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.
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}
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, these thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto youG5213, thatG3363 ye sinG264 notG3363. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG2257 sinsG266: andG1161 notG3756 forG4012 oursG2251 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 forG4012 the sins of the wholeG3650 worldG2889.
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we do knowG1097 thatG3754 we knowG1097 himG846, ifG1437 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785.
He that saithG3004, I knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 keepethG5083 notG3361 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the truthG225 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG5129.
ButG1161 whosoG3739 keepethG302+G5083 hisG846 wordG3056, inG1722 himG5129 verilyG230 isG5048 the loveG26 of GodG2316 perfectedG5048: herebyG1722+G5129 know weG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 inG1722 himG846.
He that saithG3004 he abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 oughtG3784 himselfG846 alsoG2532 soG3779 to walkG4043, even asG2531 heG1565 walkedG4043.
BrethrenG80, I writeG1125 noG3756 newG2537 commandmentG1785 unto youG5213, butG235 an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 ye hadG2192 fromG575 the beginningG746. The oldG3820 commandmentG1785 isG2076 the wordG3056 whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746.
AgainG3825, a newG2537 commandmentG1785 I writeG1125 unto youG5213, which thingG3739 isG2076 trueG227 inG1722 himG846 andG2532 inG1722 youG5213: becauseG3754 the darknessG4653 is pastG3855, andG2532 the trueG228 lightG5457 nowG2235 shinethG5316.
He that saithG3004 he isG1511 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80, isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653 even untilG2193 nowG737.
He that lovethG25 hisG846 brotherG80 abidethG3306 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 there isG2076 noneG3756 occasion of stumblingG4625 inG1722 himG846. {occasion…: Gr. scandall}
ButG1161 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80 isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 he goethG5217, becauseG3754 that darknessG4653 hath blindedG5186 hisG846 eyesG3788.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG5040, becauseG3754 your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 youG5213 forG1223 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG1223.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG3813, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 the FatherG3962.
I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye areG2075 strongG2478, andG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190.
LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG2889, neitherG3366 the things that are inG1722 the worldG2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG846.
ForG3754 allG3956 that is inG1722 the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, andG2532 the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, andG2532 the prideG212 of lifeG979, isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3962, butG235 isG2076 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 the worldG2889 passeth awayG3855, andG2532 the lustG1939 thereofG846: butG1161 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
Little childrenG3813, it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610.
They went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257, butG235 they wereG2258 notG3756 ofG1537 usG2257; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG2258 ofG1537 usG2257, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG2257: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1526 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG2257.
ButG2532 yeG5210 haveG2192 an unctionG5545 fromG575 the Holy OneG40, andG2532 ye knowG1492 all thingsG3956.
I haveG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 unto youG5213 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 the truthG225, butG235 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 itG846, andG2532 thatG3754 noG3956+G3756 lieG5579 isG2076 ofG1537 the truthG225.
WhoG5101 isG2076 a liarG5583 butG1508 he that deniethG720 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076+G3756 the ChristG5547? HeG3778 isG2076 antichristG500, that deniethG720 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the SonG5207.
WhosoeverG3956 deniethG720 the SonG5207, the same hathG2192 notG3761 the FatherG3962: (but) he that acknowledgethG3670 the SonG5207 hathG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
LetG3306 that thereforeG3767 abideG3306 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 yeG5210 have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. IfG1437 that whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746 shall remainG3306 inG1722 youG5213, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall continueG3306 inG1722 the SonG5207, andG2532 inG1722 the FatherG3962.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the promiseG1860 thatG3739 heG846 hath promisedG1861 usG2254, even eternalG166 lifeG2222.
TheseG5023 things have I writtenG1125 unto youG5213 concerningG4012 them that seduceG4105 youG5209.
ButG2532 the anointingG5545 whichG3739 yeG5210 have receivedG2983 ofG575 himG846 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye needG5532+G2192 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 teachG1321 youG5209: butG235 asG5613 the sameG846 anointingG5545 teachethG1321 youG5209 ofG4012 all thingsG3956, andG2532 isG2076 truthG227, andG2532 isG2076 noG3756 lieG5579, andG2532 even asG2531 it hath taughtG1321 youG5209, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 himG846. {in him: or, in it}
AndG2532 nowG3568, little childrenG5040, abideG3306 inG1722 himG846; thatG2443, whenG3752 he shall appearG5319, we may haveG2192 confidenceG3954, andG2532 notG3361 be ashamedG153 beforeG575 himG846 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
IfG1437 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 he isG2076 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 every oneG3956 that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 is bornG1080 ofG1537 himG846. {ye know that every: or, know ye…}
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
HowG5613 GodG2316 anointedG5548 JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with powerG1411: whoG846+G3739 went aboutG1330 doing goodG2109, andG2532 healingG2390 allG3956 that were oppressedG2616 ofG5259 the devilG1228; forG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 that they may recover themselvesG366 out ofG1537 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, who are taken captiveG2221 byG5259 himG846 atG1519 hisG1565 willG2307. {recover…: Gr. awake} {taken…: Gr. taken alive}
They went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257, butG235 they wereG2258 notG3756 ofG1537 usG2257; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG2258 ofG1537 usG2257, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG2257: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1526 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG2257.
ForG1063 thoughG1499 I be absentG548 in the fleshG4561, yetG235 am IG1510 withG4862 youG5213 in the spiritG4151, joyingG5463 andG2532 beholdingG991 yourG5216 orderG5010, andG2532 the stedfastnessG4733 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547.
