Now G1161 I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 for the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ's G5547 sake, and for the love G26 of the Spirit, G4151 that you strive G4865 together G4865 with me in your G3588 prayers G4335 to God G2316 for me;

Now G1161 I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 by the name G3686 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that you all G3956 speak G3004 the same G846 thing, and that there be no G3361 divisions G4978 among G1722 you; but that you be perfectly G2675 joined G2675 together G2675 in the same G846 mind G3563 and in the same G846 judgment. G1106

Now G3767 then we are ambassadors G4243 for Christ, G5547 as though God G2316 did beseech G3870 you by us: we pray G1189 you in Christ's G5547 stead, G5228 be you reconciled G2644 to God. G2316

We then, G3767 as workers G4903 together G4903 with him, beseech G3870 you also G2532 that you receive G1209 not the grace G5485 of God G2316 in vain. G2756

Now G1161 I Paul G3972 myself beseech G3870 you by the meekness G4236 and gentleness G1932 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 in presence G4383 am base G5011 among G1722 you, but being absent G548 am bold G2292 toward G1519 you:

I therefore, G3767 the prisoner G1198 of the Lord, G2962 beseech G3870 you that you walk G4043 worthy G516 of the vocation G2821 with which G3739 you are called, G2564

Furthermore G3063 then G3767 we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 and exhort G3870 you by the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 that as you have G2192 received G3880 of us how G4459 you ought G1163 to walk G4043 and to please G700 God, G2316 so you would abound G4052 more G3123 and more. G3123

And indeed G1063 you do G4160 it toward G1519 all G3956 the brothers G80 which G3588 are in all G3650 Macedonia: G3109 but we beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 that you increase G4052 more G3123 and more; G3123

And we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 to know G1492 them which G3588 labor G2872 among G1722 you, and are over G4291 you in the Lord, G2962 and admonish G3560 you;

And I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 suffer G430 the word G3056 of exhortation: G3874 for I have written G1989 a letter G1989 to you in few G1024 words.

Or G2228 despise G2706 you the riches G4149 of his goodness G5544 and forbearance G463 and long-suffering; G3115 not knowing G50 that the goodness G5543 of God G2316 leads G71 you to repentance? G3341

And that he might make G1107 known G1107 the riches G4149 of his glory G1391 on G1909 the vessels G4632 of mercy, G1656 which G3739 he had before G4282 prepared G4282 to glory, G1391

For as you in times G4218 past have not believed G544 God, G2316 yet have now G3568 obtained G1653 mercy G1653 through their unbelief: G543

Even so G3779 have these G3778 also G2532 now G3568 not believed, G544 that through your G5212 mercy G1656 they also G2532 may obtain G1653 mercy. G1653

What H4100 shall I render H7725 to the LORD H3068 for all H3605 his benefits H8408 toward H5921 me?

Why G3739 G5484 I say G3004 to you, Her sins, G266 which G3588 are many, G4183 are forgiven; G863 for she loved G25 much: G4183 but to whom G3739 little G3641 is forgiven, G863 the same loves G25 little. G3641

Therefore G1223 G5124 seeing we have G2192 this G5026 ministry, G1248 as we have G2192 received G1653 mercy, G1653 we faint G1573 not;

For the love G26 of Christ G5547 constrains G4912 us; because we thus G5124 judge, G2919 that if G1487 one G1520 died G599 for all, G3956 then G686 were all G3956 dead: G599

And that he died G599 for all, G3956 that they which live G2198 should not from now on G3371 live G2198 to themselves, G1438 but to him which died G599 for them, and rose G1453 again. G1453

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

And has raised G4891 us up together, G4891 and made G4776 us sit G4776 together G4776 in heavenly G2032 places in Christ G5547 Jesus: G2424

For by grace G5485 are you saved G4982 through G1223 faith; G4102 and that not of yourselves: G5216 it is the gift G1435 of God: G2316

For we are his workmanship, G4161 created G2936 in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 to good G18 works, G2041 which G3739 God G2316 has before G4282 ordained G4282 that we should walk G4043 in them.

If G1487 there be therefore G3767 any G1536 consolation G3874 in Christ, G5547 if G1487 any G1536 comfort G3890 of love, G26 if G1487 any G1536 fellowship G2842 of the Spirit, G4151 if G1487 any G1536 bowels G4698 and mercies, G3628

Let nothing G3367 be done through G2596 strife G2052 or G2228 vainglory; G2754 but in lowliness G5012 of mind G5012 let each G240 esteem G2233 other G240 better G5242 than themselves. G1438

Let this G5124 mind G5426 be in you, which G3739 was also G2532 in Christ G5547 Jesus: G2424

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

This G3588 is a faithful G4103 saying, G3056 and these G5130 things I will G1014 that you affirm G1226 constantly, G1226 that they which have believed G4100 in God G2316 might be careful G5431 to maintain G4291 good G2570 works. G2041 These G5023 things are good G2570 and profitable G5624 to men. G444

Which G3588 in time G4218 past were not a people, G2992 but are now G3568 the people G2992 of God: G2316 which G3588 had not obtained G1653 mercy, G1653 but now G3568 have obtained G1653 mercy. G1653

Having G2192 your G5216 conversation G391 honest G2570 among G1722 the Gentiles: G1484 that, whereas G1722 G3759 they speak G2635 against G1909 you as evildoers, G2555 they may by your G3588 good G2570 works, G2041 which they shall behold, G2029 glorify G1392 God G2316 in the day G2250 of visitation. G1984

Neither G3366 yield G3936 you your G5216 members G3196 as instruments G3696 of unrighteousness G93 to sin: G266 but yield G3936 yourselves G1438 to God, G2316 as those that are alive G2198 from the dead, G3498 and your G5216 members G3196 as instruments G3696 of righteousness G1343 to God. G2316

Know G1492 you not, that to whom G3739 you yield G3936 yourselves G1438 servants G1401 to obey, G5218 his servants G1401 you are to whom G3739 you obey; G5219 whether G2273 of sin G266 to death, G2288 or G2228 of obedience G5218 to righteousness? G1343

I speak G3004 after the manner G442 of men G442 because G1223 of the infirmity G769 of your G5216 flesh: G4561 for as you have yielded G3936 your G5216 members G3196 servants G1401 to uncleanness G167 and to iniquity G458 to iniquity; G458 even G3779 so G3779 now G3568 yield G3936 your G5216 members G3196 servants G1401 to righteousness G1343 to holiness. G38

Will I eat H398 the flesh H1320 of bulls, H47 or drink H8354 the blood H1818 of goats? H6260

Offer H2076 to God H430 thanksgiving; H8426 and pay H7999 your vows H5088 to the most H5945 High: H5945

Meats G1033 for the belly, G2836 and the belly G2836 for meats: G1033 but God G2316 shall destroy G2673 both G2532 it and them. Now G1161 the body G4983 is not for fornication, G4202 but for the Lord; G2962 and the Lord G2962 for the body. G4983

Know G1492 you not that your G5216 bodies G4983 are the members G3196 of Christ? G5547 shall I then G3767 take G142 the members G3196 of Christ, G5547 and make G4160 them the members G3196 of an harlot? G4204 God G3361 G1096 forbid. G3361 G1096

But he that is joined G2853 to the Lord G2962 is one G1520 spirit. G4151

What? G2228 know G1492 you not that your G1438 body G4983 is the temple G3485 of the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 which G3739 is in you, which you have G2192 of God, G2316 and you are not your G5216 own? G1438

According G2596 to my earnest G603 expectation G603 and my hope, G1680 that in nothing G3762 I shall be ashamed, G153 but that with all G3956 boldness, G3954 as always, G3842 so now G3568 also G2532 Christ G5547 shall be magnified G3170 in my body, G4983 whether G1535 it be by life, G2222 or G1535 by death. G2288

Let us draw G4334 near G4334 with a true G228 heart G2588 in full G4136 assurance G4136 of faith, G4102 having our hearts G2588 sprinkled G4473 from an evil G4190 conscience, G4893 and our bodies G4983 washed G3068 with pure G2513 water. G5204

I will praise H1984 the name H8034 of God H430 with a song, H7892 and will magnify H1431 him with thanksgiving. H8426

This also shall please H3190 the LORD H3068 better H3190 than an ox H7794 or bullock H6499 that has horns H7160 and hoofs. H6536

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

Purge G1571 out therefore G3767 the old G3820 leaven, G2219 that you may be a new G3501 lump, G5445 as you are unleavened. G106 For even G2532 Christ G5547 our passover G3957 is sacrificed G2380 for us:

Therefore G5620 let us keep G1858 the feast, G1858 not with old G3820 leaven, G2219 neither G3366 with the leaven G2219 of malice G2549 and wickedness; G4189 but with the unleavened G106 bread of sincerity G1505 and truth. G225

For which G1352 cause G1352 we faint G1573 not; but though G1499 our outward G1854 man G444 perish, G1311 yet G235 the inward G2081 man is renewed G341 day G2250 by day. G2250

Yes, G235 and if G1487 I be offered G4689 on the sacrifice G2378 and service G3009 of your G5216 faith, G4102 I joy, G5463 and rejoice G4796 with you all. G3956

By a new G4372 and living G2198 way, G3598 which G3739 he has consecrated G1457 for us, through G1223 the veil, G2665 that is to say, his flesh; G4561

Let us draw G4334 near G4334 with a true G228 heart G2588 in full G4136 assurance G4136 of faith, G4102 having our hearts G2588 sprinkled G4473 from an evil G4190 conscience, G4893 and our bodies G4983 washed G3068 with pure G2513 water. G5204

By him therefore G3767 let us offer G399 the sacrifice G2378 of praise G133 to God G2316 continually, G1275 that is, the fruit G2590 of our lips G5491 giving thanks G3670 to his name. G3686

But to do G2140 good G2140 and to communicate G2842 forget G1950 not: for with such G5108 sacrifices G2378 God G2316 is well G2100 pleased. G2100

You also, G2532 as lively G2198 stones, G3037 are built G3618 up a spiritual G4152 house, G3624 an holy G40 priesthood, G2406 to offer G399 up spiritual G4152 sacrifices, G2378 acceptable G2144 to God G2316 by Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

And be not conformed G4964 to this G5129 world: G165 but be you transformed G3339 by the renewing G342 of your G5216 mind, G3563 that you may prove G1381 what G5101 is that good, G18 and acceptable, G2101 and perfect, G5046 will G2307 of God. G2316

That I should be the minister G3011 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to the Gentiles, G1484 ministering G2418 the gospel G2098 of God, G2316 that the offering G4376 up of the Gentiles G1484 might be acceptable, G2144 being sanctified G37 by the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

Let the words H561 of my mouth, H6310 and the meditation H1902 of my heart, H3820 be acceptable H7522 in your sight, H6440 O LORD, H3068 my strength, H6697 and my redeemer. H1350

Even them will I bring H935 to my holy H6944 mountain, H2022 and make them joyful H8055 in my house H1004 of prayer: H8605 their burnt H5930 offerings and their sacrifices H2077 shall be accepted H7522 on my altar; H4196 for my house H1004 shall be called H7121 an house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 people. H5971

To what H4100 purpose comes H935 there to me incense H3828 from Sheba, H7614 and the sweet H2896 cane H7070 from a far H4801 country? H776 your burnt H5930 offerings are not acceptable, H7522 nor H3808 your sacrifices H2077 sweet H6149 to me.

Proving G1381 what G5101 is acceptable G2101 to the Lord. G2962

But I have G568 all, G3956 and abound: G4052 I am full, G4137 having received G1209 of Epaphroditus G1891 the things which were sent from you, an odor G3744 of a sweet G2175 smell, G2175 a sacrifice G2378 acceptable, G1184 well pleasing G2101 to God. G2316

For this G5124 is good G2570 and acceptable G587 in the sight G1799 of God G2316 our Savior; G4990

But if G1487 any G5100 widow G5503 have G2192 children G5043 or G2228 nephews, G1549 let them learn G3129 first G4412 to show G2151 piety G2151 at home, G2398 and to requite G287 G591 their parents: G4269 for that is good G2570 and acceptable G587 before G1799 God. G2316

You also, G2532 as lively G2198 stones, G3037 are built G3618 up a spiritual G4152 house, G3624 an holy G40 priesthood, G2406 to offer G399 up spiritual G4152 sacrifices, G2378 acceptable G2144 to God G2316 by Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

For what G4169 glory G2811 is it, if, G1487 when you be buffeted G2852 for your faults, G264 you shall take it patiently? G5278 but if, G1487 when you do G15 well, G15 and suffer G3958 for it, you take it patiently, G5278 this G5124 is acceptable G5485 with God. G2316
