For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, DepartG4198: forG3754 IG1473 will sendG1821 theeG4571 far henceG3112 untoG1519 the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 they gaveG191 himG846 audienceG191 untoG891 thisG5127 wordG3056, andG2532 then lifted upG1869 theirG846 voicesG5456, and saidG3004, Away withG142 suchG5108 a fellow fromG575 the earthG1093: forG1063 it isG2520 notG3756 fitG2520 that heG846 should liveG2198.
ButG235 contrariwiseG5121, when they sawG1492 thatG3754 the gospelG2098 of the uncircumcisionG203 was committed unto meG4100, asG2531 the gospel of the circumcisionG4061 was unto PeterG4074;
(ForG1063 he that wrought effectuallyG1754 in PeterG4074 toG1519 the apostleshipG651 of the circumcisionG4061, the sameG2532 was mightyG1754 in meG1698 towardG1519 the GentilesG1484:)
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band,
A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwayG1275.
He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883.
AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074:
HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG2076 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 oughtestG1163 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 unto CorneliusG2883 was departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of them that waited onG4342 himG846 continuallyG4342;
AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 all these thingsG537 unto themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG2445.
On the morrowG1887, as theyG1565 went on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nighG1448 unto the cityG4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG1430 to prayG4336 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 hourG5610:
AndG1161 he becameG1096 very hungryG4361, andG2532 wouldG2309 have eatenG1089: butG1161 while theyG1565 made readyG3903, heG846 fellG1968 intoG1909 a tranceG1611,
AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093:
WhereinG1722+G3739 wereG5225 all mannerG3956 of fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772.
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825+G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
ThisG5124 was doneG1096 thriceG1909+G5151: andG2532 the vesselG4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 doubtedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG1492 should meanG302+G1498, beholdG2400+G2532, the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon'sG4613 houseG3614, and stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG4440,
AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whichG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, were lodgedG3579 thereG1759.
WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4571.
AriseG450 thereforeG235, and get thee downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG2883; and saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG156 whereforeG1223+G3739 ye are comeG3918?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for theeG4571 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 ofG3844 theeG4675.
ThenG3767 called heG1528 themG846 inG1528, and lodgedG3579 them. AndG1161 on the morrowG1887 PeterG4074 went awayG1831 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 fromG575 JoppaG2445 accompaniedG4905 himG846.
AndG2532 the morrowG1887 after they enteredG1525 intoG1519 CaesareaG2542. AndG1161 CorneliusG2883 waited forG4328 themG846+G2258, and had called togetherG4779 hisG846 kinsmenG4773 andG2532 nearG316 friendsG5384.
AndG1161 asG5613 PeterG4074 wasG1096 coming inG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 himG846, and fell downG4098 atG1909 his feetG4228, and worshippedG4352 him.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444.
AndG2532 as he talkedG4926 with himG846, he went inG1525, andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 that were come togetherG4905.
AndG5037 he saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987 howG5613 that it isG2076 an unlawful thingG111 for a manG435 that is a JewG2453 to keep companyG2853, orG2228 come untoG4334 one of another nationG246; butG2532 GodG2316 hath shewedG1166 meG1698 that I should notG3367 callG3004 anyG3367 manG444 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
ThereforeG1352+G2532 came IG2064 unto you without gainsayingG369, as soon as I was sent forG3343: I askG4441 thereforeG3767 for whatG5101 intentG3056 ye have sent forG3343 meG3165?
AndG2532 CorneliusG2883 saidG5346, FourG5067 daysG2250 agoG575 I wasG2252 fastingG3522 untilG3360 thisG5026 hourG5610; andG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 I prayedG4336 inG1722 myG3450 houseG3624, andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 meG3450 inG1722 brightG2986 clothingG2066,
AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4675 prayerG4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are had in remembranceG3415 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 of one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4671.
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
ButG235 inG1722 everyG3956 nationG1484 he that fearethG5399 himG846, andG2532 workethG2038 righteousnessG1343, isG2076 acceptedG1184 with himG846.
The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
That wordG4487, I say, yeG5210 knowG1492, which was publishedG1096 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449, and beganG756 fromG575 GalileeG1056, afterG3326 the baptismG908 whichG3739 JohnG2491 preachedG2784;
HowG5613 GodG2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG846+G3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 that were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG2316, even to usG2254, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 he commandedG3853 usG2254 to preachG2784 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to testifyG1263 thatG3754 it isG2076 heG846 whichG3588 was ordainedG3724 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be the JudgeG2923 of quickG2198 andG2532 deadG3498.
To himG5129 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266.
While PeterG4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG5023 wordsG4487, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 them which heardG191 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 came withG4905 PeterG4074, becauseG3754 that onG1909 the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speak withG2980 tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074,
CanG3385+G1410 any manG5100 forbidG2967 waterG5204, that theseG5128 shouldG907 notG3361 be baptizedG907, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 asG2532 well asG2531 weG2249?
AndG5037 he commandedG4367 themG846 to be baptizedG907 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. ThenG5119 prayed theyG2065 himG846 to tarryG1961 certainG5100 daysG2250.
WhatG5101 advantageG4053 thenG3767 hath the JewG2453? orG2228 whatG5101 profitG5622 is there of circumcisionG4061?
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.
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall comeH935 peopleH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892:
And the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to anotherH259, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 speedilyH1980 to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: I will goH3212 also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
The PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 with the SadduceesG4523 cameG4334, andG2532 temptingG3985 desiredG1905 himG846 that he would shewG1925 themG846 a signG4592 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
He answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, When it isG1096 eveningG3798, ye sayG3004, It will be fair weatherG2105: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449.
AndG2532 in the morningG4404, It will be foul weatherG5494 to dayG4594: forG1063 the skyG3772 is redG4449 and lowringG4768. O ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1097 discernG1252+G3303 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772; butG1161 can yeG1410 notG3756 discern the signsG4592 of the timesG2540?
A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shall noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 unto itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of the prophetG4396 JonasG2495. AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and departedG565.
AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 were comeG2064 toG1519 the other sideG4008, they had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740.
ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG3708 andG2532 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.
AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, It is becauseG3754 we have takenG2983 noG3756 breadG740.
Which whenG1161 JesusG2424 perceivedG1097, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O ye of little faithG3640, whyG5101 reason yeG1260 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, becauseG3754 ye have broughtG2983 noG3756 breadG740?
Do yeG3539 not yetG3768 understandG3539, neitherG3761 rememberG3421 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 of the five thousandG4000, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG2894 ye took upG2983?
NeitherG3761 the sevenG2033 loavesG740 of the four thousandG5070, andG2532 how manyG4214 basketsG4711 ye took upG2983?
HowG4459 is it thatG3754 ye doG3539 notG3756 understandG3539 that I spakeG2036 it notG3756 to youG5213 concerningG4012 breadG740, that ye should bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523?
ThenG5119 understood theyG4920 how thatG3754 he badeG2036 them notG3756 bewareG4337 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of breadG740, butG235 ofG575 the doctrineG1322 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of the SadduceesG4523.
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the coastsG3313 of CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 hisG846 disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, WhomG5101 do menG444 sayG3004 that IG3165 the SonG5207 of manG444 amG1511?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, Some say that thou artG3303 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910+G1161: someG243, EliasG2243; andG1161 othersG2087, JeremiasG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396.
He saithG3004 unto themG846, ButG1161 whomG5101 sayG3004 yeG5210 that IG3165 amG1511?
AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, BlessedG3107 art thouG1488, SimonG4613 BarjonaG920: forG3754 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129 hathG601 notG3756 revealedG601 it unto theeG4671, butG235 myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 alsoG2504 unto theeG4671, ThatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 PeterG4074, andG2532 uponG1909 thisG5026 rockG4073 I will buildG3618 myG3450 churchG1577; andG2532 the gatesG4439 of hellG86 shallG2729 notG3756 prevail againstG2729 itG846. {Peter: this name signifies a rock}
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 unto theeG4671 the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou shalt looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
ThenG5119 charged heG1291 hisG846 disciplesG3101 thatG2443 they should tellG2036 no manG3367 thatG3754 heG846 wasG2076 JesusG2424 the ChristG5547.
FromG575 that time forthG5119 beganG756 JesusG2424 to shewG1166 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, how thatG3754 heG846 mustG1163 goG565 untoG1519 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 sufferG3958 many thingsG4183 ofG575 the eldersG4245 andG2532 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be killedG615, andG2532 be raised againG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250.
ThenG2532 PeterG4074 tookG4355 himG846, and beganG756 to rebukeG2008 himG846, sayingG3004, Be it farG2436 from theeG4671, LordG2962: thisG5124 shallG2071 notG3364 beG2071 unto theeG4671. {Be…: Gr. Pity thyself}
ButG1161 he turnedG4762, and saidG2036 unto PeterG4074, Get theeG5217 behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: thouG1488 artG3754 an offenceG4625 unto meG3450: for thou savourestG5426 notG3756 the thingsG3588 that be of GodG2316, butG235 those that be of menG444.
ThenG5119 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, If anyG1536 man willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 willG2309 saveG4982 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846: andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 will loseG622 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG1752 myG1700 sakeG1752 shall findG2147 itG846.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is a manG444 profitedG5623, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG1161 loseG2210 his ownG846 soulG5590? orG2228 whatG5101 shall a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590?
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 shallG3195 comeG2064 inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 hisG846 angelsG32; andG2532 thenG5119 he shall rewardG591 every manG1538 accordingG2596 to hisG846 worksG4234.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, There beG1526 someG5100 standingG2476 hereG5602, whichG3748 shallG1089 notG3364 tasteG1089 of deathG2288, tillG302+G2193 they seeG1492 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1722 hisG846 kingdomG932.
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
NowG1161 to him that is of powerG1410 to stablishG4741 youG5209 accordingG2596 to myG3450 gospelG2098, andG2532 the preachingG2782 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, accordingG2596 to the revelationG602 of the mysteryG3466, which was kept secretG4601 since the world beganG5550+G166,
ButG1161 nowG3568 is made manifestG5319, andG5037 byG1223 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4397, accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of the everlastingG166 GodG2316, made knownG1107 toG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1519 the obedienceG5218 of faithG4102:
To GodG2316 onlyG3441 wiseG4680, be gloryG1391 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.}
WivesG1135, submit yourselvesG5293 unto your ownG2398 husbandsG435, asG5613 unto the LordG2962.
ForG3754 the husbandG435 isG2076 the headG2776 of the wifeG1135, evenG2532 asG5613 ChristG5547 is the headG2776 of the churchG1577: andG2532 heG846 isG2076 the saviourG4990 of the bodyG4983.
ThereforeG235 asG5618 the churchG1577 is subjectG5293 unto ChristG5547, soG3779+G2532 let the wivesG1135 be to their ownG2398 husbandsG435 inG1722 every thingG3956.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
ThatG2443 heG846 might sanctifyG37 and cleanse itG2511 with the washingG3067 of waterG5204 byG1722 the wordG4487,
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.
SoG3779 oughtG3784 menG435 to loveG25 theirG1438 wivesG1135 asG5613 their ownG1438 bodiesG4983. He that lovethG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 lovethG25 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 no manG3762 ever yetG4218 hatedG3404 his ownG1438 fleshG4561; butG235 nourishethG1625 andG2532 cherishethG2282 itG846, even asG2531+G2532 the LordG2962 the churchG1577:
ForG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 of hisG846 bodyG4983, ofG1537 hisG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 bonesG3747.
ForG473 this causeG5127 shallG2641 a manG444 leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall be joinedG4347 untoG4314 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 they twoG1417 shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ThisG5124 isG2076 a greatG3173 mysteryG3466: butG1161 IG1473 speakG3004 concerningG1519 ChristG5547 andG1519+G2532 the churchG1577.
NeverthelessG4133+G2532 letG25 every oneG1520+G1538 of youG5210 in particularG2596 soG3779 loveG25 hisG1438 wifeG1135 even asG5613 himselfG1438; andG1161 the wifeG1135 see thatG2443 she reverenceG5399 her husbandG435.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
WhereG3699 there isG1762 neitherG3756 GreekG1672 norG2532 JewG2453, circumcisionG4061 norG2532 uncircumcisionG203, BarbarianG915, ScythianG4658, bondG1401 nor freeG1658: butG235 ChristG5547 is allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
