AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
WhereforeG1223+G3739+G156 I putG363 theeG4571 in remembranceG363 that thou stir upG329 the giftG5486 of GodG2316, whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 theeG4671 byG1223 the putting onG1936 of myG3450 handsG5495.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG1325 notG3756 givenG1325 usG2254 the spiritG4151 of fearG1167; butG235 of powerG1411, andG2532 of loveG26, andG2532 of a sound mindG4995.
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.
NowG1161 concerningG4012 spiritualG4152 gifts, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 ignorantG50.
Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG2258 GentilesG1484, carried awayG520 untoG4314 these dumbG880 idolsG1497, even asG5613+G302 ye were ledG71.
WhereforeG1352 I giveG1107 youG5213 to understandG1107, thatG3754 no manG3762 speakingG2980 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 callethG3004 JesusG2424 accursedG331: andG2532 that no manG3762 canG1410 sayG2036 that JesusG2424 is the LordG2962, butG1508 byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {accursed: or, anathema}
NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
ForG1063 the bodyG4983 isG2076 notG3756 oneG1520 memberG3196, butG235 manyG4183.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
AndG2532 ifG1437 the earG3775 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the eyeG3788, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they wereG2258 allG3956 oneG1520 memberG3196, whereG4226 were the bodyG4983?
ButG1161 nowG3568+G3303 are they manyG4183 membersG3196, yet butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.
AndG1161 the eyeG3788 cannotG3756+G1410 sayG2036 unto the handG5495, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of theeG4675: norG2228 againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of youG5216.
NayG235, muchG4183 moreG3123 those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983, which seemG1380 to beG5225 more feebleG772, areG2076 necessaryG316:
AndG2532 thoseG3739 members of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1511 less honourableG820, upon theseG5125 we bestowG4060 more abundantG4055 honourG5092; andG2532 ourG2257 uncomelyG809 parts haveG2192 more abundantG4055 comelinessG2157. {bestow: or, put on}
ForG1161 ourG2257 comelyG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532: butG235 GodG2316 hath temperedG4786 the bodyG4983 togetherG4786, having givenG1325 more abundantG4055 honourG5092 to that part which lackedG5302:
ThatG3363 there should beG5600 noG3363 schismG4978 inG1722 the bodyG4983; butG235 that the membersG3196 should haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 one forG5228 anotherG240. {schism: or, division}
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
NowG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, andG2532 membersG3196 inG1537 particularG3313.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Are allG3361+G3956 apostlesG652? are allG3361+G3956 prophetsG4396? are allG3361+G3956 teachersG1320? are allG3361+G3956 workers of miraclesG1411? {workers…: or, powers?}
HaveG3361+G2192 allG3956 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386? do allG3956 speakG3361+G2980 with tonguesG1100? doG3361 allG3956 interpretG1329?
ButG1161 covet earnestlyG2206 the bestG2909 giftsG5486: andG2532 yetG2089 shew IG1166 unto youG5213 a moreG2596 excellentG5236 wayG3598.
FollowG1377 after charityG26, andG1161 desireG2206 spiritualG4152 gifts, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye may prophesyG4395.
ForG1063 he that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 speakethG2980 notG3756 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 understandethG191 him; howbeitG1161 in the spiritG4151 he speakethG2980 mysteriesG3466. {understandeth: Gr. heareth}
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
He that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 edifiethG3618 himselfG1438; butG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 edifiethG3618 the churchG1577.
I wouldG2309 that yeG5209 allG3956 spakeG2980 with tonguesG1100, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye prophesiedG4395: forG1063 greaterG3187 is he that prophesiethG4395 thanG2228 he that speakethG2980 with tonguesG1100, exceptG1622+G1508 he interpretG1329, thatG2443 the churchG1577 may receiveG2983 edifyingG3619.
NowG3570, brethrenG80, ifG1437 I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 speakingG2980 with tonguesG1100, whatG5101 shall I profitG5623 youG5209, exceptG3362 I shall speakG2980 to youG5213 eitherG2228 byG1722 revelationG602, orG2228 byG1722 knowledgeG1108, orG2228 byG1722 prophesyingG4394, orG2228 byG1722 doctrineG1322?
And evenG3676 things without lifeG895 givingG1325 soundG5456, whetherG1535 pipeG836 orG1535 harpG2788, exceptG3362 they giveG1325 a distinctionG1293 in the soundsG5353, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 what is pipedG832 orG2228 harpedG2789? {sounds: or, tunes}
ForG1063+G2532 ifG1437 the trumpetG4536 giveG1325 an uncertainG82 soundG5456, whoG5101 shall prepare himselfG3903 toG1519 the battleG4171?
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, exceptG3362 ye utterG1325 byG1223 the tongueG1100 wordsG3056 easy to be understoodG2154, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 what is spokenG2980? forG1063 ye shallG2071 speakG2980 intoG1519 the airG109. {easy…: Gr. significant}
There areG2076, it may beG5177, so manyG5118 kindsG1085 of voicesG5456 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 none of themG3762 is without significationG880+G846.
ThereforeG3767 ifG3362 I knowG1492 notG3362 the meaningG1411 of the voiceG5456, I shall beG2071 unto him that speakethG2980 a barbarianG915, andG2532 he that speakethG2980 shall be a barbarianG915 untoG1722 meG1698.
EvenG2532 soG3779 yeG5210, forasmuch asG1893 ye areG2075 zealousG2207 of spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 thatG2443 ye may excelG4052 toG4314 the edifyingG3619 of the churchG1577. {of spiritual gifts: Gr. of spirits}
WhereforeG1355 let him that speakethG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100 prayG4336 thatG2443 he may interpretG1329.
ForG1063 ifG1437 I prayG4336 in an unknown tongueG1100, myG3450 spiritG4151 prayethG4336, butG1161 myG3450 understandingG3563 isG2076 unfruitfulG175.
WhatG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG4151, andG1161 I will prayG4336 with the understandingG3563 alsoG2532: I will singG5567 with the spiritG4151, andG1161 I will singG5567 with the understandingG3563 alsoG2532.
ElseG1893 whenG1437 thou shalt blessG2127 with the spiritG4151, howG4459 shall he that occupiethG378 the roomG5117 of the unlearnedG2399 sayG2046 AmenG281 atG1909 thyG4674 giving of thanksG2169, seeingG1894 he understandethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 thou sayestG3004?
ForG1063 thouG4771 verilyG3303 givest thanksG2168 wellG2573, butG235 the otherG2087 isG3618 notG3756 edifiedG3618.
I thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316, I speakG2980 with tonguesG1100 more thanG3123 yeG5216 allG3956:
YetG235 inG1722 the churchG1577 I had ratherG2309 speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 withG1223 myG3450 understandingG3563, thatG2443 by my voice I might teachG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, thanG2228 ten thousandG3463 wordsG3056 inG1722 an unknown tongueG1100.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG5424 beG1096 menG5046. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
InG1722 the lawG3551 it is writtenG1125+G3754, WithG1722 men of other tonguesG2084 andG2532 otherG1722+G2087 lipsG5491 will I speakG2980 unto thisG5129 peopleG2992; andG2532 yet for allG3779 that will theyG1522 notG3761 hearG1522 meG3450, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 tonguesG1100 areG1526 forG1519 a signG4592, notG3756 to them that believeG4100, butG235 to them that believe notG571: butG1161 prophesyingG4394 serveth notG3756 for them that believe notG571, butG235 for them which believeG4100.
IfG1437 thereforeG3767 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 be come togetherG4905 intoG1909 one placeG846, andG2532 allG3956 speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, andG1161 there come inG1525 those that are unlearnedG2399, orG2228 unbelieversG571, will theyG2046 notG3756 sayG2046 thatG3754 ye are madG3105?
ButG1161 ifG1437 allG3956 prophesyG4395, andG1161 there come inG1525 oneG5100 that believeth notG571, orG2228 one unlearnedG2399, he is convincedG1651 ofG5259 allG3956, he is judgedG350 ofG5259 allG3956:
AndG2532 thusG3779 areG1096 the secretsG2927 of hisG846 heartG2588 madeG1096 manifestG5318; andG2532 soG3779 falling downG4098 onG1909 his faceG4383 he will worshipG4352 GodG2316, and reportG518 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 inG1722 youG5213 of a truthG3689.
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
IfG1535 any manG5100 speakG2980 in an unknown tongueG1100, let it be byG2596 twoG1417, orG2228 at the mostG4118 by threeG5140, andG2532 that byG303 courseG3313; andG2532 letG1329 oneG1520 interpretG1329. {two…: by two or three sentences separately}
ButG1161 ifG3362 there beG5600 noG3362 interpreterG1328, let him keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchG1577; andG1161 let him speakG2980 to himselfG1438, andG2532 to GodG2316.
LetG2980 the prophetsG4396 speakG2980 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140, andG2532 letG1252 the otherG243 judgeG1252.
IfG1161+G1437 any thing be revealedG601 to anotherG243 that sitteth byG2521, letG4601 the firstG4413 hold his peaceG4601.
ForG1063 ye mayG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 one by oneG2596+G1520, thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129, andG2532 allG3956 may be comfortedG3870.
AndG2532 the spiritsG4151 of the prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to the prophetsG4396.
ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 notG3756 the author of confusionG181, butG235 of peaceG1515, asG5613 inG1722 allG3956 churchesG1577 of the saintsG40. {confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}
LetG4601 yourG5216 womenG1135 keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the churchesG1577: forG1063 it isG2010 notG3756 permittedG2010 unto themG846 to speakG2980; butG235 they are commanded to be under obedienceG5293, asG2531 alsoG2532 saithG3004 the lawG3551.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they willG2309 learnG3129 any thingG5100, let them askG1905 theirG2398 husbandsG435 atG1722 homeG3624: forG1063 it isG2076 a shameG149 for womenG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 the churchG1577.
WhatG2228? cameG1831 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 outG1831 fromG575 youG5216? orG2228 came itG2658 untoG1519 youG5209 onlyG3441?
If any manG1536 think himselfG1380 to beG1511 a prophetG4396, orG2228 spiritualG4152, let him acknowledgeG1921 thatG3754 the thingsG3739 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213 areG1526 the commandmentsG1785 of the LordG2962.
ButG1161 if any manG1536 be ignorantG50, let him be ignorantG50.
WhereforeG5620, brethrenG80, covetG2206 to prophesyG4395, andG2532 forbidG2967 notG3361 to speakG2980 with tonguesG1100.
LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 decentlyG2156 andG2532 inG2596 orderG5010.
WhereforeG5620 tonguesG1100 areG1526 forG1519 a signG4592, notG3756 to them that believeG4100, butG235 to them that believe notG571: butG1161 prophesyingG4394 serveth notG3756 for them that believe notG571, butG235 for them which believeG4100.
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.
NowG1161 concerningG4012 spiritualG4152 gifts, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 ignorantG50.
Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG2258 GentilesG1484, carried awayG520 untoG4314 these dumbG880 idolsG1497, even asG5613+G302 ye were ledG71.
WhereforeG1352 I giveG1107 youG5213 to understandG1107, thatG3754 no manG3762 speakingG2980 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 callethG3004 JesusG2424 accursedG331: andG2532 that no manG3762 canG1410 sayG2036 that JesusG2424 is the LordG2962, butG1508 byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {accursed: or, anathema}
NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
ForG1063 the bodyG4983 isG2076 notG3756 oneG1520 memberG3196, butG235 manyG4183.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
AndG2532 ifG1437 the earG3775 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the eyeG3788, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they wereG2258 allG3956 oneG1520 memberG3196, whereG4226 were the bodyG4983?
ButG1161 nowG3568+G3303 are they manyG4183 membersG3196, yet butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.
AndG1161 the eyeG3788 cannotG3756+G1410 sayG2036 unto the handG5495, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of theeG4675: norG2228 againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of youG5216.
NayG235, muchG4183 moreG3123 those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983, which seemG1380 to beG5225 more feebleG772, areG2076 necessaryG316:
AndG2532 thoseG3739 members of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1511 less honourableG820, upon theseG5125 we bestowG4060 more abundantG4055 honourG5092; andG2532 ourG2257 uncomelyG809 parts haveG2192 more abundantG4055 comelinessG2157. {bestow: or, put on}
ForG1161 ourG2257 comelyG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532: butG235 GodG2316 hath temperedG4786 the bodyG4983 togetherG4786, having givenG1325 more abundantG4055 honourG5092 to that part which lackedG5302:
ThatG3363 there should beG5600 noG3363 schismG4978 inG1722 the bodyG4983; butG235 that the membersG3196 should haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 one forG5228 anotherG240. {schism: or, division}
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
NowG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, andG2532 membersG3196 inG1537 particularG3313.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Are allG3361+G3956 apostlesG652? are allG3361+G3956 prophetsG4396? are allG3361+G3956 teachersG1320? are allG3361+G3956 workers of miraclesG1411? {workers…: or, powers?}
HaveG3361+G2192 allG3956 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386? do allG3956 speakG3361+G2980 with tonguesG1100? doG3361 allG3956 interpretG1329?
ButG1161 covet earnestlyG2206 the bestG2909 giftsG5486: andG2532 yetG2089 shew IG1166 unto youG5213 a moreG2596 excellentG5236 wayG3598.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
WhomG3739 the heavenG3772+G3303 mustG1163 receiveG1209 untilG891 the timesG5550 of restitutionG605 of all thingsG3956, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath spokenG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of allG3956 hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396 sinceG575 the world beganG165.
That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
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.
WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272 to putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279 ofG4012 these thingsG5130, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492 them, andG2532 be establishedG4741 inG1722 the presentG3918 truthG225.
YeaG1161, I think itG2233 meetG1342, as long asG1909+G3745 I amG1510 inG1722 thisG5129 tabernacleG4638, to stirG1326 youG5209 upG1326 byG1722 putting you in remembranceG5280;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I mustG2076 put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacleG4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213 meG3427.
MoreoverG1161+G2532 I will endeavourG4704 that yeG5209 may be ableG2192 afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG4160 these thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
ButG1161, belovedG27, rememberG3415 yeG5210 the wordsG4487 whichG3588 were spoken beforeG4280 ofG5259 the apostlesG652 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547;
HowG3754 thatG3754 they toldG3004 youG5213 there should beG2071 mockersG1703 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG5550, who should walkG4198 afterG2596 their ownG1438 ungodlyG763 lustsG1939.
The RevelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3739 GodG2316 gaveG1325 unto himG846, to shewG1166 unto hisG846 servantsG1401 things whichG3739 mustG1163 shortlyG1722+G5034 come to passG1096; andG2532 he sentG649 and signifiedG4591 it byG1223 hisG846 angelG32 unto hisG846 servantG1401 JohnG2491:
WhoG3739 bare recordG3140 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 of the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG5037 of all thingsG3745 that he sawG1492.
BlessedG3107 is he that readethG314, andG2532 they that hearG191 the wordsG3056 of this prophecyG4394, andG2532 keepG5083 those things which are writtenG1125 thereinG1722+G846: forG1063 the timeG2540 is at handG1451.
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}
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Are allG3361+G3956 apostlesG652? are allG3361+G3956 prophetsG4396? are allG3361+G3956 teachersG1320? are allG3361+G3956 workers of miraclesG1411? {workers…: or, powers?}
HaveG3361+G2192 allG3956 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386? do allG3956 speakG3361+G2980 with tonguesG1100? doG3361 allG3956 interpretG1329?
This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
MyG3450 brethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 mastersG1320, knowingG1492 thatG3754 we shall receiveG2983 the greaterG3187 condemnationG2917. {condemnation: or, judgment}
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
EveryG3956 goodG18 giftG1394 andG2532 everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 isG2076 from aboveG509, and cometh downG2597 fromG575 the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, withG3844 whomG3739 isG1762 noG3756 variablenessG3883, neitherG2228 shadowG644 of turningG5157.
ForG1063 ye areG2075 yetG2089 carnalG4559: forG1063 whereasG3699 there is amongG1722 youG5213 envyingG2205, andG2532 strifeG2054, andG2532 divisionsG1370, are yeG2075 notG3780 carnalG4559, andG2532 walkG4043 asG2596 menG444? {divisions: or, factions} {as men: Gr. according to man?}
ForG1063 whileG3752 oneG5100 saithG3004, IG1473+G3303 amG1510 of PaulG3972; andG1161 anotherG2087, IG1473 am of ApollosG625; areG2075 ye notG3780 carnalG4559?
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
Who wasG5607 faithfulG4103 to him that appointedG4160 himG846, asG5613 alsoG2532 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624. {appointed: Gr. made}
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.
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
