King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
ForG3754 ourG2257 gospelG2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG5209 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG5213 forG1223 yourG5209 sake.
AndG2532 yeG5210 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG2257, andG2532 of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
HathG2192 notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739+G3303 makeG4160 one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819?
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484?
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG1093. {the work: or, the account}
AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280, ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302+G1096 asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302+G3666 untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
BelovedG27, nowG3568 are weG2070 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, andG2532 it dothG5319 not yetG3768 appearG5319 whatG5101 we shall beG2071: butG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754, whenG1437 he shall appearG5319, we shall beG2071 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 we shall seeG3700 himG846 asG2531 he isG2076.
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}
If there be thereforeG3767 anyG1536 consolationG3874 inG1722 ChristG5547, if anyG1536 comfortG3890 of loveG26, if anyG1536 fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, if anyG1536 bowelsG4698 andG2532 merciesG3628,
Fulfil yeG4137 myG3450 joyG5479, thatG2443 ye be likemindedG846+G5426, havingG2192 the sameG846 loveG26, being of one accordG4861, of oneG1520 mindG5426.
Let nothingG3367 be done throughG2596 strifeG2052 orG2228 vaingloryG2754; butG235 in lowliness of mindG5012 letG2233 eachG240 esteemG2233 otherG240 better thanG5242 themselvesG1438.
LookG4648 notG3361 every manG1538 on his own thingsG1438, butG235 every manG1538 alsoG2532 on the thingsG3588 of othersG2087.
LetG5426 thisG5124 mind beG5426 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 was alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhoG3739, beingG5225 inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233 notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1511 equalG2470 with GodG2316:
ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
AndG2532 being foundG2147 in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013 himselfG1438, and becameG1096 obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716. {fashion: or habit}
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 hath highly exaltedG5251 himG846, andG2532 givenG5483 himG846 a nameG3686 whichG3588 is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686:
ThatG2443 atG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 everyG3956 kneeG1119 should bowG2578, of things in heavenG2032, andG2532 things in earthG1919, andG2532 things under the earthG2709;
AndG2532 that everyG3956 tongueG1100 should confessG1843 thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is LordG2962, toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27, asG2531 ye haveG5219 alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, notG3361 asG5613 inG1722 myG3450 presenceG3952 onlyG3440, butG235 nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 inG1722 myG3450 absenceG666, work outG2716 your ownG1438 salvationG4991 withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156.
ForG1063 it isG2076 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
DoG4160 all thingsG3956 withoutG5565 murmuringsG1112 andG2532 disputingsG1261:
ThatG2443 ye may beG1096 blamelessG273 andG2532 harmlessG185, the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, without rebukeG298, inG1722 the midstG3319 of a crookedG4646 andG2532 perverseG1294 nationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 ye shineG5316 asG5613 lightsG5458 inG1722 the worldG2889; {harmless: or, sincere} {ye shine: or, shine ye}
Holding forthG1907 the wordG3056 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 IG1698 may rejoiceG2745 inG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 I haveG5143 notG3756 runG5143 inG1519 vainG2756, neitherG3761 labouredG2872 inG1519 vainG2756.
YeaG235, and ifG1499 I be offeredG4689 uponG1909 the sacrificeG2378 andG2532 serviceG3009 of yourG5216 faithG4102, I joyG5463, andG2532 rejoice withG4796 youG5213 allG3956. {offered: Gr. poured forth}
ForG1161 the same causeG846 alsoG2532 doG5463 yeG5210 joyG5463, andG2532 rejoice withG4796 meG3427.
ButG1161 I trustG1679 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to sendG3992 TimotheusG5095 shortlyG5030 unto youG5213, thatG2443 I alsoG2504 may be of good comfortG2174, when I knowG1097 yourG5216 stateG4012. {But: or, Moreover}
ForG1063 I haveG2192 no manG3762 likemindedG2473, whoG3748 will naturallyG1104 careG3309 for yourG5216 stateG4012. {likeminded: or, so dear unto me}
ForG1063 allG3956 seekG2212 their ownG1438, notG3756 the things which areG3588 JesusG2424 Christ'sG5547.
ButG1161 ye knowG1097 the proofG1382 of himG846, thatG3754, asG5613 a sonG5043 with the fatherG3962, he hath servedG1398 withG4862 meG1698 inG1519 the gospelG2098.
HimG3303+G5126 thereforeG3767 I hopeG1679 to sendG3992 presentlyG1824, so soon asG5613 IG302 shall seeG542 howG4012 it will go with meG1691.
ButG1161 I trustG3982 inG1722 the LordG2962 thatG3754 IG2064 alsoG2532 myselfG846 shall comeG2064 shortlyG5030.
YetG1161 I supposedG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 toG4314 youG5209 EpaphroditusG1891, myG3450 brotherG80, andG2532 companion in labourG4904, andG2532 fellowsoldierG4961, butG1161 yourG5216 messengerG652, andG2532 he that ministeredG3011 to myG3450 wantsG5532.
ForG1894 heG2258 longed afterG1971 youG5209 allG3956, andG2532 was full of heavinessG85, becauseG1360 that ye had heardG191 thatG3754 he had been sickG770.
ForG1063 indeedG2532 he was sickG770 nighG3897 unto deathG2288: butG235 GodG2316 had mercyG1653 on himG846; andG1161 notG3756 on himG846 onlyG3440, butG235 on meG1691 alsoG2532, lestG3363 I should haveG2192 sorrowG3077 uponG1909 sorrowG3077.
I sentG3992 himG846 thereforeG3767 the more carefullyG4708, thatG2443, when ye seeG1492 himG846 againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463, and that IG2504 may beG5600 the less sorrowfulG253.
ReceiveG4327 himG846 thereforeG3767 inG1722 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 gladnessG5479; andG2532 holdG2192 suchG5108 in reputationG1784: {hold…: or, honor such}
BecauseG3754 forG1223 the workG2041 of ChristG5547 he was nighG1448 untoG3360 deathG2288, not regardingG3851 his lifeG5590, toG2443 supplyG378 yourG5216 lackG5303 of serviceG3009 towardG4314 meG3165.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
HathG2192 notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739+G3303 makeG4160 one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819?
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484?
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG1093. {the work: or, the account}
AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280, ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302+G1096 asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302+G3666 untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
HathG2192 notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739+G3303 makeG4160 one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819?
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484?
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG1093. {the work: or, the account}
AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280, ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302+G1096 asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302+G3666 untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.
And he putH7760 the handmaidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 afterH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermostH314.
And he passed overH5674 before themH6440, and bowed himselfH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came nearH5066 to his brotherH251.
And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meet himH7125, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401: and they weptH1058.
And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are thoseH428 with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603 thy servantH5650. {with…: Heb. to thee}
Then the handmaidensH8198 came nearH5066, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowed themselvesH7812.
And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came nearH5066, and bowed themselvesH7812: and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselves.
And he saidH559, What meanest thou by all this droveH4264 which I metH6298? And he saidH559, These are to findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {What…: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, I haveH3426 enoughH7227, my brotherH251; keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep…: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.
TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603, and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it. {enough: Heb. all things}
And he saidH559, Let us take our journeyH5265, and let us goH3212, and I will goH3212 before thee.
And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045 that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763 are with me: and if men should overdriveH1849 them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flockH6629 will dieH4191.
Let my lordH113, I pray thee, pass overH5674 beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will lead onH5095 softlyH328, according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endureH7272, until I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165. {according…: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What…: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto SeirH8165.
And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 him an houseH1004, and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his cattleH4735: therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 SuccothH5523. {Succoth: that is, Booths}
And JacobH3290 cameH935 to ShalemH8004, a cityH5892 of ShechemH7927, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from PadanaramH6307; and pitched his tentH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. {Shechem: Gr. Sychem}
And he boughtH7069 a parcelH2513 of a fieldH7704, where he had spreadH5186 his tentH168, at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem'sH7927 fatherH1, for an hundredH3967 pieces of moneyH7192. {Hamor: Gr. Emmor} {pieces…: or, lambs}
And he erectedH5324 there an altarH4196, and called itH7121 Elelohe-IsraelH415. {Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Shall we continueG1961 in sinG266, thatG2443 graceG5485 may aboundG4121?
God forbidG3361+G1096. HowG4459 shall we, thatG3748 are deadG599 to sinG266, liveG2198 any longerG2089 thereinG1722+G846?
Know ye notG50, that soG3754 many of usG3745 as were baptizedG907 intoG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 were baptizedG907 intoG1519 hisG846 deathG2288? {were: or, are} {were: or, are}
ThereforeG3767 we are buried withG4916 himG846 byG1223 baptismG908 intoG1519 deathG2288: thatG2443 like asG5618 ChristG5547 was raised upG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 byG1223 the gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, even soG3779 weG2249 alsoG2532 should walkG4043 inG1722 newnessG2538 of lifeG2222.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we have beenG1096 planted togetherG4854 in the likenessG3667 of hisG846 deathG2288, we shall beG2071 alsoG235+G2532 in the likeness of his resurrectionG386:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124, thatG3754 ourG2257 oldG3820 manG444 is crucified withG4957 him, thatG2443 the bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be destroyedG2673, that henceforthG3371 weG2248 shouldG1398 notG3371 serveG1398 sinG266.
ForG1063 he that is deadG599 is freedG1344 fromG575 sinG266. {freed: Gr. justified}
NowG1161 ifG1487 we be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547, we believeG4100 thatG3754 we shallG4800 alsoG2532 liveG4800 with himG846:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ChristG5547 being raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 diethG599 no moreG3765; deathG2288 hathG2961 no moreG3765 dominion overG2961 himG846.
ForG3739+G1063 in that he diedG599, he diedG599 unto sinG266 onceG2178: butG1161 in thatG3739 he livethG2198, he livethG2198 unto GodG2316.
LikewiseG3779 reckonG3049 yeG5210 alsoG2532 yourselvesG1438 to beG1511 deadG3498 indeedG3303 unto sinG266, butG1161 aliveG2198 unto GodG2316 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
LetG936 notG3361 sinG266 thereforeG3767 reignG936 inG1722 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodyG4983, thatG1519 ye should obeyG5219 itG846 inG1722 the lustsG1939 thereofG846.
NeitherG3366 yield yeG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93 unto sinG266: butG235 yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 unto GodG2316, asG5613 those that are aliveG2198 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 unto GodG2316. {instruments: Gr. arms, or, weapons}
ForG1063 sinG266 shallG2961 notG3756 have dominion overG2961 youG5216: forG1063 ye areG2075 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? shall we sinG264, becauseG3754 we areG2070 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485? God forbidG3361+G1096.
Know yeG1492 notG3756, thatG3754 to whomG3739 ye yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 servantsG1401 toG1519 obeyG5218, his servantsG1401 ye areG2075 to whomG3739 ye obeyG5219; whetherG2273 of sinG266 untoG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343?
ButG1161 GodG2316 be thankedG5485, thatG3754 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, butG1161 ye have obeyedG5219 fromG1537 the heartG2588 that formG5179 of doctrineG1322 whichG1519+G3739 was delivered youG3860. {which…: Gr. whereto ye were delivered}
BeingG1659 thenG1161 made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, ye became the servantsG1402 of righteousnessG1343.
I speakG3004 after the manner of menG442 becauseG1223 of the infirmityG769 of yourG5216 fleshG4561: forG1063 asG5618 ye have yieldedG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to uncleannessG167 andG2532 to iniquityG458 untoG1519 iniquityG458; even soG3779 nowG3568 yieldG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 holinessG38.
ForG1063 whenG3753 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, ye wereG2258 freeG1658 from righteousnessG1343. {from…: Gr. to righteousness}
WhatG5101+G3767 fruitG2590 had yeG2192 thenG5119 inG1909 those things whereofG3739 ye areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? forG1063 the endG5056 of those thingsG1565 is deathG2288.
ButG1161 nowG3570 being made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, andG1161 become servantsG1402 to GodG2316, ye haveG2192 yourG5216 fruitG2590 untoG1519 holinessG38, andG1161 the endG5056 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 the wagesG3800 of sinG266 is deathG2288; butG1161 the giftG5486 of GodG2316 is eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
