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.
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
Set your affectionG5426 on things aboveG507, notG3361 on things onG1909 the earthG1093. {affection: or, mind}
ForG1063 ye are deadG599, andG2532 yourG5216 lifeG2222 is hidG2928 withG4862 ChristG5547 inG1722 GodG2316.
WhenG3752 ChristG5547, who is ourG2257 lifeG2222, shall appearG5319, thenG5119 shallG5319 yeG5210 alsoG2532 appearG5319 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 gloryG1391.
WhoG3588 alsoG2532 declaredG1213 unto usG2254 yourG5216 loveG26 inG1722 the SpiritG4151.
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
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}
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
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.
SanctifyG37 themG846 throughG1722 thyG4675 truthG225: thyG4674 wordG3056 isG2076 truthG225.
AndG2532 forG5228 theirG846 sakesG5228 IG1473 sanctifyG37 myselfG1683, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 mightG5600 be sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 the truthG225. {sanctified…: or, truly sanctified}
There is a pathH5410 which no fowlH5861 knowethH3045, and which the vulture'sH344 eyeH5869 hath not seenH7805:
And I will takeH5493 away mine handH3709, and thou shalt seeH7200 my back partsH268: but my faceH6440 shall not be seenH7200.
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
(ForG2532 the lifeG2222 was manifestedG5319, andG2532 we have seenG3708 it, andG2532 bear witnessG3140, andG2532 shewG518 unto youG5213 that eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3748 wasG2258 withG4314 the FatherG3962, andG2532 was manifestedG5319 unto usG2254;)
NeverthelessG235 deathG2288 reignedG936 fromG575 AdamG76 toG3360 MosesG3475, evenG2532 overG1909 them that hadG264 notG3361 sinnedG264 afterG1909 the similitudeG3667 of Adam'sG76 transgressionG3847, whoG3739 isG2076 the figureG5179 of him that was to comeG3195.
Also I will makeH5414 him my firstbornH1060, higherH5945 than the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958 being temptedG3985, he is ableG1410 to succourG997 them that are temptedG3985.
ForG3754 inG1722 himG846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of the GodheadG2320 bodilyG4985.
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
InG1722 himG846 wasG2258 lifeG2222; andG2532 the lifeG2222 wasG2258 the lightG5457 of menG444.
AndG2532 the lightG5457 shinethG5316 inG1722 darknessG4653; andG2532 the darknessG4653 comprehendedG2638 itG846 notG3756. {comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive}
There wasG1096 a manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491.
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
He wasG2258 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG5457, butG235 was sent toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 that LightG5457.
That wasG2258 the trueG228 LightG5457, whichG3739 lightethG5461 every manG3956+G444 that comethG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
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.
ButG1161 as many asG3745 receivedG2983 himG846, to themG846 gave heG1325 powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 hisG846 nameG3686: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 was heG2258 of whomG3739 I spakeG2036, He that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771?
AndG2532 he confessedG3670, andG2532 deniedG720 notG3756; butG2532 confessedG3670+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 thenG3767? ArtG1488 thouG4771 EliasG2243? AndG2532 he saithG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. ArtG1488 thouG4771 that prophetG4396? AndG2532 he answeredG611, NoG3756. {that prophet: or, a prophet?}
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 unto himG846, WhoG5101 art thouG1488? thatG2443 we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to them that sentG3992 usG2248. WhatG5101 sayest thouG3004 ofG4012 thyselfG4572?
He saidG5346, IG1473 am the voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Make straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, asG2531 saidG2036 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268.
AndG2532 they whichG3588 were sentG649 wereG2258 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG5101 baptizest thouG907 thenG3767, ifG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 notG3756 that ChristG5547, norG3777 EliasG2243, neitherG3777 that prophetG4396?
JohnG2491 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204: butG1161 there standeth oneG2476 amongG3319 youG5216, whomG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756;
HeG846 it isG2076, whoG3739 comingG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450, whoseG3739+G846 shoe'sG5266 latchetG2438 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 unlooseG3089.
These thingsG5023 were doneG1096 inG1722 BethabaraG962 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG2258 baptizingG907.
The next dayG1887 JohnG2491 seethG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316, whichG3588 taketh awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889. {taketh away: or, beareth}
ThisG3778 is heG2076 ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036, AfterG3694 meG3450 comethG2064 a manG435 whichG3739 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 thatG2443 he should be made manifestG5319 to IsraelG2474, thereforeG1223+G5124 amG2064 IG1473 comeG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG5204.
AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004+G3754, I sawG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AgainG3825 the next day afterG1887 JohnG2491 stoodG2476, andG2532 twoG1417 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101;
AndG2532 looking uponG1689 JesusG2424 as he walkedG4043, he saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316!
AndG2532 the twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 himG846 speakG2980, andG2532 they followedG190 JesusG2424.
ThenG1161 JesusG2424 turnedG4762, andG2532 sawG2300 themG846 followingG190, and saithG3004 unto themG846, WhatG5101 seek yeG2212+G1161? They saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, (whichG3739 is to sayG3004, being interpretedG2059, MasterG1320,) whereG4226 dwellest thouG3306? {dwellest: or, abidest}
He saithG3004 unto themG846, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492. They cameG2064 andG2532 sawG1492 whereG4226 he dweltG3306, andG2532 abodeG3306 withG3844 himG846 thatG1565 dayG2250: forG1161 it wasG2258 aboutG5613 the tenthG1182 hourG5610. {about…: that was two hours before night}
OneG1520 ofG1537 the twoG1417 whichG3588 heardG191+G3844 JohnG2491 speak, andG2532 followedG190 himG846, wasG2258 AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter'sG4074 brotherG80.
HeG3778 firstG4413 findethG2147 his ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, We have foundG2147 the MessiasG3323, whichG3739 isG2076, being interpretedG3177, the ChristG5547. {the Christ: or, the Anointed}
AndG2532 he broughtG71 himG846 toG4314 JesusG2424. AndG1161 when JesusG2424 beheldG1689 himG846, he saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 SimonG4613 the sonG5207 of JonaG2495: thouG4771 shalt be calledG2564 CephasG2786, whichG3739 is by interpretationG2059, A stoneG4074.
The day followingG1887 JesusG2424 wouldG2309 go forthG1831 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, andG2532 findethG2147 PhilipG5376, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, FollowG190 meG3427.
NowG1161 PhilipG5376 wasG2258 ofG575 BethsaidaG966, the cityG4172 ofG1537 AndrewG406 andG2532 PeterG4074.
PhilipG5376 findethG2147 NathanaelG3482, andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, We have foundG2147 him, of whomG3739 MosesG3475 inG1722 the lawG3551, andG2532 the prophetsG4396, did writeG1125, JesusG2424 ofG575 NazarethG3478, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501.
AndG2532 NathanaelG3482 saidG2036 unto himG846, CanG1410 there anyG5100 good thingG18 comeG1511 out ofG1537 NazarethG3478? PhilipG5376 saithG3004 unto himG846, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492.
JesusG2424 sawG1492 NathanaelG3482 comingG2064 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004 ofG4012 himG846, BeholdG2396 an IsraeliteG2475 indeedG230, inG1722 whomG3739 isG2076 noG3756 guileG1388!
NathanaelG3482 saithG3004 unto himG846, WhenceG4159 knowest thouG1097 meG3165? JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeforeG4253 that PhilipG5376 calledG5455 theeG4571, when thou wastG5607 underG5259 the fig treeG4808, I sawG1492 theeG4571.
NathanaelG3482 answeredG611 andG2532 saithG3004 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, thouG4771 artG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316; thouG4771 artG1488 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, BecauseG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, I sawG1492 theeG4571 underG5270 the fig treeG4808, believest thouG4100? thou shalt seeG3700 greater thingsG3187 than theseG5130.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, HereafterG737+G575 ye shall seeG3700 heavenG3772 openG455, andG2532 the angelsG32 of GodG2316 ascendingG305 andG2532 descendingG2597 uponG1909 the SonG5207 of manG444.
GodG2316, who at sundry timesG4181 andG2532 in divers mannersG4187 spakeG2980 in time pastG3819 unto the fathersG3962 byG1722 the prophetsG4396,
HathG2980 inG1909 theseG5130 lastG2078 daysG2250 spokenG2980 unto usG2254 byG1722 his SonG5207, whomG3739 he hath appointedG5087 heirG2818 of all thingsG3956, byG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 he madeG4160 the worldsG165;
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
Being madeG1096 so muchG5118 better thanG2909 the angelsG32, asG3745 he hath by inheritance obtainedG2816 a more excellentG1313 nameG3686 thanG3844 theyG846.
ForG1063 unto whichG5101 of the angelsG32 said heG2036 at any timeG4218, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 haveG1080 IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571? AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 will beG2071 toG1519 himG846 a FatherG3962, andG2532 heG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a SonG5207?
AndG1161 againG3825, whenG3752 he bringeth inG1521 the firstbegottenG4416 intoG1519 the worldG3625, he saithG3004, AndG2532 letG4352 allG3956 the angelsG32 of GodG2316 worshipG4352 himG846. {again…: or, when he bringeth again}
AndG2532 ofG4314+G3303 the angelsG32 he saithG3004, Who makethG4160 hisG846 angelsG32 spiritsG4151, andG2532 hisG846 ministersG3011 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. {And of: Gr. And unto}
ButG1161 untoG4314 the SonG5207 he saith, ThyG4675 throneG2362, O GodG2316, is forG1519 everG165 and everG165: a sceptreG4464 of righteousnessG2118 is the sceptreG4464 of thyG4675 kingdomG932. {righteousness: Gr. rightness, or, straightness}
Thou hast lovedG25 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 hatedG3404 iniquityG458; thereforeG1223+G5124 GodG2316, even thyG4675 GodG2316, hath anointedG5548 theeG4571 with the oilG1637 of gladnessG20 aboveG3844 thyG4675 fellowsG3353.
AndG2532, ThouG4771, LordG2962, inG2596 the beginningG746 hast laid the foundationG2311 of the earthG1093; andG2532 the heavensG3772 areG1526 the worksG2041 of thineG4675 handsG5495:
TheyG846 shall perishG622; butG1161 thouG4771 remainestG1265; andG2532 they allG3956 shall wax oldG3822 asG5613 doth a garmentG2440;
AndG2532 asG5616 a vestureG4018 shalt thou foldG1667 themG846 upG1667, andG2532 they shall be changedG236: butG1161 thouG4771 artG1488 the sameG846, andG2532 thyG4675 yearsG2094 shallG1587 notG3756 failG1587.
ButG1161 toG4314 whichG5101 of the angelsG32 said heG2046 at any timeG4218, SitG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, untilG302+G2193 I makeG5087 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG5286+G4228?
Are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151, sent forthG649 toG1519 ministerG1248 forG1223 them who shallG3195 be heirs ofG2816 salvationG4991?
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
FinallyG3063, myG3450 brethrenG80, rejoiceG5463 inG1722 the LordG2962. To writeG1125 the same thingsG846 to youG5213, to meG1698 indeedG3303 is notG3756 grievousG3636, butG1161 for youG5213 it is safeG804.
BewareG991 of dogsG2965, bewareG991 of evilG2556 workersG2040, bewareG991 of the concisionG2699.
ForG1063 weG2249 areG2070 the circumcisionG4061, whichG3588 worshipG3000 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 haveG3982 noG3756 confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561.
ThoughG2539 IG1473 mightG2192 alsoG2532 haveG2192 confidenceG4006 inG1722 the fleshG4561. If anyG1536 other manG243 thinkethG1380 that he hath whereof he might trustG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561, IG1473 moreG3123:
CircumcisedG4061 the eighthG3637 day, ofG1537 the stockG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, an HebrewG1445 ofG1537 the HebrewsG1445; as touchingG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;
ConcerningG2596 zealG2205, persecutingG1377 the churchG1577; touchingG2596 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is inG1722 the lawG3551+G1096, blamelessG273.
ButG235 what thingsG3748 wereG2258 gainG2771 to meG3427, thoseG5023 I countedG2233 lossG2209 forG1223 ChristG5547.
YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1511+G1223 the excellencyG5242 of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG3450 LordG2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the lossG2210 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG1511 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547,
AndG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 himG846, notG3361 havingG2192 mine ownG1699 righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that whichG3588 is throughG1223 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316 byG1909 faithG4102:
That I may knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 the powerG1411 of hisG846 resurrectionG386, andG2532 the fellowshipG2842 of hisG846 sufferingsG3804, being made conformableG4833 unto hisG846 deathG2288;
If by any meansG1513 I might attainG2658 untoG1519 the resurrectionG1815 of the deadG3498.
NotG3756 as thoughG3754 I had alreadyG2235 attainedG2983, eitherG2228 were alreadyG2235 perfectG5048: butG1161 I follow afterG1377, ifG1499 that I may apprehendG2638 that forG1909 whichG3739 alsoG2532 I am apprehendedG2638 ofG5259 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
BrethrenG80, IG1473 countG3049 notG3756 myselfG1683 to have apprehendedG2638: butG1161 this one thingG1520 I do, forgettingG1950 those thingsG3303 which are behindG3694, andG1161 reaching forth untoG1901 those things which are beforeG1715,
I pressG1377 towardG2596 the markG4649 forG1909 the prizeG1017 of the highG507 callingG2821 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
LetG5426 us thereforeG3767, as many asG3745 be perfectG5046, beG5426 thusG5124 mindedG5426: andG2532 if in any thingG1536 ye beG5426 otherwiseG2088 mindedG5426, GodG2316 shall revealG601 evenG2532 thisG5124 unto youG5213.
NeverthelessG4133, wheretoG1519+G3739 we have already attainedG5348, let us walkG4748 by the sameG846 ruleG2583, let us mindG5426 the same thingG846.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 followers togetherG4831 of meG3450, andG2532 markG4648 them which walkG4043 soG3779 asG2531 ye haveG2192 usG2248 for an ensampleG5179.
(ForG1063 manyG4183 walkG4043, of whomG3739 I have toldG3004 youG5213 oftenG4178, andG1161 nowG3568 tellG3004 you evenG2532 weepingG2799, that they are the enemiesG2190 of the crossG4716 of ChristG5547:
WhoseG3739 endG5056 is destructionG684, whoseG3739 GodG2316 is their bellyG2836, andG2532 whose gloryG1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG152, whoG3588 mindG5426 earthly thingsG1919.)
ForG1063 ourG2257 conversationG4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772; fromG1537 whenceG3739 alsoG2532 we look forG553 the SaviourG4990, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {conversation…: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}
WhoG3739 shall changeG3345 ourG2257 vileG5014 bodyG4983, thatG1519 itG846 may beG1096 fashioned like untoG4832 hisG846 gloriousG1391 bodyG4983, according toG2596 the workingG1753 whereby heG846 is ableG1410 evenG2532 to subdueG5293 all thingsG3956 unto himselfG1438.
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
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.
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
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.
