(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 )

Behold, G2400 I have told G4280 you before. G4280

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

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

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

Remember G3421 them which have G3918 the rule G2233 over you, who G3748 have G3918 spoken G2980 to you the word G3056 of God: G2316 whose G3739 faith G4102 follow, G3401 considering G333 the end G1545 of their conversation. G391

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.

Honor G5091 widows G5503 that are widows G5503 indeed. G3689

Who G3739 also G2532 honored G5092 us with many G4183 honors; G5091 and when we departed, G321 they laded G2007 us with such things as were necessary. G4314

It has pleased G2106 them truly; G1063 and their debtors G3781 they are. For if G1487 the Gentiles G1484 have been made G2841 partakers G2841 of their spiritual G4152 things, their duty G3784 is also G2532 to minister G3008 to them in carnal G4559 things.

Have G2192 we not power G1849 to lead G4013 about G4013 a sister, G79 a wife, G1135 as well G2532 as other G3062 apostles, G652 and as the brothers G80 of the Lord, G2962 and Cephas? G2786

Who G5100 goes a warfare G4754 any G4218 time G4218 at G4218 his own G2398 charges? G3800 who G5100 plants G5452 a vineyard, G290 and eats G2068 not of the fruit G2590 thereof? G846 or G2228 who G5100 feeds G4165 a flock, G4167 and eats G2068 not of the milk G1051 of the flock? G4167

For it is written G1125 in the law G3551 of Moses, G3475 You shall not muzzle G5392 the mouth of the ox G1016 that treads G248 out the corn. Does God G2316 take care G3199 for oxen? G1016

If G1487 we have G2192 sown G4687 to you spiritual G4152 things, is it a great G3173 thing if G1487 we shall reap G2325 your G5216 carnal G4559 things?

Do you not know G1492 that they which minister G2038 about holy G2413 things live G2068 of the things of the temple? G2411 and they which wait G4332 at the altar G2379 are partakers G4829 with the altar? G2379

Let him that is taught G2727 in the word G4487 communicate G2841 to him that teaches G2727 in all G3956 good G18 things.

Receive G4327 him therefore G3767 in the Lord G2962 with all G3956 gladness; G5479 and hold G2192 such G5108 in reputation: G1784

And it came H1961 to pass, when they were gone H5674 over, H5674 that Elijah H452 said H559 to Elisha, H477 Ask H7592 what H4100 I shall do H6213 for you, before H2962 I be taken H3947 away from you. And Elisha H477 said, H559 I pray H4994 you, let a double H8147 portion H6310 of your spirit H7307 be on me.

Speak H1696 you comfortably H5921 H3820 to Jerusalem, H3389 and cry H7121 to her, that her warfare H6635 is accomplished, H4390 that her iniquity H5771 is pardoned: H7521 for she has received H3947 of the LORD's H3068 hand H3027 double H3718 for all H3605 her sins. H2403

And first H7223 I will recompense H7999 their iniquity H5771 and their sin H2403 double; H4932 because H5921 they have defiled H2490 my land, H776 they have filled H4390 my inheritance H5159 with the carcasses H5038 of their detestable H8251 and abominable H8441 things.

Let them be confounded H954 that persecute H7291 me, but let not me be confounded: H954 let them be dismayed, H2865 but let not me be dismayed: H2865 bring H935 on them the day H3117 of evil, H7451 and destroy H7665 them with double H4932 destruction. H7670

Turn H7725 you to the strong H1225 hold, H1225 you prisoners H615 of hope: H8615 even H1571 to day H3117 do I declare H5046 that I will render H7725 double H4932 to you;

For therefore G1519 G5124 we both G2532 labor G2872 and suffer reproach, G3679 because G3754 we trust G1679 in the living G2198 God, G2316 who G3739 is the Savior G4990 of all G3956 men, G444 specially G3122 of those that believe. G4103

Then G5119 said G3004 he to his disciples, G3101 The harvest G2326 truly G3303 is plenteous, G4183 but the laborers G2040 are few; G3641

Pray G1189 you therefore G3767 the Lord G2962 of the harvest, G2326 that he will send G1544 forth G1544 laborers G2040 into G1519 his harvest. G2326

After G3326 these G5023 things the LORD G2962 appointed G322 other G2087 seventy G1440 also, G2532 and sent G649 them two G1417 and two before G4253 his face G4383 into G1519 every G3956 city G4172 and place, G5117 where G3757 he himself G846 would G3195 come. G2064

Therefore G3767 said G3004 he to them, The harvest G2326 truly G3303 is great, G4183 but the laborers G2040 are few: G3641 pray G1189 you therefore the Lord G2962 of the harvest, G2326 that he would send G1544 forth G1544 laborers G2040 into G1519 his harvest. G2326

And in the same G846 house G3614 remain, G3306 eating G2068 and drinking G4095 such things as they give: G3844 for the laborer G2040 is worthy G514 of his hire. G3408 Go G3327 not from house G3614 to house. G3614

I sent G649 you to reap G2325 that where on G3739 you bestowed G2872 no G3756 labor: G2872 other G243 men labored, G2872 and you are entered G1525 into G1519 their labors. G2873

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

Salute G782 Tryphena G5170 and Tryphosa, G5173 who G3588 labor G2872 in the Lord. G2962 Salute G782 the beloved G27 Persis, G4069 which G3748 labored G2872 much G4183 in the Lord. G2962

For we are laborers G4904 together G4904 with God: G2316 you are God's G2316 husbandry, G1091 you are God's G2316 building. G3619

But by the grace G5485 of God G2316 I am G1510 what G3739 I am: G1510 and his grace G5485 which was bestowed on me was not in vain; G2756 but I labored G2872 more G4055 abundantly G4054 than they all: G3956 yet G1161 not I, but the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 was with me.

That you submit G5293 yourselves to such, G5108 and to every G3956 one that helps G4903 with us, and labors. G2872

We then, G3767 as workers G4903 together G4903 with him, beseech G3870 you also G2532 that you receive G1209 not the grace G5485 of God G2316 in vain. G2756

Holding G1907 forth G1907 the word G3056 of life; G2222 that I may rejoice G2745 in the day G2250 of Christ, G5547 that I have not run G5143 in vain, G2756 neither G3761 labored G2872 in vain. G2756

And I entreat G2065 you also, G2532 true G1103 yoke fellow, G4805 help G4815 those G846 women which G3748 labored G4866 with me in the gospel, G2098 with Clement G2815 also, G2532 and with other G3062 my fellow laborers, G4904 whose G3739 names G3686 are in the book G976 of life. G2222

The farmer G1092 that labors G2872 must G1163 be first G4413 partaker G3335 of the fruits. G2590

If you put G5294 the brothers G80 in remembrance G5294 of these G5023 things, you shall be a good G2570 minister G1249 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 nourished G1789 up in the words G3056 of faith G4102 and of good G2570 doctrine, G1319 whereunto G3739 you have attained. G3877

Take heed G1907 to yourself, G4572 and to the doctrine; G1319 continue G1961 in them: for in doing G4160 this G5124 you shall both G2532 save G4982 yourself, G4572 and them that hear G191 you.

Preach G2784 the word; G3056 be instant G2186 in season, G2121 out of season; G171 reprove, G1651 rebuke, G2008 exhort G3870 with all G3956 long-suffering G3115 and doctrine. G1322
