Obey G3982 them that have the rule G2233 over you, and submit G5226 yourselves: G5216 for they watch G69 for your G5216 souls, G5590 as they that must give G591 account, G3056 that they may do G4160 it with joy, G5479 and not with grief: G4727 for that is unprofitable G255 for you.

Salute G782 all G3956 them that have the rule G2233 over you, and all G3956 the saints. G40 They of Italy G2482 salute G782 you.

Who G5101 then G686 is a faithful G4103 and wise G5429 servant, G1401 whom G3739 his lord G2962 has made G2525 ruler G2525 over G1909 his household, G2322 to give G1325 them meat G5160 in due season? G2540

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

And when they had ordained G5500 them elders G4245 in every G2596 church, G1577 and had prayed G4336 with fasting, G3521 they commended G3908 them to the Lord, G2962 on G1519 whom G3739 they believed. G4100

And we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 to know G1492 them which G3588 labor G2872 among G1722 you, and are over G4291 you in the Lord, G2962 and admonish G3560 you;

And to esteem G2233 them very G5228 highly G1537 G4053 in love G26 for their work's G2041 sake. And be at G1722 peace G1518 among G1722 yourselves. G1438

(For if G1487 a man G5100 know G1492 not how to rule G4291 his own G2398 house, G3624 how G4459 shall he take care G1959 of the church G1577 of God? G2316 )

Now G1161 the parable G3850 is this: G3778 The seed G4703 is the word G3056 of God. G2316

And when they had prayed, G1189 the place G5117 was shaken G4531 where G1722 G3739 they were assembled G4863 together; G4863 and they were all G537 filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and they spoke G2980 the word G3056 of God G2316 with boldness. G3954

Then G1161 Paul G3972 and Barnabas G921 waxed G3955 bold, G3955 and said, G2036 It was necessary G316 that the word G3056 of God G2316 should first G4412 have been spoken G2980 to you: but seeing G1894 you put G683 it from you, and judge G2919 yourselves G1438 unworthy G3756 G514 of everlasting G166 life, G2222 see, G2400 we turn G4762 to the Gentiles. G1484

So G686 then G686 faith G4102 comes by hearing, G189 and hearing G189 by the word G4487 of God. G2316

For this G5124 cause G1223 also G2532 thank G2168 we God G2316 without G89 ceasing, G89 because, G3754 when you received G3880 the word G3056 of God G2316 which you heard G189 of us, you received G1209 it not as the word G3056 of men, G444 but as it is in truth, G230 the word G3056 of God, G2316 which G3739 effectually G1754 works G1754 also G2532 in you that believe. G4100

I John, G2491 who G3588 also G2532 am your G5216 brother, G80 and companion G4791 in tribulation, G2347 and in the kingdom G932 and patience G5281 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 was in the isle G3520 that is called G2564 Patmos, G3963 for the word G3056 of God, G2316 and for the testimony G3141 of Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

And when G3753 he had opened G455 the fifth G3991 seal, G4973 I saw G1492 under G5270 the altar G2379 the souls G5590 of them that were slain G4969 for the word G3056 of God, G2316 and for the testimony G3141 which G3739 they held: G2192

And I saw G1492 thrones, G2362 and they sat G2523 on them, and judgment G2917 was given G1325 to them: and I saw the souls G5590 of them that were beheaded G3990 for the witness G3141 of Jesus, G2424 and for the word G3056 of God, G2316 and which G3748 had not worshipped G4352 the beast, G2342 neither G3777 his image, G1504 neither G2532 G3756 had received G2983 his mark G5480 on their foreheads, G3359 or G2532 in their hands; G5495 and they lived G2198 and reigned G936 with Christ G5547 a thousand G5507 years. G2094

That you be not slothful, G3576 but followers G3402 of them who through G1223 faith G4102 and patience G3115 inherit G2816 the promises. G1860

If H518 you know H3045 not, O you fairest H3303 among women, H802 go H3318 your way forth H3318 by the footsteps H6119 of the flock, H6629 and feed H7462 your kids H1423 beside H5921 the shepherds' H7462 tents. H4908

Why G3767 I beseech G3870 you, be you followers G3402 of me.

Be you followers G3402 of me, even G2531 as I also G2504 am of Christ. G5547

Brothers, G80 be followers G4831 together G4831 of me, and mark G4648 them which walk G4043 so G3779 as you have G2192 us for an ensample. G5179

And you became G1096 followers G3402 of us, and of the Lord, G2962 having received G1209 the word G3056 in much G4183 affliction, G2347 with joy G5479 of the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

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.

But he, being G5225 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 looked G816 up steadfastly G816 into G1519 heaven, G3772 and saw G1492 the glory G1391 of God, G2316 and Jesus G2424 standing G2476 on G1537 the right G1188 hand of God, G2316

Then G1161 they cried G2896 out with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 and stopped G4912 their ears, G3775 and ran G3729 on him with one G3661 accord, G3661

And they stoned G3036 Stephen, G4736 calling G1941 on God, and saying, G3004 Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 receive G1209 my spirit. G4151

There has no G3756 temptation G3986 taken G2983 you but such as is common G442 to man: G442 but God G2316 is faithful, G4103 who G3739 will not suffer G1439 you to be tempted G3985 above G5228 that you are able; G1410 but will with the temptation G3986 also G2532 make G4160 a way G1545 to escape, G1545 that you may be able G1410 to bear G5297 it.
