AfterG3326 thisG5023 there wasG2258 a feastG1859 of the JewsG2453; andG2532 JesusG2424 went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
NowG1161 there isG2076 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 byG1909 the sheepG4262 market a poolG2861, whichG3588 is calledG1951 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 BethesdaG964, havingG2192 fiveG4002 porchesG4745. {market: or, gate}
InG1722 theseG5025 layG2621 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 of impotent folkG770, of blindG5185, haltG5560, witheredG3584, waiting forG1551 the movingG2796 of the waterG5204.
ForG1063 an angelG32 went downG2597 atG2596 a certain seasonG2540 intoG1722 the poolG2861, andG2532 troubledG5015 the waterG5204: whosoever thenG3767 firstG4413 afterG3326 the troublingG5016 of the waterG5204 stepped inG1684 was madeG1096 wholeG5199 ofG3739 whatsoeverG1221 diseaseG3553 he hadG2722.
AndG1161 a certainG5100 manG444 wasG2258 thereG1563, which hadG2192 an infirmityG1722+G769 thirtyG5144 and eightG3638 yearsG2094.
When JesusG2424 sawG1492 himG5126 lieG2621, andG2532 knewG1097 thatG3754 he had beenG2192 nowG2235 a longG4183 timeG5550 in that case, he saithG3004 unto himG846, Wilt thouG2309 be madeG1096 wholeG5199?
The impotent manG770 answeredG611 himG846, SirG2962, I haveG2192 noG3756 manG444, whenG3752 the waterG5204 is troubledG5015, toG2443 putG906 meG3165 intoG1519 the poolG2861: butG1161 whileG1722+G3739 IG1473 am comingG2064, anotherG243 steppeth downG2597 beforeG4253 meG1700.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, RiseG1453, take upG142 thyG4675 bedG2895, andG2532 walkG4043.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the manG444 was madeG1096 wholeG5199, andG2532 took upG142 hisG846 bedG2895, andG2532 walkedG4043: andG1161 onG1722 the sameG1565 dayG2250 wasG2258 the sabbathG4521.
The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him that was curedG2323, It isG2076 the sabbath dayG4521: it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to carryG142 thy bedG2895.
He answeredG611 themG846, He that madeG4160 meG3165 wholeG5199, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, Take upG142 thyG4675 bedG2895, andG2532 walkG4043.
ThenG3767 asked theyG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 manG444 isG2076 that whichG3588 saidG2036 unto theeG4671, Take upG142 thyG4675 bedG2895, andG2532 walkG4043?
AndG1161 he that was healedG2390 wistG1492 notG3756 whoG5101 it wasG2076: forG1063 JesusG2424 had conveyed himself awayG1593, a multitudeG3793 beingG5607 inG1722 that placeG5117. {a multitude…: or, from the multitude that was}
AfterwardG3326+G5023 JesusG2424 findethG2147 himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2396, thou art madeG1096 wholeG5199: sinG264 no moreG3371, lestG3363 a worse thingG5501+G5100 comeG1096 unto theeG4671.
The manG444 departedG565, andG2532 toldG312 the JewsG2453 thatG3754 it wasG2076 JesusG2424, whichG3588 had madeG4160 himG846 wholeG5199.
AndG2532 thereforeG1223+G5124 didG1377 the JewsG2453 persecuteG1377 JesusG2424, andG2532 soughtG2212 to slayG615 himG846, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 these thingsG5023 onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521.
ButG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, MyG3450 FatherG3962 workethG2038 hithertoG2193+G737, and IG2504 workG2038.
ThereforeG1223+G5124+G3767 the JewsG2453 soughtG2212 the moreG3123 to killG615 himG846, becauseG3754 heG3089 notG3756 onlyG3440 had brokenG3089 the sabbathG4521, butG235 saidG3004 alsoG2532 that GodG2316 was hisG2398 FatherG3962, makingG4160 himselfG1438 equalG2470 with GodG2316.
ThenG3767 answeredG611 JesusG2424 andG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, The SonG5207 canG1410+G3756 doG4160 nothingG3762 ofG575 himselfG1438, butG3362 whatG5100 he seethG991 the FatherG3962 doG4160: forG1063 what things soeverG3739+G302 heG1565 doethG4160, theseG5023 alsoG2532 doethG4160 the SonG5207 likewiseG3668.
ForG1063 the FatherG3962 lovethG5368 the SonG5207, andG2532 shewethG1166 himG846 all thingsG3956 thatG3739 himselfG846 doethG4160: andG2532 he will shewG1166 himG846 greaterG3187 worksG2041 thanG3187 theseG5130, thatG2443 yeG5210 may marvelG2296.
ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3962 raiseth upG1453 the deadG3498, andG2532 quickenethG2227 them; evenG2532 soG3779 the SonG5207 quickenethG2227 whomG3739 he willG2309.
ForG1063+G3761 the FatherG3962 judgethG2919 no manG3762, butG235 hath committedG1325 allG3956 judgmentG2920 unto the SonG5207:
ThatG2443 allG3956 men should honourG5091 the SonG5207, even asG2531 they honourG5091 the FatherG3962. He that honourethG5091 notG3361 the SonG5207 honourethG5091 notG3756 the FatherG3962 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 himG846.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, He that hearethG191 myG3450 wordG3056, andG2532 believethG4100 on him that sentG3992 meG3165, hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 shallG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 intoG1519 condemnationG2920; butG235 is passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG2288 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, The hourG5610 is comingG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG2076, whenG3753 the deadG3498 shall hearG191 the voiceG5456 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316: andG2532 they that hearG191 shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3962 hathG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; soG2532+G3779 hath he givenG1325 to the SonG5207 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438;
AndG2532 hath givenG1325 himG846 authorityG1849 to executeG4160 judgmentG2920 alsoG2532, becauseG3754 he isG2076 the SonG5207 of manG444.
MarvelG2296 notG3361 at thisG5124: forG3754 the hourG5610 is comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 allG3956 that are inG1722 the gravesG3419 shall hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456,
AndG2532 shall come forthG1607; they that have doneG4160 goodG18, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222; andG1161 they that have doneG4238 evilG5337, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of damnationG2920.
IG1473 canG1410 ofG575 mine own selfG1683 doG4160 nothingG3756+G3762: asG2531 I hearG191, I judgeG2919: andG2532 myG1699 judgmentG2920 isG2076 justG1342; becauseG3754 I seekG2212 notG3756 mine ownG1699 willG2307, butG235 the willG2307 of the FatherG3962 which hath sentG3992 meG3165.
IfG1437 IG1473 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 myselfG1683, myG3450 witnessG3141 isG2076 notG3756 trueG227.
There isG2076 anotherG243 that beareth witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700; andG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 the witnessG3141 whichG3739 he witnessethG3140 ofG4012 meG1700 isG2076 trueG227.
YeG5210 sentG649 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 he bare witnessG3140 unto the truthG225.
ButG1161 IG1473 receiveG2983 notG3756 testimonyG3141 fromG3844 manG444: butG235 these thingsG5023 I sayG3004, thatG2443 yeG5210 might be savedG4982.
HeG1565 wasG2258 a burningG2545 andG2532 a shiningG5316 lightG3088: andG1161 yeG5210 were willingG2309 forG4314 a seasonG5610 to rejoiceG21 inG1722 hisG846 lightG5457.
ButG1161 IG1473 haveG2192 greaterG3187 witnessG3141 than that of JohnG2491: forG1063 the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 hath givenG1325 meG3427 toG2443 finishG5048+G846, the sameG846 worksG2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160, bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700, thatG3754 the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 the FatherG3962 himselfG846, which hath sentG3992 meG3165, hath borne witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700. Ye haveG191 neitherG3777 heardG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 at any timeG4455, norG3777 seenG3708 hisG846 shapeG1491.
AndG2532 ye haveG2192 notG3756 hisG846 wordG3056 abidingG3306 inG1722 youG5213: forG3754 whomG3739+G1565 he hath sentG649, himG5129 yeG5210 believeG4100 notG3756.
SearchG2045 the scripturesG1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG5210 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 are theyG1526 which testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700.
AndG2532 ye willG2309 notG3756 comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 lifeG2222.
I receiveG2983 notG3756 honourG1391 fromG3844 menG444.
ButG235 I knowG1097 youG5209, thatG3754 ye haveG2192 notG3756 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 youG1438.
I amG1473 comeG2064 inG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 nameG3686, andG2532 ye receiveG2983 meG3165 notG3756: ifG1437 anotherG243 shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG2398 nameG3686, himG1565 ye will receiveG2983.
HowG4459 canG1410 yeG5210 believeG4100, which receiveG2983 honourG1391 one of anotherG3844+G240, andG2532 seekG2212 notG3756 the honourG1391 that cometh fromG3844 GodG2316 onlyG3441?
DoG1380 notG3361 thinkG1380 thatG3754 IG1473 will accuseG2723 youG5216 toG4314 the FatherG3962: there isG2076 one that accusethG2723 youG5216, even MosesG3475, inG1519 whomG3739 yeG5210 trustG1679.
ForG1063+G1487 had ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would have believedG4100+G302 meG1698: forG1063 heG1565 wroteG1125 ofG4012 meG1700.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye believeG4100 notG3756 hisG1565 writingsG1121, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 myG1699 wordsG4487?
YeG5210 sentG649 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 he bare witnessG3140 unto the truthG225.
ButG1161 IG1473 haveG2192 greaterG3187 witnessG3141 than that of JohnG2491: forG1063 the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 hath givenG1325 meG3427 toG2443 finishG5048+G846, the sameG846 worksG2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160, bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700, thatG3754 the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 the FatherG3962 himselfG846, which hath sentG3992 meG3165, hath borne witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700. Ye haveG191 neitherG3777 heardG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 at any timeG4455, norG3777 seenG3708 hisG846 shapeG1491.
SearchG2045 the scripturesG1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG5210 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 are theyG1526 which testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700.
ForG1063+G1487 had ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would have believedG4100+G302 meG1698: forG1063 heG1565 wroteG1125 ofG4012 meG1700.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye believeG4100 notG3756 hisG1565 writingsG1121, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 myG1699 wordsG4487?
For their rockH6697 is not as our RockH6697, even our enemiesH341 themselves being judgesH6414.
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}
And IG2504, brethrenG80, when I cameG2064 toG4314 youG5209, cameG2064 notG3756 withG2596 excellencyG5247 of speechG3056 orG2228 of wisdomG4678, declaringG2605 unto youG5213 the testimonyG3142 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I determinedG2919 notG3756 to knowG1492 any thingG5100 amongG1722 youG5213, saveG1508 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 himG5126 crucifiedG4717.
AndG2532 IG1473 wasG1096 withG4314 youG5209 inG1722 weaknessG769, andG2532 inG1722 fearG5401, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 tremblingG5156.
AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 was notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man'sG442 wisdomG4678, butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of powerG1411: {enticing: or, persuasible}
ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600 inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of menG444, butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. {stand: Gr. be}
HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfectG5046: yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG165, norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165, that come to noughtG2673:
ButG235 we speakG2980 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mysteryG3466, even the hiddenG613 wisdom, whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309 beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 gloryG1391:
WhichG3739 noneG3762 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165 knewG1097: forG1487+G1063 had they knownG1097 it, theyG302 wouldG4717 notG3756 have crucifiedG4717 the LordG2962 of gloryG1391.
ButG235 asG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3739, EyeG3788 hathG1492 notG3756 seenG1492, norG2532+G3756 earG3775 heardG191, neitherG2532+G3756 have enteredG305 intoG1909 the heartG2588 of manG444, the things whichG3739 GodG2316 hath preparedG2090 for them that loveG25 himG846.
ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601 them unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151: forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045 all thingsG3956, yeaG2532, the deep thingsG899 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 manG444 knowethG1492 the thingsG3588 of a manG444, saveG1508 the spiritG4151 of manG444 whichG3588 is inG1722 himG846? evenG2532 soG3779 the thingsG3588 of GodG2316 knowethG1492 no manG3762, butG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
ButG1161 the naturalG5591 manG444 receivethG1209 notG3756 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: forG1063 they areG2076 foolishnessG3472 unto himG846: neitherG2532+G3756 canG1410 he knowG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discernedG350.
ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350+G3303 all thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350 ofG5259 no manG3762. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned}
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962, thatG3739 he may instructG4822 himG846? ButG1161 weG2249 haveG2192 the mindG3563 of ChristG5547. {may: Gr. shall}
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}
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 GodG2316, little childrenG5040, andG2532 have overcomeG3528 themG846: becauseG3754 greaterG3187 is he that isG2076 inG1722 youG5213, thanG2228 he that is inG1722 the worldG2889.
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.
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.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
IfG1489 ye have heardG191 of the dispensationG3622 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 you-wardG5209:
How thatG3754 byG2596 revelationG602 he made knownG1107 unto meG3427 the mysteryG3466; (asG2531 I wrote aforeG4270 inG1722 few wordsG3641, {afore…: or, a little before}
WherebyG4314+G3739, when ye readG314, ye mayG1410 understandG3539 myG3450 knowledgeG4907 inG1722 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547)
WhichG3739 inG1722 otherG2087 agesG1074 wasG1107 notG3756 made knownG1107 unto the sonsG5207 of menG444, asG5613 it isG601 nowG3568 revealedG601 unto hisG846 holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396 byG1722 the SpiritG4151;
That the GentilesG1484 should beG1511 fellowheirsG4789, andG2532 of the same bodyG4954, andG2532 partakersG4830 of hisG846 promiseG1860 inG1722 ChristG5547 byG1223 the gospelG2098:
WhereofG3739 I was madeG1096 a ministerG1249, accordingG2596 to the giftG1431 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 givenG1325 unto meG3427 byG2596 the effectual workingG1753 of hisG846 powerG1411.
Unto meG1698, who am less than the leastG1647 of allG3956 saintsG40, isG1325 thisG3778 graceG5485 givenG1325, that I should preachG2097 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 the unsearchableG421 richesG4149 of ChristG5547;
AndG2532 to makeG5461 allG3956 men seeG5461 whatG5101 is the fellowshipG2842 of the mysteryG3466, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165 hath been hidG613 inG1722 GodG2316, whoG3588 createdG2936 all thingsG3956 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 boldnessG3954 andG2532 accessG4318 withG1722 confidenceG4006 byG1223 the faithG4102 of himG846.
WhereforeG1352 I desireG154 that ye faintG1573 notG3361 atG1722 myG3450 tribulationsG2347 forG5228 youG5216, whichG3748 isG2076 yourG5216 gloryG1391.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 I bowG2578 myG3450 kneesG1119 untoG4314 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
OfG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 familyG3965 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1909+G1093 is namedG3687,
ThatG2443 he would grantG1325 youG5213, according toG2596 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391, to be strengthenedG2901 with mightG1411 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 inG1519 the innerG2080 manG444;
That ChristG5547 may dwellG2730 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 byG1223 faithG4102; thatG2443 ye, being rootedG4492 andG2532 groundedG2311 inG1722 loveG26,
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimotheusG5095 our brotherG80,
To the saintsG40 andG2532 faithfulG4103 brethrenG80 inG1722 ChristG5547 which are atG1722 ColosseG2857: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, prayingG4336 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216,
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AsG2531 yeG3129 alsoG2532 learnedG3129 ofG575 EpaphrasG1889 ourG2257 dearG27 fellowservantG4889, whoG3739 isG2076 forG5228 youG5216 a faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 of ChristG5547;
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 alsoG2532, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 we heardG191 it, doG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 with the knowledgeG1922 of hisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understandingG4907;
That yeG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of the LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasingG699, being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316;
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
Giving thanksG2168 unto the FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath madeG2427 usG2248 meetG2427 toG1519 be partakersG3310 of the inheritanceG2819 of the saintsG40 inG1722 lightG5457:
WhoG3739 hath deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, andG2532 hath translatedG3179 us intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of hisG846 dearG26 SonG5207: {his…: Gr. the Son of his love}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, even the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
WhoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of everyG3956 creatureG2937:
ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3956 createdG2936, that are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 that are inG1909 earthG1093, visibleG3707 andG2532 invisibleG517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: whoG3739 isG2076 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 might haveG1096 the preeminenceG4409. {in…: or, among all}
For it pleasedG2106 the Father thatG3754 inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG4138 dwellG2730;
AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG129 of hisG846 crossG4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be things inG1909 earthG1093, orG1535 things inG1722 heavenG3772. {having…: or, making}
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
WhereofG3739 IG1473 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249, according toG2596 the dispensationG3622 of GodG2316 whichG3588 is givenG1325 to meG3427 forG1519 youG5209, to fulfilG4137 the wordG3056 of GodG2316; {to fulfil…: or, fully to preach the word}
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
WhomG3739 weG2249 preachG2605, warningG3560 everyG3956 manG444, andG2532 teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; thatG2443 we may presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 perfectG5046 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 IG2872 alsoG2532 labourG2872, strivingG75 according toG2596 hisG846 workingG1753, whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 meG1698 mightilyG1722+G1411.
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
