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

And he ordained G4160 twelve, G1427 that they should be with him, and that he might send G649 them forth G649 to preach, G2784

Lay G2007 hands G5495 suddenly G5030 on G2007 no G3367 man, G3367 neither G3366 be partaker G2841 of other G245 men's sins: G266 keep G5083 yourself G4572 pure. G53

And the things that you have heard G191 of me among G1223 many G4183 witnesses, G3144 the same G5023 commit G3908 you to faithful G4103 men, G444 who G3748 shall be able G2425 to teach G1321 others G2087 also. G2532

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:

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 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

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

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

Let the elders G4245 that rule G4291 well G2573 be counted G515 worthy G515 of double G1362 honor, G5092 especially G3122 they who labor G2872 in the word G3056 and doctrine. G1319

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

Is any G5100 sick G770 among G1722 you? let him call G4341 for the elders G4245 of the church; G1577 and let them pray G4336 over G1909 him, anointing G218 him with oil G1637 in the name G3686 of the Lord: G2962

The elders G4245 which are among G1722 you I exhort, G3870 who G3588 am also G2532 an elder, G4850 and a witness G3144 of the sufferings G3804 of Christ, G5547 and also G2532 a partaker G2844 of the glory G1391 that shall be revealed: G601

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

Now G1161 there were in the church G1577 that was at G1722 Antioch G490 certain G5100 prophets G4396 and teachers; G1320 as Barnabas, G921 and Simeon G4826 that was called G2564 Niger, G3526 and Lucius G3066 of Cyrene, G2957 and Manaen, G3127 which had been brought G4939 up with Herod G2264 the tetrarch, G5076 and Saul. G4569

And when they had fasted G3522 and prayed, G4336 and laid G2007 their hands G5495 on G2007 them, they sent G630 them away. G630

And there G1564 sailed G636 to Antioch, G490 from where G3606 they had been recommended G3860 to the grace G5485 of God G2316 for the work G2041 which G3739 they fulfilled. G4137

And now, G3568 brothers, G80 I commend G3908 you to God, G2316 and to the word G3056 of his grace, G5485 which G3588 is able G1410 to build G2026 you up, and to give G1325 you an inheritance G2817 among G1722 all G3956 them which are sanctified. G37

And when Jesus G2424 had cried G5455 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 he said, G2036 Father, G3962 into G1519 your hands G5495 I commend G3908 my spirit: G4151 and having said G2036 thus, G3778 he gave up the ghost. G1606

And the Lord G2962 make G4121 you to increase G4121 and abound G4052 in love G25 one G240 toward G1519 another, G240 and toward G1519 all G3956 men, even G2532 as we do toward G1519 you:

To the end G1519 he may establish G4741 your G5216 hearts G2588 blameless G299 in holiness G42 before G1715 God, G2316 even G2532 our Father, G3962 at G1722 the coming G3952 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 with all G3956 his saints. G40

Now G1161 our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 himself, G846 and God, G2316 even G2532 our Father, G3962 which G3588 has loved G25 us, and has given G1325 us everlasting G166 consolation G3874 and good G18 hope G1680 through G1722 grace, G5485

Comfort G3870 your G5216 hearts, G2588 and establish G4741 you in every G3956 good G18 word G3056 and work. G2041

For the which G3739 cause G156 I also G2532 suffer G3958 these G5023 things: nevertheless G235 I am not ashamed: G1870 for I know G1492 whom G3739 I have believed, G4100 and am persuaded G3982 that he is able G1415 to keep G5442 that which I have committed G3866 to him against G1519 that day. G2250

But the God G2316 of all G3956 grace, G5485 who G3588 has called G2564 us to his eternal G166 glory G1391 by Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 after that you have suffered G3958 a while, G3641 make G2675 you perfect, G2675 establish, G4741 strengthen, G4599 settle G2311 you.
