Which G3739 also G2532 they did, G4160 and sent G649 it to the elders G4245 by the hands G5495 of Barnabas G921 and Saul. G4569

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 when they were come G3854 to Jerusalem, G2419 they were received G588 of the church, G1577 and of the apostles G652 and elders, G4245 and they declared G312 all G3745 things that God G2316 had done G4160 with them.

And the apostles G652 and elders G4245 came G4863 together G4863 for to consider G1492 of this G5127 matter. G3056

Then G5119 pleased G1380 it the apostles G652 and elders G4245 with the whole G3650 church, G1577 to send G3992 chosen G1586 men G435 of their own company to Antioch G490 with Paul G3972 and Barnabas; G921 namely, Judas G2455 surnamed G1941 Barsabas G923 and Silas, G4609 chief G2233 men G435 among G1722 the brothers: G80

And they wrote G1125 letters by them after this G3592 manner; G3592 The apostles G652 and elders G4245 and brothers G80 send greeting G5463 to the brothers G80 which G3588 are of the Gentiles G1484 in Antioch G490 and Syria G4947 and Cilicia. G2791

And from Miletus G3399 he sent G3992 to Ephesus, G2181 and called G3333 the elders G4245 of the church. G1577

Take heed G4337 therefore to yourselves, G1438 and to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 has made G5087 you overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he has purchased G4046 with his own G2398 blood. G129

And the day following G1966 Paul G3972 went G1524 in with us to James; G2385 and all G3956 the elders G4245 were present. G3854

Rebuke G1969 not an elder, G4245 but entreat G3870 him as a father; G3962 and the younger G3501 men as brothers; G80

Against G2596 an elder G4245 receive G3858 not an accusation, G2724 but before G1909 two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 witnesses. G3144

For this G5127 cause G5484 left G2641 I you in Crete, G2914 that you should set G1930 in order G1930 the things that are wanting, G3007 and ordain G2525 elders G4245 in every G2596 city, G4172 as I had appointed G1299 you:

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

The elder G4245 to the elect G1588 lady G2959 and her children, G5043 whom G3739 I love G25 in the truth; G225 and not I only, G3441 but also G2532 all G3956 they that have G2192 known G1097 the truth; G225

The elder G4245 to the well beloved G27 Gaius, G1050 whom G3739 I love G25 in the truth. G225

To whom G3739 it was revealed, G601 that not to themselves, G1438 but to us they did minister G1247 the things, G846 which G3739 are now G3568 reported G312 to you by them that have preached G2097 the gospel G2097 to you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 sent G649 down from heaven; G3772 which G3739 things the angels G32 desire G1937 to look G3879 into. G1519

And you are witnesses G3144 of these G5130 things.

But when G3752 the Comforter G3875 is come, G2064 whom G3739 I will send G3992 to you from the Father, G3962 even the Spirit G4151 of truth, G225 which G3739 proceeds G1607 from the Father, G3962 he shall testify G3140 of me:

And you also G2532 shall bear G3140 witness, G3140 because G3754 you have been G2075 with me from the beginning. G746

But you shall receive G2983 power, G1411 after that the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 is come G1904 on you: and you shall be witnesses G3144 to me both G5037 in Jerusalem, G2419 and in all G3956 Judaea, G2449 and in Samaria, G4540 and to the uttermost G2078 part of the earth. G1093

Beginning G756 from the baptism G908 of John, G2491 to that same day G2250 that he was taken G353 up from us, must G1163 one G1520 be ordained G1096 to be a witness G3144 with us of his resurrection. G386

This G5126 Jesus G2424 has God G2316 raised G450 up, whereof G3739 we all G3956 are witnesses. G3144

And killed G615 the Prince G747 of life, G2222 whom G3739 God G2316 has raised G1453 from the dead; G3498 whereof G3739 we are witnesses. G3144

The God G2316 of our fathers G3962 raised G1453 up Jesus, G2424 whom G3739 you slew G1315 and hanged G2910 on G1909 a tree. G3586

And we are his witnesses G3144 of these G5130 things; G4487 and so is also G2532 the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 whom G3739 God G2316 has given G1325 to them that obey G3980 him.

And we are witnesses G3144 of all G3956 things which G3739 he did G4160 both G5037 in the land G5561 of the Jews, G2453 and in Jerusalem; G2419 whom G3739 they slew G337 and hanged G2910 on G1909 a tree: G3586

Not to all G3956 the people, G2992 but to witnesses G3144 chosen G4401 before G4401 God, G2316 even to us, who G3748 did eat G4906 and drink G4844 with him after G3326 he rose G450 from the dead. G3498

And when the chief G750 Shepherd G750 shall appear, G5319 you shall receive G2865 a crown G4735 of glory G1391 that fades G262 not away.

Blessed G2128 be the God G2316 and Father G3962 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 which G3588 according G2596 to his abundant G4183 mercy G1656 has begotten G313 us again G313 to a lively G2198 hope G1680 by the resurrection G386 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 from the dead, G3498

Who G3588 are kept G5432 by the power G1411 of God G2316 through G1223 faith G4102 to salvation G4991 ready G2092 to be revealed G601 in the last G2078 time. G2540

You shall guide H5148 me with your counsel, H6098 and afterward H310 receive H3947 me to glory. H3519

Whom H4310 have I in heaven H8064 but you? and there is none H3808 on earth H776 that I desire H2654 beside H5973 you.

And if G1487 children, G5043 then G2532 heirs; G2818 heirs G2818 of God, G2316 and joint-heirs G4789 with Christ; G5547 if G1512 so be that we suffer G4841 with him, that we may be also G2532 glorified G4888 together. G4888

For I reckon G3049 that the sufferings G3804 of this G3588 present G3568 time G2540 are not worthy G514 to be compared with the glory G1391 which shall be revealed G601 in us.

For we know G1492 that if G1437 our earthly G1919 house G3614 of this G3588 tabernacle G4636 were dissolved, G2647 we have G2192 a building G3619 of God, G2316 an house G3614 not made G886 with hands, G886 eternal G166 in the heavens. G3772

We are confident, G2292 I say, and willing G2106 rather G3123 to be absent G1553 from the body, G4983 and to be present G1736 with the Lord. G2962

For I know G1492 that this G5124 shall turn G576 to my salvation G4991 through G1223 your G5216 prayer, G1162 and the supply G2024 of the Spirit G4151 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547

For to me to live G2198 is Christ, G5547 and to die G599 is gain. G2771

For I am in a strait G4912 between G1537 two, G1417 having G2192 a desire G1939 to depart, G360 and to be with Christ; G5547 which is far G4183 G3123 better: G2909

For you are dead, G599 and your G5216 life G2222 is hid G2928 with Christ G5547 in God. G2316

When G3752 Christ, G5547 who is our life, G2222 shall appear, G5319 then G5119 shall you also G2532 appear G5319 with him in glory. G1391

From now on G3063 there is laid G606 up for me a crown G4735 of righteousness, G1343 which G3739 the Lord, G2962 the righteous G1342 judge, G2923 shall give G591 me at G1722 that day: G2250 and not to me only, G3440 but to all G3956 them also G2532 that love G25 his appearing. G2015

Beloved, G27 now G3568 are we the sons G5043 of God, G2316 and it does not yet G3768 appear G5319 what G5101 we shall be: but we know G1492 that, when G1437 he shall appear, G5319 we shall be like G3664 him; for we shall see G3700 him as he is.

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.
