Holding G472 fast G472 the faithful G4103 word G3056 as he has been taught, G1322 that he may be able G1415 by sound G5198 doctrine G1319 both G2532 to exhort G3870 and to convince G1651 the disputers. G483

A man G444 that is an heretic G141 after G3326 the first G3391 and second G1208 admonition G3559 reject; G3868

But the king H4428 shall rejoice H8055 in God; H430 every H3605 one that swears H7650 by him shall glory: H1984 but the mouth H6310 of them that speak H1696 lies H8267 shall be stopped. H5534

The righteous H3477 shall see H7200 it, and rejoice: H8055 and all iniquity H5766 shall stop H7092 her mouth. H6310

That you may remember, H2142 and be confounded, H954 and never H3808 open H6610 your mouth H6310 any more H5750 because H6440 of your shame, H3639 when I am pacified H3722 toward you for all H3605 that you have done, H6213 said H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069

And after G2089 that they dared G5111 not ask G1905 him any G3762 question at all.

Now G1161 we know G1492 that what G3745 things soever G1437 the law G3551 said, G3004 it said G2980 to them who are under G1722 the law: G3551 that every G3956 mouth G4750 may be stopped, G5420 and all G3956 the world G2889 may become G1096 guilty G5267 before God. G2316

As the truth G225 of Christ G5547 is in me, no G3756 G3762 man shall stop G5420 me of this G3778 boasting G2746 in the regions G2824 of Achaia. G882

Woe G3759 to you, scribes G1122 and Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for you devour G2719 widows' G5503 houses, G3614 and for a pretense G4392 make G4336 long G3117 prayer: G4336 therefore G1223 G5124 you shall receive G2983 the greater G4055 damnation. G2917

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

For a bishop G1985 must G1163 be blameless, G410 as the steward G3622 of God; G2316 not self-willed, G829 not soon G3711 angry, G3711 not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not given to filthy G150 lucre; G146

His watchmen H6822 are blind: H5787 they are all H3605 ignorant, H3808 H3045 they are all H3605 dumb H483 dogs, H3611 they cannot H3808 H3201 bark; H5024 sleeping, H1957 lying H7901 down, H7901 loving H157 to slumber. H5123

Yes, they are greedy H5794 H5315 dogs H3611 which can H3045 never H3808 have H3045 enough, H7654 and they are shepherds H7462 that cannot H3808 H3045 understand: H995 they all H3605 look H6437 to their own way, H1870 every H376 one H376 for his gain, H1214 from his quarter. H7098

Therefore H3651 will I give H5414 their wives H802 to others, H312 and their fields H7704 to them that shall inherit H3423 them: for every H3605 one from the least H6996 even to the greatest H1419 is given to covetousness, H1215 from the prophet H5030 even to the priest H3548 every H3605 one deals H6213 falsely. H8267

And will you pollute H2490 me among H413 my people H5971 for handfuls H8168 of barley H8184 and for pieces H6595 of bread, H3899 to slay H4191 the souls H5315 that should not die, H4191 and to save H2421 the souls H5315 alive H2421 that should not live, H2421 by your lying H3576 to my people H5971 that hear H8085 your lies? H3576

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 the prophets H5030 that make my people H5971 err, H8582 that bite H5391 with their teeth, H8127 and cry, H7121 Peace; H7965 and he that puts H5414 not into H5921 their mouths, H6310 they even prepare H6942 war H4421 against H5921 him.

The heads H7218 thereof judge H8199 for reward, H7810 and the priests H3548 thereof teach H3384 for hire, H4242 and the prophets H5030 thereof divine H7080 for money: H3701 yet will they lean H8172 on the LORD, H3068 and say, H559 Is not the LORD H3068 among H7130 us? none H3808 evil H7451 can come H935 on us.

But he that is an hireling, G3411 and not the shepherd, G4166 whose G3739 own G2398 the sheep G4263 are not, sees G2334 the wolf G3074 coming, G2064 and leaves G863 the sheep, G4263 and flees: G5343 and the wolf G3074 catches G726 them, and scatters G4650 the sheep. G4263

Perverse G3859 disputings G3859 of men G444 of corrupt G1311 minds, G3563 and destitute G650 of the truth, G225 supposing G3543 that gain G4200 is godliness: G2150 from such G5108 withdraw G868 yourself.

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 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.
