As you know G1492 how G5613 we exhorted and comforted G3888 and charged G3143 every G1538 one G1520 of you, as a father G3962 does his children, G5043

I beseech G3870 you therefore, G3767 brothers, G80 by the mercies G3628 of God, G2316 that you present G3936 your G5216 bodies G4983 a living G2198 sacrifice, G2378 holy, G40 acceptable G2101 to God, G2316 which is your G5216 reasonable G3050 service. G2999

We then, G3767 as workers G4903 together G4903 with him, beseech G3870 you also G2532 that you receive G1209 not the grace G5485 of God G2316 in vain. G2756

Now G1161 I Paul G3972 myself beseech G3870 you by the meekness G4236 and gentleness G1932 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 in presence G4383 am base G5011 among G1722 you, but being absent G548 am bold G2292 toward G1519 you:

I therefore, G3767 the prisoner G1198 of the Lord, G2962 beseech G3870 you that you walk G4043 worthy G516 of the vocation G2821 with which G3739 you are called, G2564

Yet for love's G26 sake I rather G3123 beseech G3870 you, being G5607 such G5108 an one as Paul G3972 the aged, G4246 and now G3570 also G2532 a prisoner G1198 of Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

I beseech G3870 you for my son G5043 Onesimus, G3682 whom G3739 I have begotten G1080 in my bonds: G1199

And I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 suffer G430 the word G3056 of exhortation: G3874 for I have written G1989 a letter G1989 to you in few G1024 words.

For you know G1492 what G5101 commandments G3852 we gave G1325 you by the Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

But you have not so G3779 learned G3129 Christ; G5547

Now G1161 we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 by the coming G3952 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and by our gathering G1997 together G1997 to him,

I charge G1263 you before G1799 God, G2316 and the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and the elect G1588 angels, G32 that you observe G5442 these G5023 things without G5565 preferring G4299 one before G4299 another, G4299 doing G4160 nothing G3367 by partiality. G4346

I give you charge G3853 in the sight G1799 of God, G2316 who G3588 vivifies G2227 all G3956 things, and before Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 who G3588 before G1909 Pontius G4194 Pilate G4091 witnessed G3140 a good G2570 confession; G3671

That you keep G5083 this G3588 commandment G1785 without G784 spot, G784 unrebukable, G423 until G3360 the appearing G2015 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547

I charge G1263 you therefore G3767 before G1799 God, G2316 and the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 who G3588 shall judge G2919 the quick G2198 and the dead G3498 at G2596 his appearing G2015 and his kingdom; G932

And that you study G5389 to be quiet, G2270 and to do G4238 your G2398 own G2398 business, G2398 and to work G2038 with your G2398 own G2398 hands, G5495 as we commanded G3853 you;

That you may walk G4043 honestly G2156 toward G4314 them that are without, G1854 and that you may have G2192 lack G5532 of nothing. G3367

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

For I have G2192 received G3880 of the Lord G2962 that which G3739 also G2532 I delivered G3860 to you, That the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 the same G846 night G3571 in which G3739 he was betrayed G3860 took G2983 bread: G740

Moreover, G1161 brothers, G80 I declare G1107 to you the gospel G2098 which G3739 I preached G2097 to you, which G3739 also G2532 you have G2192 received, G3880 and wherein G1722 G3757 you stand; G2476

Only G3440 let your conversation G4176 be as it becomes G516 the gospel G2098 of Christ: G5547 that whether G1535 I come G2064 and see G1492 you, or G1535 else be absent, G548 I may hear G191 of your G5216 affairs, G4012 that you stand G4739 fast in one G1520 spirit, G4151 with one G3391 mind G5590 striving G4866 together G4866 for the faith G4102 of the gospel; G2098

As you have therefore G3767 received G3880 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 the Lord, G2962 so walk G4043 you in him:

For even G2532 when G3753 we were with you, this G5124 we commanded G3853 you, that if G1487 any G1536 would G2309 not work, G2038 neither G3366 should he eat. G2068

Now G1161 them that are such G5108 we command G3853 and exhort G3870 by our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that with quietness G2271 they work, G2038 and eat G2068 their own G1438 bread. G740

That you would walk G4043 worthy G516 of God, G2316 who G3588 has called G2564 you to his kingdom G932 and glory. G1391

So then G1161 they that are in the flesh G4561 cannot G3756 G1410 please G700 God. G2316

And be not conformed G4964 to this G5129 world: G165 but be you transformed G3339 by the renewing G342 of your G5216 mind, G3563 that you may prove G1381 what G5101 is that good, G18 and acceptable, G2101 and perfect, G5046 will G2307 of God. G2316

Why G1223 G5124 be you not unwise, G878 but understanding G4920 what G5101 the will G2307 of the Lord G2962 is.

That you might walk G4043 worthy G516 of the Lord G2962 to all G3956 pleasing, G699 being fruitful G2592 in every G3956 good G18 work, G2041 and increasing G837 in the knowledge G1922 of God; G2316

But without G5565 faith G4102 it is impossible G102 to please G2100 him: for he that comes G4334 to God G2316 must G1163 believe G4100 that he is, and that he is a rewarder G3406 of them that diligently G1567 seek G1567 him.

But to do G2140 good G2140 and to communicate G2842 forget G1950 not: for with such G5108 sacrifices G2378 God G2316 is well G2100 pleased. G2100

And whatever G3739 G1437 we ask, G154 we receive G2983 of him, because G3754 we keep G5083 his commandments, G1785 and do G4160 those G3588 things that are pleasing G701 in his sight. G1799

And indeed G1063 you do G4160 it toward G1519 all G3956 the brothers G80 which G3588 are in all G3650 Macedonia: G3109 but we beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 that you increase G4052 more G3123 and more; G3123

The righteous H6662 also shall hold H270 on his way, H1870 and he that has clean H2891 hands H3027 shall be stronger H555 and stronger.

They shall still H5750 bring H5107 forth H5107 fruit H5107 in old H7872 age; H7872 they shall be fat H1879 and flourishing; H7488

But the path H734 of the just H6662 is as the shining H5051 light, H216 that shines H215 more H1980 and more H1980 to the perfect H3559 day. H3117

Every G3956 branch G2814 in me that bears G5342 not fruit G2590 he takes G142 away: and every G3956 branch that bears G5342 fruit, G2590 he purges G2508 it, that it may bring G5342 forth more G4119 fruit. G2590

Therefore, G5620 my beloved G27 brothers, G80 be you steadfast, G1476 unmovable, G277 always G3842 abounding G4052 in the work G2041 of the Lord, G2962 for as much as you know G1492 that your G5216 labor G2873 is not in vain G2756 in the Lord. G2962

And this G5124 I pray, G4336 that your G5216 love G26 may abound G4052 yet G2089 more G3123 and more G3123 in knowledge G1922 and in all G3956 judgment; G144

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

We are bound G3784 to thank G2168 God G2316 always G3842 for you, brothers, G80 as it is meet, G514 because G3754 that your G5216 faith G4102 grows G5232 exceedingly, and the charity G26 of every G1538 one G1520 of you all G3956 toward G1519 each G240 other G240 abounds; G4121

And beside G846 this, G5124 giving G3923 all G3956 diligence, G4710 add G2023 to your G5216 faith G4102 virtue; G703 and to virtue G703 knowledge; G1108

And to godliness G2150 brotherly G5360 kindness; G5360 and to brotherly G5360 kindness G5360 charity. G26

But he that lacks G3361 G3918 these G5023 things is blind, G5185 and cannot G3467 see G3467 afar G3467 off, and has forgotten G3024 G2983 that he was purged G2512 from his old G3819 sins. G266

But grow G837 in grace, G5485 and in the knowledge G1108 of our Lord G2962 and Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 To him be glory G1391 both G2532 now G3568 and for ever. G2250 G165 Amen. G281
