptG5083 inG1722 prisonG5438: butG1161 prayerG4335 wasG2258 madeG1096 without ceasingG1618 ofG5259 the churchG1577 untoG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 himG846. {prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made}
AndG1161 whenG3753 HerodG2264 wouldG3195 have broughtG4254 himG846 forthG4254, the sameG1565 nightG3571 PeterG4074 wasG2258 sleepingG2837 betweenG3342 twoG1417 soldiersG4757, boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254: andG5037 the keepersG5441 beforeG4253 the doorG2374 keptG5083 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 him, andG2532 a lightG5457 shinedG2989 inG1722 the prisonG3612: andG1161 he smoteG3960 PeterG4074 on the sideG4125, and raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Arise upG450 quicklyG1722+G5034. AndG2532 hisG846 chainsG254 fell offG1601 fromG1537 his handsG5495.
AndG5037 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Gird thyselfG4024, andG2532 bind onG5265 thyG4675 sandalsG4547. AndG1161 soG3779 he didG4160. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, CastG4016 thy garmentG2440 aboutG4016 theeG4675, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
AndG2532 he went outG1831, and followedG190 himG846; andG2532 wistG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 it wasG2076 trueG227 whichG3588 was doneG1096 byG1223 the angelG32; butG1161 thoughtG1380 he sawG991 a visionG3705.
WhenG1161 they were pastG1330 the firstG4413 andG2532 the secondG1208 wardG5438, they cameG2064 untoG1909 the ironG4603 gateG4439 that leadethG5342 untoG1519 the cityG4172; whichG3748 openedG455 to themG846 of his own accordG844: andG2532 they went outG1831, and passed on throughG4281 oneG3391 streetG4505; andG2532 forthwithG2112 the angelG32 departedG868 fromG575 himG846.
AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was comeG1096 toG1722 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, NowG3568 I knowG1492 of a suretyG230, thatG3754 the LordG2962 hath sentG1821 hisG846 angelG32, andG2532 hath deliveredG1807 meG3165 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of HerodG2264, andG2532 from allG3956 the expectationG4329 of the peopleG2992 of the JewsG2453.
AndG5037 when he had consideredG4894 the thing, he cameG2064 toG1909 the houseG3614 of MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138; whereG3757 manyG2425 wereG2258 gathered togetherG4867 prayingG2532+G4336.
AndG1161 as PeterG4074 knocked atG2925 the doorG2374 of the gateG4440, a damselG3814 cameG4334 to hearkenG5219, namedG3686 RhodaG4498. {to hearken: or, to ask who was there}
AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter'sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and told howG518 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG4440.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG1492 himG846+G2532, they were astonishedG1839.
ButG1161 he, beckoningG2678 unto themG846 with the handG5495 to hold their peaceG4601, declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 the LordG2962 had broughtG1806 himG846 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438. AndG1161 he saidG2036, Go shewG518 these thingsG5023 unto JamesG2385, andG2532 to the brethrenG80. AndG2532 he departedG1831, and wentG4198 intoG1519 anotherG2087 placeG5117.
NowG1161 as soon as it wasG1096 dayG2250, there wasG2258 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 amongG1722 the soldiersG4757, whatG5101+G686 was becomeG1096 of PeterG4074.
AndG1161 whenG1934 HerodG2264 had sought forG1934 himG846, andG2532 found himG2147 notG3361, he examinedG350 the keepersG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to deathG520. AndG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, and there abodeG1304.
AndG1161 HerodG2264 wasG2258 highly displeasedG2371 with them of TyreG5183 andG2532 SidonG4606: butG1161 they cameG3918 with one accordG3661 toG4314 himG846, andG2532, having madeG3982 BlastusG986 the king'sG935 chamberlainG1909+G2846 their friendG3982, desiredG154 peaceG1515; becauseG1223 theirG846 countryG5561 was nourishedG5142 byG575 the king'sG937 country. {was highly…: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war} {the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber}
AndG1161 upon a setG5002 dayG2250 HerodG2264, arrayedG1746 in royalG937 apparelG2066, satG2523 uponG1909 his throneG968, andG2532 made an orationG1215 untoG4314 themG846.
AndG1161 the peopleG1218 gave a shoutG2019, saying, It is the voiceG5456 of a godG2316, andG2532 notG3756 of a manG444.
AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 smoteG3960 himG846, becauseG473+G3739 he gaveG1325 notG3756 GodG2316 the gloryG1391: andG2532 he wasG1096 eaten of wormsG4662, and gave up the ghostG1634.
ButG1161 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 returnedG5290 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419, when they had fulfilledG4137 their ministryG1248, andG2532 took with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG1941 MarkG3138. {ministry: or, charge}
I exhortG3870 thereforeG3767, that, firstG4412 of allG3956, supplicationsG1162, prayersG4335, intercessionsG1783, and giving of thanksG2169, be madeG4160 forG5228 allG3956 menG444; {exhort: or, desire}
ForG5228 kingsG935, andG2532 for allG3956 that areG5607 inG1722 authorityG5247; thatG2443 we may leadG1236 a quietG2263 andG2532 peaceableG2272 lifeG979 inG1722 allG3956 godlinessG2150 andG2532 honestyG4587. {authority: or, eminent place}
ForG1063 thisG5124 is goodG2570 andG2532 acceptableG587 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990;
WhoG3739 will haveG2309 allG3956 menG444 to be savedG4982, andG2532 to comeG2064 untoG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
FollowG1377 after charityG26, andG1161 desireG2206 spiritualG4152 gifts, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye may prophesyG4395.
ForG1063 he that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 speakethG2980 notG3756 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 understandethG191 him; howbeitG1161 in the spiritG4151 he speakethG2980 mysteriesG3466. {understandeth: Gr. heareth}
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
He that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 edifiethG3618 himselfG1438; butG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 edifiethG3618 the churchG1577.
I wouldG2309 that yeG5209 allG3956 spakeG2980 with tonguesG1100, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye prophesiedG4395: forG1063 greaterG3187 is he that prophesiethG4395 thanG2228 he that speakethG2980 with tonguesG1100, exceptG1622+G1508 he interpretG1329, thatG2443 the churchG1577 may receiveG2983 edifyingG3619.
NowG3570, brethrenG80, ifG1437 I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 speakingG2980 with tonguesG1100, whatG5101 shall I profitG5623 youG5209, exceptG3362 I shall speakG2980 to youG5213 eitherG2228 byG1722 revelationG602, orG2228 byG1722 knowledgeG1108, orG2228 byG1722 prophesyingG4394, orG2228 byG1722 doctrineG1322?
And evenG3676 things without lifeG895 givingG1325 soundG5456, whetherG1535 pipeG836 orG1535 harpG2788, exceptG3362 they giveG1325 a distinctionG1293 in the soundsG5353, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 what is pipedG832 orG2228 harpedG2789? {sounds: or, tunes}
ForG1063+G2532 ifG1437 the trumpetG4536 giveG1325 an uncertainG82 soundG5456, whoG5101 shall prepare himselfG3903 toG1519 the battleG4171?
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, exceptG3362 ye utterG1325 byG1223 the tongueG1100 wordsG3056 easy to be understoodG2154, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 what is spokenG2980? forG1063 ye shallG2071 speakG2980 intoG1519 the airG109. {easy…: Gr. significant}
There areG2076, it may beG5177, so manyG5118 kindsG1085 of voicesG5456 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 none of themG3762 is without significationG880+G846.
ThereforeG3767 ifG3362 I knowG1492 notG3362 the meaningG1411 of the voiceG5456, I shall beG2071 unto him that speakethG2980 a barbarianG915, andG2532 he that speakethG2980 shall be a barbarianG915 untoG1722 meG1698.
EvenG2532 soG3779 yeG5210, forasmuch asG1893 ye areG2075 zealousG2207 of spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 thatG2443 ye may excelG4052 toG4314 the edifyingG3619 of the churchG1577. {of spiritual gifts: Gr. of spirits}
WhereforeG1355 let him that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 prayG4336 thatG2443 he may interpretG1329.
ForG1063 ifG1437 I prayG4336 in an unknown tongueG1100, myG3450 spiritG4151 prayethG4336, butG1161 myG3450 understandingG3563 isG2076 unfruitfulG175.
WhatG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151, andG1161 I will prayG4336 with the understandingG3563 alsoG2532: I will singG5567 with the spiritG4151, andG1161 I will singG5567 with the understandingG3563 alsoG2532.
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?
ForG1063 thouG4771 verilyG3303 givest thanksG2168 wellG2573, butG235 the otherG2087 isG3618 notG3756 edifiedG3618.
I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316, I speakG2980 with tonguesG1100 more thanG3123 yeG5216 allG3956:
YetG235 inG1722 the churchG1577 I had ratherG2309 speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 withG1223 myG3450 understandingG3563, thatG2443 by my voice I might teachG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, thanG2228 ten thousandG3463 wordsG3056 inG1722 an unknown tongueG1100.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG5424 beG1096 menG5046. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
InG1722 the lawG3551 it is writtenG1125+G3754, WithG1722 men of other tonguesG2084 andG2532 otherG1722+G2087 lipsG5491 will I speakG2980 unto thisG5129 peopleG2992; andG2532 yet for allG3779 that will theyG1522 notG3761 hearG1522 meG3450, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
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.
IfG1437 thereforeG3767 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 be come togetherG4905 intoG1909 one placeG846, andG2532 allG3956 speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, andG1161 there come inG1525 those that are unlearnedG2399, orG2228 unbelieversG571, will theyG2046 notG3756 sayG2046 thatG3754 ye are madG3105?
ButG1161 ifG1437 allG3956 prophesyG4395, andG1161 there come inG1525 oneG5100 that believeth notG571, orG2228 one unlearnedG2399, he is convincedG1651 ofG5259 allG3956, he is judgedG350 ofG5259 allG3956:
AndG2532 thusG3779 areG1096 the secretsG2927 of hisG846 heartG2588 madeG1096 manifestG5318; andG2532 soG3779 falling downG4098 onG1909 his faceG4383 he will worshipG4352 GodG2316, and reportG518 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 inG1722 youG5213 of a truthG3689.
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
IfG1535 any manG5100 speakG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100, let it be byG2596 twoG1417, orG2228 at the mostG4118 by threeG5140, andG2532 that byG303 courseG3313; andG2532 letG1329 oneG1520 interpretG1329. {two…: by two or three sentences separately}
ButG1161 ifG3362 there beG5600 noG3362 interpreterG1328, let him keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchG1577; andG1161 let him speakG2980 to himselfG1438, andG2532 to GodG2316.
LetG2980 the prophetsG4396 speakG2980 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140, andG2532 letG1252 the otherG243 judgeG1252.
IfG1161+G1437 any thing be revealedG601 to anotherG243 that sitteth byG2521, letG4601 the firstG4413 hold his peaceG4601.
ForG1063 ye mayG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 one by oneG2596+G1520, thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129, andG2532 allG3956 may be comfortedG3870.
AndG2532 the spiritsG4151 of the prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to the prophetsG4396.
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 the author of confusionG181, butG235 of peaceG1515, asG5613 inG1722 allG3956 churchesG1577 of the saintsG40. {confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}
LetG4601 yourG5216 womenG1135 keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchesG1577: forG1063 it isG2010 notG3756 permittedG2010 unto themG846 to speakG2980; butG235 they are commanded to be under obedienceG5293, asG2531 alsoG2532 saithG3004 the lawG3551.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they willG2309 learnG3129 any thingG5100, let them askG1905 theirG2398 husbandsG435 atG1722 homeG3624: forG1063 it isG2076 a shameG149 for womenG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 the churchG1577.
WhatG2228? cameG1831 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 outG1831 fromG575 youG5216? orG2228 came itG2658 untoG1519 youG5209 onlyG3441?
If any manG1536 think himselfG1380 to beG1511 a prophetG4396, orG2228 spiritualG4152, let him acknowledgeG1921 thatG3754 the thingsG3739 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213 areG1526 the commandmentsG1785 of the LordG2962.
ButG1161 if any manG1536 be ignorantG50, let him be ignorantG50.
WhereforeG5620, brethrenG80, covetG2206 to prophesyG4395, andG2532 forbidG2967 notG3361 to speakG2980 with tonguesG1100.
LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 decentlyG2156 andG2532 inG2596 orderG5010.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
MyG3450 brethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 mastersG1320, knowingG1492 thatG3754 we shall receiveG2983 the greaterG3187 condemnationG2917. {condemnation: or, judgment}
ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
ButG235 noneG3762 of these thingsG3056 move meG4160, neitherG3761 count IG2192 myG3450 lifeG5590 dearG5093 unto myselfG1683, soG5613 that I might finishG5048 myG3450 courseG1408 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 the ministryG1248, whichG3739 I have receivedG2983 ofG3844 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG2098 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1722+G1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1722+G1391, soG5620 that the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG816 the faceG1519+G4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673:
HowG4459 shallG1248 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123+G1722 gloriousG1391?
ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 doth the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391.
Therefore seeingG1223+G5124 we haveG2192 thisG5026 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756;
AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG2248 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 the ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643;
GivingG1325 noG3367 offenceG4349 inG1722 any thingG3367, thatG3363 the ministryG1248 beG3469 notG3363 blamedG3469:
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
ByG1223 whomG3739 we have receivedG2983 graceG5485 andG2532 apostleshipG651, forG1519 obedienceG5218 to the faithG4102 amongG1722 allG3956 nationsG1484, forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686: {for obedience…: or, to the obedience of faith}
