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,
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.
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121 thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655 thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 me.
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:
WhoG3588 hath savedG4982 usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564 us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325 usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 the world beganG5550+G166,
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG1161 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, according toG2596 the faithG4102 of God'sG2316 electG1588, andG2532 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godlinessG2150;
Put onG1746 thereforeG3767, asG5613 the electG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 andG2532 belovedG25, bowelsG4698 of merciesG3628, kindnessG5544, humbleness of mindG5012, meeknessG4236, longsufferingG3115;
(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;)
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
YeG5210 haveG1586 notG3756 chosenG1586 meG3165, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG5209, andG2532 ordainedG5087 youG5209, thatG2443 yeG5210 should goG5217 andG2532 bring forthG5342 fruitG2590, andG2532 that yourG5216 fruitG2590 should remainG3306: thatG2443 whatsoeverG3739+G302+G3748 ye shall askG154 of the FatherG3962 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, he may give itG1325 youG5213.
IfG1487 ye wereG2258 ofG1537 the worldG2889, the worldG2889 wouldG302 loveG5368 his ownG2398: butG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG2889, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG5209 out ofG1537 the worldG2889, thereforeG5124+G1223 the worldG2889 hatethG3404 youG5209.
ForG1063 ye seeG991 yourG5216 callingG2821, brethrenG80, how thatG3754 notG3756 manyG4183 wise menG4680 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, notG3756 manyG4183 mightyG1415, notG3756 manyG4183 nobleG2104, are called:
ButG235 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the things which are mightyG2478;
AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG2889, andG2532 things which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 things whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 things that areG5607:
ThatG3704 noG3361+G3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 in his presenceG1799+G846.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
ThatG2443, according asG2531 it is writtenG1125, He that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ButG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Go thy wayG4198: forG3754 heG3778 isG2076 a chosenG1589 vesselG4632 unto meG3427, to bearG941 myG3450 nameG3686 beforeG1799 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 kingsG935, andG5037 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
ButG1161 whenG3753 it pleasedG2106 GodG2316, whoG3588 separatedG873 meG3165 fromG1537 myG3450 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 calledG2564 me byG1223 hisG846 graceG5485,
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
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:
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
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.
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
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.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG2818, as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he isG2076 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 from a servantG1401, though he beG5607 lordG2962 of allG3956;
ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 of the fatherG3962.
EvenG2532 soG3779 weG2249, whenG3753 we wereG2258 childrenG3516, wereG2258 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889: {elements: or, rudiments}
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
ToG2443 redeemG1805 them that were underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG5206.
AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 sonsG5207, GodG2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620 thou artG1488 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.
HowbeitG235 thenG5119+G3303, when ye knewG1492 notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 unto them which by natureG5449 areG5607 noG3361 godsG2316.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
Ye observeG3906 daysG2250, andG2532 monthsG3376, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 yearsG1763.
I am afraidG5399 of youG5209, lestG3381+G4458 I have bestowedG2872 uponG1519 youG5209 labourG2872 in vainG1500.
BrethrenG80, I beseechG1189 youG5216, beG1096 asG5613 IG1473 am; forG3754 IG2504 am asG5613 yeG5210 are: ye have not injuredG91 meG3165 at allG3762.
Ye knowG1492 howG3754 throughG1223 infirmityG769 of the fleshG4561 I preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5213 at the firstG4386.
AndG2532 myG3450 temptationG3986 which was inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 ye despisedG1848 notG3756, norG3761 rejectedG1609; butG235 receivedG1209 meG3165 asG5613 an angelG32 of GodG2316, even asG5613 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
WhereG5101 isG2258 thenG3767 the blessednessG3108 yeG5216 spake of? forG1063 I bearG3140 youG5213 recordG3140, thatG3754, ifG1487 it had been possibleG1415, ye would have plucked outG1846 yourG5216 own eyesG3788, and have given themG302+G1325 to meG3427. {Where…: or, What was then}
Am IG1096 thereforeG5620 becomeG1096 yourG5216 enemyG2190, because I tellG226 youG5213 the truthG226?
They zealously affectG2206 youG5209, but notG3756 wellG2573; yeaG235, they wouldG2309 excludeG1576 youG5209, thatG2443 ye might affectG2206 themG846. {exclude you: or, exclude us}
ButG1161 it is goodG2570 to be zealously affectedG2206 alwaysG3842 inG1722 a goodG2570 thing, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 whenG1722 IG3165 am presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891+G3739 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG5213,
I desireG2309 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209 nowG737, andG2532 to changeG236 myG3450 voiceG5456; forG3754 I stand in doubtG639 ofG1722 youG5213. {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you} {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you}
TellG3004 meG3427, ye that desireG2309 to beG1511 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3551?
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
ButG1161 as many asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
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.
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
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.
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is, thereG1563 is libertyG1657.
ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, with openG343 faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are changedG3339 into the sameG846 imageG1504 fromG575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 byG575 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962. {by the…: or, of the Lord the Spirit}
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to keepG5442 youG5209+G846 from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476 you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20,
Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG5216 soulsG5590 inG1722 obeyingG5218 the truthG225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619:
ByG1722 purenessG54, byG1722 knowledgeG1108, byG1722 longsufferingG3115, byG1722 kindnessG5544, byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, byG1722 loveG26 unfeignedG505,
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.
