Romans 1 1. Paul <3972>, a servant <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <0652>, separated <0873> unto the gospel <2098> of God <2316>, 2 (Which he had promised <4279> afore <4279> by his prophets <4396> in the holy <0040> scriptures <1124>,) 3 Concerning <4012> his Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>, which <3588> was made <1096> of the seed <4690> of David <1138> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>; 4 And declared <3724> [to be] the Son <5207> of God <2316> with power <1411>, according <2596> to the spirit <4151> of holiness <0042>, by the resurrection <0386> from the dead <3498>: 5 By whom <3739> we have received <2983> grace <5485> and apostleship <0651>, for obedience <5218> to the faith <4102> among <1722> all <3956> nations <1484>, for his name <3686>: 6 Among <1722> whom <3739> are ye also <2532> the called <2822> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 7 To all <3956> that be in Rome <4516>, beloved <0027> of God <2316>, called <2822> [to be] saints <0040>: Grace <5485> to you and peace <1515> from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 8. First <4412>, I thank <2168> my God <2316> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you all <3956>, that your <5216> faith <4102> is spoken <2605> of throughout <1722> the whole <3650> world <2889>. 9 For God <2316> is my witness <3144>, whom <3739> I serve <3000> with my spirit <4151> in the gospel <2098> of his Son <5207>, that without <0089> ceasing <0089> I make <4160> mention <3417> of you always <3842> in my prayers <4335>; 10 Making <1189> request <1189>, if <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> now <2035> at <4218> length <4218> I might have a prosperous <2137> journey <2137> by the will <2307> of God <2316> to come <2064> unto you. 11 For I long <1971> to see <1492> you, that I may impart <3330> unto you some <5100> spiritual <4152> gift <5486>, to the end <1519> ye may be established <4741>; 12 That is, that I may be comforted <4837> together <4837> with you by the mutual <0240> faith <4102> both <5037> of you and me. 13 Now <1161> I would <2309> not have you ignorant <0050>, brethren <0080>, that oftentimes <4178> I purposed <4388> to come <2064> unto you, (but was let <2967> hitherto <1204>,) that I might have <2192> some <5100> fruit <2590> among <1722> you also <2532>, even <2532> as among <1722> other <3062> Gentiles <1484>. 14 I am <1510> debtor <3781> both <5037> to the Greeks <1672>, and to the Barbarians <0915>; both <5037> to the wise <4680>, and to the unwise <0453>. 15 So <3779>, as much <3588> as in me is, I am ready <4289> to preach <2097> the gospel <2097> to you that are at <1722> Rome <4516> also <2532>. 16. For I am not ashamed <1870> of the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>: for it is the power <1411> of God <2316> unto salvation <4991> to every <3956> one that believeth <4100>; to the Jew <2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> to the Greek <1672>. 17 For therein <0846> is the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> revealed <0601> from faith <4102> to faith <4102>: as it is written <1125>, The just <1342> shall live <2198> by faith <4102>. 18 For the wrath <3709> of God <2316> is revealed <0601> from heaven <3772> against <1909> all <3956> ungodliness <0763> and unrighteousness <0093> of men <0444>, who <3588> hold <2722> the truth <0225> in unrighteousness <0093>; 19. Because <1360> that which may be known <1110> of God <2316> is manifest <5318> in them; for God <2316> hath shewed <5319> [it] unto them. 20 For the invisible <0517> things of him from the creation <2937> of the world <2889> are clearly <2529> seen <2529>, being understood <3539> by the things that are made <4161>, [even] his eternal <0126> power <1411> and Godhead <2305>; so <1519> that they are without <0379> excuse <0379>: 21 Because <1360> that, when they knew <1097> God <2316>, they glorified <1392> [him] not as God <2316>, neither <2228> were thankful <2168>; but became <3154> vain <3154> in their imaginations <1261>, and their foolish <0801> heart <2588> was darkened <4654>. 22 Professing <5335> themselves to be wise <4680>, they became <3471> fools <3471>, 23 And changed <0236> the glory <1391> of the uncorruptible <0862> God <2316> into <1722> an image <1504> made like <3667> to corruptible <5349> man <0444>, and to birds <4071>, and fourfooted <5074> beasts <5074>, and creeping <2062> things. 24 Wherefore <1352> God <2316> also <2532> gave <3860> them up to uncleanness <0167> through <1722> the lusts <1939> of their own hearts <2588>, to dishonour <0818> their own bodies <4983> between <1722> themselves <1438>: 25 Who <3748> changed <3337> the truth <0225> of God <2316> into <1722> a lie <5579>, and worshipped <4573> and served <3000> the creature <2937> more <3844> than <3844> the Creator <2936>, who <3739> is blessed <2128> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 26 For this <5124> cause <1223> God <2316> gave <3860> them up unto vile <0819> affections <3806>: for even <5037> their women <2338> did change <3337> the natural <5446> use <5540> into <1519> that which is against <3844> nature <5449>: 27 And likewise <3668> also <2532> the men <0730>, leaving <0863> the natural <5446> use <5540> of the woman <2338>, burned <1572> in their lust <3715> one <0240> toward <1519> another <0240>; men <0730> with men <0730> working <2716> that which is unseemly <0808>, and receiving <0618> in themselves <1438> that recompence <0489> of their error <4106> which <3739> was meet <1163>. 28 And even <2531> as they did not like <1381> to retain <2192> God <2316> in [their] knowledge <1922>, God <2316> gave <3860> them over <3860> to a reprobate <0096> mind <3563>, to do <4160> those <3588> things which are not convenient <2520>; 29 Being filled <4137> with all <3956> unrighteousness <0093>, fornication <4202>, wickedness <4189>, covetousness <4124>, maliciousness <2549>; full <3324> of envy <5355>, murder <5408>, debate <2054>, deceit <1388>, malignity <2550>; whisperers <5588>, 30 Backbiters <2637>, haters <2319> of God <2319>, despiteful <5197>, proud <5244>, boasters <0213>, inventors <2182> of evil <2556> things, disobedient <0545> to parents <1118>, 31 Without <0801> understanding <0801>, covenantbreakers <0802>, without <0794> natural affection <0794>, implacable <0786>, unmerciful <0415>: 32 Who <3748> knowing <1921> the judgment <1345> of God <2316>, that they which commit <4238> such <5108> things are worthy <0514> of death <2288>, not only <3440> do the same <0846>, but have pleasure <4909> in them that do <4238> them. Romans 2 1. Therefore <1352> thou art <1488> inexcusable <0379>, O man <0444>, whosoever <3588> thou art <1488> that judgest <2919>: for wherein <1722> <3739> thou judgest <2919> another <2087>, thou condemnest <2632> thyself <4572>; for thou that judgest <2919> doest <4238> the same <0846> things. 2 But we are sure <1492> that the judgment <2917> of God <2316> is according <2596> to truth <0225> against <1909> them which commit <4238> such <5108> things. 3 And thinkest <3049> thou this <5124>, O man <0444>, that judgest <2919> them which do <4238> such <5108> things, and doest <4160> the same <0846>, that thou shalt escape <1628> the judgment <2917> of God <2316>? 4 Or <2228> despisest <2706> thou the riches <4149> of his goodness <5544> and forbearance <0463> and longsuffering <3115>; not knowing <0050> that the goodness <5543> of God <2316> leadeth <0071> thee to repentance <3341>? 5 But after <2596> thy hardness <4643> and impenitent <0279> heart <2588> treasurest <2343> up unto thyself <4572> wrath <3709> against <1722> the day <2250> of wrath <3709> and revelation <0602> of the righteous <1341> judgment <1341> of God <2316>; 6 Who <3739> will render <0591> to every <1538> man according <2596> to his deeds <2041>: 7 To them who by patient <5281> continuance <5281> in well <0018> doing <2041> seek <2212> for glory <1391> and honour <5092> and immortality <0861>, eternal <0166> life <2222>: 8 But unto them that are contentious <2052>, and do not obey <0544> the truth <0225>, but obey <3982> unrighteousness <0093>, indignation <2372> and wrath <3709>, 9 Tribulation <2347> and anguish <4730>, upon every <3956> soul <5590> of man <0444> that doeth <2716> evil <2556>, of the Jew <2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> of the Gentile <1672>; 10 But glory <1391>, honour <5092>, and peace <1515>, to every <3956> man <3956> that worketh <2038> good <0018>, to the Jew <2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> to the Gentile <1672>: 11 For there is no <3756> respect <4382> of persons <4382> with God <2316>. 12 For as many <3745> as have sinned <0264> without <0460> law <0460> shall also <2532> perish <0622> without <0460> law <0460>: and as many <3745> as have sinned <0264> in the law <3551> shall be judged <2919> by the law <3551>; 13 (For not the hearers <0202> of the law <3551> [are] just <1342> before <3844> God <2316>, but the doers <4163> of the law <3551> shall be justified <1344>. 14 For when <3752> the Gentiles <1484>, which <3588> have <2192> not the law <3551>, do <4160> by nature <5449> the things contained in the law <3551>, these <3778>, having <2192> not the law <3551>, are a law <3551> unto themselves <1438>: 15 Which <3748> shew <1731> the work <2041> of the law <3551> written <1123> in their hearts <2588>, their conscience <4893> also <4828> bearing <4828> witness <4828>, and [their] thoughts <3053> the mean <3342> while accusing <2723> or <2228> else <2532> excusing <0626> one <0240> another <0240>;) 16 In the day <2250> when <3753> God <2316> shall judge <2919> the secrets <2927> of men <0444> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> according <2596> to my gospel <2098>. 17. Behold <2396>, thou art called <2028> a Jew <2453>, and restest <1879> in the law <3551>, and makest <2744> thy boast <2744> of God <2316>, 18 And knowest <1097> [his] will <2307>, and approvest <1381> the things that are more excellent <1308>, being instructed <2727> out of the law <3551>; 19 And art confident <3982> that thou thyself <4572> art a guide <3595> of the blind <5185>, a light <5457> of them which are in darkness <4655>, 20 An instructor <3810> of the foolish <0878>, a teacher <1320> of babes <3516>, which hast <2192> the form <3446> of knowledge <1108> and of the truth <0225> in the law <3551>. 21 Thou therefore <3767> which <3588> teachest <1321> another <2087>, teachest <1321> thou not thyself <4572>? thou that preachest <2784> a man should not steal <2813>, dost thou steal <2813>? 22 Thou that sayest <3004> a man should not commit <3431> adultery <3431>, dost thou commit <3431> adultery <3431>? thou that abhorrest <0948> idols <1497>, dost thou commit <2416> sacrilege <2416>? 23 Thou that makest <2744> thy boast <2744> of the law <3551>, through <1223> breaking <3847> the law <3551> dishonourest <0818> thou God <2316>? 24 For the name <3686> of God <2316> is blasphemed <0987> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> through <1223> you, as it is written <1125>. 25 For circumcision <4061> verily <3303> profiteth <5623>, if <1437> thou keep <4238> the law <3551>: but if <1437> thou be a breaker <3848> of the law <3551>, thy circumcision <4061> is made <1096> uncircumcision <0203>. 26 Therefore <3767> if <1437> the uncircumcision <0203> keep <5442> the righteousness <1345> of the law <3551>, shall not his uncircumcision <0203> be counted <3049> for circumcision <4061>? 27 And shall not uncircumcision <0203> which is by nature <5449>, if it fulfil <5055> the law <3551>, judge <2919> thee, who <3588> by the letter <1121> and circumcision <4061> dost transgress <3848> the law <3551>? 28 For he is not a Jew <2453>, which is one outwardly <5318>; neither <3761> [is that] circumcision <4061>, which is outward <5318> in the flesh <4561>: 29 But he [is] a Jew <2453>, which is one inwardly <2927>; and circumcision <4061> [is that] of the heart <2588>, in the spirit <4151>, [and] not in the letter <1121>; whose <3739> praise <1868> [is] not of men <0444>, but of God <2316>. Romans 3 1. What <5101> advantage <4053> then <3767> hath the Jew <2453>? or <2228> what <5101> profit <5622> [is there] of circumcision <4061>? 2 Much <4183> every <3956> way <5158>: chiefly <4412>, because <3754> that unto them were committed <4100> the oracles <3051> of God <2316>. 3 For what <5101> if <1487> some <5100> did not believe <0569>? shall their unbelief <0570> make <2673> the faith <4102> of God <2316> without <2673> effect <2673>? 4 God <1096> forbid <1096>: yea <1161>, let God <2316> be true <0227>, but every <3956> man <0444> a liar <5583>; as it is written <1125>, That thou mightest be justified <1344> in thy sayings <3056>, and mightest overcome <3528> when <3588> thou art judged <2919>. 5 But if <1487> our unrighteousness <0093> commend <4921> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316>, what <5101> shall we say <2046>? [Is] God <2316> unrighteous <0094> who <3588> taketh <2018> vengeance <3709>? (I speak <3004> as a man <0444>) 6 God <1096> forbid <1096>: for then how <4459> shall God <2316> judge <2919> the world <2889>? 7 For if <1487> the truth <0225> of God <2316> hath more abounded <4052> through <1722> my lie <5582> unto his glory <1391>; why <5101> yet <2089> am I also <2504> judged <2919> as a sinner <0268>? 8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously <0987> reported <0987>, and as some <5100> affirm <5346> that we say <3004>,) Let us do <4160> evil <2556>, that good <0018> may come <2064>? whose <3739> damnation <2917> is just <1738>. 9 What <5101> then <3767>? are we better <4284> [than they]? No <3756>, in no <3843> wise <3843>: for we have before <4256> proved <4256> both <5037> Jews <2453> and Gentiles <1672>, that they are all <3956> under <5259> sin <0266>; 10 As it is written <1125>, There is none <3756> righteous <1342>, no, not one <1520>: 11 There is none <3756> that understandeth <4920>, there is none <3756> that seeketh <1567> after <1567> God <2316>. 12 They are all <3956> gone <1578> out of the way, they are together <0260> become <0889> unprofitable <0889>; there is none <3756> that doeth <4160> good <5544>, no, not one <1520>. 13 Their throat <2995> [is] an open <0455> sepulchre <5028>; with their tongues <1100> they have used <1387> deceit <1387>; the poison <2447> of asps <0785> [is] under <5259> their lips <5491>: 14 Whose <3739> mouth <4750> [is] full <1073> of cursing <0685> and bitterness <4088>: 15 Their feet <4228> [are] swift <3691> to shed <1632> blood <0129>: 16 Destruction <4938> and misery <5004> [are] in their ways <3598>: 17 And the way <3598> of peace <1515> have they not known <1097>: 18 There is no <3756> fear <5401> of God <2316> before <0561> their eyes <3788>. 19. Now <1161> we know <1492> that what <3745> things soever <1437> the law <3551> saith <3004>, it saith <2980> to them who are under <1722> the law <3551>: that every <3956> mouth <4750> may be stopped <5420>, and all <3956> the world <2889> may become <1096> guilty <5267> before God <2316>. 20 Therefore <1360> by the deeds <2041> of the law <3551> there shall no <3956> flesh <4561> be justified <1344> in his sight <1799>: for by the law <3551> [is] the knowledge <1922> of sin <0266>. 21 But now <3568> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> without <5565> the law <3551> is manifested <5319>, being witnessed <3140> by the law <3551> and the prophets <4396>; 22 Even <1161> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> [which is] by faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> unto all <3956> and upon all <3956> them that believe <4100>: for there is no <3756> difference <1293>: 23 For all <3956> have sinned <0264>, and come <5302> short <5302> of the glory <1391> of God <2316>; 24 Being justified <1344> freely <1432> by his grace <5485> through <1223> the redemption <0629> that is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 25 Whom <3739> God <2316> hath set <4388> forth <4388> [to be] a propitiation <2435> through <1223> faith <4102> in his blood <0129>, to declare <1732> his righteousness <1343> for the remission <3929> of sins <0265> that are past <4266>, through <1722> the forbearance <0463> of God <2316>; 26 To declare <1732>, [I say], at <1722> this <3568> time <2540> his righteousness <1343>: that he might be just <1342>, and the justifier <1344> of him which believeth <4102> in Jesus <2424>. 27 Where <4226> [is] boasting <2746> then <3767>? It is excluded <1576>. By what <4169> law <3551>? of works <2041>? Nay <3780>: but by the law <3551> of faith <4102>. 28 Therefore <3767> we conclude <3049> that a man <0444> is justified <1344> by faith <4102> without <5565> the deeds <2041> of the law <3551>. 29 [Is he] the God <2316> of the Jews <2453> only <3440>? [is he] not also <2532> of the Gentiles <1484>? Yes <3483>, of the Gentiles <1484> also <2532>: 30 Seeing <1897> [it is] one <1520> God <2316>, which <3739> shall justify <1344> the circumcision <4061> by faith <4102>, and uncircumcision <0203> through <1223> faith <4102>. 31 Do we then <3767> make <2673> void <2673> the law <3551> through <1223> faith <4102>? God <1096> forbid <1096>: yea <0235>, we establish <2476> the law <3551>. Romans 4 1. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> that Abraham <0011> our father <3962>, as pertaining to the flesh <4561>, hath found <2147>? 2 For if <1487> Abraham <0011> were justified <1344> by works <2041>, he hath <2192> [whereof] to glory <2745>; but not before <4314> God <2316>. 3 For what <5101> saith <3004> the scripture <1124>? Abraham <0011> believed <4100> God <2316>, and it was counted <3049> unto him for righteousness <1343>. 4 Now <1161> to him that worketh <2038> is the reward <3408> not reckoned <3049> of grace <5485>, but of debt <3783>. 5 But to him that worketh <2038> not, but believeth <4100> on <1909> him that justifieth <1344> the ungodly <0765>, his faith <4102> is counted <3049> for righteousness <1343>. 6 Even <2509> as David <1138> also <2532> describeth <3004> the blessedness <3108> of the man <0444>, unto whom <3739> God <2316> imputeth <3049> righteousness <1343> without <5565> works <2041>, 7 [Saying], Blessed <3107> [are] they whose <3739> iniquities <0458> are forgiven <0863>, and whose <3739> sins <0266> are covered <1943>. 8 Blessed <3107> [is] the man <0435> to whom <3739> the Lord <2962> will not impute <3049> sin <0266>. 9. [Cometh] this <3778> blessedness <3108> then <3767> upon the circumcision <4061> [only], or <2228> upon the uncircumcision <0203> also <2532>? for we say <3004> that faith <4102> was reckoned <3049> to Abraham <0011> for righteousness <1343>. 10 How <4459> was it then <3767> reckoned <3049>? when he was in circumcision <4061>, or <2228> in uncircumcision <0203>? Not in circumcision <4061>, but in uncircumcision <0203>. 11 And he received <2983> the sign <4592> of circumcision <4061>, a seal <4973> of the righteousness <1343> of the faith <4102> which <3588> [he had yet] being uncircumcised <0203>: that he might be the father <3962> of all <3956> them that believe <4100>, though <1223> they be not circumcised <0203>; that righteousness <1343> might be imputed <3049> unto them also <2532>: 12 And the father <3962> of circumcision <4061> to them who <3588> are not of the circumcision <4061> only <3440>, but who <3588> also <2532> walk <4748> in the steps <2487> of that faith <4102> of our father <3962> Abraham <0011>, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised <0203>. 13 For the promise <1860>, that he should be the heir <2818> of the world <2889>, [was] not to Abraham <0011>, or <2228> to his seed <4690>, through <1223> the law <3551>, but through <1223> the righteousness <1343> of faith <4102>. 14 For if <1487> they which are of the law <3551> [be] heirs <2818>, faith <4102> is made <2758> void <2758>, and the promise <1860> made <2673> of none <2673> effect <2673>: 15 Because <1063> the law <3551> worketh <2716> wrath <3709>: for where <3757> no <3756> law <3551> is, [there is] no <3761> transgression <3847>. 16 Therefore <5124> [it is] of faith <4102>, that [it might be] by grace <5485>; to the end <1519> the promise <1860> might be sure <0949> to all <3956> the seed <4690>; not to that only <3440> which is of the law <3551>, but to that also <2532> which is of the faith <4102> of Abraham <0011>; who <3739> is the father <3962> of us all <3956>, 17. (As it is written <1125>, I have made <5087> thee a father <3962> of many <4183> nations <1484>,) before <2713> him whom <3739> he believed <4100>, [even] God <2316>, who <3588> quickeneth <2227> the dead <3498>, and calleth <2564> those <3588> things which be not as though they were. 18 Who <3739> against <3844> hope <1680> believed <4100> in hope <1680>, that he might become <1096> the father <3962> of many <4183> nations <1484>, according <2596> to that which was spoken <2046>, So <3779> shall thy seed <4690> be. 19 And being not weak <0770> in faith <4102>, he considered <2657> not his own <1438> body <4983> now <2035> dead <3499>, when he was about <4225> an hundred <1541> years <1541> old <1541>, neither yet the deadness <3500> of Sara's <4564> womb <3388>: 20 He staggered <1252> not at <1519> the promise <1860> of God <2316> through unbelief <0570>; but was strong <1743> in faith <4102>, giving glory <1391> to God <2316>; 21 And being fully <4135> persuaded <4135> that, what <3739> he had promised <1861>, he was able <1415> also <2532> to perform <4160>. 22 And therefore <1352> it was imputed <3049> to him for righteousness <1343>. 23. Now <1161> it was not written <1125> for his sake alone <3440>, that it was imputed <3049> to him; 24 But for us also <2532>, to whom <3739> it shall be imputed <3049>, if we believe <4100> on <1909> him that raised <1453> up Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962> from the dead <3498>; 25 Who <3739> was delivered <3860> for our offences <3900>, and was raised <1453> again <1453> for our justification <1347>. Romans 5 1. Therefore <3767> being justified <1344> by faith <4102>, we have <2192> peace <1515> with God <2316> through <1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 2 By whom <3739> also <2532> we have <2192> access <4318> by faith <4102> into <1519> this <5026> grace <5485> wherein <1722> <3739> we stand <2476>, and rejoice <2744> in hope <1680> of the glory <1391> of God <2316>. 3 And not only <3440> [so], but we glory <2744> in tribulations <2347> also <2532>: knowing <1492> that tribulation <2347> worketh <2716> patience <5281>; 4 And patience <5281>, experience <1382>; and experience <1382>, hope <1680>: 5 And hope <1680> maketh <2617> not ashamed <2617>; because <3754> the love <0026> of God <2316> is shed <1632> abroad <1632> in our hearts <2588> by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> which <3588> is given <1325> unto us. 6. For when we were yet <2089> without <0772> strength <0772>, in due time <2540> Christ <5547> died <0599> for the ungodly <0765>. 7 For scarcely <3433> for a righteous <1342> man will one <5100> die <0599>: yet <1063> peradventure <5029> for a good <0018> man some <5100> would even dare <5111> to die <0599>. 8 But God <2316> commendeth <4921> his love <0026> toward <1519> us, in that, while we were yet <2089> sinners <0268>, Christ <5547> died <0599> for us. 9 Much <4183> more <3123> then <3767>, being now <3568> justified <1344> by his blood <0129>, we shall be saved <4982> from wrath <3709> through <1223> him. 10 For if <1487>, when we were enemies <2190>, we were reconciled <2644> to God <2316> by the death <2288> of his Son <5207>, much <4183> more <3123>, being reconciled <2644>, we shall be saved <4982> by his life <2222>. 11 And not only <3440> [so], but we also <2532> joy <2744> in God <2316> through <1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by whom <3739> we have now <3568> received <2983> the atonement <2643>. 12 Wherefore <5124>, as by one <1520> man <0444> sin <0266> entered <1525> into <1519> the world <2889>, and death <2288> by sin <0266>; and so <3779> death <2288> passed <1330> upon all <3956> men <0444>, for that all <3956> have sinned <0264>: 13 (For until <0891> the law <3551> sin <0266> was in the world <2889>: but sin <0266> is not imputed <1677> when there is no <3361> law <3551>. 14 Nevertheless <0235> death <2288> reigned <0936> from Adam <0076> to <3360> Moses <3475>, even <2532> over <1909> them that had not sinned <0264> after <1909> the similitude <3667> of Adam's <0076> transgression <3847>, who <3739> is the figure <5179> of him that was to come <3195>. 15 But not as the offence <3900>, so <3779> also <2532> [is] the free <5486> gift <5486>. For if <1487> through the offence <3900> of one <1520> many <4183> be dead <0599>, much <4183> more <3123> the grace <5485> of God <2316>, and the gift <1431> by grace <5485>, [which is] by one <1520> man, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, hath abounded <4052> unto many <4183>. 16 And not as [it was] by one <1520> that sinned <0264>, [so is] the gift <1434>: for the judgment <2917> [was] by one <1520> to condemnation <2631>, but the free <5486> gift <5486> [is] of many <4183> offences <3900> unto justification <1345>. 17 For if <1487> by one <1520> man's offence <3900> death <2288> reigned <0936> by one <1520>; much <4183> more <3123> they which receive <2983> abundance <4050> of grace <5485> and of the gift <1431> of righteousness <1343> shall reign <0936> in life <2222> by one <1520>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.) 18 Therefore <3767> as by the offence <3900> of one <1520> [judgment came] upon all <3956> men <0444> to condemnation <2631>; even <2532> so <3779> by the righteousness <1345> of one <1520> [the free gift came] upon all <3956> men <0444> unto justification <1347> of life <2222>. 19 For as by one <1520> man's <0444> disobedience <3876> many <4183> were made <2525> sinners <0268>, so <3779> by the obedience <5218> of one <1520> shall many <4183> be made <2525> righteous <1342>. 20 Moreover <1161> the law <3551> entered <3922>, that the offence <3900> might abound <4121>. But where <3757> sin <0266> abounded <4121>, grace <5485> did much <5248> more abound <5248>: 21 That as sin <0266> hath reigned <0936> unto death <2288>, even <2532> so <3779> might grace <5485> reign <0936> through <1223> righteousness <1343> unto eternal <0166> life <2222> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. Romans 6 1. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767>? Shall we continue <1961> in sin <0266>, that grace <5485> may abound <4121>? 2 God <1096> forbid <1096>. How <4459> shall we, that are dead <0599> to sin <0266>, live <2198> any <2089> longer <2089> therein <0846>? 3 Know <0050> ye not, that so <3745> many <3745> of us as were baptized <0907> into <1519> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> were baptized <0907> into <1519> his death <2288>? 4 Therefore <3767> we are buried <4916> with him by baptism <0908> into <1519> death <2288>: that like <5618> as Christ <5547> was raised <1453> up from the dead <3498> by the glory <1391> of the Father <3962>, even so <3779> we also <2532> should walk <4043> in newness <2538> of life <2222>. 5 For if <1487> we have been planted <4854> together <4854> in the likeness <3667> of his death <2288>, we shall be also <2532> [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection <0386>: 6 Knowing <1097> this <5124>, that our old <3820> man <0444> is crucified <4957> with [him], that the body <4983> of sin <0266> might be destroyed <2673>, that henceforth <3371> we should not serve <1398> sin <0266>. 7 For he that is dead <0599> is freed <1344> from sin <0266>. 8 Now <1161> if <1487> we be dead <0599> with Christ <5547>, we believe <4100> that we shall also <2532> live <4800> with him: 9 Knowing <1492> that Christ <5547> being raised <1453> from the dead <3498> dieth <0599> no <3765> more <2089>; death <2288> hath no <3765> more <3765> dominion <2961> over him. 10 For in that he died <0599>, he died <0599> unto sin <0266> once <2178>: but in that he liveth <2198>, he liveth <2198> unto God <2316>. 11 Likewise <3779> reckon <3049> ye also <2532> yourselves <1438> to be dead <3498> indeed <3303> unto sin <0266>, but alive <2198> unto God <2316> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. 12 Let not sin <0266> therefore <3767> reign <0936> in your <5216> mortal <2349> body <4983>, that ye should obey <5219> it in the lusts <1939> thereof <0846>. 13 Neither <3366> yield <3936> ye your <5216> members <3196> [as] instruments <3696> of unrighteousness <0093> unto sin <0266>: but yield <3936> yourselves <1438> unto God <2316>, as those that are alive <2198> from the dead <3498>, and your <5216> members <3196> [as] instruments <3696> of righteousness <1343> unto God <2316>. 14 For sin <0266> shall not have dominion <2961> over you: for ye are not under <5259> the law <3551>, but under <5259> grace <5485>. 15 What <5101> then <3767>? shall we sin <0264>, because <3754> we are not under <5259> the law <3551>, but under <5259> grace <5485>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. 16 Know <1492> ye not, that to whom <3739> ye yield <3936> yourselves <1438> servants <1401> to obey <5218>, his servants <1401> ye are to whom <3739> ye obey <5219>; whether <2273> of sin <0266> unto death <2288>, or <2228> of obedience <5218> unto righteousness <1343>? 17 But God <2316> be thanked <5485>, that ye were the servants <1401> of sin <0266>, but ye have obeyed <5219> from the heart <2588> that form <5179> of doctrine <1322> which <3739> was delivered <3860> you. 18 Being then <1161> made <1659> free <1659> from sin <0266>, ye became <1402> the servants <1402> of righteousness <1343>. 19 I speak <3004> after the manner <0442> of men <0442> because <1223> of the infirmity <0769> of your <5216> flesh <4561>: for as ye have yielded <3936> your <5216> members <3196> servants <1401> to uncleanness <0167> and to iniquity <0458> unto iniquity <0458>; even <3779> so <3779> now <3568> yield <3936> your <5216> members <3196> servants <1401> to righteousness <1343> unto holiness <0038>. 20 For when <3753> ye were the servants <1401> of sin <0266>, ye were free <1658> from righteousness <1343>. 21 What <5101> fruit <2590> had <2192> ye then <3767> in those things whereof <3739> ye are now <3568> ashamed <1870>? for the end <5056> of those <1565> things [is] death <2288>. 22 But now <3570> being made <1659> free <1659> from sin <0266>, and become <1402> servants <1402> to God <2316>, ye have <2192> your <5216> fruit <2590> unto holiness <0038>, and the end <5056> everlasting <0166> life <2222>. 23 For the wages <3800> of sin <0266> [is] death <2288>; but the gift <5486> of God <2316> [is] eternal <0166> life <2222> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. Romans 7 1. Know <0050> ye not, brethren <0080>, (for I speak <2980> to them that know <1097> the law <3551>,) how that the law <3551> hath dominion <2961> over a man <0444> as long <5550> as he liveth <2198>? 2 For the woman <1135> which hath <5220> an husband <5220> is bound <1210> by the law <3551> to [her] husband <0435> so long as he liveth <2198>; but if <1437> the husband <0435> be dead <0599>, she is loosed <2673> from the law <3551> of [her] husband <0435>. 3 So <0686> then <0686> if <1437>, while [her] husband <0435> liveth <2198>, she be married <1096> to another <2087> man <0435>, she shall be called <5537> an adulteress <3428>: but if <1437> her husband <0435> be dead <0599>, she is free <1658> from that law <3551>; so that she is no <3361> adulteress <3428>, though she be married <1096> to another <2087> man <0435>. 4 Wherefore <5620>, my brethren <0080>, ye also <2532> are become <2289> dead <2289> to the law <3551> by the body <4983> of Christ <5547>; that ye should be married <1096> to another <2087>, [even] to him who is raised <1453> from the dead <3498>, that we should bring <2592> forth fruit <2592> unto God <2316>. 5 For when <3753> we were in the flesh <4561>, the motions <3804> of sins <0266>, which <3588> were by the law <3551>, did work <1754> in our members <3196> to bring <2592> forth fruit <2592> unto death <2288>. 6 But now <3570> we are delivered <2673> from the law <3551>, that being dead <0599> wherein <1722> <3739> we were held <2722>; that we should serve <1398> in newness <2538> of spirit <4151>, and not [in] the oldness <3821> of the letter <1121>. 7. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767>? [Is] the law <3551> sin <0266>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. Nay <0235>, I had not known <1097> sin <0266>, but by the law <3551>: for I had not known <1492> lust <1939>, except <1508> the law <3551> had said <3004>, Thou shalt not covet <1937>. 8 But sin <0266>, taking <2983> occasion <0874> by the commandment <1785>, wrought <2716> in me all <3956> manner of concupiscence <1939>. For without <5565> the law <3551> sin <0266> [was] dead <3498>. 9 For I was alive <2198> without <5565> the law <3551> once <4218>: but when the commandment <1785> came <2064>, sin <0266> revived <0326>, and I died <0599>. 10 And the commandment <1785>, which <3588> [was ordained] to life <2222>, I found <2147> [to be] unto death <2288>. 11 For sin <0266>, taking <2983> occasion <0874> by the commandment <1785>, deceived <1818> me, and by it slew <0615> [me]. 12 Wherefore <5620> the law <3551> [is] holy <0040>, and the commandment <1785> holy <0040>, and just <1342>, and good <0018>. 13 Was then <3767> that which is good <0018> made <1096> death <2288> unto me? God <1096> forbid <1096>. But sin <0266>, that it might appear <5316> sin <0266>, working <2716> death <2288> in me by that which is good <0018>; that sin <0266> by the commandment <1785> might become <1096> exceeding <5236> sinful <0268>. 14. For we know <1492> that the law <3551> is spiritual <4152>: but I am <1510> carnal <4559>, sold <4097> under <5259> sin <0266>. 15 For that which <3739> I do <2716> I allow <1097> not: for what <3739> I would <2309>, that do <4238> I not; but what <3739> I hate <3404>, that do <4160> I. 16 If <1487> then <1161> I do <4160> that which <3739> I would <2309> not, I consent <4852> unto the law <3551> that [it is] good <2570>. 17 Now <3570> then <1161> it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <0266> that dwelleth <3611> in me. 18 For I know <1492> that in me (that is, in my flesh <4561>,) dwelleth <3611> no <3756> good <0018> thing: for to will <2309> is present <3873> with me; but [how] to perform <2716> that which is good <2570> I find <2147> not. 19 For the good <0018> that I would <2309> I do <4160> not: but the evil <2556> which <3739> I would <2309> not, that I do <4238>. 20 Now <1161> if <1487> I do <4160> that I would <2309> not, it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <0266> that dwelleth <3611> in me. 21 I find <2147> then <0686> a law <3551>, that, when I would <2309> do <4160> good <2570>, evil <2556> is present <3873> with me. 22 For I delight <4913> in the law <3551> of God <2316> after <2596> the inward <2080> man <0444>: 23 But I see <0991> another <2087> law <3551> in my members <3196>, warring <0497> against <0497> the law <3551> of my mind <3563>, and bringing <0163> me into captivity <0163> to the law <3551> of sin <0266> which <3588> is in my members <3196>. 24 O wretched <5005> man <0444> that I am! who <5101> shall deliver <4506> me from the body <4983> of this <5127> death <2288>? 25 I thank <2168> God <2316> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. So <0686> then <0686> with the mind <3563> I myself serve <1398> the law <3551> of God <2316>; but with the flesh <4561> the law <3551> of sin <0266>. Romans 8 1. [There is] therefore <0686> now <3568> no <3762> condemnation <2631> to them which are in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who walk <4043> not after <2596> the flesh <4561>, but after <2596> the Spirit <4151>. 2 For the law <3551> of the Spirit <4151> of life <2222> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> hath made <1659> me free <1659> from the law <3551> of sin <0266> and death <2288>. 3 For what <3588> the law <3551> could <0102> not do, in that it was weak <0770> through <1223> the flesh <4561>, God <2316> sending <3992> his own <1438> Son <5207> in the likeness <3667> of sinful <0266> flesh <4561>, and for sin <0266>, condemned <2632> sin <0266> in the flesh <4561>: 4 That the righteousness <1345> of the law <3551> might be fulfilled <4137> in us, who walk <4043> not after <2596> the flesh <4561>, but after <2596> the Spirit <4151>. 5 For they that are after <2596> the flesh <4561> do mind <5426> the things of the flesh <4561>; but they that are after <2596> the Spirit <4151> the things of the Spirit <4151>. 6 For to be carnally <4561> minded <5427> [is] death <2288>; but to be spiritually <4151> minded <5427> [is] life <2222> and peace <1515>. 7 Because <1360> the carnal <4561> mind <5427> [is] enmity <2189> against <1519> God <2316>: for it is not subject <5293> to the law <3551> of God <2316>, neither <3761> indeed <1063> can <1410> be. 8 So then <1161> they that are in the flesh <4561> cannot <1410> please <0700> God <2316>. 9 But ye are not in the flesh <4561>, but in the Spirit <4151>, if <1512> so be that the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwell <3611> in you. Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man have <2192> not the Spirit <4151> of Christ <5547>, he is none <3756> of his. 10. And if <1487> Christ <5547> [be] in you, the body <4983> [is] dead <3498> because <1223> of sin <0266>; but the Spirit <4151> [is] life <2222> because <1223> of righteousness <1343>. 11 But if <1437> the Spirit <4151> of him that raised <1453> up Jesus <2424> from the dead <3498> dwell <3611> in you, he that raised <1453> up Christ <5547> from the dead <3498> shall also <2532> quicken <2227> your <5216> mortal <2349> bodies <4983> by his Spirit <4151> that dwelleth <1774> in you. 12 Therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, we are debtors <3781>, not to the flesh <4561>, to live <2198> after <2596> the flesh <4561>. 13 For if <1437> ye live <2198> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, ye shall die <0599>: but if <1487> ye through the Spirit <4151> do mortify <2289> the deeds <4234> of the body <4983>, ye shall live <2198>. 14 For as many <3745> as are led <0071> by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, they are the sons <5207> of God <2316>. 15 For ye have not received <2983> the spirit <4151> of bondage <1397> again <3825> to fear <5401>; but ye have received <2983> the Spirit <4151> of adoption <5206>, whereby <3739> we cry <2896>, Abba <0005>, Father <3962>. 16 The Spirit <4151> itself <0846> beareth <4828> witness <4828> with our spirit <4151>, that we are the children <5043> of God <2316>: 17. And if <1487> children <5043>, then <2531> heirs <2818>; heirs <2818> of God <2316>, and joint-heirs <4789> with Christ <5547>; if <1512> so be that we suffer <4841> with [him], that we may be also <2532> glorified <4888> together <4888>. 18 For I reckon <3049> that the sufferings <3804> of this <3588> present <3568> time <2540> [are] not worthy <0514> [to be compared] with the glory <1391> which shall be revealed <0601> in us. 19 For the earnest <0603> expectation <0603> of the creature <2937> waiteth <0553> for the manifestation <0602> of the sons <5207> of God <2316>. 20 For the creature <2937> was made <5293> subject <5293> to vanity <3153>, not willingly <1635>, but by reason <1223> of him who hath subjected <5293> [the same] in hope <1680>, 21 Because <3754> the creature <2937> itself <0846> also <2532> shall be delivered <1659> from the bondage <1397> of corruption <5356> into <1519> the glorious <1391> liberty <1657> of the children <5043> of God <2316>. 22 For we know <1492> that the whole <3956> creation <2937> groaneth <4959> and travaileth <4944> in pain together <4944> until <0891> now <3568>. 23 And not only <3440> [they], but ourselves also <2532>, which have <2192> the firstfruits <0536> of the Spirit <4151>, even <2532> we ourselves groan <4727> within <1722> ourselves <1438>, waiting <0553> for the adoption <5206>, [to wit], the redemption <0629> of our body <4983>. 24 For we are saved <4982> by hope <1680>: but hope <1680> that is seen <0991> is not hope <1680>: for what a man <5100> seeth <0991>, why <5101> doth he yet hope <1679> for? 25 But if <1487> we hope <1679> for that we see <0991> not, [then] do we with patience <5281> wait <0553> for [it]. 26. Likewise <5615> the Spirit <4151> also <2532> helpeth <4878> our infirmities <0769>: for we know <1492> not what <5101> we should pray <4336> for as <2526> we ought <1163>: but the Spirit <4151> itself <0846> maketh <5241> intercession <5241> for us with groanings <4726> which cannot <0215> be uttered <0215>. 27 And he that searcheth <2045> the hearts <2588> knoweth <1492> what <5101> [is] the mind <5427> of the Spirit <4151>, because <3754> he maketh <1793> intercession <1793> for the saints <0040> according <2596> to [the will of] God <2316>. 28 And we know <1492> that all <3956> things work <4903> together <4903> for good <0018> to them that love <0025> God <2316>, to them who are the called <2822> according <2596> to [his] purpose <4286>. 29. For whom <3739> he did foreknow <4267>, he also <2532> did predestinate <4309> [to be] conformed <4832> to the image <1504> of his Son <5207>, that he might be the firstborn <4416> among <1722> many <4183> brethren <0080>. 30 Moreover <1161> whom <3739> he did predestinate <4309>, them he also <2532> called <2564>: and whom <3739> he called <2564>, them he also <2532> justified <1344>: and whom <3739> he justified <1344>, them he also <2532> glorified <1392>. 31. What <5101> shall we then <3767> say <2046> to these <5023> things? If <1487> God <2316> [be] for us, who <5101> [can be] against <2596> us? 32 He that spared <5339> not his own <2398> Son <5207>, but delivered <3860> him up for us all <3956>, how <4459> shall he not with him also <2532> freely give <5483> us all <3956> things? 33 Who <5101> shall lay <1458> any thing to the charge <2596> of God's <2316> elect <1588>? [It is] God <2316> that justifieth <1344>. 34 Who <5101> [is] he that condemneth <2632>? [It is] Christ <5547> that died <0599>, yea <1161> rather <3123>, that is risen <1453> again <1453>, who <3739> is even <2532> at <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>, who <3739> also <2532> maketh <1793> intercession <1793> for us. 35 Who <5101> shall separate <5563> us from the love <0026> of Christ <5547>? [shall] tribulation <2347>, or <2228> distress <4730>, or <2228> persecution <1375>, or <2228> famine <3042>, or <2228> nakedness <1132>, or <2228> peril <2794>, or <2228> sword <3162>? 36 As it is written <1125>, For thy sake <1752> we are killed <2289> all <3650> the day <2250> long; we are accounted <3049> as sheep <4263> for the slaughter <4967>. 37 Nay <0235>, in all <3956> these <5125> things we are more <5245> than <5245> conquerors <5245> through <1223> him that loved <0025> us. 38 For I am persuaded <3982>, that neither <3777> death <2288>, nor <3777> life <2222>, nor <3777> angels <0032>, nor <3777> principalities <0746>, nor <3777> powers <1411>, nor <3777> things present <1764>, nor <3777> things to come <3195>, 39 Nor <3777> height <5313>, nor <3777> depth <0899>, nor <3777> any <5100> other <2087> creature <2937>, shall be able <1410> to separate <5563> us from the love <0026> of God <2316>, which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>. Romans 9 1. I say <3004> the truth <0225> in Christ <5547>, I lie <5574> not, my conscience <4893> also <4828> bearing <4828> me witness <4828> in the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, 2 That I have <2076> great <3173> heaviness <3077> and continual <0088> sorrow <3601> in my heart <2588>. 3 For I could wish <2172> that myself <0846> were accursed <0331> from Christ <5547> for my brethren <0080>, my kinsmen <4773> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>: 4 Who <3748> are Israelites <2475>; to whom <3739> [pertaineth] the adoption <5206>, and the glory <1391>, and the covenants <1242>, and the giving <3548> of the law <3548>, and the service <2999> [of God], and the promises <1860>; 5 Whose <3739> [are] the fathers <3962>, and of whom <3739> as concerning <2596> the flesh <4561> Christ <5547> [came], who <3588> is over <1909> all <3956>, God <2316> blessed <2128> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 6. Not as though <3754> the word <3056> of God <2316> hath taken none <1601> effect <1601>. For they [are] not all <3956> Israel <2474>, which <3588> are of Israel <2474>: 7 Neither <3761>, because <3754> they are the seed <4690> of Abraham <0011>, [are they] all <3956> children <5043>: but, In Isaac <2464> shall thy seed <4690> be called <2564>. 8 That is, They which are the children <5043> of the flesh <4561>, these <5023> [are] not the children <5043> of God <2316>: but the children <5043> of the promise <1860> are counted <3049> for the seed <4690>. 9 For this <3778> [is] the word <3056> of promise <1860>, At <2596> this <5126> time <2540> will I come <2064>, and Sara <4564> shall have <2071> a son <5207>. 10 And not only <3440> [this]; but when Rebecca <4479> also <2532> had conceived <2840> by one <1520>, [even] by our father <3962> Isaac <2464>; 11 (For [the children] being not yet <3380> born <1080>, neither <3366> having done <4238> any <5100> good <0018> or <2228> evil <2556>, that the purpose <4286> of God <2316> according <2596> to election <1589> might stand <3306>, not of works <2041>, but of him that calleth <2564>;) 12 It was said <4483> unto her, The elder <3187> shall serve <1398> the younger <1640>. 13 As it is written <1125>, Jacob <2384> have I loved <0025>, but Esau <2269> have I hated <3404>. 14. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767>? [Is there] unrighteousness <0093> with God <2316>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. 15 For he saith <3004> to Moses <3475>, I will have mercy <1653> on whom <3739> I will have mercy <1653>, and I will have compassion <3627> on whom <3739> I will have compassion <3627>. 16 So <0686> then <0686> [it is] not of him that willeth <2309>, nor <3761> of him that runneth <5143>, but of God <2316> that sheweth <1653> mercy <1653>. 17 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004> unto Pharaoh <5328>, Even for this <5124> same <0846> purpose have I raised <1825> thee up, that I might shew <1731> my power <1411> in thee, and that my name <3686> might be declared <1229> throughout <1722> all <3956> the earth <1093>. 18 Therefore <3767> hath he mercy <1653> on whom <3739> he will <2309> [have mercy], and whom <3739> he will <2309> he hardeneth <4645>. 19 Thou wilt say <2046> then <3767> unto me, Why <5101> doth he yet <2089> find fault <3201>? For who <5101> hath resisted <0436> his will <1013>? 20 Nay <3304> but, O man <0444>, who <5101> art <1488> thou that repliest <0470> against <0470> God <2316>? Shall the thing <4110> formed <4110> say <2046> to him that formed <4111> [it], Why <5101> hast thou made <4160> me thus <3779>? 21 Hath <2192> not the potter <2763> power <1849> over the clay <4081>, of the same <0846> lump <5445> to make <4160> one vessel <4632> unto honour <5092>, and another <3739> unto dishonour <0819>? 22 [What] if <1487> God <2316>, willing <2309> to shew <1731> [his] wrath <3709>, and to make <1107> his power <1415> known <1107>, endured <5342> with much <4183> longsuffering <3115> the vessels <4632> of wrath <3709> fitted <2675> to destruction <0684>: 23 And that he might make <1107> known <1107> the riches <4149> of his glory <1391> on <1909> the vessels <4632> of mercy <1656>, which <3739> he had afore <4282> prepared <4282> unto glory <1391>, 24 Even <2532> us, whom <3739> he hath called <2564>, not of the Jews <2453> only <3440>, but also <2532> of the Gentiles <1484>? 25. As he saith <3004> also <2532> in Osee <5617>, I will call <2564> them my people <2992>, which were not my people <2992>; and her beloved <0025>, which was not beloved <0025>. 26 And it shall come <1511> to pass, [that] in the place <5117> where <3757> it was said <4483> unto them, Ye [are] not my people <2992>; there <1563> shall they be called <2564> the children <5207> of the living <2198> God <2316>. 27 Esaias <2268> also <1161> crieth <2896> concerning <5228> Israel <2474>, Though <1437> the number <0706> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474> be as the sand <0285> of the sea <2281>, a remnant <2640> shall be saved <4982>: 28 For he will finish <4931> the work <3056>, and cut <4932> [it] short <4932> in righteousness <1343>: because <3754> a short <4932> work <3056> will the Lord <2962> make <4160> upon the earth <1093>. 29 And as Esaias <2268> said <4280> before <4280>, Except <1508> the Lord <2962> of Sabaoth <4519> had left <1459> us a seed <4690>, we had been <1096> as Sodoma <4670>, and been made <3666> like <3666> unto Gomorrha <1116>. 30. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767>? That the Gentiles <1484>, which <3588> followed <1377> not after righteousness <1343>, have attained <2638> to righteousness <1343>, even <1161> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of faith <4102>. 31 But Israel <2474>, which followed <1377> after the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>, hath not attained <5348> to the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>. 32 Wherefore <1302>? Because <3754> [they sought it] not by faith <4102>, but as it were by the works <2041> of the law <3551>. For they stumbled <4350> at that stumblingstone <3037> <4348>; 33 As it is written <1125>, Behold <2400>, I lay <5087> in Sion <4622> a stumblingstone <3037> <4348> and rock <4073> of offence <4625>: and whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> on <1909> him shall not be ashamed <2617>. Romans 10 1. Brethren <0080>, my heart's <2588> desire <2107> and prayer <1162> to God <2316> for Israel <2474> is, that they might be saved <4991>. 2 For I bear <3140> them record <3140> that they have <2192> a zeal <2205> of God <2316>, but not according <2596> to knowledge <1922>. 3 For they being ignorant <0050> of God's <2316> righteousness <1343>, and going <2212> about <2212> to establish <2476> their own <2398> righteousness <1343>, have not submitted <5293> themselves unto the righteousness <1343> of God <2316>. 4 For Christ <5547> [is] the end <5056> of the law <3551> for righteousness <1343> to every <3956> one <3956> that believeth <4100>. 5 For Moses <3475> describeth <1125> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of the law <3551>, That the man <0444> which doeth <4160> those <0846> things shall live <2198> by them. 6 But the righteousness <1343> which is of faith <4102> speaketh <3004> on this <3779> wise <3779>, Say <2036> not in thine <4675> heart <2588>, Who <5101> shall ascend <0305> into <1519> heaven <3772>? (that is, to bring <2609> Christ <5547> down <2609> [from above]:) 7 Or <2228>, Who <5101> shall descend <2597> into <1519> the deep <0012>? (that is, to bring <0321> up Christ <5547> again <0321> from the dead <3498>.) 8 But what <5101> saith <3004> it? The word <4487> is nigh <1451> thee, [even] in thy mouth <4750>, and in thy heart <2588>: that is, the word <4487> of faith <4102>, which <3739> we preach <2784>; 9 That if <1437> thou shalt confess <3670> with thy mouth <4750> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and shalt believe <4100> in thine <4675> heart <2588> that God <2316> hath raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>, thou shalt be saved <4982>. 10 For with the heart <2588> man believeth <4100> unto righteousness <1343>; and with the mouth <4750> confession <3670> is made <3670> unto salvation <4991>. 11 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004>, Whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> on <1909> him shall not be ashamed <2617>. 12. For there is no <3756> difference <1293> between the Jew <2453> and the Greek <1672>: for the same <0846> Lord <2962> over all <3956> is rich <4147> unto all <3956> that call <1941> upon him. 13 For whosoever <0302> shall call <1941> upon the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> shall be saved <4982>. 14 How <4459> then <3767> shall they call <1941> on <1941> him in whom <3739> they have not believed <4100>? and how <4459> shall they believe <4100> in him of whom <3739> they have not heard <0191>? and how <4459> shall they hear <0191> without <5565> a preacher <2784>? 15 And how <5613> shall they preach <2784>, except <3362> they be sent <0649>? as it is written <1125>, How beautiful <5611> are the feet <4228> of them that preach <2097> the gospel <2097> of peace <1515>, and bring <2097> glad <2097> tidings <2097> of good <0018> things <0018>! 16 But they have not all <3956> obeyed <5219> the gospel <2098>. For Esaias <2268> saith <3004>, Lord <2962>, who <5101> hath believed <4100> our report <0189>? 17 So <0686> then <0686> faith <4102> [cometh] by hearing <0189>, and hearing <0189> by the word <4487> of God <2316>. 18 But I say <3004>, Have they not <3378> heard <0191>? Yes <3304> verily <3304>, their sound <5353> went <1831> into <1519> all <3956> the earth <1093>, and their words <4487> unto the ends <4009> of the world <3625>. 19 But I say <3004>, Did not <3378> Israel <2474> know <1097>? First <4413> Moses <3475> saith <3004>, I will provoke <3863> you to jealousy <3863> by [them that are] no <3756> people <1484>, [and] by a foolish <0801> nation <1484> I will anger <3949> you. 20 But Esaias <2268> is very <0662> bold <0662>, and saith <3004>, I was found <2147> of them that sought <2212> me not; I was made <1096> manifest <1717> unto them that asked <1905> not after <1905> me. 21 But to Israel <2474> he saith <3004>, All <3650> day <2250> long I have stretched <1600> forth <1600> my hands <5495> unto a disobedient <0544> and gainsaying <0483> people <2992>. Romans 11 1. I say <3004> then <3767>, Hath God <2316> cast <0683> away <0683> his people <2992>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. For I also <2532> am <1510> an Israelite <2475>, of the seed <4690> of Abraham <0011>, [of] the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <0958>. 2 God <2316> hath not cast <0683> away <0683> his people <2992> which <3739> he foreknew <4267>. Wot <1492> ye not what <5101> the scripture <1124> saith <3004> of Elias <2243>? how <5613> he maketh <1793> intercession <1793> to God <2316> against <2596> Israel <2474>, saying <3004>, 3 Lord <2962>, they have killed <0615> thy prophets <4396>, and digged <2679> down <2679> thine <4675> altars <2379>; and I am left <5275> alone <3441>, and they seek <2212> my life <5590>. 4 But what <5101> saith <3004> the answer <5538> of God unto him? I have reserved <2641> to myself <1683> seven <2035> thousand <2035> men <0435>, who <3748> have not bowed <2578> the knee <1119> to [the image of] Baal <0896>. 5 Even <2532> so <3779> then <3767> at <1722> this <3588> present <3568> time <2540> also <2532> there is a remnant <3005> according <2596> to the election <1589> of grace <5485>. 6 And if <1487> by grace <5485>, then [is it] no <3765> more <2089> of works <2041>: otherwise <1893> grace <5485> is no <3765> more <2089> grace <5485>. But if <1487> [it be] of works <2041>, then is it no <3765> more <2089> grace <5485>: otherwise <1893> work <2041> is no <3765> more <2089> work <2041>. 7 What <5101> then <3767>? Israel <2474> hath not obtained <2013> that which <3739> he seeketh <1934> for; but the election <1589> hath obtained <2013> it, and the rest <3062> were blinded <4456> 8 (According as it is written <1125>, God <2316> hath given <1325> them the spirit <4151> of slumber <2659>, eyes <3788> that they should not see <0991>, and ears <3775> that they should not hear <0191>;) unto this <4594> day <2250>. 9 And David <1138> saith <3004>, Let their table <5132> be made <1096> a snare <3803>, and a trap <2339>, and a stumblingblock <4625>, and a recompence <0468> unto them: 10 Let their eyes <3788> be darkened <4654>, that they may not see <0991>, and bow <4781> down <4781> their back <3577> alway <1275>. 11 I say <3004> then <3767>, Have they stumbled <4417> that they should fall <4098>? God <1096> forbid <1096>: but [rather] through their fall <3900> salvation <4991> [is come] unto the Gentiles <1484>, for to provoke <3863> them to jealousy <3863>. 12 Now <1161> if <1487> the fall <3900> of them [be] the riches <4149> of the world <2889>, and the diminishing <2275> of them the riches <4149> of the Gentiles <1484>; how <4214> much <3123> more <3588> their fulness <4138>? 13 For I speak <3004> to you Gentiles <1484>, inasmuch <3745> as I am <1510> the apostle <0652> of the Gentiles <1484>, I magnify <1392> mine <3450> office <1248>: 14 If <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> I may provoke <3863> to emulation <3863> [them which are] my flesh <4561>, and might save <4982> some <5100> of them. 15 For if <1487> the casting <0580> away <0580> of them [be] the reconciling <2643> of the world <2889>, what <5101> [shall] the receiving <4356> [of them be], but life <2222> from the dead <3498>? 16 For if <1487> the firstfruit <0536> [be] holy <0040>, the lump <5445> [is] also <2532> [holy]: and if <1487> the root <4491> [be] holy <0040>, so <2532> [are] the branches <2798>. 17 And if <1487> some <5100> of the branches <2798> be broken <1575> off <1575>, and thou, being <5607> a wild <0065> olive <0065> tree <0065>, wert graffed <1461> in among <1722> them, and with them partakest <4791> of the root <4491> and fatness <4096> of the olive <1636> tree; 18 Boast <2620> not against <2620> the branches <2798>. But if <1487> thou boast, thou bearest <0941> not the root <4491>, but the root <4491> thee. 19 Thou wilt say <2046> then <3767>, The branches <2798> were broken <1575> off <1575>, that I might be graffed <1461> in. 20 Well <2573>; because of unbelief <0570> they were broken <1575> off <1575>, and thou standest <2476> by faith <4102>. Be not highminded <5309>, but fear <5399>: 21 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not the natural <5449> branches <2798>, [take heed] lest <3381> he also <3761> spare <5339> not thee. 22 Behold <1492> therefore <3767> the goodness <5544> and severity <0663> of God <2316>: on <1909> them which fell <4098>, severity <0663>; but toward <1909> thee, goodness <5544>, if <1437> thou continue <1961> in [his] goodness <5544>: otherwise <1893> thou also <2532> shalt be cut <1581> off <1581>. 23 And they also <1161>, if <3362> they abide <1961> not <3362> still in unbelief <0570>, shall be graffed <1461> in: for God <2316> is able <1415> to graff <1461> them in again <3825>. 24 For if <1487> thou wert cut <1581> out of the olive <0065> tree <0065> which is wild <0065> by nature <5449>, and wert graffed <1461> contrary <3844> to nature <5449> into <1519> a good <2565> olive <2565> tree <2565>: how <4214> much <4214> more <3123> shall these <3778>, which be the natural <5449> [branches], be graffed <1461> into their own <2398> olive <1636> tree? 25 For I would <2309> not, brethren <0080>, that ye should be ignorant <0050> of this <5124> mystery <3466>, lest <3361> ye should be wise <5429> in your <1438> own <1438> conceits <1433>; that blindness <4457> in part <3313> is happened <1096> to Israel <2474>, until <0891> the fulness <4138> of the Gentiles <1484> be come <1525> in. 26 And so <3779> all <3956> Israel <2474> shall be saved <4982>: as it is written <1125>, There shall come <2240> out of Sion <4622> the Deliverer <4506>, and shall turn <0654> away <0654> ungodliness <0763> from Jacob <2384>: 27 For this <3778> [is] my covenant <1242> unto them, when <3752> I shall take <0851> away <0851> their sins <0266>. 28 As concerning <2596> the gospel <2098>, [they are] enemies <2190> for your <5209> sakes: but as touching <2596> the election <1589>, [they are] beloved <0027> for the fathers <3962>' sakes. 29 For the gifts <5486> and calling <2821> of God <2316> [are] without <0278> repentance <0278>. 30 For as ye in times <4218> past have not believed <0544> God <2316>, yet have now <3568> obtained <1653> mercy <1653> through their unbelief <0543>: 31 Even so <3779> have these <3778> also <2532> now <3568> not believed <0544>, that through your <5212> mercy <1656> they also <2532> may obtain <1653> mercy <1653>. 32 For God <2316> hath concluded <4788> them all <3956> in unbelief <0543>, that he might have mercy <1653> upon all <3956>. 33. O the depth <0899> of the riches <4149> both <2532> of the wisdom <4678> and knowledge <1108> of God <2316>! how <5613> unsearchable <0419> [are] his judgments <2917>, and his ways <3598> past <0421> finding <0421> out! 34 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind <3563> of the Lord <2962>? or <2228> who <5101> hath been <1096> his counsellor <4825>? 35 Or <2228> who <5101> hath first <4272> given <4272> to him, and it shall be recompensed <0467> unto him again <0467>? 36 For of him, and through <1223> him, and to him, [are] all <3956> things: to whom <0846> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. Romans 12 1. I beseech <3870> you therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, by the mercies <3628> of God <2316>, that ye present <3936> your <5216> bodies <4983> a living <2198> sacrifice <2378>, holy <0040>, acceptable <2101> unto God <2316>, [which is] your <5216> reasonable <3050> service <2999>. 2 And be not conformed <4964> to this <5129> world <0165>: but be ye transformed <3339> by the renewing <0342> of your <5216> mind <3563>, that ye may prove <1381> what <5101> [is] that good <0018>, and acceptable <2101>, and perfect <5046>, will <2307> of God <2316>. 3 For I say <3004>, through <1223> the grace <5485> given <1325> unto me, to every <3956> man that is among <1722> you, not to think <5252> [of himself] more <3844> highly <5252> than he ought <1163> to think <5426>; but to think <5426> soberly <4993>, according as God <2316> hath dealt <3307> to every <1538> man the measure <3358> of faith <4102>. 4 For as <2509> we have <2192> many <4183> members <3196> in one <1520> body <4983>, and all <3956> members <3196> have <2192> not the same <0846> office <4234>: 5 So <3779> we, [being] many <4183>, are one <1520> body <4983> in Christ <5547>, and every <2596> one <1520> members <3196> one <0240> of another <0240>. 6 Having <2192> then <1161> gifts <5486> differing <1313> according <2596> to the grace <5485> that is given <1325> to us, whether <1535> prophecy <4394>, [let us prophesy] according <2596> to the proportion <0356> of faith <4102>; 7 Or <1535> ministry <1248>, [let us wait] on <1722> [our] ministering <1248>: or <1535> he that teacheth <1321>, on <1722> teaching <1319>; 8 Or <1535> he that exhorteth <3870>, on <1722> exhortation <3874>: he that giveth <3330>, [let him do it] with simplicity <0572>; he that ruleth <4291>, with diligence <4710>; he that sheweth <1653> mercy <1653>, with cheerfulness <2432>. 9 [Let] love <0026> be without <0505> dissimulation <0505>. Abhor <0655> that which is evil <4190>; cleave <2853> to that which is good <0018>. 10 [Be] kindly <5387> affectioned <5387> one <0240> to another <0240> with brotherly <5360> love <5360>; in honour <5092> preferring <4285> one <0240> another <0240>; 11 Not slothful <3636> in business <4710>; fervent <2204> in spirit <4151>; serving <1398> the Lord <2962>; 12 Rejoicing <5463> in hope <1680>; patient <5278> in tribulation <2347>; continuing <4342> instant <4342> in prayer <4335>; 13 Distributing <2841> to the necessity <5532> of saints <0040>; given <1377> to hospitality <5381>. 14 Bless <2127> them which persecute <1377> you: bless <2127>, and curse <2672> not. 15 Rejoice <5463> with them that do rejoice <5463>, and weep <2799> with them that weep <2799>. 16 [Be] of the same <0846> mind <5426> one <0240> toward <1519> another <0240>. Mind <5426> not high <5308> things, but condescend <4879> to men of low <5011> estate. Be not wise <5429> in your <5216> own <1438> conceits <1433>. 17 Recompense <0591> to no <3367> man <3367> evil <2556> for evil <2556>. Provide <4306> things honest <2570> in the sight <1799> of all <3956> men <0444>. 18 If <1487> it be possible <1415>, as much <3588> as lieth in you, live <1514> peaceably <1514> with all <3956> men <0444>. 19 Dearly beloved <0027>, avenge <1556> not yourselves <1438>, but [rather] give <1325> place <5117> unto wrath <3709>: for it is written <1125>, Vengeance <1557> [is] mine <1698>; I will repay <0467>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>. 20 Therefore <3767> if <1437> thine <4675> enemy <2190> hunger <3983>, feed <5595> him; if <1437> he thirst <1372>, give <4222> him drink <4222>: for in so <5124> doing <4160> thou shalt heap <4987> coals <0440> of fire <4442> on <1909> his head <2776>. 21 Be not overcome <3528> of evil <2556>, but overcome <3528> evil <2556> with good <0018>. Romans 13 1. Let every <3956> soul <5590> be subject <5293> unto the higher <5242> powers <1849>. For there is no <3756> power <1849> but of God <2316>: the powers <1849> that be are ordained <5021> of God <2316>. 2 Whosoever <3588> therefore <5620> resisteth <0498> the power <1849>, resisteth <0436> the ordinance <1296> of God <2316>: and they that resist <0436> shall receive <2983> to themselves <1438> damnation <2917>. 3 For rulers <0758> are not a terror <5401> to good <0018> works <2041>, but to the evil <2556>. Wilt <2309> thou then <1161> not be afraid <5399> of the power <1849>? do <4160> that which is good <0018>, and thou shalt have <2192> praise <1868> of the same <0846>: 4 For he is the minister <1249> of God <2316> to thee for good <0018>. But if <1437> thou do <4160> that which is evil <2556>, be afraid <5399>; for he beareth <5409> not the sword <3162> in vain <1500>: for he is the minister <1249> of God <2316>, a revenger <1558> to [execute] wrath <3709> upon him that doeth <4238> evil <2556>. 5 Wherefore <1352> [ye] must needs <0318> be subject <5293>, not only <3440> for wrath <3709>, but also <2532> for conscience <4893> sake. 6 For for this <5124> cause <1223> pay <5055> ye tribute <5411> also <2532>: for they are God's <2316> ministers <3011>, attending <4342> continually <4342> upon this <5124> very <0846> thing. 7. Render <0591> therefore <3767> to all <3956> their dues <3782>: tribute <5411> to whom <3588> tribute <5411> [is due]; custom <5056> to whom <3588> custom <5056>; fear <5401> to whom <3588> fear <5401>; honour <5092> to whom <3588> honour <5092>. 8 Owe <3784> no <3367> man <3367> any <3367> thing <3367>, but to love <0025> one <0240> another <0240>: for he that loveth <0025> another <2087> hath fulfilled <4137> the law <3551>. 9 For this <3588>, Thou shalt not commit <3431> adultery <3431>, Thou shalt not kill <5407>, Thou shalt not steal <2813>, Thou shalt not bear <5576> false <5576> witness <5576>, Thou shalt not covet <1937>; and if <1487> [there be] any <1536> other <2087> commandment <1785>, it is briefly <0346> comprehended <0346> in this <5129> saying <3056>, namely <1722>, Thou shalt love <0025> thy neighbour <4139> as thyself <1438>. 10 Love <0026> worketh <2038> no <3756> ill <2556> to his neighbour <4139>: therefore <3767> love <0026> [is] the fulfilling <4138> of the law <3551>. 11. And that, knowing <1492> the time <2540>, that now <2035> [it is] high time <5610> to awake <1453> out of sleep <5258>: for now <3568> [is] our salvation <4991> nearer <1452> than <2228> when <3753> we believed <4100>. 12 The night <3571> is far spent <4298>, the day <2250> is at <1448> hand <1448>: let us therefore <3767> cast <0659> off <0659> the works <2041> of darkness <4655>, and let us put <1746> on <1746> the armour <3696> of light <5457>. 13 Let us walk <4043> honestly <2156>, as in the day <2250>; not in rioting <2970> and drunkenness <3178>, not in chambering <2845> and wantonness <0766>, not in strife <2054> and envying <2205>. 14 But put <1746> ye on <1746> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and make <4160> not provision <4307> for the flesh <4561>, to [fulfil] the lusts <1939> [thereof]. Romans 14 1. Him that is weak <0770> in the faith <4102> receive <4355> ye, [but] not to doubtful <1261> disputations <1253>. 2 For one <3739> believeth <4100> that he may eat <5315> all <3956> things: another <3739>, who <3588> is weak <0770>, eateth <2068> herbs <3001>. 3 Let not him that eateth <2068> despise <1848> him that eateth <2068> not; and let not him which eateth <2068> not judge <2919> him that eateth <2068>: for God <2316> hath received <4355> him. 4 Who <5101> art <1488> thou that judgest <2919> another <0245> man's <0245> servant <3610>? to his own <2398> master <2962> he standeth <4739> or <2228> falleth <4098>. Yea <1161>, he shall be holden up: for God <2316> is able <1415> to make <2476> him stand <2476>. 5 One <3303> man esteemeth <2919> one day <2250> above <3844> another: another <3739> esteemeth <2919> every <3956> day <2250> [alike]. Let every <1538> man be fully <4135> persuaded <4135> in his own <2398> mind <3563>. 6 He that regardeth <5426> the day <2250>, regardeth <5426> [it] unto the Lord <2962>; and he that regardeth <5426> not the day <2250>, to the Lord <2962> he doth not regard <5426> [it]. He that eateth <2068>, eateth <2068> to the Lord <2962>, for he giveth God <2316> thanks <2168>; and he that eateth <2068> not, to the Lord <2962> he eateth <2068> not, and giveth God <2316> thanks <2168>. 7 For none <3762> of us liveth <2198> to himself <1438>, and no <3762> man <3762> dieth <0599> to himself <1438>. 8 For whether <5037> we live <2198>, we live <2198> unto the Lord <2962>; and whether <5037> we die <0599>, we die <0599> unto the Lord <2962>: whether <5037> we live <2198> therefore <3767>, or <5037> die <0599>, we are the Lord's <2962>. 9 For to this <5124> end Christ <5547> both <2532> died <0599>, and rose <0450>, and revived <0326>, that he might be Lord <2961> both <2532> of the dead <3498> and living <2198>. 10 But why <5101> dost thou judge <2919> thy brother <0080>? or <2228> why <5101> dost thou set <1848> at <1848> nought <1848> thy brother <0080>? for we shall all <3956> stand <3936> before <3936> the judgment <0968> seat <0968> of Christ <5547>. 11 For it is written <1125>, [As] I live <2198>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, every <3956> knee <1119> shall bow <2578> to me, and every <3956> tongue <1100> shall confess <1843> to God <2316>. 12 So <0686> then <0686> every <1538> one of us shall give <1325> account <3056> of himself <1438> to God <2316>. 13 Let us not therefore <3767> judge <2919> one <0240> another <0240> any more <3371>: but judge <2919> this <5124> rather <3123>, that no <3361> man put <5087> a stumblingblock <4348> or <2228> an occasion <4625> to fall <4625> in [his] brother's <0080> way. 14 I know <1492>, and am persuaded <3982> by the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, that [there is] nothing <3762> unclean <2839> of itself <1438>: but to him that esteemeth <3049> any <5100> thing to be unclean <2839>, to him [it is] unclean <2839>. 15 But if <1487> thy brother <0080> be grieved <3076> with [thy] meat <1033>, now <3765> walkest <4043> thou not charitably <0026>. Destroy <0622> not him with thy meat <1033>, for whom <3739> Christ <5547> died <0599>. 16 Let not then <3767> your <5216> good <0018> be evil spoken <0987> of: 17 For the kingdom <0932> of God <2316> is not meat <1035> and drink <4213>; but righteousness <1343>, and peace <1515>, and joy <5479> in the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>. 18 For he that in these <5125> things serveth <1398> Christ <5547> [is] acceptable <2101> to God <2316>, and approved <1384> of men <0444>. 19 Let us therefore <3767> follow <1377> after <1377> the things which make <3753> for peace <1515>, and things wherewith one <0240> may edify <3619> another <0240>. 20 For meat <1033> destroy <2647> not the work <2041> of God <2316>. All <3956> things indeed <3303> [are] pure <2513>; but [it is] evil <2556> for that man <0444> who <3588> eateth <2068> with offence <4348>. 21 [It is] good <2570> neither <3361> to eat <5315> flesh <2907>, nor <3366> to drink <4095> wine <3631>, nor <3366> [any thing] whereby <3739> thy brother <0080> stumbleth <4350>, or <2228> is offended <4624>, or <2228> is made <0770> weak <0770>. 22 Hast <2192> thou faith <4102>? have <2192> [it] to thyself <4572> before <1799> God <2316>. Happy <3107> [is] he that condemneth <4314> not himself <1438> in that thing which <3739> he alloweth <1381>. 23 And he that doubteth <1252> is damned <2632> if <1437> he eat <5315>, because <3754> [he eateth] not of faith <4102>: for whatsoever <3956> [is] not of faith <4102> is sin <0266>. Romans 15 1. We then <1161> that are strong <1415> ought <3784> to bear <0941> the infirmities <0771> of the weak <0102>, and not to please <0700> ourselves <1438>. 2 Let every <1538> one of us please <0700> [his] neighbour <4139> for [his] good <0018> to edification <3619>. 3 For even <2532> Christ <5547> pleased <0700> not himself <1438>; but, as it is written <1125>, The reproaches <3678> of them that reproached <3679> thee fell <1968> on <1909> me. 4 For whatsoever <3745> things were written <4270> aforetime <4270> were written <4270> for our <2251> learning <1319>, that we through <1223> patience <5281> and comfort <3874> of the scriptures <1124> might have <2192> hope <1680>. 5. Now <1161> the God <2316> of patience <5281> and consolation <3874> grant <1325> you to be likeminded <5426> one <0240> toward <1722> another <0240> according <2596> to Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 6 That ye may with one <3661> mind <3661> [and] one <1520> mouth <4750> glorify <1392> God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 7. Wherefore <1352> receive <4355> ye one <0240> another <0240>, as Christ <5547> also <2532> received <4355> us to the glory <1391> of God <2316>. 8 Now <1161> I say <3004> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> was a minister <1249> of the circumcision <4061> for the truth <0225> of God <2316>, to confirm <0950> the promises <1860> [made] unto the fathers <3962>: 9 And that the Gentiles <1484> might glorify <1392> God <2316> for [his] mercy <1656>; as it is written <1125>, For this <5124> cause <1223> I will confess <1843> to thee among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, and sing <5567> unto thy name <3686>. 10 And again <3825> he saith <3004>, Rejoice <2165>, ye Gentiles <1484>, with his people <2992>. 11 And again <3825>, Praise <0134> the Lord <2962>, all <3956> ye Gentiles <1484>; and laud <1867> him, all <3956> ye people <2992>. 12 And again <3825>, Esaias <2268> saith <3004>, There shall be a root <4491> of Jesse <2421>, and he that shall rise <0450> to reign <0757> over the Gentiles <1484>; in him shall the Gentiles <1484> trust <1679>. 13. Now <1161> the God <2316> of hope <1680> fill <4137> you with all <3956> joy <5479> and peace <1515> in believing <4100>, that ye may abound <4052> in hope <1680>, through <1722> the power <1411> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>. 14. And I myself also <2532> am persuaded <3982> of you, my brethren <0080>, that ye also <2532> are full <3324> of goodness <0019>, filled <4137> with all <3956> knowledge <1108>, able <1410> also <2532> to admonish <3560> one <0240> another <0240>. 15 Nevertheless <1161>, brethren <0080>, I have written <1125> the more <5112> boldly <5112> unto you in some <3313> sort <3313>, as putting <1878> you in mind <1878>, because <1223> of the grace <5485> that is given <1325> to me of God <2316>, 16 That I should be the minister <3011> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to the Gentiles <1484>, ministering <2418> the gospel <2098> of God <2316>, that the offering <4376> up of the Gentiles <1484> might be acceptable <2144>, being sanctified <0037> by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>. 17. I have <2192> therefore <3767> whereof I may glory <2746> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> in those <3588> things which pertain to God <2316>. 18 For I will not dare <5111> to speak <2980> of any <5100> of those things which <3739> Christ <5547> hath not wrought <2716> by me, to make <1519> the Gentiles <1484> obedient <5218>, by word <3056> and deed <2041>, 19 Through <1722> mighty <1411> signs <4592> and wonders <5059>, by the power <1411> of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>; so <5620> that from Jerusalem <2419>, and round <2945> about <2945> unto <3360> Illyricum <2437>, I have fully <4137> preached <4137> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>. 20 Yea <1161>, so <3779> have I strived <5389> to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, not where <3699> Christ <5547> was named <3687>, lest <3361> I should build <3618> upon another <0245> man's <0245> foundation <2310>: 21 But as it is written <1125>, To whom <3739> he was not spoken <0312> of, they shall see <3700>: and they that have not heard <0191> shall understand <4920>. 22. For which <1352> cause <1352> also <2532> I have been much <4183> hindered <1465> from coming <2064> to you. 23 But now <3570> having <2192> no <3371> more <3371> place <5117> in these <5125> parts <2824>, and having <2192> a great <1974> desire <1974> these many <4183> years <2094> to come <2064> unto you; 24 Whensoever <1437> I take my journey <4198> into <1519> Spain <4681>, I will come <2064> to you: for I trust <1679> to see <2300> you in my journey <1279>, and to be brought <4311> on my way <4311> thitherward <1563> by you, if <1437> first <4412> I be somewhat <3313> filled <1705> with your <5216> [company]. 25 But now <3570> I go <4198> unto Jerusalem <2419> to minister <1247> unto the saints <0040>. 26 For it hath pleased <2106> them of Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <0882> to make <4160> a certain <5100> contribution <2842> for the poor <4434> saints <0040> which <3588> are at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>. 27 It hath pleased <2106> them verily <1063>; and their debtors <3781> they are. For if <1487> the Gentiles <1484> have been made <2841> partakers <2841> of their spiritual <4152> things, their duty <3784> is also <2532> to minister <3008> unto them in carnal <4559> things. 28 When therefore <3767> I have performed <2005> this <5124>, and have sealed <4972> to them this <5126> fruit <2590>, I will come <0565> by you into <1519> Spain <4681>. 29 And I am sure <1492> that, when I come <2064> unto you, I shall come <2064> in the fulness <4138> of the blessing <2129> of the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>. 30. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, for the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ's <5547> sake, and for the love <0026> of the Spirit <4151>, that ye strive <4865> together <4865> with me in [your] prayers <4335> to God <2316> for me; 31 That I may be delivered <4506> from them that do not believe <0544> in Judaea <2449>; and that my service <1248> which <3588> [I have] for Jerusalem <2419> may be accepted <2144> of the saints <0040>; 32 That I may come <2064> unto you with joy <5479> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, and may with you be refreshed <4875>. 33 Now <1161> the God <2316> of peace <1515> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. Romans 16 1. I commend <4921> unto you Phebe <5402> our sister <0079>, which is a servant <1249> of the church <1577> which <3588> is at <1722> Cenchrea <2747>: 2 That ye receive <4327> her in the Lord <2962>, as becometh <0516> saints <0040>, and that ye assist <3936> her in whatsoever <0302> business <4229> she hath need <5535> of you: for she hath been <1096> a succourer <4368> of many <4183>, and of myself <0846> also <2532>. 3 Greet <0782> Priscilla <4252> and Aquila <0207> my helpers <4904> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 4 Who <3748> have for my life <5590> laid <5294> down <5294> their own <1438> necks <5137>: unto whom <3739> not only <3441> I give thanks <2168>, but also <2532> all <3956> the churches <1577> of the Gentiles <1484>. 5 Likewise <2532> [greet] the church <1577> that is in their house <3624>. Salute <0782> my wellbeloved <0027> Epaenetus <1866>, who <3739> is the firstfruits <0536> of Achaia <0882> unto Christ <5547>. 6 Greet <0782> Mary <3137>, who <3748> bestowed <2872> much <4183> labour <2872> on <1519> us. 7 Salute <0782> Andronicus <0408> and Junia <2458>, my kinsmen <4773>, and my fellowprisoners <4869>, who <3748> are of note <1978> among <1722> the apostles <0652>, who <3739> also <2532> were in Christ <5547> before <4253> me. 8 Greet <0782> Amplias <0291> my beloved <0027> in the Lord <2962>. 9 Salute <0782> Urbane <3773>, our helper <4904> in Christ <5547>, and Stachys <4720> my beloved <0027>. 10 Salute <0782> Apelles <0559> approved <1384> in Christ <5547>. Salute <0782> them which are of Aristobulus <0711>' [household]. 11 Salute <0782> Herodion <2267> my kinsman <4773>. Greet <0782> them that be of the [household] of Narcissus <3488>, which <3588> are in the Lord <2962>. 12 Salute <0782> Tryphena <5170> and Tryphosa <5173>, who <3588> labour <2872> in the Lord <2962>. Salute <0782> the beloved <0027> Persis <4069>, which <3748> laboured <2872> much <4183> in the Lord <2962>. 13 Salute <0782> Rufus <4504> chosen <1588> in the Lord <2962>, and his mother <3384> and mine <1700>. 14 Salute <0782> Asyncritus <0799>, Phlegon <5393>, Hermas <2057>, Patrobas <3969>, Hermes <2060>, and the brethren <0080> which are with them. 15 Salute <0782> Philologus <5378>, and Julia <2456>, Nereus <3517>, and his sister <0079>, and Olympas <3652>, and all <3956> the saints <0040> which are with them. 16 Salute <0782> one <0240> another <0240> with an holy <0040> kiss <5370>. The churches <1577> of Christ <5547> salute <0782> you. 17. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, mark <4648> them which cause <4160> divisions <1370> and offences <4625> contrary <3844> to the doctrine <1322> which <3739> ye have learned <3129>; and avoid <1578> them. 18 For they that are such <5108> serve <1398> not our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, but their own <1438> belly <2836>; and by good <5542> words <5542> and fair <2129> speeches <2129> deceive <1818> the hearts <2588> of the simple <0172>. 19 For your <5216> obedience <5218> is come <0864> abroad <0864> unto all <3956> [men]. I am glad <5463> therefore <3767> on <1909> your <5213> behalf <1909>: but yet <1161> I would <2309> have you wise <4680> unto that which is good <0018>, and simple <0185> concerning <1519> evil <2556>. 20 And the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall bruise <4937> Satan <4567> under <5259> your <5216> feet <4228> shortly <5034>. The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you. Amen <0281>. 21. Timotheus <5095> my workfellow <4904>, and Lucius <3066>, and Jason <2394>, and Sosipater <4989>, my kinsmen <4773>, salute <0782> you. 22 I Tertius <5060>, who <3588> wrote <1125> [this] epistle <1992>, salute <0782> you in the Lord <2962>. 23 Gaius <1050> mine <3450> host <3581>, and of the whole <3650> church <1577>, saluteth <0782> you. Erastus <2037> the chamberlain <3623> of the city <4172> saluteth <0782> you, and Quartus <2890> a brother <0080>. 24 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. 25. Now <1161> to him that is of power <1410> to stablish <4741> you according <2596> to my gospel <2098>, and the preaching <2782> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, according <2596> to the revelation <0602> of the mystery <3466>, which was kept secret <4601> since the world <0166> began, 26 But now <3568> is made <5319> manifest <5319>, and by the scriptures <1124> of the prophets <4397>, according <2596> to the commandment <2003> of the everlasting <0166> God <2316>, made <1107> known <1107> to all <3956> nations <1484> for the obedience <5218> of faith <4102>: 27 To God <2316> only <3441> wise <4680>, [be] glory <1391> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 1Corinthians 1 1. Paul <3972>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> through <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Sosthenes <4988> [our] brother <0080>, 2 Unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is at <1722> Corinth <2882>, to them that are sanctified <0037> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, called <2822> [to be] saints <0040>, with all <3956> that in every <3956> place <5117> call <1941> upon the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>, both <5037> theirs and ours <2257>: 3 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 4 I thank <2168> my God <2316> always <3842> on <4012> your <5216> behalf <4012>, for the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> you by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; 5 That in every <3956> thing ye are enriched <4148> by him, in all <3956> utterance <3056>, and [in] all <3956> knowledge <1108>; 6 Even <2531> as the testimony <3142> of Christ <5547> was confirmed <0950> in you: 7 So <5620> that ye come <5302> behind <5302> in no <3367> gift <5486>; waiting <0553> for the coming <0602> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 8 Who <3739> shall also <2532> confirm <0950> you unto the end <5056>, [that ye may be] blameless <0410> in the day <2250> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 9 God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, by whom <3739> ye were called <2564> unto the fellowship <2842> of his Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. 10. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, by the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye all <3956> speak <3004> the same <0846> thing, and [that] there be no <3361> divisions <4978> among <1722> you; but [that] ye be perfectly <2675> joined <2675> together <2675> in the same <0846> mind <3563> and in the same <0846> judgment <1106>. 11 For it hath been declared <1213> unto me of you, my brethren <0080>, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe <5514>, that there are contentions <2054> among <1722> you. 12 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <3004>, that every <1538> one of you saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and I of Apollos <0625>; and I of Cephas <2786>; and I of Christ <5547>. 13 Is Christ <5547> divided <3307>? was Paul <3972> crucified <4717> for you? or <2228> were ye baptized <0907> in the name <3686> of Paul <3972>? 14. I thank <2168> God <2316> that I baptized <0907> none <3762> of you, but Crispus <2921> and Gaius <1050>; 15 Lest <3361> any <3762> should say <2036> that I had baptized <0907> in mine <1699> own name <3686>. 16 And I baptized <0907> also <2532> the household <3624> of Stephanas <4734>: besides <3063>, I know <1492> not whether <1487> I baptized <0907> any <1536> other <0243>. 17. For Christ <5547> sent <0649> me not to baptize <0907>, but to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>: not with wisdom <4678> of words <3056>, lest <3361> the cross <4716> of Christ <5547> should be made <2758> of none <2758> effect <2758>. 18 For the preaching <3056> of the cross <4716> is to them that perish <0622> foolishness <3472>; but unto us which are saved <4982> it is the power <1411> of God <2316>. 19 For it is written <1125>, I will destroy <0622> the wisdom <4678> of the wise <4680>, and will bring <0114> to nothing <0114> the understanding <4907> of the prudent <4908>. 20 Where <4226> [is] the wise <4680>? where <4226> [is] the scribe <1122>? where <4226> [is] the disputer <4804> of this <5127> world <0165>? hath not God <2316> made <3471> foolish <3471> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889>? 21 For after <1894> that in the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> the world <2889> by wisdom <4678> knew <1097> not God <2316>, it pleased <2106> God <2316> by the foolishness <3472> of preaching <2782> to save <4982> them that believe <4100>. 22 For the Jews <2453> require <0154> a sign <4592>, and the Greeks <1672> seek <2212> after wisdom <4678>: 23 But we preach <2784> Christ <5547> crucified <4717>, unto the Jews <2453> a stumblingblock <4625>, and unto the Greeks <1672> foolishness <3472>; 24 But unto them which <3588> are called <2822>, both <5037> Jews <2453> and Greeks <1672>, Christ <5547> the power <1411> of God <2316>, and the wisdom <4678> of God <2316>. 25 Because <3754> the foolishness <3474> of God <2316> is wiser <4680> than men <0444>; and the weakness <0772> of God <2316> is stronger <2478> than men <0444>. 26 For ye see <0991> your <5216> calling <2821>, brethren <0080>, how that not many <4183> wise <4680> men after <2596> the flesh <4561>, not many <4183> mighty <1415>, not many <4183> noble <2104>, [are called]: 27 But God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the foolish <3474> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the wise <4680>; and God <2316> hath chosen <1586> the weak <0772> things of the world <2889> to confound <2617> the things which are mighty <2478>; 28 And base <0036> things of the world <2889>, and things which are despised <1848>, hath God <2316> chosen <1586>, [yea], and things which <3588> are not, to bring <2673> to nought <2673> things that are: 29 That no <3956> flesh <4561> should glory <2744> in his presence <1799>. 30 But of him are ye in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3739> of God <2316> is made <1096> unto us wisdom <4678>, and righteousness <1343>, and sanctification <0038>, and redemption <0629>: 31 That, according <2531> as it is written <1125>, He that glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <2962>. 1Corinthians 2 1. And I, brethren <0080>, when I came <2064> to you, came <2064> not with excellency <5247> of speech <3056> or <2228> of wisdom <4678>, declaring <2605> unto you the testimony <3142> of God <2316>. 2 For I determined <2919> not to know <1492> any <5100> thing among <1722> you, save <1508> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and him crucified <4717>. 3 And I was with you in weakness <0769>, and in fear <5401>, and in much <4183> trembling <5156>. 4 And my speech <3056> and my preaching <2782> [was] not with enticing <3981> words <3056> of man's <0442> wisdom <4678>, but in demonstration <0585> of the Spirit <4151> and of power <1411>: 5 That your <5216> faith <4102> should not stand <1510> in the wisdom <4678> of men <0444>, but in the power <1411> of God <2316>. 6. Howbeit we speak <2980> wisdom <4678> among <1722> them that are perfect <5046>: yet <1161> not the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <0165>, nor <3761> of the princes <0758> of this <5127> world <0165>, that come <2673> to nought <2673>: 7 But we speak <2980> the wisdom <4678> of God <2316> in a mystery <3466>, [even] the hidden <0613> [wisdom], which <3739> God <2316> ordained <4309> before <4253> the world <0165> unto our glory <1391>: 8 Which <3739> none <3762> of the princes <0758> of this <5127> world <0165> knew <1097>: for had they known <1097> [it], they would not have crucified <4717> the Lord <2962> of glory <1391>. 9 But as it is written <1125>, Eye <3788> hath not seen <1492>, nor <3756> ear <3775> heard <0191>, neither <3756> have entered <0305> into <1909> the heart <2588> of man <0444>, the things which <3739> God <2316> hath prepared <2090> for them that love <0025> him. 10 But God <2316> hath revealed <0601> [them] unto us by his Spirit <4151>: for the Spirit <4151> searcheth <2045> all <3956> things, yea <2532>, the deep <0899> things of God <2316>. 11 For what <5101> man <0444> knoweth <1492> the things of a man <0444>, save <1508> the spirit <4151> of man <0444> which <3588> is in him? even <2532> so <3779> the things of God <2316> knoweth <1492> no <3762> man <3762>, but the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>. 12 Now <1161> we have received <2983>, not the spirit <4151> of the world <2889>, but the spirit <4151> which <3588> is of God <2316>; that we might know <1492> the things that are freely given <5483> to us of God <2316>. 13 Which <3739> things also <2532> we speak <2980>, not in the words <3056> which man's <0442> wisdom <4678> teacheth <1318>, but which the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> teacheth <1318>; comparing <4793> spiritual <4152> things with spiritual <4152>. 14 But the natural <5591> man <0444> receiveth <1209> not the things of the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>: for they are foolishness <3472> unto him: neither <3756> can <1410> he know <1097> [them], because <3754> they are spiritually <4153> discerned <0350>. 15 But he that is spiritual <4152> judgeth <0350> all <3956> things, yet <1161> he himself <0846> is judged <0350> of no <3762> man <3762>. 16 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind <3563> of the Lord <2962>, that he may instruct <4822> him? But we have <2192> the mind <3563> of Christ <5547>. 1Corinthians 3 1. And I, brethren <0080>, could <1410> not speak <2980> unto you as unto spiritual <4152>, but as unto carnal <4559>, [even] as unto babes <3516> in Christ <5547>. 2 I have fed <4222> you with milk <1051>, and not with meat <1033>: for hitherto <3768> ye were not able <1410> [to bear it], neither <3777> yet <2089> now <3568> are ye able <1410>. 3 For ye are yet <2089> carnal <4559>: for whereas <3699> [there is] among <1722> you envying <2205>, and strife <2054>, and divisions <1370>, are ye not carnal <4559>, and walk <4043> as men <0444>? 4 For while <3752> one <5100> saith <3004>, I am <1510> of Paul <3972>; and another <2087>, I [am] of Apollos <0625>; are ye not carnal <4559>? 5. Who <5101> then <3767> is Paul <3972>, and who <5101> [is] Apollos <0625>, but ministers <1249> by whom <3739> ye believed <4100>, even <2532> as the Lord <2962> gave <1325> to every <1538> man? 6 I have planted <5452>, Apollos <0625> watered <4222>; but God <2316> gave the increase <0837>. 7 So <5620> then neither <3777> is he that planteth <5452> any <5100> thing, neither <3777> he that watereth <4222>; but God <2316> that giveth the increase <0837>. 8 Now <1161> he that planteth <5452> and he that watereth <4222> are one <1520>: and every <1538> man shall receive <2983> his own <2398> reward <3408> according <2596> to his own <2398> labour <2873>. 9 For we are labourers <4904> together <4904> with God <2316>: ye are God's <2316> husbandry <1091>, [ye are] God's <2316> building <3619>. 10 According <2596> to the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> unto me, as a wise <4680> masterbuilder <0753>, I have laid <5087> the foundation <2310>, and another <0243> buildeth <2026> thereon <2026>. But let every <1538> man take heed <0991> how <4459> he buildeth <2026> thereupon <2026>. 11. For other <0243> foundation <2310> can <1410> no <3762> man <3762> lay <5087> than <3844> that is laid <2749>, which <3739> is Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 12 Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man build <2026> upon this <5126> foundation <2310> gold <5557>, silver <0696>, precious <5093> stones <3037>, wood <3586>, hay <5528>, stubble <2562>; 13 Every <1538> man's work <2041> shall be made <1096> manifest <5318>: for the day <2250> shall declare <1213> it, because <3754> it shall be revealed <0601> by fire <4442>; and the fire <4442> shall try <1381> every <1538> man's work <2041> of what <3697> sort <3697> it is. 14 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> abide <3306> which <3739> he hath built <2026> thereupon <2026>, he shall receive <2983> a reward <3408>. 15 If <1487> any <1536> man's work <2041> shall be burned <2618>, he shall suffer <2210> loss <2210>: but he himself <0846> shall be saved <4982>; yet <1161> so <3779> as by fire <4442>. 16. Know <1492> ye not that ye are the temple <3485> of God <2316>, and [that] the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwelleth <3611> in you? 17 If <1487> any <1536> man defile <5351> the temple <3485> of God <2316>, him shall God <2316> destroy <5351>; for the temple <3485> of God <2316> is holy <0040>, which <3748> [temple] ye are. 18. Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <1818> himself <1438>. If <1487> any <1536> man among <1722> you seemeth <1380> to be wise <4680> in this <5129> world <0165>, let him become <1096> a fool <3474>, that he may be wise <4680>. 19 For the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889> is foolishness <3472> with God <2316>. For it is written <1125>, He taketh <1405> the wise <4680> in their own craftiness <3834>. 20 And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097> the thoughts <1261> of the wise <4680>, that they are vain <3152>. 21. Therefore <5620> let no <3367> man <3367> glory <2744> in men <0444>. For all <3956> things are yours <5216>; 22 Whether <1535> Paul <3972>, or <1535> Apollos <0625>, or <1535> Cephas <2786>, or <1535> the world <2889>, or <1535> life <2222>, or <1535> death <2288>, or <1535> things present <1764>, or <1535> things to come <3195>; all <3956> are yours <5216>; 23 And ye are Christ's <5547>; and Christ <5547> [is] God's <2316>. 1Corinthians 4 1. Let a man <0444> so <3779> account <3049> of us, as of the ministers <5257> of Christ <5547>, and stewards <3623> of the mysteries <3466> of God <2316>. 2 Moreover <3063> it is required <2212> in stewards <3623>, that a man <5100> be found <2147> faithful <4103>. 3 But with me it is a very <1646> small <1646> thing that I should be judged <0350> of you, or <2228> of man's <0442> judgment <2250>: yea <0235>, I judge <0350> not mine <1683> own <1683> self <1683>. 4 For I know <4894> nothing <3762> by myself <1683>; yet <0235> am I not hereby <5129> justified <1344>: but he that judgeth <0350> me is the Lord <2962>. 5 Therefore <5620> judge <2919> nothing <3385> before <4253> the time <2540>, until <2193> the Lord <2962> come <2064>, who <3739> both <2532> will bring <5461> to light <5461> the hidden <2927> things of darkness <4655>, and will make <5319> manifest <5319> the counsels <1012> of the hearts <2588>: and then <5119> shall every <1538> man have <1096> praise <1868> of God <2316>. 6 And these <5023> things, brethren <0080>, I have in a figure <3345> transferred <3345> to myself <1683> and [to] Apollos <0625> for your <5209> sakes; that ye might learn <3129> in us not to think <5426> [of men] above <5228> that which <3739> is written <1125>, that no <3361> one <1520> of you be puffed <5448> up for one <1520> against <2596> another <2087>. 7. For who <5101> maketh <1252> thee to differ <1252> [from another]? and what <5101> hast <2192> thou that thou didst not receive <2983>? now <2532> if <1499> thou didst receive <2983> [it], why <5101> dost thou glory <2744>, as if thou hadst not received <2983> [it]? 8 Now <2035> ye are full <2880>, now <2035> ye are rich <4147>, ye have reigned <0936> as kings without <5565> us: and I would <3785> to God ye did reign <0936>, that we also <2532> might reign <4821> with you. 9 For I think <1380> that God <2316> hath set <0584> forth <0584> us the apostles <0652> last <2078>, as it were appointed <1935> to death <1935>: for we are made <1096> a spectacle <2302> unto the world <2889>, and to angels <0032>, and to men <0444>. 10 We [are] fools <3474> for Christ's <5547> sake, but ye [are] wise <5429> in Christ <5547>; we [are] weak <0772>, but ye [are] strong <2478>; ye [are] honourable <1741>, but we [are] despised <0820>. 11 Even unto this <3588> present <0737> hour <5610> we both <2532> hunger <3983>, and thirst <1372>, and are naked <1130>, and are buffeted <2852>, and have no <0790> certain <0790> dwellingplace <0790>; 12 And labour <2872>, working <2038> with our own <2398> hands <5495>: being reviled <3058>, we bless <2127>; being persecuted <1377>, we suffer <0430> it: 13 Being defamed <0987>, we intreat <3870>: we are made <1096> as the filth <4027> of the world <2889>, [and are] the offscouring <4067> of all <3956> things unto this <0737> day <0737>. 14. I write <1125> not these <5023> things to shame <1788> you, but as my beloved <0027> sons <5043> I warn <3560> [you]. 15 For though <1437> ye have <2192> ten <3463> thousand <3463> instructors <3807> in Christ <5547>, yet <0235> [have ye] not many <4183> fathers <3962>: for in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> I have begotten <1080> you through <1223> the gospel <2098>. 16 Wherefore <3767> I beseech <3870> you, be ye followers <3402> of me. 17. For this <5124> cause <1223> have I sent <3992> unto you Timotheus <5095>, who <3739> is my beloved <0027> son <5043>, and faithful <4103> in the Lord <2962>, who <3739> shall bring <0363> you into remembrance <0363> of my ways <3598> which <3588> be in Christ <5547>, as I teach <1321> every <3837> where <3837> in every <3956> church <1577>. 18 Now <1161> some <5100> are puffed <5448> up, as though I would not come <2064> to you. 19 But I will come <2064> to you shortly <5030>, if <1437> the Lord <2962> will <2309>, and will know <1097>, not the speech <3056> of them which are puffed <5448> up, but the power <1411>. 20 For the kingdom <0932> of God <2316> [is] not in word <3056>, but in power <1411>. 21 What <5101> will <2309> ye? shall I come <2064> unto you with a rod <4464>, or <2228> in love <0026>, and [in] the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>? 1Corinthians 5 1. It is reported <0191> commonly <3654> [that there is] fornication <4202> among <1722> you, and such <5108> fornication <4202> as is not so <3761> much <3761> as named <3687> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, that one <5100> should have <2192> his father's <3962> wife <1135>. 2 And ye are puffed <5448> up, and have not rather <3123> mourned <3996>, that he that hath done <4160> this <5124> deed <2041> might be taken <1808> away from among <3319> you. 3 For I verily <3303>, as absent <0548> in body <4983>, but present <3918> in spirit <4151>, have judged <2919> already <2235>, as though I were present <3918>, [concerning] him that hath so <3779> done <2716> this <5124> deed, 4 In the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, when ye are gathered <4863> together <4863>, and my spirit <4151>, with the power <1411> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, 5 To deliver <3860> such <5108> an one unto Satan <4567> for the destruction <3639> of the flesh <4561>, that the spirit <4151> may be saved <4982> in the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>. 6 Your <5216> glorying <2745> [is] not good <2570>. Know <1492> ye not that a little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220> the whole <3650> lump <5445>? 7. Purge <1571> out therefore <3767> the old <3820> leaven <2219>, that ye may be a new <3501> lump <5445>, as ye are unleavened <0106>. For even <2532> Christ <5547> our passover <3957> is sacrificed <2380> for us: 8 Therefore <5620> let us keep <1858> the feast <1858>, not with old <3820> leaven <2219>, neither <3366> with the leaven <2219> of malice <2549> and wickedness <4189>; but with the unleavened <0106> [bread] of sincerity <1505> and truth <0225>. 9. I wrote <1125> unto you in an epistle <1992> not to company <4874> with fornicators <4205>: 10 Yet <2532> not altogether <3843> with the fornicators <4205> of this <5127> world <2889>, or <2228> with the covetous <4123>, or <2228> extortioners <0727>, or <2228> with idolaters <1496>; for then <0686> must <1893> ye needs go <1831> out of the world <2889>. 11 But now <3570> I have written <1125> unto you not to keep <4874> company <4874>, if <1437> any <5100> man that is called <3687> a brother <0080> be a fornicator <4205>, or <2228> covetous <4123>, or <2228> an idolater <1496>, or <2228> a railer <3060>, or <2228> a drunkard <3183>, or <2228> an extortioner <0727>; with such <5108> an one no not <3366> to eat <4906>. 12 For what <5101> have I to do to judge <2919> them also <2532> that are without <1854>? do not ye judge <2919> them that are within <2080>? 13 But them that are without <1854> God <2316> judgeth <2919>. Therefore put <1808> away <1808> from among yourselves <0846> that wicked <4190> person. 1Corinthians 6 1. Dare <5111> any <5100> of you, having <2192> a matter <4229> against <4314> another <2087>, go to law <2919> before <1909> the unjust <0094>, and not before <1909> the saints <0040>? 2 Do ye not know <1492> that the saints <0040> shall judge <2919> the world <2889>? and if <1487> the world <2889> shall be judged <2919> by you, are ye unworthy <0370> to judge <2922> the smallest <1646> matters? 3 Know <1492> ye not that we shall judge <2919> angels <0032>? how <3386> much <3386> more <1065> things that pertain to this life <0982>? 4 If <1437> then <3767> ye have <2192> judgments <2922> of things pertaining to this life <0982>, set <2523> them to judge <2919> who are least <1848> esteemed <1848> in the church <1577>. 5 I speak <3004> to your <5213> shame <1791>. Is it so <3779>, that there is not a wise <4680> man among <1722> you? no, not one that shall be able <1410> to judge <1252> between <3319> his brethren <0080>? 6 But brother <0080> goeth to law <2919> with brother <0080>, and that before <1909> the unbelievers <0571>. 7 Now <2035> therefore <3767> there is utterly <3654> a fault <2275> among <1722> you, because <3754> ye go to law <2917> one <1438> with another <1438>. Why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> take wrong <0091>? why <1302> do ye not rather <3123> [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded <0650>? 8 Nay <0235>, ye do wrong <0091>, and defraud <0650>, and that [your] brethren <0080>. 9. Know <1492> ye not that the unrighteous <0094> shall not inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>? Be not deceived <4105>: neither <3777> fornicators <4205>, nor <3777> idolaters <1496>, nor <3777> adulterers <3432>, nor <3777> effeminate <3120>, nor <3777> abusers <0733> of themselves with mankind <0733>, 10 Nor <3777> thieves <2812>, nor <3777> covetous <4123>, nor <3756> drunkards <3183>, nor <3756> revilers <3060>, nor <3756> extortioners <0727>, shall inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>. 11 And such <5023> were some <5100> of you: but ye are washed <0628>, but ye are sanctified <0037>, but ye are justified <1344> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and by the Spirit <4151> of our God <2316>. 12. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> unto me, but all <3956> things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but I will not be brought <1850> under <5259> the power <1850> of any <5100>. 13 Meats <1033> for the belly <2836>, and the belly <2836> for meats <1033>: but God <2316> shall destroy <2673> both <2532> it and them. Now <1161> the body <4983> [is] not for fornication <4202>, but for the Lord <2962>; and the Lord <2962> for the body <4983>. 14 And God <2316> hath both <2532> raised <1453> up the Lord <2962>, and will also <2532> raise <1825> up us by his own <0848> power <1411>. 15 Know <1492> ye not that your <5216> bodies <4983> are the members <3196> of Christ <5547>? shall I then <3767> take <0142> the members <3196> of Christ <5547>, and make <4160> [them] the members <3196> of an harlot <4204>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. 16 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that he which is joined <2853> to an harlot <4204> is one <1520> body <4983>? for two <1417>, saith <5346> he, shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>. 17 But he that is joined <2853> unto the Lord <2962> is one <1520> spirit <4151>. 18 Flee <5343> fornication <4202>. Every <3956> sin <0265> that a man <0444> doeth <4160> is without <1622> the body <4983>; but he that committeth <4203> fornication <4203> sinneth <0264> against <1519> his own <2398> body <4983>. 19 What <2228>? know <1492> ye not that your <1438> body <4983> is the temple <3485> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> [which is] in you, which <3739> ye have <2192> of God <2316>, and ye are not your <5216> own <1438>? 20 For ye are bought <0059> with a price <5092>: therefore <1211> glorify <1392> God <2316> in your <5216> body <4983>, and in your <5216> spirit <4151>, which <3748> are God's <2316>. 1Corinthians 7 1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the things whereof <3739> ye wrote <1125> unto me: [It is] good <2570> for a man <0444> not to touch <0680> a woman <1135>. 2 Nevertheless <1161>, [to avoid] fornication <4202>, let every <1538> man have <2192> his own <1438> wife <1135>, and let every <1538> woman have <2192> her own <2398> husband <0435>. 3 Let the husband <0435> render <0591> unto the wife <1135> due <3784> benevolence <2133>: and likewise <3668> also <2532> the wife <1135> unto the husband <0435>. 4 The wife <1135> hath not power <1850> of her own <2398> body <4983>, but the husband <0435>: and likewise <3668> also <2532> the husband <0435> hath not power <1850> of his own <2398> body <4983>, but the wife <1135>. 5 Defraud <0650> ye not one <0240> the other <0240>, except <1509> [it be] with consent <4859> for a time <2540>, that ye may give <4980> yourselves to fasting <3521> and prayer <4335>; and come <4905> together <0846> again <3825>, that Satan <4567> tempt <3985> you not for your <5216> incontinency <0192>. 6 But I speak <3004> this <5124> by permission <4774>, [and] not of commandment <2003>. 7 For I would <2309> that all <3956> men <0444> were even <2532> as I myself <1683>. But every <1538> man hath <2192> his proper <2398> gift <5486> of God <2316>, one <3303> after <3779> this <3779> manner <3779>, and another <3588> after <3779> that. 8 I say <3004> therefore <1161> to the unmarried <0022> and widows <5503>, It is good <2570> for them if <1437> they abide <3306> even <2504> as I. 9 But if <1487> they cannot <3756> contain <1467>, let them marry <1060>: for it is better <2909> to marry <1060> than <2228> to burn <4448>. 10. And unto the married <1060> I command <3853>, [yet] not I, but the Lord <2962>, Let not the wife <1135> depart <5563> from [her] husband <0435>: 11 But and if <1437> she depart <5563>, let her remain <3306> unmarried <0022>, or <2228> be reconciled <2644> to [her] husband <0435>: and let not the husband <0435> put <0863> away <0863> [his] wife <1135>. 12 But to the rest <3062> speak <3004> I, not the Lord <2962>: If <1487> any <1536> brother <0080> hath <2192> a wife <1135> that believeth <0571> not, and she be pleased <4909> to dwell <3611> with him, let him not put <0863> her away <0863>. 13 And the woman <1135> which <3748> hath <2192> an husband <0435> that believeth <0571> not, and if he be pleased <4909> to dwell <3611> with her, let her not leave <0863> him. 14 For the unbelieving <0571> husband <0435> is sanctified <0037> by the wife <1135>, and the unbelieving <0571> wife <1135> is sanctified <0037> by the husband <0435>: else <0686> were your <5216> children <5043> unclean <0169>; but now <3568> are they holy <0040>. 15 But if <1487> the unbelieving <0571> depart <5563>, let him depart <5563>. A brother <0080> or <2228> a sister <0079> is not under bondage <1402> in such <5108> [cases]: but God <2316> hath called <2564> us to peace <1515>. 16 For what <5101> knowest <1492> thou, O wife <1135>, whether <1487> thou shalt save <4982> [thy] husband <0435>? or <2228> how <5101> knowest <1492> thou, O man <0435>, whether <1487> thou shalt save <4982> [thy] wife <1135>? 17. But as God <2316> hath distributed <3307> to every <1538> man, as the Lord <2962> hath called <2564> every <1538> one, so <3779> let him walk <4043>. And so <3779> ordain <1299> I in all <3956> churches <1577>. 18 Is any <5100> man called <2564> being circumcised <4059>? let him not become <1986> uncircumcised <1986>. Is any <5100> called <2564> in uncircumcision <0203>? let him not be circumcised <4059>. 19 Circumcision <4061> is nothing <3762>, and uncircumcision <0203> is nothing <3762>, but the keeping <5084> of the commandments <1785> of God <2316>. 20 Let every <1538> man abide <3306> in the same <5026> calling <2821> wherein <3739> he was called <2564>. 21 Art thou called <2564> [being] a servant <1401>? care <3199> not for it: but if <1499> thou mayest <1410> be made <1096> free <1658>, use <5530> [it] rather <3123>. 22 For he that is called <2564> in the Lord <2962>, [being] a servant <1401>, is the Lord's <2962> freeman <0558>: likewise <3668> also <2532> he that is called <2564>, [being] free <1658>, is Christ's <5547> servant <1401>. 23 Ye are bought <0059> with a price <5092>; be not ye the servants <1401> of men <0444>. 24 Brethren <0080>, let every <1538> man, wherein <1722> <3739> he is called <2564>, therein <5129> abide <3306> with God <2316>. 25. Now <1161> concerning <4012> virgins <3933> I have <2192> no <3756> commandment <2003> of the Lord <2962>: yet <1161> I give <1325> my judgment <1106>, as one that hath obtained <1653> mercy <1653> of the Lord <2962> to be faithful <4103>. 26 I suppose <3543> therefore <3767> that this <5124> is good <2570> for the present <1764> distress <0318>, [I say], that [it is] good <2570> for a man <0444> so <3779> to be. 27 Art thou bound <1210> unto a wife <1135>? seek <2212> not to be loosed <3089>. Art thou loosed <3080> from a wife <1135>? seek <2212> not a wife <1135>. 28 But and if <1437> thou marry <1060>, thou hast not sinned <0264>; and if <1437> a virgin <3933> marry <1060>, she hath not sinned <0264>. Nevertheless <1161> such <5108> shall have <2192> trouble <2347> in the flesh <4561>: but I spare <5339> you. 29 But this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <0080>, the time <2540> [is] short <4958>: it remaineth <3063>, that both <2532> they that have <2192> wives <1135> be as though they had <2192> none <3361>; 30 And they that weep <2799>, as though they wept <2799> not; and they that rejoice <5463>, as though they rejoiced <5463> not; and they that buy <0059>, as though they possessed <2722> not; 31 And they that use <5530> this <5127> world <2889>, as not abusing <2710> [it]: for the fashion <4976> of this <5129> world <2889> passeth <3855> away. 32 But I would <2309> have you without <0275> carefulness <0275>. He that is unmarried <0022> careth <3309> for the things that belong to the Lord <2962>, how <4459> he may please <0700> the Lord <2962>: 33 But he that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things that are of the world <2889>, how <4459> he may please <0700> [his] wife <1135>. 34 There is difference <3307> [also] between <3307> a wife <1135> and a virgin <3933>. The unmarried <0022> woman <1135> careth <3309> for the things of the Lord <2962>, that she may be holy <0040> both <2532> in body <4983> and in spirit <4151>: but she that is married <1060> careth <3309> for the things of the world <2889>, how <4459> she may please <0700> [her] husband <0435>. 35 And this <5124> I speak <3004> for your <5216> own <0846> profit <4851>; not that I may cast <1911> a snare <1029> upon you, but for that which is comely <2158>, and that ye may attend <2145> upon the Lord <2962> without <0563> distraction <0563>. 36. But if <1487> any <5100> man think <3543> that he behaveth <0807> himself uncomely <0807> toward <1909> his virgin <3933>, if <1437> she pass <5230> the flower <5230> of [her] age <5230>, and need <3784> so <3779> require <1096>, let him do <4160> what <3739> he will <2309>, he sinneth <0264> not: let them marry <1060>. 37 Nevertheless <1161> he that standeth <2476> stedfast <1476> in his heart <2588>, having <2192> no <3361> necessity <0318>, but hath <2192> power <1849> over <4012> his own <2398> will <2307>, and hath so <5124> decreed <2919> in his heart <2588> that he will keep <5083> his virgin <3933>, doeth <4160> well <2573>. 38 So <5620> then <2532> he that giveth [her] in marriage <1547> doeth <4160> well <2573>; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage <1547> doeth <4160> better <2573>. 39. The wife <1135> is bound <1210> by the law <3551> as long <5550> as her husband <0435> liveth <2198>; but if <1437> her husband <0435> be dead <2837>, she is at liberty <1658> to be married <1060> to whom <3739> she will <2309>; only <3440> in the Lord <2962>. 40 But she is happier <3107> if <1437> she so <3779> abide <3306>, after <2596> my judgment <1106>: and I think <1380> also <2504> that I have <2192> the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>. 1Corinthians 8 1. Now <1161> as touching <4012> things offered <1494> unto idols <1494>, we know <1492> that we all <3956> have <2192> knowledge <1108>. Knowledge <1108> puffeth <5448> up, but charity <0026> edifieth <3618>. 2 And if <1487> any <5100> man think <1380> that he knoweth <1492> any <5100> thing, he knoweth <1097> nothing <3762> yet <3764> as he ought <1163> to know <1097>. 3 But if <1487> any <5100> man love <0025> God <2316>, the same <3778> is known <1097> of him. 4. As concerning <4012> therefore <3767> the eating <1035> of those <3588> things that are offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> unto idols <1494>, we know <1492> that an idol <1497> [is] nothing <3762> in the world <2889>, and that [there is] none <3762> other <2087> God <2316> but one <1520>. 5 For though <1512> there be that are called <3004> gods <2316>, whether <1535> in heaven <3772> or <1535> in earth <1093>, (as there be gods <2316> many <4183>, and lords <2962> many <4183>,) 6 But to us [there is but] one <1520> God <2316>, the Father <3962>, of whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we in him; and one <1520> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and we by him. 7. Howbeit <0235> [there is] not in every <3956> man <3956> that knowledge <1108>: for some <5100> with conscience <4893> of the idol <1497> unto this <0737> hour <0734> eat <2068> [it] as a thing offered <1494> unto an idol <1494>; and their conscience <4893> being <5607> weak <0772> is defiled <3435>. 8 But meat <1033> commendeth <3936> us not to God <2316>: for neither <3777>, if <1437> we eat <5315>, are we the better <4052>; neither <3777>, if <3362> we eat <5315> not <3362>, are we the worse <5302>. 9 But take heed <0991> lest <3381> by any <3381> means <4458> this <3778> liberty <1849> of yours <5216> become <1096> a stumblingblock <4348> to them that are weak <0770>. 10 For if <1437> any <5100> man see <1492> thee which <3588> hast <2192> knowledge <1108> sit <2621> at <2621> meat in the idol's <1493> temple, shall not the conscience <4893> of him which is weak <0772> be emboldened <3618> to eat <2068> those <3588> things which are offered <1494> to idols <1494>; 11 And through <1909> thy knowledge <1108> shall the weak <0770> brother <0080> perish <0622>, for whom <3739> Christ <5547> died <0599>? 12 But when ye sin <0264> so <3779> against <1519> the brethren <0080>, and wound <5180> their weak <0770> conscience <4893>, ye sin <0264> against <1519> Christ <5547>. 13 Wherefore <1355>, if <1487> meat <1033> make <4624> my brother <0080> to offend <4624>, I will eat <5315> no <3364> flesh <2907> while the world <0165> standeth, lest <3361> I make <4624> my brother <0080> to offend <4624>. 1Corinthians 9 1. Am <1510> I not an apostle <0652>? am <1510> I not free <1658>? have I not seen <3708> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>? are not ye my work <2041> in the Lord <2962>? 2 If <1487> I be not an apostle <0652> unto others <0243>, yet <0235> doubtless <1065> I am <1510> to you: for the seal <4973> of mine <1699> apostleship <0651> are ye in the Lord <2962>. 3. Mine <1699> answer <0627> to them that do examine <0350> me is this <3778>, 4 Have <2192> we not <3378> power <1849> to eat <5315> and to drink <4095>? 5 Have <2192> we not <3378> power <1849> to lead <4013> about <4013> a sister <0079>, a wife <1135>, as well <2532> as other <3062> apostles <0652>, and [as] the brethren <0080> of the Lord <2962>, and Cephas <2786>? 6 Or <2228> I only <3441> and Barnabas <0921>, have <2192> not we power <1849> to forbear <3361> working <2038>? 7 Who <5100> goeth a warfare <4754> any <4218> time <4218> at <4218> his own <2398> charges <3800>? who <5100> planteth <5452> a vineyard <0290>, and eateth <2068> not of the fruit <2590> thereof <0846>? or <2228> who <5100> feedeth <4165> a flock <4167>, and eateth <2068> not of the milk <1051> of the flock <4167>? 8 Say <2980> I these <5023> things as a man <0444>? or <2228> saith <3004> not the law <3551> the same <5023> also <2532>? 9 For it is written <1125> in the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, Thou shalt not muzzle <5392> the mouth of the ox <1016> that treadeth <0248> out the corn. Doth God <2316> take care <3199> for oxen <1016>? 10 Or <2228> saith <3004> he [it] altogether <3843> for our sakes? For our sakes, no <1063> doubt <1063>, [this] is written <1125>: that he that ploweth <0722> should <3784> plow <0722> in hope <1680>; and that he that thresheth <0248> in hope <1680> should be partaker <3348> of his hope <1680>. 11 If <1487> we have sown <4687> unto you spiritual <4152> things, [is it] a great <3173> thing if <1487> we shall reap <2325> your <5216> carnal <4559> things? 12 If <1487> others <0243> be partakers <3348> of [this] power <1849> over you, [are] not we rather <3123>? Nevertheless <0235> we have not used <5530> this <5026> power <1849>; but suffer <4722> all <3956> things, lest <3361> we should <1325> hinder <1464> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>. 13 Do ye not know <1492> that they which minister <2038> about holy <2413> things live <2068> [of the things] of the temple <2411>? and they which wait <4332> at the altar <2379> are partakers <4829> with the altar <2379>? 14 Even <2532> so <3779> hath the Lord <2962> ordained <1299> that they which preach <2605> the gospel <2098> should live <2198> of the gospel <2098>. 15. But I have used <5530> none <3762> of these <5130> things: neither have I written <1125> these <5023> things, that it should be so <3779> done <1096> unto me: for [it were] better <3123> for me to die <0599>, than <2228> that any <5100> man should make <2758> my glorying <2745> void <2758>. 16 For though <1437> I preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, I have <2076> nothing <3756> to glory <2745> of: for necessity <0318> is laid <1945> upon me; yea <1161>, woe <3759> is unto me, if <1437> I preach <2097> not the gospel <2097>! 17 For if <1487> I do <4238> this <5124> thing willingly <1635>, I have <2192> a reward <3408>: but if <1487> against <0210> my will <0210>, a dispensation <3622> [of the gospel] is committed <4100> unto me. 18 What <5101> is my reward <3408> then <3767>? [Verily] that, when I preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, I may make <5087> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547> without <0077> charge <0077>, that I abuse <2710> not my power <1849> in the gospel <2098>. 19. For though I be free <1658> from all <3956> [men], yet have I made <1402> myself <1683> servant <1402> unto all <3956>, that I might gain <2770> the more <4119>. 20 And unto the Jews <2453> I became <1096> as a Jew <2453>, that I might gain <2770> the Jews <2453>; to them that are under <5259> the law <3551>, as under <5259> the law <3551>, that I might gain <2770> them that are under <5259> the law <3551>; 21 To them that are without <0459> law <0459>, as without <0459> law <0459>, (being not without <0459> law <0459> to God <2316>, but under <1772> the law <1772> to Christ <5547>,) that I might gain <2770> them that are without <0459> law <0459>. 22 To the weak <0772> became <1096> I as weak <0772>, that I might gain <2770> the weak <0772>: I am made <1096> all <3956> things to all <3956> [men], that I might by all <3956> means <3843> save <4982> some <5100>. 23 And this <5124> I do <4160> for the gospel's <2098> sake, that I might be partaker <4791> thereof <0846> with [you]. 24. Know <1492> ye not that they which run <5143> in a race <4712> run <5143> all <3956>, but one <1520> receiveth <2983> the prize <1017>? So <3779> run <5143>, that ye may obtain <2638>. 25 And every <3956> man that striveth <0075> for the mastery is temperate <1467> in all <3956> things. Now <3767> they [do it] to obtain <2983> a corruptible <5349> crown <4735>; but we an incorruptible <0862>. 26 I therefore <5106> so <3779> run <5143>, not as uncertainly <0084>; so <3779> fight <4438> I, not as one that beateth <1194> the air <0109>: 27 But I keep <5299> under <5299> my body <4983>, and bring <1396> [it] into subjection <1396>: lest <3381> that by any <3381> means <4458>, when I have preached <2784> to others <0243>, I myself should be a castaway <0096>. 1Corinthians 10 1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <0080>, I would <2309> not that ye should be ignorant <0050>, how that all <3956> our fathers <3962> were under <5259> the cloud <3507>, and all <3956> passed <1330> through <1223> the sea <2281>; 2 And were all <3956> baptized <0907> unto Moses <3475> in the cloud <3507> and in the sea <2281>; 3 And did all <3956> eat <5315> the same <0846> spiritual <4152> meat <1033>; 4 And did all <3956> drink <4095> the same <0846> spiritual <4152> drink <4188>: for they drank <4095> of that spiritual <4152> Rock <4073> that followed <0190> them: and that Rock <4073> was Christ <5547>. 5 But with many <4119> of them God <2316> was not well <2106> pleased <2106>: for they were overthrown <2693> in the wilderness <2048>. 6. Now <1161> these <5023> things were our examples <5179>, to the intent we should not lust <1938> after <1938> evil <2556> things, as they also <2548> lusted <1937>. 7 Neither <3366> be ye idolaters <1496>, as [were] some <5100> of them; as it is written <1125>, The people <2992> sat <2523> down <2523> to eat <5315> and drink <4095>, and rose <0450> up to play <3815>. 8 Neither <3366> let us commit <4203> fornication <4203>, as some <5100> of them committed <4203>, and fell <4098> in one <3391> day <2250> three <5140> and twenty <1501> thousand <5505>. 9 Neither <3366> let us tempt <1598> Christ <5547>, as some <5100> of them also <2532> tempted <3985>, and were destroyed <0622> of serpents <3789>. 10 Neither <3366> murmur <1111> ye, as some <5100> of them also <2532> murmured <1111>, and were destroyed <0622> of the destroyer <3644>. 11 Now <1161> all <3956> these <5023> things happened <4819> unto them for ensamples <5179>: and they are written <1125> for our admonition <3559>, upon whom <3739> the ends <5056> of the world <0165> are come <2658>. 12 Wherefore <5620> let him that thinketh <1380> he standeth <2476> take heed <0991> lest <3361> he fall <4098>. 13 There hath no <3756> temptation <3986> taken <2983> you but such as is common <0442> to man <0442>: but God <2316> [is] faithful <4103>, who <3739> will not suffer <1439> you to be tempted <3985> above <5228> that ye are able <1410>; but will with the temptation <3986> also <2532> make <4160> a way <1545> to escape <1545>, that ye may be able <1410> to bear <5297> [it]. 14 Wherefore <1355>, my dearly beloved <0027>, flee <5343> from idolatry <1495>. 15. I speak <3004> as to wise <5429> men; judge <2919> ye what <3739> I say <5346>. 16 The cup <4221> of blessing <2129> which <3739> we bless <2127>, is it not the communion <2842> of the blood <0129> of Christ <5547>? The bread <0740> which <3739> we break <2806>, is it not the communion <2842> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>? 17 For we [being] many <4183> are one <1520> bread <0740>, [and] one <1520> body <4983>: for we are all <3956> partakers <3348> of that one <1520> bread <0740>. 18 Behold <0991> Israel <2474> after <2596> the flesh <4561>: are not they which eat <2068> of the sacrifices <2378> partakers <2844> of the altar <2379>? 19 What <5101> say <5346> I then <3767>? that the idol <1497> is any <5100> thing, or <2228> that which is offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> to idols <1494> is any <5100> thing? 20 But I [say], that the things which <3739> the Gentiles <1484> sacrifice <2380>, they sacrifice <2380> to devils <1140>, and not to God <2316>: and I would <2309> not that ye should have fellowship <2844> with devils <1140>. 21 Ye cannot <1410> drink <4095> the cup <4221> of the Lord <2962>, and the cup <4221> of devils <1140>: ye cannot <1410> be partakers <3348> of the Lord's <2962> table <5132>, and of the table <5132> of devils <1140>. 22 Do we provoke <3863> the Lord <2962> to jealousy <3863>? are we stronger <2478> than he? 23. All <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but all <3956> things are not expedient <4851>: all <3956> things are lawful <1832> for me, but all <3956> things edify <3618> not. 24 Let no <3367> man <3367> seek <2212> his own <1438>, but every <1538> man another's <2087> [wealth]. 25 Whatsoever <3956> is sold <4453> in the shambles <3111>, [that] eat <2068>, asking <0350> no <3367> question for conscience <4893> sake: 26 For the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's <2962>, and the fulness <4138> thereof <0846>. 27 If <1487> any <5100> of them that believe <0571> not bid <2564> you [to a feast], and ye be disposed <2309> to go <4198>; whatsoever <3956> is set <3908> before <3908> you, eat <2068>, asking <0350> no <3367> question for conscience <4893> sake. 28 But if <1437> any <5100> man say <2036> unto you, This <5124> is offered <1494> in sacrifice <1494> unto idols <1494>, eat <2068> not for his sake that shewed <3377> it, and for conscience <4893> sake: for the earth <1093> [is] the Lord's <2962>, and the fulness <4138> thereof <0846>: 29 Conscience <4893>, I say <3004>, not thine <1438> own <1438>, but of the other <2087>: for why <2444> is my liberty <1657> judged <2919> of another <0243> [man's] conscience <4893>? 30 For if <1487> I by grace <5485> be a partaker <3348>, why <5101> am I evil <0987> spoken <0987> of for that for which <3739> I give thanks <2168>? 31 Whether <1535> therefore <3767> ye eat <2068>, or <1535> drink <4095>, or <1535> whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160>, do <4160> all <3956> to the glory <1391> of God <2316>. 32 Give <1096> none <0677> offence <0677>, neither to the Jews <2453>, nor <2532> to the Gentiles <1672>, nor <2532> to the church <1577> of God <2316>: 33 Even <2504> as I please <0700> all <3956> [men] in all <3956> [things], not seeking <2212> mine <1683> own <1683> profit <4851>, but the [profit] of many <4183>, that they may be saved <4982>. 1Corinthians 11 1. Be ye followers <3402> of me, even <2531> as I also <2504> [am] of Christ <5547>. 2 Now <1161> I praise <1867> you, brethren <0080>, that ye remember <3415> me in all <3956> things, and keep <2722> the ordinances <3862>, as I delivered <3860> [them] to you. 3 But I would <2309> have you know <1492>, that the head <2776> of every <3956> man <0435> is Christ <5547>; and the head <2776> of the woman <1135> [is] the man <0435>; and the head <2776> of Christ <5547> [is] God <2316>. 4 Every <3956> man <0435> praying <4336> or <2228> prophesying <4395>, having <2192> [his] head <2776> covered <2596>, dishonoureth <2617> his head <2776>. 5 But every <3956> woman <1135> that prayeth <4336> or <2228> prophesieth <4395> with [her] head <2776> uncovered <0177> dishonoureth <2617> her head <2776>: for that is even <2532> all one <1520> as if she were shaven <3587>. 6 For if <1487> the woman <1135> be not covered <2619>, let her also <2532> be shorn <2751>: but if <1487> it be a shame <0149> for a woman <1135> to be shorn <2751> or <2228> shaven <3587>, let her be covered <2619>. 7 For a man <0435> indeed <3303> ought <3784> not to cover <2619> [his] head <2776>, forasmuch as he is the image <1504> and glory <1391> of God <2316>: but the woman <1135> is the glory <1391> of the man <0435>. 8 For the man <0435> is not of the woman <1135>; but the woman <1135> of the man <0435>. 9 Neither <3756> was the man <0435> created <2936> for the woman <1135>; but the woman <1135> for the man <0435>. 10 For this <5124> cause <1223> ought <3784> the woman <1135> to have <2192> power <1849> on <1909> [her] head <2776> because <1223> of the angels <0032>. 11 Nevertheless <4133> neither <3777> is the man <0435> without <5565> the woman <1135>, neither <3777> the woman <1135> without <5565> the man <0435>, in the Lord <2962>. 12 For as the woman <1135> [is] of the man <0435>, even so <3779> [is] the man <0435> also <2532> by the woman <1135>; but all <3956> things of God <2316>. 13 Judge <2919> in yourselves <0846>: is it comely <4241> that a woman <1135> pray <4336> unto God <2316> uncovered <0177>? 14 Doth not even <3761> nature <5449> itself <0846> teach <1321> you, that, if <1437> a man <0435> have long <2863> hair <2863>, it is a shame <0819> unto him? 15 But if <1437> a woman <1135> have long <2863> hair <2863>, it is a glory <1391> to her: for [her] hair <2864> is given <1325> her for a covering <4018>. 16 But if <1487> any <5100> man seem <1380> to be contentious <5380>, we have <2192> no <3756> such <5108> custom <4914>, neither <3761> the churches <1577> of God <2316>. 17. Now <1161> in this <5124> that I declare <3853> [unto you] I praise <1867> [you] not, that ye come <4905> together <4905> not for the better <2909>, but for the worse <2276>. 18 For first <4412> of all, when ye come <4905> together <4905> in the church <1577>, I hear <0191> that there be divisions <4978> among <1722> you; and I partly <3309> believe <4100> it. 19 For there must <1163> be also <2532> heresies <0139> among <1722> you, that they which are approved <1384> may be made <1096> manifest <5318> among <1722> you. 20 When ye come <4905> together <4905> therefore <3767> into <1909> one <0846> place, [this] is not to eat <5315> the Lord's <2960> supper <1173>. 21 For in eating <5315> every <1538> one taketh <4301> before <4301> [other] his own <2398> supper <1173>: and one <3303> is hungry <3983>, and another <3739> is drunken <3184>. 22 What <1063>? have <2192> ye not <3378> houses <3614> to eat <2068> and to drink <4095> in? or <2228> despise <2706> ye the church <1577> of God <2316>, and shame <2617> them that have <2192> not? What <5101> shall I say <2036> to you? shall I praise <1867> you in this <5129>? I praise <1867> [you] not. 23. For I have received <3880> of the Lord <2962> that which <3739> also <2532> I delivered <3860> unto you, That the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> the [same] night <3571> in which <3739> he was betrayed <3860> took <2983> bread <0740>: 24 And when he had given thanks <2168>, he brake <2806> [it], and said <2036>, Take <2983>, eat <5315>: this <5124> is my body <4983>, which <3588> is broken <2806> for you: this <5124> do <4160> in remembrance <0364> of me. 25 After <5615> the same <5615> manner <5615> also <2532> [he took] the cup <4221>, when <3326> he had supped <1172>, saying <3004>, This <5124> cup <4221> is the new <2537> testament <1242> in my blood <0129>: this <5124> do <4160> ye, as oft <3740> as ye drink <4095> [it], in remembrance <0364> of me. 26 For as often <3740> as ye eat <2068> this <5126> bread <0740>, and drink <4095> this <5124> cup <4221>, ye do shew <2605> the Lord's <2962> death <2288> till <0891> <3739> he come <2064>. 27 Wherefore <5620> whosoever <0302> shall eat <2068> this <5126> bread <0740>, and drink <4095> [this] cup <4221> of the Lord <2962>, unworthily <0371>, shall be guilty <1777> of the body <4983> and blood <0129> of the Lord <2962>. 28 But let a man <0444> examine <1381> himself <1438>, and so <3779> let him eat <2068> of [that] bread <0740>, and drink <4095> of [that] cup <4221>. 29 For he that eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> unworthily <0371>, eateth <2068> and drinketh <4095> damnation <2917> to himself <1438>, not discerning <1252> the Lord's <2962> body <4983>. 30 For this <5124> cause <1223> many <4183> [are] weak <0772> and sickly <0732> among <1722> you, and many <2425> sleep <2837>. 31 For if <1487> we would judge <1252> ourselves <1438>, we should not be judged <2919>. 32 But when we are judged <2919>, we are chastened <3811> of the Lord <2962>, that we should not be condemned <2632> with the world <2889>. 33 Wherefore <5620>, my brethren <0080>, when ye come <4905> together <4905> to eat <5315>, tarry <1551> one <0240> for another <0240>. 34 And if <1487> any <5100> man hunger <3983>, let him eat <2068> at <1722> home <3624>; that ye come <4905> not together <4905> unto condemnation <2917>. And the rest <3062> will I set <1299> in order <1299> when <5613> I come <2064>. 1Corinthians 12 1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> spiritual <4152> [gifts], brethren <0080>, I would <2309> not have you ignorant <0050>. 2 Ye know <1492> that ye were Gentiles <1484>, carried <0520> away <0520> unto these <3588> dumb <0880> idols <1497>, even <5613> as ye were led <0071>. 3 Wherefore <1352> I give you to understand <1107>, that no <3762> man <3762> speaking <2980> by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> calleth <3004> Jesus <2424> accursed <0331>: and [that] no <3762> man <3762> can <1410> say <2036> that Jesus <2424> is the Lord <2962>, but by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>. 4 Now <1161> there are diversities <1243> of gifts <5486>, but the same <0846> Spirit <4151>. 5 And there are differences <1243> of administrations <1248>, but the same <0846> Lord <2962>. 6 And there are diversities <1243> of operations <1755>, but it is the same <0846> God <2316> which <3588> worketh <1754> all <3956> in all <3956>. 7 But the manifestation <5321> of the Spirit <4151> is given <1325> to every <1538> man <1538> to profit <4851> withal. 8 For to one <3303> is given <1325> by the Spirit <4151> the word <3056> of wisdom <4678>; to another <0243> the word <3056> of knowledge <1108> by the same <0846> Spirit <4151>; 9 To another <2087> faith <4102> by the same <0846> Spirit <4151>; to another <0243> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386> by the same <0846> Spirit <4151>; 10 To another <0243> the working <1755> of miracles <1411>; to another <0243> prophecy <4394>; to another <0243> discerning <1253> of spirits <4151>; to another <2087> [divers] kinds <1085> of tongues <1100>; to another <0243> the interpretation <2058> of tongues <1100>: 11 But all <3956> these <5023> worketh <1754> that one <1520> and the selfsame <0846> Spirit <4151>, dividing <1244> to every <1538> man <1538> severally <2398> as he will <1014>. 12. For as <2509> the body <4983> is one <1520>, and hath <2192> many <4183> members <3196>, and all <3956> the members <3196> of that one <1520> body <4983>, being <5607> many <4183>, are one <1520> body <4983>: so <3779> also <2532> [is] Christ <5547>. 13 For by one <1520> Spirit <4151> are we all <3956> baptized <0907> into <1519> one <1520> body <4983>, whether <1535> [we be] Jews <2453> or <1535> Gentiles <1672>, whether <1535> [we be] bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>; and have been all <3956> made <4222> to drink <4222> into <1519> one <1520> Spirit <4151>. 14 For the body <4983> is not one <1520> member <3196>, but many <4183>. 15 If <1437> the foot <4228> shall say <2036>, Because <3754> I am <1510> not the hand <5495>, I am <1510> not of the body <4983>; is it therefore <5124> not of the body <4983>? 16 And if <1437> the ear <3775> shall say <2036>, Because <3754> I am <1510> not the eye <3788>, I am <1510> not of the body <4983>; is it therefore <5124> not of the body <4983>? 17 If <1487> the whole <3650> body <4983> [were] an eye <3788>, where <4226> [were] the hearing <0189>? If <1487> the whole <3650> [were] hearing <0189>, where <4226> [were] the smelling <3750>? 18 But now <3570> hath God <2316> set <5087> the members <3196> every <1538> one <1520> of them in the body <4983>, as it hath pleased <2309> him. 19 And if <1487> they were all <3956> one <1520> member <3196>, where <4226> [were] the body <4983>? 20 But now <3568> [are they] many <4183> members <3196>, yet <1161> but one <1520> body <4983>. 21 And the eye <3788> cannot <1410> say <2036> unto the hand <5495>, I have <2192> no <3756> need <5532> of thee: nor <2228> again <3825> the head <2776> to the feet <4228>, I have <2192> no <3756> need <5532> of you. 22 Nay <0235>, much <4183> more <3123> those <3588> members <3196> of the body <4983>, which seem <1380> to be more feeble <0772>, are necessary <0316>: 23 And those [members] of the body <4983>, which <3739> we think <1380> to be less <0820> honourable <0820>, upon these <5125> we bestow <4060> more <4055> abundant <4055> honour <5092>; and our uncomely <0809> [parts] have <2192> more <4055> abundant <4055> comeliness <2157>. 24 For our comely <2158> [parts] have <2192> no <3756> need <5532>: but God <2316> hath tempered <4786> the body <4983> together <4786>, having given <1325> more <4055> abundant <4055> honour <5092> to that [part] which lacked <5302>: 25 That there should be no <3361> schism <4978> in the body <4983>; but [that] the members <3196> should have the same <0846> care <3309> one <0240> for another <0240>. 26 And whether <1535> one <1520> member <3196> suffer <3958>, all <3956> the members <3196> suffer <4841> with it; or <1535> one <1520> member <3196> be honoured <1392>, all <3956> the members <3196> rejoice <4796> with it. 27. Now <1161> ye are the body <4983> of Christ <5547>, and members <3196> in particular <3313>. 28 And God <2316> hath set <5087> some <3588> in the church <1577>, first <4412> apostles <0652>, secondarily <1208> prophets <4396>, thirdly <5154> teachers <1320>, after <1899> that miracles <1411>, then <1534> gifts <5486> of healings <2386>, helps <0484>, governments <2941>, diversities <1085> of tongues <1100>. 29 [Are] all <3956> apostles <0652>? [are] all <3956> prophets <4396>? [are] all <3956> teachers <1320>? [are] all <3956> workers <1411> of miracles <1411>? 30 Have <2192> all <3956> the gifts <5486> of healing <2386>? do all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>? do all <3956> interpret <1329>? 31 But covet <2206> earnestly <2206> the best <2909> gifts <5486>: and yet <2089> shew <1166> I unto you a more <5236> excellent <5236> way <3598>. 1Corinthians 13 1. Though <1437> I speak <2980> with the tongues <1100> of men <0444> and of angels <0032>, and have <2192> not charity <0026>, I am become <1096> [as] sounding <2278> brass <5475>, or <2228> a tinkling <0214> cymbal <2950>. 2 And though <1437> I have <2192> [the gift of] prophecy <4394>, and understand <1492> all <3956> mysteries <3466>, and all <3956> knowledge <1108>; and though <1437> I have <2192> all <3956> faith <4102>, so <5620> that I could remove <3179> mountains <3735>, and have <2192> not charity <0026>, I am <1510> nothing <3762>. 3 And though <1437> I bestow <5595> all <3956> my goods <5224> to feed <5595> [the poor], and though <1437> I give <3860> my body <4983> to be burned <2545>, and have <2192> not charity <0026>, it profiteth <5623> me nothing <3762>. 4. Charity <0026> suffereth <3114> long <3114>, [and] is kind <5541>; charity <0026> envieth <2206> not; charity <0026> vaunteth <4068> not itself, is not puffed <5448> up, 5 Doth not behave <0807> itself unseemly, seeketh <2212> not her own <1438>, is not easily provoked <3947>, thinketh <3049> no <3756> evil <2556>; 6 Rejoiceth <5463> not in iniquity <0093>, but rejoiceth <4796> in the truth <0225>; 7 Beareth <4722> all <3956> things, believeth <4100> all <3956> things, hopeth <1679> all <3956> things, endureth <5278> all <3956> things. 8. Charity <0026> never <3763> faileth <1601>: but whether <1535> [there be] prophecies <4394>, they shall fail <2673>; whether <1535> [there be] tongues <1100>, they shall cease <3973>; whether <1535> [there be] knowledge <1108>, it shall vanish <2673> away <2673>. 9 For we know <1097> in part <3313>, and we prophesy <4395> in part <3313>. 10 But when <3752> that which is perfect <5046> is come <2064>, then <5119> that which is in part <3313> shall be done <2673> away <2673>. 11 When <3753> I was <2252> a child <3516>, I spake <2980> as a child <3516>, I understood <5426> as a child <3516>, I thought <3049> as a child <3516>: but when <3753> I became <1096> a man <0435>, I put <2673> away <2673> childish <3516> things. 12 For now <0737> we see <0991> through <1223> a glass <2072>, darkly <0135>; but then <5119> face <4383> to face <4383>: now <0737> I know <1097> in part <3313>; but then <5119> shall I know <1921> even <2531> as also <2532> I am known <1921>. 13 And now <3570> abideth <3306> faith <4102>, hope <1680>, charity <0026>, these <5023> three <5140>; but the greatest <3187> of these <5130> [is] charity <0026>. 1Corinthians 14 1. Follow <1377> after charity <0026>, and desire <2206> spiritual <4152> [gifts], but rather <3123> that ye may prophesy <4395>. 2 For he that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100> speaketh <2980> not unto men <0444>, but unto God <2316>: for no <3762> man <3762> understandeth <0191> [him]; howbeit in the spirit <4151> he speaketh <2980> mysteries <3466>. 3 But he that prophesieth <4395> speaketh <2980> unto men <0444> [to] edification <3619>, and exhortation <3874>, and comfort <3889>. 4 He that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100> edifieth <3618> himself <1438>; but he that prophesieth <4395> edifieth <3618> the church <1577>. 5 I would <2309> that ye all <3956> spake <2980> with tongues <1100>, but rather <3123> that ye prophesied <4395>: for greater <3187> [is] he that prophesieth <4395> than <2228> he that speaketh <2980> with tongues <1100>, except <1508> he interpret <1329>, that the church <1577> may receive <2983> edifying <3619>. 6. Now <3570>, brethren <0080>, if <1437> I come <2064> unto you speaking <2980> with tongues <1100>, what <5101> shall I profit <5623> you, except <3362> I shall speak <2980> to you either <2228> by revelation <0602>, or <2228> by knowledge <1108>, or <2228> by prophesying <4394>, or <2228> by doctrine <1322>? 7 And even <3676> things without <0895> life <0895> giving <1325> sound <5456>, whether <1535> pipe <0836> or <1535> harp <2788>, except <3362> they give <1325> a distinction <1293> in the sounds <5353>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what <3588> is piped <0832> or <2228> harped <2789>? 8 For if <1437> the trumpet <4536> give <1325> an uncertain <0082> sound <5456>, who <5101> shall prepare <3903> himself to the battle <4171>? 9 So <3779> likewise <2532> ye, except <3362> ye utter <1325> by the tongue <1100> words <3056> easy <2154> to be understood <2154>, how <4459> shall it be known <1097> what <3588> is spoken <2980>? for ye shall speak <2980> into <1519> the air <0109>. 10 There are, it may <5177> be <5177>, so <5118> many <5118> kinds <1085> of voices <5456> in the world <2889>, and none <3762> of them [is] without <0880> signification <0880>. 11 Therefore <3767> if <3362> I know <1492> not <3362> the meaning <1411> of the voice <5456>, I shall be unto him that speaketh <2980> a barbarian <0915>, and he that speaketh <2980> [shall be] a barbarian <0915> unto me. 12 Even <2532> so <3779> ye, forasmuch <1893> as ye are zealous <2207> of spiritual <4151> [gifts], seek <2212> that ye may excel <4052> to the edifying <3619> of the church <1577>. 13 Wherefore <1355> let him that speaketh <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100> pray <4336> that he may interpret <1329>. 14 For if <1437> I pray <4336> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>, my spirit <4151> prayeth <4336>, but my understanding <3563> is unfruitful <0175>. 15. What <5101> is it then <3767>? I will pray <4336> with the spirit <4151>, and I will pray <4336> with the understanding <3563> also <2532>: I will sing <5567> with the spirit <4151>, and I will sing <5567> with the understanding <3563> also <2532>. 16 Else <1893> when <1437> thou shalt bless <2127> with the spirit <4151>, how <4459> shall he that occupieth <0378> the room <5117> of the unlearned <2399> say <2046> Amen <0281> at <1909> thy giving of thanks <2169>, seeing <1894> he understandeth <1492> not what <5101> thou sayest <3004>? 17 For thou verily <3303> givest thanks <2168> well <2573>, but the other <2087> is not edified <3618>. 18 I thank <2168> my God <2316>, I speak <2980> with tongues <1100> more <3123> than ye all <3956>: 19 Yet <0235> in the church <1577> I had rather <2309> speak <2980> five <4002> words <3056> with my understanding <3563>, that [by my voice] I might teach <2727> others <0243> also <2532>, than <2228> ten <3463> thousand <3463> words <3056> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>. 20 Brethren <0080>, be not children <3813> in understanding <5424>: howbeit <0235> in malice <2549> be ye children <3515>, but in understanding <5424> be men <5046>. 21. In the law <3551> it is written <1125>, With [men of] other <2084> tongues <2084> and other <2087> lips <5491> will I speak <2980> unto this <5129> people <2992>; and yet for all <3779> that will they not hear <1522> me, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>. 22 Wherefore <5620> tongues <1100> are for a sign <4592>, not to them that believe <4100>, but to them that believe <0571> not: but prophesying <4394> [serveth] not for them that believe <0571> not, but for them which believe <4100>. 23 If <1437> therefore <3767> the whole <3650> church <1577> be come <4905> together <4905> into <1909> one <0846> place, and all <3956> speak <2980> with tongues <1100>, and there come <1525> in [those that are] unlearned <2399>, or <2228> unbelievers <0571>, will they not say <2046> that ye are mad <3105>? 24 But if <1437> all <3956> prophesy <4395>, and there come <1525> in one <5100> that believeth <0571> not, or <2228> [one] unlearned <2399>, he is convinced <1651> of all <3956>, he is judged <0350> of all <3956>: 25 And thus <3779> are the secrets <2927> of his heart <2588> made <1096> manifest <5318>; and so <3779> falling <4098> down on <1909> [his] face <4383> he will worship <4352> God <2316>, and report <0518> that God <2316> is in you of a truth <3689>. 26. How <5101> is it then <3767>, brethren <0080>? when <3752> ye come <4905> together <4905>, every <1538> one of you hath <2192> a psalm <5568>, hath <2192> a doctrine <1322>, hath <2192> a tongue <1100>, hath <2192> a revelation <0602>, hath <2192> an interpretation <2058>. Let all <3956> things be done <1096> unto edifying <3619>. 27 If <1535> any <5100> man speak <2980> in an [unknown] tongue <1100>, [let it be] by two <1417>, or <2228> at the most <4118> [by] three <5140>, and [that] by course <3313>; and let one <1520> interpret <1329>. 28 But if <3362> there be no <3362> interpreter <1328>, let him keep <4601> silence <4601> in the church <1577>; and let him speak <2980> to himself <1438>, and to God <2316>. 29 Let the prophets <4396> speak <2980> two <1417> or <2228> three <5140>, and let the other <0243> judge <1252>. 30 If <1437> [any thing] be revealed <0601> to another <0243> that sitteth <2521> by, let the first <4413> hold <4601> his peace <4601>. 31 For ye may <1410> all <3956> prophesy <4395> one by one <1520>, that all <3956> may learn <3129>, and all <3956> may be comforted <3870>. 32 And the spirits <4151> of the prophets <4396> are subject <5293> to the prophets <4396>. 33 For God <2316> is not [the author] of confusion <0181>, but of peace <1515>, as in all <3956> churches <1577> of the saints <0040>. 34. Let your <5216> women <1135> keep <4601> silence <4601> in the churches <1577>: for it is not permitted <2010> unto them to speak <2980>; but [they are commanded] to be under <5293> obedience <5293>, as also <2532> saith <3004> the law <3551>. 35 And if <1487> they will <2309> learn <3129> any <5100> thing, let them ask <1905> their husbands <0435> at <1722> home <3624>: for it is a shame <0149> for women <1135> to speak <2980> in the church <1577>. 36. What <2228>? came <1831> the word <3056> of God <2316> out from you? or <2228> came <2658> it unto you only <3441>? 37 If <1487> any <1536> man think <1380> himself to be a prophet <4396>, or <2228> spiritual <4152>, let him acknowledge <1921> that the things that I write <1125> unto you are the commandments <1785> of the Lord <2962>. 38 But if <1487> any <1536> man be ignorant <0050>, let him be ignorant <0050>. 39 Wherefore <5620>, brethren <0080>, covet <2206> to prophesy <4395>, and forbid <2967> not to speak <2980> with tongues <1100>. 40 Let all <3956> things be done <1096> decently <2156> and in order <5010>. 1Corinthians 15 1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <0080>, I declare <1107> unto you the gospel <2098> which <3739> I preached <2097> unto you, which <3739> also <2532> ye have received <3880>, and wherein <3759> ye stand <2476>; 2 By which <3739> also <2532> ye are saved <4982>, if <1487> ye keep <2722> in memory what <5101> I preached <2097> unto you, unless <1622> ye have believed <4100> in vain <1500>. 3 For I delivered <3860> unto you first <4413> of all that which <3739> I also <2532> received <3880>, how that Christ <5547> died <0599> for our sins <0266> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>; 4 And that he was buried <2290>, and that he rose <1453> again <1453> the third <5154> day <2250> according <2596> to the scriptures <1124>: 5 And that he was seen <3700> of Cephas <2786>, then <1534> of the twelve <1427>: 6 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of above <1883> five <4001> hundred <4001> brethren <0080> at <2178> once <2178>; of whom <3739> the greater <4119> part <4119> remain <3306> unto this present <0737>, but some <5100> are fallen <2837> asleep <2837>. 7 After <1899> that, he was seen <3700> of James <2385>; then <1534> of all <3956> the apostles <0652>. 8 And last <2078> of all <3956> he was seen <3700> of me also <2504>, as <5619> of one born <1626> out of due time. 9 For I am <1510> the least <1646> of the apostles <0652>, that am <1510> not meet <2425> to be called <2564> an apostle <0652>, because <1360> I persecuted <1377> the church <1577> of God <2316>. 10 But by the grace <5485> of God <2316> I am <1510> what <3739> I am <1510>: and his grace <5485> which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain <2756>; but I laboured <2872> more <4054> abundantly <4054> than they all <3956>: yet <1161> not I, but the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> was with me. 11 Therefore <3767> whether <1535> [it were] I or <1535> they, so <3779> we preach <2784>, and so <3779> ye believed <4100>. 12. Now <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be preached <2784> that he rose <1453> from the dead <3498>, how <4459> say <3004> some <5100> among <1722> you that there is no <3756> resurrection <0386> of the dead <3498>? 13 But if <1487> there be no <3756> resurrection <0386> of the dead <3498>, then <3761> is Christ <5547> not risen <1453>: 14 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not risen <1453>, then <0686> [is] our preaching <2782> vain <2756>, and your <5216> faith <4102> [is] also <2532> vain <2756>. 15 Yea <1161>, and we are found <2147> false <5575> witnesses <5575> of God <2316>; because <3754> we have testified <3140> of God <2316> that he raised <1453> up Christ <5547>: whom <3739> he raised <1453> not up, if <1512> so <0686> be that the dead <3498> rise <1453> not. 16 For if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not, then <3761> is not Christ <5547> raised <1453>: 17 And if <1487> Christ <5547> be not raised <1453>, your <5216> faith <4102> [is] vain <3152>; ye are yet <2089> in your <5216> sins <0266>. 18 Then <0686> they also <2532> which are fallen <2837> asleep <2837> in Christ <5547> are perished <0622>. 19 If <1487> in this <5126> life <2222> only <3440> we have <2070> hope <1679> in Christ <5547>, we are of all <3956> men <0444> most miserable <1652>. 20. But now <3570> is Christ <5547> risen <1453> from the dead <3498>, [and] become <1096> the firstfruits <0536> of them that slept <2837>. 21 For since <1894> by man <0444> [came] death <2288>, by man <0444> [came] also <2532> the resurrection <0386> of the dead <3498>. 22 For as in Adam <0076> all <3956> die <0599>, even <2532> so <3779> in Christ <5547> shall all <3956> be made <2227> alive <2227>. 23 But every <1538> man in his own <2398> order <5001>: Christ <5547> the firstfruits <0536>; afterward <1899> they that are Christ's <5547> at <1722> his coming <3952>. 24 Then <1534> [cometh] the end <5056>, when <3752> he shall have delivered <3860> up the kingdom <0932> to God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962>; when <3752> he shall have put <2673> down <2673> all <3956> rule <0746> and all <3956> authority <1849> and power <1411>. 25 For he must <1163> reign <0936>, till <0891> he hath put <5087> all <3956> enemies <2190> under <5259> his feet <4228>. 26 The last <2078> enemy <2190> [that] shall be destroyed <2673> [is] death <2288>. 27 For he hath put <5293> all <3956> things under <5259> his feet <4228>. But when <3752> he saith <2036> all <3956> things are put <5293> under <5259> [him, it is] manifest <1212> that he is excepted <1622>, which did put <5293> all <3956> things under <5293> him. 28 And when <3752> all <3956> things shall be subdued <5293> unto him, then <5119> shall the Son <5207> also <2532> himself <0846> be subject <5293> unto him that put <5293> all <3956> things under <5293> him, that God <2316> may be all <3956> in all <3956>. 29 Else <1893> what <5101> shall they do <4160> which are baptized <0907> for the dead <3498>, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not at <3654> all <3654>? why <5101> are they then baptized <0907> for the dead <3498>? 30 And why <5101> stand we in jeopardy <2793> every <3956> hour <5610>? 31 I protest <3513> by your <5212> rejoicing <2746> which <3739> I have <2192> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our <2251> Lord <2962>, I die <0599> daily <2250>. 32 If <1487> after <2596> the manner of men <0444> I have fought <2341> with beasts <2341> at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, what <5101> advantageth <3786> it me, if <1487> the dead <3498> rise <1453> not? let us eat <5315> and drink <4095>; for to morrow <0839> we die <0599>. 33 Be not deceived <4105>: evil <2556> communications <3657> corrupt <5351> good <5543> manners <2239>. 34 Awake <1594> to righteousness <1346>, and sin <0264> not; for some <5100> have <2192> not the knowledge <0056> of God <2316>: I speak <3004> [this] to your <5213> shame <1791>. 35. But some <5100> [man] will say <2046>, How <4459> are the dead <3498> raised <1453> up? and with what <4169> body <4983> do they come <2064>? 36 [Thou] fool <0878>, that which <3739> thou sowest <4687> is not quickened <2227>, except <3362> it die <0599>: 37 And that which <3739> thou sowest <4687>, thou sowest <4687> not that body <4983> that shall be, but bare <1131> grain <2848>, it may chance <5177> of wheat <4621>, or <2228> of some <5100> other <3062> [grain]: 38 But God <2316> giveth <1325> it a body <4983> as it hath pleased <2309> him, and to every <1538> seed <4690> his own <2398> body <4983>. 39 All <4561> flesh <4561> [is] not the same <0846> flesh <4561>: but [there is] one <0243> [kind of] flesh <4561> of men <0444>, another <0243> flesh <4561> of beasts <2934>, another <0243> of fishes <2486>, [and] another <0243> of birds <4421>. 40 [There are] also <2532> celestial <2032> bodies <4983>, and bodies <4983> terrestrial <1919>: but the glory <1391> of the celestial <2032> [is] one <2087>, and the [glory] of the terrestrial <1919> [is] another <2087>. 41 [There is] one <0243> glory <1391> of the sun <2246>, and another <0243> glory <1391> of the moon <4582>, and another <0243> glory <1391> of the stars <0792>: for [one] star <0792> differeth <1308> from [another] star <0792> in glory <1391>. 42 So <3779> also <2532> [is] the resurrection <0386> of the dead <3498>. It is sown <4687> in corruption <5356>; it is raised <1453> in incorruption <0861>: 43 It is sown <4687> in dishonour <0819>; it is raised <1453> in glory <1391>: it is sown <4687> in weakness <0769>; it is raised <1453> in power <1411>: 44 It is sown <4687> a natural <5591> body <4983>; it is raised <1453> a spiritual <4152> body <4983>. There is a natural <5591> body <4983>, and there is a spiritual <4152> body <4983>. 45 And so <3779> it is written <1125>, The first <4413> man <0444> Adam <0076> was made <1096> a living <2198> soul <5590>; the last <2078> Adam <0076> [was made] a quickening <2227> spirit <4151>. 46 Howbeit <0235> that [was] not first <4412> which is spiritual <4152>, but that which is natural <5591>; and afterward <1899> that which is spiritual <4152>. 47 The first <4413> man <0444> [is] of the earth <1093>, earthy <5517>: the second <1208> man <0444> [is] the Lord <2962> from heaven <3772>. 48 As [is] the earthy <5517>, such <5108> [are] they also <2532> that are earthy <5517>: and as [is] the heavenly <2032>, such <5108> [are] they also <2532> that are heavenly <2032>. 49 And as we have borne <5409> the image <1504> of the earthy <5517>, we shall also <2532> bear <5409> the image <1504> of the heavenly <2032>. 50 Now <1161> this <5124> I say <5346>, brethren <0080>, that flesh <4561> and blood <0129> cannot <1410> inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>; neither <3761> doth corruption <5356> inherit <2816> incorruption <0861>. 51. Behold <2400>, I shew <3004> you a mystery <3466>; We shall not all <3956> sleep <2837>, but we shall all <3956> be changed <0236>, 52 In a moment <0823>, in the twinkling <4493> of an eye <3788>, at <1722> the last <2078> trump <4536>: for the trumpet shall sound <4537>, and the dead <3498> shall be raised <1453> incorruptible <0862>, and we shall be changed <0236>. 53 For this <5124> corruptible <5349> must <1163> put <1746> on <1746> incorruption <0861>, and this <5124> mortal <2349> [must] put <1746> on <1746> immortality <0110>. 54 So <1161> when <3752> this <5124> corruptible <5349> shall have put <1746> on <1746> incorruption <0861>, and this <5124> mortal <2349> shall have put <1746> on <1746> immortality <0110>, then <5119> shall be brought <1096> to pass the saying <3056> that is written <1125>, Death <2288> is swallowed <2666> up in victory <3534>. 55 O death <2288>, where <4226> [is] thy sting <2759>? O grave <0086>, where <4226> [is] thy victory <3534>? 56 The sting <2759> of death <2288> [is] sin <0266>; and the strength <1411> of sin <0266> [is] the law <3551>. 57 But thanks <5485> [be] to God <2316>, which <3588> giveth <1325> us the victory <3534> through <1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 58. Therefore <5620>, my beloved <0027> brethren <0080>, be ye stedfast <1476>, unmoveable <0277>, always <3842> abounding <4052> in the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, forasmuch as ye know <1492> that your <5216> labour <2873> is not in vain <2756> in the Lord <2962>. 1Corinthians 16 1. Now <1161> concerning <4012> the collection <3048> for the saints <0040>, as I have given order <1299> to the churches <1577> of Galatia <1053>, even <2532> so <3779> do <4160> ye. 2 Upon the first <3391> [day] of the week <4521> let every <1538> one of you lay <5087> by him in store <2343>, as [God] hath prospered <2137> him, that there be no <3361> gatherings <3048> when <3752> I come <2064>. 3 And when <3752> I come <3854>, whomsoever <1437> ye shall approve <1381> by [your] letters <1992>, them will I send <3992> to bring <0667> your <5216> liberality <5485> unto Jerusalem <2419>. 4 And if <1437> it be meet <0514> that I go <4198> also <2504>, they shall go <4198> with me. 5. Now <1161> I will come <2064> unto you, when <3752> I shall pass <1330> through <1330> Macedonia <3109>: for I do pass <1330> through <1330> Macedonia <3109>. 6 And it may be that I will abide <3887>, yea <2228>, and winter <3914> with you, that ye may bring <4311> me on my journey <4311> whithersoever <1437> I go <4198>. 7 For I will <2309> not see <1492> you now <0737> by the way <3938>; but I trust <1679> to tarry <1961> a while <5100> <5550> with you, if <1437> the Lord <2962> permit <2010>. 8 But I will tarry <1961> at <1722> Ephesus <2181> until <2193> Pentecost <4005>. 9 For a great <3173> door <2374> and effectual <1756> is opened <0455> unto me, and [there are] many <4183> adversaries <0480>. 10. Now <1161> if <1437> Timotheus <5095> come <2064>, see <0991> that he may be with you without <0870> fear <0870>: for he worketh <2038> the work <2041> of the Lord <2962>, as I also <2532> [do]. 11 Let no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> despise <1848> him: but conduct <4311> him forth <4311> in peace <1515>, that he may come <2064> unto me: for I look <1551> for him with the brethren <0080>. 12 As touching <4012> [our] brother <0080> Apollos <0625>, I greatly <4183> desired <3870> him to come <2064> unto you with the brethren <0080>: but his will <2307> was not at <3843> all <3843> to come <2064> at <3568> this <3568> time <3598>; but he will come <2064> when <3752> he shall have convenient <2119> time <2119>. 13. Watch <1127> ye, stand <4739> fast in the faith <4102>, quit <0407> you like <0407> men <0407>, be strong <2901>. 14 Let all <3956> your <5216> things be done <1096> with charity <0026>. 15 I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, (ye know <1492> the house <3614> of Stephanas <4734>, that it is the firstfruits <0536> of Achaia <0882>, and [that] they have addicted <5021> themselves <1438> to the ministry <1248> of the saints <0040>,) 16 That ye submit <5293> yourselves unto such <5108>, and to every <3956> one that helpeth <4903> with [us], and laboureth <2872>. 17 I am glad <5463> of the coming <3952> of Stephanas <4734> and Fortunatus <5415> and Achaicus <0883>: for that which was lacking <5303> on your <5216> part they have supplied <0378>. 18 For they have refreshed <0373> my spirit <4151> and yours <5216>: therefore <3767> acknowledge <1921> ye them that are such <5108>. 19. The churches <1577> of Asia <0773> salute <0782> you. Aquila <0207> and Priscilla <4252> salute <0782> you much <4183> in the Lord <2962>, with the church <1577> that is in their house <3624>. 20 All <3956> the brethren <0080> greet <0782> you. Greet <0782> ye one <0240> another <0240> with an holy <0040> kiss <5370>. 21 The salutation <0783> of [me] Paul <3972> with mine <1699> own <1699> hand <5495>. 22 If <1487> any <1536> man love <5368> not the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, let him be <2277> Anathema <0331> Maranatha <3134>. 23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you. 24 My love <0026> [be] with you all <3956> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. Amen <0281>. 2Corinthians 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Timothy <5095> [our] brother <0080>, unto the church <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> is at <1722> Corinth <2882>, with all <3956> the saints <0040> which <3588> are in all <3650> Achaia <0882>: 2 Grace <5485> [be] to you and peace <1515> from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 3. Blessed <2128> [be] God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, the Father <3962> of mercies <3628>, and the God <2316> of all <3650> comfort <3874>; 4 Who <3588> comforteth <3870> us in all <3650> our tribulation <2347>, that we may be able <1410> to comfort <3870> them which are in any <3956> trouble <2347>, by the comfort <3874> wherewith <3739> we ourselves are comforted <3870> of God <2316>. 5 For as the sufferings <3804> of Christ <5547> abound <4052> in us, so <3779> our consolation <3874> also <2532> aboundeth <4052> by Christ <5547>. 6 And whether <1535> we be afflicted <2346>, [it is] for your <5216> consolation <3874> and salvation <4991>, which <3588> is effectual <1754> in the enduring <5281> of the same <0846> sufferings <3804> which <3588> we also <2532> suffer <3958>: or <1535> whether <1535> we be comforted <3870>, [it is] for your <5216> consolation <3874> and salvation <4991>. 7. And our hope <1680> of you [is] stedfast <0949>, knowing <1492>, that as ye are partakers <2844> of the sufferings <3804>, so <3779> [shall ye be] also <2532> of the consolation <3874>. 8 For we would <2309> not, brethren <0080>, have you ignorant <0050> of our trouble <2347> which <3588> came <1096> to us in Asia <0773>, that we were pressed <0916> out of measure <5236>, above <5228> strength <1411>, insomuch <5620> that we despaired <1820> even <2532> of life <2198>: 9 But we had <2192> the sentence <0610> of death <2288> in ourselves <1438>, that we should not trust <3982> in ourselves <1438>, but in God <2316> which <3588> raiseth <1453> the dead <3498>: 10 Who delivered <4506> us from so <5082> great <5082> a death <2288>, and doth deliver <4506>: in whom <3739> we trust <1679> that he will yet <2089> deliver <4506> [us]; 11 Ye also <2532> helping <4943> together <4943> by prayer <1162> for us, that for the gift <5486> [bestowed] upon us by the means of many <4183> persons <4383> thanks <2168> may be given by many <4183> on <5228> our behalf <5228>. 12. For our rejoicing <2746> is this <3778>, the testimony <3142> of our conscience <4893>, that in simplicity <0572> and godly <2316> sincerity <1505>, not with fleshly <4559> wisdom <4678>, but by the grace <5485> of God <2316>, we have had our conversation <0390> in the world <2889>, and more <4056> abundantly <4056> to you-ward <5209>. 13 For we write <1125> none <3756> other <0243> things unto you, than <2228> what <3739> ye read <0314> or <2228> acknowledge <1921>; and I trust <1679> ye shall acknowledge <1921> even <2532> to the end <5056>; 14 As also <2532> ye have acknowledged <1921> us in part <3313>, that we are your <5216> rejoicing <2745>, even <2509> as ye also <2532> [are] ours <2257> in the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>. 15. And in this <5026> confidence <4006> I was minded <1014> to come <2064> unto you before <4386>, that ye might have <2192> a second <1208> benefit <5485>; 16 And to pass <1330> by you into <1519> Macedonia <3109>, and to come <2064> again <3825> out of Macedonia <3109> unto you, and of you to be brought <4311> on my way <4311> toward <1519> Judaea <2449>. 17 When I therefore <3767> was thus <5124> minded <1011>, did I use <5530> lightness <1644>? or <2228> the things that I purpose <1011>, do I purpose <1011> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>, that with me there should be yea <3483> yea <3483>, and nay <3756> nay <3756>? 18 But [as] God <2316> [is] true <4103>, our word <3056> toward <4314> you was not yea <3483> and nay <3756>. 19 For the Son <5207> of God <2316>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who <3588> was preached <2784> among <1722> you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus <4610> and Timotheus <5095>, was not yea <3483> and nay <3756>, but in him was yea <3483>. 20 For all <3745> the promises <1860> of God <2316> in him [are] yea <3483>, and in him Amen <0281>, unto the glory <1391> of God <2316> by us. 21 Now <1161> he which stablisheth <0950> us with you in Christ <5547>, and hath anointed <5548> us, [is] God <2316>; 22 Who <3588> hath also <2532> sealed <4972> us, and given <1325> the earnest <0728> of the Spirit <4151> in our hearts <2588>. 23 Moreover <1161> I call <1941> God <2316> for a record <3144> upon my soul <5590>, that to spare <5339> you I came <2064> not as yet <3765> unto Corinth <2882>. 24 Not for that we have dominion <2961> over your <5216> faith <4102>, but are helpers <4904> of your <5216> joy <5479>: for by faith <4102> ye stand <2476>. 2Corinthians 2 1. But I determined <2919> this <5124> with myself <1683>, that I would not come <2064> again <3825> to you in heaviness <3077>. 2 For if <1487> I make <3076> you sorry <3076>, who <5101> is he then <2532> that maketh <2165> me glad <2165>, but the same which is made <3076> sorry <3076> by me? 3 And I wrote <1125> this <5124> same <0846> unto you, lest <3361>, when I came <2064>, I should have <2192> sorrow <3077> from them of whom <3739> I ought <1163> to rejoice <5463>; having confidence <3982> in you all <3956>, that my joy <5479> is [the joy] of you all <3956>. 4 For out of much <4183> affliction <2347> and anguish <4928> of heart <2588> I wrote <1125> unto you with many <4183> tears <1144>; not that ye should be grieved <3076>, but that ye might know <1097> the love <0026> which <3739> I have <2192> more <4056> abundantly <4056> unto you. 5. But if <1487> any <5100> have caused <3076> grief <3076>, he hath not grieved <3076> me, but in part <3313>: that I may not overcharge <1912> you all <3956>. 6 Sufficient <2425> to such <5108> a man [is] this <3778> punishment <2009>, which <3588> [was inflicted] of many <4119>. 7 So <5620> that contrariwise <5121> ye [ought] rather <3123> to forgive <5483> [him], and comfort <3870> [him], lest <3381> perhaps <4458> such <5108> a one should be swallowed <2666> up with overmuch <4055> sorrow <3077>. 8 Wherefore <1352> I beseech <3870> you that ye would confirm <2964> [your] love <0026> toward <1519> him. 9 For to this <5124> end also <2532> did I write <1125>, that I might know <1097> the proof <1382> of you, whether <1487> ye be obedient <5255> in all <3956> things. 10 To whom <3739> ye forgive <5483> any <5100> thing, I [forgive] also <2532>: for if <1487> I forgave <5483> any <1536> thing, to whom <3739> I forgave <5483> [it], for your <5209> sakes [forgave I it] in the person <4383> of Christ <5547>; 11 Lest <3361> Satan <4567> should get <4122> an advantage <4122> of us: for we are not ignorant <0050> of his devices <3540>. 12. Furthermore <1161>, when I came <2064> to Troas <5174> to [preach] Christ's <5547> gospel <2098>, and a door <2374> was opened <0455> unto me of the Lord <2962>, 13 I had <2192> no <3756> rest <0425> in my spirit <4151>, because I found <2147> not Titus <5103> my brother <0080>: but taking my leave <0657> of them, I went <1831> from thence into <1519> Macedonia <3109>. 14 Now <1161> thanks <5485> [be] unto God <2316>, which always <3842> causeth <2358> us to triumph <2358> in Christ <5547>, and maketh <5319> manifest <5319> the savour <3744> of his knowledge <1108> by us in every <3956> place <5117>. 15 For we are unto God <2316> a sweet <2175> savour <2175> of Christ <5547>, in them that are saved <4982>, and in them that perish <0622>: 16 To the one <3303> [we are] the savour <3744> of death <2288> unto death <2288>; and to the other <3739> the savour <3744> of life <2222> unto life <2222>. And who <5101> [is] sufficient <2425> for these <5023> things? 17 For we are not as many <4183>, which corrupt <2585> the word <3056> of God <2316>: but as of sincerity <1505>, but as of God <2316>, in the sight <2714> of God <2316> speak <2980> we in Christ <5547>. 2Corinthians 3 1. Do we begin <0756> again <3825> to commend <4921> ourselves <1438>? or <3361> need <5535> we, as some <5100> [others], epistles <1992> of commendation <4956> to you, or <2228> [letters] of commendation <4956> from you? 2 Ye are our epistle <1992> written <1449> in our hearts <2588>, known <1097> and read <0314> of all <3956> men <0444>: 3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly <5319> declared <5319> to be the epistle <1992> of Christ <5547> ministered <1247> by us, written <1449> not with ink <3188>, but with the Spirit <4151> of the living <2198> God <2316>; not in tables <4109> of stone <3035>, but in fleshy <4560> tables <4109> of the heart <2588>. 4 And such <5108> trust <4006> have <2192> we through <1223> Christ <5547> to God-ward <2316>: 5 Not that we are sufficient <2425> of ourselves <1438> to think <3049> any <5100> thing as of ourselves <1438>; but our sufficiency <2426> [is] of God <2316>; 6. Who <3739> also <2532> hath made <2427> us able <2427> ministers <1249> of the new <2537> testament <1242>; not of the letter <1121>, but of the spirit <4151>: for the letter <1121> killeth <0615>, but the spirit <4151> giveth life <2227>. 7 But if <1487> the ministration <1248> of death <2288>, written <1121> [and] engraven <1795> in stones <3037>, was glorious <1391>, so <5620> that the children <5207> of Israel <2474> could <1410> not stedfastly <0816> behold <0816> the face <4383> of Moses <3475> for the glory <1391> of his countenance <4383>; which <3588> [glory] was to be done away <2673>: 8 How <4459> shall not the ministration <1248> of the spirit <4151> be rather <3123> glorious <1391>? 9 For if <1487> the ministration <1248> of condemnation <2633> [be] glory <1391>, much <4183> more <3123> doth the ministration <1248> of righteousness <1343> exceed <4052> in glory <1391>. 10 For even <2532> that which was made <1392> glorious <1392> had no <3761> glory <1392> in this <5129> respect <3313>, by reason <1752> of the glory <1391> that excelleth <5235>. 11 For if <1487> that which is done <2673> away <2673> [was] glorious <1391>, much <4183> more <3123> that which remaineth <3306> [is] glorious <1391>. 12. Seeing then <3767> that we have <2192> such <5108> hope <1680>, we use <5530> great <4183> plainness <3954> of speech: 13 And not as <2509> Moses <3475>, [which] put <5087> a vail <2571> over <1909> his face <4383>, that the children <5207> of Israel <2474> could not stedfastly <0816> look <0816> to the end <5056> of that which is abolished <2673>: 14 But their minds <3540> were blinded <4456>: for until <0891> this <4594> day <4594> remaineth <3306> the same <0846> vail <2571> untaken <0343> away <0343> in the reading <0320> of the old <3820> testament <1242>; which <3748> [vail] is done away <2673> in Christ <5547>. 15 But even <2193> unto this <4594> day <4594>, when <2259> Moses <3475> is read <0314>, the vail <2571> is upon <2749> their heart <2588>. 16 Nevertheless <1161> when <2259> it shall turn <1994> to the Lord <2962>, the vail <2571> shall be taken <4014> away <4014>. 17 Now <1161> the Lord <2962> is that Spirit <4151>: and where <3757> the Spirit <4151> of the Lord <2962> [is], there <1563> [is] liberty <1657>. 18 But we all <3956>, with open <0343> face <4383> beholding <2734> as in a glass <2734> the glory <1391> of the Lord <2962>, are changed <3339> into the same <0846> image <1504> from glory <1391> to glory <1391>, [even] as <2509> by the Spirit <4151> of the Lord <2962>. 2Corinthians 4 1. Therefore <5124> seeing we have <2192> this <5026> ministry <1248>, as we have received <1653> mercy <1653>, we faint <1573> not; 2 But have renounced <0550> the hidden <2927> things of dishonesty <0152>, not walking <4043> in craftiness <3834>, nor <3366> handling <1389> the word <3056> of God <2316> deceitfully <1389>; but by manifestation <5321> of the truth <0225> commending <4921> ourselves <1438> to every <3956> man's <0444> conscience <4893> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>. 3 But if <1499> our gospel <2098> be hid <2572>, it is hid <2572> to them that are lost <0622>: 4 In whom <3739> the god <2316> of this <5127> world <0165> hath blinded <5186> the minds <3540> of them which believe <0571> not, lest <3361> the light <5462> of the glorious <1391> gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>, who <3739> is the image <1504> of God <2316>, should shine <0826> unto them. 5 For we preach <2784> not ourselves <1438>, but Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> the Lord <2962>; and ourselves <1438> your <5216> servants <1401> for Jesus <2424>' sake. 6 For God <2316>, who <3588> commanded <2036> the light <5457> to shine <2989> out of darkness <4655>, hath shined <2989> in our hearts <2588>, to [give] the light <5462> of the knowledge <1108> of the glory <1391> of God <2316> in the face <4383> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 7 But we have <2192> this <5126> treasure <2344> in earthen <3749> vessels <4632>, that the excellency <5236> of the power <1411> may be of God <2316>, and not of us. 8. [We are] troubled <2346> on <1722> every <3956> side, yet <0235> not distressed <4729>; [we are] perplexed <0639>, but not in despair <1820>; 9 Persecuted <1377>, but not forsaken <1459>; cast <2598> down <2598>, but not destroyed <0622>; 10 Always <3842> bearing <4064> about <4064> in the body <4983> the dying <3500> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, that the life <2222> also <2532> of Jesus <2424> might be made <5319> manifest <5319> in our body <4983>. 11 For we which <3588> live <2198> are alway <0104> delivered <3860> unto death <2288> for Jesus <2424>' sake, that the life <2222> also <2532> of Jesus <2424> might be made <5319> manifest <5319> in our mortal <2349> flesh <4561>. 12 So <5620> then <3303> death <2288> worketh <1754> in us, but life <2222> in you. 13 We having <2192> the same <0846> spirit <4151> of faith <4102>, according <2596> as it is written <1125>, I believed <4100>, and therefore <1352> have I spoken <2980>; we also <2532> believe <4100>, and therefore <1352> speak <2980>; 14 Knowing <1492> that he which raised <1453> up the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> shall raise <1453> up us also <2532> by Jesus <2424>, and shall present <3936> [us] with you. 15 For all <3956> things [are] for your <5209> sakes, that the abundant <4121> grace <5485> might through <1223> the thanksgiving <2169> of many <4119> redound <4052> to the glory <1391> of God <2316>. 16 For which <1352> cause <1352> we faint <1573> not; but though <1499> our outward <1854> man <0444> perish <1311>, yet <0235> the inward <2081> [man] is renewed <0341> day <2250> by day <2250>. 17 For our light <1645> affliction <2347>, which <3588> is but for a moment <3910>, worketh <2716> for us a far <5236> more <5236> exceeding <5236> [and] eternal <0166> weight <0922> of glory <1391>; 18 While we look <4648> not at <4648> the things which are seen <0991>, but at <4648> the things which are not seen <0991>: for the things which are seen <0991> [are] temporal <4340>; but the things which are not seen <0991> [are] eternal <0166>. 2Corinthians 5 1. For we know <1492> that if <1437> our earthly <1919> house <3614> of [this] tabernacle <4636> were dissolved <2647>, we have <2192> a building <3619> of God <2316>, an house <3614> not made <0886> with hands <0886>, eternal <0166> in the heavens <3772>. 2 For in this <5129> we groan <4727>, earnestly <1971> desiring <1971> to be clothed <1902> upon with our house <3613> which <3588> is from heaven <3772>: 3 If <1489> so be that being clothed <1746> we shall not be found <2147> naked <1131>. 4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle <4636> do groan <4727>, being burdened <0916>: not for that we would <2309> be unclothed <1562>, but clothed <1902> upon, that mortality <2349> might be swallowed <2666> up of life <2222>. 5 Now <1161> he that hath wrought <2716> us for the selfsame <5124> thing [is] God <2316>, who <3588> also <2532> hath given <1325> unto us the earnest <0728> of the Spirit <4151>. 6 Therefore <3767> [we are] always <3842> confident <2292>, knowing <1492> that, whilst we are at <1722> home <1736> in the body <4983>, we are absent <1553> from the Lord <2962>: 7 (For we walk <4043> by faith <4102>, not by sight <1491>:) 8 We are confident <2292>, [I say], and willing <2106> rather <3123> to be absent <1553> from the body <4983>, and to be present <1736> with the Lord <2962>. 9 Wherefore <1352> we labour <5389>, that, whether <1535> present <1736> or <1535> absent <1553>, we may be accepted <2101> of him. 10 For we must <1163> all <3956> appear <5319> before <1715> the judgment <0968> seat <0968> of Christ <5547>; that every <1538> one may receive <2865> the things [done] in [his] body <4983>, according <4314> to that he hath done <4238>, whether <1535> [it be] good <0018> or <1535> bad <2556>. 11 Knowing <1492> therefore <3767> the terror <5401> of the Lord <2962>, we persuade <3982> men <0444>; but we are made <5319> manifest <5319> unto God <2316>; and I trust <1679> also <2532> are made <5319> manifest <5319> in your <5216> consciences <4893>. 12. For we commend <4921> not ourselves <1438> again <3825> unto you, but give <1325> you occasion <0874> to glory <2745> on <5228> our behalf <5228>, that ye may have <2192> somewhat to [answer] them which glory <2744> in appearance <4383>, and not in heart <2588>. 13 For whether <1535> we be beside <1839> ourselves, [it is] to God <2316>: or <1535> whether <1535> we be sober <4993>, [it is] for your <5213> cause. 14 For the love <0026> of Christ <5547> constraineth <4912> us; because we thus <5124> judge <2919>, that if <1487> one <1520> died <0599> for all <3956>, then <0686> were all <3956> dead <0599>: 15 And [that] he died <0599> for all <3956>, that they which live <2198> should not <3371> henceforth <3371> live <2198> unto themselves <1438>, but unto him which died <0599> for them, and rose <1453> again <1453>. 16. Wherefore <5620> henceforth <3568> know <1492> we no <3762> man <3762> after <2596> the flesh <4561>: yea <1161>, though <1499> we have known <1097> Christ <5547> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, yet <0235> now <3568> henceforth <2089> know <1097> we [him] no <3765> more <2089>. 17 Therefore <5620> if <1487> any <1536> man [be] in Christ <5547>, [he is] a new <2537> creature <2937>: old <0744> things are passed <3928> away; behold <2400>, all <3956> things are become <1096> new <2537>. 18 And all <3956> things [are] of God <2316>, who <3588> hath reconciled <2644> us to himself <1438> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and hath given <1325> to us the ministry <1248> of reconciliation <2643>; 19 To wit <5613>, that God <2316> was in Christ <5547>, reconciling <2644> the world <2889> unto himself <1438>, not imputing <3049> their trespasses <3900> unto them; and hath committed <5087> unto us the word <3056> of reconciliation <2643>. 20 Now then we are ambassadors <4243> for Christ <5547>, as though God <2316> did beseech <3870> [you] by us: we pray <1189> [you] in Christ's <5547> stead <5228>, be ye reconciled <2644> to God <2316>. 21 For he hath made <4160> him [to be] sin <0266> for us, who knew <1097> no <3361> sin <0266>; that we might be made <1096> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> in him. 2Corinthians 6 1. We then <3767>, [as] workers <4903> together <4903> [with him], beseech <3870> [you] also <2532> that ye receive <1209> not the grace <5485> of God <2316> in vain <2756>. 2 (For he saith <3004>, I have heard <1873> thee in a time <2540> accepted <1184>, and in the day <2250> of salvation <4991> have I succoured <0997> thee: behold <2400>, now <3568> [is] the accepted <2144> time <2540>; behold <2400>, now <3568> [is] the day <2250> of salvation <4991>.) 3 Giving <1325> no <3367> offence <4349> in any <3367> thing <3367>, that the ministry <1248> be not blamed <3469>: 4 But in all <3956> [things] approving <4921> ourselves <1438> as the ministers <1249> of God <2316>, in much <4183> patience <5281>, in afflictions <2347>, in necessities <0318>, in distresses <4730>, 5 In stripes <4127>, in imprisonments <5438>, in tumults <0181>, in labours <2873>, in watchings <0070>, in fastings <3521>; 6 By pureness <0054>, by knowledge <1108>, by longsuffering <3115>, by kindness <5544>, by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, by love <0026> unfeigned <0505>, 7 By the word <3056> of truth <0225>, by the power <1411> of God <2316>, by the armour <3696> of righteousness <1343> on the right <1188> hand and on the left <0710>, 8 By honour <1391> and dishonour <0819>, by evil <1426> report <1426> and good <2162> report <2162>: as deceivers <4108>, and [yet] true <0227>; 9 As unknown <0050>, and [yet] well <1921> known <1921>; as dying <0599>, and, behold <2400>, we live <2198>; as chastened <3811>, and not killed <2289>; 10 As sorrowful <3076>, yet <1161> alway <0104> rejoicing <5463>; as poor <4434>, yet <1161> making <4148> many <4183> rich <4148>; as having <2192> nothing <3367>, and [yet] possessing <2722> all <3956> things. 11. O [ye] Corinthians <2881>, our mouth <4750> is open <0455> unto you, our heart <2588> is enlarged <4115>. 12 Ye are not straitened <4729> in us, but ye are straitened <4729> in your <5216> own bowels <4698>. 13 Now <1161> for a recompence <0489> in the same <0846>, (I speak <3004> as unto [my] children <5043>,) be ye also <2532> enlarged <4115>. 14 Be ye not unequally <2086> yoked <2086> together <2086> with unbelievers <0571>: for what <5101> fellowship <3352> hath righteousness <1343> with unrighteousness <0458>? and what <5101> communion <2842> hath light <5457> with darkness <4655>? 15 And what <5101> concord <4857> hath Christ <5547> with Belial <0955>? or <2228> what <5101> part <3310> hath he that believeth <4103> with an infidel <0571>? 16 And what <5101> agreement <4783> hath the temple <3485> of God <2316> with idols <1497>? for ye are the temple <3485> of the living <2198> God <2316>; as God <2316> hath said <2036>, I will dwell <1774> in them, and walk <1704> in [them]; and I will be their God <2316>, and they shall be my people <2992>. 17 Wherefore <1352> come <1831> out from among <3319> them, and be ye separate <0873>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, and touch <0680> not the unclean <0169> [thing]; and I will receive <1523> you, 18 And will be a Father <3962> unto you, and ye shall be my sons <5207> and daughters <2364>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962> Almighty <3841>. 2Corinthians 7 1. Having <2192> therefore <3767> these <5025> promises <1860>, dearly beloved <0027>, let us cleanse <2511> ourselves <1438> from all <3956> filthiness <3436> of the flesh <4561> and spirit <4151>, perfecting <2005> holiness <0042> in the fear <5401> of God <2316>. 2 Receive <5562> us; we have wronged <0091> no <3762> man <3762>, we have corrupted <5351> no <3762> man <3762>, we have defrauded <4122> no <3762> man <3762>. 3 I speak <3004> not [this] to condemn <2633> [you]: for I have said <4280> before <4280>, that ye are in our hearts <2588> to die <4880> and live <4800> with [you]. 4 Great <4183> [is] my boldness <3954> of speech toward <4314> you, great <4183> [is] my glorying <2746> of you: I am filled <4137> with comfort <3874>, I am exceeding <5248> joyful <5479> in all <3956> our tribulation <2347>. 5. For, when we were come <2064> into <1519> Macedonia <3109>, our flesh <4561> had <2192> no <3762> rest <0425>, but we were troubled <2346> on <1722> every <3956> side; without <1855> [were] fightings <3163>, within <2081> [were] fears <5401>. 6 Nevertheless <0235> God <2316>, that comforteth <3870> those <3588> that are cast <5011> down <5011>, comforted <3870> us by the coming <3952> of Titus <5103>; 7 And not by his coming <3952> only <3440>, but by the consolation <3874> wherewith <3739> he was comforted <3870> in you, when he told <0312> us your <5216> earnest <1972> desire <1972>, your <5216> mourning <3602>, your <5216> fervent <2205> mind toward <5228> me; so <5620> that I rejoiced <5463> the more <3123>. 8 For though <1499> I made <3076> you sorry <3076> with a letter <1992>, I do not repent <3338>, though <1499> I did repent <3338>: for I perceive <0991> that the same <1565> epistle <1992> hath made <3076> you sorry <3076>, though <1499> [it were] but for a season <5610>. 9 Now <3568> I rejoice <5463>, not that ye were made <3076> sorry <3076>, but that ye sorrowed <3076> to repentance <3341>: for ye were made <3076> sorry <3076> after <2596> a godly <2316> manner, that ye might receive <2210> damage <2210> by us in nothing <3367>. 10 For godly <2316> sorrow <3077> worketh <2716> repentance <3341> to salvation <4991> not to be repented <0278> of: but the sorrow <3077> of the world <2889> worketh <2716> death <2288>. 11 For behold <2400> this <5124> selfsame <0846> thing, that ye sorrowed <3076> after <2596> a godly <2316> sort, what <4214> carefulness <4710> it wrought <2716> in you, yea <0235>, [what] clearing <0627> of yourselves, yea <0235>, [what] indignation <0024>, yea <0235>, [what] fear <5401>, yea <0235>, [what] vehement <1972> desire <1972>, yea <0235>, [what] zeal <2205>, yea <0235>, [what] revenge <1557>! In all <3956> [things] ye have approved <4921> yourselves <1438> to be clear <0053> in this <3588> matter <4229>. 12. Wherefore <0686>, though <1499> I wrote <1125> unto you, [I did it] not for his cause <1752> that had done <0091> the wrong <0091>, nor <3761> for his cause <1752> that suffered wrong <0091>, but that our care <4710> for you in the sight <1799> of God <2316> might appear <5319> unto you. 13 Therefore <5124> we were comforted <3870> in your <5213> comfort <3874>: yea, and exceedingly <4056> the more <3123> joyed <5463> we for the joy <5479> of Titus <5103>, because <3754> his spirit <4151> was refreshed <0373> by you all <3956>. 14 For if <1487> I have boasted <2744> any <1536> thing to him of you, I am not ashamed <2617>; but as we spake <2980> all <3956> things to you in truth <0225>, even <2532> so <3779> our boasting <2746>, which <3588> [I made] before <1909> Titus <5103>, is found <1096> a truth <0225>. 15 And his inward <4698> affection <4698> is more <4056> abundant <4056> toward <1519> you, whilst he remembereth <0363> the obedience <5218> of you all <3956>, how <5613> with fear <5401> and trembling <5156> ye received <1209> him. 16 I rejoice <5463> therefore that I have confidence <2292> in you in all <3956> [things]. 2Corinthians 8 1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <0080>, we do <1107> you to wit <1107> of the grace <5485> of God <2316> bestowed <1325> on <1722> the churches <1577> of Macedonia <3109>; 2 How that in a great <4183> trial <1382> of affliction <2347> the abundance <4050> of their joy <5479> and their deep <0899> poverty <4432> abounded <4052> unto the riches <4149> of their liberality <0572>. 3 For to [their] power <1411>, I bear <3140> record <3140>, yea, and beyond <5228> [their] power <1411> [they were] willing <0830> of themselves <0830>; 4 Praying <1189> us with much <4183> intreaty <3874> that we would receive <1209> the gift <5485>, and [take upon us] the fellowship <2842> of the ministering <1248> to the saints <0040>. 5 And [this they did], not as we hoped <1679>, but first <4412> gave <1325> their own selves <1438> to the Lord <2962>, and unto us by the will <2307> of God <2316>. 6 Insomuch <1519> that we desired <3870> Titus <5103>, that as he had begun <4278>, so <3779> he would also <2532> finish <2005> in you the same <0846> grace <5485> also <2532>. 7. Therefore <0235>, as ye abound <4052> in every <3956> [thing, in] faith <4102>, and utterance <3056>, and knowledge <1108>, and [in] all <3956> diligence <4710>, and [in] your <5209> love <0026> to us, [see] that ye abound <4052> in this <5124> grace <5485> also <2532>. 8 I speak <3004> not by commandment <2003>, but by occasion <1223> of the forwardness <4710> of others <2087>, and to prove <1381> the sincerity <1103> of your <5212> love <0026>. 9 For ye know <1097> the grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that, though he was rich <4145>, yet for your <5216> sakes he became <4433> poor <4433>, that ye through his poverty <4432> might be rich <4147>. 10 And herein <5129> I give <1325> [my] advice <1106>: for this <5124> is expedient <4851> for you, who <3748> have begun <4278> before <4278>, not only <3440> to do <4160>, but also <2532> to be forward <2309> a year <4070> ago <0575>. 11 Now <3570> therefore <2532> perform <2005> the doing <4160> [of it]; that as <2509> [there was] a readiness <4288> to will <2309>, so <3779> [there may be] a performance <2005> also <2532> out of that which ye have <2192>. 12 For if there <1487> be first <4295> a willing <4288> mind <4288>, [it is] accepted <2144> according <2526> to that a man <5100> hath <2192>, [and] not according <2526> to that he hath <2192> not. 13 For [I mean] not that other <0243> men be eased <0425>, and ye burdened <2347>: 14 But by an equality <2471>, [that] now <3568> at <1722> this <3568> time <2540> your <5216> abundance <4051> [may be a supply] for their want <5303>, that their abundance <4051> also <2532> may be [a supply] for your <5216> want <5303>: that there may be equality <2471>: 15 As it is written <1125>, He that [had gathered] much <4183> had nothing <3756> over <4121>; and he that [had gathered] little <3641> had no <3756> lack <1641>. 16. But thanks <5485> [be] to God <2316>, which <3588> put <1325> the same <0846> earnest <4710> care <4710> into <1722> the heart <2588> of Titus <5103> for you. 17 For indeed <3303> he accepted <1209> the exhortation <3874>; but being <5225> more <4707> forward <4707>, of his own <0830> accord <0830> he went <1831> unto you. 18 And we have sent <4842> with him the brother <0080>, whose <3739> praise <1868> [is] in the gospel <2098> throughout <1223> all <3956> the churches <1577>; 19 And not [that] only <3440>, but who was also <2532> chosen <5500> of the churches <1577> to travel <4898> with us with this <5124> grace <5485>, which <3588> is administered <1247> by us to the glory <1391> of the same <3778> Lord <2962>, and [declaration of] your <5216> ready <4288> mind <4288>: 20 Avoiding <4724> this <5124>, that no <3361> man <5100> should blame <3469> us in this <5026> abundance <0100> which <3588> is administered <1247> by us: 21 Providing <4306> for honest <2570> things, not only <3440> in the sight <1799> of the Lord <2962>, but also <2532> in the sight <1799> of men <0444>. 22 And we have sent <4842> with them our brother <0080>, whom <3739> we have oftentimes <4178> proved <1381> diligent <4705> in many <4183> things, but now <3570> much <4183> more <4707> diligent <4707>, upon the great <4183> confidence <4006> which <3588> [I have] in you. 23 Whether <1535> [any do enquire] of Titus <5103>, [he is] my partner <2844> and fellowhelper <4904> concerning <1519> you: or <1535> our brethren <0080> [be enquired of, they are] the messengers <0652> of the churches <1577>, [and] the glory <1391> of Christ <5547>. 24 Wherefore <3767> shew <1731> ye to them, and before <4383> the churches <1577>, the proof <1732> of your <5216> love <0026>, and of our boasting <2746> on <5228> your <5216> behalf <5228>. 2Corinthians 9 1. For as touching <4012> the ministering <1248> to the saints <0040>, it is superfluous <4053> for me to write <1125> to you: 2 For I know <1492> the forwardness <4288> of your <5216> mind <4288>, for which <3739> I boast <2744> of you to them of Macedonia <3110>, that Achaia <0882> was ready <3903> a year <4070> ago <0575>; and your <5216> zeal <2205> hath provoked <2042> very <4119> many <4119>. 3 Yet <1161> have I sent <3992> the brethren <0080>, lest <3361> our boasting <2745> of you should be in vain <2758> in this <5129> behalf <3313>; that, as I said <3004>, ye may be ready <3903>: 4 Lest <3381> haply <4458> if <1437> they of Macedonia <3110> come <2064> with me, and find <2147> you unprepared <0532>, we (that we say <3004> not, ye) should be ashamed <2617> in this <3588> same <5026> confident <5287> boasting <2746>. 5 Therefore <3767> I thought <2233> it necessary <0316> to exhort <3870> the brethren <0080>, that they would go <4281> before <4281> unto you, and make <4294> up beforehand <4294> your <5216> bounty <2129>, whereof ye had notice <4293> before <4293>, that the same <5026> might be ready <2092>, as [a matter of] bounty <2129>, and not as [of] covetousness <4124>. 6. But this <5124> [I say], He which soweth <4687> sparingly <5340> shall reap <2325> also <2532> sparingly <5340>; and he which soweth <4687> bountifully <2129> shall reap <2325> also <2532> bountifully <2129>. 7 Every <1538> man according <2531> as he purposeth <4255> in his heart <2588>, [so let him give]; not grudgingly <3077>, or <2228> of necessity <0318>: for God <2316> loveth <0025> a cheerful <2431> giver <1395>. 8 And God <2316> [is] able <1415> to make <4052> all <3956> grace <5485> abound <4052> toward <1519> you; that ye, always <3842> having <2192> all <3956> sufficiency <0841> in all <3956> [things], may abound <4052> to every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>: 9 (As it is written <1125>, He hath dispersed <4650> abroad <4650>; he hath given <1325> to the poor <3993>: his righteousness <1343> remaineth <3306> for ever <0165>. 10 Now <1161> he that ministereth <2023> seed <4690> to the sower <4687> both <2532> minister <5524> bread <0740> for [your] food <1035>, and multiply <4129> your <5216> seed <4703> sown, and increase <0837> the fruits <1081> of your <5216> righteousness <1343>;) 11 Being enriched <4148> in every <3956> thing to all <3956> bountifulness <0572>, which <3748> causeth <2716> through <1223> us thanksgiving <2169> to God <2316>. 12 For the administration <1248> of this <5026> service <3009> not only <3440> supplieth <4322> the want <5303> of the saints <0040>, but is abundant <4052> also <2532> by many <4183> thanksgivings <2169> unto God <2316>; 13 Whiles by the experiment <1382> of this <5026> ministration <1248> they glorify <1392> God <2316> for your <5216> professed <3671> subjection <5292> unto the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>, and for [your] liberal <0572> distribution <2842> unto them, and unto all <3956> [men]; 14 And by their prayer <1162> for you, which long <1971> after <1971> you for the exceeding <5235> grace <5485> of God <2316> in you. 15 Thanks <5485> [be] unto God <2316> for his unspeakable <0411> gift <1431>. 2Corinthians 10 1. Now <1161> I Paul <3972> myself beseech <3870> you by the meekness <4236> and gentleness <1932> of Christ <5547>, who <3739> in presence <4383> [am] base <5011> among <1722> you, but being absent <0548> am bold <2292> toward <1519> you: 2 But I beseech <1189> [you], that I may not be bold <2292> when I am present <3918> with that confidence <4006>, wherewith <3739> I think <3049> to be bold <5111> against <1909> some <5100>, which <3588> think <3049> of us as if we walked <4043> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>. 3 For though we walk <4043> in the flesh <4561>, we do not war <4754> after <2596> the flesh <4561>: 4 (For the weapons <3696> of our warfare <4752> [are] not carnal <4559>, but mighty <1415> through God <2316> to the pulling <2506> down <2506> of strong <3794> holds <3794>;) 5 Casting <2507> down <2504> imaginations <3053>, and every <3956> high <5313> thing <5313> that exalteth <1869> itself against <2596> the knowledge <1108> of God <2316>, and bringing <0163> into captivity <0163> every <3956> thought <3540> to the obedience <5218> of Christ <5547>; 6 And having <2192> in a readiness <2092> to revenge <1556> all <3956> disobedience <3876>, when <3752> your <5216> obedience <5218> is fulfilled <4137>. 7. Do ye look <0991> on <0991> things after <2596> the outward <4383> appearance <4383>? If <1487> any <5100> man trust <3982> to himself <1438> that he is Christ's <5547>, let him of himself <1438> think <3049> this <5124> again <3825>, that, as he [is] Christ's <5547>, even <2532> so <3779> [are] we Christ's <5547>. 8 For though <1437> I should boast <2744> somewhat <5100> more <4055> of our authority <1849>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> hath given <1325> us for edification <3619>, and not for your <5216> destruction <2506>, I should not be ashamed <0153>: 9 That I may not seem <1380> as if I would terrify <1629> you by letters <1992>. 10 For [his] letters <1992>, say <5346> they, [are] weighty <0926> and powerful <2478>; but [his] bodily <4983> presence <3952> [is] weak <0772>, and [his] speech <3056> contemptible <1848>. 11 Let such <3634> an one think <3049> this <5124>, that, such <5108> as we are in word <3056> by letters <1992> when we are absent <0548>, such <5108> [will we be] also <2532> in deed <2041> when we are present <3918>. 12. For we dare <5111> not make ourselves <1438> of the number <1469>, or <2228> compare <4793> ourselves <1438> with some <5100> that commend <4921> themselves <1438>: but they measuring <3354> themselves <1438> by themselves <1438>, and comparing <4793> themselves <1438> among themselves <1438>, are not wise <4920>. 13 But we will not boast <2744> of things without <0280> [our] measure <0280>, but according <2596> to the measure <3358> of the rule <2583> which <3739> God <2316> hath distributed <3307> to us, a measure <3358> to reach <2185> even <2532> unto you. 14 For we stretch <5239> not ourselves <1438> beyond <5239> [our measure], as though we reached <2185> not unto you: for we are come <5348> as far <0891> as to you also <2532> in [preaching] the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>: 15 Not boasting <2744> of things without <0280> [our] measure <0280>, [that is], of other <0245> men's labours <2873>; but having <2192> hope <1680>, when your <5216> faith <4102> is increased <0837>, that we shall be enlarged <3170> by you according <2596> to our rule <2583> abundantly <4050>, 16 To preach <2097> the gospel <2097> in the [regions] beyond <5238> you, [and] not to boast <2744> in another <0245> man's <0245> line <2583> of things made <2092> ready <2092> to our hand. 17 But he that glorieth <2744>, let him glory <2744> in the Lord <2962>. 18 For not he that commendeth <4921> himself <1438> is approved <1384>, but whom <3739> the Lord <2962> commendeth <4921>. 2Corinthians 11 1. Would <3785> to God ye could bear <0430> with me a little <3398> in [my] folly <0877>: and indeed <0235> bear <0430> with me. 2 For I am jealous <2206> over you with godly <2316> jealousy <2205>: for I have espoused <0718> you to one <1520> husband <0435>, that I may present <3936> [you as] a chaste <0053> virgin <3933> to Christ <5547>. 3 But I fear <5399>, lest <3381> by any <3381> means <4458>, as the serpent <3789> beguiled <1818> Eve <2096> through <1722> his subtilty <3834>, so <3779> your <5216> minds <3540> should be corrupted <5351> from the simplicity <0572> that is in Christ <5547>. 4 For if <1487> he that cometh <2064> preacheth <2784> another <0243> Jesus <2424>, whom <3739> we have not preached <2784>, or <2228> [if] ye receive <2983> another <2087> spirit <4151>, which <3739> ye have not received <2983>, or <2228> another <2087> gospel <2098>, which ye have not accepted <1209>, ye might well <2573> bear <0430> with [him]. 5. For I suppose <3049> I was not <3367> a whit <3367> behind <5302> the very <5228> chiefest <3029> apostles <0652>. 6 But though <1499> [I be] rude <2399> in speech <3056>, yet <0235> not in knowledge <1108>; but we have been throughly <3956> made <5319> manifest <5319> among <1519> you in all <3956> things. 7 Have I committed <4160> an offence <0266> in abasing <5013> myself <1683> that ye might be exalted <5312>, because <3754> I have preached <2097> to you the gospel <2098> of God <2316> freely <1432>? 8 I robbed <4813> other <0243> churches <1577>, taking <2983> wages <3800> [of them], to do you service <1248>. 9 And when I was present <3918> with you, and wanted <5302>, I was chargeable <2655> to no <3762> man <3762>: for that which was lacking <5303> to me the brethren <0080> which came <2064> from Macedonia <3109> supplied <4322>: and in all <3956> [things] I have kept <5083> myself <1683> from being burdensome <0004> unto you, and [so] will I keep <5083> [myself]. 10 As the truth <0225> of Christ <5547> is in me, no <3762> man shall stop <5420> me of this <3778> boasting <2746> in the regions <2824> of Achaia <0882>. 11 Wherefore <1302>? because <3754> I love <0025> you not? God <2316> knoweth <1492>. 12 But what <3739> I do <4160>, that I will do <4160>, that I may cut <1581> off <1581> occasion <0874> from them which desire <2309> occasion <0874>; that wherein <1722> <3739> they glory <2744>, they may be found <2147> even <2532> as we. 13 For such <5108> [are] false <5570> apostles <5570>, deceitful <1386> workers <2040>, transforming <3345> themselves into <1519> the apostles <0652> of Christ <5547>. 14 And no <3756> marvel <2298>; for Satan <4567> himself <0846> is transformed <3345> into <1519> an angel <0032> of light <5457>. 15 Therefore <3767> [it is] no <3756> great <3173> thing if <1499> his ministers <1249> also <2532> be transformed <3345> as the ministers <1249> of righteousness <1343>; whose <3739> end <5056> shall be according <2596> to their works <2041>. 16. I say <3004> again <3825>, Let no <3361> man <5100> think <1380> me a fool <0878>; if <1490> otherwise <1490>, yet <2579> as a fool <0878> receive <1209> me, that I may boast <2744> myself a little <3398>. 17 That which <3739> I speak <2980>, I speak <2980> [it] not after <2596> the Lord <2962>, but as it were foolishly <0877>, in this <5026> confidence <5287> of boasting <2746>. 18 Seeing <1893> that many <4183> glory <2744> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, I will glory <2744> also <2504>. 19 For ye suffer <0430> fools <0878> gladly <2234>, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise <5429>. 20 For ye suffer <0430>, if <1487> a man <5100> bring <2615> you into bondage <2615>, if <1487> a man <5100> devour <2719> [you], if <1487> a man <5100> take <2983> [of you], if <1487> a man <5100> exalt <1869> himself, if <1487> a man <5100> smite <1194> you on <1519> the face <4383>. 21 I speak <3004> as concerning <2596> reproach <0819>, as though <3754> we had been weak <0770>. Howbeit whereinsoever <0302> any <5100> is bold <5111>, (I speak <3004> foolishly <0877>,) I am bold <5111> also <2504>. 22. Are they Hebrews <1445>? so <2504> [am] I. Are they Israelites <2475>? so <2504> [am] I. Are they the seed <4690> of Abraham <0011>? so <2504> [am] I. 23 Are they ministers <1249> of Christ <5547>? (I speak <2980> as a fool <3912>) I [am] more <5228>; in labours <2873> more <4056> abundant <4056>, in stripes <4127> above <5234> measure <5234>, in prisons <5438> more <4056> frequent <4056>, in deaths <2288> oft <4178>. 24 Of the Jews <2453> five <3999> times <3999> received <2983> I forty <5062> [stripes] save <3844> one <3391>. 25 Thrice <5151> was I beaten <4463> with rods <4463>, once <0530> was I stoned <3034>, thrice <5151> I suffered shipwreck <3489>, a night <3574> and a day <3574> I have been <4160> in the deep <1037>; 26 [In] journeyings <3597> often <4178>, [in] perils <2794> of waters <4215>, [in] perils <2794> of robbers <3027>, [in] perils <2794> by [mine own] countrymen <1085>, [in] perils <2794> by the heathen <1484>, [in] perils <2794> in the city <4172>, [in] perils <2794> in the wilderness <2047>, [in] perils <2794> in the sea <2281>, [in] perils <2794> among <1722> false <5569> brethren <5569>; 27 In weariness <2873> and painfulness <3449>, in watchings <0070> often <4178>, in hunger <3042> and thirst <1373>, in fastings <3521> often <4178>, in cold <5592> and nakedness <1132>. 28 Beside <5565> those <3588> things that are without <3924>, that which <3588> cometh <1999> upon me daily <2250>, the care <3308> of all <3956> the churches <1577>. 29 Who <5101> is weak <0770>, and I am not weak <0770>? who <5101> is offended <4624>, and I burn <4448> not? 30 If <1487> I must <1163> needs glory <2744>, I will glory <2744> of the things which concern <4012> mine <3450> infirmities <0769>. 31 The God <2316> and Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, which <3588> is blessed <2128> for evermore <0165>, knoweth <1492> that I lie <5574> not. 32 In Damascus <1154> the governor <1481> under Aretas <0702> the king <0935> kept <5432> the city <4172> of the Damascenes <1153> with a garrison <5432>, desirous <2309> to apprehend <4084> me: 33 And through <1223> a window <2376> in a basket <4553> was I let <5465> down <5465> by the wall <5038>, and escaped <1628> his hands <5495>. 2Corinthians 12 1. It is not expedient <4851> for me doubtless <1211> to glory <2744>. I will come <2064> to visions <3701> and revelations <0602> of the Lord <2962>. 2 I knew <1492> a man <0444> in Christ <5547> above <4253> fourteen <1180> years <2094> ago <4253>, (whether in the body <4983>, I cannot <1492> tell <1492>; or <1535> whether <1535> out of the body <4983>, I cannot <1492> tell <1492>: God <2316> knoweth <1492>;) such <5108> an one caught <0726> up to the third <5154> heaven <3772>. 3 And I knew <1492> such <5108> a man <0444>, (whether in the body <4983>, or <1535> out of the body <4983>, I cannot <1492> tell <1492>: God <2316> knoweth <1492>;) 4 How that he was caught <0726> up into <1519> paradise <3857>, and heard <0191> unspeakable <0731> words <4487>, which <3739> it is not lawful <1832> for a man <0444> to utter <2980>. 5 Of such <5108> an one will I glory <2744>: yet <1161> of myself <1683> I will not glory <2744>, but in mine <3450> infirmities <0769>. 6 For though <1437> I would desire <2309> to glory <2744>, I shall not be a fool <0878>; for I will say <2046> the truth <0225>: but [now] I forbear <5339>, lest <3361> any <5100> man should think <3049> of me above <5228> that which <3739> he seeth <0991> me [to be], or <2228> [that] he heareth <0191> of me. 7 And lest <3361> I should be exalted <5229> above measure through the abundance <5236> of the revelations <0602>, there was given <1325> to me a thorn <4647> in the flesh <4561>, the messenger <0032> of Satan <4566> to buffet <2852> me, lest <3361> I should be exalted <5229> above measure. 8 For this <5127> thing I besought <3870> the Lord <2962> thrice <5151>, that it might depart <0868> from me. 9 And he said <2046> unto me, My grace <5485> is sufficient <0714> for thee: for my strength <1411> is made <5048> perfect <5048> in weakness <0769>. Most gladly <2236> therefore <3767> will I rather <3123> glory <2744> in my infirmities <0769>, that the power <1411> of Christ <5547> may rest <1981> upon me. 10 Therefore <1352> I take pleasure <2106> in infirmities <0769>, in reproaches <5196>, in necessities <0318>, in persecutions <1375>, in distresses <4730> for Christ's <5547> sake: for when <3752> I am <1510> weak <0770>, then <2532> am <1510> I strong <1415>. 11. I am become <1096> a fool <0878> in glorying <2744>; ye have compelled <0315> me: for I ought <3784> to have been commended <4921> of you: for in nothing <3762> am I behind <5302> the very <3029> chiefest <3029> apostles <0652>, though <1499> I be nothing <3762>. 12 Truly <3303> the signs <4592> of an apostle <0652> were wrought <2716> among <1722> you in all <3956> patience <5281>, in signs <4592>, and wonders <5059>, and mighty <1411> deeds <1411>. 13 For what <5101> is it wherein <3588> ye were inferior <2274> to other <3062> churches <1577>, except <1508> [it be] that I myself was not burdensome <2655> to you? forgive <5483> me this <5026> wrong <0093>. 14 Behold <2400>, the third <5154> time I am ready <2093> to come <2064> to you; and I will not be burdensome <2655> to you: for I seek <2212> not yours <5216>, but you: for the children <5043> ought <3784> not to lay <2343> up for the parents <1118>, but the parents <1118> for the children <5043>. 15 And I will very gladly <2236> spend <1159> and be spent <1550> for you; though <1499> the more <4056> abundantly <4056> I love <0025> you, the less <2276> I be loved <0025>. 16 But be it so, I did not burden <2599> you: nevertheless <0235>, being <5225> crafty <3835>, I caught <2983> you with guile <1388>. 17 Did I make <4122> a gain <4122> of you by any <5100> of them whom <3739> I sent <0649> unto you? 18 I desired <3870> Titus <5103>, and with [him] I sent <4882> a brother <0080>. Did Titus <5103> make <4122> a gain <4122> of you? walked <4043> we not in the same <0846> spirit <4151>? [walked we] not in the same <0846> steps <2487>? 19 Again <3825>, think <1380> ye that we excuse <0626> ourselves unto you? we speak <2980> before <2714> God <2316> in Christ <5547>: but [we do] all <3956> things, dearly beloved <0027>, for your <5216> edifying <3619>. 20 For I fear <5399>, lest <3381>, when I come <2064>, I shall not find <2147> you such <3634> as I would <2309>, and [that] I shall be found <2147> unto you such <3634> as ye would <2309> not: lest <3381> [there be] debates <2054>, envyings <2205>, wraths <2372>, strifes <2052>, backbitings <2636>, whisperings <5587>, swellings <5450>, tumults <0181>: 21 [And] lest <3361>, when I come <2064> again <3825>, my God <2316> will humble <5013> me among <4314> you, and [that] I shall bewail <3996> many <4183> which <3588> have sinned <4258> already <4258>, and have not repented <3340> of the uncleanness <0167> and fornication <4202> and lasciviousness <0766> which <3739> they have committed <4238>. 2Corinthians 13 1. This <5124> [is] the third <5154> [time] I am coming <2064> to you. In the mouth <4750> of two <1417> or <2532> three <5140> witnesses <3144> shall every <3956> word <4487> be established <2476>. 2 I told <4280> you before <4280>, and foretell <4302> you, as if <1437> I were present <3918>, the second <1208> time; and being absent <0548> now <3568> I write <1125> to them which heretofore <4258> have sinned <4258>, and to all <3956> other <3062>, that, if I come <2064> again <3825>, I will not spare <5339>: 3 Since <1893> ye seek <2212> a proof <1382> of Christ <5547> speaking <2980> in me, which <3739> to you-ward <5209> is not weak <0770>, but is mighty <1414> in you. 4 For though <1487> he was crucified <4717> through <1537> weakness <0769>, yet <0235> he liveth <2198> by the power <1411> of God <2316>. For we also <2532> are weak <0770> in him, but we shall live <2198> with him by the power <1411> of God <2316> toward <1519> you. 5 Examine <3985> yourselves <1438>, whether <1487> ye be in the faith <4102>; prove <1381> your <1438> own selves <1438>. Know <1921> ye not your <1438> own selves <1438>, how that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is in you, except <1509> ye be reprobates <0096>? 6 But I trust <1679> that ye shall know <1097> that we are not reprobates <0096>. 7. Now <1161> I pray <2172> to God <2316> that ye do <4160> no <3367> evil <2556>; not that we should appear <5316> approved <1384>, but that ye should do <4160> that which is honest <2570>, though we be as reprobates <0096>. 8 For we can <1410> do nothing <5100> against <2596> the truth <0225>, but for the truth <0225>. 9 For we are glad <5463>, when <3752> we are weak <0770>, and ye are strong <1415>: and this <5124> also <2532> we wish <2172>, [even] your <5216> perfection <2676>. 10 Therefore <5124> I write <1125> these <5023> things being absent <0548>, lest <3361> being present <3918> I should use <5530> sharpness <0664>, according <2596> to the power <1849> which <3739> the Lord <2962> hath given <1325> me to edification <3619>, and not to destruction <2506>. 11. Finally <3063>, brethren <0080>, farewell <5463>. Be perfect <2675>, be of good comfort <3870>, be of one <0846> mind <5426>, live <1514> in peace <1514>; and the God <2316> of love <0026> and peace <1515> shall be with you. 12 Greet <0782> one <0240> another <0240> with an holy <0040> kiss <5370>. 13 All <3956> the saints <0040> salute <0782> you. 14 The grace <5485> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and the love <0026> of God <2316>, and the communion <2842> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. Galatians 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652>, (not of men <0444>, neither <3761> by man <0444>, but by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and God <2316> the Father <3962>, who <3588> raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>;) 2 And all <3956> the brethren <0080> which are with me, unto the churches <1577> of Galatia <1053>: 3 Grace <5485> [be] to you and peace <1515> from God <2316> the Father <3962>, and [from] our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, 4 Who <3588> gave <1325> himself <1438> for our sins <0266>, that he might deliver <1807> us from this <3588> present <1764> evil <4190> world <0165>, according <2596> to the will <2307> of God <2316> and our Father <3962>: 5 To whom <3739> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 6. I marvel <2296> that ye are so <3779> soon <5030> removed <3346> from him that called <2564> you into <1722> the grace <5485> of Christ <5547> unto another <2087> gospel <2098>: 7 Which <3739> is not another <0243>; but there be some <5100> that trouble <5015> you, and would <2309> pervert <3344> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>. 8 But though <1437> we, or <2228> an angel <0032> from heaven <3772>, preach <2097> any other gospel <2097> unto you than <3844> that which <3739> we have preached <2097> unto you, let him be accursed <0331>. 9 As we said <4280> before <4280>, so <2532> say <3004> I now <0737> again <3825>, If <1487> any <1536> [man] preach <2097> any <1536> other gospel <2097> unto you than <3844> that ye have received <3880>, let him be accursed <0331>. 10. For do I now <0737> persuade <3982> men <0444>, or <2228> God <2316>? or <2228> do I seek <2212> to please <0700> men <0444>? for if <1487> I yet <2089> pleased <0700> men <0444>, I should not be the servant <1401> of Christ <5547>. 11 But I certify <1107> you, brethren <0080>, that the gospel <2098> which <3588> was preached <2097> of me is not after <2596> man <0444>. 12 For I neither <3761> received <3880> it of man <0444>, neither <3777> was I taught <1321> [it], but by the revelation <0602> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 13 For ye have heard <0191> of my conversation <0391> in time <4218> past in the Jews <2454>' religion <2454>, how that beyond <5236> measure <5236> I persecuted <1377> the church <1577> of God <2316>, and wasted <4199> it: 14 And profited <4298> in the Jews <2454>' religion <2454> above <5228> many <4183> my equals <4915> in mine <3450> own nation <1085>, being <5225> more <4056> exceedingly <4056> zealous <2207> of the traditions <3862> of my fathers <3967>. 15 But when <3753> it pleased <2106> God <2316>, who <3588> separated <0873> me from my mother's <3384> womb <2836>, and called <2564> [me] by his grace <5485>, 16 To reveal <0601> his Son <5207> in me, that I might preach <2097> him among <1722> the heathen <1484>; immediately <2112> I conferred <4323> not with flesh <4561> and blood <0129>: 17 Neither <3761> went <0424> I up to Jerusalem <2414> to them which were apostles <0652> before <4253> me; but I went <0565> into <1519> Arabia <0688>, and returned <5290> again <3825> unto Damascus <1154>. 18 Then <1899> after <2596> three <5140> years <2094> I went <0424> up to Jerusalem <2414> to see <2477> Peter <4074>, and abode <1961> with him fifteen <1178> days <2250>. 19 But other <2087> of the apostles <0652> saw <1492> I none <3756>, save <1508> James <2385> the Lord's <2962> brother <0080>. 20 Now <1161> the things which <3739> I write <1125> unto you <5213>, behold <2400>, before <1799> God <2316>, I lie <5574> not. 21 Afterwards <1899> I came <2064> into <1519> the regions <2824> of Syria <4947> and Cilicia <2791>; 22 And was <2252> unknown <0050> by face <4383> unto the churches <1577> of Judaea <2449> which <3588> were in Christ <5547>: 23 But they had heard <0191> only <3440>, That he which persecuted <1377> us in times <4218> past now <3568> preacheth <2097> the faith <4102> which <3739> once <4218> he destroyed <4199>. 24 And they glorified <1392> God <2316> in me. Galatians 2 1. Then <1899> fourteen <1180> years <2094> after <1223> I went <0305> up again <3825> to Jerusalem <2414> with Barnabas <0921>, and took <4838> Titus <5103> with [me] also <2532>. 2 And I went <0305> up by revelation <0602>, and communicated <0394> unto them that gospel <2098> which <3739> I preach <2784> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, but privately <2398> to them which were of reputation <1380>, lest <3381> by any <3381> means <4458> I should run <5143>, or <2228> had run <5143>, in vain <2756>. 3 But neither <3761> Titus <5103>, who <3588> was with me, being <5607> a Greek <1672>, was compelled <0315> to be circumcised <4059>: 4 And that because <1223> of false <5569> brethren <5569> unawares <3920> brought <3920> in, who <3748> came <3922> in privily <3922> to spy <2684> out our liberty <1657> which <3739> we have <2192> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, that they might bring <2615> us into bondage <2615>: 5 To whom <3739> we gave <1502> place <1502> by subjection <5292>, no, not for an hour <5610>; that the truth <0225> of the gospel <2098> might continue <1265> with you. 6 But of these who seemed <1380> to be somewhat <5100>, (whatsoever <3696> they were, it maketh <1308> no <3762> matter <1308> to me: God <2316> accepteth <2983> no <3756> man's <0444> person <4383>:) for they who seemed <1380> [to be somewhat] in conference <4323> added <4323> nothing <3762> to me: 7 But contrariwise <5121>, when they saw <1492> that the gospel <2098> of the uncircumcision <0203> was committed <4100> unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision <4061> [was] unto Peter <4074>; 8 (For he that wrought <1754> effectually <1754> in Peter <4074> to the apostleship <0651> of the circumcision <4061>, the same <2532> was mighty <1754> in me toward <1519> the Gentiles <1484>:) 9 And when James <2385>, Cephas <2786>, and John <2491>, who <3588> seemed <1380> to be pillars <4769>, perceived <1097> the grace <5485> that was given <1325> unto me, they gave <1325> to me and Barnabas <0921> the right <1188> hands of fellowship <2842>; that we [should go] unto the heathen <1484>, and they unto the circumcision <4061>. 10 Only <3440> [they would] that we should remember <3421> the poor <4434>; the same <5124> which <3739> I also <2532> was forward <4704> to do <4160>. 11. But when <3753> Peter <4074> was come <2064> to Antioch <0490>, I withstood <0436> him to the face <4383>, because <3754> he was to be blamed <2607>. 12 For before <4253> that certain <5100> came <2064> from James <2385>, he did eat <4906> with the Gentiles <1484>: but when <3753> they were come <2064>, he withdrew <5288> and separated <0873> himself <1438>, fearing <5399> them which were of the circumcision <4061>. 13 And the other <3062> Jews <2453> dissembled <4942> likewise <2532> with him; insomuch <5620> that Barnabas <0921> also <2532> was carried <4879> away <4879> with their dissimulation <5272>. 14 But when <3753> I saw <1492> that they walked <3716> not uprightly <3716> according <4314> to the truth <0225> of the gospel <2098>, I said <2036> unto Peter <4074> before <1715> [them] all <3956>, If <1487> thou, being <5225> a Jew <2453>, livest <2198> after the manner <1483> of Gentiles <1483>, and not as do the Jews <2452>, why <5101> compellest <0315> thou the Gentiles <1484> to live <2198> as do the Jews <2450>? 15 We [who are] Jews <2453> by nature <5449>, and not sinners <0268> of the Gentiles <1484>, 16 Knowing <1492> that a man <0444> is not justified <1344> by the works <2041> of the law <3551>, but <3362> by the faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, even <2532> we have believed <4100> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that we might be justified <1344> by the faith <4102> of Christ <5547>, and not by the works <2041> of the law <3551>: for by the works <2041> of the law <3551> shall no <3956> flesh <4561> be justified <1344>. 17 But if <1487>, while we seek <2212> to be justified <1344> by Christ <5547>, we ourselves also <2532> are found <2147> sinners <0268>, [is] therefore <0686> Christ <5547> the minister <1249> of sin <0266>? God <1096> forbid <1096>. 18 For if <1487> I build <3618> again <3825> the things which <3739> I destroyed <2647>, I make <4921> myself <1683> a transgressor <3848>. 19 For I through <1223> the law <3551> am dead <0599> to the law <3551>, that I might live <2198> unto God <2316>. 20 I am crucified <4957> with Christ <5547>: nevertheless <1161> I live <2198>; yet <3765> not I, but Christ <5547> liveth <2198> in me: and the life which <3739> I now <3568> live <2198> in the flesh <4561> I live <2198> by the faith <4102> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, who <3588> loved <0025> me, and gave <3860> himself <1438> for me. 21 I do not frustrate <0114> the grace <5485> of God <2316>: for if <1487> righteousness <1343> [come] by the law <3551>, then <0686> Christ <5547> is dead <0599> in vain <1432>. Galatians 3 1. O foolish <0453> Galatians <1052>, who <5101> hath bewitched <0940> you, that ye should not obey <3982> the truth <0225>, before <2596> whose <3739> eyes <3788> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> hath been evidently <4270> set <4270> forth <4270>, crucified <4717> among <1722> you? 2 This <5124> only <3440> would <2309> I learn <3129> of you, Received <2983> ye the Spirit <4151> by the works <2041> of the law <3551>, or <2228> by the hearing <0189> of faith <4102>? 3 Are ye so <3779> foolish <0453>? having begun <1728> in the Spirit <4151>, are ye now <3568> made <2005> perfect <2005> by the flesh <4561>? 4 Have ye suffered <3958> so <5118> many <5118> things in vain <1500>? if <1489> [it be] yet <2596> in vain <1500>. 5 He therefore <3767> that ministereth <2023> to you the Spirit <4151>, and worketh <1754> miracles <1411> among <1722> you, [doeth he it] by the works <2041> of the law <3551>, or <2228> by the hearing <0189> of faith <4102>? 6. Even <2531> as Abraham <0011> believed <4100> God <2316>, and it was accounted <3049> to him for righteousness <1343>. 7 Know <1097> ye therefore <0686> that they which are of faith <4102>, the same <3778> are the children <5207> of Abraham <0011>. 8 And the scripture <1124>, foreseeing <4275> that God <2316> would justify <1344> the heathen <1484> through <1537> faith <4102>, preached <4283> before <4283> the gospel <4283> unto Abraham <0011>, [saying], In thee shall all <3956> nations <1484> be blessed <1757>. 9 So <5620> then they which be of faith <4102> are blessed <2127> with faithful <4103> Abraham <0011>. 10 For as many <3745> as are of the works <2041> of the law <3551> are under <5259> the curse <2671>: for it is written <1125>, Cursed <1944> [is] every <3956> one that continueth <1696> not in all <3956> things which <3588> are written <1125> in the book <0975> of the law <3551> to do <4160> them. 11 But that no <3762> man <3762> is justified <1344> by the law <3551> in the sight <3844> of God <2316>, [it is] evident <1212>: for, The just <1342> shall live <2198> by faith <4102>. 12 And the law <3551> is not of faith <4102>: but, The man <0444> that doeth <4160> them shall live <2198> in them. 13 Christ <5547> hath redeemed <1805> us from the curse <2671> of the law <3551>, being made <1096> a curse <2671> for us: for it is written <1125>, Cursed <1944> [is] every <3956> one that hangeth <2910> on <1909> a tree <3586>: 14 That the blessing <2129> of Abraham <0011> might come <1096> on <1519> the Gentiles <1484> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; that we might receive <2983> the promise <1860> of the Spirit <4151> through <1223> faith <4102>. 15 Brethren <0080>, I speak <3004> after <2596> the manner of men <0444>; Though <3676> [it be] but a man's <0444> covenant <1242>, yet [if it be] confirmed <2964>, no <3762> man <3762> disannulleth <0114>, or <2228> addeth <1928> thereto <1928>. 16 Now <1161> to Abraham <0011> and his seed <4690> were the promises <1860> made <4483>. He saith <3004> not, And to seeds <4690>, as of many <4183>; but as of one <1520>, And to thy seed <4690>, which <3739> is Christ <5547>. 17 And this <5124> I say <3004>, [that] the covenant <1242>, that was confirmed <4300> before <4300> of God <2316> in Christ <5547>, the law <3551>, which was four <5071> hundred <5071> and thirty <5144> years <2094> after <3326>, cannot <3756> disannul <0208>, that it should make <2673> the promise <1860> of none <2673> effect <2673>. 18 For if <1487> the inheritance <2817> [be] of the law <3551>, [it is] no <3765> more <2089> of promise <1860>: but God <2316> gave <5483> [it] to Abraham <0011> by promise <1860>. 19. Wherefore <5101> then <3767> [serveth] the law <3551>? It was added <4369> because <5484> of transgressions <3847>, till <0891> the seed <4690> should come <2064> to whom <3739> the promise <1861> was made <1861>; [and it was] ordained <1299> by angels <0032> in the hand <5495> of a mediator <3316>. 20 Now <1161> a mediator <3316> is not [a mediator] of one <1520>, but God <2316> is one <1520>. 21 [Is] the law <3551> then <3767> against <2596> the promises <1860> of God <2316>? God <1096> forbid <1096>: for if <1487> there had been a law <3551> given <1325> which <3588> could <1410> have given <2227> life <2227>, verily <3689> righteousness <1343> should have been <2258> by the law <3551>. 22 But the scripture <1124> hath concluded <4788> all <3956> under <5259> sin <0266>, that the promise <1860> by faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> might be given <1325> to them that believe <4100>. 23 But before <4253> faith <4102> came <2064>, we were kept <5432> under <5259> the law <3551>, shut <4788> up unto the faith <4102> which should <3195> afterwards be revealed <0601>. 24 Wherefore <5620> the law <3551> was our schoolmaster <3807> [to bring us] unto Christ <5547>, that we might be justified <1344> by faith <4102>. 25 But after that faith <4102> is come <2064>, we are no <3765> longer <2089> under <5259> a schoolmaster <3807>. 26 For ye are all <3956> the children <5207> of God <2316> by faith <4102> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 27 For as many <3745> of you as have been baptized <0907> into <1519> Christ <5547> have put <1746> on <1746> Christ <5547>. 28 There is neither <3756> Jew <2453> nor <3761> Greek <1672>, there is neither <3756> bond <1401> nor <3761> free <1658>, there is neither <3756> male <0730> nor <3761> female <2338>: for ye are all <3956> one <1520> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 29 And if <1487> ye [be] Christ's <5547>, then <0686> are ye Abraham's <0011> seed <4690>, and heirs <2818> according <2596> to the promise <1860>. Galatians 4 1. Now <1161> I say <3004>, [That] the heir <2818>, as long <5550> as he is a child <3516>, differeth <1308> nothing <3762> from a servant <1401>, though he be lord <2962> of all <3956>; 2 But is under <5259> tutors <2012> and governors <3623> until <0891> the time <4287> appointed <4287> of the father <3962>. 3 Even <2532> so <3779> we, when <3753> we were children <3516>, were in bondage <1402> under <5259> the elements <4747> of the world <2889>: 4 But when <3753> the fulness <4138> of the time <5550> was come <2064>, God <2316> sent <1821> forth <1821> his Son <5207>, made <1096> of a woman <1135>, made <1096> under <5259> the law <3551>, 5 To redeem <1805> them that were under <5259> the law <3551>, that we might receive <0618> the adoption <5206> of sons <5206>. 6 And because <3754> ye are sons <5207>, God <2316> hath sent <1821> forth <1821> the Spirit <4151> of his Son <5207> into <1519> your <5216> hearts <2588>, crying <2896>, Abba <0005>, Father <3962>. 7 Wherefore <5620> thou art <1488> no <3765> more <2089> a servant <1401>, but a son <5207>; and if <1487> a son <5207>, then <2532> an heir <2818> of God <2316> through <1223> Christ <5547>. 8. Howbeit <0235> then <5119>, when ye knew <1492> not God <2316>, ye did service <1398> unto them which by nature <5449> are no <3361> gods <2316>. 9 But now <3568>, after that ye have known <1097> God <2316>, or <1161> rather <3123> are known <1097> of God <2316>, how <4459> turn <1994> ye again <3825> to the weak <0772> and beggarly <4434> elements <4747>, whereunto <3739> ye desire <2309> again <3825> to be in bondage <1398>? 10 Ye observe <3906> days <2250>, and months <3376>, and times <2540>, and years <1763>. 11 I am afraid <5399> of you, lest <3381> I have bestowed <2872> upon you labour <2872> in vain <1500>. 12. Brethren <0080>, I beseech <1189> you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye [are]: ye have not injured <0091> me at <3762> all <3762>. 13 Ye know <1492> how <3754> through <1223> infirmity <0769> of the flesh <4561> I preached <2097> the gospel <2097> unto you at the first <4386>. 14 And my temptation <3986> which was in my flesh <4561> ye despised <1848> not, nor <3761> rejected <1609>; but received <1209> me as an angel <0032> of God <2316>, [even] as Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 15 Where <5101> is then <3767> the blessedness <3108> ye spake of? for I bear <3140> you record <3140>, that, if <1487> [it had been] possible <1415>, ye would have plucked <1846> out your <5216> own eyes <3788>, and have given <1325> them to me. 16 Am I therefore <5620> become <1096> your <5216> enemy <2190>, because I tell <0226> you the truth <0226>? 17. They zealously <2206> affect <2206> you, [but] not well <2573>; yea <0235>, they would <2309> exclude <1576> you, that ye might affect <2206> them. 18 But [it is] good <2570> to be zealously <2206> affected <2206> always <3842> in [a] good <2570> [thing], and not only <3440> when <3588> I am present <3918> with you. 19. My little <5040> children <5040>, of whom <3739> I travail <5605> in birth <5605> again <3825> until <0891> Christ <5547> be formed <3445> in you, 20 I desire <2309> to be present <3918> with you now <0737>, and to change <0236> my voice <5456>; for I stand <0639> in doubt <0639> of you. 21. Tell <3004> me, ye that desire <2309> to be under <5259> the law <3551>, do ye not hear <0191> the law <3551>? 22 For it is written <1125>, that Abraham <0011> had <2192> two <1417> sons <5207>, the one <1520> by a bondmaid <3814>, the other <1520> by a freewoman <1658>. 23 But he [who was] of the bondwoman <3814> was born <1080> after <2596> the flesh <4561>; but he of the freewoman <1658> [was] by promise <1860>. 24 Which <3748> things are an allegory <0238>: for these <3778> are the two <1417> covenants <1242>; the one <3391> from the mount <3735> Sinai <4614>, which gendereth <1080> to bondage <1397>, which <3748> is Agar <0028>. 25 For this <3588> Agar <0028> is mount <3735> Sinai <4614> in Arabia <0688>, and answereth <4960> to Jerusalem <2419> which <3588> now <3568> is, and is in bondage <1398> with her children <5043>. 26 But Jerusalem <2419> which is above <0507> is free <1658>, which <3748> is the mother <3384> of us all <3956>. 27 For it is written <1125>, Rejoice <2165>, [thou] barren <4723> that bearest <5088> not; break <4486> forth <4486> and cry <0994>, thou that travailest <5605> not: for the desolate <2048> hath many <4183> more <3123> children <5043> than <2228> she which hath <2192> an husband <0435>. 28 Now <1161> we, brethren <0080>, as Isaac <2464> was, are the children <5043> of promise <1860>. 29 But as then <5119> he that was born <1080> after <2596> the flesh <4561> persecuted <1377> him [that was born] after <2596> the Spirit <4151>, even <2532> so <3779> [it is] now <3568>. 30 Nevertheless <0235> what <5101> saith <3004> the scripture <1124>? Cast <1544> out the bondwoman <3814> and her son <5207>: for the son <5207> of the bondwoman <3814> shall not be heir <2816> with the son <5207> of the freewoman <1658>. 31 So <0686> then <0686>, brethren <0080>, we are not children <5043> of the bondwoman <3814>, but of the free <1658>. Galatians 5 1. Stand <4739> fast therefore <3767> in the liberty <1657> wherewith <3739> Christ <5547> hath made <1659> us free <1659>, and be not entangled <1758> again <3825> with the yoke <2218> of bondage <1397>. 2 Behold <2396>, I Paul <3972> say <3004> unto you, that if <1437> ye be circumcised <4059>, Christ <5547> shall profit <5623> you nothing <3762>. 3 For I testify <3143> again <3825> to every <3956> man <0444> that is circumcised <4059>, that he is a debtor <3781> to do <4160> the whole <3650> law <3551>. 4 Christ <5547> is become <2673> of no <2673> effect <2673> unto you, whosoever <3748> of you are justified <1344> by the law <3551>; ye are fallen <1601> from grace <5485>. 5 For we through the Spirit <4151> wait <0553> for the hope <1680> of righteousness <1343> by faith <4102>. 6 For in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> availeth <2480> any <5100> thing, nor <3777> uncircumcision <0203>; but faith <4102> which worketh <1754> by love <0026>. 7 Ye did run <5143> well <2573>; who <5101> did hinder <0348> you that ye should not obey <3982> the truth <0225>? 8 This <3588> persuasion <3988> [cometh] not of him that calleth <2564> you. 9 A little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220> the whole <3650> lump <5445>. 10 I have confidence <3982> in you through <1722> the Lord <2962>, that ye will be none <3762> otherwise <0243> minded <5426>: but he that troubleth <5015> you shall bear <0941> his judgment <2917>, whosoever <0302> he be. 11 And I, brethren <0080>, if <1487> I yet <2089> preach <2784> circumcision <4061>, why <5101> do I yet <2089> suffer <1377> persecution <1377>? then <0686> is the offence <4625> of the cross <4716> ceased <2673>. 12 I would <3785> they were even <2532> cut <0609> off <0609> which trouble <0387> you. 13. For, brethren <0080>, ye have been called <2564> unto liberty <1657>; only <3440> [use] not liberty <1657> for an occasion <0874> to the flesh <4561>, but by love <0026> serve <1398> one <0240> another <0240>. 14 For all <3956> the law <3551> is fulfilled <4137> in one <1520> word <3056>, [even] in this <3588>; Thou shalt love <0025> thy neighbour <4139> as thyself <1438>. 15 But if <1487> ye bite <1143> and devour <2719> one <0240> another <0240>, take heed <0991> that ye be not consumed <0355> one <0240> of another <0240>. 16 [This] I say <3004> then <1161>, Walk <4043> in the Spirit <4151>, and ye shall not fulfil <5055> the lust <1939> of the flesh <4561>. 17 For the flesh <4561> lusteth <1937> against <2596> the Spirit <4151>, and the Spirit <4151> against <2596> the flesh <4561>: and these <5023> are contrary <0480> the one <0240> to the other <0240>: so <2443> that ye cannot <3361> do <4160> the things that ye would <2309>. 18 But if <1487> ye be led <0071> of the Spirit <4151>, ye are not under <5259> the law <3551>. 19 Now <1161> the works <2041> of the flesh <4561> are manifest <5318>, which <3748> are [these]; Adultery <3430>, fornication <4202>, uncleanness <0167>, lasciviousness <0766>, 20 Idolatry <1495>, witchcraft <5331>, hatred <2189>, variance <2054>, emulations <2205>, wrath <2372>, strife <2052>, seditions <1370>, heresies <0139>, 21 Envyings <5355>, murders <5408>, drunkenness <3178>, revellings <2970>, and such <5125> like <3664>: of the which <3739> I tell <4302> you before <4302>, as I have also <2532> told <4277> [you] in time past <4302>, that they which do <4238> such <5108> things shall not inherit <2816> the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>. 22 But the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> is love <0026>, joy <5479>, peace <1515>, longsuffering <3115>, gentleness <5544>, goodness <0019>, faith <4102>, 23 Meekness <4236>, temperance <1466>: against <2596> such <5108> there is no <3756> law <3551>. 24 And they that are Christ's <5547> have crucified <4717> the flesh <4561> with the affections <3804> and lusts <1939>. 25 If <1487> we live <2198> in the Spirit <4151>, let us also <2532> walk <4748> in the Spirit <4151>. 26 Let us not be desirous <2755> of vain <2755> glory <2755>, provoking <4292> one <0240> another <0240>, envying <5354> one <0240> another <0240>. Galatians 6 1. Brethren <0080>, if <1437> a man <0444> be overtaken <4301> in a fault <3900>, ye which <3588> are spiritual <4152>, restore <2675> such <5108> an one in the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>; considering <4648> thyself <4572>, lest <3361> thou also <2532> be tempted <3985>. 2 Bear <0941> ye one <0240> another's <0240> burdens <0922>, and so <3779> fulfil <0378> the law <3551> of Christ <5547>. 3 For if <1487> a man <5100> think <1380> himself to be something <5100>, when he is nothing <3367>, he deceiveth <5422> himself <1438>. 4 But let every <1538> man prove <1381> his own <1438> work <2041>, and then <5119> shall he have <2192> rejoicing <2745> in himself <1438> alone <3441>, and not in another <2087>. 5 For every <1538> man shall bear <0941> his own <2398> burden <5413>. 6 Let him that is taught <2727> in the word <3056> communicate <2841> unto him that teacheth <2727> in all <3956> good <0018> things. 7 Be not deceived <4105>; God <2316> is not mocked <3456>: for whatsoever <1437> a man <0444> soweth <4687>, that shall he also <2532> reap <2325>. 8 For he that soweth <4687> to his flesh <4561> shall of the flesh <4561> reap <2325> corruption <5356>; but he that soweth <4687> to the Spirit <4151> shall of the Spirit <4151> reap <2325> life <2222> everlasting <0166>. 9 And let us not be weary <1573> in well <2570> doing <4160>: for in due <2398> season <2540> we shall reap <2325>, if we faint <1590> not. 10 As we have <2192> therefore <3767> opportunity <2540>, let us do <2038> good <0018> unto all <3956> [men], especially <3122> unto them who are of the household <3609> of faith <4102>. 11. Ye see <1492> how <4080> large <4080> a letter <1121> I have written <1125> unto you with mine <1699> own hand <5495>. 12 As many <3745> as desire <2309> to make <2146> a fair <2146> shew <2146> in the flesh <4561>, they constrain <0315> you to be circumcised <4059>; only <3440> lest <3361> they should suffer <1377> persecution <1377> for the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>. 13 For neither <3761> they themselves <0846> who are circumcised <4059> keep <5442> the law <3551>; but desire <2309> to have you circumcised <4059>, that they may glory <2744> in your <5212> flesh <4561>. 14 But God <1096> forbid <1096> that I should glory <2744>, save <1508> in the cross <4716> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by whom <3739> the world <2889> is crucified <4717> unto me, and I unto the world <2889>. 15 For in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> availeth <2480> any <5100> thing, nor <3777> uncircumcision <0203>, but a new <2537> creature <2937>. 16 And as many <3745> as walk <4748> according to this <5129> rule <2583>, peace <1515> [be] on <1909> them, and mercy <1656>, and upon the Israel <2474> of God <2316>. 17 From henceforth <3064> let no <3367> man <3367> trouble <3930> me: for I bear <0941> in my body <4983> the marks <4742> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>. 18 Brethren <0080>, the grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with your <5216> spirit <4151>. Amen <0281>. Ephesians 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, to the saints <0040> which <3588> are at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, and to the faithful <4103> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 2 Grace <5485> [be] to you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 3. Blessed <2128> [be] the God <2316> and Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who <3588> hath blessed <2127> us with all <3956> spiritual <4152> blessings <2129> in heavenly <2032> [places] in Christ <5547>: 4 According <2531> as he hath chosen <1586> us in him before <4253> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>, that we should be holy <0040> and without <0299> blame <0299> before <2714> him in love <0026>: 5 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the adoption <5206> of children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> to himself <0848>, according <2596> to the good pleasure <2107> of his will <2307>, 6 To the praise <1868> of the glory <1391> of his grace <5485>, wherein <1722> <3739> he hath made <5487> us accepted <5487> in the beloved <0025>. 7 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <0629> through <1223> his blood <0129>, the forgiveness <0859> of sins <3900>, according <2596> to the riches <4149> of his grace <5485>; 8 Wherein <3739> he hath abounded <4052> toward <1519> us in all <3956> wisdom <4678> and prudence <5428>; 9 Having made <1107> known <1107> unto us the mystery <3466> of his will <2307>, according <2596> to his good pleasure <2107> which <3739> he hath purposed <4388> in himself <0848>: 10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the fulness <4138> of times <2540> he might gather <0346> together <0346> in one all <3956> things in Christ <5547>, both <5037> which <3588> are in heaven <3772>, and which <3588> are on <1909> earth <1093>; [even] in him: 11 In whom <3739> also <2532> we have obtained <2820> an inheritance <2820>, being predestinated <4309> according <2596> to the purpose <4286> of him who worketh <1754> all <3956> things after <2596> the counsel <1012> of his own <0848> will <2307>: 12 That we should be to the praise <1868> of his glory <1391>, who <3588> first <4276> trusted <4276> in Christ <5547>. 13 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> [trusted], after that ye heard <0191> the word <3056> of truth <0225>, the gospel <2098> of your <5216> salvation <4991>: in whom <3739> also <2532> after that ye believed <4100>, ye were sealed <4972> with that holy <0040> Spirit <4151> of promise <1860>, 14 Which <3739> is the earnest <0728> of our inheritance <2817> until <1519> the redemption <0629> of the purchased <4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise <1868> of his glory <1391>. 15. Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after I heard <0191> of your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and love <0026> unto all <3956> the saints <0040>, 16 Cease <3973> not to give thanks <2168> for you, making <4160> mention <3417> of you in my prayers <4335>; 17 That the God <2316> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, the Father <3962> of glory <1391>, may give <1325> unto you the spirit <4151> of wisdom <4678> and revelation <0602> in the knowledge <1922> of him: 18 The eyes <3788> of your <5216> understanding <1271> being enlightened <5461>; that ye may know <1492> what <5101> is the hope <1680> of his calling <2821>, and what <5101> the riches <4149> of the glory <1391> of his inheritance <2817> in the saints <0040>, 19 And what <5101> [is] the exceeding <5235> greatness <3174> of his power <1411> to us-ward <2248> who <3588> believe <4100>, according <2596> to the working <1753> of his mighty <2479> power <2904>, 20 Which <3739> he wrought <1754> in Christ <5547>, when he raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>, and set <2523> [him] at <1722> his own <0848> right <1188> hand in the heavenly <2032> [places], 21 Far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> principality <0746>, and power <1849>, and might <1411>, and dominion <2963>, and every <3956> name <3686> that is named <3687>, not only <3440> in this <3588> world <0165>, but also <2532> in that which is to come <3195>: 22 And hath put <5293> all <3956> [things] under <5259> his feet <4228>, and gave <1325> him [to be] the head <2776> over <5228> all <3956> [things] to the church <1577>, 23 Which <3748> is his body <4983>, the fulness <4138> of him that filleth <4137> all <3956> in all <3956>. Ephesians 2 1. And you [hath he quickened], who were dead <3498> in trespasses <3900> and sins <0266>; 2 Wherein <1722> <3739> in time <4218> past ye walked <4043> according <2596> to the course <0165> of this <5127> world <2889>, according <2596> to the prince <0758> of the power <1849> of the air <0109>, the spirit <4151> that now <3568> worketh <1754> in the children <5207> of disobedience <0543>: 3 Among <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> we all <3956> had our conversation <0390> in times <4218> past in the lusts <1939> of our flesh <4561>, fulfilling <4160> the desires <2307> of the flesh <4561> and of the mind <1271>; and were by nature <5449> the children <5043> of wrath <3709>, even <2532> as others <3062>. 4. But God <2316>, who is rich <4145> in mercy <1656>, for his great <4183> love <0026> wherewith <3739> he loved <0025> us, 5 Even <2532> when we were dead <3498> in sins <3900>, hath quickened <4806> us together <4806> with Christ <5547>, (by grace <5485> ye are saved <4982>;) 6 And hath raised <4891> [us] up together <4891>, and made <4776> [us] sit <4776> together <4776> in heavenly <2032> [places] in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 7 That in the ages <0165> to come <1904> he might shew <1731> the exceeding <5235> riches <4149> of his grace <5485> in [his] kindness <5544> toward <1909> us through <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 8 For by grace <5485> are ye saved <4982> through <1223> faith <4102>; and that not of yourselves <5216>: [it is] the gift <1435> of God <2316>: 9 Not of works <2041>, lest <3361> any <5100> man should boast <2744>. 10 For we are his workmanship <4161>, created <2936> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> unto good <0018> works <2041>, which <3739> God <2316> hath before <4282> ordained <4282> that we should walk <4043> in them. 11. Wherefore <1352> remember <3421>, that ye [being] in time <4218> past Gentiles <1484> in the flesh <4561>, who <3588> are called <3004> Uncircumcision <0203> by that which <3588> is called <3004> the Circumcision <4061> in the flesh <4561> made <5499> by hands <5499>; 12 That at <1722> that time <2540> ye were without <5565> Christ <5547>, being aliens <0526> from the commonwealth <4174> of Israel <2474>, and strangers <3581> from the covenants <1242> of promise <1860>, having <2192> no <3361> hope <1680>, and without <0112> God <0112> in the world <2889>: 13 But now <3570> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> ye who <3739> sometimes <4218> were far <3112> off <3112> are made <1096> nigh <1451> by the blood <0129> of Christ <5547>. 14. For he is our peace <1515>, who <3739> hath made <4160> both <0297> one <1520>, and hath broken <3089> down the middle <3320> wall of partition <5418> [between us]; 15 Having abolished <2673> in his flesh <4561> the enmity <2189>, [even] the law <3551> of commandments <1785> [contained] in ordinances <1378>; for to make <2936> in himself <1438> of twain <1417> one <1520> new <2537> man <0444>, [so] making <4160> peace <1515>; 16 And that he might reconcile <0604> both <0297> unto God <2316> in one <1520> body <4983> by the cross <4716>, having slain <0615> the enmity <2189> thereby <0846>: 17 And came <2064> and preached <2097> peace <1515> to you which <3588> were afar <3112> off, and to them that were nigh <1451>. 18 For through <1223> him we both <0297> have <2192> access <4318> by one <1520> Spirit <4151> unto the Father <3962>. 19 Now <3767> therefore <0686> ye are no <3765> more <3765> strangers <3581> and foreigners <3941>, but fellowcitizens <4847> with the saints <0040>, and of the household <3609> of God <2316>; 20 And are built <2026> upon the foundation <2310> of the apostles <0652> and prophets <4396>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> himself <0848> being <5607> the chief <0204> corner <0204> [stone]; 21 In whom <3739> all <3956> the building <3619> fitly <4883> framed <4883> together <4883> groweth <0837> unto an holy <0040> temple <3485> in the Lord <2962>: 22 In whom <3739> ye also <2532> are builded <4925> together <4925> for an habitation <2732> of God <2316> through <1722> the Spirit <4151>. Ephesians 3 1. For this <5127> cause <5484> I Paul <3972>, the prisoner <1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you Gentiles <1484>, 2 If <1489> ye have heard <0191> of the dispensation <3622> of the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> me to you-ward <5209>: 3 How that by revelation <0602> he made <1107> known <1107> unto me the mystery <3466>; (as I wrote <4270> afore <4270> in few <3641> words, 4 Whereby <3739>, when ye read <0314>, ye may <1410> understand <3539> my knowledge <4907> in the mystery <3466> of Christ <5547>) 5 Which <3739> in other <2087> ages <1074> was not made <1107> known <1107> unto the sons <5207> of men <0444>, as it is now <3568> revealed <0601> unto his holy <0040> apostles <0652> and prophets <4396> by the Spirit <4151>; 6 That the Gentiles <1484> should be fellowheirs <4789>, and of the same <4954> body <4954>, and partakers <4830> of his promise <1860> in Christ <5547> by the gospel <2098>: 7 Whereof <3739> I was made <1096> a minister <1249>, according <2596> to the gift <1431> of the grace <5485> of God <2316> given <1325> unto me by the effectual <1753> working <1753> of his power <1411>. 8 Unto me, who am less <1647> than the least <1647> of all <3956> saints <0040>, is this <3778> grace <5485> given <1325>, that I should preach <2097> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> the unsearchable <0421> riches <4149> of Christ <5547>; 9 And to make <5461> all <3956> [men] see <5461> what <5101> [is] the fellowship <2842> of the mystery <3466>, which <3588> from the beginning of the world <0165> hath been hid <0613> in God <2316>, who <3588> created <2936> all <3956> things by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 10 To the intent <2443> that now <3568> unto the principalities <0746> and powers <1849> in heavenly <2032> [places] might be known <1107> by the church <1577> the manifold <4182> wisdom <4678> of God <2316>, 11 According <2596> to the eternal <0165> purpose <4286> which <3739> he purposed <4160> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>: 12 In whom <3739> we have <2192> boldness <3954> and access <4318> with confidence <4006> by the faith <4102> of him. 13 Wherefore <1352> I desire <0154> that ye faint <1573> not at <1722> my tribulations <2347> for you, which <3748> is your glory <1391>. 14. For this <5127> cause <5484> I bow <2578> my knees <1119> unto the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, 15 Of whom <3739> the whole <3956> family <3965> in heaven <3772> and earth <1093> is named <3687>, 16 That he would grant <1325> you, according <2596> to the riches <4149> of his glory <1391>, to be strengthened <2901> with might <1411> by his Spirit <4151> in the inner <2080> man <0444>; 17 That Christ <5547> may dwell <2730> in your <5216> hearts <2588> by faith <4102>; that ye, being rooted <4492> and grounded <2311> in love <0026>, 18 May be able <1840> to comprehend <2638> with all <3956> saints <0040> what <5101> [is] the breadth <4114>, and length <3372>, and depth <0899>, and height <5311>; 19 And to know <1097> the love <0026> of Christ <5547>, which passeth <5235> knowledge <1108>, that ye might be filled <4137> with all <3956> the fulness <4138> of God <2316>. 20 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to do <4160> exceeding <5228> abundantly <4053> above <5228> all <3956> that we ask <0154> or <2228> think <3539>, according <2596> to the power <1411> that worketh <1754> in us, 21 Unto him [be] glory <1391> in the church <1577> by Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> throughout <1519> all <3956> ages <1074>, world <0165> without end <0165>. Amen <0281>. Ephesians 4 1. I therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of the Lord <2962>, beseech <3870> you that ye walk <4043> worthy <0516> of the vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called <2564>, 2. With all <3956> lowliness <5012> and meekness <4236>, with longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <0430> one <0240> another <0240> in love <0026>; 3 Endeavouring <4704> to keep <5083> the unity <1775> of the Spirit <4151> in the bond <4886> of peace <1515>. 4 [There is] one <1520> body <4983>, and one <1520> Spirit <4151>, even <2532> as ye are called <2564> in one <3391> hope <1680> of your <5216> calling <2821>; 5 One <1520> Lord <2962>, one <1520> faith <4102>, one <3391> baptism <0908>, 6 One <1520> God <2316> and Father <3962> of all <3956>, who <3588> [is] above <1909> all <3956>, and through <1223> all <3956>, and in you all <3956>. 7 But unto every <1538> one <1520> of us is given <1325> grace <5485> according <2596> to the measure <3358> of the gift <1431> of Christ <5547>. 8 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, When he ascended <0305> up on <5311> high <5311>, he led <0162> captivity <0161> captive <0162>, and gave <1325> gifts <1390> unto men <0444>. 9 (Now that he ascended <0305>, what <5101> is it but that he also <2532> descended <2597> first <4412> into <1519> the lower <2737> parts <3313> of the earth <1093>? 10 He that descended <2597> is the same also <2532> that ascended <0305> up far <5231> above <5231> all <3956> heavens <3772>, that he might fill <4137> all <3956> things.) 11 And he gave <1325> some <3588>, apostles <0652>; and some <3588>, prophets <4396>; and some <3588>, evangelists <2099>; and some <3588>, pastors <4166> and teachers <1320>; 12 For the perfecting <2677> of the saints <0040>, for the work <2041> of the ministry <1248>, for the edifying <3619> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>: 13 Till <3360> we all <3956> come <2658> in the unity <1775> of the faith <4102>, and of the knowledge <1922> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, unto a perfect <5046> man <0435>, unto the measure <3358> of the stature <2244> of the fulness <4138> of Christ <5547>: 14 That we [henceforth] be no <3371> more <3371> children <3516>, tossed <2831> to and fro <2831>, and carried <4064> about <4064> with every <3596> wind <0417> of doctrine <1319>, by the sleight <2940> of men <0444>, [and] cunning craftiness <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie <3180> in wait <3180> to deceive <4106>; 15 But speaking <0226> the truth <0226> in love <0026>, may grow <0837> up into <1519> him in all <3956> things, which <3739> is the head <2776>, [even] Christ <5547>: 16 From whom <3739> the whole <3956> body <4983> fitly <4883> joined <4883> together <4883> and compacted <4822> by that which every <3956> joint <0860> supplieth <2024>, according <2596> to the effectual <1753> working <1753> in the measure <3358> of every <1538> part <3313>, maketh <4160> increase <0838> of the body <4983> unto the edifying <3619> of itself <1438> in love <0026>. 17. This <5124> I say <3004> therefore <3767>, and testify <3143> in the Lord <2962>, that ye henceforth <3371> walk <4043> not <3371> as other <3062> Gentiles <1484> walk <4043>, in the vanity <3153> of their mind <3563>, 18 Having the understanding <1271> darkened <4654>, being <5607> alienated <0526> from the life <2222> of God <2316> through <1223> the ignorance <0052> that is in them, because <1223> of the blindness <4457> of their heart <2588>: 19 Who <3748> being past <0524> feeling <0524> have given <3860> themselves <1438> over <3860> unto lasciviousness <0766>, to work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <0167> with greediness <4124>. 20 But ye have not so <3779> learned <3129> Christ <5547>; 21 If <1489> so <3779> be that ye have heard <0191> him, and have been taught <1321> by him, as the truth <0225> is in Jesus <2424>: 22 That ye put <0659> off <0659> concerning <2596> the former <4387> conversation <0391> the old <3820> man <0444>, which <3588> is corrupt <5351> according <2596> to the deceitful <0539> lusts <1939>; 23 And be renewed <0365> in the spirit <4151> of your <5216> mind <3563>; 24 And that ye put <1746> on <1746> the new <2537> man <0444>, which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created <2936> in righteousness <1343> and true <0225> holiness <3742>. 25 Wherefore <1352> putting <0659> away <0659> lying <5579>, speak <2980> every <1538> man truth <0225> with his neighbour <4139>: for we are members <3196> one <0240> of another <0240>. 26 Be ye angry <3710>, and sin <0264> not: let not the sun <2246> go <1931> down <1931> upon your <5216> wrath <3950>: 27 Neither <3383> give <1325> place <5117> to the devil <1228>. 28 Let him that stole <2813> steal <2813> no <3371> more <3371>: but rather <3123> let him labour <2872>, working <2038> with [his] hands <5495> the thing which is good <0018>, that he may have <2192> to give <3330> to him that needeth <5532>. 29 Let no <3361> corrupt <4550> communication <3056> proceed <1607> out of your <5216> mouth <4750>, but that which <1536> is good <0018> to the use <5532> of edifying <3619>, that it may minister <1325> grace <5485> unto the hearers <0191>. 30 And grieve <3076> not the holy <0040> Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, whereby <3739> ye are sealed <4972> unto the day <2250> of redemption <0629>. 31 Let all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and wrath <2372>, and anger <3709>, and clamour <2906>, and evil <0988> speaking <0988>, be put <0142> away from you, with all <3956> malice <2549>: 32 And be ye kind <5543> one <0240> to another <0240>, tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> one <1438> another <1438>, even <2532> as God <2316> for Christ's <5547> sake <1722> hath forgiven <5483> you. Ephesians 5 1. Be ye therefore <3767> followers <3402> of God <2316>, as dear <0027> children <5043>; 2 And walk <4043> in love <0026>, as Christ <5547> also <2532> hath loved <0025> us, and hath given <3860> himself <1438> for us an offering <4376> and a sacrifice <2378> to God <2316> for a sweetsmelling <2175> savour <3744>. 3. But fornication <4202>, and all <3956> uncleanness <0167>, or <2228> covetousness <4124>, let it not be once <3366> named <3687> among <1722> you, as becometh <4241> saints <0040>; 4 Neither <3756> filthiness <0151>, nor <2532> foolish <3473> talking <3473>, nor <2228> jesting <2160>, which <3588> are not convenient <0433>: but rather <3123> giving of thanks <2169>. 5 For this <5124> ye know <1097>, that no <3756> whoremonger <4205>, nor <2228> unclean <0169> person, nor <2228> covetous <4123> man, who <3739> is an idolater <1496>, hath <2192> any inheritance <2817> in the kingdom <0932> of Christ <5547> and of God <2316>. 6 Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <0538> you with vain <2756> words <3056>: for because <1223> of these <5023> things cometh <2064> the wrath <3709> of God <2316> upon the children <5207> of disobedience <0543>. 7 Be not ye therefore <3767> partakers <4830> with them. 8 For ye were sometimes <4218> darkness <4655>, but now <3568> [are ye] light <5457> in the Lord <2962>: walk <4043> as children <5043> of light <5457>: 9 (For the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> [is] in all <3956> goodness <0019> and righteousness <1343> and truth <0225>;) 10 Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101> unto the Lord <2962>. 11 And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the unfruitful <0175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but rather <3123> reprove <1651> [them]. 12 For it is a shame <0149> even <2532> to speak <3004> of those <3588> things which are done <1096> of them in secret <2931>. 13 But all <3956> things that are reproved <1651> are made <5319> manifest <5319> by the light <5457>: for whatsoever <3956> doth make <5319> manifest <5319> is light <5457>. 14 Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, Awake <1453> thou that sleepest <2518>, and arise <0450> from the dead <3498>, and Christ <5547> shall give thee light <2017>. 15 See <0991> then <3767> that ye walk <4043> circumspectly <0199>, not as fools <0781>, but as wise <4680>, 16 Redeeming <1805> the time <2540>, because <3754> the days <2250> are evil <4190>. 17 Wherefore <5124> be ye not unwise <0878>, but understanding <4920> what <5101> the will <2307> of the Lord <2962> [is]. 18 And be not drunk <3182> with wine <3631>, wherein <1722> <3739> is excess <0810>; but be filled <4137> with the Spirit <4151>; 19 Speaking <2980> to yourselves <1438> in psalms <5568> and hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs <5603>, singing <0103> and making <5567> melody <5567> in your <5216> heart <2588> to the Lord <2962>; 20 Giving thanks <2168> always <3842> for all <3956> things unto God <2316> and the Father <3962> in the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; 21. Submitting <5293> yourselves one <0240> to another <0240> in the fear <5401> of God <2316>. 22 Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your <3588> own <2398> husbands <0435>, as unto the Lord <2962>. 23 For the husband <0435> is the head <2776> of the wife <1135>, even <2532> as Christ <5547> is the head <2776> of the church <1577>: and he is the saviour <4990> of the body <4983>. 24 Therefore <0235> as the church <1577> is subject <5293> unto Christ <5547>, so <3779> [let] the wives <1135> [be] to their own <2398> husbands <0435> in every <3956> thing. 25 Husbands <0435>, love <0025> your <1438> wives <1135>, even <2531> as Christ <5547> also <2532> loved <0025> the church <1577>, and gave <3860> himself <1438> for it; 26 That he might sanctify <0037> and cleanse <2511> it with the washing <3067> of water <5204> by the word <4487>, 27 That he might present <3936> it to himself <1438> a glorious <1741> church <1577>, not having <2192> spot <4696>, or <2228> wrinkle <4512>, or <2228> any <5100> such <5108> thing; but that it should be holy <0040> and without <0299> blemish <0299>. 28 So <3779> ought <3784> men <0435> to love <0025> their wives <1135> as their own <1438> bodies <4983>. He that loveth <0025> his wife <1135> loveth <0025> himself <1438>. 29 For no <3762> man <3762> ever <4218> yet hated <3404> his own <1438> flesh <4561>; but nourisheth <1625> and cherisheth <2282> it, even <2532> as the Lord <2962> the church <1577>: 30 For we are members <3196> of his body <4983>, of his flesh <4561>, and of his bones <3747>. 31 For <0473> this <5127> cause shall a man <0444> leave <2641> his father <3962> and mother <3384>, and shall be joined <4347> unto his wife <1135>, and they two <1417> shall be one <3391> flesh <4561>. 32 This <5124> is a great <3173> mystery <3466>: but I speak <3004> concerning <1519> Christ <5547> and the church <1577>. 33 Nevertheless <4133> let every <1520> one of you in particular <1520> so <3779> love <0025> his wife <1135> even <5613> as himself <1438>; and the wife <1135> [see] that she reverence <5399> [her] husband <0435>. Ephesians 6 1. Children <5043>, obey <5219> your <5216> parents <1118> in the Lord <2962>: for this <5124> is right <1342>. 2 Honour <5091> thy father <3962> and mother <3384>; (which <3748> is the first <4413> commandment <1785> with promise <1860>;) 3 That it may be well <2095> with thee, and thou mayest live long <3118> on <1909> the earth <1093>. 4 And, ye fathers <3962>, provoke <3949> not your <5216> children <5043> to wrath <3949>: but bring <1625> them up in the nurture <3809> and admonition <3559> of the Lord <2962>. 5 Servants <1401>, be obedient <5219> to them that are [your] masters <2962> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>, with fear <5401> and trembling <5156>, in singleness <0572> of your <5216> heart <2588>, as unto Christ <5547>; 6 Not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <0441>; but as the servants <1401> of Christ <5547>, doing <4160> the will <2307> of God <2316> from the heart <5590>; 7 With good <2133> will <2133> doing <1398> service <1398>, as to the Lord <2962>, and not to men <0444>: 8 Knowing <1492> that whatsoever <5100> good <0018> thing any <1538> man doeth <4160>, the same <3778> shall he receive <2865> of the Lord <2962>, whether <1535> [he be] bond <1401> or <1535> free <1658>. 9 And, ye masters <2962>, do <4160> the same <0846> things unto them, forbearing <0447> threatening <0547>: knowing <1492> that your <5216> Master <2962> also <2532> is in heaven <3772>; neither <3756> is there respect <4382> of persons <4382> with him. 10. Finally <3063>, my brethren <0080>, be strong <1743> in the Lord <2962>, and in the power <2904> of his might <2479>. 11 Put <1746> on <1746> the whole armour <3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to stand <2476> against <4314> the wiles <3180> of the devil <1228>. 12 For we wrestle <3823> not against <4314> flesh <4561> and blood <0129>, but against <4314> principalities <0746>, against <4314> powers <1849>, against <4314> the rulers <2888> of the darkness <4655> of this <5127> world <0165>, against <4314> spiritual <4152> wickedness <4189> in high <2032> [places]. 13 Wherefore <5124> take <0353> unto you the whole armour <3833> of God <2316>, that ye may be able <1410> to withstand <0436> in the evil <4190> day <2250>, and having done <2716> all <0537>, to stand <2476>. 14 Stand <2476> therefore <3767>, having your <5216> loins <3751> girt <4024> about <4024> with truth <0225>, and having <1746> on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of righteousness <1343>; 15 And your <3588> feet <4228> shod <5265> with the preparation <2091> of the gospel <2098> of peace <1515>; 16 Above <1909> all <3956>, taking <0353> the shield <2375> of faith <4102>, wherewith <3739> ye shall be able <1410> to quench <4570> all <3956> the fiery <4448> darts <0956> of the wicked <4190>. 17 And take <1209> the helmet <4030> of salvation <4992>, and the sword <3162> of the Spirit <4151>, which <3603> is <3603> the word <4487> of God <2316>: 18 Praying <4336> always <2540> with all <3956> prayer <4335> and supplication <1162> in the Spirit <4151>, and watching <0069> thereunto <5124> with all <3956> perseverance <4343> and supplication <1162> for all <3956> saints <0040>; 19. And for me, that utterance <3056> may be given <1325> unto me, that I may open <0457> my mouth <4750> boldly <3954>, to make <1107> known <1107> the mystery <3466> of the gospel <2098>, 20 For which <3739> I am an ambassador <4243> in bonds <0254>: that therein <0846> I may speak boldly <3955>, as I ought <1163> to speak <2980>. 21 But that ye also <2532> may know <1492> my affairs <2596>, [and] how <5101> I do <4238>, Tychicus <5190>, a beloved <0027> brother <0080> and faithful <4103> minister <1249> in the Lord <2962>, shall make <1107> known <1107> to you all <3956> things: 22 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the same <0846> purpose, that ye might know <1097> our affairs <4012>, and [that] he might comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>. 23 Peace <1515> [be] to the brethren <0080>, and love <0026> with faith <4102>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 24 Grace <5485> [be] with all <3956> them that love <0025> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> in sincerity <0861>. Amen <0281>. Philippians 1 1. Paul <3972> and Timotheus <5095>, the servants <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to all <3956> the saints <0040> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> which <3588> are at <1722> Philippi <5375>, with the bishops <1985> and deacons <1249>: 2 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 3. I thank <2168> my God <2316> upon every <3956> remembrance <3417> of you, 4 Always <3842> in every <3956> prayer <1162> of mine <3450> for you all <3956> making <4160> request <1162> with joy <5479>, 5 For your <5216> fellowship <2842> in the gospel <2098> from the first <4413> day <2250> until <0891> now <3568>; 6 Being confident <3982> of this <5124> very <0846> thing, that he which hath begun <1728> a good <0018> work <2041> in you will perform <2005> [it] until <0891> the day <2250> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 7. Even <2531> as it is meet <1342> for me to think <5426> this <5124> of you all <3956>, because <1223> I have <2192> you in my heart <2588>; inasmuch <3745> as both <5037> in my bonds <1199>, and in the defence <0627> and confirmation <0951> of the gospel <2098>, ye all <3956> are partakers <4791> of my grace <5485>. 8 For God <2316> is my record <3144>, how <5613> greatly <1971> I long <1971> after <1971> you all <3956> in the bowels <4698> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 9. And this <5124> I pray <4336>, that your <5216> love <0026> may abound <4052> yet <2089> more <3123> and more <3123> in knowledge <1922> and [in] all <3956> judgment <0144>; 10 That ye may approve <1381> things that are excellent <1308>; that ye may be sincere <1506> and without <0677> offence <0677> till <1519> the day <2250> of Christ <5547>; 11 Being filled <4137> with the fruits <2590> of righteousness <1343>, which <3588> are by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, unto the glory <1391> and praise <1868> of God <2316>. 12. But I would ye should understand <1097>, brethren <0080>, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen <2064> out rather <3123> unto the furtherance <4297> of the gospel <2098>; 13 So <5620> that my bonds <1199> in Christ <5547> are manifest <5318> in all <3650> the palace <4232>, and in all <3956> other <3062> [places]; 14 And many <4119> of the brethren <0080> in the Lord <2962>, waxing <3982> confident <3982> by my bonds <1199>, are much <4056> more <4056> bold <5111> to speak <2980> the word <3056> without <0870> fear <0870>. 15 Some <5100> indeed <3303> preach <2784> Christ <5547> even <2532> of envy <5355> and strife <2054>; and some <5100> also <2532> of good <2107> will <2107>: 16 The one <3303> preach <2605> Christ <5547> of contention <2052>, not sincerely <0055>, supposing <3633> to add <2018> affliction <2347> to my bonds <1199>: 17 But the other of love <0026>, knowing <1492> that I am set <2749> for the defence <0627> of the gospel <2098>. 18 What <5101> then <1063>? notwithstanding <4133>, every <3956> way <5158>, whether <1535> in pretence <4392>, or <1535> in truth <0225>, Christ <5547> is preached <2605>; and I therein <5129> do rejoice <5463>, yea <0235>, and will rejoice <5463>. 19 For I know <1492> that this <5124> shall turn <0576> to my salvation <4991> through <1223> your <5216> prayer <1162>, and the supply <2024> of the Spirit <4151> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, 20 According <2596> to my earnest <0603> expectation <0603> and [my] hope <1680>, that in nothing <3762> I shall be ashamed <0153>, but [that] with all <3956> boldness <3954>, as always <3842>, [so] now <3568> also <2532> Christ <5547> shall be magnified <3170> in my body <4983>, whether <1535> [it be] by life <2222>, or <1535> by death <2288>. 21. For to me to live <2198> [is] Christ <5547>, and to die <0599> [is] gain <2771>. 22 But if <1487> I live <2198> in the flesh <4561>, this <5124> [is] the fruit <2590> of my labour <2041>: yet <2532> what <5101> I shall choose <0138> I wot <1107> not. 23 For I am in a strait <4912> betwixt <1537> two <1417>, having <2192> a desire <1939> to depart <0360>, and to be with Christ <5547>; which is far <3123> better <2909>: 24 Nevertheless <1161> to abide <1961> in the flesh <4561> [is] more <0316> needful <0316> for you. 25 And having this <5124> confidence <3982>, I know <1492> that I shall abide <3306> and continue <4839> with you all <3956> for your <5216> furtherance <4297> and joy <5479> of faith <4102>; 26 That your <5216> rejoicing <2745> may be more abundant <4052> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for me by my coming <3952> to you again <3825>. 27. Only <3440> let your conversation <4176> be as it becometh <0516> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>: that whether <1535> I come <2064> and see <1492> you, or <1535> else be absent <0548>, I may hear <0191> of your <5216> affairs <4012>, that ye stand <4739> fast in one <1520> spirit <4151>, with one <3391> mind <5590> striving <4866> together <4866> for the faith <4102> of the gospel <2098>; 28 And in nothing <3367> terrified <4426> by your <3588> adversaries <0480>: which <3748> is to them an evident <1732> token <1732> of perdition <0684>, but to you of salvation <4991>, and that of God <2316>. 29 For unto you it is given <5483> in the behalf <5228> of Christ <5547>, not only <3440> to believe <4100> on <1519> him, but also <2532> to suffer <3958> for his sake; 30 Having <2192> the same <0846> conflict <0073> which <3634> ye saw <1492> in me, and now <3568> hear <0191> [to be] in me. Philippians 2 1. If <1487> [there be] therefore <3767> any <1536> consolation <3874> in Christ <5547>, if <1487> any <1536> comfort <3890> of love <0026>, if <1487> any <1536> fellowship <2842> of the Spirit <4151>, if <1487> any <1536> bowels <4698> and mercies <3628>, 2 Fulfil <4137> ye my joy <5479>, that ye be likeminded <5426>, having <2192> the same love <0026>, [being] of one <4861> accord <4861>, of one <1520> mind <5426>. 3 [Let] nothing <3367> [be done] through <2596> strife <2052> or <2228> vainglory <2754>; but in lowliness <5012> of mind <5012> let each <0240> esteem <2233> other <0240> better <5242> than themselves <1438>. 4 Look <4648> not every <1538> man on his own <1438> things, but every <1538> man also <2532> on the things of others <2087>. 5 Let this <5124> mind <5426> be in you, which <3739> was also <2532> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 6 Who, being <5225> in the form <3444> of God <2316>, thought <2233> it not robbery <0725> to be equal <2470> with God <2316>: 7 But made <1096> himself <1438> of no <2758> reputation <2758>, and took <2983> upon him the form <3444> of a servant <1401>, and was made <1096> in the likeness <3667> of men <0444>: 8 And being found <2147> in fashion <4976> as a man <0444>, he humbled <5013> himself <1438>, and became <1096> obedient <5255> unto <3360> death <2288>, even <1161> the death <2288> of the cross <4716>. 9 Wherefore <1352> God <2316> also <2532> hath highly <5251> exalted <5251> him, and given <5483> him a name <3686> which <3588> is above <5228> every <3956> name <3686>: 10 That at <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> every <3956> knee <1119> should bow <2578>, of [things] in heaven <2032>, and [things] in earth <1919>, and [things] under <2709> the earth <2709>; 11 And [that] every <3956> tongue <1100> should confess <1843> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [is] Lord <2962>, to the glory <1391> of God <2316> the Father <3962>. 12. Wherefore <5620>, my beloved <0027>, as ye have always <3842> obeyed <5219>, not as in my presence <3952> only <3440>, but now <3568> much <4183> more <3123> in my absence <0666>, work <2716> out your <1438> own <1438> salvation <4991> with fear <5401> and trembling <5156>. 13 For it is God <2316> which <3588> worketh <1754> in you both <2532> to will <2309> and to do <1754> of [his] good pleasure <2107>. 14. Do <4160> all <3956> things without <5565> murmurings <1112> and disputings <1261>: 15 That ye may be blameless <0273> and harmless <0185>, the sons <5043> of God <2316>, without <0298> rebuke <0298>, in the midst <3319> of a crooked <4646> and perverse <1294> nation <1074>, among <1722> whom <3739> ye shine <5316> as lights <5458> in the world <2889>; 16 Holding <1907> forth <1907> the word <3056> of life <2222>; that I may rejoice <2745> in the day <2250> of Christ <5547>, that I have not run <5143> in vain <2756>, neither <3761> laboured <2872> in vain <2756>. 17 Yea <0235>, and if <1487> I be offered <4689> upon the sacrifice <2378> and service <3009> of your <5216> faith <4102>, I joy <5463>, and rejoice <4796> with you all <3956>. 18 For the same <0846> cause <0846> also <2532> do ye joy <5463>, and rejoice <4796> with me. 19 But I trust <1679> in the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> to send <3992> Timotheus <5095> shortly <5030> unto you, that I also <2504> may be of good comfort <2174>, when I know <1097> your <5216> state <4012>. 20 For I have <2192> no <3762> man <3762> likeminded <2473>, who <3748> will naturally <1104> care <3309> for your <5216> state <4012>. 21 For all <3956> seek <2212> their own, not the things which are Jesus <2424> Christ's <5547>. 22 But ye know <1097> the proof <1382> of him, that, as a son <5043> with the father <3962>, he hath served <1398> with me in the gospel <2098>. 23 Him therefore <3767> I hope <1679> to send <3992> presently <1824>, so <5613> soon as I shall see <0872> how <4012> it will go with me. 24 But I trust <3982> in the Lord <2962> that I also <2532> myself shall come <2064> shortly <5030>. 25 Yet <1161> I supposed <2233> it necessary <0316> to send <3992> to you Epaphroditus <1891>, my brother <0080>, and companion <4904> in labour <4904>, and fellowsoldier <4961>, but your <5216> messenger <0652>, and he that ministered <3011> to my wants <5532>. 26 For he longed <1971> after <1971> you all <3956>, and was full of heaviness <0085>, because <1360> that ye had heard <0191> that he had been sick <0770>. 27 For indeed <2532> he was sick <0770> nigh <3897> unto death <2288>: but God <2316> had mercy <1653> on him; and not on him only <3440>, but on me also <2532>, lest <3361> I should have <2192> sorrow <3077> upon sorrow <3077>. 28 I sent <3992> him therefore <3767> the more <4708> carefully <4708>, that, when ye see <1492> him again <3825>, ye may rejoice <5463>, and that I may be the less <0253> sorrowful <0253>. 29 Receive <4327> him therefore <3767> in the Lord <2962> with all <3956> gladness <5479>; and hold <2192> such <5108> in reputation <1784>: 30 Because <3754> for the work <2041> of Christ <5547> he was nigh <1448> unto <3360> death <2288>, not regarding <3851> his life <5590>, to supply <0378> your <5216> lack <5303> of service <3009> toward <4314> me. Philippians 3 1. Finally <3063>, my brethren <0080>, rejoice <5463> in the Lord <2962>. To write <1125> the same <0846> things to you, to me indeed <3303> [is] not grievous <3636>, but for you [it is] safe <0804>. 2 Beware <0991> of dogs <2965>, beware <0991> of evil <2556> workers <2040>, beware <0991> of the concision <2699>. 3 For we are the circumcision <4061>, which <3588> worship <3000> God <2316> in the spirit <4151>, and rejoice <2744> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and have no <3756> confidence <3982> in the flesh <4561>. 4. Though <2539> I might also <2532> have <2192> confidence <4006> in the flesh <4561>. If <1487> any <1536> other <0243> man thinketh <1380> that he hath whereof he might trust <3982> in the flesh <4561>, I more <3123>: 5 Circumcised <4061> the eighth <3637> day <2250>, of the stock <1085> of Israel <2474>, [of] the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <0958>, an Hebrew <1445> of the Hebrews <1445>; as touching <2596> the law <3551>, a Pharisee <5330>; 6 Concerning <2596> zeal <2205>, persecuting <1377> the church <1577>; touching <2596> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is in the law <3551>, blameless <0273>. 7 But what <3748> things were gain <2771> to me, those <5023> I counted <2233> loss <2209> for Christ <5547>. 8 Yea <0235> doubtless <3304>, and I count <2233> all <3956> things [but] loss <2209> for the excellency <5242> of the knowledge <1108> of Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> my Lord <2962>: for whom <3739> I have suffered <2210> the loss <2210> of all <3956> things, and do count <2233> them [but] dung <4657>, that I may win <2770> Christ <5547>, 9. And be found <2147> in him, not having <2192> mine <1699> own <1699> righteousness <1343>, which <3588> is of the law <3551>, but that which <3588> is through <1223> the faith <4102> of Christ <5547>, the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of God <2316> by faith <4102>: 10 That I may know <1097> him, and the power <1411> of his resurrection <0386>, and the fellowship <2842> of his sufferings <3804>, being made <4833> conformable <4833> unto his death <2288>; 11 If <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> I might attain <2658> unto the resurrection <1815> of the dead <3498>. 12 Not as though <3754> I had already <2235> attained <2983>, either <2228> were already <2235> perfect <5048>: but I follow <1377> after, if <1499> that I may apprehend <2638> that for which <3739> also <2532> I am apprehended <2638> of Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 13 Brethren <0080>, I count <3049> not myself to have apprehended <2638>: but [this] one <1520> thing <1520> [I do], forgetting <1950> those <3588> things which are behind <3694>, and reaching <1901> forth <1901> unto those <3588> things which are before <1715>, 14 I press <1377> toward <2596> the mark <4649> for the prize <1017> of the high <0507> calling <2821> of God <2316> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 15. Let us therefore <3767>, as many <3745> as be perfect <5046>, be thus <5124> minded <5426>: and if <1487> in any <1536> thing ye be otherwise <2088> minded <5426>, God <2316> shall reveal <0601> even <2532> this <5124> unto you. 16 Nevertheless <4133>, whereto <3739> we have already <5348> attained <5348>, let us walk <4748> by the same <0846> rule <2583>, let us mind <5426> the same <0846> thing. 17. Brethren <0080>, be followers <4831> together <4831> of me, and mark <4648> them which walk <4043> so <3779> as ye have <2192> us for an ensample <5179>. 18 (For many <4183> walk <4043>, of whom <3739> I have told <3004> you often <4178>, and now <3568> tell <3004> you even <2532> weeping <2799>, [that they are] the enemies <2190> of the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>: 19 Whose <3739> end <5056> [is] destruction <0684>, whose <3739> God <2316> [is their] belly <2836>, and [whose] glory <1391> [is] in their shame <0152>, who <3588> mind <5426> earthly <1919> things.) 20 For our conversation <4175> is in heaven <3772>; from whence <3739> also <2532> we look <0553> for the Saviour <4990>, the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 21 Who shall change <3345> our vile <5014> body <4983>, that it may be fashioned <4832> like <4832> unto his glorious <1391> body <4983>, according <2596> to the working <1753> whereby <3588> he is able <1410> even <2532> to subdue <5293> all <3956> things unto himself <1438>. Philippians 4 1. Therefore <5620>, my brethren <0080> dearly beloved <0027> and longed <1973> for, my joy <5479> and crown <4735>, so <3779> stand <4739> fast in the Lord <2962>, [my] dearly beloved <0027>. 2 I beseech <3870> Euodias <2136>, and beseech <3870> Syntyche <4941>, that they be of the same <0846> mind <5426> in the Lord <2962>. 3 And I intreat <2065> thee also <2532>, true <1103> yokefellow <4805>, help <4815> those <0846> women which <3748> laboured <4866> with me in the gospel <2098>, with Clement <2815> also <2532>, and [with] other <3062> my fellowlabourers <4904>, whose <3739> names <3686> [are] in the book <0976> of life <2222>. 4 Rejoice <5463> in the Lord <2962> alway <3842>: [and] again <3825> I say <2046>, Rejoice <5463>. 5 Let your <5216> moderation <1933> be known <1097> unto all <3956> men <0444>. The Lord <2962> [is] at <1451> hand <1451>. 6 Be careful <3309> for nothing <3367>; but in every <3956> thing by prayer <4335> and supplication <1162> with thanksgiving <2169> let your <5216> requests <0155> be made <1107> known <1107> unto God <2316>. 7 And the peace <1515> of God <2316>, which <3588> passeth <5242> all <3956> understanding <3563>, shall keep <5432> your <5216> hearts <2588> and minds <3540> through <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 8 Finally <3063>, brethren <0080>, whatsoever <3745> things are true <0227>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] honest <4586>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] just <1342>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] pure <0053>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] lovely <4375>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] of good <2163> report <2163>; if <1487> [there be] any <1536> virtue <0703>, and if <1487> [there be] any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049> on these <5023> things. 9 Those <5023> things, which <3739> ye have both <2532> learned <3129>, and received <3880>, and heard <0191>, and seen <1492> in me, do <4238>: and the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall be with you. 10. But I rejoiced <5463> in the Lord <2962> greatly <3171>, that now <2235> at <4218> the last <4218> your <3588> care <5426> of me hath flourished <0330> again <0330>; wherein <1909> <3739> ye were also <2532> careful <5426>, but ye lacked <0170> opportunity <0170>. 11 Not that I speak <3004> in respect <2596> of want <5304>: for I have learned <3129>, in whatsoever <3739> state I am <1510>, [therewith] to be content <0842>. 12 I know <1492> both <2532> how to be abased <5013>, and I know <1492> how to abound <4052>: every <3956> where <3956> and in all <3956> things I am instructed <3453> both <2532> to be full <5526> and to be hungry <3983>, both <2532> to abound <4052> and to suffer <5302> need. 13 I can <2480> do <2480> all <3956> things through <1722> Christ <5547> which <3588> strengtheneth <1743> me. 14 Notwithstanding <4133> ye have well <2573> done <4160>, that ye did communicate <4790> with my affliction <2347>. 15 Now <1161> ye Philippians <5374> know <1492> also <2532>, that in the beginning <0746> of the gospel <2098>, when <3753> I departed <1831> from Macedonia <3109>, no <3762> church <1577> communicated <2841> with me as concerning <3056> giving <1394> and receiving <3028>, but ye only <3441>. 16 For even <2532> in Thessalonica <2332> ye sent <3992> once <0530> and again <1364> unto my necessity <5532>. 17 Not because <3754> I desire <1934> a gift <1390>: but I desire <1934> fruit <2590> that may abound <4121> to your <5216> account <3056>. 18 But I have <0568> all <3956>, and abound <4052>: I am full <4137>, having received <1209> of Epaphroditus <1891> the things [which were sent] from you, an odour <3744> of a sweet <2175> smell <2175>, a sacrifice <2378> acceptable <1184>, wellpleasing <2101> to God <2316>. 19 But my God <2316> shall supply <4137> all <3956> your <5216> need <5532> according <2596> to his riches <4149> in glory <1391> by Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 20. Now <1161> unto God <2316> and our Father <3962> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 21 Salute <0782> every <3956> saint <0040> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. The brethren <0080> which are with me greet <0782> you. 22 All <3956> the saints <0040> salute <0782> you, chiefly <3122> they that are of Caesar's <2541> household <3614>. 23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. Colossians 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, and Timotheus <5095> [our] brother <0080>, 2 To the saints <0040> and faithful <4103> brethren <0080> in Christ <5547> which are at <1722> Colosse <2857>: Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 3. We give thanks <2168> to God <2316> and the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, praying <4336> always <3842> for you, 4 Since we heard <0191> of your <5216> faith <4102> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and of the love <0026> [which ye have] to all <3956> the saints <0040>, 5 For the hope <1680> which <3588> is laid <0606> up for you in heaven <3772>, whereof <3739> ye heard <4257> before <4257> in the word <3056> of the truth <0225> of the gospel <2098>; 6 Which <3588> is come <3918> unto you, as [it is] in all <3956> the world <2889>; and bringeth <2592> forth fruit <2592>, as [it doth] also <2532> in you, since <0575> the day <2250> ye heard <0191> [of it], and knew <1921> the grace <5485> of God <2316> in truth <0225>: 7 As ye also <2532> learned <3129> of Epaphras <1889> our dear <0027> fellowservant <4889>, who <3739> is for you a faithful <4103> minister <1249> of Christ <5547>; 8 Who <3588> also <2532> declared <1213> unto us your <5216> love <0026> in the Spirit <4151>. 9. For this <5124> cause <5124> we also <2532>, since <0575> the day <2250> we heard <0191> [it], do not cease <3973> to pray <4336> for you, and to desire <0154> that ye might be filled <4137> with the knowledge <1922> of his will <2307> in all <3956> wisdom <4678> and spiritual <4152> understanding <4907>; 10 That ye might walk <4043> worthy <0516> of the Lord <2962> unto all <3956> pleasing <0699>, being fruitful <2592> in every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>, and increasing <0837> in the knowledge <1922> of God <2316>; 11 Strengthened <1412> with all <3956> might <1411>, according <2596> to his glorious <1391> power <2904>, unto all <3956> patience <5281> and longsuffering <3115> with joyfulness <5479>; 12. Giving thanks <2168> unto the Father <3962>, which <3588> hath made <2427> us meet <2427> to be partakers <3310> of the inheritance <2819> of the saints <0040> in light <5457>: 13 Who <3739> hath delivered <4506> us from the power <1849> of darkness <4655>, and hath translated <3179> [us] into <1519> the kingdom <0932> of his dear <0026> Son <5207>: 14 In whom <3739> we have <2192> redemption <0629> through <1223> his blood <0129>, [even] the forgiveness <0859> of sins <0266>: 15 Who <3739> is the image <1504> of the invisible <0517> God <2316>, the firstborn <4416> of every <3956> creature <2937>: 16 For by him were all <3956> things created <2936>, that are in heaven <3772>, and that are in earth <1093>, visible <3707> and invisible <0517>, whether <1535> [they be] thrones <2362>, or <1535> dominions <2963>, or <1535> principalities <0746>, or <1535> powers <1849>: all <3956> things were created <2936> by him, and for him: 17 And he is before <4253> all <3956> things, and by him all <3956> things consist <4921>. 18 And he is the head <2776> of the body <4983>, the church <1577>: who <3739> is the beginning <0746>, the firstborn <4416> from the dead <3498>; that in all <3956> [things] he might have the preeminence <4409>. 19 For it pleased <2106> [the Father] that in him should all <3956> fulness <4138> dwell <2730>; 20 And, having made <1517> peace <1517> through <1223> the blood <0129> of his cross <4716>, by him to reconcile <0604> all <3956> things unto himself <0848>; by him, [I say], whether <1535> [they be] things in earth <1093>, or <1535> things in heaven <3772>. 21 And you, that were sometime <4218> alienated <0526> and enemies <2190> in [your] mind <1271> by wicked <4190> works <2041>, yet <1161> now <3570> hath he reconciled <0604> 22 In the body <4983> of his flesh <4561> through <1223> death <2288>, to present <3936> you holy <0040> and unblameable <0299> and unreproveable <0410> in his sight <2714>: 23 If <1489> ye continue <1961> in the faith <4102> grounded <2311> and settled <1476>, and [be] not moved <3334> away <3334> from the hope <1680> of the gospel <2098>, which ye have heard <0191>, [and] which <3588> was preached <2784> to every <3956> creature <2937> which is under <5259> heaven <3772>; whereof <3739> I Paul <3972> am made <1096> a minister <1249>; 24 Who now <3568> rejoice <5463> in my sufferings <3804> for you, and fill <0466> up that which is behind <5303> of the afflictions <2347> of Christ <5547> in my flesh <4561> for his body's <4983> sake, which <3603> is <3603> the church <1577>: 25 Whereof <3739> I am made <1096> a minister <1249>, according <2596> to the dispensation <3622> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325> to me for you, to fulfil <4137> the word <3056> of God <2316>; 26 [Even] the mystery <3466> which <3588> hath been hid <0613> from ages <0165> and from generations <1074>, but now <3570> is made <5319> manifest <5319> to his saints <0040>: 27 To whom <3739> God <2316> would <2309> make <1107> known <1107> what <5101> [is] the riches <4149> of the glory <1391> of this <5127> mystery <3466> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>; which <3739> is Christ <5547> in you, the hope <1680> of glory <1391>: 28 Whom <3739> we preach <2605>, warning <3560> every <3956> man <0444>, and teaching <1321> every <3956> man <0444> in all <3956> wisdom <4678>; that we may present <3936> every <3956> man <0444> perfect <5046> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: 29 Whereunto <3739> I also <2532> labour <2872>, striving <0075> according <2596> to his working <1753>, which <3588> worketh <1754> in me mightily <1411>. Colossians 2 1. For I would <2309> that ye knew <1492> what <2245> great <2245> conflict <0073> I have <2192> for you, and [for] them at <1722> Laodicea <2993>, and [for] as many <3745> as have not seen <3708> my face <4383> in the flesh <4561>; 2 That their hearts <2588> might be comforted <3870>, being knit <4822> together <4822> in love <0026>, and unto all <3956> riches <4149> of the full <4136> assurance <4136> of understanding <4907>, to the acknowledgement <1922> of the mystery <3466> of God <2316>, and of the Father <3962>, and of Christ <5547>; 3 In whom <3739> are hid <0614> all <3956> the treasures <2344> of wisdom <4678> and knowledge <1108>. 4. And this <5124> I say <3004>, lest <3361> any <3361> man should beguile <3884> you with enticing <4086> words <4086>. 5 For though <1499> I be absent <0548> in the flesh <4561>, yet <0235> am <1510> I with you in the spirit <4151>, joying <5463> and beholding <0991> your <5216> order <5010>, and the stedfastness <4733> of your <5216> faith <4102> in Christ <5547>. 6 As ye have therefore <3767> received <3880> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> the Lord <2962>, [so] walk <4043> ye in him: 7 Rooted <4492> and built <2026> up in him, and stablished <0950> in the faith <4102>, as ye have been taught <1321>, abounding <4052> therein <0846> with thanksgiving <2169>. 8 Beware <0991> lest <3361> any <5100> man spoil <4812> you through <1223> philosophy <5385> and vain <2756> deceit <0539>, after <2596> the tradition <3862> of men <0444>, after <2596> the rudiments <4747> of the world <2889>, and not after <2596> Christ <5547>. 9 For in him dwelleth <2730> all <3956> the fulness <4138> of the Godhead <2320> bodily <4985>. 10 And ye are complete <4137> in him, which <3739> is the head <2776> of all <3956> principality <0746> and power <1849>: 11 In whom <3739> also <2532> ye are circumcised <4059> with the circumcision <4061> made <1096> without <0886> hands <0886>, in putting <0555> off <0555> the body <4983> of the sins <0266> of the flesh <4561> by the circumcision <4061> of Christ <5547>: 12 Buried <4916> with him in baptism <0908>, wherein <1722> <3739> also <2532> ye are risen <4891> with [him] through <1223> the faith <4102> of the operation <1753> of God <2316>, who <3588> hath raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>. 13. And you, being <5607> dead <3498> in your <5216> sins <3900> and the uncircumcision <0203> of your <5216> flesh <4561>, hath he quickened <4806> together <4806> with him, having forgiven <5483> you all <3956> trespasses <3900>; 14 Blotting <1813> out the handwriting <5498> of ordinances <1378> that was against <2596> us, which <3739> was contrary <5227> to us, and took <0142> it out of the way <3319>, nailing <4338> it to his cross <4716>; 15 [And] having spoiled <0554> principalities <0746> and powers <1849>, he made <1165> a shew <1165> of them openly <3954>, triumphing <2358> over them in it. 16. Let no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> judge <2919> you in meat <1035>, or <2228> in drink <4213>, or <2228> in respect <3313> of an holyday <1859>, or <2228> of the new <3561> moon <3561>, or <2228> of the sabbath <4521> [days]: 17 Which <3739> are a shadow <4639> of things to come <3195>; but the body <4983> [is] of Christ <5547>. 18 Let no <3367> man <3367> beguile <2603> you of your reward <2603> in a voluntary <2309> humility <5012> and worshipping <2356> of angels <0032>, intruding <1687> into those things which <3739> he hath not seen <3708>, vainly <1500> puffed <5448> up by his fleshly <4561> mind <3563>, 19 And not holding <2902> the Head <2776>, from which <3739> all <3956> the body <4983> by joints <0860> and bands <4886> having nourishment <2023> ministered <2023>, and knit <4822> together <4822>, increaseth <0837> with the increase <0838> of God <2316>. 20 Wherefore <3767> if <1487> ye be dead <0599> with Christ <5547> from the rudiments <4747> of the world <2889>, why <5101>, as though living <2198> in the world <2889>, are ye subject <1379> to ordinances <1379>, 21 (Touch <0680> not <3361>; taste <1089> not <3366>; handle <2345> not <3366>; 22 Which <3739> all <3956> are to perish <5356> with the using <0671>;) after <2596> the commandments <1778> and doctrines <1319> of men <0444>? 23 Which <3748> things have <2192> indeed <3303> a shew <3056> of wisdom <4678> in will <1479> worship <1479>, and humility <5012>, and neglecting <0857> of the body <4983>; not in any <5100> honour <5092> to the satisfying <4140> of the flesh <4561>. Colossians 3 1. If <1487> ye then <3767> be risen <4891> with Christ <5547>, seek <2212> those <3588> things which are above <0507>, where <3757> Christ <5547> sitteth <2521> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>. 2 Set <5426> your affection <5426> on things above <0507>, not on things on <1909> the earth <1093>. 3 For ye are dead <0599>, and your <5216> life <2222> is hid <2928> with Christ <5547> in God <2316>. 4 When <3752> Christ <5547>, [who is] our life <2222>, shall appear <5319>, then <5119> shall ye also <2532> appear <5319> with him in glory <1391>. 5. Mortify <3499> therefore <3767> your <5216> members <3196> which <3588> are upon the earth <1093>; fornication <4202>, uncleanness <0167>, inordinate <3806> affection <3806>, evil <2556> concupiscence <1939>, and covetousness <4124>, which <3748> is idolatry <1495>: 6 For which <3739> things' sake the wrath <3709> of God <2316> cometh <2064> on <1909> the children <5207> of disobedience <0543>: 7 In the which <3739> ye also <2532> walked <4043> some <4218> time <4218>, when <3753> ye lived <2198> in them. 8. But now <3570> ye also <2532> put <0659> off <0659> all <3956> these <3588>; anger <3709>, wrath <2372>, malice <2549>, blasphemy <0988>, filthy <0148> communication <0148> out of your <5216> mouth <4750>. 9 Lie <5574> not one <0240> to another <0240>, seeing that ye have put <0554> off <0554> the old <3820> man <0444> with his deeds <4234>; 10 And have put <1746> on <1746> the new <3501> [man], which <3588> is renewed <0341> in knowledge <1922> after <2596> the image <1504> of him that created <2936> him: 11 Where <3699> there is neither <3756> Greek <1672> nor <2532> Jew <2453>, circumcision <4061> nor <2532> uncircumcision <0203>, Barbarian <0915>, Scythian <4658>, bond <1401> [nor] free <1658>: but Christ <5547> [is] all <3956>, and in all <3956>. 12. Put <1746> on <1746> therefore <3767>, as the elect <1588> of God <2316>, holy <0040> and beloved <0025>, bowels <4698> of mercies <3628>, kindness <5544>, humbleness <5012> of mind, meekness <4236>, longsuffering <3115>; 13 Forbearing <0430> one <0240> another <0240>, and forgiving <5483> one <1438> another <1438>, if <1437> any <5100> man have <2192> a quarrel <3437> against <4314> any <5100>: even <2532> as Christ <5547> forgave <5483> you, so <3779> also <2532> [do] ye. 14 And above <1909> all <3956> these <5125> things [put on] charity <0026>, which <3748> is the bond <4886> of perfectness <5047>. 15 And let the peace <1515> of God <2316> rule <1018> in your <5216> hearts <2588>, to the which <3739> also <2532> ye are called <2564> in one <1520> body <4983>; and be ye thankful <2170>. 16 Let the word <3056> of Christ <5547> dwell <1774> in you richly <4146> in all <3956> wisdom <4678>; teaching <1321> and admonishing <3560> one <1438> another <1438> in psalms <5568> and hymns <5215> and spiritual <4152> songs <5603>, singing <0103> with grace <5485> in your <5216> hearts <2588> to the Lord <2962>. 17 And whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160> in word <3056> or <2228> deed <2041>, [do] all <3956> in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, giving thanks <2168> to God <2316> and the Father <3962> by him. 18. Wives <1135>, submit <5293> yourselves unto your <2398> own <2398> husbands <0435>, as it is fit <0433> in the Lord <2962>. 19 Husbands <0435>, love <0025> [your] wives <1135>, and be not bitter <4087> against <4314> them. 20 Children <5043>, obey <5219> [your] parents <1118> in all <3956> things: for this <5124> is well <2101> pleasing <2101> unto the Lord <2962>. 21 Fathers <3962>, provoke <2042> not your <5216> children <5043> [to anger], lest <3361> they be discouraged <0120>. 22 Servants <1401>, obey <5219> in all <3956> things [your] masters <2962> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>; not with eyeservice <3787>, as menpleasers <0441>; but in singleness <0572> of heart <2588>, fearing <5399> God <2316>: 23 And whatsoever <1437> ye do <4160>, do <2038> [it] heartily <5590>, as to the Lord <2962>, and not unto men <0444>; 24 Knowing <1492> that of the Lord <2962> ye shall receive <0618> the reward <0469> of the inheritance <2817>: for ye serve <1398> the Lord <2962> Christ <5547>. 25 But he that doeth <0091> wrong <0091> shall receive <2865> for the wrong <0091> which <3739> he hath done <0091>: and there is no <3756> respect <4382> of persons <4382>. Colossians 4 1. Masters <2962>, give <3930> unto [your] servants <1401> that which is just <1342> and equal <2471>; knowing <1492> that ye also <2532> have <2192> a Master <2962> in heaven <3772>. 2. Continue <4342> in prayer <4335>, and watch <1127> in the same <0846> with thanksgiving <2169>; 3 Withal <0260> praying <4336> also <2532> for us, that God <2316> would open <0455> unto us a door <2374> of utterance <3056>, to speak <2980> the mystery <3466> of Christ <5547>, for which <3739> I am also <2532> in bonds <1210>: 4 That I may make <5319> it manifest <5319>, as I ought <1163> to speak <2980>. 5. Walk <4043> in wisdom <4678> toward <4314> them that are without <1854>, redeeming <1805> the time <2540>. 6 Let your <5216> speech <3056> [be] alway <3842> with grace <5485>, seasoned <0741> with salt <0217>, that ye may know <1492> how <4459> ye ought <1163> to answer <0611> every <1538> man <1520>. 7. All <3956> my state <2596> shall Tychicus <5190> declare <1107> unto you, [who is] a beloved <0027> brother <0080>, and a faithful <4103> minister <1249> and fellowservant <4889> in the Lord <2962>: 8 Whom <3739> I have sent <3992> unto you for the same <0846> purpose, that he might know <1097> your <5216> estate <4012>, and comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>; 9 With Onesimus <3682>, a faithful <4103> and beloved <0027> brother <0080>, who <3739> is [one] of you. They shall make <1107> known <1107> unto you all <3956> things which <3588> [are done] here <5602>. 10 Aristarchus <0708> my fellowprisoner <4869> saluteth <0782> you, and Marcus <3138>, sister's <0431> son <0431> to Barnabas <0921>, (touching <4012> whom <3739> ye received <2983> commandments <1785>: if <1437> he come <2064> unto you, receive <1209> him;) 11 And Jesus <2424>, which <3588> is called <3004> Justus <2459>, who <3588> are of the circumcision <4061>. These <3778> only <3441> [are my] fellowworkers <4904> unto the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>, which <3748> have been <1096> a comfort <3931> unto me. 12 Epaphras <1889>, who <3588> is [one] of you, a servant <1401> of Christ <5547>, saluteth <0782> you, always <3842> labouring <0075> fervently for you in prayers <4335>, that ye may stand <2476> perfect <5046> and complete <4137> in all <3956> the will <2307> of God <2316>. 13 For I bear <3140> him record <3140>, that he hath <2192> a great <4183> zeal <2205> for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea <2993>, and them in Hierapolis <2404>. 14 Luke <3065>, the beloved <0027> physician <2395>, and Demas <1214>, greet <0782> you. 15 Salute <0782> the brethren <0080> which are in Laodicea <2993>, and Nymphas <3564>, and the church <1577> which is in his house <3624>. 16 And when <3752> this <3588> epistle <1992> is read <0314> among <3844> you, cause <4160> that it be read <0314> also <2532> in the church <1577> of the Laodiceans <2994>; and that ye likewise <2532> read <0314> the [epistle] from Laodicea <2993>. 17 And say <2036> to Archippus <0751>, Take heed <0991> to the ministry <1248> which <3739> thou hast received <3880> in the Lord <2962>, that thou fulfil <4137> it. 18 The salutation <0783> by the hand <5495> of me Paul <3972>. Remember <3421> my bonds <1199>. Grace <5485> [be] with you. Amen <0281>. 1Thessalonians 1 1. Paul <3972>, and Silvanus <4610>, and Timotheus <5095>, unto the church <1577> of the Thessalonians <2331> [which is] in God <2316> the Father <3962> and [in] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 2. We give thanks <2168> to God <2316> always <3842> for you all <3956>, making <4160> mention <3417> of you in our prayers <4335>; 3 Remembering <3421> without <0089> ceasing <0089> your <5209> work <2041> of faith <4102>, and labour <2873> of love <0026>, and patience <5281> of hope <1680> in our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, in the sight <1715> of God <2316> and our Father <3962>; 4 Knowing <1492>, brethren <0080> beloved <0025>, your <5216> election <1589> of God <2316>. 5 For our gospel <2098> came <1096> not unto you in word <3056> only <3440>, but also <2532> in power <1411>, and in the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, and in much <4183> assurance <4136>; as ye know <1492> what <3634> manner <3634> of men we were among <1722> you for your <5209> sake. 6. And ye became <1096> followers <3402> of us, and of the Lord <2962>, having received <1209> the word <3056> in much <4183> affliction <2347>, with joy <5479> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>: 7 So <5620> that ye were ensamples <5179> to all <3956> that believe <4100> in Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <0882>. 8 For from you sounded <1837> out the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> not only <3440> in Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <0882>, but also <2532> in every <3956> place <5117> your <5216> faith <4102> to God-ward <2316> is spread <1831> abroad <1831>; so <5620> that we need <5532> not to speak <2980> any <5100> thing. 9 For they themselves <0846> shew <0518> of us what <3697> manner <3697> of entering <1529> in we had <2192> unto you, and how <4459> ye turned <1994> to God <2316> from idols <1497> to serve <1398> the living <2198> and true <0228> God <2316>; 10 And to wait <0362> for his Son <5207> from heaven <3772>, whom <3739> he raised <1453> from the dead <3498>, [even] Jesus <2424>, which <3588> delivered <4506> us from the wrath <3709> to come <2064>. 1Thessalonians 2 1. For yourselves <0846>, brethren <0080>, know <1492> our entrance <1529> in unto you, that it was not in vain <2756>: 2 But even <2532> after that we had suffered <4310> before <4310>, and were shamefully <5195> entreated <5195>, as ye know <1492>, at <1722> Philippi <5375>, we were bold <3955> in our God <2316> to speak <2980> unto you the gospel <2098> of God <2316> with much <4183> contention <0073>. 3 For our exhortation <3874> [was] not of deceit <4106>, nor <3761> of uncleanness <0167>, nor <3777> in guile <1388>: 4 But as we were allowed <1381> of God <2316> to be put <4160> in trust <4100> with the gospel <2098>, even so <3779> we speak <2980>; not as pleasing <0700> men <0444>, but God <2316>, which trieth <1381> our hearts <2588>. 5 For neither <3777> at <4218> any <4218> time <4218> used <1722> we flattering <2850> words <3056>, as ye know <1492>, nor <3777> a cloke <4392> of covetousness <4124>; God <2316> [is] witness <3144>: 6 Nor <3777> of men <0444> sought <2212> we glory <1391>, neither <3777> of you, nor <3777> [yet] of others <0243>, when we might <1410> have been burdensome <0922>, as the apostles <0652> of Christ <5547>. 7. But we were gentle <2261> among <3319> you, even as a nurse <5162> cherisheth <2282> her children <5043>: 8 So <3779> being affectionately <2442> desirous <2442> of you, we were willing <2106> to have imparted <3330> unto you, not the gospel <2098> of God <2316> only <3440>, but also <2532> our own <1438> souls <5590>, because <1360> ye were dear <0027> unto us. 9 For ye remember <3421>, brethren <0080>, our labour <2873> and travail <3449>: for labouring <2873> night <3571> and day <2250>, because <4314> we would not be chargeable <1912> unto any <5100> of you, we preached <2784> unto you the gospel <2098> of God <2316>. 10 Ye [are] witnesses <3144>, and God <2316> [also], how <5613> holily <3743> and justly <1346> and unblameably <0274> we behaved <1096> ourselves among you that believe <4100>: 11 As <2509> ye know <1492> how <5613> we exhorted <3870> and comforted <3888> and charged <3140> every <1538> one <1520> of you, as a father <3962> [doth] his children <5043>, 12 That ye would walk <4043> worthy <0516> of God <2316>, who <3588> hath called <2564> you unto his kingdom <0932> and glory <1391>. 13. For this <5124> cause <1223> also <2532> thank <2168> we God <2316> without <0089> ceasing <0089>, because <3754>, when ye received <3880> the word <3056> of God <2316> which ye heard <0189> of us, ye received <1209> [it] not [as] the word <3056> of men <0444>, but as it is in truth <0230>, the word <3056> of God <2316>, which <3739> effectually <1754> worketh <1754> also <2532> in you that believe <4100>. 14 For ye, brethren <0080>, became <1096> followers <3402> of the churches <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> in Judaea <2449> are in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: for ye also <2532> have suffered <3958> like <5024> things of your <2398> own <2398> countrymen <4853>, even <2532> as they [have] of the Jews <2453>: 15 Who <3588> both <2532> killed <0615> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and their own <2398> prophets <4396>, and have persecuted <1559> us; and they please <0700> not God <2316>, and are contrary <1727> to all <3956> men <0444>: 16 Forbidding <2967> us to speak <2980> to the Gentiles <1484> that they might be saved <4982>, to fill <0378> up their sins <0266> alway <3842>: for the wrath <3709> is come <5348> upon them to the uttermost <5056>. 17. But we, brethren <0080>, being taken <0642> from you for a short <5610> time <2540> in presence <4383>, not in heart <2588>, endeavoured <4704> the more <4056> abundantly <4056> to see <1492> your <5216> face <4383> with great <4183> desire <1939>. 18 Wherefore <1352> we would <2309> have come <2064> unto you, even <3303> I Paul <3972>, once <0530> and again <1364>; but Satan <4567> hindered <1465> us. 19 For what <5101> [is] our hope <1680>, or <2228> joy <5479>, or <2228> crown <4735> of rejoicing <2746>? [Are] not even <2532> ye in the presence <1715> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> at <1722> his coming <3952>? 20 For ye are our glory <1391> and joy <5479>. 1Thessalonians 3 1. Wherefore <1352> when we could no <3371> longer <3371> forbear <4722>, we thought <2106> it good <2106> to be left <2641> at <1722> Athens <0116> alone <3441>; 2 And sent <3992> Timotheus <5095>, our brother <0080>, and minister <1249> of God <2316>, and our fellowlabourer <4904> in the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>, to establish <4741> you, and to comfort <3870> you concerning <4012> your <5216> faith <4102>: 3 That no <3367> man <3367> should be moved <4525> by these <5025> afflictions <2347>: for yourselves <0846> know <1492> that we are appointed <2749> thereunto <5124>. 4 For verily <2532>, when <3753> we were with you, we told <4302> you before <4302> that we should <3195> suffer tribulation <2346>; even <2532> as it came <1096> to pass, and ye know <1492>. 5 For this <5124> cause <1223>, when I could no <3371> longer <3371> forbear <4722>, I sent <3992> to know <1097> your <5216> faith <4102>, lest <3381> by some <3381> means <4458> the tempter <3985> have tempted <3985> you, and our labour <2873> be in vain <2756>. 6. But now <0737> when Timotheus <5095> came <2064> from you unto us, and brought <2097> us good <2097> tidings <2097> of your <5216> faith <4102> and charity <0026>, and that ye have <2192> good <0018> remembrance <3417> of us always <3842>, desiring <1971> greatly <1971> to see <1492> us, as <2509> we also <2532> [to see] you: 7 Therefore <5124>, brethren <0080>, we were comforted <3870> over <1909> you in all <3956> our affliction <2347> and distress <0318> by your <5216> faith <4102>: 8 For now <3568> we live <2198>, if <1437> ye stand <4739> fast in the Lord <2962>. 9 For what <5101> thanks <2169> can <1410> we render <0467> to God <2316> again <0467> for you, for all <3956> the joy <5479> wherewith <3739> we joy <5463> for your <5209> sakes before <1715> our God <2316>; 10 Night <3571> and day <2250> praying <1189> exceedingly <4053> that we might see <1492> your <5216> face <4383>, and might perfect <2675> that which is lacking <5303> in your <5216> faith <4102>? 11. Now <1161> God <2316> himself <0846> and our Father <3962>, and our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, direct <2720> our way <3598> unto you. 12 And the Lord <2962> make <4121> you to increase <4121> and abound <4052> in love <0026> one <0240> toward <1519> another <0240>, and toward <1519> all <3956> [men], even <2532> as <2509> we [do] toward <1519> you: 13 To the end <1519> he may stablish <4741> your <5216> hearts <2588> unblameable <0273> in holiness <0042> before <1715> God <2316>, even <2532> our Father <3962>, at <1722> the coming <3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> with all <3956> his saints <0040>. 1Thessalonians 4 1. Furthermore <3063> then <3767> we beseech <2065> you, brethren <0080>, and exhort <3870> [you] by the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, that as ye have received <3880> of us how <4459> ye ought <1163> to walk <4043> and to please <0700> God <2316>, [so] ye would abound <4052> more <3123> and more <3123>. 2 For ye know <1492> what <5101> commandments <3852> we gave <1325> you by the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>. 3 For this <5124> is the will <2307> of God <2316>, [even] your <5216> sanctification <0038>, that ye should abstain <0567> from fornication <4202>: 4 That every <1538> one of you should know <1492> how to possess <2932> his vessel <4632> in sanctification <0038> and honour <5092>; 5 Not in the lust <3806> of concupiscence <1939>, even <2532> as <2509> the Gentiles <1484> which <3588> know <1492> not God <2316>: 6 That no <3361> [man] go <5233> beyond <5233> and defraud <4122> his brother <0080> in [any] matter <4229>: because <1360> that the Lord <2962> [is] the avenger <1558> of all <3956> such <5130>, as we also <2532> have forewarned <4277> you and testified <1263>. 7 For God <2316> hath not called <2564> us unto uncleanness <0167>, but unto holiness <0038>. 8 He therefore <5105> that despiseth <0114>, despiseth <0114> not man <0444>, but God <2316>, who <3588> hath also <2532> given <1325> unto us his holy <0040> Spirit <4151>. 9. But as touching <4012> brotherly <5360> love <5360> ye need <5532> not that I write <1125> unto you: for ye yourselves <0846> are taught <2312> of God <2312> to love <0025> one <0240> another <0240>. 10 And indeed <1063> ye do <4160> it toward <1519> all <3956> the brethren <0080> which <3588> are in all <3650> Macedonia <3109>: but we beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, that ye increase <4052> more <3123> and more <3123>; 11 And that ye study <5389> to be quiet <2270>, and to do <4238> your <2398> own <2398> business <2398>, and to work <2038> with your <2398> own <2398> hands <5495>, as we commanded <3853> you; 12 That ye may walk <4043> honestly <2156> toward <4314> them that are without <1854>, and [that] ye may have <2192> lack <5532> of nothing <3367>. 13. But I would <2309> not have you to be ignorant <0050>, brethren <0080>, concerning <4012> them which are asleep <2837>, that ye sorrow <3076> not, even <2532> as others <3062> which <3588> have <2192> no <3361> hope <1680>. 14 For if <1487> we believe <4100> that Jesus <2424> died <0599> and rose <0450> again <0450>, even so <3779> them also <2532> which sleep <2837> in Jesus <2424> will God <2316> bring <0071> with him. 15 For this <5124> we say <3004> unto you by the word <3056> of the Lord <2962>, that we which <3588> are alive <2198> [and] remain <4035> unto the coming <3952> of the Lord <2962> shall not prevent <5348> them which <3588> are asleep <2837>. 16 For the Lord <2962> himself <0846> shall descend <2597> from heaven <3772> with a shout <2752>, with the voice <5456> of the archangel <0743>, and with the trump <4536> of God <2316>: and the dead <3498> in Christ <5547> shall rise <0450> first <4412>: 17 Then <1899> we which <3588> are alive <2198> [and] remain <4035> shall be caught <0726> up together <0260> with them in the clouds <3507>, to meet <0529> the Lord <2962> in the air <0109>: and so <3779> shall we ever <3842> be with the Lord <2962>. 18 Wherefore <5620> comfort <3870> one <0240> another <0240> with these <5125> words <3056>. 1Thessalonians 5 1. But of the times <5550> and the seasons <2540>, brethren <0080>, ye have <2192> no <3756> need <5532> that I write <1125> unto you. 2 For yourselves <0846> know <1492> perfectly <0199> that the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> so <3779> cometh <2064> as a thief <2812> in the night <3571>. 3 For when <3752> they shall say <3004>, Peace <1515> and safety <0803>; then <5119> sudden <0160> destruction <3639> cometh <2186> upon them, as travail <5604> upon a woman with child <1064>; and they shall not escape <1628>. 4 But ye, brethren <0080>, are not in darkness <4655>, that that day <2250> should overtake <2638> you as a thief <2812>. 5 Ye are all <3956> the children <5207> of light <5457>, and the children <5207> of the day <2250>: we are not of the night <3571>, nor <3761> of darkness <4655>. 6. Therefore <3767> let us not sleep <2518>, as [do] others <3062>; but let us watch <1127> and be sober <3525>. 7 For they that sleep <2518> sleep <2518> in the night <3571>; and they that be drunken <3184> are drunken <3184> in the night <3571>. 8 But let us, who <3588> are of the day <2250>, be sober <3525>, putting <1746> on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of faith <4102> and love <0026>; and for an helmet <4030>, the hope <1680> of salvation <4991>. 9 For God <2316> hath not appointed <5087> us to wrath <3709>, but to obtain <4047> salvation <4991> by our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, 10 Who <3588> died <0599> for us, that, whether <1535> we wake <1127> or <1535> sleep <2518>, we should live <2198> together <0260> with him. 11. Wherefore <1352> comfort <3870> yourselves <0240> together <0240>, and edify <3618> one <1520> another <1520>, even <2531> as also <2532> ye do <4160>. 12 And we beseech <2065> you, brethren <0080>, to know <1492> them which <3588> labour <2872> among <1722> you, and are over <4291> you in the Lord <2962>, and admonish <3560> you; 13 And to esteem <2233> them very <5228> highly <4053> in love <0026> for their work's <2041> sake. [And] be at <1722> peace <1514> among <1722> yourselves <1438>. 14 Now <1161> we exhort <3870> you, brethren <0080>, warn <3560> them that are unruly <0813>, comfort <3888> the feebleminded <3642>, support <0472> the weak <0772>, be patient <3114> toward <4314> all <3956> [men]. 15 See <3708> that none <5100> render <0591> evil <2556> for evil <2556> unto any <5100> [man]; but ever <3842> follow <1377> that which <3588> is good <0018>, both <2532> among <1519> yourselves <1438>, and to all <3956> [men]. 16. Rejoice <5463> evermore <3842>. 17 Pray <4336> without <0089> ceasing <0089>. 18 In every <3956> thing give thanks <2168>: for this <5124> is the will <2307> of God <2316> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> concerning <1519> you. 19 Quench <4570> not the Spirit <4151>. 20 Despise <1848> not prophesyings <4394>. 21 Prove <1381> all <3956> things; hold <2722> fast <2722> that which <3588> is good <2570>. 22 Abstain <0567> from all <3956> appearance <1491> of evil <4190>. 23. And the very <0846> God <2316> of peace <1515> sanctify <0037> you wholly <3651>; and [I pray God] your <3588> whole <3648> spirit <4151> and soul <5590> and body <4983> be preserved <5083> blameless <0274> unto the coming <3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 24 Faithful <4103> [is] he that calleth <2564> you, who <3739> also <2532> will do <4160> [it]. 25 Brethren <0080>, pray <4336> for us. 26 Greet <0782> all <3956> the brethren <0080> with an holy <0040> kiss <5370>. 27 I charge <3726> you by the Lord <2962> that this <3588> epistle <1992> be read <0314> unto all <3956> the holy <0040> brethren <0080>. 28 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you. Amen <0281>. 2Thessalonians 1 1. Paul <3972>, and Silvanus <4610>, and Timotheus <5095>, unto the church <1577> of the Thessalonians <2331> in God <2316> our Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 2 Grace <5485> unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 3 We are bound <3784> to thank <2168> God <2316> always <3842> for you, brethren <0080>, as it is meet <0514>, because <3754> that your <5216> faith <4102> groweth <5232> exceedingly, and the charity <0026> of every <1538> one <1520> of you all <3956> toward <1519> each <0240> other <0240> aboundeth <4121>; 4 So <5620> that we ourselves <0846> glory <2744> in you in the churches <1577> of God <2316> for your <5216> patience <5281> and faith <4102> in all <3956> your <5216> persecutions <1375> and tribulations <2347> that ye endure <0430>: 5. [Which is] a manifest token <1730> of the righteous <1342> judgment <2920> of God <2316>, that ye may be counted <2661> worthy <2661> of the kingdom <0932> of God <2316>, for which <3739> ye also <2532> suffer <3958>: 6 Seeing <1512> [it is] a righteous <1342> thing with God <2316> to recompense <0467> tribulation <2347> to them that trouble <2346> you; 7 And to you who are troubled <2346> rest <0425> with us, when <3739> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> shall be revealed <0602> from heaven <3772> with his mighty <1411> angels <0032>, 8 In flaming <5395> fire <4442> taking <1325> vengeance <1557> on them that know <1492> not God <2316>, and that obey <5219> not the gospel <2098> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 9 Who <3748> shall be punished <1349> <5099> with everlasting <0166> destruction <3639> from the presence <4383> of the Lord <2962>, and from the glory <1391> of his power <2479>; 10 When <3752> he shall come <2064> to be glorified <1740> in his saints <0040>, and to be admired <2296> in all <3956> them that believe <4100> (because our testimony <3142> among <1909> you was believed <4100>) in that day <2250>. 11. Wherefore <3739> also <2532> we pray <4336> always <3842> for you, that our God <2316> would count <0515> you worthy <0515> of [this] calling <2821>, and fulfil <4137> all <3956> the good pleasure <2107> of [his] goodness <0019>, and the work <2041> of faith <4102> with power <1411>: 12 That the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> may be glorified <1740> in you, and ye in him, according <2596> to the grace <5485> of our God <2316> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 2Thessalonians 2 1. Now <1161> we beseech <2065> you, brethren <0080>, by the coming <3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and [by] our gathering <1997> together <1997> unto him, 2 That ye be not soon <5030> shaken <4531> in mind <3563>, or <3383> be troubled <2360>, neither <3383> by spirit <4151>, nor <3383> by word <3056>, nor <3383> by letter <1992> as from us, as that the day <2250> of Christ <5547> is at <1764> hand <1764>. 3. Let no <3361> man <5100> deceive <1818> you by any <3367> means <5158>: for [that day shall not come], except <3362> there come <2064> a falling <0646> away <0646> first <4412>, and that man <0444> of sin <0266> be revealed <0601>, the son <5207> of perdition <0684>; 4 Who <3588> opposeth <0480> and exalteth <5229> himself <1438> above <1909> all <3956> that is called <3004> God <2316>, or <2228> that is worshipped <4574>; so <5620> that he as God <2316> sitteth <2523> in the temple <3485> of God <2316>, shewing <0584> himself <1438> that he is God <2316>. 5 Remember <3421> ye not, that, when I was yet <2089> with you, I told <3004> you these <5023> things? 6 And now <3568> ye know <1492> what <3588> withholdeth <2722> that he might be revealed <0601> in his time <2540>. 7 For the mystery <3466> of iniquity <0458> doth already <2235> work <1754>: only <3440> he who now <0737> letteth <2722> [will let], until <2193> he be taken <1096> out of the way <3319>. 8 And then <5119> shall that Wicked <0459> be revealed <0601>, whom <3739> the Lord <2962> shall consume <0355> with the spirit <4151> of his mouth <4750>, and shall destroy <2673> with the brightness <2015> of his coming <3952>: 9 [Even him], whose <3739> coming <3952> is after <2596> the working <1753> of Satan <4567> with all <3956> power <1411> and signs <4592> and lying <5579> wonders <5059>, 10 And with all <3956> deceivableness <0539> of unrighteousness <0093> in them that perish <0622>; because <3739> they received <1209> not the love <0026> of the truth <0225>, that they might be saved <4982>. 11 And for this <5124> cause <1223> God <2316> shall send <3992> them strong <1753> delusion <4106>, that they should believe <4100> a lie <5579>: 12 That they all <3956> might be damned <2919> who <3588> believed <4100> not the truth <0225>, but had pleasure <2106> in unrighteousness <0093>. 13. But we are bound <3784> to give thanks <2168> alway <3842> to God <2316> for you, brethren <0080> beloved <0025> of the Lord <2962>, because <3754> God <2316> hath from the beginning <0746> chosen <0138> you to salvation <4991> through <1722> sanctification <0038> of the Spirit <4151> and belief <4102> of the truth <0225>: 14 Whereunto <3739> he called <2564> you by our gospel <2098>, to the obtaining <4047> of the glory <1391> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 15 Therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, stand <4739> fast, and hold <2902> the traditions <3862> which <3739> ye have been taught <1321>, whether <1535> by word <3056>, or <1535> our epistle <1992>. 16. Now <1161> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> himself <0846>, and God <2316>, even <2532> our Father <3962>, which <3588> hath loved <0025> us, and hath given <1325> [us] everlasting <0166> consolation <3874> and good <0018> hope <1680> through <1722> grace <5485>, 17 Comfort <3870> your <5216> hearts <2588>, and stablish <4741> you in every <3956> good <0018> word <3056> and work <2041>. 2Thessalonians 3 1. Finally <3063>, brethren <0080>, pray <4336> for us, that the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> may have [free] course <5143>, and be glorified <1392>, even <2532> as [it is] with you: 2 And that we may be delivered <4506> from unreasonable <0824> and wicked <4190> men <0444>: for all <3956> [men] have not faith <4102>. 3 But the Lord <2962> is faithful <4103>, who <3739> shall stablish <4741> you, and keep <5442> [you] from evil <4190>. 4 And we have confidence <3982> in the Lord <2962> touching <1909> you, that ye both <2532> do <4160> and will do <4160> the things which <3739> we command <3853> you. 5 And the Lord <2962> direct <2720> your <5216> hearts <2588> into <1519> the love <0026> of God <2316>, and into <1519> the patient <5281> waiting for Christ <5547>. 6. Now <1161> we command <3853> you, brethren <0080>, in the name <3686> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye withdraw <4724> yourselves from every <3956> brother <0080> that walketh <4043> disorderly <0814>, and not after <2596> the tradition <3862> which <3739> he received <3880> of us. 7 For yourselves <0846> know <1492> how <4459> ye ought <1163> to follow <3401> us: for we behaved <0812> not ourselves disorderly <0812> among <1722> you; 8 Neither <3761> did we eat <5315> any <5100> man's bread <0740> for nought <1432>; but wrought <2038> with labour <2873> and travail <3449> night <3571> and day <2250>, that we might not be chargeable <1912> to any <5100> of you: 9 Not because <3754> we have <2192> not power <1849>, but to make <1325> ourselves <1438> an ensample <5179> unto you to follow <3401> us. 10 For even <2532> when <3753> we were with you, this <5124> we commanded <3853> you, that if <1487> any <1536> would <2309> not work <2038>, neither <3366> should he eat <2068>. 11 For we hear <0191> that there are some <5100> which walk <4043> among <1722> you disorderly <0814>, working <2038> not <3367> at <3367> all <3367>, but are busybodies <4020>. 12 Now <1161> them that are such <5108> we command <3853> and exhort <3870> by our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that with quietness <2271> they work <2038>, and eat <2068> their own <1438> bread <0740>. 13 But ye, brethren <0080>, be not weary <1573> in well <2569> doing <2569>. 14 And if <1487> any <5100> man obey <5219> not our word <3056> by this <3588> epistle <1992>, note <4593> that man, and have no <3361> company <4874> with him, that he may be ashamed <1788>. 15 Yet <2532> count <2233> [him] not as an enemy <2190>, but admonish <3560> [him] as a brother <0080>. 16. Now <1161> the Lord <2962> of peace <1515> himself <0846> give <1325> you peace <1515> always <3956> by all <3956> means <5158>. The Lord <2962> [be] with you all <3956>. 17 The salutation <0783> of Paul <3972> with mine <1699> own hand <5495>, which <3739> is the token <4592> in every <3956> epistle <1992>: so <3779> I write <1125>. 18 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. 1Timothy 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the commandment <2003> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>, and Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, [which is] our hope <1680>; 2 Unto Timothy <5095>, [my] own <1103> son <5043> in the faith <4102>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, [and] peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962> and Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. 3 As I besought <3870> thee to abide <4357> still <4357> at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, when I went <4198> into <1519> Macedonia <3109>, that thou mightest charge <3853> some <5100> that they teach <2085> no <3361> other <2085> doctrine, 4 Neither <3366> give heed <4337> to fables <3454> and endless <0562> genealogies <1076>, which <3748> minister <3930> questions <2214>, rather <3123> than <2228> godly <2316> edifying <3620> which <3588> is in faith <4102>: [so do]. 5. Now <1161> the end <5056> of the commandment <3852> is charity <0026> out of a pure <2513> heart <2588>, and [of] a good <0018> conscience <4893>, and [of] faith <4102> unfeigned <0505>: 6 From which <3739> some <5100> having swerved <0795> have turned <1624> aside <1624> unto vain <3150> jangling <3150>; 7 Desiring <2309> to be teachers <3547> of the law <3547>; understanding <3539> neither <3383> what <3739> they say <3004>, nor <3383> whereof <5101> they affirm <1226>. 8 But we know <1492> that the law <3551> [is] good <2570>, if <1437> a man <5100> use <5530> it lawfully <3545>; 9 Knowing <1492> this <5124>, that the law <3551> is not made <2749> for a righteous <1342> man, but for the lawless <0459> and disobedient <0506>, for the ungodly <0765> and for sinners <0268>, for unholy <0462> and profane <0952>, for murderers <3964> of fathers <3964> and murderers <3389> of mothers <3389>, for manslayers <0409>, 10 For whoremongers <4205>, for them that defile <0733> themselves with mankind <0733>, for menstealers <0405>, for liars <5583>, for perjured <1965> persons <0678>, and if <1487> there be any <1536> other <2087> thing that is contrary <0480> to sound <5198> doctrine <1319>; 11 According <2596> to the glorious <1391> gospel <2098> of the blessed <3107> God <2316>, which <3739> was committed <4100> to my trust <4100>. 12. And I thank <5485> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>, who <3588> hath enabled <1743> me, for that he counted <2233> me faithful <4103>, putting <5087> me into <1519> the ministry <1248>; 13 Who <3588> was before <4386> a blasphemer <0989>, and a persecutor <1376>, and injurious <5197>: but I obtained <1653> mercy <1653>, because <3754> I did [it] ignorantly <0050> in unbelief <0570>. 14 And the grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> was exceeding <5250> abundant <5250> with faith <4102> and love <0026> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 15 This <3588> [is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>, and worthy <0514> of all <3956> acceptation <0594>, that Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> came <2064> into <1519> the world <2889> to save <4982> sinners <0268>; of whom <3739> I am <1510> chief <4413>. 16 Howbeit <0235> for this <5124> cause <1223> I obtained <1653> mercy <1653>, that in me first <4413> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> might shew <1731> forth <1731> all <3956> longsuffering <3115>, for a pattern <5296> to them which should <3195> hereafter <3195> believe <4100> on <1909> him to life <2222> everlasting <0166>. 17 Now <1161> unto the King <0935> eternal <0165>, immortal <0862>, invisible <0517>, the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316>, [be] honour <5092> and glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 18. This <5026> charge <3852> I commit <3908> unto thee, son <5043> Timothy <5095>, according <2596> to the prophecies <4394> which went <4254> before <4254> on <1909> thee, that thou by them mightest war <4754> a good <2570> warfare <4752>; 19 Holding <2192> faith <4102>, and a good <0018> conscience <4893>; which <3739> some <5100> having put <0683> away <0683> concerning <4012> faith <4102> have made <3489> shipwreck <3489>: 20 Of whom <3739> is Hymenaeus <5211> and Alexander <0223>; whom <3739> I have delivered <3860> unto Satan <4567>, that they may learn <3811> not to blaspheme <0987>. 1Timothy 2 1. I exhort <3870> therefore <3767>, that, first <4412> of all <3956>, supplications <1162>, prayers <4335>, intercessions <1783>, [and] giving of thanks <2169>, be made <4160> for all <3956> men <0444>; 2 For kings <0935>, and [for] all <3956> that are in authority <5247>; that we may lead <1236> a quiet <2263> and peaceable <2272> life <0979> in all <3956> godliness <2150> and honesty <4587>. 3 For this <5124> [is] good <2570> and acceptable <0587> in the sight <1799> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>; 4 Who <3739> will <2309> have all <3956> men <0444> to be saved <4982>, and to come <2064> unto the knowledge <1922> of the truth <0225>. 5 For [there is] one <1520> God <2316>, and one <1520> mediator <3316> between God <2316> and men <0444>, the man <0444> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>; 6 Who <3588> gave <1325> himself <1438> a ransom <0487> for all <3956>, to be testified <3142> in due <2398> time <2540>. 7 Whereunto <3739> I am ordained <5087> a preacher <2783>, and an apostle <0652>, (I speak <3004> the truth <0225> in Christ <5547>, [and] lie <5574> not;) a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles <1484> in faith <4102> and verity <0225>. 8 I will <1014> therefore <3767> that men <0435> pray <4336> every <3956> where <5117>, lifting <1869> up holy <3741> hands <5495>, without <5565> wrath <3709> and doubting <1261>. 9. In like <5615> manner also <2532>, that women <1135> adorn <2885> themselves <1438> in modest <2887> apparel <2689>, with shamefacedness <0127> and sobriety <4997>; not with broided <4117> hair <4117>, or <2228> gold <5557>, or <2228> pearls <3135>, or <2228> costly <4185> array <2441>; 10 But (which <3739> becometh <4241> women <1135> professing <1861> godliness <2317>) with good <0018> works <2041>. 11 Let the woman <1135> learn <3129> in silence <2271> with all <3956> subjection <5292>. 12 But I suffer <2010> not a woman <1135> to teach <1321>, nor <3761> to usurp <0831> authority <0831> over the man <0435>, but to be in silence <2271>. 13 For Adam <0076> was first <4413> formed <4111>, then <1534> Eve <2096>. 14 And Adam <0076> was not deceived <0538>, but the woman <1135> being deceived <0538> was in the transgression <3847>. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved <4982> in childbearing <5042>, if <1437> they continue <3306> in faith <4102> and charity <0026> and holiness <0038> with sobriety <4997>. 1Timothy 3 1. This <3588> [is] a true <4103> saying <3056>, If <1487> a man <5100> desire <3713> the office <1984> of a bishop <1984>, he desireth <1937> a good <2570> work <2041>. 2 A bishop <1985> then <3767> must <1163> be blameless <0423>, the husband <0435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, vigilant <3524>, sober <4998>, of good behaviour <2887>, given to hospitality <5382>, apt <1317> to teach <1317>; 3 Not given <3943> to wine <3943>, no <3361> striker <4131>, not greedy <0146> of filthy lucre <0146>; but patient <1933>, not a brawler <0269>, not covetous <0866>; 4 One that ruleth <4291> well <2573> his own <2398> house <3624>, having <2192> his children <5043> in subjection <5292> with all <3956> gravity <4587>; 5 (For if <1487> a man <5100> know <1492> not how to rule <4291> his own <2398> house <3624>, how <4459> shall he take care <1959> of the church <1577> of God <2316>?) 6 Not a novice <3504>, lest <3361> being lifted <5187> up with pride <5187> he fall <1706> into <1519> the condemnation <2917> of the devil <1228>. 7 Moreover <1161> he must <1163> have <2192> a good <2570> report <3141> of them which are without <1855>; lest <3361> he fall <1706> into <1519> reproach <3680> and the snare <3803> of the devil <1228>. 8. Likewise <5615> [must] the deacons <1249> [be] grave <4586>, not doubletongued <1351>, not given <4337> to much <4183> wine <3631>, not greedy <0146> of filthy lucre <0146>; 9 Holding <2192> the mystery <3466> of the faith <4102> in a pure <2513> conscience <4893>. 10 And let these <3778> also <2532> first <4412> be proved <1381>; then <1534> let them use the office <1247> of a deacon <1247>, being <5607> [found] blameless <0410>. 11 Even <5615> so <5615> [must their] wives <1135> [be] grave <4586>, not slanderers <1228>, sober <3524>, faithful <4103> in all <3956> things. 12 Let the deacons <1249> be the husbands <0435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, ruling <4291> their children <5043> and their own <2398> houses <3624> well <2573>. 13 For they that have used <1247> the office <1247> of a deacon <1247> well <2573> purchase <4046> to themselves <1438> a good <2570> degree <0898>, and great <4183> boldness <3954> in the faith <4102> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 14. These <5023> things write <1125> I unto thee, hoping <1679> to come <2064> unto thee shortly <5032>: 15 But if <1437> I tarry <1019> long, that thou mayest know <1492> how <4459> thou oughtest <1163> to behave <0390> thyself in the house <3624> of God <2316>, which <3748> is the church <1577> of the living <2198> God <2316>, the pillar <4769> and ground <1477> of the truth <0225>. 16 And without <3672> controversy <3672> great <3173> is the mystery <3466> of godliness <2150>: God <2316> was manifest <5319> in the flesh <4561>, justified <1344> in the Spirit <4151>, seen <3700> of angels <0032>, preached <2784> unto the Gentiles <1484>, believed <4100> on in the world <2889>, received <0353> up into <1722> glory <1391>. 1Timothy 4 1. Now <1161> the Spirit <4151> speaketh <3004> expressly <4490>, that in the latter <5306> times <2540> some <5100> shall depart <0868> from the faith <4102>, giving heed <4337> to seducing <4108> spirits <4151>, and doctrines <1319> of devils <1140>; 2 Speaking <5573> lies <5573> in hypocrisy <5272>; having their conscience <4893> seared <2743> with a hot <2743> iron; 3 Forbidding <2967> to marry <1060>, [and commanding] to abstain <0567> from meats <1033>, which <3739> God <2316> hath created <2936> to be received <3336> with thanksgiving <2169> of them which believe <4103> and know <1921> the truth <0225>. 4 For every <3956> creature <2938> of God <2316> [is] good <2570>, and nothing <3762> to be refused <0579>, if it be received <2983> with thanksgiving <2169>: 5 For it is sanctified <0037> by the word <3056> of God <2316> and prayer <1783>. 6. If thou put <5294> the brethren <0080> in remembrance <5294> of these <5023> things, thou shalt be a good <2570> minister <1249> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, nourished <1789> up in the words <3056> of faith <4102> and of good <2570> doctrine <1319>, whereunto <3739> thou hast attained <3877>. 7 But refuse <3868> profane <0952> and old <1126> wives <1126>' fables <3454>, and exercise <1128> thyself <4572> [rather] unto godliness <2150>. 8 For bodily <4984> exercise <1129> profiteth <5624> little <3641>: but godliness <2150> is profitable <5624> unto all <3956> things, having <2192> promise <1860> of the life <2222> that now <3568> is, and of that which is to come <3195>. 9 This <3588> [is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056> and worthy <0514> of all <3956> acceptation <0594>. 10 For therefore <5124> we both <2532> labour <2872> and suffer reproach <3679>, because <3754> we trust <1679> in the living <2198> God <2316>, who <3739> is the Saviour <4990> of all <3956> men <0444>, specially <3122> of those that believe <4103>. 11 These <5023> things command <3853> and teach <1321>. 12 Let no <3367> man <3367> despise <2706> thy youth <3503>; but be thou an example <5179> of the believers <4103>, in word <3056>, in conversation <0391>, in charity <0026>, in spirit <4151>, in faith <4102>, in purity <0047>. 13 Till <2193> I come <2064>, give attendance <4337> to reading <0320>, to exhortation <3874>, to doctrine <1319>. 14 Neglect <0272> not the gift <5486> that is in thee, which <3739> was given <1325> thee by prophecy <4394>, with the laying <1936> on <1936> of the hands <5495> of the presbytery <4244>. 15 Meditate <3191> upon these <5023> things; give <2468> thyself wholly <1722> to them; that thy profiting <4297> may appear <5318> to all <3956>. 16 Take heed <1907> unto thyself <4572>, and unto the doctrine <1319>; continue <1961> in them: for in doing <4160> this <5124> thou shalt both <2532> save <4982> thyself <4572>, and them that hear <0191> thee. 1Timothy 5 1. Rebuke <1969> not an elder <4245>, but intreat <3870> [him] as a father <3962>; [and] the younger <3501> men as brethren <0080>; 2 The elder <4245> women as mothers <3384>; the younger <3501> as sisters <0079>, with all <3956> purity <0047>. 3. Honour <5091> widows <5503> that are widows <5503> indeed <3689>. 4 But if <1487> any <5100> widow <5503> have <2192> children <5043> or <2228> nephews <1549>, let them learn <3129> first <4412> to shew <2151> piety <2151> at home <2398>, and to requite <0287> their parents <4269>: for that is good <2570> and acceptable <0587> before <1799> God <2316>. 5 Now <1161> she that is a widow <5503> indeed <3689>, and desolate <3443>, trusteth <1679> in God <2316>, and continueth <4357> in supplications <1162> and prayers <4335> night <3571> and day <2250>. 6 But she that liveth <2198> in pleasure <4684> is dead <2348> while she liveth <2198>. 7 And these <5023> things give in charge <3853>, that they may be blameless <0423>. 8 But if <1487> any <5100> provide <4306> not for his own <2398>, and specially <3122> for those <3588> of his own <2398> house <3609>, he hath denied <0720> the faith <4102>, and is worse <5501> than an infidel <0571>. 9 Let not a widow <5503> be taken <2639> into the number <2639> under <1640> threescore <1835> years <2094> old, having been <1096> the wife <1135> of one <1520> man <0435>, 10 Well <3140> reported <3140> of for good <2570> works <2041>; if <1487> she have brought <5044> up children <5044>, if <1487> she have lodged <3580> strangers <3580>, if <1487> she have washed <3538> the saints <0040>' feet <4228>, if <1487> she have relieved <1884> the afflicted <2346>, if <1487> she have diligently followed <1872> every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>. 11 But the younger <3501> widows <5503> refuse <3868>: for when <3752> they have begun <2691> to wax <2691> wanton <2691> against <2691> Christ <5547>, they will <2309> marry <1060>; 12 Having <2192> damnation <2917>, because <3754> they have cast <0114> off <0114> their first <4413> faith <4102>. 13 And withal <0260> they learn <3129> [to be] idle <0692>, wandering <4022> about <4022> from house <3614> to house <3614>; and not only <3440> idle <0692>, but tattlers <5397> also <2532> and busybodies <4021>, speaking <2980> things which <3588> they ought <1163> not. 14 I will <1014> therefore <3767> that the younger <3501> women marry <1060>, bear <5041> children <5041>, guide <3616> the house <3616>, give <1325> none <3361> occasion <0874> to the adversary <0480> to speak reproachfully <3059> <5484>. 15 For some <5100> are already <2235> turned <1824> aside <1824> after <3694> Satan <4567>. 16 If <1487> any <1536> man or <2228> woman that believeth <4103> have <2192> widows <5503>, let them relieve <1884> them, and let not the church <1577> be charged <0916>; that it may relieve <1884> them that are widows <5503> indeed <3689>. 17. Let the elders <4245> that rule <4291> well <2573> be counted <0515> worthy <0515> of double <1362> honour <5092>, especially <3122> they who labour <2872> in the word <3056> and doctrine <1319>. 18 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004>, Thou shalt not muzzle <5392> the ox <1016> that treadeth <0248> out the corn. And, The labourer <2040> [is] worthy <0514> of his reward <3408>. 19 Against <2596> an elder <4245> receive <3858> not an accusation <2724>, but before <1909> two <1417> or <2228> three <5140> witnesses <3144>. 20 Them that sin <0264> rebuke <1651> before <1799> all <3956>, that others <3062> also <2532> may <2192> fear <5401>. 21 I charge <1263> [thee] before <1799> God <2316>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and the elect <1588> angels <0032>, that thou observe <5442> these <5023> things without <5565> preferring <4299> one before <4299> another <4299>, doing <4160> nothing <3367> by partiality <4346>. 22 Lay <2007> hands <5495> suddenly <5030> on <2007> no <3367> man <3367>, neither <3366> be partaker <2841> of other <0245> men's sins <0266>: keep <5083> thyself <4572> pure <0053>. 23 Drink <5202> no <3371> longer <3371> water <5202>, but use <5530> a little <3641> wine <3631> for thy stomach's <4751> sake and thine <4675> often <4437> infirmities <0769>. 24 Some <5100> men's sins <0266> are open <4271> beforehand <4271>, going <4254> before <4254> to judgment <2920>; and some <5100> [men] they follow <1872> after <1872>. 25 Likewise <5615> also <2532> the good <2570> works <2041> [of some] are manifest <4271> beforehand <4271>; and they that are otherwise <0247> cannot <1410> be hid <2928>. 1Timothy 6 1. Let as many <3745> servants <1401> as are under <5259> the yoke <2218> count <2233> their own <2398> masters <1203> worthy <0514> of all <3956> honour <5092>, that the name <3686> of God <2316> and [his] doctrine <1319> be not blasphemed <0987>. 2 And they that have <2192> believing <4103> masters <1203>, let them not despise <2706> [them], because <3754> they are brethren <0080>; but rather <3123> do <1398> [them] service <1398>, because <3754> they are faithful <4103> and beloved <0027>, partakers <0482> of the benefit <2108>. These <5023> things teach <1321> and exhort <3870>. 3 If <1487> any man <1536> teach otherwise <2085>, and consent <4334> not to wholesome <5198> words <3056>, [even] the words of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and to the doctrine <1319> which is according <2596> to godliness <2150>; 4 He is proud <5187>, knowing <1987> nothing <3367>, but doting <3552> about <4012> questions <2214> and strifes <3055> of words <3055>, whereof <3739> cometh <1096> envy <5355>, strife <2054>, railings <0988>, evil <4190> surmisings <5283>, 5 Perverse <3859> disputings <3859> of men <0444> of corrupt <1311> minds <3563>, and destitute <0650> of the truth <0225>, supposing <3543> that gain <4200> is godliness <2150>: from such <5108> withdraw <0868> thyself. 6. But godliness <2150> with contentment <0841> is great <3173> gain <4200>. 7 For we brought <1533> nothing <3762> into <1519> [this] world <2889>, [and it is] certain <1212> we can <1410> carry <1627> nothing <5100> out. 8 And having <2192> food <1305> and raiment <4629> let us be therewith <5125> content <0714>. 9 But they that will <1014> be rich <4147> fall <1706> into <1519> temptation <3986> and a snare <3803>, and [into] many <4183> foolish <0453> and hurtful <0983> lusts <1939>, which <3748> drown <1036> men <0444> in destruction <3639> and perdition <0684>. 10 For the love <5365> of money <5365> is the root <4491> of all <3956> evil <2556>: which <3739> while some <5100> coveted <3713> after, they have erred <0635> from the faith <4102>, and pierced <4044> themselves <1438> through <4044> with many <4183> sorrows <3601>. 11 But thou, O man <0444> of God <2316>, flee <5343> these <5023> things; and follow <1377> after righteousness <1343>, godliness <2150>, faith <4102>, love <0026>, patience <5281>, meekness <4236>. 12 Fight <0075> the good <2570> fight <0073> of faith <4102>, lay <1949> hold <1949> on <1949> eternal <0166> life <2222>, whereunto <3739> thou art also <2532> called <2564>, and hast professed <3670> a good <2570> profession <3671> before <1799> many <4183> witnesses <3144>. 13. I give thee charge <3853> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>, who <3588> quickeneth <2227> all <3956> things, and [before] Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> before <1909> Pontius <4194> Pilate <4091> witnessed <3140> a good <2570> confession <3671>; 14 That thou keep <5083> [this] commandment <1785> without <0784> spot <0784>, unrebukeable <0423>, until <3360> the appearing <2015> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>: 15 Which <3739> in his times <2540> he shall shew <1166>, [who is] the blessed <3107> and only <3441> Potentate <1413>, the King <0935> of kings <0936>, and Lord <2962> of lords <2961>; 16 Who <3588> only <3441> hath <2192> immortality <0110>, dwelling <3611> in the light <5457> which <3739> no <3762> man can approach <0676> unto; whom <3739> no <3762> man <0444> hath seen <1492>, nor <3761> can <1410> see <1492>: to whom <3739> [be] honour <5092> and power <2904> everlasting <0166>. Amen <0281>. 17 Charge <3853> them that are rich <4145> in this <3568> world <0165>, that they be not highminded <5309>, nor <3366> trust <1679> in uncertain <0083> riches <4149>, but in the living <2198> God <2316>, who <3588> giveth <3930> us richly <4146> all <3956> things to enjoy <0619>; 18 That they do <0014> good <0014>, that they be rich <4147> in good <2570> works <2041>, ready <2130> to distribute <2130>, willing <2843> to communicate <2843>; 19 Laying <0597> up in store <0597> for themselves <1438> a good <2570> foundation <2310> against <1519> the time <3195> to come <3195>, that they may lay <1949> hold <1949> on <1949> eternal <0166> life <2222>. 20 O Timothy <5095>, keep <5442> that which is committed <3872> to thy trust, avoiding <1624> profane <0952> [and] vain <2757> babblings <2757>, and oppositions <0477> of science <1108> falsely <5581> so called <5581>: 21 Which <3739> some <5100> professing <1861> have erred <0795> concerning <4012> the faith <4102>. Grace <5485> [be] with thee. Amen <0281>. 2Timothy 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, according <2596> to the promise <1860> of life <2222> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, 2 To Timothy <5095>, [my] dearly beloved <0027> son <5043>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, [and] peace <1515>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>. 3 I thank <5485> God <2316>, whom <3739> I serve <3000> from [my] forefathers <4269> with pure <2513> conscience <4893>, that without <0088> ceasing <0088> I have <2192> remembrance <3417> of thee in my prayers <1162> night <3571> and day <2250>; 4 Greatly <1971> desiring <1971> to see <1492> thee, being mindful <5280> of thy tears <1144>, that I may be filled <4137> with joy <5479>; 5 When I call <2983> to remembrance <5280> the unfeigned <0505> faith <4102> that is in thee, which <3748> dwelt <1774> first <4412> in thy grandmother <3125> Lois <3090>, and thy mother <3384> Eunice <2131>; and I am persuaded <3982> that in thee also <2532>. 6. Wherefore <3739> <0156> I put <0363> thee in remembrance <0363> that thou stir <0329> up the gift <5486> of God <2316>, which <3739> is in thee by the putting <1936> on <1936> of my hands <5495>. 7 For God <2316> hath not given <1325> us the spirit <4151> of fear <1167>; but of power <1411>, and of love <0026>, and of a sound <4995> mind <4995>. 8 Be not thou therefore <3767> ashamed <1870> of the testimony <3142> of our Lord <2962>, nor <3366> of me his prisoner <1198>: but be thou partaker <4777> of the afflictions <4777> of the gospel <2098> according <2596> to the power <1411> of God <2316>; 9 Who <3588> hath saved <4982> us, and called <2564> [us] with an holy <0040> calling <2821>, not according <2596> to our works <2041>, but according <2596> to his own <2398> purpose <4286> and grace <5485>, which <3588> was given <1325> us in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> before <4253> the world <0166> began, 10 But is now <3568> made <5319> manifest <5319> by the appearing <2015> of our Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who hath abolished <2673> death <2288>, and hath brought <5461> life <2222> and immortality <0861> to light <5461> through <1223> the gospel <2098>: 11 Whereunto <3739> I am appointed <5087> a preacher <2783>, and an apostle <0652>, and a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles <1484>. 12 For the which <3739> cause <0156> I also <2532> suffer <3958> these <5023> things: nevertheless <0235> I am not ashamed <1870>: for I know <1492> whom <3739> I have believed <4100>, and am persuaded <3982> that he is able <1415> to keep <5442> that which I have committed <3866> unto him against <1519> that day <2250>. 13 Hold <2192> fast the form <5296> of sound <5198> words <3056>, which <3739> thou hast heard <0191> of me, in faith <4102> and love <0026> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 14 That good <2570> thing which was committed <3872> unto thee keep <5442> by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> which <3588> dwelleth <1774> in us. 15. This <5124> thou knowest <1492>, that all <3956> they which are in Asia <0773> be turned <0654> away <0654> from me; of whom <3739> are Phygellus <5436> and Hermogenes <2061>. 16 The Lord <2962> give <1325> mercy <1656> unto the house <3624> of Onesiphorus <3683>; for he oft <4178> refreshed <0404> me, and was not ashamed <1870> of my chain <0254>: 17 But, when he was in Rome <4516>, he sought <2212> me out very <4708> diligently <4706>, and found <2147> [me]. 18 The Lord <2962> grant <1325> unto him that he may find <2147> mercy <1656> of the Lord <2962> in that day <2250>: and in how <3745> many <3745> things he ministered <1247> unto me at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, thou knowest <1097> very <0957> well <0957>. 2Timothy 2 1. Thou therefore <3767>, my son <5043>, be strong <1743> in the grace <5485> that is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 2 And the things that thou hast heard <0191> of me among <1223> many <4183> witnesses <3144>, the same <5023> commit <3908> thou to faithful <4103> men <0444>, who <3748> shall be able <2425> to teach <1321> others <2087> also <2532>. 3 Thou therefore <3767> endure <2553> hardness <2553>, as a good <2570> soldier <4757> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 4 No <3762> man <3762> that warreth <4754> entangleth <1707> himself with the affairs <4230> of [this] life <0979>; that he may please <0700> him who hath chosen <4758> him to be a soldier <4758>. 5 And if <1437> a man <5100> also <2532> strive <0118> for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned <4737>, except <3362> he strive <0118> lawfully <3545>. 6 The husbandman <1092> that laboureth <2872> must <1163> be first <4413> partaker <3335> of the fruits <2590>. 7 Consider <3539> what <3739> I say <3004>; and the Lord <2962> give <1325> thee understanding <4907> in all <3956> things. 8. Remember <3421> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of the seed <4690> of David <1138> was raised <1453> from the dead <3498> according <2596> to my gospel <2098>: 9 Wherein <1722> <3739> I suffer <2553> trouble <2553>, as an evil <2557> doer <2557>, [even] unto <3360> bonds <1199>; but the word <3056> of God <2316> is not bound <1210>. 10 Therefore I endure <5278> all <3956> things for the elect's <1588> sakes, that they may also <2532> obtain <5177> the salvation <4991> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> with eternal <0166> glory <1391>. 11 [It is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>: For if <1487> we be dead <4880> with [him], we shall also <2532> live <4800> with [him]: 12 If <1487> we suffer <5278>, we shall also <2532> reign <4821> with [him]: if <1487> we deny <0720> [him], he also <2548> will deny <0720> us: 13 If <1487> we believe <0569> not, [yet] he abideth <3306> faithful <4103>: he cannot <1410> deny <0720> himself <1438>. 14. Of these <5023> things put <5279> [them] in remembrance <5279>, charging <1263> [them] before <1799> the Lord <2962> that they strive <3054> not about words <3054> to no <3762> profit <5539>, [but] to the subverting <2692> of the hearers <0191>. 15 Study <4704> to shew <3936> thyself <4572> approved <1384> unto God <2316>, a workman <2040> that needeth <0422> not to be ashamed <0422>, rightly dividing <3718> the word <3056> of truth <0225>. 16 But shun <4026> profane <0952> [and] vain <2757> babblings <2757>: for they will increase <4298> unto more <4119> ungodliness <0763>. 17 And their word <3056> will eat <2192> as doth a canker <1044>: of whom <3739> is Hymenaeus <5211> and Philetus <5372>; 18 Who <3748> concerning <4012> the truth <0225> have erred <0795>, saying <3004> that the resurrection <0386> is past <1096> already <2235>; and overthrow <0396> the faith <4102> of some <5100>. 19. Nevertheless <3305> the foundation <2310> of God <2316> standeth <2476> sure <4731>, having <2192> this <5026> seal <4973>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097> them that are his. And, Let every <3956> one that nameth <3687> the name <3686> of Christ <5547> depart <0868> from iniquity <0093>. 20 But in a great <3173> house <3614> there are not only <3440> vessels <4632> of gold <5552> and of silver <0693>, but also <2532> of wood <3585> and of earth <3749>; and some <3588> to honour <5092>, and some <3588> to dishonour <0819>. 21 If <1437> a man <5100> therefore <3767> purge <1571> himself <1438> from these <5130>, he shall be a vessel <4632> unto honour <5092>, sanctified <0037>, and meet <2173> for the master's <1203> use, [and] prepared <2090> unto every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>. 22. Flee <5343> also <1161> youthful <3512> lusts <1939>: but follow <1377> righteousness <1343>, faith <4102>, charity <0026>, peace <1515>, with them that call <1941> on <1941> the Lord <2962> out of a pure <2513> heart <2588>. 23 But foolish <3474> and unlearned <0521> questions <2214> avoid <3868>, knowing <1492> that they do gender <1080> strifes <3163>. 24 And the servant <1401> of the Lord <2962> must <1163> not strive <3164>; but be gentle <2261> unto all <3956> [men], apt <1317> to teach <1317>, patient <0420>, 25 In meekness <4236> instructing <3811> those <3588> that oppose <0475> themselves; if <3379> God <2316> peradventure <3379> will give <1325> them repentance <3341> to the acknowledging <1922> of the truth <0225>; 26 And [that] they may recover <0366> themselves out of the snare <3803> of the devil <1228>, who are taken <2221> captive <2221> by him at <1519> his will <2307>. 2Timothy 3 1. This <5124> know <1097> also <1161>, that in the last <2078> days <2250> perilous <5467> times <2540> shall come <1764>. 2 For men <0444> shall be lovers <5367> of their own selves <5367>, covetous <5366>, boasters <0213>, proud <5244>, blasphemers <0989>, disobedient <0545> to parents <1118>, unthankful <0884>, unholy <0462>, 3 Without <0794> natural affection <0794>, trucebreakers <0786>, false <1228> accusers <1228>, incontinent <0193>, fierce <0434>, despisers <0865> of those that are good <0865>, 4 Traitors <4273>, heady <4312>, highminded <5187>, lovers <5369> of pleasures <5369> more <3123> than <2228> lovers <5377> of God <5377>; 5 Having <2192> a form <3446> of godliness <2150>, but denying <0720> the power <1411> thereof <0846>: from such <5128> turn <0665> away <0665>. 6 For of this <5130> sort are they which creep <1744> into <1519> houses <3614>, and lead <0162> captive <0162> silly <1133> women <1133> laden <4987> with sins <0266>, led <0071> away with divers <4164> lusts <1939>, 7 Ever <3842> learning <3129>, and never <3368> able <1410> to come <2064> to the knowledge <1922> of the truth <0225>. 8 Now <1161> as <5158> Jannes <2389> and Jambres <2387> withstood <0436> Moses <3475>, so <3779> do these <3778> also <2532> resist <0436> the truth <0225>: men <0444> of corrupt <2704> minds <3563>, reprobate <0096> concerning <4012> the faith <4102>. 9 But they shall proceed <4298> no <3756> further <4119>: for their folly <0454> shall be manifest <1552> unto all <3956> [men], as theirs <1565> also <2532> was. 10. But thou hast fully <3877> known <3877> my doctrine <1319>, manner <0072> of life <0072>, purpose <4286>, faith <4102>, longsuffering <3115>, charity <0026>, patience <5281>, 11 Persecutions <1375>, afflictions <3804>, which <3634> came <1096> unto me at <1722> Antioch <0490>, at <1722> Iconium <2430>, at <1722> Lystra <3082>; what <3634> persecutions <1375> I endured <5297>: but out of [them] all <3956> the Lord <2962> delivered <4506> me. 12 Yea <1161>, and all <3956> that will <2309> live <2198> godly <2153> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> shall suffer <1377> persecution <1377>. 13 But evil <4190> men <0444> and seducers <1114> shall wax <4298> worse <5501> and worse <5501>, deceiving <4105>, and being deceived <4105>. 14 But continue <3306> thou in the things which <3739> thou hast learned <3129> and hast been assured <4104> of, knowing <1492> of whom <5101> thou hast learned <3129> [them]; 15 And that from a child <1025> thou hast known <1492> the holy <2413> scriptures <1121>, which <3588> are able <1410> to make <4679> thee wise <4679> unto salvation <4991> through <1223> faith <4102> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 16 All <3956> scripture <1124> [is] given by inspiration <2315> of God <2315>, and [is] profitable <5624> for doctrine <1319>, for reproof <1650>, for correction <1882>, for instruction <3809> in righteousness <1343>: 17 That the man <0444> of God <2316> may be perfect <0739>, throughly <1822> furnished <1822> unto all <3956> good <0018> works <2041>. 2Timothy 4 1. I charge <1263> [thee] therefore <3767> before <1799> God <2316>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who <3588> shall judge <2919> the quick <2198> and the dead <3498> at <2596> his appearing <2015> and his kingdom <0932>; 2 Preach <2784> the word <3056>; be instant <2186> in season <2122>, out of season <0171>; reprove <1651>, rebuke <2008>, exhort <3870> with all <3956> longsuffering <3115> and doctrine <1322>. 3 For the time <2540> will come <1511> when <3753> they will not endure <0430> sound <5198> doctrine <1319>; but after <2596> their own <2398> lusts <1939> shall they heap <2002> to themselves <1438> teachers <1320>, having itching <2833> ears <0189>; 4 And they shall turn <0654> away <0654> [their] ears <0189> from the truth <0225>, and shall be turned <1624> unto fables <3454>. 5 But watch <3525> thou in all <3956> things, endure <2553> afflictions <2553>, do <4160> the work <2041> of an evangelist <2099>, make <4135> full <4135> proof <4135> of thy ministry <1248>. 6 For I am now <2235> ready <4689> to be offered <4689>, and the time <2540> of my departure <0359> is at <2186> hand <2186>. 7 I have fought <0075> a good <2570> fight <0073>, I have finished <5055> [my] course <1408>, I have kept <5083> the faith <4102>: 8 Henceforth <3063> there is laid <0606> up for me a crown <4735> of righteousness <1343>, which <3739> the Lord <2962>, the righteous <1342> judge <2923>, shall give <0591> me at <1722> that day <2250>: and not to me only <3440>, but unto all <3956> them also <2532> that love <0025> his appearing <2015>. 9. Do <4704> thy diligence <4704> to come <2064> shortly <5030> unto me: 10 For Demas <1214> hath forsaken <1459> me, having loved <0025> this <3588> present <3568> world <0165>, and is departed <4198> unto Thessalonica <2332>; Crescens <2913> to Galatia <1053>, Titus <5103> unto Dalmatia <1149>. 11 Only <3441> Luke <3065> is with me. Take <0353> Mark <3138>, and bring <0071> him with thee <4572>: for he is profitable <2173> to me for the ministry <1248>. 12 And Tychicus <5190> have I sent <0649> to Ephesus <2181>. 13 The cloke <5341> that I left <0620> at <1722> Troas <5174> with Carpus <2591>, when thou comest <2064>, bring <5342> [with thee], and the books <0975>, [but] especially <3122> the parchments <3200>. 14 Alexander <0223> the coppersmith <5471> did <1731> me much <4183> evil <2556>: the Lord <2962> reward <0591> him according <2596> to his works <2041>: 15 Of whom <3739> be thou ware <5442> also <2532>; for he hath greatly <3029> withstood <0436> our <2251> words <3056>. 16. At <1722> my first <4413> answer <0627> no <3762> man <3762> stood <4836> with me, but all <3956> [men] forsook <1459> me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid <3049> to their charge <3049>. 17 Notwithstanding the Lord <2962> stood <3936> with me, and strengthened <1743> me; that by me the preaching <2782> might be fully <4135> known <4135>, and [that] all <3956> the Gentiles <1484> might hear <0191>: and I was delivered <4506> out of the mouth <4750> of the lion <3023>. 18 And the Lord <2962> shall deliver <4506> me from every <3956> evil <4190> work <2041>, and will preserve <4982> [me] unto his heavenly <2032> kingdom <0932>: to whom <3739> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 19 Salute <0782> Prisca <4251> and Aquila <0207>, and the household <3624> of Onesiphorus <3683>. 20 Erastus <2037> abode <3306> at <1722> Corinth <2882>: but Trophimus <5161> have I left <0620> at <1722> Miletum <3399> sick <0770>. 21 Do <4704> thy diligence <4704> to come <2064> before <4253> winter <5494>. Eubulus <2103> greeteth <0782> thee, and Pudens <4227>, and Linus <3044>, and Claudia <2803>, and all <3956> the brethren <0080>. 22 The Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with thy spirit <4151>. Grace <5485> [be] with you. Amen <0281>. Titus 1 1. Paul <3972>, a servant <1401> of God <2316>, and an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, according <2596> to the faith <4102> of God's <2316> elect <1588>, and the acknowledging <1922> of the truth <0225> which <3588> is after <2596> godliness <2150>; 2 In hope <1680> of eternal <0166> life <2222>, which <3739> God <2316>, that cannot <0893> lie <0893>, promised <1861> before <4253> the world <0166> began; 3 But hath in due <2398> times <2540> manifested <5319> his word <3056> through <1722> preaching <2782>, which <3739> is committed <4100> unto me according <2596> to the commandment <2003> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>; 4 To Titus <5103>, [mine] own <1103> son <5043> after <2596> the common <2839> faith <4102>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, [and] peace <1515>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Saviour <4990>. 5. For this <5127> cause <5484> left <2641> I thee in Crete <2914>, that thou shouldest set <1930> in order <1930> the things that are wanting <3007>, and ordain <2525> elders <4245> in every <2596> city <4172>, as I had appointed <1299> thee: 6. If <1487> any <1536> be blameless <0410>, the husband <0435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, having <2192> faithful <4103> children <5043> not accused <1722> <2724> of riot <0810> or <2228> unruly <0506>. 7 For a bishop <1985> must <1163> be blameless <0410>, as the steward <3623> of God <2316>; not selfwilled <0829>, not soon <3711> angry <3711>, not given <3943> to wine <3943>, no <3361> striker <4131>, not given to filthy <0146> lucre <0146>; 8 But a lover <5382> of hospitality <5382>, a lover <5358> of good <5358> men, sober <4998>, just <1342>, holy <3741>, temperate <1468>; 9 Holding <0472> fast <0472> the faithful <4103> word <3056> as he hath been taught <1322>, that he may be able <1415> by sound <5198> doctrine <1319> both <2532> to exhort <3870> and to convince <1651> the gainsayers <0483>. 10 For there are many <4183> unruly <0506> and vain <3151> talkers <3151> and deceivers <5423>, specially <3122> they of the circumcision <4061>: 11 Whose <3739> mouths <1993> must <1163> be stopped <1993>, who <3748> subvert <0396> whole <3650> houses <3624>, teaching <1321> things which <3739> they ought <1163> not, for filthy <0150> lucre's <2771> sake. 12 One <5100> of themselves <0846>, [even] a prophet <4396> of their own <2398>, said <2036>, The Cretians <2912> [are] alway <0104> liars <5583>, evil <2556> beasts <2342>, slow <0692> bellies <1064>. 13 This <3778> witness <3141> is true <0227>. Wherefore <3739> <0156> rebuke <1651> them sharply <0664>, that they may be sound <5198> in the faith <4102>; 14 Not giving heed <4337> to Jewish <2451> fables <3454>, and commandments <1785> of men <0444>, that turn <0654> from the truth <0225>. 15 Unto the pure <2513> all <3956> things [are] pure <2513>: but unto them that are defiled <3392> and unbelieving <0571> [is] nothing <3762> pure <2513>; but even <2532> their mind <3563> and conscience <4893> is defiled <3392>. 16 They profess <3670> that they know <1492> God <2316>; but in works <2041> they deny <0720> [him], being <5607> abominable <0947>, and disobedient <0545>, and unto every <3956> good <0018> work <2041> reprobate <0096>. Titus 2 1. But speak <2980> thou the things which <3739> become <4241> sound <5198> doctrine <1319>: 2 That the aged <4246> men be sober <3524>, grave <4586>, temperate <4998>, sound <5198> in faith <4102>, in charity <0026>, in patience <5281>. 3 The aged <4247> women <4247> likewise <5615>, that [they be] in behaviour <2688> as becometh <2412> holiness <2412>, not false <1228> accusers <1228>, not given <1402> to much <4183> wine <3631>, teachers <2567> of good <2567> things; 4 That they may teach <4994> the young <3501> women to be sober <4994>, to love <5362> their husbands <5362>, to love <5388> their children <5388>, 5 [To be] discreet <4998>, chaste <0053>, keepers <3626> at <3626> home <3626>, good <0018>, obedient <5293> to their own <2398> husbands <0435>, that the word <3056> of God <2316> be not blasphemed <0987>. 6 Young <3501> men likewise <5615> exhort <3870> to be sober <4993> minded <4993>. 7 In all <3956> things shewing <3930> thyself <4572> a pattern <5179> of good <2570> works <2041>: in doctrine <1319> [shewing] uncorruptness <0090>, gravity <4587>, sincerity <0861>, 8 Sound <5199> speech <3056>, that cannot <0176> be condemned <0176>; that he that is of the contrary <1727> part may be ashamed <1788>, having <2192> no <3367> evil <5337> thing <3367> to say <3004> of you. 9 [Exhort] servants <1401> to be obedient <5293> unto their own <2398> masters <1203>, [and] to please <1511> [them] well <2101> in all <3956> [things]; not answering <0483> again <0483>; 10 Not purloining <3557>, but shewing <1731> all <3956> good <0018> fidelity <4102>; that they may adorn <2885> the doctrine <1319> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990> in all <3956> things. 11. For the grace <5485> of God <2316> that bringeth <4992> salvation <4992> hath appeared <2014> to all <3956> men <0444>, 12 Teaching <3811> us that, denying <0720> ungodliness <0763> and worldly <2886> lusts <1939>, we should live <2198> soberly <4996>, righteously <1346>, and godly <2153>, in this <3588> present <3568> world <0165>; 13 Looking <4327> for that blessed <3107> hope <1680>, and the glorious <1391> appearing <2015> of the great <3173> God <2316> and our Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; 14 Who <3739> gave <1325> himself <1438> for us, that he might redeem <3084> us from all <3956> iniquity <0458>, and purify <2511> unto himself <1438> a peculiar <4041> people <2992>, zealous <2207> of good <2570> works <2041>. 15. These <5023> things speak <2980>, and exhort <3870>, and rebuke <1651> with all <3956> authority <2003>. Let no <3367> man <3367> despise <4065> thee. Titus 3 1. Put <5279> them in mind <5279> to be subject <5293> to principalities <0746> and powers <1849>, to obey <3980> magistrates <3980>, to be ready <2092> to every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>, 2 To speak <0987> evil <0987> of no <3367> man <3367>, to be no <0269> brawlers <0269>, [but] gentle <1933>, shewing <1731> all <3956> meekness <4236> unto all <3956> men <0444>. 3 For we ourselves <2249> also <2532> were sometimes <4218> foolish <0453>, disobedient <0545>, deceived <4105>, serving <1398> divers <4164> lusts <1939> and pleasures <2237>, living <1236> in malice <2549> and envy <5355>, hateful <4767>, [and] hating <3404> one <0240> another <0240>. 4 But after <3753> that the kindness <5544> and love <5363> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990> toward <4314> man appeared <2014>, 5 Not by works <2041> of righteousness <1343> which <3739> we have done <4160>, but according <2596> to his mercy <1656> he saved <4982> us, by the washing <3067> of regeneration <3824>, and renewing <0342> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>; 6 Which <3739> he shed <1632> on <1909> us abundantly <4146> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Saviour <4990>; 7 That being justified <1344> by his grace <5485>, we should be made <1096> heirs <2818> according <2596> to the hope <1680> of eternal <0166> life <2222>. 8 [This is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>, and these <5130> things I will <1014> that thou affirm <1226> constantly <1226>, that they which have believed <4100> in God <2316> might be careful <5431> to maintain <4291> good <2570> works <2041>. These <5023> things are good <2570> and profitable <5624> unto men <0444>. 9. But avoid <4026> foolish <3474> questions <2214>, and genealogies <1076>, and contentions <2054>, and strivings <3163> about <3163> the law <3544>; for they are unprofitable <0512> and vain <3152>. 10 A man <0444> that is an heretick <0141> after <3326> the first <3391> and second <1208> admonition <3559> reject <3868>; 11 Knowing <1492> that he that is such <5108> is subverted <1612>, and sinneth <0264>, being <5607> condemned <0843> of himself <0843>. 12 When <3752> I shall send <3992> Artemas <0734> unto thee, or <2228> Tychicus <5190>, be diligent <4704> to come <2064> unto me to Nicopolis <3533>: for I have determined <2919> there <1563> to winter <3914>. 13 Bring <4311> Zenas <2211> the lawyer <3544> and Apollos <0625> on their journey <4311> diligently <4709>, that nothing <3367> be wanting <3007> unto them. 14 And let ours <2251> also <2532> learn <3129> to maintain <4291> good <2570> works <2041> for necessary <0316> uses <5532>, that they be not unfruitful <0175>. 15 All <3956> that are with me salute <0782> thee. Greet <0782> them that love <5368> us in the faith <4102>. Grace <5485> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>. Philemon 1 1. Paul <3972>, a prisoner <1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and Timothy <5095> [our] brother <0080>, unto Philemon <5371> our dearly beloved <0027>, and fellowlabourer <4904>, 2 And to [our] beloved <0027> Apphia <0682>, and Archippus <0751> our fellowsoldier <4961>, and to the church <1577> in thy house <3624>: 3 Grace <5485> to you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962> and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 4 I thank <2168> my God <2316>, making <4160> mention <3417> of thee always <3842> in my prayers <4335>, 5 Hearing <0191> of thy love <0026> and faith <4102>, which <3739> thou hast <2192> toward <4314> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and toward <1519> all <3956> saints <0040>; 6 That the communication <2842> of thy faith <4102> may become <1096> effectual <1756> by the acknowledging <1922> of every <3956> good <0018> thing which <3588> is in you in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 7 For we have <2192> great <4183> joy <5485> and consolation <3874> in thy love <0026>, because <3754> the bowels <4698> of the saints <0040> are refreshed <0373> by thee, brother <0080>. 8. Wherefore <1352>, though I might be much <4183> bold <3954> in Christ <5547> to enjoin <2004> thee that which is convenient <0433>, 9 Yet for love's <0026> sake I rather <3123> beseech <3870> [thee], being <5607> such <5108> an one as Paul <3972> the aged <4246>, and now <3570> also <2532> a prisoner <1198> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 10 I beseech <3870> thee for my son <5043> Onesimus <3682>, whom <3739> I have begotten <1080> in my bonds <1199>: 11 Which <3588> in time <4218> past was to thee unprofitable <0890>, but now <3570> profitable <2173> to thee and to me: 12 Whom <3739> I have sent <0375> again <0375>: thou therefore receive <4355> him, that is, mine <1699> own bowels <4698>: 13 Whom <3739> I would have retained <2722> with me, that in thy stead <5228> he might have ministered <1247> unto me in the bonds <1199> of the gospel <2098>: 14 But without <5565> thy mind <1106> would <2309> I do <4160> nothing <3762>; that thy benefit <0018> should not be as it were of necessity <0318>, but willingly <1595>. 15 For perhaps <5029> he therefore <5124> departed <5563> for a season <5610>, that thou shouldest receive <0568> him for ever <0166>; 16 Not now <3765> as a servant <1401>, but above <5228> a servant <1401>, a brother <0080> beloved <0027>, specially <3122> to me, but how <4214> much <4214> more <3123> unto thee, both <2532> in the flesh <4561>, and in the Lord <2962>? 17 If <1487> thou count <2192> me therefore <3767> a partner <2844>, receive <4355> him as myself <1691>. 18 If <1487> he hath wronged <0091> thee, or <2228> oweth <3784> [thee] ought <5100>, put <1677> that on <1677> mine <1699> account <1677>; 19 I Paul <3972> have written <1125> [it] with mine own hand <5495>, I will repay <0661> [it]: albeit <2443> I do not say <3004> to thee how <3754> thou owest <4359> unto me even <2532> thine <4572> own <4572> self <4572> besides <4359>. 20 Yea <3483>, brother <0080>, let me have joy <3685> of thee in the Lord <2962>: refresh <0373> my bowels <4698> in the Lord <2962>. 21 Having confidence <3982> in thy obedience <5218> I wrote <1125> unto thee, knowing <1492> that thou wilt also <2532> do <4160> more <5228> than <5228> I say <3004>. 22 But withal <0260> prepare <2090> me also <2532> a lodging <3578>: for I trust <1679> that through <1223> your <5216> prayers <4335> I shall be given <5483> unto you. 23 There salute <0782> thee Epaphras <1889>, my fellowprisoner <4869> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>; 24 Marcus <3138>, Aristarchus <0708>, Demas <1214>, Lucas <3065>, my fellowlabourers <4904>. 25 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with your <5216> spirit <4151>. Amen <0281>. Hebrews 1 1. God <2316>, who at sundry <4181> times and in divers <4187> manners <4187> spake <2980> in time <3819> past <3819> unto the fathers <3962> by the prophets <4396>, 2 Hath in these <5130> last <2078> days <2250> spoken <2980> unto us by [his] Son <5207>, whom <3739> he hath appointed <5087> heir <2818> of all <3956> things, by whom <3739> also <2532> he made <4160> the worlds <0165>; 3 Who being the brightness <0541> of [his] glory <1391>, and the express <5481> image <5481> of his person <5287>, and upholding <5342> all <3956> things by the word <4487> of his power <1411>, when he had by himself <1438> purged <2512> our sins <0266>, sat <2523> down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of the Majesty <3172> on <1722> high <5308>; 4. Being made <1096> so <5118> much <5118> better <2909> than the angels <0032>, as he hath by inheritance <2816> obtained <2816> a more excellent <1313> name <3686> than <3844> they. 5 For unto which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2036> he at <4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>, this <4594> day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee? And again <3825>, I will be to him a Father <3962>, and he shall be to me a Son <5207>? 6 And again <3825>, when <3752> he bringeth <1521> in the firstbegotten <4416> into <1519> the world <3625>, he saith <3004>, And let all <3956> the angels <0032> of God <2316> worship <4352> him. 7 And of the angels <0032> he saith <3004>, Who <3739> maketh <4160> his angels <0032> spirits <4151>, and his ministers <3011> a flame <5395> of fire <4442>. 8 But unto the Son <5207> [he saith], Thy throne <2362>, O God <2316>, [is] for ever <0165> and ever <0165>: a sceptre <4464> of righteousness <2118> [is] the sceptre <4464> of thy kingdom <0932>. 9 Thou hast loved <0025> righteousness <1343>, and hated <3404> iniquity <0458>; therefore <5124> God <2316>, [even] thy God <2316>, hath anointed <5548> thee with the oil <1637> of gladness <0020> above <3844> thy fellows <3353>. 10 And, Thou, Lord <2962>, in the beginning <0746> hast laid the foundation <2311> of the earth <1093>; and the heavens <3772> are the works <2041> of thine <4675> hands <5495>: 11 They shall perish <0622>; but thou remainest <1265>; and they all <3956> shall wax <3822> old <3822> as doth a garment <2440>; 12 And as a vesture <4018> shalt thou fold <1667> them up, and they shall be changed <0236>: but thou art <1488> the same <0846>, and thy years <2094> shall not fail <1587>. 13 But to which <5101> of the angels <0032> said <2046> he at <4218> any <4218> time <4218>, Sit <2521> on <1537> my right <1188> hand, until <2193> I make <5087> thine <4675> enemies <2190> thy footstool <4228> <5286>? 14 Are they not all <3956> ministering <3010> spirits <4151>, sent <0649> forth <0649> to minister <1248> for them who shall be heirs <2816> of salvation <4991>? Hebrews 2 1. Therefore <5124> we ought <1163> to give the more <4056> earnest <4056> heed <4337> to the things which we have heard <0191>, lest <3379> at <3379> any <3379> time <4218> we should let [them] slip <3901>. 2 For if <1487> the word <3056> spoken <2980> by angels <0032> was stedfast <0949>, and every <3956> transgression <3847> and disobedience <3876> received <2983> a just <1738> recompence <3405> of reward <3405>; 3 How <4459> shall we escape <1628>, if we neglect <0272> so <5082> great <5082> salvation <4991>; which <3748> at the first <0746> began <2983> to be spoken <2980> by the Lord <2962>, and was confirmed <0950> unto us by them that heard <0191> [him]; 4 God <2316> also <4901> bearing <4901> [them] witness <4901>, both <5037> with signs <4592> and wonders <5059>, and with divers <4164> miracles <1411>, and gifts <3311> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, according <2596> to his own will <2308>? 5. For unto the angels <0032> hath he not put <5293> in subjection <5293> the world <3625> to come <3195>, whereof <3739> we speak <2980>. 6 But one <5100> in a certain <4225> place testified <1263>, saying <3004>, What <5101> is man <0444>, that thou art mindful <3403> of him? or <2228> the son <5207> of man <0444>, that thou visitest <1980> him? 7 Thou madest <1642> him a little <1024> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <0032>; thou crownedst <4737> him with glory <1391> and honour <5092>, and didst set <2525> him over <1909> the works <2041> of thy hands <5495>: 8 Thou hast put <5293> all <3956> things in subjection <5293> under <5270> his feet <4228>. For in that he put <5293> all <3956> in subjection <5293> under him, he left <0863> nothing <3762> [that is] not put <0506> under <0506> him. But now <3568> we see <3708> not yet <3768> all <3956> things put <5293> under <5293> him. 9 But we see <0991> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> was made <1642> a little <1024> lower <1642> than <3844> the angels <0032> for the suffering <3804> of death <2288>, crowned <4737> with glory <1391> and honour <5092>; that he by the grace <5485> of God <2316> should taste <1089> death <2288> for every <3956> man. 10. For it became <4241> him, for whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, and by whom <3739> [are] all <3956> things, in bringing <0071> many <4183> sons <5207> unto glory <1391>, to make <5048> the captain <0747> of their salvation <4991> perfect <5048> through <1223> sufferings <3804>. 11 For both <5037> he that sanctifieth <0037> and they who are sanctified <0037> [are] all <3956> of one <1520>: for which <3739> cause <0156> he is not ashamed <1870> to call <2564> them brethren <0080>, 12 Saying <3004>, I will declare <0518> thy name <3686> unto my brethren <0080>, in the midst <3319> of the church <1577> will I sing <5214> praise <5214> unto thee. 13 And again <3825>, I will put <3982> my trust <3982> in him. And again <3825>, Behold <2400> I and the children <3813> which <3739> God <2316> hath given <1325> me. 14. Forasmuch <1893> then <3767> as the children <3813> are partakers <2841> of flesh <4561> and blood <0129>, he also <2532> himself <0846> likewise <3898> took <3348> part <3348> of the same <0846>; that through <1223> death <2288> he might destroy <2673> him that had <2192> the power <2904> of death <2288>, that is, the devil <1228>; 15 And deliver <0525> them who <3745> through fear <5401> of death <2288> were all <3956> their lifetime <2198> subject <1777> to bondage <1397>. 16 For verily <1222> he took <1949> not on <1949> [him the nature of] angels <0032>; but he took <1949> on <1949> [him] the seed <4690> of Abraham <0011>. 17 Wherefore <3606> in all <3956> things it behoved <3784> him to be made <3666> like <3666> unto [his] brethren <0080>, that he might be a merciful <1655> and faithful <4103> high <0749> priest <0749> in things [pertaining] to God <2316>, to make <2433> reconciliation <2433> for the sins <0266> of the people <2992>. 18 For in that he himself <0846> hath suffered <3958> being tempted <3985>, he is able <1410> to succour <0997> them that are tempted <3985>. Hebrews 3 1. Wherefore <3606>, holy <0040> brethren <0080>, partakers <3353> of the heavenly <2032> calling <2821>, consider <2657> the Apostle <0652> and High <0749> Priest <0749> of our profession <3671>, Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>; 2 Who was faithful <4103> to him that appointed <4160> him, as also <2532> Moses <3475> [was faithful] in all <3650> his house <3624>. 3 For this <3778> [man] was counted <0515> worthy <0515> of more <4119> glory <1391> than <3844> Moses <3475>, inasmuch <3745> as he who hath builded <2680> the house <3624> hath <2192> more <4119> honour <5092> than the house <3624>. 4 For every <3956> house <3624> is builded <2680> by some <5100> [man]; but he that built <2680> all <3956> things [is] God <2316>. 5 And Moses <3475> verily <3303> [was] faithful <4103> in all <3650> his house <3624>, as a servant <2324>, for a testimony <3142> of those <3588> things which were to be spoken <2980> after; 6 But Christ <5547> as a son <5207> over <1909> his own <0848> house <3624>; whose <3739> house <3624> are we, if <1437> we hold <2722> fast <2722> the confidence <3954> and the rejoicing <2745> of the hope <1680> firm <0949> unto <3360> the end <5056>. 7. Wherefore <1352> (as the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> saith <3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, 8 Harden <4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>, as in the provocation <3894>, in the day <2250> of temptation <3986> in the wilderness <2048>: 9 When <3739> your <5216> fathers <3962> tempted <3985> me, proved <1381> me, and saw <1492> my works <2041> forty <5062> years <2094>. 10 Wherefore <1352> I was grieved <4360> with that generation <1074>, and said <2036>, They do alway <0104> err <4105> in [their] heart <2588>; and they have not known <1097> my ways <3598>. 11 So <5613> I sware <3660> in my wrath <3709>, They shall not enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>.) 12 Take heed <0991>, brethren <0080>, lest <3379> there be in any <5100> of you an evil <4190> heart <2588> of unbelief <0570>, in departing <0868> from the living <2198> God <2316>. 13 But exhort <3870> one <1438> another <1438> daily <2250>, while <3739> it is called <2564> To day <4594>; lest <3361> any <5100> of you be hardened <4645> through the deceitfulness <0539> of sin <0266>. 14 For we are made <1096> partakers <3353> of Christ <5547>, if <1437> we hold <2722> the beginning <0746> of our confidence <5287> stedfast <0949> unto <3360> the end <5056>; 15 While <3588> it is said <3004>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden <4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>, as in the provocation <3894>. 16 For some <5100>, when they had heard <0191>, did provoke <3893>: howbeit <0235> not all <3956> that came <1831> out of Egypt <0125> by Moses <3475>. 17 But with whom <5101> was he grieved <4360> forty <5062> years <2094>? [was it] not with them that had sinned <0264>, whose <3739> carcases <2966> fell <4098> in the wilderness <2048>? 18 And to whom <5101> sware <3660> he that they should not enter <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, but to them that believed <0544> not? 19 So <2532> we see <0991> that they could <1410> not enter <1525> in because <1223> of unbelief <0570>. Hebrews 4 1. Let us therefore <3767> fear <5399>, lest <3379>, a promise <1860> being left <2641> [us] of entering <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, any <5100> of you should seem <1380> to come <5302> short <5302> of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel <2097> preached <2097>, as well <2509> as unto them: but the word <3056> preached <0189> did not profit <5623> them, not being mixed <4786> with faith <4102> in them that heard <0191> [it]. 3 For we which <3588> have believed <4100> do enter <1525> into <1519> rest <2663>, as he said <2046>, As I have sworn <3660> in my wrath <3709>, if <1487> they shall enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>: although <2543> the works <2041> were finished <1096> from the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>. 4 For he spake <2046> in a certain <4225> place of the seventh <1442> [day] on this <3779> wise <3779>, And God <2316> did rest <2664> the seventh <1442> day <2250> from all <3956> his works <2041>. 5 And in this <5129> [place] again <3825>, If <1487> they shall enter <1525> into <1519> my rest <2663>. 6 Seeing <1893> therefore <3767> it remaineth <0620> that some <5100> must enter <1525> therein <0846>, and they to whom it was first <4386> preached <2097> entered <1525> not in because <1223> of unbelief <0543>: 7 Again <3825>, he limiteth <3724> a certain <5100> day <2250>, saying <3004> in David <1138>, To day <4594>, after <3326> so <5118> long <5118> a time <5550>; as it is said <2046>, To day <4594> if <1437> ye will hear <0191> his voice <5456>, harden <4645> not your <5216> hearts <2588>. 8 For if <1487> Jesus <2424> had given them rest <2664>, then would he not afterward <5023> have spoken <2980> of another <0243> day <2250>. 9 There remaineth <0620> therefore <0686> a rest <4520> to the people <2992> of God <2316>. 10 For he that is entered <1525> into <1519> his rest <2663>, he also <2532> hath ceased <2664> from his own <0848> works <2041>, as God <2316> [did] from his. 11. Let us labour <4704> therefore <3767> to enter <1525> into <1519> that rest <2663>, lest <3361> any <5100> man fall <4098> after <1722> the same <0846> example <5262> of unbelief <0543>. 12 For the word <3056> of God <2316> [is] quick <2198>, and powerful <1756>, and sharper <5114> than <5228> any <3956> twoedged <1366> sword <3162>, piercing <1338> even to the dividing <3311> asunder of soul <5590> and spirit <4151>, and of the joints <0719> and marrow <3452>, and [is] a discerner <2924> of the thoughts <1761> and intents <1771> of the heart <2588>. 13 Neither <3756> is there any creature <2937> that is not manifest <0852> in his sight <1799>: but all <3956> things [are] naked <1131> and opened <5136> unto the eyes <3788> of him with whom <3739> we have to do <3056>. 14 Seeing then <3767> that we have <2192> a great <3173> high <0749> priest <0749>, that is passed <1330> into the heavens <3772>, Jesus <2424> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, let us hold <2902> fast [our] profession <3671>. 15 For we have <2192> not an high <0749> priest <0749> which cannot <1410> be touched <4834> with the feeling <4834> of our infirmities <0769>; but was in all <3956> points tempted <3985> like <3665> as [we are, yet] without <5565> sin <0266>. 16 Let us therefore <3767> come <4334> boldly <3954> unto the throne <2362> of grace <5485>, that we may obtain <2983> mercy <1656>, and find <2147> grace <5485> to help <0996> in time <2121> of need <2121>. Hebrews 5 1. For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> taken <2983> from among <5228> men <0444> is ordained <2525> for men <0444> in things [pertaining] to God <2316>, that he may offer <4374> both <5037> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378> for sins <0266>: 2 Who can <1410> have compassion <3356> on the ignorant <0050>, and on them that are out of the way <4105>; for that he himself <0846> also <2532> is compassed <4029> with infirmity <0769>. 3 And by reason <1223> hereof <5026> he ought <3784>, as for the people <2992>, so <3779> also <2532> for himself <1438>, to offer <4374> for sins <0266>. 4 And no <3756> man <5100> taketh <2983> this <3588> honour <5092> unto himself <1438>, but he that is called <2564> of God <2316>, as <2509> [was] Aaron <0002>. 5 So <3779> also <2532> Christ <5547> glorified <1392> not himself <1438> to be made <1096> an high <0749> priest <0749>; but he that said <2980> unto him, Thou art <1488> my Son <5207>, to day <4594> have I begotten <1080> thee. 6 As he saith <3004> also <2532> in another <2087> [place], Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>. 7 Who <3739> in the days <2250> of his flesh <4561>, when he had offered <4374> up prayers <1162> and supplications <2428> with strong <2478> crying <2906> and tears <1144> unto him that was able <1410> to save <4982> him from death <2288>, and was heard <1522> in that he feared <2124>; 8 Though <2539> he were a Son <5207>, yet learned <3129> he obedience <5218> by the things which <3739> he suffered <3958>; 9 And being made <5048> perfect <5048>, he became <1096> the author <0159> of eternal <0166> salvation <4991> unto all <3956> them that obey <5219> him; 10. Called <4316> of God <2316> an high <0749> priest <0749> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>. 11 Of whom <3739> we have many <4183> things to say <3056>, and hard <1421> to be uttered <3004>, seeing <1893> ye are dull <3576> of hearing <0189>. 12 For when for the time <5550> ye ought <3784> to be teachers <1320>, ye have <2192> need <5532> that one teach <1321> you again <3825> which <5101> [be] the first <0746> principles <4747> of the oracles <3051> of God <2316>; and are become <1096> such as have <2192> need <5532> of milk <1051>, and not of strong <4731> meat <5160>. 13 For every <3956> one that useth <3348> milk <1051> [is] unskilful <0552> in the word <3056> of righteousness <1343>: for he is a babe <3516>. 14 But strong <4731> meat <5160> belongeth <1510> to them that are of full <5046> age <5046>, [even] those <3588> who by reason <1223> of use <1838> have <2192> their senses <0145> exercised <1128> to discern <1253> both <5037> good <2570> and evil <2556>. Hebrews 6 1. Therefore leaving <0863> the principles <0746> of the doctrine <3056> of Christ <5547>, let us go <5342> on unto perfection <5051>; not laying <2598> again <3825> the foundation <2310> of repentance <3341> from dead <3498> works <2041>, and of faith <4102> toward <1909> God <2316>, 2 Of the doctrine <1322> of baptisms <0909>, and of laying <1936> on <1936> of hands <5495>, and of resurrection <0386> of the dead <3498>, and of eternal <0166> judgment <2917>. 3 And this <5124> will we do <4160>, if <1437> God <2316> permit <2010>. 4 For [it is] impossible <0102> for those <3588> who were once <0530> enlightened <5461>, and have tasted <1089> of the heavenly <2032> gift <1431>, and were made <1096> partakers <3353> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, 5 And have tasted <1089> the good <2570> word <4487> of God <2316>, and the powers <1411> of the world <0165> to come <3195>, 6 If they shall fall <3895> away <3895>, to renew <0340> them again <3825> unto repentance <3341>; seeing they crucify <0388> to themselves <1438> the Son <5207> of God <2316> afresh <0388>, and put <3856> [him] to an open <3856> shame <3856>. 7 For the earth <1093> which <3588> drinketh <4095> in the rain <5205> that cometh <2064> oft <4178> upon it, and bringeth <5088> forth <5088> herbs <1008> meet <2111> for them by whom <3739> it is dressed <1090>, receiveth <3335> blessing <2129> from God <2316>: 8 But that which beareth <1627> thorns <0173> and briers <5146> [is] rejected <0096>, and [is] nigh <1451> unto cursing <2671>; whose <3739> end <5056> [is] to be burned <2740>. 9. But, beloved <0027>, we are persuaded <3982> better <2909> things of you, and things that accompany <2192> salvation <4991>, though <1499> we thus <3779> speak <2980>. 10 For God <2316> [is] not unrighteous <0094> to forget <1950> your <5216> work <2041> and labour <2873> of love <0026>, which <3739> ye have shewed <1731> toward <1519> his name <3686>, in that ye have ministered <1247> to the saints <0040>, and do minister <1247>. 11 And we desire <1937> that every <1538> one of you do shew <1731> the same <0846> diligence <4710> to the full <4136> assurance <4136> of hope <1680> unto the end <5056>: 12 That ye be not slothful <3576>, but followers <3402> of them who through <1223> faith <4102> and patience <3115> inherit <2816> the promises <1860>. 13 For when God <2316> made <1861> promise <1861> to Abraham <0011>, because <1893> he could <2192> swear <3660> by no <3762> greater <3187>, he sware <3660> by himself <1438>, 14 Saying <3004>, Surely <3375> <2229> blessing <2127> I will bless <2127> thee, and multiplying <4129> I will multiply <4129> thee. 15 And so <3779>, after he had patiently <3114> endured <3114>, he obtained <2013> the promise <1860>. 16 For men <0444> verily <3303> swear <3660> by the greater <3187>: and an oath <3727> for confirmation <0951> [is] to them an end <4009> of all <3956> strife <0485>. 17 Wherein <1722> <3739> God <2316>, willing <1014> more <4054> abundantly <4054> to shew <1925> unto the heirs <2818> of promise <1860> the immutability <0276> of his counsel <1012>, confirmed <3315> [it] by an oath <3727>: 18 That by two <1417> immutable <0276> things <4229>, in which <3739> [it was] impossible <0102> for God <2316> to lie <5574>, we might have <2192> a strong <2478> consolation <3874>, who <3588> have fled <2703> for refuge <2703> to lay hold <2902> upon the hope <1680> set <4295> before <4295> us: 19 Which <3739> [hope] we have <2192> as an anchor <0045> of the soul <5590>, both <5037> sure <0804> and stedfast <0949>, and which entereth <1535> into <1519> that within <2082> the veil <2665>; 20 Whither <3699> the forerunner <4274> is for us entered <1525>, [even] Jesus <2424>, made <1096> an high <0749> priest <0749> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>. Hebrews 7 1. For this <3778> Melchisedec <3198>, king <0935> of Salem <4532>, priest <2409> of the most <5310> high <5310> God <2316>, who <3588> met <4876> Abraham <0011> returning <5290> from the slaughter <2871> of the kings <0935>, and blessed <2127> him; 2 To whom <3739> also <2532> Abraham <0011> gave a tenth <1181> part <3307> of all <3956>; first <4412> being by interpretation <2059> King <0935> of righteousness <1343>, and after <1899> that also <2532> King <0935> of Salem <4532>, which <3603> is <3603>, King <0935> of peace <1515>; 3 Without <0540> father <0540>, without <0282> mother <0282>, without <0035> descent <0035>, having <2192> neither <3383> beginning <0746> of days <2250>, nor <3383> end <5056> of life <2222>; but made <0871> like <0871> unto the Son <5207> of God <2316>; abideth <3306> a priest <2409> continually <1336>. 4 Now <1161> consider <2334> how <4080> great <4080> this <3778> man [was], unto whom <3739> even <2532> the patriarch <3966> Abraham <0011> gave <1325> the tenth <1181> of the spoils <0205>. 5 And verily <3303> they that are of the sons <5207> of Levi <3017>, who <3588> receive <2983> the office <2405> of the priesthood <2405>, have <2192> a commandment <1785> to take tithes <0586> of the people <2992> according <2596> to the law <3551>, that is, of their brethren <0080>, though <2539> they come <1831> out of the loins <3751> of Abraham <0011>: 6 But he whose descent <1075> is not counted <1075> from them received <1183> tithes <1183> of Abraham <0011>, and blessed <2127> him that had <2192> the promises <1860>. 7 And without <5565> all <3956> contradiction <0485> the less <1640> is blessed <2127> of the better <2909>. 8 And here <5602> men <0444> that die <0599> receive <2983> tithes <1181>; but there <1563> he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed <3140> that he liveth <2198>. 9 And as I may so <5613> say <2031> <2036>, Levi <3017> also <2532>, who <3588> receiveth <2983> tithes <1181>, payed <1183> tithes <1183> in Abraham <0011>. 10 For he was yet <2089> in the loins <3751> of his father <3962>, when <3753> Melchisedec <3198> met <4876> him. 11. If <1487> therefore <3767> perfection <5050> were by the Levitical <3020> priesthood <2420>, (for under <1909> it the people <2992> received <3549> the law <3549>,) what <5101> further <2089> need <5532> [was there] that another <2087> priest <2409> should rise <0450> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>, and not be called <3004> after <2596> the order <5010> of Aaron <0002>? 12 For the priesthood <2420> being changed <3346>, there is made <1096> of necessity <0318> a change <3331> also <2532> of the law <3551>. 13 For he of whom <3739> these <5023> things <5023> are spoken <3004> pertaineth <3348> to another <2087> tribe <5443>, of which <3739> no <3762> man <3762> gave <4337> attendance <4337> at the altar <2379>. 14 For [it is] evident <4271> that our Lord <2962> sprang <0393> out of Juda <2455>; of which <3739> tribe <5443> Moses <3475> spake <2980> nothing <3762> concerning <4012> priesthood <2420>. 15 And it is yet <2089> far <4054> more <4054> evident <2612>: for that after <2596> the similitude <3665> of Melchisedec <3198> there ariseth <0450> another <2087> priest <2409>, 16 Who <3739> is made <1096>, not after <2596> the law <3551> of a carnal <4559> commandment <1785>, but after <2596> the power <1411> of an endless <0179> life <2222>. 17 For he testifieth <3140>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>. 18 For there is verily <3303> a disannulling <0115> of the commandment <1785> going <4254> before <4254> for the weakness <0772> and unprofitableness <0512> thereof <0846>. 19 For the law <3551> made <5048> nothing <3762> perfect <5048>, but the bringing <1898> in of a better <2909> hope <1680> [did]; by the which <3739> we draw nigh <1448> unto God <2316>. 20 And inasmuch <3745> as not without <5565> an oath <3728> [he was made priest]: 21 (For those <3588> priests <2409> were made <1096> without <5565> an oath <3728>; but this with an oath <3728> by him that said <3004> unto him, The Lord <2962> sware <3660> and will not repent <3338>, Thou [art] a priest <2409> for ever <0165> after <2596> the order <5010> of Melchisedec <3198>:) 22 By so <5118> much <5118> was Jesus <2424> made <1096> a surety <1450> of a better <2909> testament <1242>. 23 And they truly <3303> were many <4119> priests <2409>, because <1223> they were not suffered <2967> to continue <3887> by reason of death <2288>: 24 But this <3588> [man], because <1223> he continueth <3306> ever <0165>, hath <2192> an unchangeable <0531> priesthood <2420>. 25 Wherefore <3606> he is able <1410> also <2532> to save <4982> them to the uttermost <3838> that come <4334> unto God <2316> by him, seeing he ever <3842> liveth <2198> to make <1793> intercession <1793> for them. 26 For such <5108> an high <0749> priest <0749> became <4241> us, [who is] holy <3741>, harmless <0172>, undefiled <0283>, separate <5563> from sinners <0268>, and made <1096> higher <5308> than the heavens <3772>; 27 Who <3739> needeth <0318> not daily <2250>, as those <3588> high <0749> priests <0749>, to offer <0399> up sacrifice <2378>, first <4386> for his own <2398> sins <0266>, and then <1899> for the people's <2992>: for this <5124> he did <4160> once <2178>, when he offered <0399> up himself <1438>. 28 For the law <3551> maketh <2525> men <0444> high <0749> priests <0749> which have <2192> infirmity <0769>; but the word <3056> of the oath <3728>, which <3588> was since <3326> the law <3551>, [maketh] the Son <5207>, who is consecrated <5048> for evermore <0165>. Hebrews 8 1. Now <1161> of the things which we have spoken <3004> [this is] the sum <2774>: We have <2192> such <5108> an high <0749> priest <0749>, who <3739> is set <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of the throne <2362> of the Majesty <3172> in the heavens <3772>; 2 A minister <3011> of the sanctuary <0039>, and of the true <0228> tabernacle <4633>, which <3739> the Lord <2962> pitched <4078>, and not man <0444>. 3 For every <3956> high <0749> priest <0749> is ordained <2525> to offer <4374> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>: wherefore <3606> [it is] of necessity <0316> that this <5126> man have <2192> somewhat <5100> also <2532> to offer <4374>. 4 For if <1487> he were on <1909> earth <1093>, he should not be a priest <2409>, seeing that there are priests <2409> that offer <4374> gifts <1435> according <2596> to the law <3551>: 5 Who <3748> serve <3000> unto the example <5262> and shadow <4639> of heavenly <2032> things, as Moses <3475> was admonished <5537> of God <5537> when he was about <3195> to make <2005> the tabernacle <4633>: for, See <3708>, saith <5346> he, [that] thou make <4160> all <3956> things according <2596> to the pattern <5179> shewed <1166> to thee in the mount <3735>. 6. But now <3570> hath he obtained <5177> a more excellent <1313> ministry <3009>, by how <3745> much <3745> also <2532> he is the mediator <3316> of a better <2909> covenant <1242>, which <3748> was established <3549> upon better <2909> promises <1860>. 7 For if <1487> that first <4413> [covenant] had been <2258> faultless <0273>, then should no <3756> place <5117> have been sought <2212> for the second <1208>. 8 For finding fault <3201> with them, he saith <3004>, Behold <2400>, the days <2250> come <2064>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, when I will make <4931> a new <2537> covenant <1242> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and with the house <3624> of Judah <2455>: 9 Not according <2596> to the covenant <1242> that I made <4160> with their fathers <3962> in the day <2250> when I took <1949> them by the hand <5495> to lead <1806> them out of the land <1093> of Egypt <0125>; because <3754> they continued <1696> not in my covenant <1242>, and I regarded <0272> them not, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>. 10 For this <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make <1303> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>; I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into <1519> their mind <1271>, and write <1924> them in their hearts <2588>: and I will be to them a God <2316>, and they shall be to me a people <2992>: 11 And they shall not teach <1321> every <1538> man his neighbour <4139>, and every <1538> man his brother <0080>, saying <3004>, Know <1097> the Lord <2962>: for all <3956> shall know <1492> me, from the least <3398> to the greatest <3173>. 12 For I will be merciful <2436> to their unrighteousness <0093>, and their sins <0266> and their iniquities <0458> will I remember <3415> no <3364> more <2089>. 13 In that he saith <3004>, A new <2537> [covenant], he hath made <3822> the first <4413> old <3822>. Now <1161> that which decayeth <3822> and waxeth <1095> old <1095> [is] ready <1451> to vanish <0854> away. Hebrews 9 1. Then <3767> verily <3303> the first <4413> [covenant] had <2192> also <2532> ordinances <1345> of divine <2999> service <2999>, and a worldly <2886> sanctuary <0039>. 2 For there was a tabernacle <4633> made <2680>; the first <4413>, wherein <1722> <3739> [was] the candlestick <3087>, and the table <5132>, and the shewbread <0740> <4286>; which <3748> is called <3004> the sanctuary <0039>. 3 And after <3326> the second <1208> veil <2665>, the tabernacle <4633> which <3588> is called <3004> the Holiest <0039> of all; 4 Which had <2192> the golden <5552> censer <2369>, and the ark <2787> of the covenant <1242> overlaid <4028> round <3840> about <3840> with gold <5553>, wherein <1722> <3739> [was] the golden <5552> pot <4713> that had <2192> manna <3131>, and Aaron's <0002> rod <4464> that budded <0985>, and the tables <4109> of the covenant <1242>; 5 And over <5231> it the cherubims <5502> of glory <1391> shadowing <2683> the mercyseat <2435>; of which <3739> we cannot <1410> now <3568> speak <3004> particularly <3313>. 6 Now <1161> when these <5130> things were thus <3779> ordained <2680>, the priests <2409> went <1524> always <1275> into <1519> the first <4413> tabernacle <4633>, accomplishing <2005> the service <2999> [of God]. 7 But into <1519> the second <1208> [went] the high <0749> priest <0749> alone <3441> once <0530> every year <1763>, not without <5565> blood <0129>, which <3739> he offered <4374> for himself <1438>, and [for] the errors <0051> of the people <2992>: 8. The Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> this <5124> signifying <1213>, that the way <3598> into the holiest <0039> of all was not yet <3380> made <5319> manifest <5319>, while as the first <4413> tabernacle <4633> was yet <2089> standing <4714>: 9 Which <3748> [was] a figure <3850> for the time <2540> then <3588> present <1764>, in which <3739> were offered <4374> both <5037> gifts <1435> and sacrifices <2378>, that could <1410> not make <5048> him that did <3000> the service <3000> perfect <5048>, as pertaining to the conscience <4893>; 10 [Which stood] only <3440> in meats <1033> and drinks <4188>, and divers <1313> washings <0909>, and carnal <4561> ordinances <1345>, imposed <1945> [on them] until <3360> the time <2540> of reformation <1357>. 11 But Christ <5547> being come <3854> an high <0749> priest <0749> of good <0018> things to come <3195>, by a greater <3187> and more perfect <5046> tabernacle <4633>, not made <5499> with hands <5499>, that is to say, not of this <5026> building <2937>; 12 Neither <3761> by the blood <0129> of goats <5131> and calves <3448>, but by his own <2398> blood <0129> he entered <1525> in once <2178> into <1519> the holy <0039> place, having obtained <2147> eternal <0166> redemption <3085> [for us]. 13 For if <1487> the blood <0129> of bulls <5022> and of goats <5131>, and the ashes <4700> of an heifer <1151> sprinkling <4472> the unclean <2840>, sanctifieth <0037> to the purifying <2514> of the flesh <4561>: 14 How <4214> much <4214> more <3123> shall the blood <0129> of Christ <5547>, who <3739> through <1223> the eternal <0166> Spirit <4151> offered <4374> himself <1438> without <0299> spot <0299> to God <2316>, purge <2511> your <5216> conscience <4893> from dead <3498> works <2041> to serve <3000> the living <2198> God <2316>? 15. And for this <5124> cause <1223> he is the mediator <3316> of the new <2537> testament <1242>, that by means <1096> of death <2288>, for the redemption <0629> of the transgressions <3847> [that were] under <1909> the first <4413> testament <1242>, they which are called <2564> might receive <2983> the promise <1860> of eternal <0166> inheritance <2817>. 16 For where <3699> a testament <1242> [is], there must also of necessity <0318> be <5342> the death <2288> of the testator <1303>. 17 For a testament <1242> [is] of force <0949> after men are dead <3498>: otherwise <1893> it is of no <3361> strength <2480> at <3379> all <4219> while <3753> the testator <1303> liveth <2198>. 18 Whereupon <3606> neither <3761> the first <4413> [testament] was dedicated <1457> without <5565> blood <0129>. 19 For when Moses <3475> had spoken <2980> every <3956> precept <1785> to all <3956> the people <2992> according <2596> to the law <3551>, he took <2983> the blood <0129> of calves <3448> and of goats <5131>, with water <5204>, and scarlet <2847> wool <2053>, and hyssop <5301>, and sprinkled <4472> both <5037> the book <0975>, and all <3956> the people <2992>, 20 Saying <3004>, This <5124> [is] the blood <0129> of the testament <1242> which <3739> God <2316> hath enjoined <1781> unto you. 21 Moreover <1161> <3568> he sprinkled <4472> with blood <0129> both <2532> the tabernacle <4633>, and all <3956> the vessels <4632> of the ministry <3009>. 22 And almost <4975> all <3956> things are by the law <3551> purged <2511> with blood <0129>; and without <5565> shedding <0130> of blood <0130> is no <3756> remission <0859>. 23. [It was] therefore <3767> necessary <0318> that the patterns <5262> of things in the heavens <3772> should be purified <2511> with these <5125>; but the heavenly <2032> things themselves <0846> with better <2909> sacrifices <2378> than <3844> these <5025>. 24 For Christ <5547> is not entered <1525> into <1519> the holy <0039> places made <5499> with hands <5499>, [which are] the figures <0499> of the true <0228>; but into <1519> heaven <3772> itself <0846>, now <3568> to appear <1718> in the presence <4383> of God <2316> for us: 25 Nor <3761> yet that he should offer <4374> himself <1438> often <4178>, as the high <0749> priest <0749> entereth <1535> into <1519> the holy <0039> place every <2596> year <1763> with blood <0129> of others <0245>; 26 For then must <1163> he often <4178> have suffered <3958> since <0575> the foundation <2602> of the world <2889>: but now <3568> once <0530> in the end <4930> of the world <0165> hath he appeared <5319> to put <0115> away <0115> sin <0266> by the sacrifice <2378> of himself <0848>. 27 And as it is appointed <0606> unto men <0444> once <0530> to die <0599>, but after <3326> this <5124> the judgment <2920>: 28 So <3779> Christ <5547> was once <0530> offered <4374> to bear <0399> the sins <0266> of many <4183>; and unto them that look <0553> for him shall he appear <3700> the second <1208> time without <5565> sin <0266> unto salvation <4991>. Hebrews 10 1. For the law <3551> having <2192> a shadow <4639> of good <0018> things to come <3195>, [and] not the very <0846> image <1504> of the things <4229>, can <1410> never <3763> with those <0846> sacrifices <2378> which <3739> they offered <4374> year <1763> by year <1763> continually <1336> make <5048> the comers <4334> thereunto <4334> perfect <5048>. 2 For then would they not have ceased <3973> to be offered <4374>? because <1223> that the worshippers <3000> once <0530> purged <2508> should have <2192> had <2192> no <3367> more <2089> conscience <4893> of sins <0266>. 3 But in those <0846> [sacrifices there is] a remembrance <0364> again <0364> [made] of sins <0266> every <2596> year <1763>. 4 For [it is] not possible <0102> that the blood <0129> of bulls <5022> and of goats <5131> should take <0851> away <0851> sins <0266>. 5 Wherefore <1352> when he cometh into <1519> the world <2889>, he saith <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and offering <4376> thou wouldest <2309> not, but a body <4983> hast thou prepared <2675> me: 6 In burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [sacrifices] for sin <0266> thou hast had no <3756> pleasure <2106>. 7. Then <5119> said <2036> I, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> (in the volume <2777> of the book <0975> it is written <1125> of me,) to do <4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>. 8 Above <0511> when he said <3004>, Sacrifice <2378> and offering <4376> and burnt <3646> offerings <3646> and [offering] for sin <0266> thou wouldest <2309> not, neither <3761> hadst pleasure <2106> [therein]; which <3748> are offered <4374> by the law <3551>; 9 Then <5119> said <2046> he, Lo <2400>, I come <2240> to do <4160> thy will <2307>, O God <2316>. He taketh <0337> away <0337> the first <4413>, that he may establish <2476> the second <1208>. 10 By the which <3739> will <2307> we are sanctified <0037> through <1223> the offering <4376> of the body <4983> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> once <2178> [for all]. 11 And every <3956> priest <2409> standeth <2476> daily <2250> ministering <3008> and offering <4374> oftentimes <4178> the same <0846> sacrifices <2378>, which <3748> can <1410> never <3763> take <4014> away <4014> sins <0266>: 12 But this <3778> man, after he had offered <4374> one <3391> sacrifice <2378> for sins <0266> for ever <1336>, sat <2523> down <2523> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>; 13 From henceforth <3063> expecting <1551> till <2193> his enemies <2190> be made <5087> his footstool <4228> <5286>. 14 For by one <3391> offering <4376> he hath perfected <5048> for ever <1336> them that are sanctified <0037>. 15 [Whereof] the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> also <2532> is a witness <3140> to us: for after <3326> that he had said <4280> before <4280>, 16 This <3778> [is] the covenant <1242> that I will make <1303> with them after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, I will put <1325> my laws <3551> into <1909> their hearts <2588>, and in their minds <1271> will I write <1924> them; 17 And their sins <0266> and iniquities <0458> will I remember <3415> no <3361> more <2089>. 18 Now <1161> where <3699> remission <0859> of these <5130> [is, there is] no <3765> more <2089> offering <4376> for sin <0266>. 19. Having <2192> therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, boldness <3954> to enter <1529> into the holiest <0039> by the blood <0129> of Jesus <2424>, 20 By a new <4372> and living <2198> way <3598>, which <3739> he hath consecrated <1457> for us, through <1223> the veil <2665>, that is to say, his flesh <4561>; 21 And [having] an high <3173> priest <2409> over <1909> the house <3624> of God <2316>; 22 Let us draw <4334> near <4334> with a true <0228> heart <2588> in full <4136> assurance <4136> of faith <4102>, having our hearts <2588> sprinkled <4472> from an evil <4190> conscience <4893>, and our bodies <4983> washed <3068> with pure <2513> water <5204>. 23 Let us hold <2722> fast <2722> the profession <3671> of [our] faith <1680> without <0186> wavering <0186>; (for he [is] faithful <4103> that promised <1861>;) 24 And let us consider <2657> one <0240> another <0240> to provoke <3948> unto love <0026> and to good <2570> works <2041>: 25 Not forsaking <1459> the assembling <1997> of ourselves <1438> together <1997>, as the manner <1485> of some <5100> [is]; but exhorting <3870> [one another]: and so <5118> much <5118> the more <3123>, as ye see <0991> the day <2250> approaching <1448>. 26 For if we sin <0264> wilfully <1596> after <3326> that we have received <2983> the knowledge <1922> of the truth <0225>, there remaineth <0620> no <3765> more <2089> sacrifice <2378> for sins <0266>, 27 But a certain <5100> fearful <5398> looking <1561> for of judgment <2920> and fiery <4442> indignation <2205>, which shall devour <2068> the adversaries <5227>. 28 He that despised <0114> Moses <3475>' law <3551> died <0599> without <5565> mercy <3628> under <1909> two <1417> or <2228> three <5140> witnesses <3144>: 29 Of how <4214> much <4214> sorer <5501> punishment <5098>, suppose <1380> ye, shall he be thought worthy <0515>, who <3588> hath trodden <2662> under <2662> foot <2662> the Son <5207> of God <2316>, and hath counted <2233> the blood <0129> of the covenant <1242>, wherewith <3739> he was sanctified <0037>, an unholy <2839> thing, and hath done <1796> despite <1796> unto the Spirit <4151> of grace <5485>? 30 For we know <1492> him that hath said <2036>, Vengeance <1557> [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense <0467>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>. And again <3825>, The Lord <2962> shall judge <2919> his people <2992>. 31 [It is] a fearful <5398> thing to fall <1706> into <1519> the hands <5495> of the living <2198> God <2316>. 32 But call <0363> to remembrance <0363> the former <4386> days <2250>, in which <3739>, after ye were illuminated <5461>, ye endured <5278> a great <4183> fight <0119> of afflictions <3804>; 33 Partly <3303>, whilst ye were made <2301> a gazingstock <2301> both <5037> by reproaches <3680> and afflictions <2347>; and partly <1161>, whilst ye became <1096> companions <2844> of them that were so <3779> used <0390>. 34 For ye had compassion <4834> of me in my bonds <1199>, and took <4327> joyfully <5479> the spoiling <0724> of your <5216> goods <5224>, knowing <1097> in yourselves <1438> that ye have <2192> in heaven <3772> a better <2909> and an enduring <3306> substance <5223>. 35 Cast <0577> not away <0577> therefore <3767> your <5216> confidence <3954>, which <3748> hath <2192> great <3173> recompence <3405> of reward <3405>. 36 For ye have need <5532> of patience <5281>, that, after ye have done <4160> the will <2307> of God <2316>, ye might receive <2865> the promise <1860>. 37 For yet <2089> a little <3398> while <3398>, and he that shall come <2064> will come <2240>, and will not tarry <5549>. 38 Now <1161> the just <1342> shall live <2198> by faith <4102>: but if <1437> [any man] draw <5288> back <5288>, my soul <5590> shall have no <3756> pleasure <2106> in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw <5289> back <5289> unto perdition <0684>; but of them that believe <4102> to the saving <4047> of the soul <5590>. Hebrews 11 1. Now <1161> faith <4102> is the substance <5287> of things <4229> hoped <1679> for, the evidence <1650> of things not seen <0991>. 2 For by it the elders <4245> obtained <3140> a good report <3140>. 3 Through faith <4102> we understand <3539> that the worlds <0165> were framed <2675> by the word <4487> of God <2316>, so <1519> that things which <3588> are seen <0991> were not made <1096> of things which do appear <5316>. 4. By faith <4102> Abel <0006> offered <4374> unto God <2316> a more excellent <4119> sacrifice <2378> than <3844> Cain <2535>, by which <3739> he obtained <3140> witness <3140> that he was righteous <1342>, God <2316> testifying <3140> of his gifts <1435>: and by it he being dead <0599> yet <2089> speaketh <2980>. 5 By faith <4102> Enoch <1802> was translated <3346> that he should not see <1492> death <2288>; and was not found <2147>, because <1360> God <2316> had translated <3346> him: for before <4253> his translation <3331> he had this testimony <3140>, that he pleased <2100> God <2316>. 6 But without <5565> faith <4102> [it is] impossible <0102> to please <2100> [him]: for he that cometh <4334> to God <2316> must <1163> believe <4100> that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder <3406> of them that diligently <1567> seek <1567> him. 7 By faith <4102> Noah <3575>, being warned <5537> of God of things not seen <0991> as yet <3369>, moved <2125> with fear <2125>, prepared <2680> an ark <2787> to the saving <4991> of his house <3624>; by the which <3739> he condemned <2632> the world <2889>, and became <1096> heir <2818> of the righteousness <1343> which is by faith <4102>. 8 By faith <4102> Abraham <0011>, when he was called <2564> to go <1831> out into <1519> a place <5117> which <3739> he should <3195> after <3195> receive <2983> for an inheritance <2817>, obeyed <5219>; and he went <1831> out, not knowing <1987> whither <4226> he went <2064>. 9 By faith <4102> he sojourned <3939> in the land <1093> of promise <1860>, as [in] a strange <0245> country, dwelling <2730> in tabernacles <4633> with Isaac <2464> and Jacob <2384>, the heirs <4789> with him of the same promise <1860>: 10 For he looked <1551> for a city <4172> which hath <2192> foundations <2310>, whose <3739> builder <5079> and maker <1217> [is] God <2316>. 11 Through faith <4102> also <2532> Sara <4564> herself <0846> received <2983> strength <1411> to conceive <2602> seed <4690>, and was delivered <5088> of a child <5088> when she was past <3844> age <2244>, because <1893> she judged <2233> him faithful <4103> who had promised <1861>. 12 Therefore <1352> sprang <1080> there even <2532> of one <1520>, and him as good as dead <3499>, [so many] as the stars <0798> of the sky <3772> in multitude <4128>, and as the sand <0285> which <3588> is by the sea <2281> shore <5491> innumerable <0382>. 13 These <3778> all <3956> died <0599> in faith <4102>, not having received <2983> the promises <1860>, but having seen <1492> them afar <4207> off, and were persuaded <3982> of [them], and embraced <0782> [them], and confessed <3670> that they were strangers <3581> and pilgrims <3927> on <1909> the earth <1093>. 14 For they that say <3004> such <5108> things declare <1718> plainly <1718> that they seek <1934> a country <3968>. 15 And truly <3303>, if <1487> they had been mindful <3421> of that [country] from whence <3739> they came <1831> out, they might have <2192> had <2192> opportunity <2540> to have returned <0344>. 16 But now <3570> they desire <3713> a better <2909> [country], that is, an heavenly <2032>: wherefore <1352> God <2316> is not ashamed <1870> to be called <1941> their God <2316>: for he hath prepared <2090> for them a city <4172>. 17 By faith <4102> Abraham <0011>, when he was tried <3985>, offered <4374> up Isaac <2464>: and he that had received <0324> the promises <1860> offered <4374> up his only <3439> begotten <3439> [son], 18 Of whom <3739> it was said <2980>, That in Isaac <2464> shall thy seed <4690> be called <2564>: 19 Accounting <3049> that God <2316> [was] able <1415> to raise <1453> [him] up, even <2532> from the dead <3498>; from whence <3606> also <2532> he received <2865> him in a figure <3850>. 20 By faith <4102> Isaac <2464> blessed <2127> Jacob <2384> and Esau <2269> concerning <4012> things to come <3195>. 21 By faith <4102> Jacob <2384>, when he was a dying <0599>, blessed <2127> both <1538> the sons <5207> of Joseph <2501>; and worshipped <4352>, [leaning] upon the top <0206> of his staff <4464>. 22 By faith <4102> Joseph <2501>, when he died <5053>, made <3421> mention <3421> of the departing <1841> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474>; and gave commandment <1781> concerning <4012> his bones <3747>. 23 By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was born <1080>, was hid <2928> three <5150> months <5150> of his parents <3962>, because <1360> they saw <1492> [he was] a proper <0791> child <3813>; and they were not afraid <5399> of the king's <0935> commandment <1297>. 24 By faith <4102> Moses <3475>, when he was come <1096> to years <3173>, refused <0720> to be called <3004> the son <5207> of Pharaoh's <5328> daughter <2364>; 25 Choosing <0138> rather <3123> to suffer <4778> affliction <4778> with the people <2992> of God <2316>, than <2228> to enjoy <0619> the pleasures of sin <0266> for a season <4340>; 26 Esteeming <2233> the reproach <3680> of Christ <5547> greater <3187> riches <4149> than the treasures <2344> in Egypt <0125>: for he had respect <0578> unto the recompence <3405> of the reward <3405>. 27 By faith <4102> he forsook <2641> Egypt <0125>, not fearing <5399> the wrath <2372> of the king <0935>: for he endured <2594>, as seeing <3708> him who is invisible <0517>. 28 Through faith <4102> he kept <4160> the passover <3957>, and the sprinkling <4378> of blood <0129>, lest <3361> he that destroyed <3645> the firstborn <4416> should touch <2345> them. 29 By faith <4102> they passed <1224> through <1224> the Red <2063> sea <2281> as by dry <3584> [land]: which <3739> the Egyptians <0124> assaying <3984> to do were drowned <2666>. 30 By faith <4102> the walls <5038> of Jericho <2410> fell <4098> down, after they were compassed <2944> about <2944> seven <2033> days <2250>. 31 By faith <4102> the harlot <4204> Rahab <4460> perished <4881> not with them that believed <0544> not, when she had received <1209> the spies <2685> with peace <1515>. 32. And what <5101> shall I more <2089> say <3004>? for the time <5550> would fail <1952> me to tell <1334> of Gedeon <1066>, and [of] Barak <0913>, and [of] Samson <4546>, and [of] Jephthae <2422>; [of] David <1138> also <5037>, and Samuel <4545>, and [of] the prophets <4396>: 33 Who <3739> through <1223> faith <4102> subdued <2610> kingdoms <0932>, wrought <2038> righteousness <1343>, obtained <2013> promises <1860>, stopped <5420> the mouths <4750> of lions <3023>, 34 Quenched <4570> the violence <1411> of fire <4442>, escaped <5343> the edge <4750> of the sword <3162>, out of weakness <0769> were made <1743> strong <1743>, waxed <1096> valiant <2478> in fight <4171>, turned <2827> to flight the armies <3925> of the aliens <0245>. 35 Women <1135> received <2983> their dead <3498> raised <0386> to life again <0386>: and others <0243> were tortured <5178>, not accepting <4327> deliverance <0629>; that they might obtain <5177> a better <2909> resurrection <0386>: 36 And others <2087> had <2983> trial <3984> of [cruel] mockings <1701> and scourgings <3148>, yea <1161>, moreover <1161> of bonds <1199> and imprisonment <5438>: 37 They were stoned <3034>, they were sawn <4249> asunder <4249>, were tempted <3985>, were slain <0599> with the sword <3162>: they wandered <4022> about <4022> in sheepskins <3374> and goatskins <0122> <1193>; being destitute <5302>, afflicted <2346>, tormented <2558>; 38 (Of whom <3739> the world <2889> was not worthy <0514>:) they wandered <4105> in deserts <2047>, and [in] mountains <3735>, and [in] dens <4693> and caves <3692> of the earth <1093>. 39 And these <3778> all <3956>, having obtained <3140> a good report <3140> through <1223> faith <4102>, received <2865> not the promise <1860>: 40 God <2316> having provided <4265> some <5100> better <2909> thing for us, that they without <5565> us should not be made <5048> perfect <5048>. Hebrews 12 1. Wherefore <5105> seeing we also <2532> are compassed <4029> about <4029> with so <5118> great <5118> a cloud <3509> of witnesses <3144>, let us lay <0659> aside <0659> every <3956> weight <3591>, and the sin <0266> which doth so easily beset <2139> [us], and let us run <5143> with patience <5281> the race <0073> that is set <4295> before <4295> us, 2 Looking <0872> unto Jesus <2424> the author <0747> and finisher <5047> of [our] faith <4102>; who <3739> for the joy <5479> that was set <4295> before <4295> him endured <5278> the cross <4716>, despising <2706> the shame <0152>, and is set <2523> down <2523> at <1722> the right <1188> hand of the throne <2362> of God <2316>. 3 For consider <0357> him that endured <5278> such <5108> contradiction <0485> of sinners <0268> against <1519> himself <0848>, lest <3361> ye be wearied <2577> and faint <1590> in your <5216> minds <5590>. 4. Ye have not yet <3768> resisted <0478> unto <3360> blood <0129>, striving <0464> against <4314> sin <0266>. 5 And ye have forgotten <1585> the exhortation <3874> which <3748> speaketh <1256> unto you as unto children <5207>, My son <5207>, despise <3643> not thou the chastening <3809> of the Lord <2962>, nor <3366> faint <1590> when thou art rebuked <1651> of him: 6 For whom <3739> the Lord <2962> loveth <0025> he chasteneth <3811>, and scourgeth <3146> every <3956> son <5207> whom <3739> he receiveth <3858>. 7 If <1487> ye endure <5278> chastening <3809>, God <2316> dealeth <4374> with you as with sons <5207>; for what <5101> son <5207> is he whom <3739> the father <3962> chasteneth <3811> not? 8 But if <1487> ye be without <5565> chastisement <3809>, whereof <3739> all <3956> are partakers <3353>, then <0686> are ye bastards <3541>, and not sons <5207>. 9 Furthermore <1534> we have <2192> had <2192> fathers <3962> of our flesh <4561> which corrected <3810> [us], and we gave <1788> [them] reverence <1788>: shall we not much <4183> rather <3123> be in subjection <5293> unto the Father <3962> of spirits <4151>, and live <2198>? 10 For they verily <3303> for a few <3641> days <2250> chastened <3811> [us] after <2596> their own <0848> pleasure <1380>; but he for [our] profit <4851>, that [we] might be partakers <3335> of his holiness <0041>. 11 Now <1161> no <3756> chastening <3809> for the present <3918> seemeth <1380> to be joyous <5479>, but grievous <3077>: nevertheless <1161> afterward <5305> it yieldeth <0591> the peaceable <1516> fruit <2590> of righteousness <1343> unto them which are exercised <1128> thereby <0846>. 12 Wherefore <1352> lift <0461> up the hands <5495> which hang <3935> down <3935>, and the feeble <3886> knees <1119>; 13 And make <4160> straight <3717> paths <5163> for your <5216> feet <4228>, lest <3361> that which is lame <5560> be turned <1624> out of the way <1624>; but let it rather <3123> be healed <2390>. 14 Follow <1377> peace <1515> with all <3956> [men], and holiness <0038>, without <5565> which <3739> no <3762> man <3762> shall see <3700> the Lord <2962>: 15 Looking <1983> diligently lest <3361> any <5100> man fail <5302> of the grace <5485> of God <2316>; lest <3361> any <5100> root <4491> of bitterness <4088> springing <5453> up <0507> trouble <1776> [you], and thereby <5026> many <4183> be defiled <3392>; 16 Lest there [be] any <5100> fornicator <4205>, or <2228> profane <0952> person, as Esau <2269>, who <3739> for one <3391> morsel <1035> of meat <1035> sold <0591> his birthright <4415>. 17 For ye know <2467> how <3754> that afterward <3347>, when he would <2309> have inherited <2816> the blessing <2129>, he was rejected <0593>: for he found <2147> no <3756> place <5117> of repentance <3341>, though <2539> he sought <1567> it carefully <1567> with tears <1144>. 18. For ye are not come <4334> unto the mount <3735> that might be touched <5584>, and that burned <2545> with fire <4442>, nor <2532> unto blackness <1105>, and darkness <4655>, and tempest <2366>, 19 And the sound <2279> of a trumpet <4536>, and the voice <5456> of words <4487>; which <3739> [voice] they that heard <0191> intreated <3868> that the word <3056> should not be spoken <4369> to them any <2089> more <4369>: 20 (For they could not endure <5342> that which was commanded <1291>, And if so much <2579> as a beast <2342> touch <2345> the mountain <3735>, it shall be stoned <3036>, or <2228> thrust <2700> through <2700> with a dart <1002>: 21 And so <3779> terrible <5398> was the sight <5324>, [that] Moses <3475> said <2036>, I exceedingly <1630> fear <1510> and quake <1790>:) 22 But ye are come <4334> unto mount <3735> Sion <4622>, and unto the city <4172> of the living <2198> God <2316>, the heavenly <2032> Jerusalem <2419>, and to an innumerable <3461> company <3461> of angels <0032>, 23 To the general assembly <3831> and church <1577> of the firstborn <4416>, which are written <0583> in heaven <3772>, and to God <2316> the Judge <2923> of all <3956>, and to the spirits <4151> of just <1342> men made <5048> perfect <5048>, 24 And to Jesus <2424> the mediator <3316> of the new <3501> covenant <1242>, and to the blood <0129> of sprinkling <4473>, that speaketh <2980> better <2909> things than [that of] Abel <0006>. 25 See <0991> that ye refuse <3868> not him that speaketh <2980>. For if <1487> they escaped <5343> not who refused <3868> him that spake <5537> on <1909> earth <1093>, much <4183> more <3123> [shall not] we [escape], if we turn <0654> away <0654> from him that [speaketh] from heaven <3772>: 26 Whose <3739> voice <5456> then <5119> shook <4531> the earth <1093>: but now <3568> he hath promised <1861>, saying <3004>, Yet <2089> once <0530> more I shake <4579> not the earth <1093> only <3440>, but also <2532> heaven <3772>. 27 And this <3588> [word], Yet <2089> once <0530> more, signifieth <1213> the removing <3331> of those <3588> things that are shaken <4531>, as of things that are made <4160>, that those <3588> things which cannot <3361> be shaken <4531> may remain <3306>. 28 Wherefore <1352> we receiving <3880> a kingdom <0932> which cannot <0761> be moved <0761>, let us have <2192> grace <5485>, whereby <3739> we may serve <3000> God <2316> acceptably <2102> with reverence <0127> and godly fear <2124>: 29 For our God <2316> [is] a consuming <2654> fire <4442>. Hebrews 13 1. Let brotherly <5360> love <5360> continue <3306>. 2 Be not forgetful <1950> to entertain <5381> strangers <5381>: for thereby <5026> some <5100> have entertained <3579> angels <0032> unawares <2990>. 3 Remember <3403> them that are in bonds <1198>, as bound <4887> with them; [and] them which suffer <2558> adversity <2558>, as being <5607> yourselves <0846> also <2532> in the body <4983>. 4 Marriage <1062> [is] honourable <5093> in all <3956>, and the bed <2845> undefiled <0283>: but whoremongers <4205> and adulterers <3432> God <2316> will judge <2919>. 5 [Let your] conversation <5158> [be] without <0866> covetousness <0866>; [and be] content <0714> with such <3588> things as ye have <3918>: for he hath said <2046>, I will never <3364> leave <0447> thee, nor <3364> forsake <1459> thee. 6 So <5620> that we may boldly <2292> say <3004>, The Lord <2962> [is] my helper <0998>, and I will not fear <5399> what <5101> man <0444> shall do unto me. 7 Remember <3421> them which have the rule <2233> over you, who <3748> have spoken <2980> unto you the word <3056> of God <2316>: whose <3739> faith <4102> follow <3401>, considering <0333> the end <1545> of [their] conversation <0391>. 8 Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> the same <0846> yesterday <5504>, and to day <4594>, and for ever <0165>. 9 Be not carried <4064> about <4064> with divers <4164> and strange <3581> doctrines <1322>. For [it is] a good <2570> thing that the heart <2588> be established <0950> with grace <5485>; not with meats <1033>, which <3739> have not profited <5623> them that have been occupied <4043> therein. 10 We have <2192> an altar <2379>, whereof <3739> they have <2192> no <3756> right <1849> to eat <5315> which serve <3000> the tabernacle <4633>. 11 For the bodies <4983> of those <5130> beasts <2226>, whose <3739> blood <0129> is brought <1533> into <1519> the sanctuary <0039> by the high <0749> priest <0749> for sin <0266>, are burned <2618> without <1854> the camp <3925>. 12 Wherefore <1352> Jesus <2424> also <2532>, that he might sanctify <0037> the people <2992> with his own <2398> blood <0129>, suffered <3958> without <1854> the gate <4439>. 13 Let us go <1831> forth <1831> therefore <5106> unto him without <1854> the camp <3925>, bearing <5342> his reproach <3680>. 14 For here <5602> have <2192> we no <3756> continuing <3306> city <4172>, but we seek <1934> one to come <3195>. 15 By him therefore <3767> let us offer <0399> the sacrifice <2378> of praise <0133> to God <2316> continually <1275>, that is, the fruit <2590> of [our] lips <5491> giving thanks <3670> to his name <3686>. 16 But to do <2140> good <2140> and to communicate <2842> forget <1950> not: for with such <5108> sacrifices <2378> God <2316> is well <2100> pleased <2100>. 17 Obey <3982> them that have the rule <2233> over you, and submit <5226> yourselves <5216>: for they watch <0069> for your <5216> souls <5590>, as they that must give <0591> account <3056>, that they may do <4160> it with joy <5479>, and not with grief <4727>: for that [is] unprofitable <0255> for you. 18. Pray <4336> for us: for we trust <3982> we have <2192> a good <2570> conscience <4893>, in all <3956> things willing <2309> to live <0390> honestly <2573>. 19 But I beseech <3870> [you] the rather <4056> to do <4160> this <5124>, that I may be restored <0600> to you the sooner <5032>. 20 Now <1161> the God <2316> of peace <1515>, that brought <0321> again <0321> from the dead <3498> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, that great <3173> shepherd <4166> of the sheep <4263>, through <1722> the blood <0129> of the everlasting <0166> covenant <1242>, 21 Make <2675> you perfect <2675> in every <3956> good <0018> work <2041> to do <4160> his will <2307>, working <4160> in you that which is wellpleasing <2101> in his sight <1799>, through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; to whom <3739> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever <0165>. Amen <0281>. 22 And I beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, suffer <0430> the word <3056> of exhortation <3874>: for I have written <1989> a letter <1989> unto you in few <1024> words. 23 Know <1097> ye that [our] brother <0080> Timothy <5095> is set <0630> at <0630> liberty <0630>; with whom <3739>, if <1437> he come <2064> shortly <5032>, I will see <3700> you. 24 Salute <0782> all <3956> them that have the rule <2233> over you, and all <3956> the saints <0040>. They of Italy <2482> salute <0782> you. 25 Grace <5485> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>.  ~~~~~~
