Brothers, G80 be not children G3813 in understanding: G5424 however, G235 in malice G2549 be you children, G3515 but in understanding G5424 be men. G5046

There was a man H376 in the land H776 of Uz, H5780 whose name H8034 was Job; H347 and that man H376 was perfect H8535 and upright, H3477 and one that feared H3373 God, H430 and eschewed H5493 evil. H7451

Mark H8104 the perfect H8535 man, and behold H7200 the upright: H3477 for the end H319 of that man H376 is peace. H7965

Be you therefore G3767 perfect, G5046 even G5618 as your G5216 Father G3962 which G3588 is in heaven G3772 is perfect. G5046

Jesus G2424 said G5346 to him, If G1487 you will G2309 be perfect, G5046 go G5217 and sell G4453 that you have, G5224 and give G1325 to the poor, G4434 and you shall have G2192 treasure G2344 in heaven: G3772 and come G1204 and follow G190 me.

Finally, G3063 brothers, G80 farewell. G5463 Be perfect, G2675 be of good comfort, G3870 be of one G3588 G846 mind, G5426 live G1514 in peace; G1518 and the God G2316 of love G26 and peace G1515 shall be with you.

And he gave G1325 some, G3588 apostles; G652 and some, G3588 prophets; G4396 and some, G3588 evangelists; G2099 and some, G3588 pastors G4166 and teachers; G1320

Till G3360 we all G3956 come G2658 in the unity G1775 of the faith, G4102 and of the knowledge G1922 of the Son G5207 of God, G2316 to a perfect G5046 man, G435 to the measure G3358 of the stature G2244 of the fullness G4138 of Christ: G5547

Not as though G3754 I had already G2235 attained, G2983 either G2228 were already G2235 perfect: G5048 but I follow G1377 after, if G1499 that I may apprehend G2638 that for which G3739 also G2532 I am apprehended G2638 of Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424

I press G1377 toward G2596 the mark G4649 for the prize G1017 of the high G507 calling G2821 of God G2316 in Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424

Epaphras, G1889 who G3588 is one of you, a servant G1401 of Christ, G5547 salutes G782 you, always G3842 laboring G75 fervently for you in prayers, G4335 that you may stand G2476 perfect G5046 and complete G4137 in all G3956 the will G2307 of God. G2316

But strong G4731 meat G5160 belongs G1510 to them that are of full G5046 age, G5046 even those G3588 who by reason G1223 of use G1838 have G2192 their senses G145 exercised G1128 to discern G1253 both G5037 good G2570 and evil. G2556

For in many G4183 things we offend G4417 all. G537 If G1487 any G1536 man offend G4417 not in word, G3056 the same G3778 is a perfect G5046 man, G435 and able G1415 also G2532 to bridle G5469 the whole G3650 body. G4983

But the God G2316 of all G3956 grace, G5485 who G3588 has called G2564 us to his eternal G166 glory G1391 by Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 after that you have suffered G3958 a while, G3641 make G2675 you perfect, G2675 establish, G4741 strengthen, G4599 settle G2311 you.

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 the preaching G3056 of the cross G4716 is to them that perish G622 foolishness; G3472 but to us which are saved G4982 it is the power G1411 of God. G2316

For it is written, G1125 I will destroy G622 the wisdom G4678 of the wise, G4680 and will bring G114 to nothing G114 the understanding G4907 of the prudent. G4908

And the lord G2962 commended G1867 the unjust G93 steward, G3622 because G3754 he had done G4160 wisely: G5430 for the children G5207 of this G5127 world G165 are in their generation G1074 wiser G5429 than G5228 the children G5207 of light. G5457

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 .

In whom G3739 the god G2316 of this G5127 world G165 has blinded G5186 the minds G3540 of them which believe G571 not, lest G1519 the light G5462 of the glorious G1391 gospel G2098 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 is the image G1504 of God, G2316 should shine G826 to them.

Wherein G1722 G3757 in time G4218 past you walked G4043 according G2596 to the course G165 of this G5127 world, G2889 according G2596 to the prince G758 of the power G1849 of the air, G109 the spirit G4151 that now G3568 works G1754 in the children G5207 of disobedience: G543

This G3778 wisdom G4678 descends G2718 not from above, G509 but is earthly, G1919 sensual, G5591 devilish. G1141

Which G3739 none G3762 of the princes G758 of this G5127 world G165 knew: G1097 for had they known G1097 it, they would not have crucified G4717 the Lord G2962 of glory. G1391

He leads H3212 princes H3548 away spoiled, H7758 and overthrows H5557 the mighty. H386

He pours H8210 contempt H937 on princes, H5081 and weakens H7503 the strength H4206 of the mighty. H650

Why H4100 do the heathen H1471 rage, H7283 and the people H3816 imagine H1897 a vain H7385 thing?

Let us break H5423 their bands H4147 asunder, and cast H7993 away their cords H5688 from us.

Then H227 shall he speak H1696 to them in his wrath, H639 and vex H926 them in his sore displeasure. H2740

Surely H389 the princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are fools, H191 the counsel H6098 of the wise H2450 counsellors H3289 of Pharaoh H6547 is become H1197 brutish: H1197 how H349 say H559 you to Pharaoh, H6547 I am the son H1121 of the wise, H2450 the son H1121 of ancient H6924 kings? H4428

The princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are become H2973 fools, H2973 the princes H8269 of Noph H5297 are deceived; H5377 they have also seduced H8582 Egypt, H4714 even they that are the stay H6438 of the tribes H7626 thereof.

That brings H5414 the princes H7336 to nothing; H369 he makes H6213 the judges H8199 of the earth H776 as vanity. H8414

Who G3588 by the mouth G4750 of your servant G3816 David G1138 have said, G2036 Why G2444 did the heathen G1484 rage, G5433 and the people G2992 imagine G3191 vain G2756 things?

For of a truth G225 against G1909 your holy G40 child G3816 Jesus, G2424 whom G3739 you have anointed, G5548 both G5037 Herod, G2264 and Pontius G4194 Pilate, G4091 with the Gentiles, G1484 and the people G2992 of Israel, G2474 were gathered G4863 together, G4863

And base G36 things of the world, G2889 and things which are despised, G1848 has God G2316 chosen, G1586 yes, and things which G3588 are not, to bring G2673 to nothing G2673 things that are:

The LORD H3068 brings H6331 the counsel H6098 of the heathen H1471 to nothing: H6331 he makes the devices H4284 of the people H5971 of none H5106 effect. H5106
