And herein G1722 G5129 I give G1325 my advice: G1106 for this G5124 is expedient G4851 for you, who G3748 have begun G4278 before, G4278 not only G3440 to do, G4160 but also G2532 to be forward G2309 a year G4070 ago. G575

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

But I speak G3004 this G5124 by permission, G4774 and not of commandment. G2003

But to the rest G3062 speak G3004 I, not the Lord: G2962 If G1487 any G1536 brother G80 has G2192 a wife G1135 that believes G571 not, and she be pleased G4909 to dwell G3611 with him, let him not put G863 her away. G863

Now G1161 concerning G4012 virgins G3933 I have G2192 no G3756 commandment G2003 of the Lord: G2962 yet G1161 I give G1325 my judgment, G1106 as one that has obtained G1653 mercy G1653 of the Lord G2962 to be faithful. G4103

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

For I know G1492 the forwardness G4288 of your G5216 mind, G4288 for which G3739 I boast G2744 of you to them of Macedonia, G3110 that Achaia G882 was ready G3903 a year G4070 ago; G575 and your G5216 zeal G2205 has provoked G2042 very G4119 many. G4119

Now G1161 if G1487 the fall G3900 of them be the riches G4149 of the world, G2889 and the diminishing G2275 of them the riches G4149 of the Gentiles; G1484 how G4214 much G4214 more G3123 their fullness? G4138

If G1513 by any G4458 means G4458 I may provoke G3863 to emulation G3863 them which are my flesh, G4561 and might save G4982 some G5100 of them.

And let us consider G2657 one G240 another G240 to provoke G3948 to love G26 and to good G2570 works: G2041

Why G3767 show G1731 you to them, and before G1519 G4383 the churches, G1577 the proof G1732 of your G5216 love, G26 and of our boasting G2746 on G5228 your G5216 behalf. G5228

By pureness, G54 by knowledge, G1108 by long-suffering, G3115 by kindness, G5544 by the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 by love G26 unfeigned, G505

Now H6258 therefore fear H3372 the LORD, H3068 and serve H5647 him in sincerity H8549 and in truth: H571 and put H5493 away H5493 the gods H430 which H834 your fathers H1 served H5647 on the other H5676 side H5676 of the flood, H5104 and in Egypt; H4714 and serve H5647 you the LORD. H3068

And they come H935 to you as the people H5971 comes, H935 and they sit H3427 before H6440 you as my people, H5971 and they hear H8085 your words, H1697 but they will not do H6213 them: for with their mouth H6310 they show H6213 much love, H5690 but their heart H3820 goes H1980 after H310 their covetousness. H1215

Let love G26 be without G505 dissimulation. G505 Abhor G655 that which is evil; G4190 hold G2853 to that which is good. G18

But speaking G226 the truth G226 in love, G26 may grow G837 up into G1519 him in all G3956 things, which G3739 is the head, G2776 even Christ: G5547

Grace G5485 be with all G3956 them that love G25 our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 in sincerity. G861 Amen. G281 To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.

What G5101 does it profit, G3786 my brothers, G80 though G1437 a man G5100 say G3004 he has G2192 faith, G4102 and have G2192 not works? G2041 can G1410 faith G4102 save G4982 him?

And one G5100 of you say G2036 to them, Depart G5217 in peace, G1515 be you warmed G2328 and filled; G5526 notwithstanding you give G1325 them not those G3588 things which are needful G2006 to the body; G4983 what G5101 does it profit? G3786

Seeing you have purified G48 your G5216 souls G5590 in obeying G5218 the truth G225 through G1223 the Spirit G4151 to unfeigned G505 love G5360 of the brothers, G5360 see that you love G25 one G240 another G240 with a pure G2513 heart G2588 fervently: G1619

But whoever G3739 G302 has G2192 this G3588 world's G2889 good, G979 and sees G2334 his brother G80 have G2192 need, G5532 and shuts G2808 up his bowels G4698 of compassion from him, how G4459 dwells G3306 the love G26 of God G2316 in him?

And hereby G1722 G5129 we know G1097 that we are of the truth, G225 and shall assure G3982 our hearts G2588 before G1715 him.
