To the law H8451 and to the testimony: H8584 if H518 they speak H559 not according to this H2088 word, H1697 it is because H834 there is no H369 light H7837 in them.

These G3778 were more noble G2104 than those G3588 in Thessalonica, G2332 in that they received G1209 the word G3056 with all G3956 readiness G4288 of mind, G4288 and searched G350 the scriptures G1124 daily, G2596 G2596 whether G1487 those G5023 things were so. G3779

That we from now on G3063 be no G3371 more G2001 children, G3516 tossed G2831 to and fro, G2831 and carried G4064 about G4064 with every G3956 wind G417 of doctrine, G1319 by the sleight G2940 of men, G444 and cunning craftiness, G3834 whereby G4314 they lie G3180 in wait G3180 to deceive; G4106

Beloved, G27 believe G4100 not every G3956 spirit, G4151 but try G1381 the spirits G4151 whether G1487 they are of God: G2316 because G3754 many G4183 false G5578 prophets G5578 are gone G1831 out into G1519 the world. G2889

And you shall remember H2142 all H3605 the way H1870 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 led H3212 you these H2088 forty H705 years H8141 in the wilderness, H4057 to humble H6031 you, and to prove H5254 you, to know H3045 what H853 H834 was in your heart, H3824 whether you would keep H8104 his commandments, H4687 or no. H3808

For you, O God, H430 have proved H974 us: you have tried H6884 us, as silver H3701 is tried. H6884

You called H7121 in trouble, H6869 and I delivered H2502 you; I answered H6030 you in the secret H5643 place of thunder: H7482 I proved H974 you at H5291 the waters H4325 of Meribah. H4809 Selah. H5542

For there shall arise G1453 false Christs, G5580 and false G5578 prophets, G5578 and shall show G1325 great G3173 signs G4592 and wonders; G5059 so G5620 that, if G1487 it were possible, G1415 they shall deceive G4105 the very G2532 elect. G1588

For there must G1163 be also G2532 heresies G139 among G1722 you, that they which are approved G1384 may be made G1096 manifest G5318 among G1722 you.

And for this G5124 cause G1223 God G2316 shall send G3992 them strong G1753 delusion, G4106 that they should believe G4100 a lie: G5579

They went G1831 out from us, but they were not of us; for if G1487 they had been G2258 of us, they would no doubt G639 have continued G3306 with us: but they went out, that they might be made G5319 manifest G5319 that they were not all G3956 of us.

You are of God, G2316 little G5040 children, G5040 and have overcome G3528 them: because G3754 greater G3187 is he that is in you, than G2228 he that is in the world. G2889

And deceives G4105 them that dwell G2730 on G1909 the earth G1093 by the means of those G3588 miracles G4592 which G3739 he had power G1325 to do G4160 in the sight G1799 of the beast; G2342 saying G3004 to them that dwell G2730 on G1909 the earth, G1093 that they should make G4160 an image G1504 to the beast, G2342 which G3739 had G2192 the wound G4127 by a sword, G3162 and did live. G2198

And you shall love H157 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart, H3824 and with all H3605 your soul, H5315 and with all H3605 your might. H3966

I speak G3004 not by commandment, G2003 but by occasion G1223 of the forwardness G4710 of others, G2087 and to prove G1381 the sincerity G1103 of your G5212 love. G26
