AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
LikewiseG3668, ye wivesG1135, be in subjectionG5293 to your ownG2398 husbandsG435; thatG2443, if anyG1536 obey notG544 the wordG3056, theyG2770 alsoG2532 mayG2770 withoutG427 the wordG3056 be wonG2770 byG1223 the conversationG391 of the wivesG1135;
While they beholdG2029 yourG5216 chasteG53 conversationG391 coupled withG1722 fearG5401.
WhoseG3739 adorningG2889 let itG2077 notG3756 beG2077 that outwardG1855 adorning of plaitingG1708 the hairG2359, andG2532 of wearingG4025 of goldG5553, orG2228 of putting onG1745 of apparelG2440;
ButG235 let it be the hiddenG2927 manG444 of the heartG2588, inG1722 that which is not corruptibleG862, even the ornament of a meekG4239 andG2532 quietG2272 spiritG4151, whichG3739 isG2076 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 of great priceG4185.
ForG1063 after this mannerG3779 in the old timeG4218 the holyG40 womenG1135 alsoG2532, whoG3588 trustedG1679 inG1909 GodG2316, adornedG2885 themselvesG1438, being in subjectionG5293 unto their ownG2398 husbandsG435:
Even asG5613 SarahG4564 obeyedG5219 AbrahamG11, callingG2564 himG846 lordG2962: whoseG3739 daughtersG5043 ye areG1096, as long as ye do wellG15, andG2532 areG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 with anyG3367 amazementG4423. {daughters: Gr. children}
LikewiseG3668, ye husbandsG435, dwell withG4924 them according toG2596 knowledgeG1108, givingG632 honourG5092 unto the wifeG1134, asG5613 unto the weakerG772 vesselG4632, andG2532 asG5613 being heirs togetherG4789 of the graceG5485 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 yourG5216 prayersG4335 beG1581 notG3361 hinderedG1581.
FinallyG1161+G5056, be ye allG3956 of one mindG3675, having compassion one of anotherG4835, love as brethrenG5361, be pitifulG2155, be courteousG5391: {love as: or, loving to the}
NotG3361 renderingG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556, orG2228 railingG3059 forG473 railingG3059: butG1161 contrariwiseG5121 blessingG2129; knowingG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2564 thereuntoG1519+G5124 calledG2564, thatG2443 ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2127.
ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG1492 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388:
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
ForG3754 the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are overG1909 the righteousG1342, andG2532 hisG846 earsG3775 are open untoG1519 theirG846 prayersG1162: butG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 them that doG4160 evilG2556. {against: Gr. upon}
AndG2532 whoG5101 is he that will harmG2559 youG5209, ifG1437 ye beG1096 followersG3402 of that which is goodG18?
ButG235 and ifG1499 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness' sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015;
ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG2316 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG5209 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 that is inG1722 youG5213 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: {fear: or, reverence}
HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak evilG2635 of youG5216, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG5216 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG2307 of GodG2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554.
ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG2248 to GodG2316, being put to deathG2289+G3303 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG4151:
ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438;
Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519+G3739 fewG3641, that isG5123, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG2076 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
There wasG2258 a manG444 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686+G846 NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453:
The sameG3778 cameG2064 toG4314 JesusG2424 by nightG3571, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG2064 a teacherG1320 comeG2064 fromG575 GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 canG1410 doG4160 theseG5023 miraclesG4592 thatG3739 thouG4771 doestG4160, exceptG3362 GodG2316 beG5600 withG3326 himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
That which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076 fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 spiritG4151.
MarvelG2296 notG3361 thatG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, YeG5209 mustG1163 be bornG1080 againG509. {again: or, from above}
The windG4151 blowethG4154 whereG3699 it listethG2309, andG2532 thou hearestG191 the soundG5456 thereofG846, butG235 canstG1492 notG3756 tellG1492 whenceG4159 it comethG2064, andG2532 whitherG4226 it goethG5217: soG3779 isG2076 every oneG3956 that is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151.
NicodemusG3530 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 these thingsG5023 beG1096?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 a masterG1320 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 knowestG1097 notG3756 these thingsG5023?
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, We speakG2980 thatG3754+G3739 we do knowG1492, andG2532 testifyG3140 thatG3739 we have seenG3708; andG2532 ye receiveG2983 notG3756 ourG2257 witnessG3141.
IfG1487 I have toldG2036 youG5213 earthly thingsG1919, andG2532 ye believeG4100 notG3756, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100, ifG1437 I tellG2036 youG5213 of heavenly thingsG2032?
AndG2532 no manG3762 hath ascended upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772, butG1508 he that came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, even the SonG5207 of manG444 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 asG2531 MosesG3475 lifted upG5312 the serpentG3789 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, even soG3779 mustG1163 the SonG5207 of manG444 be lifted upG5312:
ThatG3363 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3363 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 the worldG2889, thatG5620 he gaveG1325 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3361 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 sentG649 notG3756 hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889 toG2443 condemnG2919 the worldG2889; butG235 thatG2443 the worldG2889 throughG1223 himG846 might be savedG4982.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 himG846 isG2919 notG3756 condemnedG2919: butG1161 he that believethG4100 notG3361 is condemnedG2919 alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he hathG4100 notG3361 believedG4100 inG1519 the nameG3686 of the only begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 the condemnationG2920, thatG3754 lightG5457 is comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 menG444 lovedG25 darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 lightG5457, becauseG1063 theirG846 deedsG2041 wereG2258 evilG4190.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that doethG4238 evilG5337 hatethG3404 the lightG5457, neitherG2532+G3756 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, lestG3363 hisG846 deedsG2041 should be reprovedG1651. {reproved: or, discovered}
ButG1161 he that doethG4160 truthG225 comethG2064 toG4314 the lightG5457, thatG2443 hisG846 deedsG2041 may be made manifestG5319, thatG3754 they areG2076 wroughtG2038 inG1722 GodG2316.
AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 cameG2064 JesusG2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of JudaeaG2449; andG2532 thereG1563 he tarriedG1304 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 baptizedG907.
AndG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG2258 baptizingG907 inG1722 AenonG137 nearG1451 to SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there wasG2258 muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG3854, andG2532 were baptizedG907.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 wasG2258 not yetG3768 castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.
ThenG3767 there aroseG1096 a questionG2214 betweenG3326 some ofG1537 John'sG2491 disciplesG3101 and the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifyingG2512.
AndG2532 they cameG2064 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, heG3739 that wasG2258 withG3326 theeG4675 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, to whomG3739 thouG4771 barest witnessG3140, beholdG2396, the sameG3778 baptizethG907, andG2532 allG3956 men comeG2064 toG4314 himG846.
JohnG2491 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, A manG444 canG1410+G3756 receiveG2983 nothingG3762, exceptG3362 it beG5600 givenG1325 himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3772. {receive: or, take unto himself}
YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565.
He that hathG2192 the brideG3565 isG2076 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whichG3588 standethG2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137.
HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642.
He that comethG2064 from aboveG509 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956: he that isG5607 ofG1537 the earthG1093 isG2076 earthlyG1537+G1093, andG2532 speakethG2980 ofG1537 the earthG1093: he that comethG2064 fromG1537 heavenG3772 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956.
AndG2532 whatG3739 he hath seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191, thatG5124 he testifiethG3140; andG2532 no manG3762 receivethG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141.
He that hath receivedG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141 hath set to his sealG4972 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 trueG227.
ForG1063 he whomG3739 GodG2316 hath sentG649 speakethG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 givethG1325 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 measureG3358 unto him.
The FatherG3962 lovethG25 the SonG5207, andG2532 hath givenG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1722 hisG846 handG5495.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544 the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 onG1909 himG846.
PutG5279 themG846 in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, to obey magistratesG3980, to beG1511 readyG2092 toG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041,
To speak evil ofG987 no manG3367, to beG1511 no brawlersG269, but gentleG1933, shewingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444.
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 these thingsG4012+G5130 I willG1014 that thouG4571 affirm constantlyG1226, thatG2443 they which have believedG4100 in GodG2316 might be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG5023 areG2076 goodG2570 andG2532 profitableG5624 unto menG444.
ButG1161 avoidG4026 foolishG3474 questionsG2214, andG2532 genealogiesG1076, andG2532 contentionsG2054, andG2532 strivings aboutG3163 the lawG3544; forG1063 they areG1526 unprofitableG512 andG2532 vainG3152.
A manG444 that is an heretickG141 afterG3326 the firstG3391 andG2532 secondG1208 admonitionG3559 rejectG3868;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he that is suchG5108 is subvertedG1612, andG2532 sinnethG264, beingG5607 condemned of himselfG843.
WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 ArtemasG734 untoG4314 theeG4571, orG2228 TychicusG5190, be diligentG4704 to comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165 toG1519 NicopolisG3533: forG1063 I have determinedG2919 thereG1563 to winterG3914.
BringG4311 ZenasG2211 the lawyerG3544 andG2532 ApollosG625 on their journeyG4311 diligentlyG4709, thatG2443 nothingG3367 be wantingG3007 unto themG846.
AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they beG5600 notG3363 unfruitfulG175. {maintain…: or, profess honest trades}
AllG3956 that are withG3326 meG1700 saluteG782 theeG4571. GreetG782 them that loveG5368 usG2248 inG1722 the faithG4102. GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.}
ThereforeG3767 being justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102, we haveG2192 peaceG1515 withG4314 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
ByG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we haveG2192 accessG4318 by faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG5026 graceG5485 whereinG1722+G3739 we standG2476, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1909 hopeG1680 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we gloryG2744 inG1722 tribulationsG2347 alsoG2532: knowingG1492 thatG3754 tribulationG2347 workethG2716 patienceG5281;
AndG1161 patienceG5281, experienceG1382; andG1161 experienceG1382, hopeG1680:
AndG1161 hopeG1680 makethG2617 notG3756 ashamedG2617; becauseG3754 the loveG26 of GodG2316 is shed abroadG1632 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588 byG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 whichG3588 is givenG1325 unto usG2254.
ForG1063 when weG2257 wereG5607 yetG2089 without strengthG772, in dueG2596 timeG2540 ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 the ungodlyG765. {in due time: or, according to the time}
ForG1063 scarcelyG3433 forG5228 a righteous manG1342 willG599 oneG5100 dieG599: yetG1063 peradventureG5029 forG5228 a good manG18 someG5100 wouldG5111 evenG2532 dareG5111 to dieG599.
ButG1161 GodG2316 commendethG4921 hisG1438 loveG26 towardG1519 usG2248, in thatG3754, while weG2257 wereG5607 yetG2089 sinnersG268, ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 usG2257.
MuchG4183 moreG3123 thenG3767, beingG1344 nowG3568 justifiedG1344 byG1722 hisG846 bloodG129, we shall be savedG4982 fromG575 wrathG3709 throughG1223 himG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487, when we wereG5607 enemiesG2190, we were reconciledG2644 to GodG2316 byG1223 the deathG2288 of hisG846 SonG5207, muchG4183 moreG3123, being reconciledG2644, we shall be savedG4982 byG1722 hisG846 lifeG2222.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we alsoG2532 joyG2744 inG1722 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 we haveG2983 nowG3568 receivedG2983 the atonementG2643. {atonement: or, reconciliation}
WhereforeG1223+G5124, asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 manG444 sinG266 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 deathG2288 byG1223 sinG266; andG2532 soG3779 deathG2288 passedG1330 uponG1519 allG3956 menG444, forG1909 thatG3739 allG3956 have sinnedG264: {for that: or, in whom}
(ForG1063 untilG891 the lawG3551 sinG266 wasG2258 inG1722 the worldG2889: butG1161 sinG266 isG1677 notG3756 imputedG1677 when there isG5607 noG3361 lawG3551.
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.
ButG235 notG3756 asG5613 the offenceG3900, soG3779 alsoG2532 is the free giftG5486. ForG1063 ifG1487 through the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 manyG4183 be deadG599, muchG4183 moreG3123 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the giftG1431 byG1722 graceG5485, which isG3588 by oneG1520 manG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, hath aboundedG4052 untoG1519 manyG4183.
AndG2532 notG3756 asG5613 it was byG1223 oneG1520 that sinnedG264, so is the giftG1434: forG1063+G3303 the judgmentG2917 was byG1537 oneG1520 toG1519 condemnationG2631, butG1161 the free giftG5486 is ofG1537 manyG4183 offencesG3900 untoG1519 justificationG1345.
ForG1063 ifG1487 by one man'sG1520 offenceG3900 deathG2288 reignedG936 byG1223 oneG1520; muchG4183 moreG3123 they which receiveG2983 abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 andG2532 of the giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 shall reignG936 inG1722 lifeG2222 byG1223 oneG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.) {by one man's…: or, by one offence}
ThereforeG686+G3767 asG5613 byG1223 the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 judgment came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 toG1519 condemnationG2631; evenG2532 soG3779 byG1223 the righteousnessG1345 of oneG1520 the free gift came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 untoG1519 justificationG1347 of lifeG2222. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness}
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
ThatG2443 asG5618 sinG266 hath reignedG936 untoG1722 deathG2288, evenG2532 soG3779 mightG936 graceG5485 reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
ThereforeG1352 leavingG863 the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342 untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598 againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316, {principles…: or, word of the beginning of}
Of the doctrineG1322 of baptismsG909, andG5037 of laying onG1936 of handsG5495, andG5037 of resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, andG2532 of eternalG166 judgmentG2917.
AndG2532 thisG5124 will we doG4160, ifG1437+G4007 GodG2316 permitG2010.
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
AndG2532 have tastedG1089 the goodG2570 wordG4487 of GodG2316, andG5037 the powersG1411 of the worldG165 to comeG3195,
IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895, to renew themG340 againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388, andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.
ForG1063 the earthG1093 whichG3588 drinketh inG4095 the rainG5205 that comethG2064 oftG4178 uponG1909 itG846, andG2532 bringeth forthG5088 herbsG1008 meetG2111 for themG1565+G2532 byG1223 whomG3739 it is dressedG1090, receivethG3335 blessingG2129 fromG575 GodG2316: {by: or, for}
ButG1161 that which bearethG1627 thornsG173 andG2532 briersG5146 is rejectedG96, andG2532 is nighG1451 unto cursingG2671; whoseG3739 endG5056 is toG1519 be burnedG2740.
ButG1161, belovedG27, we are persuadedG3982 better thingsG2909 ofG4012 youG5216, andG2532 things that accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, thoughG1499 weG2980 thusG3779 speakG2980.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192 swearG3660 byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660 byG2596 himselfG1438,
SayingG3004, SurelyG2229+G3375 blessingG2127 I will blessG2127 theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129 I will multiplyG4129 theeG4571.
AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.
WhereinG1722+G3739 GodG2316, willingG1014 more abundantlyG4054 to shewG1925 unto the heirsG2818 of promiseG1860 the immutabilityG276 of hisG846 counselG1012, confirmedG3315 it by an oathG3727: {confirmed…: Gr. interposed himself by}
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
WhitherG3699 the forerunnerG4274 isG1525 forG5228 usG2257 enteredG1525, even JesusG2424, madeG1096 an high priestG749 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ThereforeG1352 leavingG863 the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342 untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598 againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316, {principles…: or, word of the beginning of}

AndG2532 thisG5124 will we doG4160, ifG1437+G4007 GodG2316 permitG2010.
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,

AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.
ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660 byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.

There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band,
A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwayG1275.
He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883.
AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568 sendG3992 menG435 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call forG3343 one SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074:
HeG3778 lodgethG3579 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038, whoseG3739 houseG3614 isG2076 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: heG3778 shall tellG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 oughtestG1163 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 unto CorneliusG2883 was departedG565, he calledG5455 twoG1417 of hisG846 household servantsG3610, andG2532 a devoutG2152 soldierG4757 of them that waited onG4342 himG846 continuallyG4342;
AndG2532 when he had declaredG1834 all these thingsG537 unto themG846, he sentG649 themG846 toG1519 JoppaG2445.
On the morrowG1887, as theyG1565 went on their journeyG3596, andG2532 drew nighG1448 unto the cityG4172, PeterG4074 went upG305 uponG1909 the housetopG1430 to prayG4336 aboutG4012 the sixthG1623 hourG5610:
AndG1161 he becameG1096 very hungryG4361, andG2532 wouldG2309 have eatenG1089: butG1161 while theyG1565 made readyG3903, heG846 fellG1968 intoG1909 a tranceG1611,
AndG2532 sawG2334 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 a certainG5100 vesselG4632 descendingG2597 untoG1909 himG846, asG5613 it had been a greatG3173 sheetG3607 knitG1210 at the fourG5064 cornersG746, andG2532 let downG2524 toG1909 the earthG1093:
WhereinG1722+G3739 wereG5225 all mannerG3956 of fourfooted beastsG5074 of the earthG1093, andG2532 wild beastsG2342, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062, andG2532 fowlsG4071 of the airG3772.
AndG2532 there cameG1096 a voiceG5456 toG4314 himG846, RiseG450, PeterG4074; killG2380, andG2532 eatG5315.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, Not soG3365, LordG2962; forG3754 I haveG5315 neverG3763 eatenG5315 any thingG3956 that is commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
AndG2532 the voiceG5456 spake untoG4314 himG846 againG3825+G1537 the second timeG1208, WhatG3739 GodG2316 hath cleansedG2511, that callG2840 notG3361 thouG4771 commonG2840.
ThisG5124 was doneG1096 thriceG1909+G5151: andG2532 the vesselG4632 was received upG353 againG3825 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 whileG5613 PeterG4074 doubtedG1280 inG1722 himselfG1438 whatG5101 this visionG3705 whichG3739 he had seenG1492 should meanG302+G1498, beholdG2400+G2532, the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 fromG575 CorneliusG2883 had made enquiryG1331 for Simon'sG4613 houseG3614, and stoodG2186 beforeG1909 the gateG4440,
AndG2532 calledG5455, and askedG4441 whetherG1487 SimonG4613, whichG3588 was surnamedG1941 PeterG4074, were lodgedG3579 thereG1759.
WhileG1161 PeterG4074 thoughtG1760 onG4012 the visionG3705, the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto himG846, BeholdG2400, threeG5140 menG435 seekG2212 theeG4571.
AriseG450 thereforeG235, and get thee downG2597, andG2532 goG4198 withG4862 themG846, doubtingG1252 nothingG3367: forG1360 IG1473 have sentG649 themG846.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 went downG2597 toG4314 the menG435 whichG3588 were sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 fromG575 CorneliusG2883; and saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 amG1510 he whomG3739 ye seekG2212: whatG5101 is the causeG156 whereforeG1223+G3739 ye are comeG3918?
AndG1161 they saidG2036, CorneliusG2883 the centurionG1543, a justG1342 manG435, andG2532 one that fearethG5399 GodG2316, andG5037 of good reportG3140 amongG5259 allG3650 the nationG1484 of the JewsG2453, was warned from GodG5537 byG5259 an holyG40 angelG32 to sendG3343 for theeG4571 intoG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, andG2532 to hearG191 wordsG4487 ofG3844 theeG4675.
ThenG3767 called heG1528 themG846 inG1528, and lodgedG3579 them. AndG1161 on the morrowG1887 PeterG4074 went awayG1831 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 fromG575 JoppaG2445 accompaniedG4905 himG846.
AndG2532 the morrowG1887 after they enteredG1525 intoG1519 CaesareaG2542. AndG1161 CorneliusG2883 waited forG4328 themG846+G2258, and had called togetherG4779 hisG846 kinsmenG4773 andG2532 nearG316 friendsG5384.
AndG1161 asG5613 PeterG4074 wasG1096 coming inG1525, CorneliusG2883 metG4876 himG846, and fell downG4098 atG1909 his feetG4228, and worshippedG4352 him.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 tookG1453 himG846 upG1453, sayingG3004, Stand upG450; IG2504 myselfG846 alsoG2504 amG1510 a manG444.
AndG2532 as he talkedG4926 with himG846, he went inG1525, andG2532 foundG2147 manyG4183 that were come togetherG4905.
AndG5037 he saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, YeG5210 knowG1987 howG5613 that it isG2076 an unlawful thingG111 for a manG435 that is a JewG2453 to keep companyG2853, orG2228 come untoG4334 one of another nationG246; butG2532 GodG2316 hath shewedG1166 meG1698 that I should notG3367 callG3004 anyG3367 manG444 commonG2839 orG2228 uncleanG169.
ThereforeG1352+G2532 came IG2064 unto you without gainsayingG369, as soon as I was sent forG3343: I askG4441 thereforeG3767 for whatG5101 intentG3056 ye have sent forG3343 meG3165?
AndG2532 CorneliusG2883 saidG5346, FourG5067 daysG2250 agoG575 I wasG2252 fastingG3522 untilG3360 thisG5026 hourG5610; andG2532 at the ninthG1766 hourG5610 I prayedG4336 inG1722 myG3450 houseG3624, andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 meG3450 inG1722 brightG2986 clothingG2066,
AndG2532 saidG5346, CorneliusG2883, thyG4675 prayerG4335 is heardG1522, andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are had in remembranceG3415 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
SendG3992 thereforeG3767 toG1519 JoppaG2445, andG2532 call hitherG3333 SimonG4613, whoseG3739 surname isG1941 PeterG4074; heG3778 is lodgedG3579 inG1722 the houseG3614 of one SimonG4613 a tannerG1038 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: whoG3739, when he comethG3854, shall speakG2980 unto theeG4671.
ImmediatelyG1824 thereforeG3767 I sentG3992 toG4314 theeG4571; andG5037 thouG4771 hast wellG2573 doneG4160 that thou art comeG3854. NowG3568 thereforeG3767 areG3918 weG2249 allG3956 here presentG3918 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to hearG191 all thingsG3956 that are commandedG4367 theeG4671 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 openedG455 his mouthG4750, and saidG2036, OfG1909 a truthG225 I perceiveG2638 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 noG3756 respecter of personsG4381:
ButG235 inG1722 everyG3956 nationG1484 he that fearethG5399 himG846, andG2532 workethG2038 righteousnessG1343, isG2076 acceptedG1184 with himG846.
The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
That wordG4487, I say, yeG5210 knowG1492, which was publishedG1096 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449, and beganG756 fromG575 GalileeG1056, afterG3326 the baptismG908 whichG3739 JohnG2491 preachedG2784;
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 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG2316, even to usG2254, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 he commandedG3853 usG2254 to preachG2784 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to testifyG1263 thatG3754 it isG2076 heG846 whichG3588 was ordainedG3724 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be the JudgeG2923 of quickG2198 andG2532 deadG3498.
To himG5129 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266.
While PeterG4074 yetG2089 spakeG2980 theseG5023 wordsG4487, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 fellG1968 onG1909 allG3956 them which heardG191 the wordG3056.
AndG2532 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 which believedG4103 were astonishedG1839, as many asG3745 came withG4905 PeterG4074, becauseG3754 that onG1909 the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532 was poured outG1632 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 they heardG191 themG846 speak withG2980 tonguesG1100, andG2532 magnifyG3170 GodG2316. ThenG5119 answeredG611 PeterG4074,
CanG3385+G1410 any manG5100 forbidG2967 waterG5204, that theseG5128 shouldG907 notG3361 be baptizedG907, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 asG2532 well asG2531 weG2249?
AndG5037 he commandedG4367 themG846 to be baptizedG907 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. ThenG5119 prayed theyG2065 himG846 to tarryG1961 certainG5100 daysG2250.
ButG1161 IG1473 have prayedG1189 forG4012 theeG4675, thatG3363 thyG4675 faithG4102 failG1587 notG3363: andG2532 whenG4218 thouG4771 art convertedG1994, strengthenG4741 thyG4675 brethrenG80.
ForG1063 thereforeG1519+G5124 weG2872 bothG2532 labourG2872 andG2532 suffer reproachG3679, becauseG3754 we trustG1679 inG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 isG2076 the SaviourG4990 of allG3956 menG444, speciallyG3122 of those that believeG4103.
PraisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the churchG1577 dailyG2596+G2250 such as should be savedG4982.
After thatG1899, he was seenG3700 of aboveG1883 five hundredG4001 brethrenG80 at onceG2178; ofG1537 whomG3739 the greater partG4119 remainG3306 untoG2193 this presentG737, butG1161 someG5100+G2532 are fallen asleepG2837.
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
The thiefG2812 comethG2064 notG3756, butG1508 for toG2443 stealG2813, andG2532 to killG2380, andG2532 to destroyG622: IG1473 am comeG2064 thatG2443 they might haveG2192 lifeG2222, andG2532 that they might haveG2192 it more abundantlyG4053.
