On that dayH3117 did the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 giveH5414 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001 the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436. And MordecaiH4782 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428; for EstherH635 had toldH5046 what he was unto her.
And the kingH4428 took offH5493 his ringH2885, which he had takenH5674 from HamanH2001, and gaveH5414 it unto MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 setH7760 MordecaiH4782 over the houseH1004 of HamanH2001.
And EstherH635 spakeH1696 yet againH3254 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and fell downH5307 atH6440 his feetH7272, and besoughtH2603 him with tearsH1058 to put awayH5674 the mischiefH7451 of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his deviceH4284 that he had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064. {and besought…: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}
Then the kingH4428 held outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275 toward EstherH635. So EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428,
And saidH559, If it pleaseH2896 the kingH4428, and if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in his sightH6440, and the thingH1697 seem rightH3787 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and I be pleasingH2896 in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverseH7725 the lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, which he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 which are in all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082: {devised: Heb. the device} {which he…: or, who wrote}
For howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH13 of my kindredH4138? {endure…: Heb. be able that I may see}
Then the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he laidH7971 his handH3027 upon the JewsH3064.
WriteH3789 ye also for the JewsH3064, as it likethH2896 youH5869, in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885: for the writingH3791 which is writtenH3789 in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, may no man reverseH7725.
Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 SivanH5510, on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 day thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680 unto the JewsH3064, and to the lieutenantsH323, and the deputiesH6346 and rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 unto EthiopiaH3568, an hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082, unto every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and unto every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, and to the JewsH3064 according to their writingH3791, and according to their languageH3956.
And he wroteH3789 in the kingH4428 Ahasuerus'H325 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 byH3027 postsH7323 on horsebackH5483, and ridersH7392 on mulesH7409, camelsH327, and youngH1121 dromedariesH7424:
Wherein the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 which were in every cityH5892 to gather themselves togetherH6950, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all the powerH2428 of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assaultH6696 them, both little onesH2945 and womenH802, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,
Upon oneH259 dayH3117 in all the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenthH7969+H6240 day of the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143.
The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be readyH6264+H6259 against that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341. {published: Heb. revealed}
So the postsH7323 that rodeH7392 upon mulesH7409 and camelsH327 went outH3318, being hastenedH926 and pressed onH1765 by the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697. And the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002.
And MordecaiH4782 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 in royalH4438 apparelH3830 of blueH8504 and whiteH2353, and with a greatH1419 crownH5850 of goldH2091, and with a garmentH8509 of fine linenH948 and purpleH713: and the cityH5892 of ShushanH7800 rejoicedH6670 and was gladH8056. {blue: or, violet}
The JewsH3064 had lightH219, and gladnessH8057, and joyH8342, and honourH3366.
And in every provinceH4082, and in every cityH5892, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060, the JewsH3064 had joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, a feastH4960 and a goodH2896 dayH3117. And manyH7227 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 became JewsH3054; for the fearH6343 of the JewsH3064 fellH5307 upon them.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, Ye shallG1492 notG3364 seeG1492 meG3165 henceforthG575+G737, tillG2193+G302 ye shall sayG2036, BlessedG2127 is he that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 they shall fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, andG2532 shall be led away captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 JerusalemG2419 shall beG2071 trodden downG3961 ofG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 be fulfilledG4137.
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which before was preachedG4296 unto youG5213:
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.
WhenG3303 they thereforeG3767 were come togetherG4905, they askedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962+G1487, wilt thouG600 atG1722 thisG5129 timeG5550 restore againG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
DareG5111 anyG5100 of youG5216, havingG2192 a matterG4229 againstG4314 anotherG2087, go to lawG2919 beforeG1909 the unjustG94, andG2532 notG3780 beforeG1909 the saintsG40?
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 the saintsG40 shall judgeG2919 the worldG2889? andG2532 ifG1487 the worldG2889 shall be judgedG2919 byG1722 youG5213, are yeG2075 unworthyG370 to judgeG2922 the smallest mattersG1646?
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 we shall judgeG2919 angelsG32? how much moreG3386+G1065 things that pertain to this lifeG982?
IfG1437 thenG3303+G3767 ye haveG2192 judgmentsG2922 of things pertaining to this lifeG982, setG2523 themG5128 to judge who are least esteemedG1848 inG1722 the churchG1577.
I speakG3004 toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791. Is it soG3779, that thereG2076 is notG3756 a wise manG4680 amongG1722 youG5213? no, notG3761 oneG1520 thatG3739 shall be ableG1410 to judgeG1252 betweenG303+G3319 hisG846 brethrenG80?
ButG235 brotherG80 goeth to lawG2919 withG3326 brotherG80, andG2532 thatG5124 beforeG1909 the unbelieversG571.
NowG2235 thereforeG3303+G3767 there isG2076 utterlyG3654 a faultG2275 amongG1722 youG5213, becauseG3754 ye goG2192 to lawG2917 one withG3326 anotherG1438. WhyG1302 do yeG91 notG3780 ratherG3123 take wrongG91? whyG1302 do yeG650 notG3780 ratherG3123 suffer yourselves to be defraudedG650?
NayG235, yeG5210 do wrongG91, andG2532 defraudG650, andG2532 thatG5023 your brethrenG80.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
NorG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 covetousG4123, norG3777 drunkardsG3183, norG3756 revilersG3060, norG3756 extortionersG727, shall inheritG3756+G2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 unto meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 IG1473 willG1850 notG3756 be brought under the powerG1850 ofG5259 anyG5100. {expedient: or, profitable}
MeatsG1033 for the bellyG2836, andG2532 the bellyG2836 for meatsG1033: butG1161 GodG2316 shall destroyG2673 bothG2532 itG5026 andG2532 themG5023. NowG1161 the bodyG4983 is notG3756 for fornicationG4202, butG235 for the LordG2962; andG2532 the LordG2962 for the bodyG4983. {Meats: not flesh only, but food of any kind}
AndG1161 GodG2316 hathG1453 bothG2532 raised upG1453 the LordG2962, andG2532 willG1825 alsoG2532 raise upG1825 usG2248 byG1223 his ownG846 powerG1411.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 areG2076 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547? shall IG142 thenG3767 takeG142 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547, and makeG4160 them the membersG3196 of an harlotG4204? God forbidG3361+G1096.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 he which is joinedG2853 to an harlotG4204 isG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983? forG1063 twoG1417, saith heG5346, shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ButG1161 he that is joinedG2853 unto the LordG2962 isG2076 oneG1520 spiritG4151.
FleeG5343 fornicationG4202. EveryG3956 sinG265 thatG3739+G1437 a manG444 doethG4160 isG2076 withoutG1622 the bodyG4983; butG1161 he that committeth fornicationG4203 sinnethG264 againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodyG4983 isG2076 the templeG3485 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 which is inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 ye haveG2192 ofG575 GodG2316, andG2532 ye areG2075 notG3756 your ownG1438?
ForG1063 ye are boughtG59 with a priceG5092: thereforeG1211 glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 bodyG4983, andG2532 inG1722 yourG5216 spiritG4151, whichG3748 areG2076 God'sG2316.
SoG1161 whenG3752 thisG5124 corruptibleG5349 shall have put onG1746 incorruptionG861, andG2532 thisG5124 mortalG2349 shall have put onG1746 immortalityG110, thenG5119 shall be brought to passG1096 the sayingG3056 that is writtenG1125, DeathG2288 is swallowed upG2666 inG1519 victoryG3534.
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:
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
NowG1161 I sayG3004, That the heirG2818, as long asG1909+G3745+G5550 he isG2076 a childG3516, differethG1308 nothingG3762 from a servantG1401, though he beG5607 lordG2962 of allG3956;
ButG235 isG2076 underG5259 tutorsG2012 andG2532 governorsG3623 untilG891 the time appointedG4287 of the fatherG3962.
EvenG2532 soG3779 weG2249, whenG3753 we wereG2258 childrenG3516, wereG2258 in bondageG1402 underG5259 the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889: {elements: or, rudiments}
ButG1161 whenG3753 the fulnessG4138 of the timeG5550 was comeG2064, GodG2316 sent forthG1821 hisG846 SonG5207, madeG1096 ofG1537 a womanG1135, madeG1096 underG5259 the lawG3551,
ToG2443 redeemG1805 them that were underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 we might receiveG618 the adoption of sonsG5206.
AndG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG2075 sonsG5207, GodG2316 hath sent forthG1821 the SpiritG4151 of hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, cryingG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620 thou artG1488 no moreG3765 a servantG1401, butG235 a sonG5207; andG1161 ifG1487 a sonG5207, thenG2532 an heirG2818 of GodG2316 throughG1223 ChristG5547.
HowbeitG235 thenG5119+G3303, when ye knewG1492 notG3756 GodG2316, ye did serviceG1398 unto them which by natureG5449 areG5607 noG3361 godsG2316.
ButG1161 nowG3568, after that ye have knownG1097 GodG2316, orG1161 ratherG3123 are knownG1097 ofG5259 GodG2316, howG4459 turn yeG1994 againG3825 toG1909 the weakG772 andG2532 beggarlyG4434 elementsG4747, whereuntoG3739 ye desireG2309 againG3825+G509 to be in bondageG1398? {turn ye again: or, turn ye back} {elements: or, rudiments}
Ye observeG3906 daysG2250, andG2532 monthsG3376, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 yearsG1763.
I am afraidG5399 of youG5209, lestG3381+G4458 I have bestowedG2872 uponG1519 youG5209 labourG2872 in vainG1500.
BrethrenG80, I beseechG1189 youG5216, beG1096 asG5613 IG1473 am; forG3754 IG2504 am asG5613 yeG5210 are: ye have not injuredG91 meG3165 at allG3762.
Ye knowG1492 howG3754 throughG1223 infirmityG769 of the fleshG4561 I preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5213 at the firstG4386.
AndG2532 myG3450 temptationG3986 which was inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 ye despisedG1848 notG3756, norG3761 rejectedG1609; butG235 receivedG1209 meG3165 asG5613 an angelG32 of GodG2316, even asG5613 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
WhereG5101 isG2258 thenG3767 the blessednessG3108 yeG5216 spake of? forG1063 I bearG3140 youG5213 recordG3140, thatG3754, ifG1487 it had been possibleG1415, ye would have plucked outG1846 yourG5216 own eyesG3788, and have given themG302+G1325 to meG3427. {Where…: or, What was then}
Am IG1096 thereforeG5620 becomeG1096 yourG5216 enemyG2190, because I tellG226 youG5213 the truthG226?
They zealously affectG2206 youG5209, but notG3756 wellG2573; yeaG235, they wouldG2309 excludeG1576 youG5209, thatG2443 ye might affectG2206 themG846. {exclude you: or, exclude us}
ButG1161 it is goodG2570 to be zealously affectedG2206 alwaysG3842 inG1722 a goodG2570 thing, andG2532 notG3361 onlyG3440 whenG1722 IG3165 am presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, of whomG3739 I travail in birthG5605 againG3825 untilG891+G3739 ChristG5547 be formedG3445 inG1722 youG5213,
I desireG2309 to be presentG3918 withG4314 youG5209 nowG737, andG2532 to changeG236 myG3450 voiceG5456; forG3754 I stand in doubtG639 ofG1722 youG5213. {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you} {I stand…: or, I am perplexed for you}
TellG3004 meG3427, ye that desireG2309 to beG1511 underG5259 the lawG3551, do yeG191 notG3756 hearG191 the lawG3551?
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, thatG3754 AbrahamG11 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207, the oneG1520 byG1537 a bondmaidG3814+G2532, the otherG1520 byG1537 a freewomanG1658.
ButG235 heG3303 who was ofG1537 the bondwomanG3814 was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561; butG1161 he ofG1537 the freewomanG1658 was byG1223 promiseG1860.
Which thingsG3748 areG2076 an allegoryG238: forG1063 theseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 covenantsG1242; the oneG3391+G3303 fromG575 the mountG3735 SinaiG4614, which genderethG1080 toG1519 bondageG1397, whichG3748 isG2076 AgarG28. {covenants: or, testaments} {Sinai: Gr. Sina}
ForG1063 this AgarG28 isG2076 mountG3735 SinaiG4614 inG1722 ArabiaG688, andG1161 answerethG4960 to JerusalemG2419 whichG3588 now isG3568, andG1161 is in bondageG1398 withG3326 herG846 childrenG5043. {answereth to: or, is in the same rank with}
ButG1161 JerusalemG2419 which is aboveG507 isG2076 freeG1658, whichG3748 isG2076 the motherG3384 of usG2257 allG3956.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, RejoiceG2165, thou barrenG4723 that bearestG5088 notG3756; break forthG4486 andG2532 cryG994, thou that travailestG5605 notG3756: forG3754 the desolateG2048 hath many moreG4183 childrenG5043 thanG3123+G2228 she which hathG2192 an husbandG435.
NowG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, asG2596 IsaacG2464 wasG2596, areG2070 the childrenG5043 of promiseG1860.
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
NeverthelessG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124? Cast outG1544 the bondwomanG3814 andG2532 herG846 sonG5207: forG1063 the sonG5207 of the bondwomanG3814 shallG2816 notG3364 be heirG2816 withG3326 the sonG5207 of the freewomanG1658.
So thenG686, brethrenG80, we areG2070 notG3756 childrenG5043 of the bondwomanG3814, butG235 of the freeG1658.
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 the seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537; andG2532 there wereG1096 greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, The kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096 the kingdoms of ourG2257 LordG2962, andG2532 of hisG846 ChristG5547; andG2532 he shall reignG936 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
Let usG5399 thereforeG3767 fearG5399, lestG3379, a promiseG1860 being leftG2641 us of enteringG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 should seemG1380 to come short of itG5302.
ForG2532+G1063 unto us wasG2070 the gospel preachedG2097, as well asG2509 unto themG2548: butG235 the wordG3056 preachedG189 didG5623 notG3756 profitG5623 themG1565, notG3361 being mixedG4786 with faithG4102 in them that heardG191 it. {the word…: Gr. the word of hearing} {not being…: or, because they were not united by faith to}
ForG1063 we whichG3588 have believedG4100 do enterG1525 intoG1519 restG2663, asG2531 he saidG2046, AsG5613 I have swornG3660 inG1722 myG3450 wrathG3709, ifG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663: althoughG2543 the worksG2041 were finishedG1096 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
ForG1063 he spakeG2046 in a certain placeG4225 ofG4012 the seventhG1442 day on this wiseG3779, AndG2532 GodG2316 did restG2664 the seventhG1722+G1442 dayG2250 fromG575 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 inG1722 thisG5129 place againG3825, IfG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663.
SeeingG1893 thereforeG3767 it remainethG620 that someG5100 must enterG1525 thereinG1519+G846, andG2532 they to whom it was firstG4386 preachedG2097 enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 becauseG1223 of unbeliefG543: {it was: or, the gospel was}
AgainG3825, he limitethG3724 a certainG5100 dayG2250, sayingG3004 inG1722 DavidG1138, To dayG4594, afterG3326 so longG5118 a timeG5550; asG2531 it is saidG2046, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 ifG1487 JesusG2424 had givenG2664 themG846 restG2664, then would heG302 notG3756 afterwardG3326+G5023 have spokenG2980 ofG4012 anotherG243 dayG2250. {Jesus: that is, Joshua}
There remainethG620 thereforeG686 a restG4520 to the peopleG2992 of GodG2316. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}
ForG1063 he that is enteredG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, heG846 alsoG2532 hath ceasedG2664 fromG575 his ownG846 worksG2041, asG5618 GodG2316 did fromG575 hisG2398.
Let us labourG4704 thereforeG3767 to enterG1525 intoG1519 thatG1565 restG2663, lestG3363 any manG5100 fallG4098 afterG1722 the sameG846 exampleG5262 of unbeliefG543. {unbelief: or, disobedience}
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 any creatureG2937 that is not manifestG852 in hisG846 sightG1799: butG1161 all thingsG3956 are nakedG1131 andG2532 openedG5136 unto the eyesG3788 of himG846 withG4314 whomG3739 we haveG2254 to doG3056.
SeeingG2192 thenG3767 that we haveG2192 a greatG3173 high priestG749, that is passed intoG1330 the heavensG3772, JesusG2424 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, let us hold fastG2902 our professionG3671.
ForG1063 we haveG2192 notG3756 an high priestG749 which cannotG3361+G1410 be touched with the feelingG4834 of ourG2257 infirmitiesG769; butG1161 wasG3985 inG2596 all pointsG3956 temptedG3985+G3987 likeG2596 asG3665 we are, yet withoutG5565 sinG266.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
On that dayH3117 did the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 giveH5414 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001 the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436. And MordecaiH4782 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428; for EstherH635 had toldH5046 what he was unto her.
And the kingH4428 took offH5493 his ringH2885, which he had takenH5674 from HamanH2001, and gaveH5414 it unto MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 setH7760 MordecaiH4782 over the houseH1004 of HamanH2001.
And EstherH635 spakeH1696 yet againH3254 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and fell downH5307 atH6440 his feetH7272, and besoughtH2603 him with tearsH1058 to put awayH5674 the mischiefH7451 of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his deviceH4284 that he had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064. {and besought…: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}
Then the kingH4428 held outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275 toward EstherH635. So EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428,
And saidH559, If it pleaseH2896 the kingH4428, and if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in his sightH6440, and the thingH1697 seem rightH3787 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and I be pleasingH2896 in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverseH7725 the lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, which he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 which are in all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082: {devised: Heb. the device} {which he…: or, who wrote}
For howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH13 of my kindredH4138? {endure…: Heb. be able that I may see}
Then the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he laidH7971 his handH3027 upon the JewsH3064.
WriteH3789 ye also for the JewsH3064, as it likethH2896 youH5869, in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885: for the writingH3791 which is writtenH3789 in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, may no man reverseH7725.
Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 SivanH5510, on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 day thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680 unto the JewsH3064, and to the lieutenantsH323, and the deputiesH6346 and rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 unto EthiopiaH3568, an hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082, unto every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and unto every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, and to the JewsH3064 according to their writingH3791, and according to their languageH3956.
And he wroteH3789 in the kingH4428 Ahasuerus'H325 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 byH3027 postsH7323 on horsebackH5483, and ridersH7392 on mulesH7409, camelsH327, and youngH1121 dromedariesH7424:
Wherein the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 which were in every cityH5892 to gather themselves togetherH6950, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all the powerH2428 of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assaultH6696 them, both little onesH2945 and womenH802, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,
Upon oneH259 dayH3117 in all the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenthH7969+H6240 day of the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143.
The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be readyH6264+H6259 against that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341. {published: Heb. revealed}
So the postsH7323 that rodeH7392 upon mulesH7409 and camelsH327 went outH3318, being hastenedH926 and pressed onH1765 by the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697. And the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002.
And MordecaiH4782 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 in royalH4438 apparelH3830 of blueH8504 and whiteH2353, and with a greatH1419 crownH5850 of goldH2091, and with a garmentH8509 of fine linenH948 and purpleH713: and the cityH5892 of ShushanH7800 rejoicedH6670 and was gladH8056. {blue: or, violet}
The JewsH3064 had lightH219, and gladnessH8057, and joyH8342, and honourH3366.
And in every provinceH4082, and in every cityH5892, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060, the JewsH3064 had joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, a feastH4960 and a goodH2896 dayH3117. And manyH7227 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 became JewsH3054; for the fearH6343 of the JewsH3064 fellH5307 upon them.
