But while G1722 G3588 men G444 slept, G2518 his enemy G2190 came G2064 and sowed G4687 tares G2215 among G303 G3319 the wheat, G4621 and went G565 his way.

For as much G1894 as we have heard, G191 that certain G5100 which went G1831 out from us have troubled G5015 you with words, G3056 subverting G384 your G5216 souls, G5590 saying, G3004 You must be circumcised, G4059 and keep G5083 the law: G3551 to whom G3739 we gave G1291 no G3756 such commandment: G1291

And that because G1223 of false G5569 brothers G5569 unawares G3920 brought G3920 in, who G3748 came G3922 in privately G3922 to spy G2684 out our liberty G1657 which G3739 we have G2192 in Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 that they might bring G2615 us into bondage: G2615

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

For of this G5130 sort are they which creep G1744 G1519 into G1519 houses, G3614 and lead G162 captive G162 silly G1133 women G1133 laden G4987 with sins, G266 led G71 away with divers G4164 lusts, G1939

But there were false G5578 prophets G5578 also G2532 among G1722 the people, G2992 even G2532 as there shall be false G5572 teachers G5572 among G1722 you, who G3748 privately G3919 shall bring G3919 in damnable G684 heresies, G139 even G2532 denying G720 the Lord G1203 that bought G59 them, and bring G1863 on themselves G1438 swift G5031 destruction. G684

And many G4183 shall follow G1811 their pernicious G684 ways; G684 by reason G1223 of whom G3739 the way G3598 of truth G225 shall be evil G987 spoken G987 of.

Has G2192 not the potter G2763 power G1849 over the clay, G4081 of the same G846 lump G5445 to make G4160 one vessel G4632 to honor, G5092 and another G3739 to dishonor? G819

What if G1487 God, G2316 willing G2309 to show G1731 his wrath, G3709 and to make G1107 his power G1415 known, G1107 endured G5342 with much G4183 long-suffering G3115 the vessels G4632 of wrath G3709 fitted G2675 to destruction: G684

And a stone G3037 of stumbling, G4348 and a rock G4073 of offense, G4625 even to them which G3739 stumble G4350 at the word, G3056 being disobedient: G544 whereunto G1519 G3739 also G2532 they were appointed. G5087

And through G1722 covetousness G4124 shall they with feigned G4112 words G3056 make G1710 merchandise of you: whose G3739 judgment G2917 now of a long time G1597 lingers G691 not, and their damnation G684 slumbers G3573 not.

To execute G4160 judgment G2920 on all, G3956 and to convince G1827 all G3956 that are ungodly G763 among them of all G3956 their ungodly G763 deeds G2041 which G3739 they have ungodly G764 committed, G764 and of all G3956 their hard G4642 speeches which G3739 ungodly G765 sinners G268 have spoken G2980 against G2596 him.

When H3588 the waves H4867 of death H4194 compassed H661 me, the floods H5158 of ungodly H1100 men made H7760 me afraid; H1204

Blessed H835 is the man H376 that walks H1980 not in the counsel H6098 of the ungodly, H7563 nor H3808 stands H5975 in the way H1870 of sinners, H2400 nor H3808 sits H3427 in the seat H4186 of the scornful. H3887

And if G1487 the righteous G1342 scarcely G3433 be saved, G4982 where G4226 shall the ungodly G765 and the sinner G268 appear? G5316

And spared G5339 not the old G744 world, G2889 but saved G5442 Noah G3575 the eighth G3590 person, a preacher G2783 of righteousness, G1343 bringing G1863 in the flood G2627 on the world G2889 of the ungodly; G765

And turning G5077 the cities G4172 of Sodom G4670 and Gomorrha G1116 into ashes G5077 condemned G2632 them with an overthrow, G2692 making G4160 them an ensample G5262 to those G3588 that after G3195 should G3195 live ungodly; G764

But the heavens G3772 and the earth, G1093 which are now, G3568 by the same G846 word G3056 are kept G2343 in store, G2343 reserved G5083 to fire G4442 against G1519 the day G2250 of judgment G2920 and perdition G684 of ungodly G765 men. G444

What G5101 shall we say G2046 then? G3767 Shall we continue G1961 in sin, G266 that grace G5485 may abound? G4121

God G3361 G1096 forbid. G3361 G1096 How G4459 shall we, that are dead G599 to sin, G266 live G2198 any G2089 longer G2089 therein? G1722

For, brothers, G80 you have been called G2564 to liberty; G1657 only G3440 use not liberty G1657 for an occasion G874 to the flesh, G4561 but by love G26 serve G1398 one G240 another. G240

For the grace G5485 of God G2316 that brings salvation G4992 has appeared G2014 to all G3956 men, G444

Teaching G3811 us that, denying G720 ungodliness G763 and worldly G2886 lusts, G1939 we should live G2198 soberly, G4996 righteously, G1346 and godly, G2153 in this G3588 present G3568 world; G165

Looking G1983 diligently lest G3361 any G5100 man fail G5302 of the grace G5485 of God; G2316 lest G3361 any G5100 root G4491 of bitterness G4088 springing G5453 up trouble G1776 you, and thereby G1223 G5026 many G4183 be defiled; G3392

Lest there be any G5100 fornicator, G4205 or G2228 profane G952 person, as Esau, G2269 who G3739 for one G3391 morsel G1035 of meat G1035 sold G591 his birthright. G4415

As free, G1658 and not using G2192 your G3588 liberty G1657 for a cloak G1942 of maliciousness, G2549 but as the servants G1401 of God. G2316

But chiefly G3122 them that walk G4198 after G3694 the flesh G4561 in the lust G1939 of uncleanness, G3394 and despise G2706 government. G2963 Presumptuous G5113 are they, self-willed, G829 they are not afraid G5141 to speak G987 evil G987 of dignities. G1391

For when they speak G5350 great G5246 swelling G5246 words of vanity, G3153 they allure G1185 through G1722 the lusts G1939 of the flesh, G4561 through much wantonness, G766 those G3588 that were clean G3689 escaped G668 from them who live G390 in error. G4106

For if G1487 after they have escaped G668 the pollutions G3393 of the world G2889 through G1722 the knowledge G1922 of the Lord G2962 and Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 they are again G3825 entangled G1707 therein, G5125 and overcome, G2274 the latter G2078 end G2078 is worse G5501 with them than the beginning. G4413

But it is happened G4819 to them according to the true G227 proverb, G3942 The dog G2965 is turned G1994 to his own G2398 vomit G1829 again; G1994 and the sow G5300 that was washed G3068 to her wallowing G2946 in the mire. G1004

To the pure G2513 all G3956 things are pure: G2513 but to them that are defiled G3392 and unbelieving G571 is nothing G3762 pure; G2513 but even G2532 their mind G3563 and conscience G4893 is defiled. G3392

They profess G3670 that they know G1492 God; G2316 but in works G2041 they deny G720 him, being G5607 abominable, G947 and disobedient, G545 and to every G3956 good G18 work G2041 reprobate. G96

But there were false G5578 prophets G5578 also G2532 among G1722 the people, G2992 even G2532 as there shall be false G5572 teachers G5572 among G1722 you, who G3748 privately G3919 shall bring G3919 in damnable G684 heresies, G139 even G2532 denying G720 the Lord G1203 that bought G59 them, and bring G1863 on themselves G1438 swift G5031 destruction. G684

Who G5101 is a liar G5583 but he that denies G720 that Jesus G2424 is the Christ? G5547 He is antichrist, G500 that denies G720 the Father G3962 and the Son. G5207

He only H389 is my rock H6697 and my salvation; H3444 he is my defense; H4869 I shall not be greatly H7227 moved. H4131

And this G3778 is life G2222 eternal, G166 that they might know G1097 you the only G3441 true G228 God, G2316 and Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 whom G3739 you have sent. G649

Which G3739 in his times G5550 he shall show, G1166 who G3588 is the blessed G3107 and only G3441 Potentate, G1413 the King G935 of kings, G936 and Lord G2962 of lords; G2961

Who G3588 only G3441 has G2192 immortality, G110 dwelling G3611 in the light G5457 which G3739 no G3762 man can approach G676 to; whom G3739 no G3762 man G444 has seen, G1492 nor G3761 can G1410 see: G1492 to whom G3739 be honor G5092 and power G2904 everlasting. G166 Amen. G281

Who G5101 shall not fear G5399 you, O Lord, G2962 and glorify G1392 your name? G3686 for you only G3441 are holy: G3741 for all G3956 nations G1484 shall come G2240 and worship G4352 before G1799 you; for your judgments G1345 are made G5319 manifest. G5319
