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.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, calledG2822 to be an apostleG652, separatedG873 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316,
(WhichG3739 he had promised aforeG4279 byG1223 hisG846 prophetsG4396 inG1722 the holyG40 scripturesG1124,)
ConcerningG4012 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, whichG3588 was madeG1096 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561;
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
ByG1223 whomG3739 we have receivedG2983 graceG5485 andG2532 apostleshipG651, forG1519 obedienceG5218 to the faithG4102 amongG1722 allG3956 nationsG1484, forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686: {for obedience…: or, to the obedience of faith}
AmongG1722 whomG3739 areG2075 yeG5210 alsoG2532 the calledG2822 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To allG3956 that beG5607 inG1722 RomeG4516, belovedG27 of GodG2316, calledG2822 to be saintsG40: GraceG5485 to youG5213 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
FirstG4412+G3303, I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956, thatG3754 yourG5216 faithG4102 is spokenG2605 of throughoutG1722 the wholeG3650 worldG2889.
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 myG3450 witnessG3144, whomG3739 I serveG3000 withG1722 myG3450 spiritG4151 inG1722 the gospelG2098 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG5613 without ceasingG89 I makeG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 alwaysG3842 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335; {with: or, in}
Making requestG1189, if by any meansG1513 nowG2235 at lengthG4218 I might have a prosperous journeyG2137 byG1722 the willG2307 of GodG2316 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209.
ForG1063 I longG1971 to seeG1492 youG5209, thatG2443 I may impartG3330 unto youG5213 someG5100 spiritualG4152 giftG5486, to the endG1519 yeG5209 may be establishedG4741;
ThatG1161+G5124 isG2076, that I may be comforted togetherG4837 withG1722 youG5213 byG1223+G1722 the mutualG240 faithG4102 bothG5037 of youG5216 andG2532 meG1700. {with: or, in}
NowG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50, brethrenG80, thatG3754 oftentimesG4178 I purposedG4388 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, (butG2532 was letG2967 hithertoG891+G1204,) thatG2443 I might haveG2192 someG5100 fruitG2590 amongG1722 youG5213 alsoG2532, even asG2531+G2532 amongG1722 otherG3062 GentilesG1484. {among: or, in}
I amG1510 debtorG3781 bothG5037 to the GreeksG1672, andG2532 to the BarbariansG915; bothG5037 to the wiseG4680, andG2532 to the unwiseG453.
SoG3779, as much asG2596 in me isG1691, I am readyG4289 to preach the gospelG2097 to youG5213 that are atG1722 RomeG4516 alsoG2532.
ForG1063 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: forG1063 it isG2076 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100; to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672.
ForG1063 thereinG1722+G846 isG601 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG1537 faithG4102 toG1519 faithG4102: asG2531 it is writtenG1125+G1161, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who holdG2722 the truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93;
BecauseG1360 that which may be knownG1110 of GodG2316 isG2076 manifestG5318 inG1722 themG846; forG1063 GodG2316 hath shewedG5319 it unto themG846. {in them: or, to them}
ForG1063 the invisible thingsG517 of himG846 fromG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 are clearly seenG2529, being understoodG3539 by the things that are madeG4161, evenG5037 hisG846 eternalG126 powerG1411 andG2532 GodheadG2305; soG1519 that theyG846 areG1511 without excuseG379: {so…: or, that they may be}
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
WhoG3748 changedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 intoG1722 a lieG5579, andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 the creatureG2937 more thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {more: or, rather}
ForG1223 thisG5124 cause GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 untoG1519 vileG819 affectionsG3806: forG1063 evenG5037 theirG846 womenG2338 did changeG3337 the naturalG5446 useG5540 intoG1519 that which is againstG3844 natureG5449:
AndG5037 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the menG730, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 useG5540 of the womanG2338, burnedG1572 inG1722 theirG846 lustG3715 one toward anotherG1519+G240; menG730 withG1722 menG730 workingG2716 that which is unseemlyG808, andG2532 receivingG618 inG1722 themselvesG1438 that recompenceG489 of theirG846 errorG4106 whichG3739 was meetG1163.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
Being filled withG4137 allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, fornicationG4202, wickednessG4189, covetousnessG4124, maliciousnessG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, debateG2054, deceitG1388, malignityG2550; whisperersG5588,
BackbitersG2637, haters of GodG2319, despitefulG5197, proudG5244, boastersG213, inventorsG2182 of evil thingsG2556, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118,
Without understandingG801, covenantbreakersG802, without natural affectionG794, implacableG786, unmercifulG415: {without natural…: or unsociable}
WhoG3748 knowingG1921 the judgmentG1345 of GodG2316, thatG3754 they which commitG4238 such thingsG5108 areG1526 worthyG514 of deathG2288, notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, butG235+G2532 have pleasureG4909 in them that doG4238 them. {have…: or, consent with}
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:
