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 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in SmyrnaG4668 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078, whichG3739 wasG1096 deadG3498, andG2532 is aliveG2198;
AndG2532 to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 PergamosG4010 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he which hathG2192 the sharpG3691 swordG4501 with two edgesG1366;
AndG2532 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whoG3588 hathG2192 hisG846 eyesG3788 likeG5613 unto a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 are likeG3664 fine brassG5474;
AndG2532 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 SardisG4554 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he that hathG2192 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, andG2532 the sevenG2033 starsG792; I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, thatG3754 thou hastG2192 a nameG3686 thatG3754 thou livestG2198, andG2532 artG1488 deadG3498.
AndG2532 to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 PhiladelphiaG5359 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he that is holyG40, he that is trueG228, he that hathG2192 the keyG2807 of DavidG1138, he that openethG455, andG2532 no manG3762 shuttethG2808; andG2532 shuttethG2808, andG2532 no manG3762 openethG455;
AndG2532 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 of the LaodiceansG2994 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the AmenG281, the faithfulG4103 andG2532 trueG228 witnessG3144, the beginningG746 of the creationG2937 of GodG2316; {of the Laodiceans: or, in Laodicea}
Take heedG3708 that ye despiseG2706 notG3361 oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398; forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 inG1722 heavenG3772 theirG846 angelsG32 do alwaysG1223+G3956 beholdG991 the faceG4383 of myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772.
And the nextH7138 unto him was CarshenaH3771, ShetharH8369, AdmathaH133, TarshishH8659, MeresH4825, MarsenaH4826, and MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, which sawH7200 the king'sH4428 faceH6440, and which satH3427 the firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438;)
All the king'sH4428 servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971 of the king'sH4428 provincesH4082, do knowH3045, that whosoever, whether manH376 or womanH802, shall comeH935 unto the kingH4428 into the innerH6442 courtH2691, who is not calledH7121, there is oneH259 lawH1881 of his to put him to deathH4191, exceptH905 such to whom the kingH4428 shall hold outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275, that he may liveH2421: but I have not been calledH7121 to come inH935 unto the kingH4428 these thirtyH7970 daysH3117.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32.
AndG2532 he hadG2192 inG1722 hisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 sevenG2033 starsG792: andG2532 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 wentG1607 a sharpG3691 twoedgedG1366 swordG4501: andG2532 hisG846 countenanceG3799 was asG5613 the sunG2246 shinethG5316 inG1722 hisG846 strengthG1411.
The mysteryG3466 of the sevenG2033 starsG792 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 inG1909 myG3450 right handG1188, andG2532 the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticksG3087. The sevenG2033 starsG792 areG1526 the angelsG32 of the sevenG2033 churchesG1577: andG2532 the sevenG2033 candlesticksG3087 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 areG1526 the sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
ButG1161 a certainG5100 manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367, withG4862 SapphiraG4551 hisG846 wifeG1135, soldG4453 a possessionG2933,
AndG2532 kept backG3557 part ofG575 the priceG5092, hisG846 wifeG1135 alsoG2532 being privyG4894 to it, andG2532 broughtG5342 a certainG5100 partG3313, and laidG5087 it atG3844 the apostles'G652 feetG4228.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, AnaniasG367, whyG1302 hath SatanG4567 filledG4137 thineG4675 heartG2588+G4571 to lieG5574 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to keep backG3557 part ofG575 the priceG5092 of the landG5564? {to lie to: or, to deceive}
Whiles it remainedG3306, was it notG3780 thine ownG4671+G3306? andG2532 after it was soldG4097, was it notG5225 inG1722 thine ownG4674 powerG1849? whyG5101+G3754 hast thou conceivedG5087 thisG5124 thingG4229 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588? thou hastG5574 notG3756 liedG5574 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG2316.
AndG1161 AnaniasG367 hearingG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056 fell downG4098, and gave up the ghostG1634: andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 onG1909 allG3956 them that heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG1161 the young menG3501 aroseG450, woundG4958 himG846 upG4958, andG2532 carried him outG1627, and buriedG2290 him.
AndG1161 it wasG1096 aboutG5613 the spaceG1292 of threeG5140 hoursG5610 afterG1292, whenG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, notG3361 knowingG1492 what was doneG1096, came inG1525.
AndG1161 PeterG4074 answeredG611 unto herG846, TellG2036 meG3427 whetherG1487 ye soldG591 the landG5564 for so muchG5118? AndG1161 she saidG2036, YeaG3483, for so muchG5118.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, HowG5101 is it thatG3754 yeG5213 have agreed togetherG4856 to temptG3985 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962? beholdG2400, the feetG4228 of them which have buriedG2290 thyG4675 husbandG435 are atG1909 the doorG2374, andG2532 shall carryG1627 theeG4571 outG1627.
ThenG1161 fell she downG4098 straightwayG3916 atG3844 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 yielded up the ghostG1634: andG1161 the young menG3495 came inG1525, and foundG2147 herG846 deadG3498, andG2532, carrying her forthG1627, buriedG2290 her byG4314 herG846 husbandG435.
AndG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 cameG1096 uponG1909 allG3650 the churchG1577, andG2532 uponG1909 as many asG3956 heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG1161 byG1223 the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 wereG1096 manyG4183 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 wroughtG1096 amongG1722 the peopleG2992; (andG2532 they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1722 Solomon'sG4672 porchG4745.
AndG1161 of the restG3062 durstG5111 no manG3762 join himselfG2853 to themG846: butG235 the peopleG2992 magnifiedG3170 themG846.
AndG1161 believersG4100 wereG4369 the moreG3123 addedG4369 to the LordG2962, multitudesG4128 bothG5037 of menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.)
InsomuchG5620 that they brought forthG1627 the sickG772 intoG2596 the streetsG4113, andG2532 laidG5087 them onG1909 bedsG2825 andG2532 couchesG2895, thatG2443 at the leastG2579 the shadowG4639 of PeterG4074 passing byG2064 might overshadowG1982 someG5100 of themG846. {into…: or, in every street}
There cameG4905 alsoG2532 a multitudeG4128 out of the citiesG4172 round aboutG4038 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, bringingG5342 sickG772 folks, andG2532 them which were vexedG3791 withG5259 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151: and theyG3748 were healedG2323 every oneG537.
ThenG1161 the high priestG749 rose upG450, andG2532 all theyG3956 that were withG4862 himG846, (whichG3588 isG5607 the sectG139 of the SadduceesG4523,) and were filledG4130 with indignationG2205, {indignation: or, envy}
AndG2532 laidG1911 theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 the apostlesG652, andG2532 putG5087 themG846 inG1722 the commonG1219 prisonG5084.
ButG1161 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 byG1223 nightG3571 openedG455 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374, andG5037 broughtG1806 themG846 forthG1806, and saidG2036,
GoG4198, standG2476 andG2532 speakG2980 inG1722 the templeG2411 to the peopleG2992 allG3956 the wordsG4487 of thisG5026 lifeG2222.
AndG1161 when they heardG191 that, they enteredG1525 intoG1519 the templeG2411 early in the morningG5259+G3722, andG2532 taughtG1321. ButG1161 the high priestG749 cameG3854, andG2532 they that were withG4862 himG846, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779, andG2532 allG3956 the senateG1087 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 the prisonG1201 to haveG71 themG846 broughtG71.
ButG1161 when the officersG5257 cameG3854, and foundG2147 themG846 notG3756 inG1722 the prisonG5438, they returnedG390, andG1161 toldG518,
SayingG3004+G3754, The prisonG1201 trulyG3303 found weG2147 shutG2808 withG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 the keepersG5441 standingG2476 withoutG1854 beforeG4253 the doorsG2374: butG1161 when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no manG3762 withinG2080.
NowG1161 whenG5613+G5037 the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG749 heardG191 theseG5128 thingsG3056, they doubtedG1280 ofG4012 themG846 whereuntoG5101+G302 thisG5124 would growG1096.
Then cameG3854 oneG5100 andG1161 toldG518 themG846, sayingG3004+G3754, BeholdG2400, the menG435 whomG3739 ye putG5087 inG1722 prisonG5438 areG1526 standingG2476 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 teachingG1321 the peopleG2992.
ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG4755 withG4862 the officersG5257, and broughtG71 themG846 withoutG3756+G3326 violenceG970: forG1063 they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992, lestG3363 they should have been stonedG3034.
AndG1161 when they had broughtG71 themG846, they setG2476 them beforeG1722 the councilG4892: andG2532 the high priestG749 askedG1905 themG846,
SayingG3004, DidG3853 notG3756 we straitlyG3852 commandG3853 youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG5127 man'sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG2036, We oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444.
The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586.
HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266.
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 hisG846 witnessesG3144 of theseG5130 thingsG4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obeyG3980 himG846.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 that, they were cutG1282 to the heart, andG2532 took counselG1011 to slayG337 themG846.
ThenG1161 stood there upG450 oneG5100 inG1722 the councilG4892, a PhariseeG5330, namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a doctor of the lawG3547, had in reputationG5093 among allG3956 the peopleG2992, and commandedG2753 to putG4160 the apostlesG652 forthG1854 aG5100 little spaceG1024;
AndG5037 saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438 whatG5101 ye intendG3195 to doG4238 as touchingG1909 theseG5125 menG444.
ForG1063 beforeG4253 theseG5130 daysG2250 rose upG450 TheudasG2333, boastingG3004 himselfG1438 to beG1511 somebodyG5100; to whomG3739 a numberG706 of menG435, aboutG5616 four hundredG5071, joined themselvesG4347: whoG3739 was slainG337; andG2532 allG3956, as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were scatteredG1262, andG2532 broughtG1096 toG1519 noughtG3762. {obeyed: or, believed}
AfterG3326 this manG5126 rose upG450 JudasG2455 of GalileeG1057 inG1722 the daysG2250 of the taxingG582, andG2532 drew awayG868 muchG2425 peopleG2992 afterG3694 himG846: he alsoG2548 perishedG622; andG2532 allG3956, even as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were dispersedG1287. {obeyed: or, believed}
AndG2532 nowG3569 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, RefrainG868 fromG575 theseG5130 menG444, andG2532 letG1439 themG846 aloneG1439: forG3754 ifG1437 thisG3778 counselG1012 orG2228 thisG5124 workG2041 beG5600 ofG1537 menG444, it will come to noughtG2647:
ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756+G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314.
AndG1161 to himG846 they agreedG3982: andG2532 when they had calledG4341 the apostlesG652, and beatenG1194 them, they commandedG3853 that they shouldG2980 notG3361 speakG2980 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424, andG2532 letG630 themG846 goG630.
AndG3767 they departedG4198+G3303 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the councilG4892, rejoicingG5463 thatG3754 they were counted worthyG2661 to suffer shameG818 forG5228 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG5037 dailyG2250+G3956 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 in everyG2596 houseG3624, they ceasedG3973 notG3756 to teachG1321 andG2532 preachG2097 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
It is reportedG191 commonlyG3654 that there is fornicationG4202 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 suchG5108 fornicationG4202 asG3748 isG3687 not so muchG3761 as namedG3687 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, thatG5620 oneG5100 should haveG2192 his father'sG3962 wifeG1135.
AndG2532 yeG5210 areG2075 puffed upG5448, andG2532 haveG3996 notG3780 ratherG3123 mournedG3996, thatG2443 he that hath doneG4160 thisG5124 deedG2041 might be taken awayG1808 fromG1537 amongG3319 youG5216.
ForG1063 IG1473 verilyG3303, asG5613 absentG548 in bodyG4983, butG1161 presentG3918 in spiritG4151, have judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, asG5613 though I were presentG3918, concerning him that hathG2716 soG3779 doneG2716 this deedG5124, {judged: or, determined}
InG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, when yeG5216 are gathered togetherG4863, andG2532 myG1699 spiritG4151, withG4862 the powerG1411 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
To deliverG3860 such an oneG5108 unto SatanG4567 forG1519 the destructionG3639 of the fleshG4561, thatG2443 the spiritG4151 may be savedG4982 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
YourG5216 gloryingG2745 is notG3756 goodG2570. Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 a littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445?
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 inG1722 an epistleG1992 notG3361 to companyG4874 with fornicatorsG4205:
YetG2532 notG3756 altogetherG3843 with the fornicatorsG4205 of thisG5127 worldG2889, orG2228 with the covetousG4123, orG2228 extortionersG727, orG2228 with idolatersG1496; forG1893 thenG686 must ye needsG3784 goG1831 out ofG1537 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 nowG3570 I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 notG3361 to keep companyG4874, ifG1437 any manG5100 that is calledG3687 a brotherG80 beG2228 a fornicatorG4205, orG2228 covetousG4123, orG2228 an idolaterG1496, orG2228 a railerG3060, orG2228 a drunkardG3183, orG2228 an extortionerG727; with such an oneG5108 no notG3366 to eatG4906.
ForG1063 whatG5101 have IG3427 to do to judgeG2919 them alsoG2532 that are withoutG1854? doG2919 notG3780 yeG5210 judgeG2919 them that are withinG2080?
ButG1161 them that are withoutG1854 GodG2316 judgethG2919. ThereforeG2532 put awayG1808 fromG1537 among yourselvesG5216 thatG846 wicked personG4190.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 I writeG1125 these thingsG5023 being absentG548, lestG3363 being presentG3918 I should useG5530 sharpnessG664, accordingG2596 to the powerG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 toG1519 destructionG2506.
Of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 AlexanderG223; whomG3739 I have deliveredG3860 unto SatanG4567, thatG2443 they may learnG3811 notG3361 to blasphemeG987.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WhatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall bindG1210 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 boundG1210 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 whatsoeverG3745+G1437 ye shall looseG3089 onG1909 earthG1093 shall beG2071 loosedG3089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG1161 fromG575 MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 toG1519 EphesusG2181, and calledG3333 the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577.
PaulG3972 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to allG3956 the saintsG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 which areG5607 atG1722 PhilippiG5375, withG4862 the bishopsG1985 andG2532 deaconsG1249:
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
You only have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127: therefore I will punishH6485 you for all your iniquitiesH5771. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
SlayH2026 utterlyH4889 oldH2205 and youngH970, both maidsH1330, and little childrenH2945, and womenH802: but come not nearH5066 any manH376 upon whom is the markH8420; and beginH2490 at my sanctuaryH4720. Then they beganH2490 at the ancientH2205 menH582 which were beforeH6440 the houseH1004. {utterly: Heb. to destruction}
ForG3754 the timeG2540 is come that judgmentG2917 must beginG756 atG575 the houseG3624 of GodG2316: andG1161 ifG1487 it firstG4412 begin atG575 usG2257, whatG5101 shall the endG5056 be of them that obey notG544 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316?
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
ForG1063 IG1473 knowG1492 thisG5124, thatG3754 afterG3326 myG3450 departingG867 shall grievousG926 wolvesG3074 enter inG1525 amongG1519 youG5209, notG3361 sparingG5339 the flockG4168.
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
ThereforeG1352 watchG1127, and rememberG3421, thatG3754 by the space of three yearsG5148 I ceasedG3973 notG3756 to warnG3560 everyG1538 oneG1520 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 withG3326 tearsG1144.
AndG2532 nowG3569, brethrenG80, I commendG3908 youG5209 to GodG2316, andG2532 to the wordG3056 of hisG846 graceG5485, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to build you upG2026, andG2532 to giveG1325 youG5213 an inheritanceG2817 amongG1722 allG3956 them which are sanctifiedG37.
Him that is weakG770 in the faithG4102 receive yeG4355, butG1161 notG3361 toG1519 doubtfulG1261 disputationsG1253. {not…: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts}
AndG2532 certain menG5100 which came downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 taughtG1321 the brethrenG80, and said,G3754 ExceptG3362 ye be circumcisedG4059 after the mannerG1485 of MosesG3475, ye cannotG3756+G1410 be savedG4982.
When thereforeG3767 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 hadG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 dissensionG4714 andG2532 disputationG4803 withG4314 themG846, they determinedG5021 that PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 certainG5100 otherG243 ofG1537 themG846, should go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 untoG4314 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 aboutG4012 thisG5127 questionG2213.
AndG3303+G3767 being brought on their wayG4311 byG5259 the churchG1577, they passed throughG1330 PheniceG5403 andG2532 SamariaG4540, declaringG1555 the conversionG1995 of the GentilesG1484: andG2532 they causedG4160 greatG3173 joyG5479 unto allG3956 the brethrenG80.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 there rose upG1817 certainG5100 ofG575 the sectG139 of the PhariseesG5330 which believedG4100, sayingG3004, ThatG3754 it was needfulG1163 to circumciseG4059 themG846, andG5037 to commandG3853 them to keepG5083 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475. {rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain}
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 when there had beenG1096 muchG4183 disputingG4803, PeterG4074 rose upG450, and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, MenG435 and brethrenG80, yeG5210 knowG1987 how thatG3754 a goodG744 whileG2250 agoG575 GodG2316 made choiceG1586 amongG1722 usG2254, that the GentilesG1484 byG1223 myG3450 mouthG4750 should hearG191 the wordG3056 of the gospelG2098, andG2532 believeG4100.
AndG2532 GodG2316, which knoweth the heartsG2589, bare themG846 witnessG3140, givingG1325 themG846 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 he did unto usG2254;
AndG2532 putG1252 noG3762 differenceG1252 betweenG3342+G5037 usG2257 andG2532 themG846, purifyingG2511 theirG846 heartsG2588 by faithG4102.
NowG3568 thereforeG3767 whyG5101 tempt yeG3985 GodG2316, to putG2007 a yokeG2218 uponG1909 the neckG5137 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 neitherG3777 ourG2257 fathersG3962 norG3777 weG2249 were ableG2480 to bearG941?
ButG235 we believeG4100 that throughG1223 the graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 we shall be savedG4982, evenG2596+G3739 asG5158 theyG2548.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
AndG1161 afterG3326 they had heldG4601 theirG846 peaceG4601, JamesG2385 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MenG435 and brethrenG80, hearkenG191 unto meG3450:
SimeonG4826 hath declaredG1834 howG2531 GodG2316 at the firstG4412 did visitG1980 the GentilesG1484, to takeG2983 out ofG1537 them a peopleG2992 forG1909 hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 to thisG5129 agreeG4856 the wordsG3056 of the prophetsG4396; asG2531 it is writtenG1125,
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I will returnG390, andG2532 will build againG456 the tabernacleG4633 of DavidG1138, whichG3588 is fallen downG4098; andG2532 I will build againG456 the ruinsG2679 thereofG846, andG2532 I will setG461 itG846 upG461:
ThatG3704+G302 the residueG2645 of menG444 might seek afterG1567 the LordG2962, andG2532 allG3956 the GentilesG1484, uponG1909 whomG3739 myG3450 nameG3686 is calledG1941+G1909+G846, saithG3004 the LordG2962, whoG3588 doethG4160 allG3956 these thingsG5023.
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
WhereforeG1352 myG1473 sentence isG2919, that we troubleG3926 notG3361 them, whichG3588 from amongG575 the GentilesG1484 are turnedG1994 toG1909 GodG2316:
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
Forasmuch asG1894 we have heardG191, thatG3754 certainG5100 which went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257 have troubledG5015 youG5209 with wordsG3056, subvertingG384 yourG5216 soulsG5590, sayingG3004, Ye must be circumcisedG4059, andG2532 keepG5083 the lawG3551: to whomG3739 we gaveG1291 noG3756 such commandmentG1291:
It seemed goodG1380 unto usG2254, being assembledG1096 with one accordG3661, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 untoG4314 youG5209 withG4862 ourG2257 belovedG27 BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972,
MenG444 that have hazardedG3860 theirG846 livesG5590 forG5228 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
We have sentG649 thereforeG3767 JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, whoG846 shallG518 alsoG2532 tellG518 you the same thingsG846 byG1223 mouthG3056. {mouth: Gr. word}
ForG1063 it seemed goodG1380 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to usG2254, to lay uponG2007 youG5213 noG3367 greaterG4119 burdenG922 thanG4133 theseG5130 necessary thingsG1876;
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
SoG3303+G3767 when they were dismissedG630, they cameG2064 toG1519 AntiochG490: andG2532 when they had gatheredG4863 the multitudeG4128 togetherG4863, they deliveredG1929 the epistleG1992:
Which whenG1161 they had readG314, they rejoicedG5463 forG1909 the consolationG3874. {consolation: or, exhortation}
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
AndG1161 after they had tarriedG4160 there a spaceG5550, they were let goG630 inG3326 peaceG1515 fromG575 the brethrenG80 untoG4314 the apostlesG652.
NotwithstandingG1161 it pleasedG1380 SilasG4609 to abideG1961 thereG847 stillG1961.
PaulG3972 alsoG1161 andG2532 BarnabasG921 continuedG1304 inG1722 AntiochG490, teachingG1321 andG2532 preachingG2097 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, withG3326 manyG4183 othersG2087 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 afterG3326 PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 BarnabasG921+G1211, Let us go againG1994 and visitG1980 ourG2257 brethrenG80 inG2596 everyG3956 cityG4172 whereG1722+G3739 we have preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, and see howG4459 they doG2192.
AndG1161 BarnabasG921 determinedG1011 to take with themG4838 JohnG2491, whose surname wasG2564 MarkG3138.
ButG1161 PaulG3972 thoughtG515 notG3361 goodG515 to takeG4838 himG5126 with themG4838, whoG3588 departedG868 fromG575 themG846 fromG575 PamphyliaG3828, andG2532 wentG4905 notG3361 with themG846 toG1519 the workG2041.
AndG3767 the contentionG3948 wasG1096 so sharpG3948 between themG846, thatG5620 they departed asunderG673 one from the otherG575+G240: and soG5037 BarnabasG921 tookG3880 MarkG3138, and sailedG1602 untoG1519 CyprusG2954;
AndG1161 PaulG3972 choseG1951 SilasG4609, and departedG1831, being recommendedG3860 byG5259 the brethrenG80 unto the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 he went throughG1330 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791, confirmingG1991 the churchesG1577.
The mysteryG3466 of the sevenG2033 starsG792 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 inG1909 myG3450 right handG1188, andG2532 the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticksG3087. The sevenG2033 starsG792 areG1526 the angelsG32 of the sevenG2033 churchesG1577: andG2532 the sevenG2033 candlesticksG3087 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 areG1526 the sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
This matterH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the watchersH5894, and the demandH7595 by the wordH3983 of the holy onesH6922: toH5705 the intentH1701 that the livingH2417 may knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634, and setteth upH6966 overH5922 it the basestH8215 of menH606.
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and thisH1932 is the decreeH1510 of the most HighH5943, which is comeH4291 uponH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
Are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151, sent forthG649 toG1519 ministerG1248 forG1223 them who shallG3195 be heirs ofG2816 salvationG4991?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which givethH5414 the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280 the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034:
Holding forthG1907 the wordG3056 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 IG1698 may rejoiceG2745 inG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 I haveG5143 notG3756 runG5143 inG1519 vainG2756, neitherG3761 labouredG2872 inG1519 vainG2756.
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
I rejoiceH7797 at thy wordH565, as one that findethH4672 greatH7227 spoilH7998.
