47-2 CORINTHIANS
47-1:1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the
saints which are in all Achaia:
47-1:4 Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we
may be able to comfort them which are in any
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
47-1:5 For
as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
47-1:6 And
whether we be afflicted, it is for
your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in
the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be
comforted, it is for your consolation
and salvation.
47-1:8 For
we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above
strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
47-1:9 But
we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that
we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
47-1:10 Who
delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in
whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
47-1:12 For
our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
47-1:14 As
also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we
are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours
in the day of the Lord Jesus.
47-1:15 And
in this confidence I was minded to come unto you
before, that ye might have a second benefit;
47-1:19 For
the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus,
was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
47-1:20 For
all the promises of God in him are yea, and in
him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
47-1:21 Now
he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and
hath anointed us, is God;
47-1:22 Who
hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
47-2:1 But
I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
47-2:3 And
I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them
of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in
you all, that my joy is the joy of
you all.
47-2:5 But
if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in
part: that I may not overcharge you all.
47-2:9 For
to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be
obedient in all things.
47-2:10 To
whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also:
for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I
it in the person of Christ;
47-2:13 I
had no rest in my spirit, because I found not
Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into
Macedonia.
47-2:14 Now
thanks be unto God, which always
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh
manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every
place.
47-2:15 For
we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in
them that are saved, and in them that perish:
47-2:17 For
we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as
of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
47-3:2 Ye
are our epistle written in our hearts, known and
read of all men:
47-3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared
to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone,
but in fleshy tables of the heart.
47-3:7 But
if the ministration of death, written and
engraven in stones, was glorious, so that
the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the
glory of his countenance; which glory was
to be done away:
47-3:9 For
if the ministration of condemnation be glory,
much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
47-3:10 For
even that which was made glorious had no glory in
this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
47-3:14 But
their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken
away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
47-3:18 But
we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
47-4:2 But
have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every
man’s conscience in the sight of God.
47-4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.
47-4:6 For
God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Jesus Christ.
47-4:7 But
we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that
the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
47-4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not
in despair;
47-4:10 Always
bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord
Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
47-4:11 For
we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life
also of Jesus might be made manifest in our
mortal flesh.
47-4:12 So
then death worketh in us, but life in you.
47-5:1 For
we know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens.
47-5:2 For
in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be
clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
47-5:4 For
we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be
unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
47-5:6 Therefore
we are always confident, knowing
that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are
absent from the Lord:
47-5:10 For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or bad.
47-5:11 Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest
unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in
your consciences.
47-5:12 For
we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our
behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer
them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
47-5:17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
47-5:19 To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed
unto us the word of reconciliation.
47-5:20 Now
then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
47-5:21 For
he hath made him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
47-6:1 We
then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
47-6:2 (For
he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted,
and in the day of salvation have I succoured
thee: behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.)
47-6:3 Giving
no offence in any thing, that the ministry be
not blamed:
47-6:4 But
in all things
approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in
much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
distresses,
47-6:5 In stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in
watchings, in fastings;
47-6:12 Ye
are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
47-6:13 Now
for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
47-6:16 And
what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them,
and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
47-7:1 Having
therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
47-7:3 I
speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are
in our hearts to die and live with you.
47-7:4 Great
is my boldness of speech toward you,
great is my glorying of you: I am
filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in
all our tribulation.
47-7:7 And
not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your
mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
47-7:9 Now
I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for
ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
47-7:11 For
behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what
carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what
zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye
have approved yourselves to be clear in this
matter.
47-7:12 Wherefore,
though I wrote unto you, I did it not
for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong,
but that our care for you in the sight of God
might appear unto you.
47-7:13 Therefore
we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was
refreshed by you all.
47-7:14 For
if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake
all things to you in truth, even so our
boasting, which I made before Titus,
is found a truth.
47-7:16 I
rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
47-8:2 How
that in a great trial of affliction the
abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their
liberality.
47-8:6 Insomuch
that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
47-8:7 Therefore,
as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and
knowledge, and in
all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace
also.
47-8:18 And
we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the
churches;
47-8:20 Avoiding
this, that no man should blame us in this
abundance which is administered by us:
47-8:21 Providing
for honest things, not only in the sight of the
Lord, but also in the sight of men.
47-8:22 And
we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the
great confidence which I have in you.
47-9:3 Yet
have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf;
that, as I said, ye may be ready:
47-9:4 Lest
haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we
say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident
boasting.
47-9:7 Every
man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of
necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
47-9:8 And
God is able to make all grace abound
toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in
all things, may abound to every good
work:
47-9:11 Being
enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,
which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
47-9:14 And
by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
47-10:1 Now
I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base
among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
47-10:3 For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after
the flesh:
47-10:6 And
having in a readiness to revenge all
disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
47-10:11 Let
such an one think this, that, such as we are in
word by letters when we are absent, such will
we be also in deed when we are present.
47-10:14 For
we stretch not ourselves beyond our
measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to
you also in preaching
the gospel of Christ:
47-10:16 To
preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not
to boast in another man’s line of things made
ready to our hand.
47-10:17 But
he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
47-11:1 Would
to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
47-11:3 But
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
47-11:6 But
though I be rude in speech, yet not in
knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
47-11:7 Have
I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye
might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
47-11:9 And
when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that
which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I
have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
47-11:10 As
the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop
me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
47-11:17 That
which I speak, I speak it not after
the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this
confidence of boasting.
47-11:23 Are
they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in
prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
47-11:25 Thrice
was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night
and a day I have been in the deep;
47-11:26 In journeyings
often, in perils
of waters, in
perils of robbers, in perils by mine
own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in
the city, in
perils in the wilderness, in perils
in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
47-11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in
watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in
cold and nakedness.
47-11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept
the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
47-11:33 And
through a window in a basket was I let down by
the wall, and escaped his hands.
47-12:2 I
knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether
out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the
third heaven.
47-12:3 And
I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out
of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
47-12:5 Of
such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
47-12:7 And
lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the
revelations, there was given to me a thorn in
the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
measure.
47-12:9 And
he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will
I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power
of Christ may rest upon me.
47-12:10 Therefore
I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong.
47-12:11 I
am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled
me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in
nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
47-12:12 Truly
the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in
all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty
deeds.
47-12:18 I
desired Titus, and with him I sent a
brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in
the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
47-12:19 Again,
think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we
do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
47-13:1 This
is the third time I am coming to you. In the
mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
47-13:3 Since
ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which
to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
47-13:4 For
though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God.
For we also are weak in him, but we shall live
with him by the power of God toward you.
47-13:5 Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your
own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
47-13:11 Finally,
brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you.
48-GALATIANS
48-1:13 For
ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I
persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
48-1:14 And
profited in the Jews’ religion above many my
equals in mine own nation, being more
exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
48-1:16 To
reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him
among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
48-1:22 And
was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
48-1:23 But
they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in
times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
48-1:24 And
they glorified God in me.
48-2:2 And
I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach
among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any
means I should run, or had run, in vain.
48-2:4 And
that because of false brethren unawares brought in,
who came in privily to spy out our liberty which
we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring
us into bondage:
48-2:6 But
of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter
to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added
nothing to me:
48-2:8 (For
he that wrought effectually in Peter to the
apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in
me toward the Gentiles:)
48-2:16 Knowing
that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
48-2:20 I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.
48-2:21 I
do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in
vain.
48-3:3 Are
ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are
ye now made perfect by the flesh?
48-3:4 Have
ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in
vain.
48-3:8 And
the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying,
In thee shall all nations be blessed.
48-3:10 For
as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that continueth
not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
48-3:11 But
that no man is justified by the law in the sight
of God, it is evident: for, The just
shall live by faith.
48-3:12 And
the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
48-3:17 And
this I say, that the covenant, that
was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law,
which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should
make the promise of none effect.
48-3:19 Wherefore
then serveth the law? It was added
because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was
made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
48-3:26 For
ye are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus.
48-3:28 There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
48-4:3 Even
so we, when we were children, were in bondage
under the elements of the world:
48-4:9 But
now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye
again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
48-4:11 I
am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in
vain.
48-4:14 And
my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised
not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
48-4:18 But
it is good to be zealously affected
always in a
good thing, and not only when I
am present with you.
48-4:19 My
little children, of whom I travail in birth
again until Christ be formed in you,
48-4:20 I
desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
48-4:25 For
this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth
to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage
with her children.
48-5:1 Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
48-5:6 For
in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
48-5:10 I
have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye
will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his
judgment, whosoever he be.
48-5:14 For
all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in
this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
48-5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
flesh.
48-5:21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
48-5:25 If
we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
48-6:1 Brethren,
if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
48-6:4 But
let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in
another.
48-6:6 Let
him that is taught in the word communicate unto
him that teacheth in all good things.
48-6:9 And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
48-6:12 As
many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh,
they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution
for the cross of Christ.
48-6:13 For
neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have
you circumcised, that they may glory in your
flesh.
48-6:14 But
God forbid that I should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I
unto the world.
48-6:15 For
in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
48-6:17 From
henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in
my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
49-EPHESIANS
49-1:1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus,
and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
49-1:3 Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
in Christ:
49-1:4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
49-1:6 To
the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
49-1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
49-1:8 Wherein
he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and
prudence;
49-1:9 Having
made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure
which he hath purposed in himself:
49-1:10 That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in
heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
49-1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his
own will:
49-1:12 That
we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
49-1:13 In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed
with that holy Spirit of promise,
49-1:15 Wherefore
I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
49-1:16 Cease
not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in
my prayers;
49-1:17 That
the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of him:
49-1:18 The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope
of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
49-1:20 Which
he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from
the dead, and set him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places,
49-1:21 Far
above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
49-1:23 Which
is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in
all.
49-2:1 And
you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:
49-2:2 Wherein
in time past ye walked according to the course
of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience:
49-2:3 Among
whom also we all had our conversation in times
past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the
desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
49-2:4 But God, who is
