Galatians (A. D. 49)
48N 1 1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor
through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from
among [the] dead,
48N 1 2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
48N 1 3 Grace
to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
48N 1 4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;
48N 1 5 to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
48N 1 6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
48N 1 7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
48N 1 8 But if even *we* or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
48N 1 9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
48N 1 10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
48N 1 11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
48N 1 12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
48N 1 13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
48N 1 14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
48N 1 15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
48N 1 16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
48N 1 17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
48N 1 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
48N 1 19 but
I saw none other of the apostles, but
48N 1 20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
48N 1 21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
48N 1 22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
48N 1 23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
48N 1 24 and they glorified God in me.
48N 2 1 Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
48N 2 2 and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
48N 2 3 (but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised;)
48N 2 4 and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
48N 2 5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
48N 2 6 But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat -- whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
48N 2 7 but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
48N 2 8 (for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles,)
48N 2 9 and
recognising the grace given to me,
48N 2 10 only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
48N 2 11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
48N 2 12 for
before that certain came from
48N 2 13 and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
48N 2 14 But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
48N 2 15 We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
48N 2 16 but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
48N 2 17 Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
48N 2 18 For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
48N 2 19 For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
48N 2 20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, *I*, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
48N 2 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
48N 3 1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?
48N 3 2 This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
48N 3 3 Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?
48N 3 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?
48N 3 5 He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
48N 3 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
48N 3 7 Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;
48N 3 8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.
48N 3 9 So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
48N 3 10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;
48N 3 11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
48N 3 12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
48N 3 13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)
48N 3 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
48N 3 15 Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.
48N 3 16 But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.
48N 3 17 Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
48N 3 18 For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.
48N 3 19 Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.
48N 3 20 But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
48N 3 21 [Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;
48N 3 22 but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.
48N 3 23 But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.
48N 3 24 So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
48N 3 25 But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
48N 3 26 for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
48N 3 27 For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.
48N 3 28 There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:
48N 3 29 but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
48N 4 1 Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;
48N 4 2 but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.
48N 4 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles of the world;
48N 4 4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,
48N 4 5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
48N 4 6 But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
48N 4 7 So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
48N 4 8 But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods;
48N 4 9 but now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?
48N 4 10 Ye observe days and months and times and years.
48N 4 11 I am afraid of you, lest indeed I have laboured in vain as to you.
48N 4 12 Be as *I* [am], for *I* also [am] as *ye*, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.
48N 4 13 But ye know that in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
48N 4 14 and my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
48N 4 15 What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.
48N 4 16 So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you?
48N 4 17 They are not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after them.
48N 4 18 But [it is] right to be zealous at all times in what is right, and not only when I am present with you --
48N 4 19 my children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:
48N 4 20 and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to you.
48N 4 21 Tell me, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to the law?
48N 4 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.
48N 4 23 But he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the promise.
48N 4 24 Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.
48N 4 25 For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children;
48N 4 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
48N 4 27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband.
48N 4 28 But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise.
48N 4 29 But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now.
48N 4 30 But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
48N 4 31 So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.
48N 5 1 Christ has set us free in freedom; stand fast therefore, and be not held again in a yoke of bondage.
48N 5 2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if ye are circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
48N 5 3 And I witness again to every man [who is] circumcised, that he is debtor to do the whole law.
48N 5 4 Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace.
48N 5 5 For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness.
48N 5 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
48N 5 7 Ye ran well; who has stopped you that ye should not obey the truth?
48N 5 8 The persuasibleness [is] not of him that calls you.
48N 5 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
48N 5 10 *I* have confidence as to you in [the] Lord, that ye will have no other mind; and he that is troubling you shall bear the guilt [of it], whosoever he may be.
48N 5 11 But *I*, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then the scandal of the cross has been done away.
48N 5 12 I would that they would even cut themselves off who throw you into confusion.
48N 5 13 For *ye* have been called to liberty, brethren; only [do] not [turn] liberty into an opportunity to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
48N 5 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;
48N 5 15 but if ye bite and devour one another, see that ye are not consumed one of another.
48N 5 16 But I say, Walk in [the] Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
48N 5 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
48N 5 18 but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
48N 5 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
48N 5 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
48N 5 21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
48N 5 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
48N 5 23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
48N 5 24 But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.
48N 5 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us walk also by the Spirit.
48N 5 26 Let us not become vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
48N 6 1 Brethren, if even a man be taken in some fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest *thou* also be tempted.
48N 6 2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law of the Christ.
48N 6 3 For if any man reputes himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself;
48N 6 4 but let each prove his own work, and then he will have his boast in what belongs to himself alone, and not in what belongs to another.
48N 6 5 For each shall bear his own burden.
48N 6 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.
48N 6 7 Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man shall sow, that also shall he reap.
48N 6 8 For he that sows to his own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh; but he that sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap eternal life:
48N 6 9 but let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.
48N 6 10 So then, as we have occasion, let us do good towards all, and specially towards those of the household of faith.
48N 6 11 See how long a letter I have written to you with my own hand.
48N 6 12 As many as desire to have a fair appearance in [the] flesh, these compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted because of the cross of Christ.
48N 6 13 For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
48N 6 14 But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
48N 6 15 For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation.
48N 6 16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
48N 6 17 For the rest let no one trouble me, for *I* bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.
48N 6 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
59N 1 1
59N 1 2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
59N 1 3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
59N 1 4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
59N 1 5 But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
59N 1 6 but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
59N 1 7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
59N 1 8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
59N 1 9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
59N 1 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
59N 1 11 For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
59N 1 12 Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
59N 1 13 Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
59N 1 14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
59N 1 15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
59N 1 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
59N 1 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
59N 1 18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures.
59N 1 19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
59N 1 20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
59N 1 21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
59N 1 22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
59N 1 23 For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, *he* is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
59N 1 24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
59N 1 25 But *he* that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, *he* shall be blessed in his doing.
59N 1 26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
59N 1 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
59N 2 1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:
59N 2 2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,
59N 2 3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
59N 2 4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?
59N 2 5 Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?
59N 2 6 But *ye* have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals?
59N 2 7 And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
59N 2 8 If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
59N 2 9 But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
59N 2 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.
59N 2 11 For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law.
59N 2 12 So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;
59N 2 13 for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
59N 2 14 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him?
59N 2 15 Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
59N 2 16 and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
59N 2 17 So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.
59N 2 18 But some one will say, *Thou* hast faith and *I* have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and *I* from my works will shew thee my faith.
59N 2 19 *Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.
59N 2 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
59N 2 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
59N 2 22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
59N 2 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
59N 2 24 Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
59N 2 25 But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way?
59N 2 26 For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
59N 3 1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
59N 3 2 For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.
59N 3 3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
59N 3 4 Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
59N 3 5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
59N 3 6 and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
59N 3 7 For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;
59N 3 8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
59N 3 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
59N 3 10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
59N 3 11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
59N 3 12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
59N 3 13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
59N 3 14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
59N 3 15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
59N 3 16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
59N 3 17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
59N 3 18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
59N 4 1 Whence [come] wars and whence fightings among you? [Is it] not thence, -- from your pleasures, which war in your members?
59N 4 2 Ye lust and have not: ye kill and are full of envy, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war; ye have not because ye ask not.
59N 4 3 Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] in your pleasures.
59N 4 4 Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be [the] friend of the world is constituted enemy of God.
59N 4 5 Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?
59N 4 6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God sets himself against [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] lowly.
59N 4 7 Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
59N 4 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands, sinners, and purify [your] hearts, ye double-minded.
59N 4 9 Be wretched, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
59N 4 10 Humble yourselves before [the] Lord, and he shall exalt you.
59N 4 11 Speak not against one another, brethren. He that speaks against [his] brother, or judges his brother, speaks against [the] law and judges [the] law. But if thou judgest [the] law, thou art not doer of [the] law, but judge.
59N 4 12 One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thy neighbour?
59N 4 13 Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,
59N 4 14 ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,)
59N 4 15 instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.
59N 4 16 But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
59N 4 17 To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
59N 5 1 Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].
59N 5 2 Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
59N 5 3 Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] last days.
59N 5 4 Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.
59N 5 5 Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;
59N 5 6 ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
59N 5 7 Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.
59N 5 8 *Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
59N 5 9 Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
59N 5 10 Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.
59N 5 11 Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.
59N 5 12 But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.
59N 5 13 Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.
59N 5 14 Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of [the] Lord;
59N 5 15 and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
59N 5 16 Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power.
59N 5 17 Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;
59N 5 18 and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
59N 5 19 My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,
59N 5 20 let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.
1 Thessalonians (A. D. 51)
52N 1 1 Paul
and Silvanus and
52N 1 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,
52N 1 3 remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
52N 1 4 knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
52N 1 5 For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:
52N 1 6 and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,
52N 1 7 so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:
52N 1 8 for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;
52N 1 9 for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
52N 1 10 and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
52N 2 1 For ye know yourselves, brethren, our entering in which [we had] to you, that it has not been in vain;
52N 2 2 but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
52N 2 3 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
52N 2 4 but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
52N 2 5 For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;
52N 2 6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
52N 2 7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
52N 2 8 Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.
52N 2 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.
52N 2 10 *Ye* [are] witnesses, and God, how piously and righteously and blamelessly we have conducted ourselves with you that believe:
52N 2 11 as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,
52N 2 12 that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
52N 2 13 And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
52N 2 14 For *ye*, brethren, have become imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for *ye* also have suffered the same things of your own countrymen as also *they* of the Jews,
52N 2 15 who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men,
52N 2 16 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
52N 2 17 But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;
52N 2 18 wherefore we have desired to come to you, even I Paul, both once and twice, and Satan has hindered us.
52N 2 19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? [are] not *ye* also before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
52N 2 20 for ye are our glory and joy.
52N 3 1 Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,
52N 3 2 and
sent
52N 3 3 that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;
52N 3 4 for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)
52N 3 5 For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.
52N 3 6 But
52N 3 7 for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith,
52N 3 8 because now we live if *ye* stand firm in [the] Lord.
52N 3 9 For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our God,
52N 3 10 night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
52N 3 11 But our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
52N 3 12 But you, may the Lord make to exceed and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also towards you,
52N 3 13 in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
52N 4 1 For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in [the] Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.
52N 4 2 For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
52N 4 3 For this is [the] will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;
52N 4 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour,
52N 4 5 (not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)
52N 4 6 not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified.
52N 4 7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
52N 4 8 He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.
52N 4 9 Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to you, for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
52N 4 10 For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more,
52N 4 11 and to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work with your [own] hands, even as we charged you,
52N 4 12 that ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one.
52N 4 13 But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no hope.
52N 4 14 For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
52N 4 15 (For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that *we*, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep;
52N 4 16 for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
52N 4 17 then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord.
52N 4 18 So encourage one another with these words.)
52N 5 1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,
52N 5 2 for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.
52N 5 3 When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
52N 5 4 But *ye*, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:
52N 5 5 for all *ye* are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
52N 5 6 So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
52N 5 7 for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;
52N 5 8 but *we* being of [the] day, let us be sober, putting on [the] breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet [the] hope of salvation;
52N 5 9 because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
52N 5 10 who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.
52N 5 11 Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do.
52N 5 12 But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] Lord, and admonish you,
52N 5 13 and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.
52N 5 14 But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.
52N 5 15 See that no one render to any evil for evil, but pursue always what is good towards one another and towards all;
52N 5 16 rejoice always;
52N 5 17 pray unceasingly;
52N 5 18 in everything give thanks, for this is [the] will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;
52N 5 19 quench not the Spirit;
52N 5 20 do not lightly esteem prophecies;
52N 5 21 but prove all things, hold fast the right;
52N 5 22 hold aloof from every form of wickedness.
52N 5 23 Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
52N 5 24 He [is] faithful who calls you, who will also perform [it].
52N 5 25 Brethren, pray for us.
52N 5 26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
52N 5 27 I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the [holy] brethren.
52N 5 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
2 Thessalonians (A. D. 52)
53N 1 1 Paul
and Silvanus and
53N 1 2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
53N 1 3 We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;
53N 1 4 so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;
53N 1 5 a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which ye also suffer;
53N 1 6 if at least [it is a] righteous thing with God to render tribulation to those that trouble you,
53N 1 7 and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with [the] angels of his power,
53N 1 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ;
53N 1 9 who shall pay the penalty [of] everlasting destruction from [the] presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,
53N 1 10 when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed,) in that day.
53N 1 11 To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all [the] good pleasure of [his] goodness and [the] work of faith with power,
53N 1 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus [Christ] may be glorified in you and *ye* in him, according to the grace of our God, and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
53N 2 1 Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,
53N 2 2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as [if it were] by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.
53N 2 3 Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because [it will not be] unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;
53N 2 4 who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
53N 2 5 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, I said these things to you?
53N 2 6 And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own time.
53N 2 7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,
53N 2 8 and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;
53N 2 9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,
53N 2 10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.
53N 2 11 And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,
53N 2 12 that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.
53N 2 13 But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of [the] Lord, that God has chosen you from [the] beginning to salvation in sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth:
53N 2 14 whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
53N 2 15 So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.
53N 2 16 But our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us, and given [us] eternal consolation and good hope by grace,
53N 2 17 encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.
53N 3 1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;
53N 3 2 and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.
53N 3 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.
53N 3 4 But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.
53N 3 5 But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.
53N 3 6 Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.
53N 3 7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
53N 3 8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
53N 3 9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
53N 3 10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.
53N 3 11 For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.
53N 3 12 Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.
53N 3 13 But *ye*, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.
53N 3 14 But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;
53N 3 15 and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
53N 3 16 But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
53N 3 17 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.
53N 3 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
1 Corinthians (A. D. 55)
46N 1 1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
46N 1 2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
46N 1 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
46N 1 4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
46N 1 5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
46N 1 6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,)
46N 1 7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
46N 1 8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
46N 1 9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
46N 1 10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
46N 1 11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
46N 1 12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ.
46N 1 13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
46N 1 14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
46N 1 15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
46N 1 16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
46N 1 17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
46N 1 18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
46N 1 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
46N 1 20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
46N 1 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
46N 1 22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
46N 1 23 but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
46N 1 24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
46N 1 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
46N 1 26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
46N 1 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
46N 1 28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
46N 1 29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
46N 1 30 But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
46N 1 31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
46N 2 1 And *I*, when I came to you, brethren, came not in excellency of word, or wisdom, announcing to you the testimony of God.
46N 2 2 For I did not judge [it well] to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.
46N 2 3 And *I* was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling;
46N 2 4 and my word and my preaching, not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power;
46N 2 5 that your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in God's power.
46N 2 6 But we speak wisdom among the perfect; but wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to nought.
46N 2 7 But we speak God's wisdom in [a] mystery, that hidden [wisdom] which God had predetermined before the ages for our glory:
46N 2 8 which none of the princes of this age knew, (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;)
46N 2 9 but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,
46N 2 10 but God has revealed to us by [his] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
46N 2 11 For who of men hath known the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? thus also the things of God knows no one except the Spirit of God.
46N 2 12 But *we* have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which [is] of God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us of God:
46N 2 13 which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual [things] by spiritual [means].
46N 2 14 But [the] natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him; and he cannot know [them] because they are spiritually discerned;
46N 2 15 but the spiritual discerns all things, and *he* is discerned of no one.
46N 2 16 For who has known the mind of [the] Lord, who shall instruct him? But *we* have the mind of Christ.
46N 3 1 And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
46N 3 2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
46N 3 3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
46N 3 4 For when one says, *I* am of Paul, and another, *I* of Apollos, are ye not men?
46N 3 5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
46N 3 6 *I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
46N 3 7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
46N 3 8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
46N 3 9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
46N 3 10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
46N 3 11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
46N 3 12 Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
46N 3 13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.
46N 3 14 If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
46N 3 15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
46N 3 16 Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
46N 3 17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.
46N 3 18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.
46N 3 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
46N 3 20 And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
46N 3 21 So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
46N 3 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;
46N 3 23 and *ye* [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
46N 4 1 Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries of God.
46N 4 2 Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
46N 4 3 But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.
46N 4 4 For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.
46N 4 5 So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from God.
46N 4 6 Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.
46N 4 7 For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
46N 4 8 Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that *we* also might reign with you.
46N 4 9 For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
46N 4 10 *We* [are] fools for Christ's sake, but *ye* prudent in Christ: *we* weak, but *ye* strong: *ye* glorious, but *we* in dishonour.
46N 4 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
46N 4 12 and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];
46N 4 13 insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.
46N 4 14 Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
46N 4 15 For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings.
46N 4 16 I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
46N 4 17 For
this reason I have sent to you
46N 4 18 But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;
46N 4 19 but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power.
46N 4 20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.
46N 4 21 What will ye? that I come to you with a rod; or in love, and [in] a spirit of meekness?
46N 5 1 It is universally reported [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as [is] not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.
46N 5 2 And *ye* are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.
46N 5 3 For *I*, [as] absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged as present,
46N 5 4 [to deliver,] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (ye and my spirit being gathered together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ), him that has so wrought this:
46N 5 5 to deliver him, [I say,] [being] such, to Satan for destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
46N 5 6 Your boasting [is] not good. Do ye not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
46N 5 7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened. For also our passover, Christ, has been sacrificed;
46N 5 8 so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.
46N 5 9 I have written to you in the epistle not to mix with fornicators;
46N 5 10 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since [then] ye should go out of the world.
46N 5 11 But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with [him]; with such a one not even to eat.
46N 5 12 For what have *I* [to do] with judging those outside also? *ye*, do not ye judge them that are within?
46N 5 13 But those without God judges. Remove the wicked person from amongst yourselves.
46N 6 1 Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, prosecute his suit before the unjust, and not before the saints?
46N 6 2 Do ye not then know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of [the] smallest judgments?
46N 6 3 Do ye not know that we shall judge angels? and not then matters of this life?
46N 6 4 If then ye have judgments as to things of this life, set those [to judge] who are little esteemed in the assembly.
46N 6 5 I speak to you [to put you] to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!
46N 6 6 But brother prosecutes his suit with brother, and that before unbelievers.
46N 6 7 Already indeed then it is altogether a fault in you that ye have suits between yourselves. Why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why are ye not rather defrauded?
46N 6 8 But *ye* do wrong, and defraud, and this [your] brethren.
46N 6 9 Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men,
46N 6 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.
46N 6 11 And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
46N 6 12 All things are lawful to me, but all things do not profit; all things are lawful to me, but *I* will not be brought under the power of any.
46N 6 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will bring to nothing both it and them: but the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
46N 6 14 And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among [the dead] by his power.
46N 6 15 Do ye not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then, taking the members of the Christ, make [them] members of a harlot? Far be the thought.
46N 6 16 Do ye not know that he [that is] joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesh.
46N 6 17 But he that [is] joined to the Lord is one Spirit.
46N 6 18 Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
46N 6 19 Do ye not know that your body is [the] temple of the Holy Spirit which [is] in you, which ye have of God; and ye are not your own?
46N 6 20 for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.
46N 7 1 But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;
46N 7 2 but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband.
46N 7 3 Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.
46N 7 4 The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.
46N 7 5 Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.
46N 7 6 But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it].
46N 7 7 Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.
46N 7 8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I.
46N 7 9 But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
46N 7 10 But to the married I enjoin, not *I*, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;
46N 7 11 (but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.
46N 7 12 But as to the rest, *I* say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and *she* consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
46N 7 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband.
46N 7 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since [otherwise] indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
46N 7 15 But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such [cases], but God has called us in peace.
46N 7 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife?
46N 7 17 However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.
46N 7 18 Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
46N 7 19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments.
46N 7 20 Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.
46N 7 21 Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather.
46N 7 22 For the bondman that is called in [the] Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman being called is Christ's bondman.
46N 7 23 Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men.
46N 7 24 Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.
46N 7 25 But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of [the] Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful.
46N 7 26 I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to remain so as he is.
46N 7 27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.
46N 7 28 But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.
46N 7 29 But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]:
46N 7 30 and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
46N 7 31 and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
46N 7 32 But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
46N 7 33 but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
46N 7 34 There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
46N 7 35 But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction.
46N 7 36 But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.
46N 7 37 But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well.
46N 7 38 So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better.
46N 7 39 A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in [the] Lord.
46N 7 40 But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that *I* also have God's Spirit.
46N 8 1 But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
46N 8 2 If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it].
46N 8 3 But if any one love God, *he* is known of him):
46N 8 4 -- concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one.
46N 8 5 For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,)
46N 8 6 yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and *we* by him.
46N 8 7 But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
46N 8 8 But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
46N 8 9 But see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.
46N 8 10 For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?
46N 8 11 and the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.
46N 8 12 Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
46N 8 13 Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother.
46N 9 1 Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not *ye* my work in [the] Lord?
46N 9 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet at any rate I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are *ye* in [the] Lord.
46N 9 3 My defence to those who examine me is this:
46N 9 4 Have we not a right to eat and to drink?
46N 9 5 have we not a right to take round a sister [as] wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
46N 9 6 Or *I* alone and Barnabas, have we not a right not to work?
46N 9 7 Who ever carries on war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? or who herds a flock and does not eat of the milk of the flock?
46N 9 8 Do I speak these things as a man, or does not the law also say these things?
46N 9 9 For
in the law of
46N 9 10 or does he say [it] altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking of [it].
46N 9 11 If we have sown to you spiritual things, [is it a] great [thing] if *we* shall reap your carnal things?
46N 9 12 If others partake of this right over you, should not rather *we*? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.
46N 9 13 Do ye not know that they who labour [at] sacred things eat of the [offerings offered in the] temple; they that attend at the altar partake with the altar?
46N 9 14 So also the Lord has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to live of the glad tidings.
46N 9 15 But *I* have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for [it were] good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.
46N 9 16 For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.
46N 9 17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.
46N 9 18 What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless [to others], so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in [announcing] the glad tidings.
46N 9 19 For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most [possible].
46N 9 20 And I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law:
46N 9 21 to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain [those] without law.
46N 9 22 I became to the weak, [as] weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.
46N 9 23 And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.
46N 9 24 Know ye not that they who run in [the] race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.
46N 9 25 But every one that contends [for a prize] is temperate in all things: *they* then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but *we* an incorruptible.
46N 9 26 *I* therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; so I combat, as not beating the air.
46N 9 27 But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest [after] having preached to others I should be myself rejected.
46N 10 1 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
46N 10 2 and
all were baptised unto
46N 10 3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
46N 10 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed [them]: (now the rock was the Christ;)
46N 10 5 yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.
46N 10 6 But these things happened [as] types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.
46N 10 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
46N 10 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
46N 10 9 Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
46N 10 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
46N 10 11 Now all these things happened to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
46N 10 12 So that let him that thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
46N 10 13 No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it].
46N 10 14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
46N 10 15 I speak as to intelligent [persons]: do *ye* judge what I say.
46N 10 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not [the] communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not [the] communion of the body of the Christ?
46N 10 17 Because we, [being] many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
46N 10 18 See Israel according to flesh: are not they who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?
46N 10 19 What then do I say? that what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
46N 10 20 But that what [the nations] sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.
46N 10 21 Ye cannot drink [the] Lord's cup, and [the] cup of demons: ye cannot partake of [the] Lord's table, and of [the] table of demons.
46N 10 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
46N 10 23 All things are lawful, but all are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all do not edify.
46N 10 24 Let no one seek his own [advantage], but that of the other.
46N 10 25 Everything sold in the shambles eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
46N 10 26 For the earth [is] the Lord's and its fulness.
46N 10 27 But if any one of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are minded to go, all that is set before you eat, making no inquiry for conscience sake.
46N 10 28 But if any one say to you, This is offered to holy purposes, do not eat, for his sake that pointed it out, and conscience sake;
46N 10 29 but conscience, I mean, not thine own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
46N 10 30 If *I* partake with thanksgiving, why am I spoken evil of for what *I* give thanks for?
46N 10 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all things to God's glory.
46N 10 32 Give no occasion to stumbling, whether to Jews, or Greeks, or the assembly of God.
46N 10 33 Even as *I* also please all in all things; not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
46N 11 1 Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
46N 11 2 Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.
46N 11 3 But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.
46N 11 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.
46N 11 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].
46N 11 6 For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
46N 11 7 For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
46N 11 8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
46N 11 9 For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
46N 11 10 Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
46N 11 11 However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.
46N 11 12 For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.
46N 11 13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
46N 11 14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
46N 11 15 But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.
46N 11 16 But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
46N 11 17 But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
46N 11 18 For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].
46N 11 19 For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.
46N 11 20 When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.
46N 11 21 For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.
46N 11 22 Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.
46N 11 23 For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
46N 11 24 and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.
46N 11 25 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.
46N 11 26 For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.
46N 11 27 So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
46N 11 28 But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
46N 11 29 For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
46N 11 30 On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.
46N 11 31 But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.
46N 11 32 But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
46N 11 33 So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
46N 11 34 If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
46N 12 1 But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
46N 12 2 Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led.
46N 12 3 I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.
46N 12 4 But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
46N 12 5 and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
46N 12 6 and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
46N 12 7 But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
46N 12 8 For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
46N 12 9 and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;
46N 12 10 and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
46N 12 11 But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
46N 12 12 For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.
46N 12 13 For also in [the power of] one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
46N 12 14 For also the body is not one member but many.
46N 12 15 If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
46N 12 16 And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
46N 12 17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
46N 12 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
46N 12 19 But if all were one member, where the body?
46N 12 20 But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
46N 12 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
46N 12 22 But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
46N 12 23 and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
46N 12 24 but our comely [parts] have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;
46N 12 25 that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
46N 12 26 And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
46N 12 27 Now *ye* are Christ's body, and members in particular.
46N 12 28 And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
46N 12 29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?
46N 12 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
46N 12 31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
46N 13 1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
46N 13 2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
46N 13 3 And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.
46N 13 4 Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,
46N 13 5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
46N 13 6 does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,
46N 13 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
46N 13 8 Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.
46N 13 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:
46N 13 10 but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
46N 13 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.
46N 13 12 For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.
46N 13 13 And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.
46N 14 1 Follow after love, and be emulous of spiritual [manifestations], but rather that ye may prophesy.
46N 14 2 For he that speaks with a tongue does not speak to men but to God: for no one hears; but in spirit he speaks mysteries.
46N 14 3 But he that prophesies speaks to men [in] edification, and encouragement, and consolation.
46N 14 4 He that speaks with a tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies [the] assembly.
46N 14 5 Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
46N 14 6 And now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?
46N 14 7 Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
46N 14 8 For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?
46N 14 9 Thus also *ye* with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.
46N 14 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.
46N 14 11 If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.
46N 14 12 Thus *ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.
46N 14 13 Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.
46N 14 14 For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
46N 14 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing also with the understanding.
46N 14 16 Since otherwise, if thou blessest with [the] spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple [Christian] say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?
46N 14 17 For *thou* indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
46N 14 18 I thank God I speak in a tongue more than all of you:
46N 14 19 but in [the] assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, [rather] than ten thousand words in a tongue.
46N 14 20 Brethren, be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men].
46N 14 21 It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.
46N 14 22 So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.
46N 14 23 If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple [persons] enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?
46N 14 24 But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple [person] come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;
46N 14 25 the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon [his] face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you.
46N 14 26 What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each [of you] has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.
46N 14 27 If any one speak with a tongue, [let it be] two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;
46N 14 28 but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in [the] assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
46N 14 29 And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
46N 14 30 But if there be a revelation to another sitting [there], let the first be silent.
46N 14 31 For ye can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all be encouraged.
46N 14 32 And spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
46N 14 33 For God is not [a God] of disorder but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
46N 14 34 Let [your] women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.
46N 14 35 But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.
46N 14 36 Did the word of God go out from you, or did it come to you only?
46N 14 37 If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is [the] Lord's commandment.
46N 14 38 But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
46N 14 39 So that, brethren, desire to prophesy, and do not forbid the speaking with tongues.
46N 14 40 But let all things be done comelily and with order.
46N 15 1 But I make known to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to you, which also ye received, in which also ye stand,
46N 15 2 by which also ye are saved, (if ye hold fast the word which I announced to you as the glad tidings,) unless indeed ye have believed in vain.
46N 15 3 For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;
46N 15 4 and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;
46N 15 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
46N 15 6 Then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the most remain until now, but some also have fallen asleep.
46N 15 7 Then
he appeared to
46N 15 8 and last of all, as to an abortion, he appeared to *me* also.
46N 15 9 For *I* am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called apostle, because I have persecuted the assembly of God.
46N 15 10 But by God's grace I am what I am; and his grace, which [was] towards me, has not been vain; but I have laboured more abundantly than they all, but not *I*, but the grace of God which [was] with me.
46N 15 11 Whether, therefore, I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye have believed.
46N 15 12 Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among [the] dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead?
46N 15 13 But if there is not a resurrection of [those that are] dead, neither is Christ raised:
46N 15 14 but if Christ is not raised, then, indeed, vain also [is] our preaching, and vain also your faith.
46N 15 15 And we are found also false witnesses of God; for we have witnessed concerning God that he raised the Christ, whom he has not raised if indeed [those that are] dead are not raised.
46N 15 16 For if [those that are] dead are not raised, neither is Christ raised;
46N 15 17 but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
46N 15 18 Then indeed also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
46N 15 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are [the] most miserable of all men.
46N 15 20 (But now Christ is raised from among [the] dead, first-fruits of those fallen asleep.
46N 15 21 For since by man [came] death, by man also resurrection of [those that are] dead.
46N 15 22 For as in the Adam all die, thus also in the Christ all shall be made alive.
46N 15 23 But each in his own rank: [the] first-fruits, Christ; then those that are the Christ's at his coming.
46N 15 24 Then the end, when he gives up the kingdom to him [who is] God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule and all authority and power.
46N 15 25 For he must reign until he put all enemies under his feet.
46N 15 26 [The] last enemy [that] is annulled [is] death.
46N 15 27 For he has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says that all things are put in subjection, [it is] evident that [it is] except him who put all things in subjection to him.
46N 15 28 But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)
46N 15 29 Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if [those that are] dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?
46N 15 30 Why do *we* also endanger ourselves every hour?
46N 15 31 Daily I die, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
46N 15 32 If, [to speak] after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if [those that are] dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
46N 15 33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
46N 15 34 Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.
46N 15 35 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
46N 15 36 Fool; what *thou* sowest is not quickened unless it die.
46N 15 37 And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain: it may be of wheat, or some one of the rest:
46N 15 38 and God gives to it a body as he has pleased, and to each of the seeds its own body.
46N 15 39 Every flesh [is] not the same flesh, but one [is] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another [flesh] of birds, and another of fishes.
46N 15 40 And [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:
46N 15 41 one [the] sun's glory, and another [the] moon's glory, and another [the] stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.
46N 15 42 Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
46N 15 43 It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
46N 15 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [one].
46N 15 45 Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.
46N 15 46 But that which is spiritual [was] not first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual:
46N 15 47 the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.
46N 15 48 Such as he made of dust, such also those made of dust; and such as the heavenly [one], such also the heavenly [ones].
46N 15 49 And as we have borne the image of the [one] made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly [one].
46N 15 50 But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
46N 15 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
46N 15 52 in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *we* shall be changed.
46N 15 53 For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.
46N 15 54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.
46N 15 55 Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?
46N 15 56 Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;
46N 15 57 but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.
46N 15 58 So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.
46N 16 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so do *ye* do also.
46N 16 2 On [the] first of [the] week let each of you put by at home, laying up [in] whatever [degree] he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
46N 16 3 And when I am arrived, whomsoever ye shall approve, these I will send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem:
46N 16 4 and if it be suitable that *I* also should go, they shall go with me.
46N 16 5 But I will come to you when I shall have gone through Macedonia; for I do go through Macedonia.
46N 16 6 But perhaps I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that *ye* may set me forward wheresoever I may go.
46N 16 7 For I will not see you now in passing, for I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord permit.
46N 16 8 But I remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
46N 16 9 For a great door is opened to me and an effectual [one], and [the] adversaries many.
46N 16 10 Now
if
46N 16 11 Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
46N 16 12 Now concerning the brother Apollos, I begged him much that he would go to you with the brethren; but it was not at all [his] will to go now; but he will come when he shall have good opportunity.
46N 16 13 Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.
46N 16 14 Let all things ye do be done in love.
46N 16 15 But I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the saints for service,)
46N 16 16 that *ye* should also be subject to such, and to every one joined in the work and labouring.
46N 16 17 But I rejoice in the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because *they* have supplied what was lacking on your part.
46N 16 18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: own therefore such.
46N 16 19 The assemblies of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house, salute you much in [the] Lord.
46N 16 20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
46N 16 21 The salutation of [me] Paul with my own hand.
46N 16 22 If any one love not the Lord [Jesus Christ] let him be Anathema Maranatha.
46N 16 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
46N 16 24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
48N 1 1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
2 Corinthians (A. D. 57)
47N 1 1 Paul,
apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother
47N 1 2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
47N 1 3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
47N 1 4 who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
47N 1 5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
47N 1 6 But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer,
47N 1 7 (and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
47N 1 8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
47N 1 9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
47N 1 10 who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
47N 1 11 ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
47N 1 12 For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
47N 1 13 For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
47N 1 14 even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
47N 1 15 And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
47N 1 16 and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
47N 1 17 Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
47N 1 18 Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
47N 1 19 For
the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus
and
47N 1 20 For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
47N 1 21 Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
47N 1 22 who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
47N 1 23 But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
47N 1 24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
47N 2 1 But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.
47N 2 2 For if *I* grieve you, who also [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?
47N 2 3 And I have written this very [letter] [to you], that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is [that] of you all.
47N 2 4 For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.
47N 2 5 But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.
47N 2 6 Sufficient to such a one [is] this rebuke which [has been inflicted] by the many;
47N 2 7 so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief.
47N 2 8 Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of [your] love.
47N 2 9 For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.
47N 2 10 But to whom ye forgive anything, *I* also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ;
47N 2 11 that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of *his* thoughts.
47N 2 12 Now when I came to Troas for the [publication of the] glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in [the] Lord,
47N 2 13 I had no rest in my spirit at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.
47N 2 14 But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
47N 2 15 For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish:
47N 2 16 to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who [is] sufficient for these things?
47N 2 17 For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.
47N 3 1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some, commendatory letters to you, or [commendatory] from you?
47N 3 2 *Ye* are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read of all men,
47N 3 3 being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart.
47N 3 4 And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God:
47N 3 5 not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of God;
47N 3 6 who has also made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.
47N 3 7 (But
if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of
Israel could not fix their eyes on the
face of
47N 3 8 how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?
47N 3 9 For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.
47N 3 10 For also that [which was] glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory.
47N 3 11 For if that annulled [was introduced] with glory, much rather that which abides [subsists] in glory.
47N 3 12 Having therefore such hope, we use much boldness:
47N 3 13 and
not according as
47N 3 14 But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled.
47N 3 15 But
unto this day, when
47N 3 16 But when it shall turn to [the] Lord, the veil is taken away.)
47N 3 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of [the] Lord [is, there is] liberty.
47N 3 18 But *we* all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
47N 4 1 Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
47N 4 2 But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
47N 4 3 But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
47N 4 4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them].
47N 4 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
47N 4 6 Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.
47N 4 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
47N 4 8 every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
47N 4 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
47N 4 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
47N 4 11 for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;
47N 4 12 so that death works in us, but life in you.
47N 4 13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; *we* also believe, therefore also we speak;
47N 4 14 knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
47N 4 15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
47N 4 16 Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
47N 4 17 For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory;
47N 4 18 while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.
47N 5 1 For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
47N 5 2 For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
47N 5 3 if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
47N 5 4 For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.
47N 5 5 Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
47N 5 6 Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
47N 5 7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight;)
47N 5 8 we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
47N 5 9 Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
47N 5 10 For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil.
47N 5 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.
47N 5 12 [For] we do not again commend ourselves to you, but [we are] giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have [such] with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.
47N 5 13 For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
47N 5 14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
47N 5 15 and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.
47N 5 16 So that *we* henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know [him thus] no longer.
47N 5 17 So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:
47N 5 18 and all things [are] of the God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
47N 5 19 how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.
47N 5 20 We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
47N 5 21 Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God's righteousness in him.
47N 6 1 But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:
47N 6 2 (for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation:)
47N 6 3 giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
47N 6 4 but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
47N 6 5 in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
47N 6 6 in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
47N 6 7 in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
47N 6 8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;
47N 6 9 as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
47N 6 10 as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
47N 6 11 Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.
47N 6 12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;
47N 6 13 but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let *your* heart also expand itself.
47N 6 14 Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
47N 6 15 and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?
47N 6 16 and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are [the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
47N 6 17 Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and *I* will receive you;
47N 6 18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
47N 7 1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.
47N 7 2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
47N 7 3 I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
47N 7 4 Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.
47N 7 5 For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
47N 7 6 But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
47N 7 7 and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
47N 7 8 For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
47N 7 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.
47N 7 10 For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
47N 7 11 For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
47N 7 12 So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.
47N 7 13 For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
47N 7 14 Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;
47N 7 15 and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
47N 7 16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
47N 8 1 But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;
47N 8 2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their [free-hearted] liberality.
47N 8 3 For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,
47N 8 4 begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.
47N 8 5 And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
47N 8 6 So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;
47N 8 7 but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.
47N 8 8 I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.
47N 8 9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.
47N 8 10 And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
47N 8 11 But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.
47N 8 12 For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.
47N 8 13 For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,
47N 8 14 but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality.
47N 8 15 According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.
47N 8 16 But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.
47N 8 17 For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;
47N 8 18 but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;
47N 8 19 and not only [so], but [is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [a witness of] our readiness;
47N 8 20 avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us;
47N 8 21 for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.
47N 8 22 And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [he has] as to you.
47N 8 23 Whether as regards Titus, [he is] my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, [they are] deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.
47N 8 24 Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.
47N 9 1 For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.
47N 9 2 For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].
47N 9 3 But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;
47N 9 4 lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, *we*, that we say not *ye*, may be put to shame in this confidence.
47N 9 5 I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.
47N 9 6 But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:
47N 9 7 each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
47N 9 8 But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:
47N 9 9 according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.
47N 9 10 Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
47N 9 11 enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
47N 9 12 Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;
47N 9 13 they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;
47N 9 14 and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.
47N 9 15 Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.
47N 10 1 But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [when present] [am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;
47N 10 2 but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.
47N 10 3 For walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.
47N 10 4 For the arms of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [the] overthrow of strongholds;
47N 10 5 overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;
47N 10 6 and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.
47N 10 7 Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.
47N 10 8 For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given [to us] for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame;
47N 10 9 that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:
47N 10 10 because his letters, he says, [are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.
47N 10 11 Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [when] absent, such also present in deed.
47N 10 12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent.
47N 10 13 Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.
47N 10 14 For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)
47N 10 15 not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly
47N 10 16 to announce the glad tidings to that [which is] beyond you, not to be boasting in another's rule of things made ready to hand.
47N 10 17 But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
47N 10 18 For not *he* that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
47N 11 1 Would that ye would bear with me [in] a little folly; but indeed bear with me.
47N 11 2 For I am jealous as to you with a jealousy [which is] of God; for I have espoused you unto one man, to present [you] a chaste virgin to Christ.
47N 11 3 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, [so] your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ.
47N 11 4 For if indeed he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye get a different Spirit, which ye have not got, or a different glad tidings, which ye have not received, ye might well bear with [it].
47N 11 5 For I reckon that in nothing I am behind those who are in surpassing degree apostles.
47N 11 6 But if [I am] a simple person in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything making [the truth] manifest in all things to you.
47N 11 7 Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that *ye* might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?
47N 11 8 I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you.
47N 11 9 And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself.
47N 11 10 [The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia.
47N 11 11 Why? because I do not love you? God knows.
47N 11 12 But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.
47N 11 13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
47N 11 14 And [it is] not wonderful, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
47N 11 15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
47N 11 16 Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that *I* also may boast myself some little.
47N 11 17 What I speak I do not speak according to [the] Lord, but as in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
47N 11 18 Since many boast according to flesh, *I* also will boast.
47N 11 19 For ye bear fools readily, being wise.
47N 11 20 For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour [you], if any one get [your money], if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face.
47N 11 21 I speak as to dishonour, as though *we* had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly,) *I* also am daring.
47N 11 22 Are they Hebrews? *I* also. Are they Israelites? *I* also. Are they seed of Abraham? *I* also.
47N 11 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as being beside myself) *I* above measure [so]; in labours exceedingly abundant, in stripes to excess, in prisons exceedingly abundant, in deaths oft.
47N 11 24 From the Jews five times have I received forty [stripes], save one.
47N 11 25 Thrice have I been scourged, once I have been stoned, three times I have suffered shipwreck, a night and day I passed in the deep:
47N 11 26 in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from [my own] race, in perils from [the] nations, in perils in [the] city, in perils in [the] desert, in perils on [the] sea, in perils among false brethren;
47N 11 27 in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
47N 11 28 Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies.
47N 11 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not?
47N 11 30 If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.
47N 11 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows -- he who is blessed for ever -- that I do not lie.
47N 11 32 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes shut up, wishing to take me;
47N 11 33 and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
47N 12 1 Well, it is not of profit to me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
47N 12 2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in [the] body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such [a one] caught up to [the] third heaven.
47N 12 3 And I know such a man, (whether in [the] body or out of the body I know not, God knows;)
47N 12 4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.
47N 12 5 Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.
47N 12 6 For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me.
47N 12 7 And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.
47N 12 8 For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me.
47N 12 9 And
he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness.
47N 12 10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.
47N 12 11 I have become a fool; *ye* have compelled me; for *I* ought to have been commended by you; for I have been nothing behind those who were in surpassing degree apostles, if also I am nothing.
47N 12 12 The signs indeed of the apostle were wrought among you in all endurance, signs, and wonders, and works of power.
47N 12 13 For in what is it that ye have been inferior to the other assemblies, unless that I myself have not been in laziness a charge upon you? Forgive me this injury.
47N 12 14 Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be in laziness a charge; for I do not seek yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
47N 12 15 Now *I* shall most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls, if even in abundantly loving you I should be less loved.
47N 12 16 But be it so. *I* did not burden you, but being crafty I took you by guile.
47N 12 17 Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
47N 12 18 I begged Titus, and sent the brother with [him]: did Titus at all make gain of you? have we not walked in the same spirit? [have we] not in the same steps?
47N 12 19 Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up.
47N 12 20 For I fear lest perhaps coming I find you not such as I wish, and that *I* be found by you such as ye do not wish: lest [there might be] strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, puffings up, disturbances;
47N 12 21 lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised.
47N 13 1 This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established.
47N 13 2 I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.
47N 13 3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,
47N 13 4 for if indeed he has been crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power; for indeed *we* are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power towards you,)
47N 13 5 examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?
47N 13 6 Now I hope that ye will know that *we* are not reprobates.
47N 13 7 But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that *we* may appear approved, but that *ye* may do what is right, and *we* be as reprobates.
47N 13 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
47N 13 9 For we rejoice when *we* may be weak and *ye* may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting.
47N 13 10 On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.
47N 13 11 For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
47N 13 12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.
47N 13 13 All the saints salute you.
47N 13 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all.
Romans (A. D. 57)
45N 1 1 Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,
45N 1 2 (which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings,)
45N 1 3 concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,
45N 1 4 marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;
45N 1 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,
45N 1 6 among whom are *ye* also [the] called of Jesus Christ:
45N 1 7 to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.
45N 1 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
45N 1 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
45N 1 10 always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
45N 1 11 For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;
45N 1 12 that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.
45N 1 13 But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.
45N 1 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:
45N 1 15 so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.
45N 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:
45N 1 17 for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.
45N 1 18 For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.
45N 1 19 Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,
45N 1 20 -- for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable.
45N 1 21 Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:
45N 1 22 professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
45N 1 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.
45N 1 24 Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:
45N 1 25 who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen.
45N 1 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;
45N 1 27 and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.
45N 1 28 And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;
45N 1 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
45N 1 30 back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
45N 1 31 void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;
45N 1 32 who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
45N 2 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
45N 2 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.
45N 2 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that *thou* shalt escape the judgment of God?
45N 2 4 or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?
45N 2 5 but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,
45N 2 6 who shall render to each according to his works:
45N 2 7 to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.
45N 2 8 But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,
45N 2 9 tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
45N 2 10 but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:
45N 2 11 for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
45N 2 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,
45N 2 13 (for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
45N 2 14 For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;
45N 2 15 who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;)
45N 2 16 in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.
45N 2 17 But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,
45N 2 18 and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
45N 2 19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,
45N 2 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:
45N 2 21 thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?
45N 2 22 thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
45N 2 23 thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
45N 2 24 For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.
45N 2 25 For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
45N 2 26 If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,
45N 2 27 and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?
45N 2 28 For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;
45N 2 29 but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
45N 3 1 What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision?
45N 3 2 Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God.
45N 3 3 For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
45N 3 4 Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.
45N 3 5 But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.
45N 3 6 Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world?
45N 3 7 For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am *I* also judged as a sinner?
45N 3 8 and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
45N 3 9 What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
45N 3 10 according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one;
45N 3 11 there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.
45N 3 12 All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:
45N 3 13 their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips:
45N 3 14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
45N 3 15 swift their feet to shed blood;
45N 3 16 ruin and misery [are] in their ways,
45N 3 17 and way of peace they have not known:
45N 3 18 there is no fear of God before their eyes.
45N 3 19 Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.
45N 3 20 Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.
45N 3 21 But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;
45N 3 22 righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;
45N 3 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
45N 3 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;
45N 3 25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;
45N 3 26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.
45N 3 27 Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;
45N 3 28 for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.
45N 3 29 Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:
45N 3 30 since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.
45N 3 31 Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no,] but we establish law.
45N 4 1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?
45N 4 2 For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;
45N 4 3 for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
45N 4 4 Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:
45N 4 5 but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
45N 4 6 Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:
45N 4 7 Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:
45N 4 8 blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.
45N 4 9 [Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
45N 4 10 How then has it been reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
45N 4 11 And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;
45N 4 12 and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.
45N 4 13 For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.
45N 4 14 For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.
45N 4 15 For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.
45N 4 16 Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,
45N 4 17 (according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;
45N 4 18 who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:
45N 4 19 and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,
45N 4 20 and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;
45N 4 21 and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;
45N 4 22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
45N 4 23 Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
45N 4 24 but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,
45N 4 25 who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.
45N 5 1 Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
45N 5 2 by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
45N 5 3 And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;
45N 5 4 and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;
45N 5 5 and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:
45N 5 6 for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.
45N 5 7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;
45N 5 8 but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
45N 5 9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.
45N 5 10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.
45N 5 11 And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.
45N 5 12 For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
45N 5 13 (for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;
45N 5 14 but
death reigned from Adam until
45N 5 15 But [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.
45N 5 16 And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification.
45N 5 17 For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)
45N 5 18 so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.
45N 5 19 For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.
45N 5 20 But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,
45N 5 21 in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
45N 6 1 What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?
45N 6 2 Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
45N 6 3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
45N 6 4 We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life.
45N 6 5 For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;
45N 6 6 knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
45N 6 7 For he that has died is justified from sin.
45N 6 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
45N 6 9 knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
45N 6 10 For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
45N 6 11 So also *ye*, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
45N 6 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
45N 6 13 Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
45N 6 14 For sin shall not have dominion over *you*, for ye are not under law but under grace.
45N 6 15 What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
45N 6 16 Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
45N 6 17 But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
45N 6 18 Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.
45N 6 19 I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
45N 6 20 For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.
45N 6 21 What fruit therefore had ye *then* in the things of which ye are *now* ashamed? for the end of *them* [is] death.
45N 6 22 But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.
45N 6 23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
45N 7 1 Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
45N 7 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:
45N 7 3 so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.
45N 7 4 So that, my brethren, *ye* also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
45N 7 5 For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which [were] by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;
45N 7 6 but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
45N 7 7 What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;
45N 7 8 but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.
45N 7 9 But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.
45N 7 10 And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:
45N 7 11 for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
45N 7 12 So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
45N 7 13 Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
45N 7 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.
45N 7 15 For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
45N 7 16 But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.
45N 7 17 Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
45N 7 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.
45N 7 19 For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
45N 7 20 But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
45N 7 21 I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.
45N 7 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:
45N 7 23 but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.
45N 7 24 O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?
45N 7 25 I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
45N 8 1 [There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
45N 8 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
45N 8 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,
45N 8 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.
45N 8 5 For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
45N 8 6 For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
45N 8 7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
45N 8 8 and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
45N 8 9 But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him:
45N 8 10 but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.
45N 8 11 But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.
45N 8 12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;
45N 8 13 for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:
45N 8 14 for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, *these* are sons of God.
45N 8 15 For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
45N 8 16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
45N 8 17 And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].
45N 8 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to us.
45N 8 19 For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
45N 8 20 for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope
45N 8 21 that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
45N 8 22 For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.
45N 8 23 And not only [that], but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.
45N 8 24 For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?
45N 8 25 But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.
45N 8 26 And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.
45N 8 27 But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.
45N 8 28 But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.
45N 8 29 Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
45N 8 30 But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.
45N 8 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?
45N 8 32 He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?
45N 8 33 Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:
45N 8 34 who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.
45N 8 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
45N 8 36 According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
45N 8 37 But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.
45N 8 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
45N 8 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
45N 9 1 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
45N 9 2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,
45N 9 3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
45N 9 4 who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;
45N 9 5 whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
45N 9 6 Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
45N 9 7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
45N 9 8 That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
45N 9 9 For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
45N 9 10 And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
45N 9 11 [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
45N 9 12 it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
45N 9 13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
45N 9 14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
45N 9 15 For
he says to
45N 9 16 So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
45N 9 17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
45N 9 18 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
45N 9 19 Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
45N 9 20 Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
45N 9 21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
45N 9 22 And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;
45N 9 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
45N 9 24 us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
45N 9 25 As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.
45N 9 26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.
45N 9 27 But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
45N 9 28 for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
45N 9 29 And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
45N 9 30 What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
45N 9 31 But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
45N 9 32 Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
45N 9 33 according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
45N 10 1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
45N 10 2 For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
45N 10 3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
45N 10 4 For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.
45N 10 5 For
45N 10 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
45N 10 7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead.
45N 10 8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
45N 10 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.
45N 10 10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
45N 10 11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.
45N 10 12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
45N 10 13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
45N 10 14 How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?
45N 10 15 and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!
45N 10 16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
45N 10 17 So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
45N 10 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.
45N 10 19 But
I say, Has not Israel known? First,
45N 10 20 But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.
45N 10 21 But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
45N 11 1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
45N 11 2 God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?
45N 11 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.
45N 11 4 But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
45N 11 5 Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
45N 11 6 But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.
45N 11 7 What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
45N 11 8 according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.
45N 11 9 And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:
45N 11 10 let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
45N 11 11 I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.
45N 11 12 But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?
45N 11 13 For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
45N 11 14 if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
45N 11 15 For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?
45N 11 16 Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.
45N 11 17 Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
45N 11 18 boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.
45N 11 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.
45N 11 20 Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
45N 11 21 if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
45N 11 22 Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] *thou* also wilt be cut away.
45N 11 23 And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
45N 11 24 For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
45N 11 25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;
45N 11 26 and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
45N 11 27 And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
45N 11 28 As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
45N 11 29 For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.
45N 11 30 For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;
45N 11 31 so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.
45N 11 32 For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.
45N 11 33 O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
45N 11 34 For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
45N 11 35 or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
45N 11 36 For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
45N 12 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.
45N 12 2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
45N 12 3 For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
45N 12 4 For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
45N 12 5 thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
45N 12 6 But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
45N 12 7 or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
45N 12 8 or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.
45N 12 9 Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:
45N 12 10 as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:
45N 12 11 as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.
45N 12 12 As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:
45N 12 13 distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
45N 12 14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
45N 12 15 Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
45N 12 16 Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
45N 12 17 recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
45N 12 18 if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
45N 12 19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
45N 12 20 If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
45N 12 21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
45N 13 1 Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.
45N 13 2 So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.
45N 13 3 For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;
45N 13 4 for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.
45N 13 5 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.
45N 13 6 For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.
45N 13 7 Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.
45N 13 8 Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
45N 13 9 For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
45N 13 10 Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.
45N 13 11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.
45N 13 12 The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
45N 13 13 As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.
45N 13 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
45N 14 1 Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.
45N 14 2 One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.
45N 14 3 Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
45N 14 4 Who art *thou* that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
45N 14 5 One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
45N 14 6 He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
45N 14 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
45N 14 8 For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
45N 14 9 For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.
45N 14 10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
45N 14 11 For it is written, *I* live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
45N 14 12 So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.
45N 14 13 Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.
45N 14 14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.
45N 14 15 For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.
45N 14 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
45N 14 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
45N 14 18 For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
45N 14 19 So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.
45N 14 20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].
45N 14 21 [It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
45N 14 22 Hast *thou* faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
45N 14 23 But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
45N 15 1 But *we* ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
45N 15 2 Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.
45N 15 3 For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
45N 15 4 For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
45N 15 5 Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;
45N 15 6 that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
45N 15 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to [the] glory of God.
45N 15 8 For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;
45N 15 9 and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among [the] nations, and will sing to thy name.
45N 15 10 And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.
45N 15 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all [ye] nations, and let all the peoples laud him.
45N 15 12 And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over [the] nations: in him shall [the] nations hope.
45N 15 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit.
45N 15 14 But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
45N 15 15 But I have written to you the more boldly, [brethren,] in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God,
45N 15 16 for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the [message of] glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit.
45N 15 17 I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.
45N 15 18 For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for [the] obedience of [the] nations, by word and deed,
45N 15 19 in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;
45N 15 20 and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;
45N 15 21 but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.
45N 15 22 Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.
45N 15 23 But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,
45N 15 24 whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)
45N 15 25 but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
45N 15 26 for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.
45N 15 27 They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.
45N 15 28 Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.
45N 15 29 But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in [the] fulness of [the] blessing of Christ.
45N 15 30 But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God;
45N 15 31 that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
45N 15 32 in order that I may come to you in joy by God's will, and that I may be refreshed with you.
45N 15 33 And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
45N 16 1 But I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is minister of the assembly which is in Cenchrea;
45N 16 2 that ye may receive her in [the] Lord worthily of saints, and that ye may assist her in whatever matter she has need of you; for *she* also has been a helper of many, and of myself.
45N 16 3 Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus,
45N 16 4 (who for my life staked their own neck; to whom not *I* only am thankful, but also all the assemblies of the nations,)
45N 16 5 and the assembly at their house. Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is [the] first-fruits of Asia for Christ.
45N 16 6 Salute Maria, who laboured much for you.
45N 16 7 Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles; who were also in Christ before me.
45N 16 8 Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.
45N 16 9 Salute Urbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.
45N 16 10 Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute those who belong to Aristobulus.
45N 16 11 Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those who bel
