Better H2896 is a dry H2720 morsel, H6595 and quietness H7962 therewith, than an house H1004 full H4392 of sacrifices H2077 with strife. H7379

Better H2896 is an handful H4393 H3709 with quietness, H5183 than both the hands H2651 full H4393 with travail H5999 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

It is good H2896 that a man should both hope H2342 and quietly wait H1748 for the salvation H8668 of the LORD. H3068

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

For kings, G935 and for all G3956 that are in authority; G5247 that we may lead G1236 a quiet G2263 and peaceable G2272 life G979 in all G3956 godliness G2150 and honesty. G4587

But let it be the hidden G2927 man G444 of the heart, G2588 in that which is not corruptible, G862 even the ornament of a meek G4239 and quiet G2272 spirit, G4151 which G3739 is in the sight G1799 of God G2316 of great G4185 price. G4185

Yes, G235 so G3779 have I strived G5389 to preach G2097 the gospel, G2097 not where G3699 Christ G5547 was named, G3687 lest G2443 G3361 I should build G3618 on another G245 man's G245 foundation: G2310

Why G1352 we labor, G5389 that, whether G1535 present G1736 or G1535 absent, G1553 we may be accepted G2101 of him.

For the Son of Man is as a man G444 taking a far journey, G590 who left G863 his house, G3614 and gave G1325 authority G1849 to his servants, G1401 and to every G1538 man his work, G2041 and commanded G1781 the porter G2377 to watch. G1127

And the Lord G2962 said, G2036 Who G5101 then G686 is that faithful G4103 and wise G5429 steward, G3623 whom G3739 his lord G2962 shall make G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them their portion G4620 of meat G4620 in due season? G2540

Blessed G3107 is that servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 when he comes G2064 shall find G2147 so G3779 doing. G4160

For as we have G2192 many G4183 members G3196 in one G1520 body, G4983 and all G3956 members G3196 have G2192 not the same G846 office: G4234

Having G2192 then G1161 gifts G5486 differing G1313 according G2596 to the grace G5485 that is given G1325 to us, whether G1535 prophecy, G4394 let us prophesy according G2596 to the proportion G356 of faith; G4102

Or G1535 he that exhorts, G3870 on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he that gives, G3330 let him do it with simplicity; G572 he that rules, G4291 with diligence; G4710 he that shows G1653 mercy, G1653 with cheerfulness. G2432

Servants, G1401 obey G5219 in all G3956 things your G3588 masters G2962 according G2596 to the flesh; G4561 not with eye-service, G3787 as men pleasers; G441 but in singleness G572 of heart, G2588 fearing G5399 God; G2316

Knowing G1492 that of the Lord G2962 you shall receive G618 the reward G469 of the inheritance: G2817 for you serve G1398 the Lord G2962 Christ. G5547

For we hear G191 that there are some G5100 which walk G4043 among G1722 you disorderly, G814 working G2038 not at G3367 all, G3367 but are busybodies. G4020

And with G260 they learn G3129 to be idle, G692 wandering G4022 about G4022 from house G3614 to house; G3614 and not only G3440 idle, G692 but tattlers G5397 also G2532 and busybodies, G4021 speaking G2980 things which G3588 they ought G1163 not.

That they may teach G4994 the young G3501 women to be sober, G4994 to love G5362 their husbands, G5362 to love G5388 their children, G5388

Young G3501 men likewise G5615 exhort G3870 to be sober G4993 minded. G4993

Sound G5199 speech, G3056 that cannot G176 be condemned; G176 that he that is of the contrary G1727 part may be ashamed, G1788 having G2192 no G3367 evil G5337 thing to say G3004 of you.

Not purloining, G3557 but showing G1731 all G3956 good G18 fidelity; G4102 that they may adorn G2885 the doctrine G1319 of God G2316 our Savior G4990 in all G3956 things.

As every G1538 man has received G2983 the gift, G5486 even so minister G1247 the same G846 one G1438 to another, G1438 as good G2570 stewards G3623 of the manifold G4164 grace G5485 of God. G2316

If G1487 any G1536 man speak, G2980 let him speak G2980 as the oracles G3051 of God; G2316 if G1487 any G1536 man minister, G1247 let him do it as of the ability G2479 which G3739 God G2316 gives: G5524 that God G2316 in all G3956 things may be glorified G1392 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to whom G3739 be praise G1391 and dominion G2904 for ever G165 and ever. G165 Amen. G281

But let none G3361 of you suffer G3958 as a murderer, G5406 or G2228 as a thief, G2812 or G2228 as an evildoer, G2555 or G2228 as a busybody G244 in other G244 men's matters.

I have G2192 showed G5263 you all G3956 things, how that so G3779 laboring G2872 you ought G1163 to support G482 the weak, G770 and to remember G3421 the words G3056 of the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 how G3754 he said, G2036 It is more G3122 blessed G3107 to give G1325 than to receive. G2983

Not slothful G3636 in business; G4710 fervent G2204 in spirit; G4151 serving G1398 the Lord; G2962

And labor, G2872 working G2038 with our own G2398 hands: G5495 being reviled, G3058 we bless; G2127 being persecuted, G1377 we suffer G430 it:

Let him that stole G2813 steal G2813 no G3371 more: G2001 but rather G3123 let him labor, G2872 working G2038 with his hands G5495 the thing which is good, G18 that he may have G2192 to give G3330 to him that needs. G5532

For yourselves G846 know G1492 how G4459 you ought G1163 to follow G3401 us: for we behaved G812 not ourselves disorderly G812 among G1722 you;

Not because G3754 we have G2192 not power, G1849 but to make G1325 ourselves G1438 an ensample G5179 to you to follow G3401 us.

For we hear G191 that there are some G5100 which walk G4043 among G1722 you disorderly, G814 working G2038 not at G3367 all, G3367 but are busybodies. G4020

And let our's G2251 also G2532 learn G3129 to maintain G4291 good G2570 works G2041 for necessary G316 uses, G5532 that they be not unfruitful. G175
