He wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 the worldG2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 the worldG2889 knewG1097 himG846 notG3756.
He cameG2064 untoG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 his ownG2398 receivedG3880 himG846 notG3756.
Ye have heardG191 howG3754 IG1473 saidG2036 unto youG5213, I go awayG5217, andG2532 comeG2064 again untoG4314 youG5209. IfG1487 ye lovedG25 meG3165+G302, ye would rejoiceG5463, becauseG3754 I saidG2036, I goG4198 untoG4314 the FatherG3962: forG3754 myG3450 FatherG3962 isG2076 greater thanG3187 IG3450.
InG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 houseG3614 areG1526 manyG4183 mansionsG3438: if it were notG1490 so, I would have toldG302+G2036 youG5213. I goG4198 to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213.
AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213, I will comeG2064 againG3825, andG2532 receiveG3880 youG5209 untoG4314 myselfG1683; thatG2443 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, there yeG5210 may beG5600 alsoG2532.
ButG1161 weG2249 trustedG1679 thatG3754 it had beenG2076 heG846 which shouldG3195 have redeemedG3084 IsraelG2474: andG235 besideG1065+G4862 allG3956 thisG5125, to dayG4594 isG71 theG5026 thirdG5154 dayG2250 sinceG575+G3739 these thingsG5023 were doneG1096.
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 saidG2036, Ye menG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 stand yeG2476 gazing upG1689 intoG1519 heavenG3772? this sameG3778 JesusG2424, whichG3588 is taken upG353 fromG575 youG5216 intoG1519 heavenG3772, shallG2064 soG3779 comeG2064 in like manner asG3739+G5158 ye have seenG2300 himG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
SayingG3004, GiveG1325 me alsoG2504 thisG5026 powerG1849, thatG2443 onG2007 whomsoeverG3739+G1437 I layG2007 handsG5495, he may receiveG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, ThyG4675 moneyG694 perishG1498+G1519+G684 withG4862 theeG4671, becauseG3754 thou hast thoughtG3543 that the giftG1431 of GodG2316 may be purchasedG2932 withG1223 moneyG5536.
AndG2532 whenG1722 the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005 was fully comeG4845, they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1909 one placeG846.
AndG2532 suddenlyG869 there cameG1096 a soundG2279 fromG1537 heavenG3772 asG5618 of a rushingG5342 mightyG972 windG4157, andG2532 it filledG4137 allG3650 the houseG3624 whereG3757 they wereG2258 sittingG2521.
AndG2532 there appearedG3700 unto themG846 clovenG1266 tonguesG1100 like asG5616 of fireG4442, andG5037 it satG2523 uponG1909 eachG1538+G1520 of themG846.
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 when thisG5026 wasG1096 noised abroadG5456, the multitudeG4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, becauseG3754 that everyG1538 manG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. {was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind}
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 one to anotherG4314+G240, BeholdG2400, areG1526 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whichG3588 speakG2980 GalilaeansG1057?
AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG2249 everyG1538 man in ourG2257 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG1722+G3739 we were bornG1080?
ParthiansG3934, andG2532 MedesG3370, andG2532 ElamitesG1639, andG2532 the dwellersG2730 in MesopotamiaG3318, andG5037 in JudaeaG2449, andG2532 CappadociaG2587, in PontusG4195, andG2532 AsiaG773,
PhrygiaG5435, andG5037+G2532 PamphyliaG3828, in EgyptG125, andG2532 in the partsG3313 of LibyaG3033 aboutG2596 CyreneG2957, andG2532 strangersG1927 of RomeG4514+G5037, JewsG2453 andG5037+G2532 proselytesG4339,
CretesG2912 andG2532 ArabiansG690, we do hearG191 themG846 speakG2980 in ourG2251 tonguesG1100 the wonderful worksG3167 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839, andG2532 were in doubtG1280, sayingG3004 oneG243 toG4314 anotherG243, WhatG5101 meanethG2309+G302+G1511 thisG5124?
OthersG2087 mockingG5512 saidG3004+G3754, These men areG1526 fullG3325 of new wineG1098.
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudaeaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG2077 thisG5124 knownG1110 unto youG5213, andG2532 hearkenG1801 to myG3450 wordsG4487:
ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG5210 supposeG5274, seeingG1063 it isG2076 but the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:
The sunG2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, beforeG2228+G4250 that greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that whosoeverG3739+G3956+G302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG2588, andG5037 saidG2036 untoG4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG5216 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860 isG2076 unto youG5213, andG2532 to yourG5216 childrenG5043, andG2532 to allG3956 that are afar offG1519+G3112, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316 shall callG302+G4341.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
ThenG3303+G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG2258 togetherG1909+G846, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839;
AndG2532 soldG4097 their possessionsG2933 andG2532 goodsG5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 every manG5100 hadG302+G2192 needG5532.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
PraisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the churchG1577 dailyG2596+G2250 such as should be savedG4982.
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.
HowbeitG1161 manyG4183 of them which heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; andG2532 the numberG706 of the menG435 wasG1096 aboutG5616 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.
AndG1161 the multitudeG4128 of them that believedG4100 wereG2258 of one heartG2588 andG2532 of oneG3391 soulG5590: neitherG2532+G3761 saidG3004 anyG1520 of them that oughtG5100 of the things which heG846 possessedG5224 wasG1511 his ownG2398; butG235 theyG846 hadG2258 all thingsG537 commonG2839.
ThatG2443 they allG3956 may beG5600 oneG1520; asG2531 thouG4771, FatherG3962, art inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 theeG4671, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 may beG5600 oneG1520 inG1722 usG2254: thatG2443 the worldG2889 may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
AndG1161 byG1223 the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 wereG1096 manyG4183 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 wroughtG1096 amongG1722 the peopleG2992; (andG2532 they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1722 Solomon'sG4672 porchG4745.
NowG1161 the SpiritG4151 speakethG3004 expresslyG4490, thatG3754 inG1722 the latterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 shall depart fromG868 the faithG4102, giving heedG4337 to seducingG4108 spiritsG4151, andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of devilsG1140;
Speaking liesG5573 inG1722 hypocrisyG5272; havingG2743 theirG2398 conscienceG4893 seared with a hot ironG2743;
ForbiddingG2967 to marryG1060, and commanding to abstain fromG567 meatsG1033, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath createdG2936 toG1519 be receivedG3336 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169 of them which believeG4103 andG2532 knowG1921 the truthG225.
ForG3754 everyG3956 creatureG2938 of GodG2316 is goodG2570, andG2532 nothingG3762 to be refusedG579, if it be receivedG2983 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169:
ForG1063 it is sanctifiedG37 byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 prayerG1783.
If thou putG5294 the brethrenG80 in remembranceG5294 of these thingsG5023, thou shalt beG2071 a goodG2570 ministerG1249 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, nourished upG1789 in the wordsG3056 of faithG4102 andG2532 of goodG2570 doctrineG1319, whereuntoG3739 thou hast attainedG3877.
ButG1161 refuseG3868 profaneG952 andG2532 old wives'G1126 fablesG3454, andG1161 exerciseG1128 thyselfG4572 rather untoG4314 godlinessG2150.
ForG1063 bodilyG4984 exerciseG1129 profitethG2076+G5624 littleG4314+G3641: butG1161 godlinessG2150 isG2076 profitableG5624 untoG4314 all thingsG3956, havingG2192 promiseG1860 of the lifeG2222 that now isG3568, andG2532 of that which is to comeG3195. {little: or, for a little time}
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056 andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594.
ForG1063 thereforeG1519+G5124 weG2872 bothG2532 labourG2872 andG2532 suffer reproachG3679, becauseG3754 we trustG1679 inG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 isG2076 the SaviourG4990 of allG3956 menG444, speciallyG3122 of those that believeG4103.
These thingsG5023 commandG3853 andG2532 teachG1321.
LetG2706 no manG3367 despiseG2706 thyG4675 youthG3503; butG235 be thouG1096 an exampleG5179 of the believersG4103, inG1722 wordG3056, inG1722 conversationG391, inG1722 charityG26, inG1722 spiritG4151, inG1722 faithG4102, inG1722 purityG47.
TillG2193 I comeG2064, give attendanceG4337 to readingG320, to exhortationG3874, to doctrineG1319.
NeglectG272 notG3361 the giftG5486 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3739 was givenG1325 theeG4671 byG1223 prophecyG4394, withG3326 the laying onG1936 of the handsG5495 of the presbyteryG4244.
Meditate uponG3191 these thingsG5023; give thyselfG2468 wholly toG1722 themG5125; thatG2443 thyG4675 profitingG4297 mayG5600 appearG5318 toG1722 allG3956. {to all: or, in all things}
Take heedG1907 unto thyselfG4572, andG2532 unto the doctrineG1319; continueG1961 in themG846: forG1063 in doingG4160 thisG5124 thou shaltG4982 bothG2532 saveG4982 thyselfG4572, andG2532 them that hearG191 theeG4675.
ThisG5124 knowG1097 alsoG1161, thatG3754 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250 perilousG5467 timesG2540 shall comeG1764.
ForG1063 menG444 shall beG2071 lovers of their own selvesG5367, covetousG5366, boastersG213, proudG5244, blasphemersG989, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, unthankfulG884, unholyG462,
Without natural affectionG794, trucebreakersG786, false accusersG1228, incontinentG193, fierceG434, despisers of those that are goodG865, {false…: or, one who foments strife}
TraitorsG4273, headyG4312, highmindedG5187, lovers of pleasuresG5369 moreG3123 thanG2228 lovers of GodG5377;
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ForG1063 ofG1537 this sortG5130 are theyG1526 which creepG1744 intoG1519 housesG3614, andG2532 lead captiveG162 silly womenG1133 ladenG4987 with sinsG266, led awayG71 with diversG4164 lustsG1939,
EverG3842 learningG3129, andG2532 neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
NowG1161 asG5158 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 withstoodG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 doG436 theseG3778 alsoG2532 resistG436 the truthG225: menG444 of corruptG2704 mindsG3563, reprobateG96 concerningG4012 the faithG4102. {reprobate: or, of no judgment} {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
ButG235 they shall proceedG4298 noG3756 furtherG1909+G4119: forG1063 theirG846 follyG454 shall beG2071 manifestG1552 unto allG3956 men, asG5613 theirsG1565 alsoG2532 wasG1096.
ButG1161 thouG4771 hast fully knownG3877 myG3450 doctrineG1319, manner of lifeG72, purposeG4286, faithG4102, longsufferingG3115, charityG26, patienceG5281, {fully…: or, been a diligent follower of}
PersecutionsG1375, afflictionsG3804, whichG3634 cameG1096 unto meG3427 atG1722 AntiochG490, atG1722 IconiumG2430, atG1722 LystraG3082; whatG3634 persecutionsG1375 I enduredG5297: butG2532 out ofG1537 them allG3956 the LordG2962 deliveredG4506 meG3165.
YeaG1161, andG2532 allG3956 that willG2309 liveG2198 godlyG2153 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 shall suffer persecutionG1377.
ButG1161 evilG4190 menG444 andG2532 seducersG1114 shall waxG4298 worse and worseG1909+G5501, deceivingG4105, andG2532 being deceivedG4105.
ButG1161 continueG3306 thouG4771 inG1722 the things whichG3739 thou hast learnedG3129 andG2532 hast been assured ofG4104, knowingG1492 ofG3844 whomG5101 thou hast learnedG3129 them;
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
AndG2532 the gloryG1391 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 IG1473 have givenG1325 themG846; thatG2443 they may beG5600 oneG1520, even asG2531 weG2249 areG2070 oneG1520:
IG1473 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 thouG4771 inG1722 meG1698, thatG2443 they may beG5600 made perfectG5048 inG1519 oneG1520; andG2532 thatG2443 the worldG2889 may knowG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165, andG2532 hast lovedG25 themG846, asG2531 thou hast lovedG25 meG1691.
WhileG1161 the bridegroomG3566 tarriedG5549, they allG3956 slumberedG3573 andG2532 sleptG2518.
ThenG1161 came heG2658 toG1519 DerbeG1191 andG2532 LystraG3082: andG2532, beholdG2400, a certainG5100 discipleG3101 wasG2258 thereG1563, namedG3686 TimotheusG5095, the sonG5207 of a certainG5100 womanG1135, which was a JewessG2453, and believedG4103; butG1161 his fatherG3962 was a GreekG1672:
WhichG3739 was well reportedG3140 of byG5259 the brethrenG80 that were atG1722 LystraG3082 andG2532 IconiumG2430.
HimG5126 wouldG2309 PaulG3972 have to go forthG1831 withG4862 himG846; andG2532 tookG2983 and circumcisedG4059 himG846 becauseG1223 of the JewsG2453 whichG3588 wereG5607 inG1722 thoseG1565 quartersG5117: forG1063 they knewG1492 allG537 thatG3754 hisG846 fatherG3962 wasG5225 a GreekG1672.
AndG1161 asG5613 they went throughG1279 the citiesG4172, they deliveredG3860 themG846 the decreesG1378 for to keepG5442, that were ordainedG2919 ofG5259 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 whichG3588 were atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
And soG3303+G3767 wereG4732 the churchesG1577 establishedG4732 in the faithG4102, andG2532 increasedG4052 in numberG706 dailyG2250+G2596.
NowG1161 when they had gone throughoutG1330 PhrygiaG5435 andG2532 the regionG5561 of GalatiaG1054, and were forbiddenG2967 ofG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 to preachG2980 the wordG3056 inG1722 AsiaG773,
After they were comeG2064 toG2596 MysiaG3465, they assayedG3985 to goG4198 intoG2596 BithyniaG978: butG2532 the SpiritG4151 sufferedG1439 themG846 notG3756.
AndG1161 they passing byG3928 MysiaG3465 came downG2597 toG1519 TroasG5174.
AndG2532 a visionG3705 appearedG3700 to PaulG3972 inG1223 the nightG3571; There stoodG2258+G2476 a manG5100+G435 of MacedoniaG3110, and prayedG3870 himG846+G2532, sayingG3004, Come overG1224 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, and helpG997 usG2254.
AndG1161 afterG5613 he had seenG1492 the visionG3705, immediatelyG2112 we endeavouredG2212 to goG1831 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, assuredly gatheringG4822 thatG3754 the LordG2962 had calledG4341 usG2248 for to preach the gospelG2097 unto themG846.
ThereforeG3767 loosingG321 fromG575 TroasG5174, we came with a straight courseG2113 toG1519 SamothraciaG4543, andG5037 the nextG1966 day toG1519 NeapolisG3496;
AndG5037 from thenceG1564 toG1519 PhilippiG5375, whichG3748 isG2076 the chiefG4413 cityG4172 of that partG3310 of MacedoniaG3109, and a colonyG2862: andG1161 we wereG2258 inG1722 thatG5026 cityG4172 abidingG1304 certainG5100 daysG2250. {the chief: or, the first}
AndG5037 on the sabbathG4521+G2250 we wentG1831 out ofG1854 the cityG4172 byG3844 a river sideG4215, whereG3757 prayerG4335 was wontG3543 to be madeG1511; andG2532 we sat downG2523, and spakeG2980 unto the womenG1135 which resortedG4905 thither. {sabbath: Gr. sabbath day}
AndG2532 a certainG5100 womanG1135 namedG3686 LydiaG3070, a seller of purpleG4211, of the cityG4172 of ThyatiraG2363, which worshippedG4576 GodG2316, heardG191 us: whoseG3739 heartG2588 the LordG2962 openedG1272, that she attendedG4337 unto the things which were spokenG2980 ofG5259 PaulG3972.
AndG1161 whenG5613 she was baptizedG907, andG2532 herG846 householdG3624, she besoughtG3870 us, sayingG3004, IfG1487 ye have judgedG2919 meG3165 to beG1511 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624, and abideG3306 there. AndG2532 she constrainedG3849 usG2248.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, as weG2257 wentG4198 toG1519 prayerG4335, a certainG5100 damselG3814 possessedG2192 with a spiritG4151 of divinationG4436 metG528 usG2254, whichG3748 broughtG3930 herG846 mastersG2962 muchG4183 gainG2039 by soothsayingG3132: {of divination: or, of Python}
The sameG3778 followedG2628 PaulG3972 andG2532 usG2254, and criedG2896, sayingG3004, TheseG3778 menG444 areG1526 the servantsG1401 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whichG3748 shewG2605 unto usG2254 the wayG3598 of salvationG4991.
AndG1161 thisG5124 did sheG4160+G1909 manyG4183 daysG2250. ButG1161 PaulG3972, being grievedG1278, turnedG1994 andG2532 saidG2036 to the spiritG4151, I commandG3853 theeG4671 inG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to comeG1831 out ofG575 herG846. AndG2532 he came outG1831 the sameG846 hourG5610.
AndG1161 when herG846 mastersG2962 sawG1492 thatG3754 the hopeG1680 of theirG846 gainsG2039 was goneG1831, they caughtG1949 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, and drewG1670 them intoG1519 the marketplaceG58 untoG1909 the rulersG758, {marketplace: or, court}
AndG2532 broughtG4317 themG846 to the magistratesG4755, sayingG2036, TheseG3778 menG444, beingG5225 JewsG2453, do exceedingly troubleG1613 ourG2257 cityG4172,
AndG2532 teachG2605 customsG1485, whichG3739 areG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for usG2254 to receiveG3858, neitherG3761 to observeG4160, beingG5607 RomansG4514.
AndG2532 the multitudeG3793 rose up togetherG4911 againstG2596 themG846: andG2532 the magistratesG4755 rent offG4048 theirG846 clothesG2440, and commandedG2753 to beatG4463 them.
AndG5037 when they had laidG2007 manyG4183 stripesG4127 upon themG846, they castG906 them intoG1519 prisonG5438, chargingG3853 the jailorG1200 to keepG5083 themG846 safelyG806:
WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3586.
AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 unto GodG2316: andG1161 the prisonersG1198 heardG1874 themG846.
AndG1161 suddenlyG869 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, so thatG5620 the foundationsG2310 of the prisonG1201 were shakenG4531: andG5037 immediatelyG3916 allG3956 the doorsG2374 were openedG455, andG2532 every one'sG3956 bandsG1199 were loosedG447.
AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG1200 awakingG1096 out of his sleepG1853, andG2532 seeingG1492 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374 openG455, he drew outG4685 his swordG3162, and wouldG3195 have killedG337 himselfG1438, supposingG3543 that the prisonersG1198 had been fledG1628.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 criedG5455 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, DoG4238 thyselfG4572 noG3367 harmG2556: forG1063 we areG2070 allG537 hereG1759.
ThenG1161 he calledG154 for a lightG5457, and sprang inG1530, andG2532 cameG1096 tremblingG1790, and fell down beforeG4363 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609,
AndG2532 broughtG4254 themG846 outG1854, and saidG5346, SirsG2962, whatG5101 mustG1163 IG3165 doG4160 toG2443 be savedG4982?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, BelieveG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 thouG4771 shalt be savedG4982, andG2532 thyG4675 houseG3624.
AndG2532 they spakeG2980 unto himG846 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, andG2532 to allG3956 that were inG1722 hisG846 houseG3614.
AndG2532 he tookG3880 themG846+G1722 the sameG1565 hourG5610 of the nightG3571, and washedG3068 their stripesG575+G4127; andG2532 was baptizedG907, heG846 andG2532 allG3956 hisG846, straightwayG3916.
AndG5037 when he had broughtG321 themG846 intoG1519 his houseG3624, he setG3908 meatG5132 before themG3908, andG2532 rejoicedG21, believingG4100 in GodG2316 with allG3832 hisG846 houseG3832.
AndG1161 when it wasG1096 dayG2250, the magistratesG4755 sentG649 the serjeantsG4465, sayingG3004, LetG630 thoseG1565 menG444 goG630.
AndG1161 the keeper of the prisonG1200 toldG518 thisG5128 sayingG3056 toG4314 PaulG3972+G3754, The magistratesG4755 have sentG649 toG2443 let you goG630: nowG3568 thereforeG3767 departG1831, and goG4198 inG1722 peaceG1515.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, They have beatenG1194 usG2248 openlyG1219 uncondemnedG178, beingG5225 RomansG4514+G444, and have castG906 us intoG1519 prisonG5438; andG2532 nowG3568 do they thrustG1544 usG2248 outG1544 privilyG2977? nayG3756 verilyG1063; butG235 let them comeG2064 themselvesG846 and fetchG1806 usG2248 outG1806.
AndG1161 the serjeantsG4465 toldG312 theseG5023 wordsG4487 unto the magistratesG4755: andG2532 they fearedG5399, when they heardG191 thatG3754 they wereG1526 RomansG4514.
AndG2532 they cameG2064 and besoughtG3870 themG846, andG2532 brought them outG1806, and desiredG2065 them to depart outG1831 of the cityG4172.
AndG1161 they wentG1831 out ofG1537 the prisonG5438, and enteredG1525 intoG1519 the house of LydiaG3070: andG2532 when they had seenG1492 the brethrenG80, they comfortedG3870 themG846, andG2532 departedG1831.
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1511 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424.
AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.
AndG1161 the brethrenG80 immediatelyG2112 sent awayG1599+G5037 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 byG1223 nightG3571 untoG1519 BereaG960: whoG3748 comingG3854 thither wentG549 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
ThereforeG3767+G3303 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 believedG4100; alsoG2532 of honourableG2158 womenG1135 whichG3588 were GreeksG1674, andG2532 of menG435, notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 whenG5613 the JewsG2453 ofG575 ThessalonicaG2332 had knowledgeG1097 thatG3754+G2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 was preachedG2605 ofG5259 PaulG3972 atG1722 BereaG960, they cameG2064 thither alsoG2546, and stirred upG4531 the peopleG3793.
AndG1161 thenG5119 immediatelyG2112 the brethrenG80 sent awayG1821 PaulG3972 to goG4198 as it wereG5613 toG1909 the seaG2281: butG1161+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 abodeG5278 thereG1563 stillG5278.
AndG1161 they that conductedG2525 PaulG3972 broughtG71 himG846 untoG2193 AthensG116: andG2532 receivingG2983 a commandmentG1785 untoG4314 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 for toG2443 comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 with all speedG5613+G5033, they departedG1826.
NowG1161 while PaulG3972 waited forG1551 themG846 atG1722 AthensG116, hisG846 spiritG4151 was stirredG3947 inG1722 himG846, when he sawG2334 the cityG4172 wholly givenG5607 to idolatryG2712. {wholly…: or, full of idols}
ThereforeG3767+G3303 disputed heG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, andG2532 with the devout personsG4576, andG2532 inG1722 the marketG58 dailyG2596+G3956+G2250 withG4314 them that met with himG3909.
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
AndG5037 they tookG1949 himG846, and brought himG71 untoG1909 AreopagusG697, sayingG3004, MayG1410 we knowG1097 whatG5101 thisG3778 newG2537 doctrineG1322, whereofG5259 thouG4675 speakestG2980, is? {Areopagus: or, Mars-hill: it was the highest court in Athens}
ForG1063 thou bringestG1533 certainG5100 strange thingsG3579 toG1519 ourG2257 earsG189: we wouldG1014 knowG1097 thereforeG3767 whatG5101 these thingsG5023 meanG302+G2309+G1511.
(ForG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 strangersG3581 whichG3588 were thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 inG1519 nothingG3762 elseG2087, but eitherG2228 to tellG3004, orG2532 to hearG191 someG5100 new thingG2537.)
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of Mars' hillG697, and saidG5346, Ye menG435 of AthensG117, I perceiveG2334 thatG5613 inG2596 all thingsG3956 yeG5209 are too superstitiousG1174. {Mars' hill: or, court of the Areopagites}
ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG5216 devotionsG4574+G2532, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG1722+G3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG5126 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG5213. {devotions: or, gods that ye worship}
GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG1722+G846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499;
NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men'sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2596 all thingsG3956;
AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3734 of theirG846 habitationG2733;
That they should seekG2212 the LordG2962, ifG1487 haplyG686 they might feelG5584 after himG846, andG2532 find himG2147, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257:
ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG2070; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 of yourG5209 ownG2596 poetsG4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG2070 alsoG2532 hisG5120 offspringG1085.
Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to thinkG3543 that the GodheadG2304 isG1511 likeG3664 unto goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man'sG444 deviceG1761.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
AndG1161 when they heardG191 of the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3303 mockedG5512: andG1161 others saidG2036, We will hearG191 theeG4675 againG3825 ofG4012 thisG5127 matter.
SoG2532+G3779 PaulG3972 departedG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846.
HowbeitG1161 certainG5100 menG435 claveG2853 unto himG846, and believedG4100: amongG1722 the whichG3739+G2532 was DionysiusG1354 the AreopagiteG698, andG2532 a womanG1135 namedG3686 DamarisG1152, andG2532 othersG2087 withG4862 themG846.
ForG1063 yourselvesG846, brethrenG80, knowG1492 ourG2257 entrance inG1529 untoG4314 youG5209, thatG3754 it wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756:
ButG235 evenG2532 after that we had suffered beforeG4310, andG2532 were shamefully entreatedG5195, asG2531 ye knowG1492, atG1722 PhilippiG5375, we were boldG3955 inG1722 ourG2257 GodG2316 to speakG2980 untoG4314 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 withG1722 muchG4183 contentionG73.
ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388:
ButG235 asG2531 we were allowedG1381 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be put in trustG4100 with the gospelG2098, even soG3779 we speakG2980; notG3756 asG5613 pleasingG700 menG444, butG235 GodG2316, which triethG1381 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 neitherG3777 at any timeG4218 used weG1096 flatteringG2850 wordsG1722+G3056, asG2531 ye knowG1492, norG3777 a clokeG1722+G4392 of covetousnessG4124; GodG2316 is witnessG3144:
NorG3777 ofG1537 menG444 soughtG2212 we gloryG1391, neitherG3777 ofG575 youG5216, norG3777 yet ofG575 othersG243, when we mightG1410 have beenG1511 burdensomeG1722+G922, asG5613 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. {been…: or, used authority}
ButG235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216, even asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG302+G2282 herG1438 childrenG5043:
SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG27 unto usG2254.
ForG1063 ye rememberG3421, brethrenG80, ourG2257 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449: forG1063 labouringG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, becauseG4314 we wouldG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 unto anyG5100 of youG5216, we preachedG2784 untoG1519 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316.
YeG5210 are witnessesG3144, andG2532 GodG2316 also, howG5613 holilyG3743 andG2532 justlyG1346 andG2532 unblameablyG274 we behaved ourselvesG1096 among youG5213 that believeG4100:
AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 and chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5209+G5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043,
ThatG1519 yeG5209 would walkG4043 worthyG516 of GodG2316, who hath calledG2564 youG5209 untoG1519 hisG1438 kingdomG932 andG2532 gloryG1391.
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
ForG1063 yeG5210, brethrenG80, becameG1096 followersG3402 of the churchesG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 inG1722 JudaeaG2449 areG5607 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424: forG3754 yeG5210 alsoG2532 have sufferedG3958 like thingsG5024 ofG5259 your ownG2398 countrymenG4853, evenG2532 asG2531 they haveG846 ofG5259 the JewsG2453:
Who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 their ownG2398 prophetsG4396, andG2532 have persecutedG1559 usG2248; andG2532 they pleaseG700 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 are contraryG1727 to allG3956 menG444: {persecuted us: or, chased us out}
ForbiddingG2967 usG2248 to speakG2980 to the GentilesG1484 thatG2443 they might be savedG4982, toG1519 fill upG378 theirG846 sinsG266 alwayG3842: forG1161 the wrathG3709 is comeG5348 uponG1909 themG846 toG1519 the uttermostG5056.
ButG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, being takenG642 fromG575 youG5216 forG4314 a shortG5610 timeG2540 in presenceG4383, notG3756 in heartG2588, endeavouredG4704 the more abundantlyG4056 to seeG1492 yourG5216 faceG4383 withG1722 greatG4183 desireG1939.
WhereforeG1352 we wouldG2309 have comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, evenG3303 IG1473 PaulG3972, onceG2532+G530 andG2532 againG1364; butG2532 SatanG4567 hinderedG1465 usG2248.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is ourG2257 hopeG1680, orG2228 joyG5479, orG2228 crownG4735 of rejoicingG2746+G2228? Are notG3780 evenG2532 yeG5210 in the presenceG1715 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952? {rejoicing: or, glorying}
ForG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 gloryG1391 andG2532 joyG5479.
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
