And after G3326 the reading G320 of the law G3551 and the prophets G4396 the rulers G752 of the synagogue G752 sent G649 to them, saying, G3004 You men G435 and brothers, G80 if G1487 you have G2076 any G5100 word G3056 of exhortation G3874 for the people, G2992 say G3004 on.

And Judas G2455 and Silas, G4609 being G5607 prophets G4396 also G2532 themselves, G846 exhorted G3870 the brothers G80 with many G4183 words, G3056 and confirmed G1991 them.

And when he had gone G1330 over G1330 those G1565 parts, G3313 and had given them much G4183 exhortation, G3870 he came G2064 into G1519 Greece, G1671

But he that prophesies G4395 speaks G2980 to men G444 to edification, G3619 and exhortation, G3874 and comfort. G3889

For our exhortation G3874 was not of deceit, G4106 nor G3761 of uncleanness, G167 nor G3777 in guile: G1388

Till G2193 I come, G2064 give attendance G4337 to reading, G320 to exhortation, G3874 to doctrine. G1319

Not forsaking G1459 the assembling G1997 of ourselves G1438 together, G1997 as the manner G1485 of some G5100 is; but exhorting G3870 one another: and so G5118 much G5118 the more, G3123 as you see G991 the day G2250 approaching. G1448

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.

Distributing G2841 to the necessity G5532 of saints; G40 given G1377 to hospitality. G5381

But you shall open H6605 your hand H3027 wide H6605 to him, and shall surely lend H5670 him sufficient H1767 for his need, H4270 in that which H834 he wants. H2637

You shall surely give H5414 him, and your heart H3824 shall not be grieved H7489 when you give H5414 to him: because H3588 that for this H2088 thing H1697 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall bless H1288 you in all H3605 your works, H4639 and in all H3605 that you put H4916 your hand H3027 to.

If H518 I have withheld H4513 the poor H1800 from their desire, H2656 or have caused the eyes H5869 of the widow H490 to fail; H3615

(For from my youth H5271 he was brought H1431 up with me, as with a father, H1 and I have guided H5148 her from my mother's H517 womb; H990 )

If H518 his loins H2504 have not blessed H1288 me, and if he were not warmed H2552 with the fleece H1488 of my sheep; H3532

He has dispersed, H6340 he has given H5414 to the poor; H34 his righteousness H6666 endures H5975 for ever; H5703 his horn H7161 shall be exalted H7311 with honor. H3519

He that has a bountiful H2896 eye H5869 shall be blessed; H1288 for he gives H5414 of his bread H3899 to the poor. H1800

Cast H7971 your bread H3899 on the waters: H4325 for you shall find H4672 it after many H7230 days. H3117

Give H5414 a portion H2506 to seven, H7651 and also H1571 to eight; H8083 for you know H3045 not what H4100 evil H7451 shall be on the earth. H776

In the morning H1242 sow H2232 your seed, H2233 and in the evening H6153 withhold H3240 not your hand: H3027 for you know H3045 not whether H335 shall prosper, H3787 either this H2088 or H176 that, or whether H518 they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good. H2896

The vile H5036 person shall be no H3808 more H5750 called H7121 liberal, H5081 nor H3808 the churl H3596 said H559 to be bountiful. H7771

But the liberal H5081 devises H3289 liberal H5081 things; and by liberal H5081 things shall he stand. H6965

Is it not to deal H6536 your bread H3899 to the hungry, H7456 and that you bring H935 the poor H6041 that are cast H4788 out to your house? H1004 when H3588 you see H7200 the naked, H6174 that you cover H3680 him; and that you hide H5956 not yourself from your own flesh? H1320

Then H227 shall you call, H7121 and the LORD H3068 shall answer; H6030 you shall cry, H7768 and he shall say, H559 Here H2009 I am. If you take H5493 away H5493 from the middle H8432 of you the yoke, H4133 the putting H7971 forth H7971 of the finger, H676 and speaking H1696 vanity; H205

And the LORD H3068 shall guide H5148 you continually, H8548 and satisfy H7646 your soul H5315 in drought, H6710 and make fat H2502 your bones: H6106 and you shall be like a watered H7302 garden, H1588 and like a spring H4161 of water, H4325 whose H834 waters H4325 fail H3576 not.

Therefore G3767 when G3752 you do G4160 your alms, G1654 do not sound G4537 a trumpet G4537 before G1715 you, as the hypocrites G5273 do G4160 in the synagogues G4864 and in the streets, G4505 that they may have glory G1392 of men. G444 Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, They have G568 their reward. G3408

That your G4675 alms G1654 may be in secret: G2927 and your Father G3962 which G3588 sees G991 in secret G2927 himself G846 shall reward G591 you openly. G1722

And the King G935 shall answer G611 and say G2046 to them, Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, Inasmuch G1909 G3745 as you have done G4160 it to one G1520 of the least G1646 of these G5130 my brothers, G80 you have done G4160 it to me.

And he looked G308 up, and saw G1492 the rich G4145 men casting G906 their gifts G1435 into G1519 the treasury. G1049

And he said, G2036 Of a truth G230 I say G3004 to you, that this G3778 poor G4434 widow G5503 has cast G906 in more G4119 than they all: G3956

And all G3956 that believed G4100 were together, G1909 G3588 G846 and had G2192 all G537 things common; G2839

And they, continuing G4342 daily G2596 G2250 with one G3661 accord G3661 in the temple, G2411 and breaking G2806 bread G740 from house G3624 to house, G3624 did eat G3335 their meat G5160 with gladness G20 and singleness G858 of heart, G2588

And with great G3173 power G1411 gave G591 the apostles G652 witness G3142 of the resurrection G386 of the Lord G2962 Jesus: G2424 and great G3173 grace G5485 was on them all. G3956

And laid G5087 them down at G3844 the apostles' G652 feet: G4228 and distribution G1239 was made G1239 to every G1538 man according G2530 as he had G2192 need. G5532

And there stood G450 up one G1520 of them named G3686 Agabus, G13 and signified G4591 by the Spirit G4151 that there should G3195 be great G3173 dearth G3042 throughout G1909 all G3650 the world: G3625 which G3748 came G1096 to pass in the days G1909 of Claudius G2804 Caesar. G2541

Which G3739 also G2532 they did, G4160 and sent G649 it to the elders G4245 by the hands G5495 of Barnabas G921 and Saul. G4569

Moreover, G1161 brothers, G80 we do G1107 you to wit G1107 of the grace G5485 of God G2316 bestowed G1325 on G1722 the churches G1577 of Macedonia; G3109

For to their power, G1411 I bear G3140 record, G3140 yes, and beyond G5228 their power G1411 they were willing G830 of themselves; G830

And this they did, not as we hoped, G1679 but first G4412 gave G1325 their own selves G1438 to the Lord, G2962 and to us by the will G2307 of God. G2316

Therefore, G235 as you abound G4052 in every G3956 thing, in faith, G4102 and utterance, G3056 and knowledge, G1108 and in all G3956 diligence, G4710 and in your G5209 love G26 to us, see that you abound G4052 in this G5124 grace G5485 also. G2532

For you know G1097 the grace G5485 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that, though he was rich, G4145 yet for your G5216 sakes he became G4433 poor, G4433 that you through his poverty G4432 might be rich. G4147

So G3779 being affectionately G2442 desirous G2442 of you, we were willing G2106 to have imparted G3330 to you, not the gospel G2098 of God G2316 only, G3440 but also G2532 our own G1438 souls, G5590 because G1360 you were dear G27 to us.

Use G5382 hospitality G5382 one G240 to another G240 without G427 grudging. G1112

If G1487 any G1536 man speak, G2980 let him speak G2980 as the oracles G3051 of God; G2316 if G1487 any G1536 man minister, G1247 let him do it as of the ability G2479 which G3739 God G2316 gives: G5524 that God G2316 in all G3956 things may be glorified G1392 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to whom G3739 be praise G1391 and dominion G2904 for ever G165 and ever. G165 Amen. G281

For our rejoicing G2746 is this, G3778 the testimony G3142 of our conscience, G4893 that in simplicity G572 and godly G2316 sincerity, G1505 not with fleshly G4559 wisdom, G4678 but by the grace G5485 of God, G2316 we have had our conversation G390 in the world, G2889 and more G4056 abundantly G4056 to you-ward G4314 G5209 .

How that in a great G4183 trial G1382 of affliction G2347 the abundance G4050 of their joy G5479 and their deep G899 poverty G4432 abounded G4052 to the riches G4149 of their liberality. G572

But I fear, G5399 lest G3381 by any G3381 means, G4458 as the serpent G3789 beguiled G1818 Eve G2096 through G1722 his subtlety, G3834 so G3779 your G5216 minds G3540 should be corrupted G5351 from the simplicity G572 that is in Christ. G5547

Servants, G1401 be obedient G5219 to them that are your masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh, G4561 with fear G5401 and trembling, G5156 in singleness G572 of your G5216 heart, G2588 as to Christ; G5547

Servants, G1401 obey G5219 in all G3956 things your G3588 masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh; G4561 not with eye-service, G3787 as men pleasers; G441 but in singleness G572 of heart, G2588 fearing G5399 God; G2316

For for this G5124 cause G1223 pay G5055 you tribute G5411 also: G2532 for they are God's G2316 ministers, G3011 attending G4342 continually G4342 on this G5124 very G846 thing.

For I know H3045 him, that he will command H6680 his children H1121 and his household H1004 after H310 him, and they shall keep H8104 the way H1870 of the LORD, H3068 to do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment; H4941 that the LORD H3068 may bring H935 on Abraham H85 that which H834 he has spoken H1696 of him.

A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 I will sing H7891 of mercy H2617 and judgment: H4941 to you, O LORD, H3068 will I sing. H2167

I will set H7896 no H3808 wicked H1100 thing H1697 before H5048 my eyes: H5869 I hate H8130 the work H6213 of them that turn H7750 aside; H7750 it shall not stick H1692 to me.

Whoever privately H5643 slanders H3960 his neighbor, H7453 him will I cut H6789 off: him that has an high H1362 look H5869 and a proud H7342 heart H3824 will not I suffer. H3201

He that works H6213 deceit H7423 shall not dwell H3427 within H7130 my house: H1004 he that tells H1696 lies H8267 shall not tarry H3559 in my sight. H5869

Then G5119 the deputy, G446 when he saw G1492 what G3588 was done, G1096 believed, G4100 being astonished G1605 at G1909 the doctrine G1322 of the Lord. G2962

Take heed G4337 therefore to yourselves, G1438 and to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 has made G5087 you overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he has purchased G4046 with his own G2398 blood. G129

And God G2316 has set G5087 some G3588 G3303 in the church, G1577 first G4412 apostles, G652 secondarily G1208 prophets, G4396 thirdly G5154 teachers, G1320 after G1899 that miracles, G1411 then G1534 gifts G5486 of healings, G2386 helps, G484 governments, G2941 diversities G1085 of tongues. G1100

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;

Now G1161 we exhort G3870 you, brothers, G80 warn G3560 them that are unruly, G813 comfort G3888 the feebleminded, G3642 support G472 the weak, G772 be patient G3114 toward G4314 all G3956 men.

One that rules G4291 well G2573 his own G2398 house, G3624 having G2192 his children G5043 in subjection G5292 with all G3956 gravity; G4587

(For if G1487 a man G5100 know G1492 not how to rule G4291 his own G2398 house, G3624 how G4459 shall he take care G1959 of the church G1577 of God? G2316 )

Let the elders G4245 that rule G4291 well G2573 be counted G515 worthy G515 of double G1362 honor, G5092 especially G3122 they who labor G2872 in the word G3056 and doctrine. G1319

Remember G3421 them which have G3918 the rule G2233 over you, who G3748 have G3918 spoken G2980 to you the word G3056 of God: G2316 whose G3739 faith G4102 follow, G3401 considering G333 the end G1545 of their conversation. G391

Obey G3982 them that have the rule G2233 over you, and submit G5226 yourselves: G5216 for they watch G69 for your G5216 souls, G5590 as they that must give G591 account, G3056 that they may do G4160 it with joy, G5479 and not with grief: G4727 for that is unprofitable G255 for you.

Salute G782 all G3956 them that have the rule G2233 over you, and all G3956 the saints. G40 They of Italy G2482 salute G782 you.

Feed G4165 the flock G4168 of God G2316 which is among G1722 you, taking the oversight G1983 thereof, not by constraint, G317 but willingly; G1596 not for filthy G147 lucre, G147 but of a ready G4289 mind; G4290

Neither G3366 as being lords G2634 over G2634 God's G2316 heritage, G2819 but being G1096 ensamples G5179 to the flock. G4168

Whatever H3605 H834 your hand H3027 finds H4672 to do, H6213 do H6213 it with your might; H3581 for there is no H369 work, H4639 nor device, H2808 nor knowledge, H1847 nor wisdom, H2451 in the grave, H7585 where H834 H8033 you go. H1980

And you shall rejoice H8055 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 you, and your son, H1121 and your daughter, H1323 and your manservant, H5650 and your maidservant, H519 and the Levite H3881 that is within your gates, H8179 and the stranger, H1616 and the fatherless, H3490 and the widow, H490 that are among H7130 you, in the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has chosen H977 to place H7931 his name H8034 there. H8033

And you shall rejoice H8055 in your feast, H2282 you, and your son, H1121 and your daughter, H1323 and your manservant, H5650 and your maidservant, H519 and the Levite, H3881 the stranger, H1616 and the fatherless, H3490 and the widow, H490 that are within your gates. H8179

Seven H7651 days H3117 shall you keep H2287 a solemn H2287 feast H2287 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 shall choose: H977 because H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall bless H1288 you in all H3605 your increase, H8393 and in all H3605 the works H4639 of your hands, H3027 therefore you shall surely H389 rejoice. H8055

The wicked H7563 borrows, H3867 and pays H7999 not again: H7999 but the righteous H6662 shows mercy, H2603 and gives. H5414

You meet H6293 him that rejoices H7797 and works H6213 righteousness, H6664 those that remember H2142 you in your ways: H1870 behold, H2005 you are wroth; H7107 for we have sinned: H2398 in those H1992 is continuance, H5769 and we shall be saved. H3467

Every G1538 man according G2531 as he purposes G4255 in his heart, G2588 so let him give; not grudgingly, G1537 G3077 or G2228 of necessity: G318 for God G2316 loves G25 a cheerful G2431 giver. G1395
