For I have G2192 not shunned G5288 to declare G312 to you all G3956 the counsel G1012 of God. G2316

And I, brothers, G80 when I came G2064 to you, came G2064 not with excellency G5247 of speech G3056 or G2228 of wisdom, G4678 declaring G2605 to you the testimony G3142 of God. G2316

Which G3739 things also G2532 we speak, G2980 not in the words G3056 which man's G442 wisdom G4678 teaches, G1318 but which the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 teaches; G1318 comparing G4793 spiritual G4152 things with spiritual. G4152

For Christ G5547 sent G649 me not to baptize, G907 but to preach G2097 the gospel: G2097 not with wisdom G4678 of words, G3056 lest G2443 G3361 the cross G4716 of Christ G5547 should be made G2758 of none G2758 effect. G2758

And it came H1961 to pass on the seventh H7637 day, H3117 that they said H559 to Samson's H8123 wife, H802 Entice H6601 your husband, H376 that he may declare H5046 to us the riddle, H2420 lest H6435 we burn H8313 you and your father's H1 house H1004 with fire: H784 have you called H7121 us to take H3423 that we have? is it not so?

And the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up to her, and said H559 to her, Entice H6601 him, and see H7200 wherein H4100 his great H1419 strength H3581 lies, and by what H4100 means we may prevail H3201 against him, that we may bind H631 him to afflict H6031 him; and we will give H5414 you every H376 one H376 of us eleven H505 H3967 hundred H3967 pieces of silver. H3701

Then your handmaid H8198 said, H559 The word H1697 of my lord H113 the king H4428 shall now H4994 be comfortable: H4496 for as an angel H4397 of God, H430 so H3651 is my lord H113 the king H4428 to discern H8085 good H2896 and bad: H7451 therefore the LORD H3068 your God H430 will be with you.

And the king H4428 said, H559 Is not the hand H3027 of Joab H3097 with you in all H3605 this? H2063 And the woman H802 answered H6030 and said, H559 As your soul H5315 lives, H2416 my lord H113 the king, H4428 none H376 can turn to the right H3231 hand H3231 or to the left H8041 from ought that my lord H113 the king H4428 has spoken: H1696 for your servant H5650 Joab, H3097 he bade H6680 me, and he put H7760 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 in the mouth H6310 of your handmaid: H8198

And Absalom H53 rose H7925 up early, H7925 and stood beside H5921 H3027 the way H1870 of the gate: H8179 and it was so, that when any H3605 man H376 that had H1961 a controversy H7379 came H935 to the king H4428 for judgment, H4941 then Absalom H53 called H7121 to him, and said, H559 Of what H4310 city H5892 are you? And he said, H559 Your servant H5650 is of one H259 of the tribes H7626 of Israel. H3478

Absalom H53 said H559 moreover, Oh that I were made H7760 judge H8199 in the land, H776 that every H3605 man H376 which H834 has any suit H7379 or cause H4941 might come H935 to me, and I would do him justice! H6663

And on this H2088 manner H1697 did H6213 Absalom H53 to all H3605 Israel H3478 that came H935 to the king H4428 for judgment: H4941 so Absalom H53 stole H1589 the hearts H3820 of the men H582 of Israel. H3478

And the messenger H4397 that was gone H1980 to call H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 to him, saying, H559 Behold H2009 now, H4994 the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 declare good H2896 to the king H4428 with one H259 mouth: H6310 let your word, H1697 I pray H4994 you, be like the word H1697 of one H259 of them, and speak H1696 that which is good. H2896

And Micaiah H4321 said, H559 As the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 what H3588 the LORD H3068 said H559 to me, that will I speak. H1696

And the LORD H3068 said, H559 Who H4310 shall entice H6601 Ahab king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that he may go H5927 up and fall H5307 at Ramothgilead? H7433 And one spoke H559 saying H559 after H3602 this H3602 manner, H3541 and another H2088 saying H559 after H3602 that manner.

And he said, H559 I will go H3318 out, and be a lying H8267 spirit H7307 in the mouth H6310 of all H3605 his prophets. H5030 And the Lord said, H559 You shall entice H6601 him, and you shall also H1571 prevail: H3201 go H3318 out, and do H6213 even so. H3651

With her much H7230 fair H3948 speech H3948 she caused him to yield, H5186 with the flattering H2506 of her lips H8193 she forced H5080 him.

He that goes H1980 about H1980 as a talebearer H7400 reveals H1540 secrets: H5475 therefore meddle H6148 not with him that flatters H6601 with his lips. H8193

For I heard H8085 the defaming H1681 of many, H7227 fear H4032 on every H5437 side. H5439 Report, H5046 say they, and we will report H5046 it. All H3605 my familiars H7965 watched H8104 for my halting, H6761 saying, Peradventure H194 he will be enticed, H6601 and we shall prevail H3201 against him, and we shall take H3947 our revenge H5360 on him.

They have seen H2372 vanity H7723 and lying H3577 divination, H7081 saying, H559 The LORD H3068 said: H5002 and the LORD H3068 has not sent H7971 them: and they have made others to hope H3176 that they would confirm H6965 the word. H1697

Because, H3282 even because H3282 they have seduced H2937 my people, H5971 saying, H559 Peace; H7965 and there was no H369 peace; H7965 and one built H1129 up a wall, H2434 and, see, H2009 others daubed H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar:

Say H559 to them which daub H2902 it with untempered H8602 mortar, that it shall fall: H5307 there shall be an overflowing H7857 shower; H1653 and you, O great H417 hailstones, H68 H417 shall fall; H5307 and a stormy H5591 wind H7307 shall rend H1234 it.

For they that are such G5108 serve G1398 not our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but their own G1438 belly; G2836 and by good G5542 words G5542 and fair G2129 speeches G2129 deceive G1818 the hearts G2588 of the simple. G172

And this G5124 I say, G3004 lest G2443 G3361 any G3387 man should beguile G3884 you with enticing G4086 words. G4086

For we have not followed G1811 cunningly devised G4679 fables, G3454 when we made G1107 known G1107 to you the power G1411 and coming G3952 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but were eyewitnesses G2030 of his majesty. G3168

For when they speak G5350 great G5246 swelling G5246 words of vanity, G3153 they allure G1185 through G1722 the lusts G1939 of the flesh, G4561 through much wantonness, G766 those G3588 that were clean G3689 escaped G668 from them who live G390 in error. G4106

Then G1161 Agrippa G67 said G5346 to Paul, G3972 Almost G1722 G3641 you persuade G3982 me to be a Christian. G5546

For do I now G737 persuade G3982 men, G444 or G2228 God? G2316 or G2228 do I seek G2212 to please G700 men? G444 for if G1487 I yet G2089 pleased G700 men, G444 I should not be the servant G1401 of Christ. G5547

For the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is not in word, G3056 but in power. G1411

And when he is come, G2064 he will reprove G1651 the world G2889 of sin, G266 and of righteousness, G1343 and of judgment: G2920

Of righteousness, G1343 because G3754 I go G5217 to my Father, G3962 and you see G2334 me no G3765 more; G2089

I have G2192 yet G2089 many G4183 things to say G3004 to you, but you cannot G3756 G1410 bear G941 them now. G737

He shall glorify G1392 me: for he shall receive G2983 of mine, G1699 and shall show G312 it to you.

Through G1722 mighty G1411 signs G4592 and wonders, G5059 by the power G1411 of the Spirit G4151 of God; G2316 so G5620 that from Jerusalem, G2419 and round G2943 about G2945 to Illyricum, G2437 I have fully G4137 preached G4137 the gospel G2098 of Christ. G5547

For our gospel G2098 came G1096 not to you in word G3056 only, G3440 but also G2532 in power, G1411 and in the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and in much G4183 assurance; G4136 as you know G1492 what G3634 manner G3634 of men we were among G1722 you for your G5209 sake.

To whom G3739 it was revealed, G601 that not to themselves, G1438 but to us they did minister G1247 the things, G846 which G3739 are now G3568 reported G312 to you by them that have preached G2097 the gospel G2097 to you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 sent G649 down from heaven; G3772 which G3739 things the angels G32 desire G1937 to look G3879 into. G1519
