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:
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:
ButG235 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the foolish thingsG3474 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the wiseG4680; andG2532 GodG2316 hath chosenG1586 the weak thingsG772 of the worldG2889 toG2443 confoundG2617 the things which are mightyG2478;
ButG1161 we haveG2192 thisG5126 treasureG2344 inG1722 earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, thatG2443 the excellencyG5236 of the powerG1411 may beG5600 of GodG2316, andG2532 notG3361 ofG1537 usG2257.
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG5101 is it that I hearG191 thisG5124 ofG4012 theeG4675? giveG591 an accountG3056 of thyG4675 stewardshipG3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621.
ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756+G2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153.
I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3622, they may receiveG1209 meG3165 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3624.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 that faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whomG3739 his lordG2962 shall make rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 them their portion of meatG4620 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 unto himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5224.
ThenG1161 the stewardG3623 saidG2036 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG3450 lordG2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1700 the stewardshipG3622: I cannotG3756+G2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153.
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
LetG3049 a manG444 soG3779 accountG3049 of usG2248, asG5613 of the ministersG5257 of ChristG5547, andG2532 stewardsG3623 of the mysteriesG3466 of GodG2316.
MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 of the fatherG3962.
GaiusG1050 mineG3450 hostG3581, andG2532 of the wholeG3650 churchG1577, salutethG782 youG5209. ErastusG2037 the chamberlainG3623 of the cityG4172 salutethG782 youG5209, andG2532 QuartusG2890 a brotherG80.
ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238 this thingG5124 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100.
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; {to fulfil…: or, fully to preach the word}
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
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:
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}
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
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;
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:
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;
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:
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,
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
