IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962;
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG5209: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361.
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444.
IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as lieth inG1537 youG5216, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50, how thatG3754 allG3956 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wereG2258 underG5259 the cloudG3507, andG2532 allG3956 passedG1330 throughG1223 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 wereG907 allG3956 baptizedG907 untoG1519 MosesG3475 inG1722 the cloudG3507 andG2532 inG1722 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 didG5315 allG3956 eatG5315 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 meatG1033;
AndG2532 didG4095 allG3956 drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4188: forG1063 they drankG4095 ofG1537 that spiritualG4152 RockG4073 that followed themG190: andG1161 that RockG4073 wasG2258 ChristG5547. {followed…: or, went with them}
ButG235 withG1722 manyG4119 of themG846 GodG2316 wasG2106 notG3756 well pleasedG2106: forG1063 they were overthrownG2693 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
NowG1161 these thingsG5023 wereG1096 ourG2257 examplesG5179, to the intentG1519 weG2248 shouldG1511 notG3361 lust after evilG2556 thingsG1938, asG2531 they alsoG2548 lustedG1937. {our…: Gr. our figures}
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
NeitherG3366 let us commit fornicationG4203, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 committedG4203, andG2532 fellG4098 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250 threeG5140 and twentyG1501 thousandG5505.
NeitherG3366 let us temptG1598 ChristG5547, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 temptedG3985, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 serpentsG3789.
NeitherG3366 murmur yeG1111, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 murmuredG1111, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 the destroyerG3644.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
WhereforeG5620 letG991 him that thinkethG1380 he standethG2476 take heedG991 lestG3361 he fallG4098.
There hathG2983 noG3756 temptationG3986 takenG2983 youG5209 butG1508 such as is common to manG442: butG1161 GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, whoG3739 willG1439 notG3756 sufferG1439 youG5209 to be temptedG3985 aboveG5228 thatG3739 ye are ableG1410; butG235 willG4160 withG4862 the temptationG3986 alsoG2532 makeG4160 a way to escapeG1545, that yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to bearG5297 it. {common…: or, moderate}
WhereforeG1355, myG3450 dearly belovedG27, fleeG5343 fromG575 idolatryG1495.
I speakG3004 asG5613 to wise menG5429; judgeG2919 yeG5210 whatG3739 I sayG5346.
The cupG4221 of blessingG2129 whichG3739 we blessG2127, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bloodG129 of ChristG5547? The breadG740 whichG3739 we breakG2806, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547?
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
BeholdG991 IsraelG2474 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: areG1526 notG3780 theyG1526 which eatG2068 of the sacrificesG2378 partakersG2844 of the altarG2379?
WhatG5101 say IG5346 thenG3767? thatG3754 the idolG1497 isG2076 any thingG5100, orG2228 thatG3754 which is offered in sacrifice to idolsG1494 isG2076 any thingG5100?
ButG235 I say, thatG3754 the things whichG3739 the GentilesG1484 sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to devilsG1140, andG2532 notG3756 to GodG2316: andG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should haveG1096 fellowshipG2844 with devilsG1140.
Ye cannotG3756+G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, andG2532 the cupG4221 of devilsG1140: ye cannotG3756+G1410 be partakersG3348 of the Lord'sG2962 tableG5132, andG2532 of the tableG5132 of devilsG1140.
Do we provokeG2228+G3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? are weG2070 stronger thanG3361+G2478 heG846?
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
ForG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 by graceG5485 be a partakerG3348, whyG5101 am I evil spoken ofG987 for thatG5228 for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168? {grace: or, thanksgiving}
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
GiveG1096 none offenceG677, neitherG2532 to the JewsG2453, norG2532 to the GentilesG1672, norG2532 to the churchG1577 of GodG2316: {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
Even asG2531 IG2504 pleaseG700 allG3956 men in allG3956 things, notG3361 seekingG2212 mine ownG1683 profitG4851, butG235 the profitG3588 of manyG4183, thatG2443 they may be savedG4982.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325 graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658 inG1519 the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG4138 of ChristG5547: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried about withG4064 everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722+G3834, wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG5547;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mindG3563;
AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742. {true…: or, holiness of truth}
WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
AndG1161 beG1096 ye kindG5543 one to anotherG1519+G240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, even asG2531+G2532 GodG2316 forG1722 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 hath forgivenG5483 youG5213.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimotheusG5095 our brotherG80,
To the saintsG40 andG2532 faithfulG4103 brethrenG80 inG1722 ChristG5547 which are atG1722 ColosseG2857: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AsG2531 yeG3129 alsoG2532 learnedG3129 ofG575 EpaphrasG1889 ourG2257 dearG27 fellowservantG4889, whoG3739 isG2076 forG5228 youG5216 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547;
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 alsoG2532, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 we heardG191 it, doG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 with the knowledgeG1922 of hisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understandingG4907;
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
Giving thanksG2168 unto the FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath madeG2427 usG2248 meetG2427 toG1519 be partakersG3310 of the inheritanceG2819 of the saintsG40 inG1722 lightG5457:
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, even the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
WhoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of everyG3956 creatureG2937:
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
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}
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
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}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 IG2872 alsoG2532 labourG2872, strivingG75 according toG2596 hisG846 workingG1753, whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 meG1698 mightilyG1722+G1411.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 that yeG5209 knewG1492 what greatG2245 conflictG73 I haveG2192 forG4012 youG5216, andG2532 for them atG1722 LaodiceaG2993, andG2532 for as many asG3745 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 myG3450 faceG4383 inG1722 the fleshG4561; {conflict: or, fear, or, care}
ThatG2443 theirG846 heartsG2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG26, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG5547;
InG1722 whomG3739 areG1526 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108. {In whom: or, Wherein}
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, lestG3363 any manG5100 should beguileG3884 youG5209 withG1722 enticing wordsG4086.
ForG1063 thoughG1499 I be absentG548 in the fleshG4561, yetG235 am IG1510 withG4862 youG5213 in the spiritG4151, joyingG5463 andG2532 beholdingG991 yourG5216 orderG5010, andG2532 the stedfastnessG4733 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.
AsG5613 ye haveG3880 thereforeG3767 receivedG3880 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962, so walk yeG4043 inG1722 himG846:
RootedG4492 andG2532 built upG2026 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 stablishedG950 inG1722 the faithG4102, asG2531 ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 thereinG1722+G846 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169.
BewareG991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG2071+G4812 youG5209 throughG1223 philosophyG5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG539, afterG2596 the traditionG3862 of menG444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray}
ForG3754 inG1722 himG846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of the GodheadG2320 bodilyG4985.
AndG2532 ye areG2075 completeG4137 inG1722 himG846, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776 of allG3956 principalityG746 andG2532 powerG1849:
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG886, inG1722 putting offG555 the bodyG4983 of the sinsG266 of the fleshG4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547:
Buried withG4916 himG846 inG1722 baptismG908, whereinG1722+G3739 alsoG2532 ye are risen withG4891 him throughG1223 the faithG4102 of the operationG1753 of GodG2316, whoG3588 hath raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 youG5209, beingG5607 deadG3498 inG1722 your sinsG3900 andG2532 the uncircumcisionG203 of yourG5216 fleshG4561, hath he quickened togetherG4806 withG4862 himG846, having forgivenG5483 youG5213 allG3956 trespassesG3900;
Blotting outG1813 the handwritingG5498 of ordinancesG1378 that was againstG2596 usG2257, whichG3739 wasG2258 contraryG5227 to usG2254, andG2532 tookG142 itG846 out ofG1537 the wayG3319, nailingG4338 itG846 to his crossG4716;
And having spoiledG554 principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, he made a shew of themG1165 openlyG1722+G3954, triumphing overG2358 themG846 inG1722 itG846. {in it: or, in himself}
LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: {in meat…: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part}
WhichG3739 areG2076 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG5547.
LetG2603 no manG3367 beguileG2603 youG5209 of your rewardG2603 inG1722 a voluntaryG2309 humilityG5012 andG2532 worshippingG2356 of angelsG32, intruding intoG1687 those things whichG3739 he hathG3708 notG3361 seenG3708, vainlyG1500 puffed upG5448 byG5259 hisG846 fleshlyG4561 mindG3563, {beguile…: or, judge against you} {in a…: Gr. being a voluntary in humility}
AndG2532 notG3756 holdingG2902 the HeadG2776, fromG1537 whichG3739 allG3956 the bodyG4983 byG1223 jointsG860 andG2532 bandsG4886 having nourishment ministeredG2023, andG2532 knit togetherG4822, increasethG837 with the increaseG838 of GodG2316.
WhereforeG3767 ifG1487 ye be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547 fromG575 the rudimentsG4747 of the worldG2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 livingG2198 inG1722 the worldG2889, are ye subject to ordinancesG1379, {rudiments: or, elements}
(TouchG680 notG3361; tasteG1089 notG3366; handleG2345 notG3366;
WhichG3739 allG3956 areG2076 toG1519 perishG5356 with the usingG671;) afterG2596 the commandmentsG1778 andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of menG444?
Which thingsG3748 haveG2192 indeedG3303 a shewG2076+G3056 of wisdomG4678 inG1722 will worshipG1479, andG2532 humilityG5012, andG2532 neglectingG857 of the bodyG4983; notG3756 inG1722 anyG5100 honourG5092 toG4314 the satisfyingG4140 of the fleshG4561. {neglecting: or, punishing, or, not sparing}
IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
AndG1161 afterG3326 the uproarG2351 was ceasedG3973, PaulG3972 calledG4341 unto him the disciplesG3101, andG2532 embracedG782 them, and departedG1831 for to goG4198 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109.
AndG1161 when he had gone overG1330 thoseG1565 partsG3313, andG2532 had givenG4183 themG846 muchG4183 exhortationG3870+G3056, he cameG2064 intoG1519 GreeceG1671,
AndG5037 there abodeG4160 threeG5140 monthsG3376. And when the JewsG5259+G2453 laidG1096 waitG1917 for himG846, as he was aboutG3195 to sailG321 intoG1519 SyriaG4947, he purposedG1096+G1106 to returnG5290 throughG1223 MacedoniaG3109.
AndG1161 there accompaniedG4902 himG846 intoG891 AsiaG773 SopaterG4986 of BereaG961; andG1161 of the ThessaloniansG2331, AristarchusG708 andG2532 SecundusG4580; andG2532 GaiusG1050 of DerbeG1190, andG2532 TimotheusG5095; andG1161 of AsiaG774, TychicusG5190 andG2532 TrophimusG5161.
TheseG3778 going beforeG4281 tarriedG3306 for usG2248 atG1722 TroasG5174.
AndG1161 weG2249 sailed awayG1602 fromG575 PhilippiG5375 afterG3326 the daysG2250 of unleavened breadG106, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 themG846 toG1519 TroasG5174 inG891 fiveG4002 daysG2250; whereG3757 we abodeG1304 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
AndG1161 uponG1722 the firstG3391 day of the weekG4521, when the disciplesG3101 came togetherG4863 to breakG2806 breadG740, PaulG3972 preachedG1256 unto themG846, readyG3195 to departG1826 on the morrowG1887; andG5037 continuedG3905 his speechG3056 untilG3360 midnightG3317.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 manyG2425 lightsG2985 inG1722 the upper chamberG5253, whereG3757 they wereG2258 gathered togetherG4863.
AndG1161 there satG2521 inG1909 a windowG2376 a certainG5100 young manG3494 namedG3686 EutychusG2161, being fallenG2702 into a deepG901 sleepG5258: and as PaulG3972 was longG1909+G4119 preachingG1256, he sunk downG2702 withG575 sleepG5258, and fell downG2736+G4098 fromG575 the third loftG5152, andG2532 was taken upG142 deadG3498.
AndG1161 PaulG3972 went downG2597, and fell onG1968 himG846, andG2532 embracingG4843 him saidG2036, TroubleG2350 notG3361 yourselvesG2350; forG1063 hisG846 lifeG5590 isG2076 inG1722 himG846.
WhenG1161 heG305 therefore was come up againG305, andG2532 had brokenG2806 breadG740, andG2532 eatenG1089, andG5037 talkedG3656+G1909 a long whileG2425, even tillG891 break of dayG827, soG3779 he departedG1831.
AndG1161 they broughtG71 the young manG3816 aliveG2198, andG2532 wereG3870 notG3756 a littleG3357 comfortedG3870.
AndG1161 weG2249 went beforeG4281 toG1909 shipG4143, and sailedG321 untoG1519 AssosG789, thereG1564 intendingG3195 to take inG353 PaulG3972: forG1063 soG3779 had heG2258 appointedG1299, mindingG3195 himselfG846 to go afootG3978.
AndG1161 whenG5613 he metG4820 with usG2254 atG1519 AssosG789, we tookG353 himG846 inG353, and cameG2064 toG1519 MityleneG3412.
AndG2547 we sailedG636 thenceG2547, and cameG2658 the nextG1966 day over againstG481 ChiosG5508; andG1161 the nextG2087 day we arrivedG3846 atG1519 SamosG4544, andG2532 tarriedG3306 atG1722 TrogylliumG5175; and the nextG2192 day we cameG2064 toG1519 MiletusG3399.
ForG1063 PaulG3972 had determinedG2919 to sail byG3896 EphesusG2181, becauseG3704 heG846 wouldG1096 notG3361 spend the timeG5551 inG1722 AsiaG773: forG1063 he hastedG4692, ifG1487 it wereG2258 possibleG1415 for himG846, to beG1096 atG1519 JerusalemG2414 the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005.
AndG1161 fromG575 MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 toG1519 EphesusG2181, and calledG3333 the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577.
AndG1161 whenG5613 they were comeG3854 toG4314 himG846, he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987, fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 thatG575+G3739 I cameG1910 intoG1519 AsiaG773, after what mannerG4459 I have beenG1096 withG3326 youG5216 at allG3956 seasonsG5550,
ServingG1398 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 humility of mindG5012, andG2532 with manyG4183 tearsG1144, andG2532 temptationsG3986, whichG3588 befellG4819 meG3427 byG1722 the lying in waitG1917 of the JewsG2453:
And howG5613 I kept backG5288 nothingG3762 that was profitableG4851 unto you, butG3361 have shewedG312 youG5213, andG2532 have taughtG1321 youG5209 publicklyG1219, andG2532 fromG2596 house to houseG3624,
TestifyingG1263 bothG5037 to the JewsG2453, and alsoG2532 to the GreeksG1672, repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316, andG2532 faithG4102 towardG1519 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, IG1473 goG4198 boundG1210 in the spiritG4151 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, notG3361 knowingG1492 the things that shall befallG4876 meG3427 thereG1722+G846:
SaveG4133 thatG3754 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 witnessethG1263 in everyG2596 cityG4172, sayingG3004 thatG3754 bondsG1199 andG2532 afflictionsG2347 abideG3306 meG3165. {abide me: or, wait for me}
ButG235 noneG3762 of these thingsG3056 move meG4160, neitherG3761 count IG2192 myG3450 lifeG5590 dearG5093 unto myselfG1683, soG5613 that I might finishG5048 myG3450 courseG1408 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 the ministryG1248, whichG3739 I have receivedG2983 ofG3844 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG2098 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 yeG5210 allG3956, amongG1722 whomG3739 I have goneG1330 preachingG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, shall seeG3700 myG3450 faceG4383 no moreG3765.
WhereforeG1352 I takeG3143 youG5213 to recordG3143 thisG1722+G4594 dayG2250, thatG3754 IG1473 am pureG2513 fromG575 the bloodG129 of allG3956 men.
ForG1063 I haveG5288 notG3756+G3361 shunnedG5288 to declareG312 unto youG5213 allG3956 the counselG1012 of GodG2316.
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
AndG2532 nowG3569, brethrenG80, I commendG3908 youG5209 to GodG2316, andG2532 to the wordG3056 of hisG846 graceG5485, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to build you upG2026, andG2532 to giveG1325 youG5213 an inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 allG3956 them which are sanctifiedG37.
I have covetedG1937 no man'sG3762 silverG694, orG2228 goldG5553, orG2228 apparelG2441.
YeaG1161, ye yourselvesG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 theseG3778 handsG5495 have ministeredG5256 unto myG3450 necessitiesG5532, andG2532 to them that wereG5607 withG3326 meG1700.
I have shewedG5263 youG5213 all thingsG3956, how thatG3754 soG3779 labouringG2872 ye oughtG1163 to supportG482 the weakG770, andG5037 to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, howG3754 heG846 saidG2036, It isG2076 moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.
AndG2532 when he had thusG5023 spokenG2036, heG846 kneeledG1119 downG5087, and prayedG4336 withG4862 themG846 allG3956.
AndG1161 they allG3956 weptG2805+G1096 soreG2425, andG2532 fellG1968 onG1909 Paul'sG3972 neckG5137, and kissedG2705 himG846,
SorrowingG3600 most of allG3122 forG1909 the wordsG3056 whichG3739 he spakeG2046, thatG3754 they shouldG3195 seeG2334 hisG846 faceG4383 no moreG3765. AndG1161 they accompaniedG4311 himG846 untoG1519 the shipG4143.
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
AndG2532 nowG3569, brethrenG80, I commendG3908 youG5209 to GodG2316, andG2532 to the wordG3056 of hisG846 graceG5485, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to build you upG2026, andG2532 to giveG1325 youG5213 an inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 allG3956 them which are sanctifiedG37.
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767, myG3450 sonG5043, be strongG1743 inG1722 the graceG5485 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG2076 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739+G3303 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
ForG1063 I rejoicedG5463 greatlyG3029, when the brethrenG80 cameG2064 andG2532 testifiedG3140 of the truthG225 that is in theeG4675, even asG2531 thouG4771 walkestG4043 inG1722 the truthG225.
DemetriusG1216 hath good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 men, andG2532 ofG5259 the truthG225 itselfG846: yeaG1161, andG2532 weG2249 also bear recordG3140; andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ourG2257 recordG3141 isG2076 trueG227.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, SeeH7200, thou sayestH559 unto me, Bring upH5927 this peopleH5971: and thou hast not let me knowH3045 whom thou wilt sendH7971 with me. Yet thou hast saidH559, I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034, and thou hast also foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, shewH3045 me now thy wayH1870, that I may knowH3045 thee, that I may findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869: and considerH7200 that this nationH1471 is thy peopleH5971.
And he saidH559, My presenceH6440 shall goH3212 with thee, and I will give thee restH5117.
And he saidH559 unto him, If thy presenceH6440 goH1980 not with me, carry us not upH5927 hence.
For wherein shall it be knownH3045 hereH645 that I and thy peopleH5971 have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869? is it not in that thou goestH3212 with us? so shall we be separatedH6395, I and thy peopleH5971, from all the peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I will doH6213 this thingH1697 also that thou hast spokenH1696: for thou hast foundH4672 graceH2580 in my sightH5869, and I knowH3045 thee by nameH8034.
And when the LORDH3068 raisedH6965 them up judgesH8199, then the LORDH3068 was with the judgeH8199, and deliveredH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH341 all the daysH3117 of the judgeH8199: for it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 becauseH6440 of their groaningsH5009 by reason of them that oppressedH3905 them and vexedH1766 them.
And offeredH7127 at the dedicationH2597 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426 an hundredH3969 bullocksH8450, two hundredH3969 ramsH1798, fourH703 hundredH3969 lambsH563; and for a sin offeringH2402+H2409 forH5922 allH3606 IsraelH3479, twelveH8648+H6236 heH6841 goatsH5796, according to the numberH4510 of the tribesH7625 of IsraelH3479.
Then were assembledH622 unto me every one that trembledH2730 at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, because of the transgressionH4604 of those that had been carried awayH1473; and I satH3427 astoniedH8074 until the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.
And at the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503 I arose upH6965 from my heavinessH8589; and having rentH7167 my garmentH899 and my mantleH4598, I fellH3766 upon my kneesH1290, and spread outH6566 my handsH3709 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, {heaviness: or, affliction}
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
And now for a littleH4592 spaceH7281 graceH8467 hath been shewed from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to leaveH7604 us a remnant to escapeH6413, and to giveH5414 us a nailH3489 in his holyH6944 placeH4725, that our GodH430 may lightenH215 our eyesH5869, and giveH5414 us a littleH4592 revivingH4241 in our bondageH5659. {space: Heb. moment} {a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode}
For we were bondmenH5650; yet our GodH430 hath not forsakenH5800 us in our bondageH5659, but hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto us in the sightH6440 of the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539, to giveH5414 us a revivingH4241, to set upH7311 the houseH1004 of our GodH430, and to repairH5975 the desolationsH2723 thereof, and to giveH5414 us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389. {to repair: Heb. to set up}
And now, O our GodH430, what shall we sayH559 afterH310 this? for we have forsakenH5800 thy commandmentsH4687,
Which thou hast commandedH6680 byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, The landH776, unto which ye goH935 to possessH3423 it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, with their abominationsH8441, which have filledH4390 it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleannessH2932. {by: Heb. by the hand of} {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Now therefore giveH5414 not your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, neither takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, nor seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their wealthH2896 forH5704 everH5769: that ye may be strongH2388, and eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH3423 to your childrenH1121 for everH5769.
And afterH310 all that is comeH935 upon us for our evilH7451 deedsH4639, and for our greatH1419 trespassH819, seeing that thou our GodH430 hast punishedH2820 us lessH4295 than our iniquitiesH5771 deserve, and hast givenH5414 us such deliveranceH6413 as this; {hast punished…: Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities}
Should we againH7725 breakH6565 thy commandmentsH4687, and join in affinityH2859 with the peopleH5971 of these abominationsH8441? wouldest not thou be angryH599 with us till thou hadst consumedH3615 us, so that there should be no remnantH7611 nor escapingH6413?
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thou art righteousH6662: for we remainH7604 yet escapedH6413, as it is this dayH3117: behold, we are beforeH6440 thee in our trespassesH819: for we cannot standH5975 beforeH6440 thee because of this.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50, how thatG3754 allG3956 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wereG2258 underG5259 the cloudG3507, andG2532 allG3956 passedG1330 throughG1223 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 wereG907 allG3956 baptizedG907 untoG1519 MosesG3475 inG1722 the cloudG3507 andG2532 inG1722 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 didG5315 allG3956 eatG5315 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 meatG1033;
AndG2532 didG4095 allG3956 drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4188: forG1063 they drankG4095 ofG1537 that spiritualG4152 RockG4073 that followed themG190: andG1161 that RockG4073 wasG2258 ChristG5547. {followed…: or, went with them}
ButG235 withG1722 manyG4119 of themG846 GodG2316 wasG2106 notG3756 well pleasedG2106: forG1063 they were overthrownG2693 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
NowG1161 these thingsG5023 wereG1096 ourG2257 examplesG5179, to the intentG1519 weG2248 shouldG1511 notG3361 lust after evilG2556 thingsG1938, asG2531 they alsoG2548 lustedG1937. {our…: Gr. our figures}
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
NeitherG3366 let us commit fornicationG4203, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 committedG4203, andG2532 fellG4098 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250 threeG5140 and twentyG1501 thousandG5505.
NeitherG3366 let us temptG1598 ChristG5547, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 temptedG3985, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 serpentsG3789.
NeitherG3366 murmur yeG1111, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 murmuredG1111, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 the destroyerG3644.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
WhereforeG5620 letG991 him that thinkethG1380 he standethG2476 take heedG991 lestG3361 he fallG4098.
There hathG2983 noG3756 temptationG3986 takenG2983 youG5209 butG1508 such as is common to manG442: butG1161 GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, whoG3739 willG1439 notG3756 sufferG1439 youG5209 to be temptedG3985 aboveG5228 thatG3739 ye are ableG1410; butG235 willG4160 withG4862 the temptationG3986 alsoG2532 makeG4160 a way to escapeG1545, that yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to bearG5297 it. {common…: or, moderate}
WhereforeG1355, myG3450 dearly belovedG27, fleeG5343 fromG575 idolatryG1495.
I speakG3004 asG5613 to wise menG5429; judgeG2919 yeG5210 whatG3739 I sayG5346.
The cupG4221 of blessingG2129 whichG3739 we blessG2127, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bloodG129 of ChristG5547? The breadG740 whichG3739 we breakG2806, is itG2076 notG3780 the communionG2842 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547?
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
BeholdG991 IsraelG2474 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: areG1526 notG3780 theyG1526 which eatG2068 of the sacrificesG2378 partakersG2844 of the altarG2379?
WhatG5101 say IG5346 thenG3767? thatG3754 the idolG1497 isG2076 any thingG5100, orG2228 thatG3754 which is offered in sacrifice to idolsG1494 isG2076 any thingG5100?
ButG235 I say, thatG3754 the things whichG3739 the GentilesG1484 sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to devilsG1140, andG2532 notG3756 to GodG2316: andG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should haveG1096 fellowshipG2844 with devilsG1140.
Ye cannotG3756+G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, andG2532 the cupG4221 of devilsG1140: ye cannotG3756+G1410 be partakersG3348 of the Lord'sG2962 tableG5132, andG2532 of the tableG5132 of devilsG1140.
Do we provokeG2228+G3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? are weG2070 stronger thanG3361+G2478 heG846?
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
ForG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 by graceG5485 be a partakerG3348, whyG5101 am I evil spoken ofG987 for thatG5228 for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168? {grace: or, thanksgiving}
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
GiveG1096 none offenceG677, neitherG2532 to the JewsG2453, norG2532 to the GentilesG1672, norG2532 to the churchG1577 of GodG2316: {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
Even asG2531 IG2504 pleaseG700 allG3956 men in allG3956 things, notG3361 seekingG2212 mine ownG1683 profitG4851, butG235 the profitG3588 of manyG4183, thatG2443 they may be savedG4982.
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
