King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284.
And JacobH3290 their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, Me have ye bereavedH7921 of my children: JosephH3130 is not, and SimeonH8095 is not, and ye will takeH3947 BenjaminH1144 away: all these things are against me.
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.
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
I am becomeG1096 a foolG878 in gloryingG2744; yeG5210 have compelledG315 meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 to have been commendedG4921 ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302 the very chiefestG3029 apostlesG652+G5228, thoughG1499 I beG1510 nothingG3762.
TrulyG3303 the signsG4592 of an apostleG652 were wroughtG2716 amongG1722 youG5213 inG1722 allG3956 patienceG5281, inG1722 signsG4592, andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 mighty deedsG1411.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is itG2076 whereinG3739 ye were inferiorG2274 toG5228 otherG3062 churchesG1577, exceptG1508 it be thatG3754 IG1473 myselfG846 wasG2655 notG3756 burdensomeG2655 to youG5216? forgiveG5483 meG3427 thisG5026 wrongG93.
BeholdG2400, the third timeG5154 I amG2192 readyG2093 to comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209; andG2532 I willG2655 notG3756 be burdensomeG2655 to youG5216: forG1063 I seekG2212 notG3756 yoursG5216, butG235 youG5209: forG1063 the childrenG5043 oughtG3784 notG3756 to lay upG2343 for the parentsG1118, butG235 the parentsG1118 for the childrenG5043.
AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159 andG2532 be spentG1550 forG5228 youG5590+G5216; thoughG1499 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG25 youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG25. {for you: Gr. for your souls}
ButG1161 be it soG2077, IG1473 didG2599 notG3756 burdenG2599 youG5209: neverthelessG235, beingG5225 craftyG3835, I caughtG2983 youG5209 with guileG1388.
Did I make a gainG4122+G3361 of youG5209 byG1223 anyG5100 of themG846 whomG3739 I sentG649 untoG4314 youG5209?
I desiredG3870 TitusG5103, andG2532 with him I sentG4882 a brotherG80. DidG4122+G3387 TitusG5103 make a gainG4122 of youG5209? walked weG4043 notG3756 in the sameG846 spiritG4151? walked we notG3756 in the sameG846 stepsG2487?
AgainG3825, think yeG1380 thatG3754 we excuse ourselvesG626 unto youG5213? we speakG2980 beforeG2714 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547: butG1161 we do all thingsG3956, dearly belovedG27, forG5228 yourG5216 edifyingG3619.
ForG1063 I fearG5399, lestG3381+G4458, when I comeG2064, I shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 youG5209 such asG3634 I wouldG2309, and that IG2504 shall be foundG2147 unto youG5213 such asG3634 ye wouldG2309 notG3756: lestG3381+G4458 there be debatesG2054, envyingsG2205, wrathsG2372, strifesG2052, backbitingsG2636, whisperingsG5587, swellingsG5450, tumultsG181:
And lestG3361, when I comeG2064 againG3825, myG3450 GodG2316 will humbleG5013 meG3165 amongG4314 youG5209, andG2532 that I shall bewailG3996 manyG4183 whichG3588 have sinned alreadyG4258, andG2532 haveG3340 notG3361 repentedG3340 ofG1909 the uncleannessG167 andG2532 fornicationG4202 andG2532 lasciviousnessG766 whichG3739 they have committedG4238.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG2424 had made an endG5055 of commandingG1299 hisG846 twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, he departedG3327 thenceG1564 to teachG1321 andG2532 to preachG2784 inG1722 theirG846 citiesG4172.
NowG1161 when JohnG2491 had heardG191 inG1722 the prisonG1201 the worksG2041 of ChristG5547, he sentG3992 twoG1417 of hisG846 disciplesG3101,
And saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 he that should comeG2064, orG2228 do we lookG4328 for anotherG2087?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, GoG4198 and shewG518 JohnG2491 againG518 those things whichG3739 ye do hearG191 andG2532 seeG991:
The blindG5185 receive their sightG308, andG2532 the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, andG2532 the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raised upG1453, andG2532 the poorG4434 have the gospel preached to themG2097.
AndG2532 blessedG3107 isG2076 he, whosoeverG3739 shallG4624 notG3362 be offendedG4624 inG1722 meG1698.
AndG1161 asG5130 they departedG4198, JesusG2424 beganG756 to sayG3004 unto the multitudesG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went yeG1831 out intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 withG5259 the windG417?
ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG1492? A manG444 clothedG294 inG1722 softG3120 raimentG2440? beholdG2400, they that wearG5409 softG3120 clothing areG1526 inG1722 kings'G935 housesG3624.
ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG1492? A prophetG4396? yeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, andG2532 moreG4055 than a prophetG4396.
ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 them that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there hathG1453 notG3756 risenG1453 a greater thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: notwithstandingG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
AndG1161 fromG575 the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 suffereth violenceG971, andG2532 the violentG973 takeG726 itG846 by forceG726. {suffereth…: or, is gotten by force, and they that thrust men}
ForG1063 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 the lawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye willG2309 receiveG1209 it, thisG846 isG2076 EliasG2243, whichG3588 was forG3195 to comeG2064.
He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
ButG1161 whereuntoG5101 shall I likenG3666 thisG5026 generationG1074? It isG2076 likeG3664 unto childrenG3808 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 callingG4377 unto theirG846 fellowsG2083,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, We have pipedG832 unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738; we have mournedG2354 unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG2875 notG3756 lamentedG2875.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140.
The SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, BeholdG2400 a manG444 gluttonousG5314, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268. ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344 ofG575 herG846 childrenG5043.
ThenG5119 began heG756 to upbraidG3679 the citiesG4172 whereinG1722+G3739 mostG4118 of hisG846 mighty worksG1411 were doneG1096, becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 notG3756:
WoeG3759 unto theeG4671, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto theeG4671, BethsaidaG966! forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 were doneG1096 inG1722 youG5213, had been doneG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG302+G3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700.
ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, It shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 atG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for youG5213.
AndG2532 thouG4771, CapernaumG2584, whichG3588 art exaltedG5312 untoG2193 heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2601 toG2193 hellG86: forG3754 ifG1487 the mighty worksG1411, whichG3588 have been doneG1096 inG1722 theeG4671, had been doneG1096 inG1722 SodomG4670, it would have remainedG302+G3306 untilG3360 this dayG4594.
ButG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 it shall beG2071 more tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for theeG4671.
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
Even soG3483, FatherG3962: forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096 goodG2107 in thyG4675 sightG1715.
All thingsG3956 are deliveredG3860 unto meG3427 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962: andG2532 no manG3762 knowethG1921 the SonG5207, butG1508 the FatherG3962; neitherG3761 knowethG1921 any manG5100 the FatherG3962, saveG1508 the SonG5207, and heG2532 toG3739 whomsoeverG1437 the SonG5207 willG1014 revealG601 him.
ComeG1205 untoG4314 meG3165, allG3956 ye that labourG2872 andG2532 are heavy ladenG5412, and IG2504 will giveG373 youG5209 restG373.
TakeG142 myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
ForG1063 myG3450 yokeG2218 is easyG5543, andG2532 myG3450 burdenG5413 isG2076 lightG1645.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto PeterG4074, Put upG906 thyG4675 swordG3162 intoG1519 the sheathG2336: the cupG4221 whichG3739 my FatherG3962 hath givenG1325 meG3427, shall IG4095 notG3378 drinkG4095 itG846?
