I say G3004 the truth G225 in Christ, G5547 I lie G5574 not, my conscience G4893 also G4828 bearing G4828 me witness G4828 in the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151

For I could wish G2172 that myself G846 were accursed G331 from Christ G5547 for my brothers, G80 my kinsmen G4773 according G2596 to the flesh: G4561

Now H6258 therefore let me alone, that my wrath H639 may wax hot H2734 against them, and that I may consume H3615 them: and I will make H6213 of you a great H1419 nation. H1471

Remember H2142 Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3327 and Israel, H3478 your servants, H5650 to whom H834 you swore H7650 by your own self, and said H1696 to them, I will multiply H7235 your seed H2233 as the stars H3556 of heaven, H8064 and all H3605 this H2063 land H776 that I have spoken H559 of will I give H5414 to your seed, H2233 and they shall inherit H5157 it for ever. H5769

Moreover H1571 as for me, God forbid H2486 that I should sin H2398 against the LORD H3068 in ceasing H2308 to pray H6419 for you: but I will teach H3384 you the good H2896 and the right H3477 way: H1870

It repents H5162 me that I have set H4427 up Saul H7586 to be king: H4428 for he is turned H7725 back H7725 from following H310 me, and has not performed H6965 my commandments. H1697 And it grieved H2734 Samuel; H8050 and he cried H2199 to the LORD H3068 all H3605 night. H3915

And Samuel H8050 came no H3808 more H3254 to see H7200 Saul H7586 until H5704 the day H3117 of his death: H4194 nevertheless H3588 Samuel H8050 mourned H56 for Saul: H7586 and the LORD H3068 repented H5162 that he had made Saul H7586 king H4427 over H5921 Israel. H3478

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 How H5704 long H5704 will you mourn H56 for Saul, H7586 seeing I have rejected H3988 him from reigning H4427 over H5921 Israel? H3478 fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil, H8081 and go, H3212 I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite: H1022 for I have provided H7200 me a king H4428 among his sons. H1121

As for me, I have not hastened H213 from being a pastor H7462 to follow H310 you: neither H3808 have I desired H183 the woeful H605 day; H3117 you know: H3045 that which came H4161 out of my lips H8193 was right H5227 before H5227 H6440 you.

Shall evil H7451 be recompensed H7999 for good? H2896 for they have dig H3738 a pit H7745 for my soul. H5315 Remember H2142 that I stood H5975 before H6440 you to speak H1696 good H2896 for them, and to turn H7725 away your wrath H2534 from them.

O Jerusalem, G2419 Jerusalem, G2419 which G3588 kill G615 the prophets, G4396 and stone G3036 them that are sent G649 to you; how G4212 often G4212 would G2309 I have gathered G1996 your children G5043 together, G1996 as a hen G3733 does gather her brood G3555 under G5259 her wings, G4420 and you would G2309 not!

But I receive G2983 not testimony G3141 from man: G444 but these G5023 things I say, G3004 that you might be saved. G4982

And to the Jews G2453 I became G1096 as a Jew, G2453 that I might gain G2770 the Jews; G2453 to them that are under G5259 the law, G3551 as under G5259 the law, G3551 that I might gain G2770 them that are under G5259 the law; G3551

To the weak G770 became G1096 I as weak, G770 that I might gain G2770 the weak: G770 I am made G1096 all G3956 things to all G3956 men, that I might by all G3956 means G3843 save G4982 some. G5100
