That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there buildedH1129 he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
And AbramH87 went upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, he, and his wifeH802, and all that he had, and LotH3876 with him, into the southH5045.
And AbramH87 was veryH3966 richH3513 in cattleH4735, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091.
And he wentH3212 on his journeysH4550 from the southH5045 even to BethelH1008, unto the placeH4725 where his tentH168 had beenH1961 at the beginningH8462, between BethelH1008 and HaiH5857;
Unto the placeH4725 of the altarH4196, which he had madeH6213 there at the firstH7223: and there AbramH87 calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And LotH3876 also, which wentH1980 withH854 AbramH87, had flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and tentsH168.
And the landH776 was not able to bearH5375 them, that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162: for their substanceH7399 was greatH7227, so that they couldH3201 not dwellH3427 togetherH3162.
And there was a strifeH7379 between the herdmenH7462 of Abram'sH87 cattleH4735 and the herdmenH7462 of Lot'sH3876 cattleH4735: and the CanaaniteH3669 and the PerizziteH6522 dwelledH3427 then in the landH776.
And AbramH87 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Let there beH1961 noH408 strifeH4808, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmenH7462 and thy herdmenH7462; for weH582 be brethrenH251. {brethren: Heb. men brethren}
Is not the whole landH776 before theeH6440? separate thyselfH6504, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left handH8040, then I will go to the rightH3231; or if thou depart to the right handH3225, then I will go to the leftH8041.
And LotH3876 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and beheldH7200 all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383, that it was well wateredH4945 every where, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 destroyedH7843 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, even as the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068, like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as thou comestH935 unto ZoarH6820.
Then LotH3876 choseH977 him all the plainH3603 of JordanH3383; and LotH3876 journeyedH5265 eastH6924: and they separated themselvesH6504 the oneH376 from the otherH251.
AbramH87 dwelledH3427 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and LotH3876 dwelledH3427 in the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, and pitched his tentH167 towardH5704 SodomH5467.
But the menH582 of SodomH5467 were wickedH7451 and sinnersH2400 before the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH3966.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 where thou art northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924, and westwardH3220:
For all the landH776 which thou seestH7200, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so thatH834 if a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487.
AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for I will giveH5414 it unto thee.
Then AbramH87 removed his tentH167, and cameH935 and dweltH3427 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471, which is in HebronH2275, and builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068. {plain: Heb. plains}
AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the stewardH1121+H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834?
And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, lo, one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423.
And, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heirH3423; but he that shall come forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423.
And he brought him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and tellH5608 the starsH3556, if thou be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be.
And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.
And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423?
And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a she goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469.
And he tookH3947 unto him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872.
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hitherH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.
And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 went downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506. {a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire}
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her. {she…: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!
And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.
And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966+H3966; twelveH6240+H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And he left offH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham'sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240+H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121.
And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121+H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And he saidH559, Take nowH3947 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son IsaacH3327, whom thou lovestH157, and get theeH3212 into the landH776 of MoriahH4179; and offer himH5927 there for a burnt offeringH5930 upon oneH259 of the mountainsH2022 which I will tellH559 thee of.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and tookH3947 twoH8147 of his young menH5288 with him, and IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and claveH1234 the woodH6086 for the burnt offeringH5930, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 unto the placeH4725 of which GodH430 had toldH559 him.
Then on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the placeH4725 afar offH7350.
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his young menH5288, AbideH3427 ye here with the assH2543; and I and the ladH5288 will goH3212 yonderH3541 and worshipH7812, and come againH7725 to you.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 the woodH6086 of the burnt offeringH5930, and laidH7760 it upon IsaacH3327 his sonH1121; and he tookH3947 the fireH784 in his handH3027, and a knifeH3979; and they wentH3212 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162.
And IsaacH3327 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85 his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, Behold the fireH784 and the woodH6086: but where is the lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930? {lamb: or, kid}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, My sonH1121, GodH430 will provideH7200 himself a lambH7716 for a burnt offeringH5930: so they wentH3212 both of themH8147 togetherH3162.
And they cameH935 to the placeH4725 which GodH430 had toldH559 him of; and AbrahamH85 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there, and laidH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and boundH6123 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, and laidH7760 him on the altarH4196 uponH4605 the woodH6086.
And AbrahamH85 stretched forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 the knifeH3979 to slayH7819 his sonH1121.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto him out of heavenH8064, and saidH559, AbrahamH85, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Here am I.
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And AbrahamH85 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and behold behindH310 him a ramH352 caughtH270 in a thicketH5442 by his hornsH7161: and AbrahamH85 wentH3212 and tookH3947 the ramH352, and offered him upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930 in the steadH8478 of his sonH1121.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 calledH7121 unto AbrahamH85 out of heavenH8064 the second timeH8145,
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his young menH5288, and they rose upH6965 and wentH3212 togetherH3162 to BeershebaH884; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at BeershebaH884.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was ReumahH7208, she bareH3205 also TebahH2875, and GahamH1514, and ThahashH8477, and MaachahH4601.
ThereforeG1352 leavingG863 the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342 untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598 againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316, {principles…: or, word of the beginning of}
Of the doctrineG1322 of baptismsG909, andG5037 of laying onG1936 of handsG5495, andG5037 of resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, andG2532 of eternalG166 judgmentG2917.
AndG2532 thisG5124 will we doG4160, ifG1437+G4007 GodG2316 permitG2010.
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
AndG2532 have tastedG1089 the goodG2570 wordG4487 of GodG2316, andG5037 the powersG1411 of the worldG165 to comeG3195,
IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895, to renew themG340 againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388, andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.
ForG1063 the earthG1093 whichG3588 drinketh inG4095 the rainG5205 that comethG2064 oftG4178 uponG1909 itG846, andG2532 bringeth forthG5088 herbsG1008 meetG2111 for themG1565+G2532 byG1223 whomG3739 it is dressedG1090, receivethG3335 blessingG2129 fromG575 GodG2316: {by: or, for}
ButG1161 that which bearethG1627 thornsG173 andG2532 briersG5146 is rejectedG96, andG2532 is nighG1451 unto cursingG2671; whoseG3739 endG5056 is toG1519 be burnedG2740.
ButG1161, belovedG27, we are persuadedG3982 better thingsG2909 ofG4012 youG5216, andG2532 things that accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, thoughG1499 weG2980 thusG3779 speakG2980.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192 swearG3660 byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660 byG2596 himselfG1438,
SayingG3004, SurelyG2229+G3375 blessingG2127 I will blessG2127 theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129 I will multiplyG4129 theeG4571.
AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.
WhereinG1722+G3739 GodG2316, willingG1014 more abundantlyG4054 to shewG1925 unto the heirsG2818 of promiseG1860 the immutabilityG276 of hisG846 counselG1012, confirmedG3315 it by an oathG3727: {confirmed…: Gr. interposed himself by}
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
WhitherG3699 the forerunnerG4274 isG1525 forG5228 usG2257 enteredG1525, even JesusG2424, madeG1096 an high priestG749 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
And saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for becauseH3282+H834 thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697, and hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son:
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
Even asG2531 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was accountedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343. {accounted: or, imputed}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
YeG5210 areG2075 the childrenG5207 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 madeG1303 withG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, sayingG3004 untoG4314 AbrahamG11, AndG2532 in thyG4675 seedG4690 shallG1757 allG3956 the kindredsG3965 of the earthG1093 be blessedG1757.
That in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavenH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; {shore: Heb. lip}
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:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 andG2532 accessG4318 withG1722 confidenceG4006 byG1223 the faithG4102 of himG846.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
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}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
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}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
TheseG5128 twelveG1427 JesusG2424 sent forthG649, and commandedG3853 themG846, sayingG3004, GoG565 notG3361 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of the GentilesG1484, andG2532 intoG1519 any cityG4172 of the SamaritansG4541 enter yeG1525 notG3361:
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.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
But in the lastH319 daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and it shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and peopleH5971 shall flowH5102 unto it.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall comeH1980, and sayH559, ComeH3212, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, and to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for the lawH8451 shall go forthH3318 of ZionH6726, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
And he shall judgeH8199 among manyH7227 peopleH5971, and rebukeH3198 strongH6099 nationsH1471 afar offH7350; and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855, and their spearsH2595 into pruninghooksH4211: nationH1471 shall not lift upH5375 a swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
The nationsH1471 shall seeH7200 and be confoundedH954 at all their mightH1369: they shall layH7760 their handH3027 upon their mouthH6310, their earsH241 shall be deafH2790.
They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175, they shall moveH7264 out of their holesH4526 like wormsH2119 of the earthH776: they shall be afraidH6342 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and shall fearH3372 because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}
At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
(ButG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 ofG4012 the SpiritG4151, whichG3739 they that believeG4100 onG1519 himG846 shouldG3195 receiveG2983: forG1063 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 not yetG3768 given; becauseG3754 that JesusG2424 wasG1392 not yetG3764 glorifiedG1392.)
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}
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
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.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG5213 GentilesG1484, inasmuch asG1909+G3745+G3303 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG3450 officeG1248:
If by any meansG1513+G4458 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, butG1508 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498?
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
AndG1161 if someG1536 of the branchesG2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG5607 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffed inG1461 amongG1722 themG846, andG2532 withG4791 themG1096 partakestG4791 of the rootG4491 andG2532 fatnessG4096 of the olive treeG1636; {among them: or, for them}
BoastG2620 notG3361 againstG2620 the branchesG2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG4491, butG235 the rootG4491 theeG4571.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461.
WellG2573; because of unbeliefG570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399:
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798+G2596, take heed lestG4458+G3381 heG5339 alsoG3381 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4675.
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098+G3303, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4571, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 in his goodnessG5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG3362 they abideG1961 notG3362 still in unbeliefG570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825.
ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cutG1581 out ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall theseG3778, which be the naturalG2596+G5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
Then thou shalt seeH7200+H3372, and flow togetherH5102, and thine heartH3824 shall fearH6342, and be enlargedH7337; because the abundanceH1995 of the seaH3220 shall be convertedH2015 unto thee, the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee. {abundance…: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
Surely the islesH339 shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
And the sonsH1121 of strangersH5236 shall build upH1129 thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smoteH5221 thee, but in my favourH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee.
Therefore thy gatesH8179 shall be openH6605 continuallyH8548; they shall not be shutH5462 dayH3119 nor nightH3915; that men may bringH935 unto thee the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and that their kingsH4428 may be broughtH5090. {forces: or, wealth}
For the nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 that will not serveH5647 thee shall perishH6; yea, those nationsH1471 shall be utterlyH2717 wastedH2717.
For I the LORDH3068 loveH157 judgmentH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 for burnt offeringH5930; and I will directH5414 their workH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.
And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the GentilesH1471, and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288.
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
InG1722 holinessG3742 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 beforeG1799 himG846, allG3956 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
To giveG1325 knowledgeG1108 of salvationG4991 unto hisG846 peopleG2992 byG1722 the remissionG859 of theirG846 sinsG266, {by: or, for}
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
But thou shalt goH3212 unto my countryH776, and to my kindredH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
For from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 even unto the going downH3996 of the same my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the GentilesH1471; and in every placeH4725 incenseH6999 shall be offeredH5066 unto my nameH8034, and a pureH2889 offeringH4503: for my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the heathenH1471, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
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 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048, {written: or, enrolled}
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
And I will putH7896 enmityH342 between thee and the womanH802, and between thy seedH2233 and her seedH2233; it shall bruiseH7779 thy headH7218, and thou shalt bruiseH7779 his heelH6119.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
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.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG5213 GentilesG1484, inasmuch asG1909+G3745+G3303 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG3450 officeG1248:
If by any meansG1513+G4458 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, butG1508 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498?
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
AndG1161 if someG1536 of the branchesG2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG5607 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffed inG1461 amongG1722 themG846, andG2532 withG4791 themG1096 partakestG4791 of the rootG4491 andG2532 fatnessG4096 of the olive treeG1636; {among them: or, for them}
BoastG2620 notG3361 againstG2620 the branchesG2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG4491, butG235 the rootG4491 theeG4571.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461.
WellG2573; because of unbeliefG570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399:
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798+G2596, take heed lestG4458+G3381 heG5339 alsoG3381 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4675.
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098+G3303, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4571, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 in his goodnessG5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG3362 they abideG1961 notG3362 still in unbeliefG570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825.
ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cutG1581 out ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall theseG3778, which be the naturalG2596+G5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
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}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:

ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
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}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
OG5599 foolishG453 GalatiansG1052, whoG5101 hath bewitchedG940 youG5209, that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225, beforeG2596 whoseG3739 eyesG3788 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath been evidently set forthG4270, crucifiedG4717 amongG1722 youG5213?
ThisG5124 onlyG3440 wouldG2309 I learnG3129 ofG575 youG5216, Received yeG2983 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Are yeG2075 soG3779 foolishG453? having begunG1728 in the SpiritG4151, are yeG2005 nowG3568 made perfectG2005 by the fleshG4561?
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
He thereforeG3767 that ministerethG2023 to youG5213 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 workethG1754 miraclesG1411 amongG1722 youG5213, doeth he it byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, orG2228 byG1537 the hearingG189 of faithG4102?
Even asG2531 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was accountedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343. {accounted: or, imputed}
Know yeG1097 thereforeG686 thatG3754 they which are ofG1537 faithG4102, the sameG3778 areG1526 the childrenG5207 of AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 the scriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 thatG3754 GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying,G3754 InG1722 theeG4671 shallG1757 allG3956 nationsG1484 be blessedG1757.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; Though it be butG3676 a man'sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. {covenant: or, testament}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 after that faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG2070 no longerG2089+G3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807.
ForG1063 ye areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of GodG2316 byG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 as many of you asG3745 have been baptizedG907 intoG1519 ChristG5547 have put onG1746 ChristG5547.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 ifG1487 yeG5210 be Christ'sG5547, thenG686 are yeG2075 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the promiseG1860.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a newG2537 heavenG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093: forG1063 the firstG4413 heavenG3772 andG2532 the firstG4413 earthG1093 were passed awayG3928; andG2532 there wasG2076 noG3756 moreG2089 seaG2281.
AndG2532 IG1473 JohnG2491 sawG1492 the holyG40 cityG4172, newG2537 JerusalemG2419, coming downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, preparedG2090 asG5613 a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for herG846 husbandG435.
AndG2532 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 is withG3326 menG444, andG2532 he will dwellG4637 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 hisG846 peopleG2992, andG2532 GodG2316 himselfG846 shall beG2071 withG3326 themG846, and be theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 GodG2316 shall wipe awayG1813 allG3956 tearsG1144 fromG575 theirG846 eyesG3788; andG2532 there shall beG2071 noG3756 moreG2089 deathG2288, neitherG3777 sorrowG3997, norG3777 cryingG2906, neitherG3777+G3756 shall there beG2071 any moreG2089 painG4192: forG3754 the former thingsG4413 are passed awayG565.
AndG2532 he that satG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362 saidG2036, BeholdG2400, I makeG4160 all thingsG3956 newG2537. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, WriteG1125: forG3754 theseG3778 wordsG3056 areG1526 trueG228 andG2532 faithfulG4103.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto meG3427, It is doneG1096. IG1473 amG1510 AlphaG1 andG2532 OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 andG2532 the endG5056. IG1473 will giveG1325 unto him that is athirstG1372 ofG1537 the fountainG4077 of the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freelyG1432.
He that overcomethG3528 shall inheritG2816 all thingsG3956; andG2532 I will beG2071 hisG846 GodG2316, andG2532 heG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonG5207. {all things: or, these things}
ButG1161 the fearfulG1169, andG2532 unbelievingG571, andG2532 the abominableG948, andG2532 murderersG5406, andG2532 whoremongersG4205, andG2532 sorcerersG5332, andG2532 idolatersG1496, andG2532 allG3956 liarsG5571, shall have theirG846 partG3313 inG1722 the lakeG3041 whichG3588 burnethG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303: which isG3603 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
