And God H3068 saw H7200 that the wickedness H7451 of man H120 was great H7227 in the earth, H776 and that every H3605 imagination H3336 of the thoughts H4284 of his heart H3820 was only H7535 evil H7451 continually. H3605 H3117

And the LORD H3068 smelled H7306 a sweet H5207 smell; H7381 and the LORD H3068 said H559 in his heart, H3820 I will not again H3254 curse H7043 the ground H127 any H5750 more H5750 for man's H120 sake; H5668 for the imagination H3336 of man's H120 heart H3820 is evil H7451 from his youth; H5271 neither H3808 will I again H3254 smite H5221 any H5750 more H5750 every H3605 thing living, H2416 as I have done. H6213

How H637 much more abominable H8581 and filthy H444 is man, H376 which drinks H8354 iniquity H5766 like water? H4325

The heart H3820 is deceitful H6121 above all H3605 things, and desperately H605 wicked: H605 who H4310 can know H3045 it?

What G5101 then? G3767 are we better G4284 than they? No, G3756 in no G3843 wise: G3843 for we have G2192 before G4256 proved G4256 both G5037 Jews G2453 and Gentiles, G1672 that they are all G3956 under G5259 sin; G266

Now G1161 we know G1492 that what G3745 things soever G1437 the law G3551 said, G3004 it said G2980 to them who are under G1722 the law: G3551 that every G3956 mouth G4750 may be stopped, G5420 and all G3956 the world G2889 may become G1096 guilty G5267 before God. G2316

But the scripture G1124 has concluded G4788 all G3956 under G5259 sin, G266 that the promise G1860 by faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 might be given G1325 to them that believe. G4100

And you has he quickened, who were dead G3498 in trespasses G3900 and sins; G266

Among G1722 whom G3739 also G2532 we all G3956 had our conversation G390 in times G4218 past in the lusts G1939 of our flesh, G4561 fulfilling G4160 the desires G2307 of the flesh G4561 and of the mind; G1271 and were by nature G5449 the children G5043 of wrath, G3709 even G2532 as others. G3062

For we ourselves G2249 also G2532 were sometimes G4218 foolish, G453 disobedient, G545 deceived, G4105 serving G1398 divers G4164 lusts G1939 and pleasures, G2237 living G1236 in malice G2549 and envy, G5355 hateful, G4767 and hating G3404 one G240 another. G240

And the LORD H3068 passed H5674 by before H5921 H6440 him, and proclaimed, H7121 The LORD, H3068 The LORD H3068 God, H410 merciful H7349 and gracious, H2587 long-suffering, H750 H639 and abundant H7227 in goodness H2617 and truth, H571

Keeping H5341 mercy H2617 for thousands, H505 forgiving H5375 iniquity H5771 and transgression H6588 and sin, H2402 and that will by no H3808 means clear H5352 the guilty; visiting H6485 the iniquity H5771 of the fathers H1 on the children, H1121 and on the children's H1121 children, to the third H8029 and to the fourth H7256 generation.

And this H2063 was yet H5750 a small H6994 thing in your sight, H5869 O Lord H136 GOD; H3069 but you have spoken H1696 also H1571 of your servant's H5650 house H1004 for a great H7350 while H7350 to come. And is this H2063 the manner H8452 of man, H120 O Lord H136 GOD? H3069

For you, Lord, H136 are good, H2896 and ready to forgive; H5546 and plenteous H7227 in mercy H2617 to all H3605 them that call H7121 on you.

But you, O Lord, H136 are a God H410 full of compassion, H7349 and gracious, H2587 long suffering, H750 H639 and plenteous H7227 in mercy H2617 and truth. H571

For as the heaven H8064 is high H1361 above H5921 the earth, H776 so great H1396 is his mercy H2617 toward H5921 them that fear H3373 him.

Like as a father H1 pities H7355 his children, H1121 so the LORD H3068 pities H7355 them that fear H3373 him.

Can a woman H802 forget H7911 her sucking H5764 child, that she should not have compassion H7355 on the son H1121 of her womb? H990 yes, H1571 they may forget, H7911 yet will I not forget H7911 you.

For my thoughts H4284 are not your thoughts, H4284 neither H3808 are your ways H1870 my ways, H1870 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

For as the heavens H8064 are higher H1361 than the earth, H776 so H3651 are my ways H1870 higher H1361 than your ways, H1870 and my thoughts H4284 than your thoughts. H4284

How H349 shall I give H5414 you up, Ephraim? H669 how shall I deliver H4042 you, Israel? H3478 how H349 shall I make H5414 you as Admah? H126 how shall I set H7761 you as Zeboim? H6636 my heart H3820 is turned H2015 within me, my repentings H5150 are kindled H3648 together. H3162

I will not execute H6213 the fierceness H2740 of my anger, H639 I will not return H7725 to destroy H7843 Ephraim: H669 for I am God, H410 and not man; H376 the Holy H6918 One in the middle H7130 of you: and I will not enter H935 into the city. H5892

Who H4310 is a God H410 like H3644 to you, that pardons H5375 iniquity, H5771 and passes H5674 by the transgression H6588 of the remnant H7611 of his heritage? H5159 he retains H2388 not his anger H639 for ever, H5703 because H3588 he delights H2654 in mercy. H2617

A son H1121 honors H3513 his father, H2 and a servant H5650 his master: H113 if H518 then I be a father, H2 where H346 is my honor? H3519 and if H518 I be a master, H113 where H346 is my fear? H4172 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 to you, O priests, H3548 that despise H959 my name. H8034 And you say, H559 Wherein H4100 have we despised H959 your name? H8034

If a son G5207 shall ask G154 bread G740 of any G5100 of you that is a father, G3962 will he give G1929 him a stone? G3037 or if he ask a fish, G2486 will he for a fish G2486 give G1929 him a serpent? G3789

If G1487 you then, G3767 being G5225 evil, G4190 know G1492 how to give G1325 good G18 gifts G1390 to your G5216 children: G5043 how G4214 much G4214 more G3123 shall your G3588 heavenly G1537 G3772 Father G3962 give G1325 the Holy G40 Spirit G4151 to them that ask G154 him?

For God G2316 so G3779 loved G25 the world, G2889 that he gave G1325 his only G3439 begotten G3439 Son, G5207 that whoever G3956 G3588 believes G4100 in him should not perish, G622 but have G2192 everlasting G166 life. G2222

But God G2316 commends G4921 his love G26 toward G1519 us, in that, while we were yet G2089 sinners, G268 Christ G5547 died G599 for us.

For if, G1487 when we were enemies, G2190 we were reconciled G2644 to God G2316 by the death G2288 of his Son, G5207 much G4183 more, G3123 being reconciled, G2644 we shall be saved G4982 by his life. G2222

He that spared G5339 not his own G2398 Son, G5207 but delivered G3860 him up for us all, G3956 how G4459 shall he not with him also G2532 freely give G5483 us all G3956 things?

But God, G2316 who is rich G4145 in mercy, G1656 for his great G4183 love G26 with which G3739 he loved G25 us,

Even G2532 when we were dead G3498 in sins, G3900 has quickened G4806 us together G4806 with Christ, G5547 (by grace G5485 you are saved; G4982 )

Behold, G1492 what G4217 manner G4217 of love G26 the Father G3962 has bestowed G1325 on us, that we should be called G2564 the sons G5043 of God: G2316 therefore G1223 G5124 the world G2889 knows G1097 us not, because G3754 it knew G1097 him not.

Herein G1722 G5129 is love, G26 not that we loved G25 God, G2316 but that he loved G25 us, and sent G649 his Son G5207 to be the propitiation G2434 for our sins. G266

For the LORD H3068 God H430 is a sun H8121 and shield: H4043 the LORD H3068 will give H5414 grace H2580 and glory: H3519 no H3808 good H2896 thing will he withhold H4513 from them that walk H1980 uprightly. H8549

Yes, H1571 the LORD H3068 shall give H5414 that which is good; H2896 and our land H776 shall yield H5414 her increase. H2981

Behold, H2009 the days H3117 come, H935 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will perform H6965 that good H2896 thing H1697 which H834 I have promised H1696 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and to the house H1004 of Judah. H3063

Take H3947 with you words, H1697 and turn H7725 to the LORD: H3068 say H559 to him, Take H5375 away all H3605 iniquity, H5771 and receive H3947 us graciously: H2896 so will we render H7999 the calves H6499 of our lips. H8193

And the angel G32 said G2036 to them, Fear G5399 not: for, behold, G2400 I bring G2097 you good G2097 tidings G2097 of great G3173 joy, G5479 which G3748 shall be to all G3956 people. G2992

For to you is born G5088 this G4594 day G4594 in the city G4172 of David G1138 a Savior, G4990 which G3739 is Christ G5547 the Lord. G2962

If G1487 you then, G3767 being G5225 evil, G4190 know G1492 how to give G1325 good G18 gifts G1390 to your G5216 children: G5043 how G4214 much G4214 more G3123 shall your G3588 heavenly G1537 G3772 Father G3962 give G1325 the Holy G40 Spirit G4151 to them that ask G154 him?

And God G2316 is able G1415 to make G4052 all G3956 grace G5485 abound G4052 toward G1519 you; that you, always G3842 having G2192 all G3956 sufficiency G841 in all G3956 things, may abound G4052 to every G3956 good G18 work: G2041

Now G1161 he that ministers G2023 seed G4690 to the sower G4687 both G2532 minister G5524 bread G740 for your food, G1035 and multiply G4129 your G5216 seed G4703 sown, and increase G837 the fruits G1081 of your G5216 righteousness; G1343 )

For the administration G1248 of this G5026 service G3009 not only G3440 supplies G4322 the want G5303 of the saints, G40 but is abundant G4052 also G2532 by many G4183 thanksgivings G2169 to God; G2316

And by their prayer G1162 for you, which long G1971 after G1971 you for the exceeding G5235 grace G5485 of God G2316 in you.

But after G3753 that the kindness G5544 and love G5363 of God G2316 our Savior G4990 toward man appeared, G2014

Which G3739 he shed G1632 on G1909 us abundantly G4146 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our Savior; G4990
