Unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 of EphesusG2179 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he that holdethG2902 the sevenG2033 starsG792 inG1722 hisG846 right handG1188, whoG3588 walkethG4043 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticksG3087;
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 thyG4675 labourG2873, andG2532 thyG4675 patienceG5281, andG2532 howG3754 thou canstG1410 notG3756 bearG941 them which are evilG2556: andG2532 thou hast triedG3985 them which sayG5335 they areG1511 apostlesG652, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, andG2532 hast foundG2147 themG846 liarsG5571:
AndG2532 hast borneG941, andG2532 hastG2192 patienceG5281, andG2532 forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG1223+G3686 hast labouredG2872, andG2532 hastG2577 notG3756 faintedG2577.
NeverthelessG235 I haveG2192 somewhat againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hast leftG863 thyG4675 firstG4413 loveG26.
RememberG3421 thereforeG3767 from whenceG4159 thou art fallenG1601, andG2532 repentG3340, andG2532 doG4160 the firstG4413 worksG2041; or elseG1490 I will comeG2064 unto theeG4671 quicklyG5035, andG2532 will removeG2795 thyG4675 candlestickG3087 out ofG1537 hisG846 placeG5117, exceptG3362 thou repentG3340.
ButG235 thisG5124 thou hastG2192, thatG3754 thou hatestG3404 the deedsG2041 of the NicolaitansG3531, whichG3739 I alsoG2504 hateG3404.
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577; To himG846 that overcomethG3528 will I giveG1325 to eatG5315 ofG1537 the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the paradiseG3857 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 thisG5124 continuedG1096 by the spaceG1909 of twoG1417 yearsG2094; soG5620 that allG3956 they which dwelt inG2730 AsiaG773 heardG191 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672.
AfterG1161+G5613 these thingsG5023 were endedG4137, PaulG3972 purposedG5087 inG1722 the spiritG4151, when he had passed throughG1330 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, to goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, sayingG2036, AfterG3754+G3326 IG3165 have beenG1096 thereG1563, IG3165 mustG1163 alsoG2532 seeG1492 RomeG4516.
SoG1161 he sentG649 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of them that ministeredG1247 unto himG846, TimotheusG5095 andG2532 ErastusG2037; but he himselfG846 stayedG1907 inG1519 AsiaG773 for a seasonG5550.
AndG1161+G2596 the sameG1565 timeG2540 there aroseG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 aboutG4012 that wayG3598.
ForG1063 a certainG5100 man namedG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silversmithG695, which madeG4160 silverG693 shrinesG3485 for DianaG735, broughtG3930 noG3756 smallG3641 gainG2039 unto the craftsmenG5079;
WhomG3739 he called togetherG4867 with the workmenG2040 ofG4012 like occupationG5108, andG2532 saidG2036, SirsG435, ye knowG1987 thatG3754 byG1537 thisG5026 craftG2039 we haveG2076 ourG2257 wealthG2142.
MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughout allG3956 AsiaG773, thisG3778 PaulG3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1526 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 withG1223 handsG5495:
SoG1161 that notG3756 onlyG3440 thisG5124 ourG2254 craftG3313 is in dangerG2793 to be setG2064 atG1519 noughtG557; butG235 alsoG2532 that the templeG2411 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735 should be despisedG1519+G3762+G3049, andG1161+G2532 herG846 magnificenceG3168 shouldG3195 be destroyedG2507, whomG3739 allG3650 AsiaG773 andG2532 the worldG3625 worshippethG4576. {set at nought: or, brought into disrepute, or, contempt}
AndG1161 when they heardG191 these sayings, they wereG1096 fullG4134 of wrathG2372, andG2532 cried outG2896, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180.
AndG2532 the wholeG3650 cityG4172 was filledG4130 with confusionG4799: andG5037 having caughtG4884 GaiusG1050 andG2532 AristarchusG708, men of MacedoniaG3110, Paul'sG3972 companions in travelG4898, they rushedG3729 with one accordG3661 intoG1519 the theatreG2302.
AndG1161 whenG1014 PaulG3972 wouldG1014 have enteredG1525 inG1519 unto the peopleG1218, the disciplesG3101 sufferedG1439 himG846 notG3756.
AndG1161+G2532 certainG5100 of the chief of AsiaG775, which wereG5607 hisG846 friendsG5384, sentG3992 untoG4314 himG846, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG1325 notG3361 adventureG1325 himselfG1438 intoG1519 the theatreG2302.
SomeG243 thereforeG3767+G3303 criedG2896 one thingG5100, and some anotherG243: forG1063 the assemblyG1577 wasG2258 confusedG4797; andG2532 the more partG4119 knewG1492 notG3756 whereforeG5101+G1752 they were come togetherG4905.
AndG1161 they drewG4264 AlexanderG223 out ofG1537 the multitudeG3793, the JewsG2453 puttingG4261 himG846 forwardG4261. AndG1161 AlexanderG223 beckonedG2678 with the handG5495, and wouldG2309 have made his defenceG626 unto the peopleG1218.
ButG1161 when they knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a JewG2453, allG3956+G1096 withG1537 oneG3391 voiceG5456 aboutG5613 the spaceG1909 of twoG1417 hoursG5610 cried outG2896, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180.
AndG1161 when the townclerkG1122 had appeasedG2687 the peopleG3793, he saidG5346, Ye menG435 of EphesusG2180, whatG5101+G1063 manG444 is thereG2076 thatG3739 knowethG1097 notG3756 how that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG5607 a worshipperG3511 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735, andG2532 of the image which fell down from JupiterG1356? {a worshipper: Gr. the temple keeper}
SeeingG5607 thenG3767 that these thingsG5130 cannot be spoken againstG368, yeG5209 oughtG1163+G2076 to beG5225 quietG2687, andG2532 to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashlyG4312.
ForG1063 ye have brought hitherG71 theseG5128 menG435, which are neitherG3777 robbers of churchesG2417, nor yetG3777 blasphemersG987 of yourG5216 goddessG2299.
WhereforeG3303+G3767 ifG1487 DemetriusG1216, andG2532 the craftsmenG5079 which are withG4862 himG846, haveG2192 a matterG3056 againstG4314 any manG5100, the lawG60 is openG71, andG2532 there areG1526 deputiesG446: let them impleadG1458 one anotherG240. {the law…: or, the court days are kept}
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye enquireG1934 any thingG5100 concerningG4012 other mattersG2087, it shall be determinedG1956 inG1722 a lawfulG1772 assemblyG1577. {lawful: or, ordinary}
ForG1063+G2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be called in questionG1458 forG4012 this day'sG4594 uproarG4714, there beingG5225 noG3367 causeG158 wherebyG4012+G3739 we mayG1410 giveG591 an accountG3056 of thisG5026 concourseG4963.
AndG2532 when he hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG1577.
ManyG2425 of them alsoG1161 which usedG4238 curious artsG4021 broughtG4851 their booksG976 togetherG4851, and burned themG2618 beforeG1799 allG3956 men: andG2532 they countedG4860 the priceG5092 of themG846, andG2532 foundG2147 it fiftyG4002 thousandG3461 pieces of silverG694.
SoG3779 mightilyG2596+G2904 grewG837 the wordG3056 of GodG2962 andG2532 prevailedG2480.
Unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 of EphesusG2179 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he that holdethG2902 the sevenG2033 starsG792 inG1722 hisG846 right handG1188, whoG3588 walkethG4043 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticksG3087;
AndG2532 walkG4043 inG1722 loveG26, asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257 an offeringG4376 andG2532 a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 forG1519 a sweetsmellingG2175 savourG3744.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
I am crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547: neverthelessG1161 I liveG2198; yet notG3765 IG1473, butG1161 ChristG5547 livethG2198 inG1722 meG1698: andG1161 the life whichG3739 IG2198 nowG3568 liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 byG1722 the faithG4102 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whoG3588 lovedG25 meG3165, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 meG1700.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
My sonH1121, giveH5414 me thine heartH3820, and let thine eyesH5869 observeH7521+H5341 my waysH1870.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG2258 togetherG1909+G846, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839;
AndG2532 soldG4097 their possessionsG2933 andG2532 goodsG5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 every manG5100 hadG302+G2192 needG5532.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
PraisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the churchG1577 dailyG2596+G2250 such as should be savedG4982.
AndG1161 the multitudeG4128 of them that believedG4100 wereG2258 of one heartG2588 andG2532 of oneG3391 soulG5590: neitherG2532+G3761 saidG3004 anyG1520 of them that oughtG5100 of the things which heG846 possessedG5224 wasG1511 his ownG2398; butG235 theyG846 hadG2258 all thingsG537 commonG2839.
AndG2532 with greatG3173 powerG1411 gaveG591 the apostlesG652 witnessG3142 of the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424: andG5037 greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG2258 uponG1909 themG846 allG3956.
NeitherG3761+G1063 wasG5225 there anyG5100 amongG1722 themG846 that lackedG1729: forG1063 as many asG3745 wereG5225 possessorsG2935 of landsG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 sold themG4453, and broughtG5342 the pricesG5092 of the things that were soldG4097,
AndG2532 laid them downG5087 atG3844 the apostles'G652 feetG4228: andG1161 distribution was madeG1239 unto every manG1538 accordingG2530 asG302 he hadG2192 needG5100+G5532.
SoG3779 then becauseG3754 thou artG1488 lukewarmG5513, andG2532 neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200, I willG3195 spueG1692 theeG4571 out ofG1537 myG3450 mouthG4750.
AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213, I will comeG2064 againG3825, andG2532 receiveG3880 youG5209 untoG4314 myselfG1683; thatG2443 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, there yeG5210 may beG5600 alsoG2532.
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likenedG3666 unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, and went forthG1831 to meetG529+G1519 the bridegroomG3566.
AndG1161 fiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 wiseG5429, andG2532 fiveG4002 were foolishG3474.
TheyG3748 that were foolishG3474 tookG2983 theirG846+G1438 lampsG2985, and tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 withG3326 themG1438:
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 theirG846 vesselsG30 withG3326 theirG846 lampsG2985.
WhileG1161 the bridegroomG3566 tarriedG5549, they allG3956 slumberedG3573 andG2532 sleptG2518.
AndG1161 at midnightG3319+G3571 there was a cryG2906 madeG1096, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566 comethG2064; go ye outG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846.
ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 aroseG1453, andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG846 lampsG2985.
AndG1161 the foolishG3474 saidG2036 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 usG2254 ofG1537 yourG5216 oilG1637; forG3754 ourG2257 lampsG2985 are gone outG4570. {gone out: or, going out}
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Not so; lestG3379 there beG714 notG3756 enoughG714 for usG2254 andG2532 youG5213: butG1161 go yeG4198 ratherG3123 to themG4314 that sellG4453, andG2532 buyG59 for yourselvesG1438.
AndG1161 while theyG846 wentG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 they that were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 the marriageG1062: andG2532 the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
AfterwardG1161+G5305 cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to usG2254.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG235 thisG5124 thou hastG2192, thatG3754 thou hatestG3404 the deedsG2041 of the NicolaitansG3531, whichG3739 I alsoG2504 hateG3404.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
SoG3779 hastG2192 thouG4771 alsoG2532 them that holdG2902 the doctrineG1322 of the NicolaitansG3531, which thingG3739 I hateG3404.
ButG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hastG2192 thereG1563 them that holdG2902 the doctrineG1322 of BalaamG903, whoG3739 taughtG1722+G1321 BalacG904 to castG906 a stumblingblockG4625 beforeG1799 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idolsG1494, andG2532 to commit fornicationG4203.
ButG1161 beG2564 notG3361 yeG5210 calledG2564 RabbiG4461: forG1063 oneG1520 isG2076 yourG5216 MasterG2519, even ChristG5547; andG1161 allG3956 yeG5210 areG2075 brethrenG80.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
AndG2532 fromG575 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who is the faithfulG4103 witnessG3144, and the first begottenG4416 ofG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 the princeG758 of the kingsG935 of the earthG1093. Unto him that lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 washedG3068 usG2248 fromG575 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bloodG129,
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
AndG2532 to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 PergamosG4010 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he which hathG2192 the sharpG3691 swordG4501 with two edgesG1366;
ForG3754 whatsoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 overcomethG3528 the worldG2889: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the victoryG3529 that overcomethG3528 the worldG2889, even ourG2257 faithG4102.
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:
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
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.
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
BeG1096 yeG3402 thereforeG3767 followersG3402 of GodG2316, asG5613 dearG27 childrenG5043;
AndG2532 walkG4043 inG1722 loveG26, asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257 an offeringG4376 andG2532 a sacrificeG2378 to GodG2316 forG1519 a sweetsmellingG2175 savourG3744.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
PeaceG1515 be to the brethrenG80, andG2532 loveG26 withG3326 faithG4102, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
GraceG5485 be withG3326 allG3956 them that loveG25 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 inG1722 sincerityG861. AmenG281. {in sincerity: or, with incorruption} {To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.}
