ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
NowG1161 concerningG4012 spiritualG4152 gifts, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 ignorantG50.
Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG2258 GentilesG1484, carried awayG520 untoG4314 these dumbG880 idolsG1497, even asG5613+G302 ye were ledG71.
WhereforeG1352 I giveG1107 youG5213 to understandG1107, thatG3754 no manG3762 speakingG2980 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 callethG3004 JesusG2424 accursedG331: andG2532 that no manG3762 canG1410 sayG2036 that JesusG2424 is the LordG2962, butG1508 byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {accursed: or, anathema}
NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
ForG1063 the bodyG4983 isG2076 notG3756 oneG1520 memberG3196, butG235 manyG4183.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
AndG2532 ifG1437 the earG3775 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the eyeG3788, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they wereG2258 allG3956 oneG1520 memberG3196, whereG4226 were the bodyG4983?
ButG1161 nowG3568+G3303 are they manyG4183 membersG3196, yet butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.
AndG1161 the eyeG3788 cannotG3756+G1410 sayG2036 unto the handG5495, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of theeG4675: norG2228 againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of youG5216.
NayG235, muchG4183 moreG3123 those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983, which seemG1380 to beG5225 more feebleG772, areG2076 necessaryG316:
AndG2532 thoseG3739 members of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1511 less honourableG820, upon theseG5125 we bestowG4060 more abundantG4055 honourG5092; andG2532 ourG2257 uncomelyG809 parts haveG2192 more abundantG4055 comelinessG2157. {bestow: or, put on}
ForG1161 ourG2257 comelyG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532: butG235 GodG2316 hath temperedG4786 the bodyG4983 togetherG4786, having givenG1325 more abundantG4055 honourG5092 to that part which lackedG5302:
ThatG3363 there should beG5600 noG3363 schismG4978 inG1722 the bodyG4983; butG235 that the membersG3196 should haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 one forG5228 anotherG240. {schism: or, division}
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
NowG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, andG2532 membersG3196 inG1537 particularG3313.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Are allG3361+G3956 apostlesG652? are allG3361+G3956 prophetsG4396? are allG3361+G3956 teachersG1320? are allG3361+G3956 workers of miraclesG1411? {workers…: or, powers?}
HaveG3361+G2192 allG3956 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386? do allG3956 speakG3361+G2980 with tonguesG1100? doG3361 allG3956 interpretG1329?
ButG1161 covet earnestlyG2206 the bestG2909 giftsG5486: andG2532 yetG2089 shew IG1166 unto youG5213 a moreG2596 excellentG5236 wayG3598.
And I will dwellH7931 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and will be their GodH430.
And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, that brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that I may dwellH7931 amongH8432 them: I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodyG4983 isG2076 the templeG3485 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 which is inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 ye haveG2192 ofG575 GodG2316, andG2532 ye areG2075 notG3756 your ownG1438?
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 ye areG2075 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellethG3611 inG1722 youG5213?
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.
This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
HoldingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247, beingG5607 found blamelessG410.
Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077 the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291 their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573.
ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247 wellG2573 purchaseG4046 to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. {used…: or, ministered}
These thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto theeG4671, hopingG1679 to comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032:
ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019, thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492 howG4459 thou oughtestG1163 to behave thyselfG390 inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076 the churchG1577 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. {ground: or, stay}
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG3767 laying asideG659 allG3956 maliceG2549, andG2532 allG3956 guileG1388, andG2532 hypocrisiesG5272, andG2532 enviesG5355, andG2532 allG3956 evil speakingsG2636,
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
If so beG1512 ye have tastedG1089 thatG3754 the LordG2962 is graciousG5543.
ToG4314 whomG3739 comingG4334, as unto a livingG2198 stoneG3037, disallowedG593 indeedG3303 ofG5259 menG444, butG1161 chosenG1588 ofG3844 GodG2316, and preciousG1784,
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
WhereforeG1352 alsoG2532 it is containedG4023 inG1722 the scriptureG1124, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a chief cornerG204 stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784: andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 not beG3364 confoundedG2617.
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
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}
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstain fromG567 fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590;
HavingG2192 yourG5216 conversationG391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak againstG2635 youG5216 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. {whereas: or, wherein}
Submit yourselvesG5293 to everyG3956 ordinanceG2937 of manG442 forG1223 the Lord's sakeG2962: whether it beG1535 to the kingG935, asG5613 supremeG5242;
OrG1535 unto governorsG2232, asG5613 unto them that are sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 forG1519+G3303 the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555, andG1161 for the praiseG1868 of them that do wellG17.
ForG3754 soG3779 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444:
AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. {using: Gr. having}
HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonourG5091 the kingG935. {Honour all: or, Esteem all}
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
ForG1063 thisG5124 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. {thankworthy: or, thank}
ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG5124 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. {acceptable: or, thank}
ForG1063 evenG1519 hereuntoG5124 were ye calledG2564: becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 forG5228 usG2257, leavingG5277 usG2254 an exampleG5261, thatG2443 ye should followG1872 hisG846 stepsG2487: {for us: some read, for you}
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
These wordsG5023 spakeG2980 JesusG2424, andG2532 lifted upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788 toG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 saidG2036, FatherG3962, the hourG5610 is comeG2064; glorifyG1392 thyG4675 SonG5207, thatG2443 thyG4675 SonG5207 alsoG2532 may glorifyG1392 theeG4571:
AsG2531 thou hast givenG1325 himG846 powerG1849 over allG3956 fleshG4561, thatG2443 he should giveG1325 eternalG166 lifeG2222 toG3739 as many asG3956+G846 thou hast givenG1325 himG846.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 lifeG2222 eternalG166, thatG2443 they might knowG1097 theeG4571 the onlyG3441 trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whomG3739 thou hast sentG649.
IG1473 have glorifiedG1392 theeG4571 onG1909 the earthG1093: I have finishedG5048 the workG2041 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 toG2443 doG4160.
AndG2532 nowG3568, O FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thouG4771 meG3165 withG3844 thine own selfG4572 with the gloryG1391 whichG3739 I hadG2192 withG3844 theeG4671 beforeG4253 the worldG2889 wasG1511.
I have manifestedG5319 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto the menG444 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 out ofG1537 the worldG2889: thineG4674 they wereG2258, andG2532 thou gavestG1325 themG846 meG1698; andG2532 they have keptG5083 thyG4675 wordG3056.
NowG3568 they have knownG1097 thatG3754 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427 areG2076 ofG3844 theeG4675.
ForG3754 I have givenG1325 unto themG846 the wordsG4487 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427; andG2532 theyG846 have receivedG2983 them, andG2532 have knownG1097 surelyG230 thatG3754 I came outG1831 fromG3844 theeG4675, andG2532 they have believedG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 didst sendG649 meG3165.
IG1473 prayG2065 forG4012 themG846: I prayG2065 notG3756 forG4012 the worldG2889, butG235 forG4012 them whichG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427; forG3754 they areG1526 thineG4674.
AndG2532 allG3956 mineG1699 areG2076 thineG4674, andG2532 thineG4674 are mineG1699; andG2532 I am glorifiedG1392 inG1722 themG846.
AndG2532 nowG3765 I amG1510 no moreG3765 inG1722 the worldG2889, butG2532 theseG3778 areG1526 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 IG1473 comeG2064 toG4314 theeG4571. HolyG40 FatherG3962, keepG5083 throughG1722 thine ownG4675 nameG3686 thoseG846 whomG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427, thatG2443 they may beG5600 oneG1520, asG2531 weG2249 are.
WhileG3753 I wasG2252 withG3326 themG846 inG1722 the worldG2889, IG1473 keptG5083 themG846 inG1722 thyG4675 nameG3686: those thatG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 I have keptG5442, andG2532 noneG3762 ofG1537 themG846 is lostG622, butG1508 the sonG5207 of perditionG684; thatG2443 the scriptureG1124 might be fulfilledG4137.
AndG1161 nowG3568 come IG2064 toG4314 theeG4571; andG2532 these thingsG5023 I speakG2980 inG1722 the worldG2889, thatG2443 they might haveG2192 myG1699 joyG5479 fulfilledG4137 inG1722 themselvesG846.
IG1473 have givenG1325 themG846 thyG4675 wordG3056; andG2532 the worldG2889 hath hatedG3404 themG846, becauseG3754 they areG1526 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG2889, even asG2531 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
I prayG2065 notG3756 thatG2443 thou shouldest takeG142 themG846 out ofG1537 the worldG2889, butG235 thatG2443 thou shouldest keepG5083 themG846 fromG1537 the evilG4190.
They areG1526 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG2889, even asG2531 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
SanctifyG37 themG846 throughG1722 thyG4675 truthG225: thyG4674 wordG3056 isG2076 truthG225.
AsG2531 thou hast sentG649 meG1691 intoG1519 the worldG2889, even soG2504 haveG649 I alsoG2504 sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 forG5228 theirG846 sakesG5228 IG1473 sanctifyG37 myselfG1683, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 mightG5600 be sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 the truthG225. {sanctified…: or, truly sanctified}
NeitherG1161+G3756 pray IG2065 forG4012 theseG5130 aloneG3440, butG235 forG4012 them alsoG2532 which shall believeG4100 onG1519 meG1691 throughG1223 theirG846 wordG3056;
ThatG2443 they allG3956 may beG5600 oneG1520; asG2531 thouG4771, FatherG3962, art inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 theeG4671, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 may beG5600 oneG1520 inG1722 usG2254: thatG2443 the worldG2889 may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 the gloryG1391 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 IG1473 have givenG1325 themG846; thatG2443 they may beG5600 oneG1520, even asG2531 weG2249 areG2070 oneG1520:
IG1473 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 thouG4771 inG1722 meG1698, thatG2443 they may beG5600 made perfectG5048 inG1519 oneG1520; andG2532 thatG2443 the worldG2889 may knowG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165, andG2532 hast lovedG25 themG846, asG2531 thou hast lovedG25 meG1691.
FatherG3962, I willG2309 thatG2443 they alsoG2548, whomG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427, beG5600 withG3326 meG1700 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510; thatG2443 they may beholdG2334 myG1699 gloryG1391, whichG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427: forG3754 thou lovedstG25 meG3165 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
O righteousG1342 FatherG3962, the worldG2889 hathG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 theeG4571: butG1161 IG1473 have knownG1097 theeG4571, andG2532 theseG3778 have knownG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 I have declaredG1107 unto themG846 thyG4675 nameG3686, andG2532 will declareG1107 it: thatG2443 the loveG26 wherewithG3739 thou hast lovedG25 meG3165 may beG5600 inG1722 themG846, and IG2504 inG1722 themG846.
AndG2532 whenG1722 the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005 was fully comeG4845, they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1909 one placeG846.
AndG2532 suddenlyG869 there cameG1096 a soundG2279 fromG1537 heavenG3772 asG5618 of a rushingG5342 mightyG972 windG4157, andG2532 it filledG4137 allG3650 the houseG3624 whereG3757 they wereG2258 sittingG2521.
AndG2532 there appearedG3700 unto themG846 clovenG1266 tonguesG1100 like asG5616 of fireG4442, andG5037 it satG2523 uponG1909 eachG1538+G1520 of themG846.
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 when thisG5026 wasG1096 noised abroadG5456, the multitudeG4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, becauseG3754 that everyG1538 manG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. {was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind}
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 one to anotherG4314+G240, BeholdG2400, areG1526 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whichG3588 speakG2980 GalilaeansG1057?
AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG2249 everyG1538 man in ourG2257 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG1722+G3739 we were bornG1080?
ParthiansG3934, andG2532 MedesG3370, andG2532 ElamitesG1639, andG2532 the dwellersG2730 in MesopotamiaG3318, andG5037 in JudaeaG2449, andG2532 CappadociaG2587, in PontusG4195, andG2532 AsiaG773,
PhrygiaG5435, andG5037+G2532 PamphyliaG3828, in EgyptG125, andG2532 in the partsG3313 of LibyaG3033 aboutG2596 CyreneG2957, andG2532 strangersG1927 of RomeG4514+G5037, JewsG2453 andG5037+G2532 proselytesG4339,
CretesG2912 andG2532 ArabiansG690, we do hearG191 themG846 speakG2980 in ourG2251 tonguesG1100 the wonderful worksG3167 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839, andG2532 were in doubtG1280, sayingG3004 oneG243 toG4314 anotherG243, WhatG5101 meanethG2309+G302+G1511 thisG5124?
OthersG2087 mockingG5512 saidG3004+G3754, These men areG1526 fullG3325 of new wineG1098.
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudaeaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG2077 thisG5124 knownG1110 unto youG5213, andG2532 hearkenG1801 to myG3450 wordsG4487:
ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG5210 supposeG5274, seeingG1063 it isG2076 but the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:
The sunG2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, beforeG2228+G4250 that greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that whosoeverG3739+G3956+G302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG2588, andG5037 saidG2036 untoG4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG5216 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860 isG2076 unto youG5213, andG2532 to yourG5216 childrenG5043, andG2532 to allG3956 that are afar offG1519+G3112, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316 shall callG302+G4341.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
ThenG3303+G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
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 as theyG846 spakeG2980 untoG4314 the peopleG2992, the priestsG2409, andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411, andG2532 the SadduceesG4523, came uponG2186 themG846, {captain: or, ruler}
Being grievedG1278 thatG1223 theyG846 taughtG1321 the peopleG2992, andG2532 preachedG2605 throughG1722 JesusG2424 the resurrectionG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
AndG2532 they laidG1911 handsG5495 on themG846, andG2532 putG5087 them inG1519 holdG5084 untoG1519 the next dayG839: forG1063 it wasG2258 nowG2235 eventideG2073.
HowbeitG1161 manyG4183 of them which heardG191 the wordG3056 believedG4100; andG2532 the numberG706 of the menG435 wasG1096 aboutG5616 fiveG4002 thousandG5505.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 onG1909 the morrowG839, that theirG846 rulersG758, andG2532 eldersG4245, andG2532 scribesG1122,
AndG2532 AnnasG452 the high priestG749, andG2532 CaiaphasG2533, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 AlexanderG223, andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ofG1537 the kindredG1085 of the high priestG748, were gathered togetherG4863 atG1519 JerusalemG2419.
AndG2532 when they had setG2476 themG846 inG1722 the midstG3319, they askedG4441, ByG1722 whatG4169 powerG1411, orG2228 byG1722 whatG4169 nameG3686, haveG4160 yeG5210 doneG4160 thisG5124?
ThenG5119 PeterG4074, filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye rulersG758 of the peopleG2992, andG2532 eldersG4245 of IsraelG2474,
IfG1487 weG2249 this dayG4594 be examinedG350 ofG1909 the good deed doneG2108 to the impotentG772 manG444, byG1722 what meansG5101 heG3778 is made wholeG4982;
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 allG3956, andG2532 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, thatG3754 byG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 yeG5210 crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 GodG2316 raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even byG1722 himG5129 dothG3936 this manG3778 stand hereG3936 beforeG1799 youG5216 wholeG5199.
ThisG3778 isG2076 the stoneG3037 whichG3588 was set at noughtG1848 ofG5259 youG5216 buildersG3618, whichG3588 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 ofG1519 the cornerG1137.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 salvationG4991 inG1722 anyG3762 otherG243: forG1063 there isG2076 noneG3777 otherG2087 nameG3686 underG5259 heavenG3772 givenG1325 amongG1722 menG444, wherebyG1722+G3739 weG2248 mustG1163 be savedG4982.
NowG1161 when they sawG2334 the boldnessG3954 of PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 perceivedG2638 thatG3754 they wereG1526 unlearnedG62 andG2532 ignorantG2399 menG444, they marvelledG2296; andG5037 they took knowledgeG1921 of themG846, thatG3754 they had beenG2258 withG4862 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 beholdingG991 the manG444 which was healedG2323 standingG2476 withG4862 themG846, they couldG2192 sayG471 nothingG3762 against itG471.
ButG1161 when they had commandedG2753 themG846 to go asideG565 out ofG1854 the councilG4892, they conferredG4820 amongG4314 themselvesG240,
SayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 to theseG5125 menG444? forG1063 thatG3754 indeedG3303 a notableG1110 miracleG4592 hath been doneG1096 byG1223 themG846 is manifestG5318 to all themG3956 that dwellG2730 in JerusalemG2419; andG2532 we cannotG3756+G1410 denyG720 it.
ButG235 thatG3363 it spreadG1268 noG3363 furtherG1909+G4119 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let us straitlyG547 threatenG546 themG846, that they speakG2980 henceforthG3371 to noG3367 manG444 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686.
AndG2532 they calledG2564 themG846, and commandedG3853 themG846 notG3361 to speakG5350 at allG2527 norG3366 teachG1321 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, WhetherG1487 it beG2076 rightG1342 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 to hearkenG191 unto youG5216 more thanG3123+G2228 unto GodG2316, judge yeG2919.
ForG1063 weG2249 cannotG3756+G1410 butG3361 speakG2980 the things whichG3739 we have seenG1492 andG2532 heardG191.
SoG1161 when they had further threatened themG4324, they letG630 themG846 goG630, findingG2147 nothingG3367 howG4459 they might punishG2849 themG846, becauseG1223 of the peopleG2992: forG3754 allG3956 men glorifiedG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 that which was doneG1096.
ForG1063 the manG444 wasG2258 aboveG4119 fortyG5062 years oldG2094, onG1909 whomG3739 thisG5124 miracleG4592 of healingG2392 was shewedG1096.
AndG1161 being let goG630, they wentG2064 toG4314 their own companyG2398, andG2532 reportedG518 allG3745 that the chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 had saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846.
AndG1161 when they heard thatG191, they lifted upG142 their voiceG5456 toG4314 GodG2316 with one accordG3661, andG2532 saidG2036, LordG1203, thouG4771 art GodG2316, whichG3588 hast madeG4160 heavenG3772, andG2532 earthG1093, andG2532 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that inG1722 them isG846:
WhoG3588 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of thyG4675 servantG3816 DavidG1138 hast saidG2036, WhyG2444 didG5433 the heathenG1484 rageG5433, andG2532 the peopleG2992 imagineG3191 vain thingsG2756?
The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 stood upG3936, andG2532 the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909+G846 againstG2596 the LordG2962, andG2532 againstG2596 hisG846 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 ofG1909 a truthG225 againstG1909 thyG4675 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 thou hast anointedG5548, bothG5037 HerodG2264, andG2532 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, withG4862 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, were gathered togetherG4863,
For to doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 thyG4675 handG5495 andG2532 thyG4675 counselG1012 determined beforeG4309 to be doneG1096.
AndG2532 nowG3569, LordG2962, beholdG1896+G1909 theirG846 threateningsG547: andG2532 grant untoG1325 thyG4675 servantsG1401, that withG3326 allG3956 boldnessG3954 they may speakG2980 thyG4675 wordG3056,
ByG1722+G4571 stretching forthG1614 thineG4675 handG5495 toG1519 healG2392; andG2532 that signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 may be doneG1096 byG1223 the nameG3686 of thyG4675 holyG40 childG3816 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 when theyG846 had prayedG1189, the placeG5117 was shakenG4531 whereG1722+G3739 they wereG2258 assembled togetherG4863; andG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 they spakeG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 withG3326 boldnessG3954.
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.
AndG1161 JosesG2500, whoG3588 byG5259 the apostlesG652 was surnamedG1941 BarnabasG921, (whichG3739 isG2076, being interpretedG3177, The sonG5207 of consolationG3874,) a LeviteG3019, and of the countryG1085 of CyprusG2953,
HavingG5225+G846 landG68, soldG4453 it, and broughtG5342 the moneyG5536, andG2532 laidG5087 it atG3844 the apostles'G652 feetG4228.
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.
Even the mysteryG3466 whichG3588 hath been hidG613 fromG575 agesG165 andG2532 fromG575 generationsG1074, butG1161 nowG3570 is made manifestG5319 to hisG846 saintsG40:
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
NowG1161 concerningG4012 spiritualG4152 gifts, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 ignorantG50.
Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG2258 GentilesG1484, carried awayG520 untoG4314 these dumbG880 idolsG1497, even asG5613+G302 ye were ledG71.
WhereforeG1352 I giveG1107 youG5213 to understandG1107, thatG3754 no manG3762 speakingG2980 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 callethG3004 JesusG2424 accursedG331: andG2532 that no manG3762 canG1410 sayG2036 that JesusG2424 is the LordG2962, butG1508 byG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {accursed: or, anathema}
NowG1161 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of giftsG5486, butG1161 the sameG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 there areG1526 differencesG1243 of administrationsG1248, butG2532 the sameG846 LordG2962. {administrations: or, ministries}
AndG2532 there areG1526 diversitiesG1243 of operationsG1755, butG1161 it isG2076 the sameG846 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
ButG1161 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 to every manG1538 toG4314 profit withalG4851.
ForG1063 to oneG3739+G3303 is givenG1325 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 the wordG3056 of wisdomG4678+G1161; to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151+G1161; to anotherG243 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 the sameG846 SpiritG4151;
To anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411+G1161; to anotherG243 prophecyG4394+G1161; to anotherG243 discerningG1253 of spiritsG4151+G1161; to anotherG2087 divers kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100+G1161; to anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100:
ButG1161 allG3956 theseG5023 workethG1754 that oneG1520 andG2532 the selfsameG846 SpiritG4151, dividingG1244 to every manG1538 severallyG2398 asG2531 he willG1014.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
ForG1063 the bodyG4983 isG2076 notG3756 oneG1520 memberG3196, butG235 manyG4183.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
AndG2532 ifG1437 the earG3775 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the eyeG3788, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they wereG2258 allG3956 oneG1520 memberG3196, whereG4226 were the bodyG4983?
ButG1161 nowG3568+G3303 are they manyG4183 membersG3196, yet butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.
AndG1161 the eyeG3788 cannotG3756+G1410 sayG2036 unto the handG5495, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of theeG4675: norG2228 againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of youG5216.
NayG235, muchG4183 moreG3123 those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983, which seemG1380 to beG5225 more feebleG772, areG2076 necessaryG316:
AndG2532 thoseG3739 members of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1511 less honourableG820, upon theseG5125 we bestowG4060 more abundantG4055 honourG5092; andG2532 ourG2257 uncomelyG809 parts haveG2192 more abundantG4055 comelinessG2157. {bestow: or, put on}
ForG1161 ourG2257 comelyG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532: butG235 GodG2316 hath temperedG4786 the bodyG4983 togetherG4786, having givenG1325 more abundantG4055 honourG5092 to that part which lackedG5302:
ThatG3363 there should beG5600 noG3363 schismG4978 inG1722 the bodyG4983; butG235 that the membersG3196 should haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 one forG5228 anotherG240. {schism: or, division}
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
NowG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, andG2532 membersG3196 inG1537 particularG3313.
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Are allG3361+G3956 apostlesG652? are allG3361+G3956 prophetsG4396? are allG3361+G3956 teachersG1320? are allG3361+G3956 workers of miraclesG1411? {workers…: or, powers?}
HaveG3361+G2192 allG3956 the giftsG5486 of healingG2386? do allG3956 speakG3361+G2980 with tonguesG1100? doG3361 allG3956 interpretG1329?
ButG1161 covet earnestlyG2206 the bestG2909 giftsG5486: andG2532 yetG2089 shew IG1166 unto youG5213 a moreG2596 excellentG5236 wayG3598.
IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325 graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658 inG1519 the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG4138 of ChristG5547: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried about withG4064 everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722+G3834, wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
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.
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG5547;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mindG3563;
AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742. {true…: or, holiness of truth}
WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
AndG1161 beG1096 ye kindG5543 one to anotherG1519+G240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, even asG2531+G2532 GodG2316 forG1722 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 hath forgivenG5483 youG5213.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
LetG2980 the prophetsG4396 speakG2980 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140, andG2532 letG1252 the otherG243 judgeG1252.
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.
And IG2504, brethrenG80, when I cameG2064 toG4314 youG5209, cameG2064 notG3756 withG2596 excellencyG5247 of speechG3056 orG2228 of wisdomG4678, declaringG2605 unto youG5213 the testimonyG3142 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I determinedG2919 notG3756 to knowG1492 any thingG5100 amongG1722 youG5213, saveG1508 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 himG5126 crucifiedG4717.
AndG2532 IG1473 wasG1096 withG4314 youG5209 inG1722 weaknessG769, andG2532 inG1722 fearG5401, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 tremblingG5156.
AndG2532 myG3450 speechG3056 andG2532 myG3450 preachingG2782 was notG3756 withG1722 enticingG3981 wordsG3056 of man'sG442 wisdomG4678, butG235 inG1722 demonstrationG585 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 of powerG1411: {enticing: or, persuasible}
ThatG2443 yourG5216 faithG4102 shouldG5600 notG3361 standG5600 inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of menG444, butG235 inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. {stand: Gr. be}
HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfectG5046: yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG165, norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165, that come to noughtG2673:
ButG235 we speakG2980 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 inG1722 a mysteryG3466, even the hiddenG613 wisdom, whichG3739 GodG2316 ordainedG4309 beforeG4253 the worldG165 untoG1519 ourG2257 gloryG1391:
WhichG3739 noneG3762 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165 knewG1097: forG1487+G1063 had they knownG1097 it, theyG302 wouldG4717 notG3756 have crucifiedG4717 the LordG2962 of gloryG1391.
ButG235 asG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3739, EyeG3788 hathG1492 notG3756 seenG1492, norG2532+G3756 earG3775 heardG191, neitherG2532+G3756 have enteredG305 intoG1909 the heartG2588 of manG444, the things whichG3739 GodG2316 hath preparedG2090 for them that loveG25 himG846.
ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601 them unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151: forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045 all thingsG3956, yeaG2532, the deep thingsG899 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 manG444 knowethG1492 the thingsG3588 of a manG444, saveG1508 the spiritG4151 of manG444 whichG3588 is inG1722 himG846? evenG2532 soG3779 the thingsG3588 of GodG2316 knowethG1492 no manG3762, butG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
ButG1161 the naturalG5591 manG444 receivethG1209 notG3756 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: forG1063 they areG2076 foolishnessG3472 unto himG846: neitherG2532+G3756 canG1410 he knowG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discernedG350.
ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350+G3303 all thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350 ofG5259 no manG3762. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned}
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962, thatG3739 he may instructG4822 himG846? ButG1161 weG2249 haveG2192 the mindG3563 of ChristG5547. {may: Gr. shall}
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG5213 GentilesG1484, inasmuch asG1909+G3745+G3303 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG3450 officeG1248:
If by any meansG1513+G4458 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, butG1508 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498?
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
AndG1161 if someG1536 of the branchesG2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG5607 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffed inG1461 amongG1722 themG846, andG2532 withG4791 themG1096 partakestG4791 of the rootG4491 andG2532 fatnessG4096 of the olive treeG1636; {among them: or, for them}
BoastG2620 notG3361 againstG2620 the branchesG2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG4491, butG235 the rootG4491 theeG4571.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461.
WellG2573; because of unbeliefG570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399:
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798+G2596, take heed lestG4458+G3381 heG5339 alsoG3381 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4675.
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098+G3303, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4571, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 in his goodnessG5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG3362 they abideG1961 notG3362 still in unbeliefG570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825.
ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cutG1581 out ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall theseG3778, which be the naturalG2596+G5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
