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

Brothers, G80 I speak G3004 after G2596 the manner of men; G444 Though G3676 it be but a man's G444 covenant, G1242 yet if it be confirmed, G2964 no G3762 man G3762 cancels, G114 or G2228 adds G1928 thereto. G1928

But these, G3778 as natural G5446 brute G249 beasts, G2226 made G1080 to be taken G259 and destroyed, G5356 speak G987 evil G987 of the things that they understand G50 not; and shall utterly G2704 perish G2704 in their own G848 corruption; G5356

But these G3778 speak G987 evil G987 of those G3745 things which G3745 they know G1492 not: but what G3745 they know G1987 naturally, G5447 as brute G249 beasts, G2226 in those G5125 things they corrupt G5351 themselves.

And it came G1096 to pass, that, while G1722 G3588 Apollos G625 was at G1722 Corinth, G2882 Paul G3972 having passed G1330 through G1330 the upper G510 coasts G3313 came G2064 to Ephesus: G2181 and finding G2147 certain G5100 disciples, G3101

And the same G1565 time G2540 there arose G1096 no G3756 small G3641 stir G5017 about G4012 that way. G3598

Whom G3739 he called G4867 together G4867 with the workmen G2040 of like G5108 occupation, G5078 and said, G2036 Sirs, G435 you know G1987 that by this G5026 craft G2039 we have G2076 our wealth. G2142

So that not only G3440 this G5124 our craft G3313 is in danger G2793 to be set G2064 at G1519 nothing; G557 but also G2532 that the temple G2411 of the great G3173 goddess G2299 Diana G735 should be despised, G1519 G3762 G3049 and her magnificence G3168 should G3195 be destroyed, G2507 whom G3739 all G3650 Asia G773 and the world G3625 worships. G4576

And the whole G3650 city G4172 was filled G4130 with confusion: G4799 and having caught G4884 Gaius G1050 and Aristarchus, G708 men of Macedonia, G3110 Paul's G3972 companions G4898 in travel, G4898 they rushed G3729 with one G3661 accord G3661 into G1519 the theatre. G2302

And certain G5100 of the chief G775 of Asia, G775 which were his friends, G5384 sent G3992 to him, desiring G3870 him that he would not adventure G1325 himself G1438 into G1519 the theatre. G2302

And they drew G4264 Alexander G223 out of the multitude, G3793 the Jews G2453 putting G4261 him forward. G4261 And Alexander G223 beckoned G2678 with the hand, G5495 and would G2309 have made G626 his defense G626 to the people. G1218

And when the town clerk G1122 had appeased G2687 the people, G3793 he said, G5346 You men G435 of Ephesus, G2181 what G5101 man G444 is there that knows G1097 not how that the city G4172 of the Ephesians G2180 is a worshipper G3511 of the great G3173 goddess G2299 Diana, G735 and of the image which fell G1356 down from Jupiter? G1356

For you have brought G71 here these G5128 men, G435 which are neither G3777 robbers G2417 of churches, G2417 nor G3777 yet blasphemers G987 of your G5216 goddess. G2299

But if G1487 you inquire G1934 any G5100 thing concerning G4012 other G2087 matters, it shall be determined G1956 in a lawful G1772 assembly. G1577

And when he had thus G5023 spoken, G2036 he dismissed G630 the assembly. G1577

For we would G2309 not, brothers, G80 have you ignorant G50 of our trouble G2347 which G3588 came G1096 to us in Asia, G773 that we were pressed G916 out of measure, G5236 above G5228 strength, G1411 so G5620 that we despaired G1820 even G2532 of life: G2198

Who delivered G4506 us from so G5082 great G5082 a death, G2288 and does deliver: G4506 in whom G3739 we trust G1679 that he will yet G2089 deliver G4506 us;

For you said, H559 What H4100 advantage H5532 will it be to you? and, What H4100 profit H3276 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? H2403

Truly H389 I have cleansed H2135 my heart H3824 in vain, H7385 and washed H7364 my hands H3709 in innocence. H5356

You have said, H559 It is vain H7723 to serve H5647 God: H430 and what H4100 profit H1215 is it that we have kept H8104 his ordinance, H4931 and that we have walked H1980 mournfully H6941 before H6440 the LORD H3068 of hosts? H6635

And now H6258 we call H833 the proud H2086 happy; H833 yes, H1571 they that work H6213 wickedness H7564 are set H1129 up; yes, H1571 they that tempt H974 God H430 are even delivered. H4422

For what G5101 is a man G444 advantaged, G5623 if he gain G2770 the whole G3650 world, G2889 and lose G622 himself, G1438 or G2228 be cast G2210 away? G2210

There is nothing H369 better H2896 for a man, H120 than that he should eat H398 and drink, H8354 and that he should make his soul H5315 enjoy H7200 good H2896 in his labor. H5999 This H2088 also H1571 I saw, H7200 that it was from the hand H3027 of God. H430

Rejoice, H8055 O young H970 man, in your youth; H3208 and let your heart H3820 cheer H3190 you in the days H3117 of your youth, H979 and walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of your heart, H3820 and in the sight H4758 of your eyes: H5869 but know H3045 you, that for all H3605 these H428 things God H430 will bring H935 you into judgment. H4941

And behold H2009 joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 slaying H2026 oxen, H1241 and killing H7819 sheep, H6629 eating H398 flesh, H1320 and drinking H8354 wine: H3196 let us eat H398 and drink; H8354 for to morrow H4279 we shall die. H4191

Come H857 you, say they, I will fetch H3947 wine, H3196 and we will fill H5433 ourselves with strong drink; H7941 and to morrow H4279 shall be as this H2088 day, H3117 and much H3966 more H3499 abundant. H1419

And I will say G2046 to my soul, G5590 Soul, G5590 you have G2192 much G4183 goods G18 laid G2749 up for many G4183 years; G2094 take your ease, G373 eat, G5315 drink, G4095 and be merry. G2165
