WEB·Galatians 1

¹Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

KJVPaul^G3972, an apostle^G652,(not^G3756 of^G575 men^G444, neither^G3761 by^G1223 man^G444, but^G235 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 God^G2316 the Father^G3962, who^G3588 raised^G1453^(G5660) him^G846 from^G1537 the dead^G3498;)

² and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

KJVAnd^G2532 all^G3956 the brethren^G80 which are with^G4862 me^G1698, unto the churches^G1577 of Galatia^G1053:

³ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVGrace^G5485 be to you^G5213 and^G2532 peace^G1515 from^G575 God^G2316 the Father^G3962, and^G2532 from our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547,

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

KJVWho^G3588 gave^G1325^(G5631) himself^G1438 for^G5228 our^G2257 sins^G266, that^G3704 he might deliver^G1807^(G5643) us^G2248 from^G1537 this present^G1764^(G5761) evil^G4190 world^G165, according^G2596 to the will^G2307 of God^G2316 and^G2532 our^G2257 Father^G3962:

⁵ to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

KJVTo whom^G3739 be glory^G1391 for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165. Amen^G281.

⁶ I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

KJVI marvel^G2296^(G5719) that^G3754 ye are^G3346 so^G3779 soon^G5030 removed^G3346^(G5727) from^G575 him that called^G2564^(G5660) you^G5209 into^G1722 the grace^G5485 of Christ^G5547 unto^G1519 another^G2087 gospel^G2098:

⁷ but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

KJVWhich^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 another^G243; but there be^G1526^(G5748) some^G5100 that^G1508 trouble^G5015^(G5723) you^G5209, and^G2532 would^G2309^(G5723) pervert^G3344^(G5658) the gospel^G2098 of Christ^G5547.

⁸ But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

KJVBut^G235 though^G2532^G1437 we^G2249, or^G2228 an angel^G32 from^G1537 heaven^G3772, preach any other gospel^G2097^(G5735) unto you^G5213 than^G3844 that which^G3739 we have preached^G2097^(G5668) unto you^G5213, let him be^G2077^(G5749) accursed^G331.

⁹ As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

KJVAs^G5613 we said before^G4280^(G5758), so^G2532 say I^G3004^(G5719) now^G737 again^G3825, If any^G1536 man preach^G2097 any other^G3844 gospel^G2097^(G5731) unto you^G5209 than^G3844 that^G3739 ye have received^G3880^(G5627), let him be^G2077^(G5749) accursed^G331.

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 do I^G3982 now^G737 persuade^G3982^(G5719) men^G444, or^G2228 God^G2316? or^G2228 do I seek^G2212^(G5719) to please^G700^(G5721) men^G444? for^G1063 if^G1487 I^G700 yet^G2089 pleased^G700^(G5707) men^G444, I should^G302 not^G3756 be^G2252^(G5713) the servant^G1401 of Christ^G5547.

¹¹ But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

KJVBut^G1161 I certify^G1107^(G5719) you^G5213, brethren^G80, that^G3754 the gospel^G2098 which^G3588 was preached^G2097^(G5685) of^G5259 me^G1700 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 after^G2596 man^G444.

¹² For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 I^G1473 neither^G3761 received^G3880^(G5627) it^G846 of^G3844 man^G444, neither^G3777 was I taught^G1321^(G5681) it, but^G235 by^G1223 the revelation^G602 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹³ For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.

KJVFor^G1063 ye have heard^G191^(G5656) of my^G1699 conversation^G391 in time past^G4218 in^G1722 the Jews' religion^G2454, how that^G3754 beyond^G2596 measure^G5236 I persecuted^G1377^(G5707) the church^G1577 of God^G2316, and^G2532 wasted^G4199^(G5707) it^G846:

¹⁴ I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

KJVAnd^G2532 profited^G4298^(G5707) in^G1722 the Jews' religion^G2454 above^G5228 many^G4183 my equals^G4915 in^G1722 mine own^G3450 nation^G1085, being^G5225^(G5723) more exceedingly^G4056 zealous^G2207 of the traditions^G3862 of my^G3450 fathers^G3967.

¹⁵ But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,

KJVBut^G1161 when^G3753 it pleased^G2106^(G5656) God^G2316, who^G3588 separated^G873^(G5660) me^G3165 from^G1537 my^G3450 mother's^G3384 womb^G2836, and^G2532 called^G2564^(G5660) me by^G1223 his^G846 grace^G5485,

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

KJVTo reveal^G601^(G5658) his^G846 Son^G5207 in^G1722 me^G1698, that^G2443 I might preach^G2097^(G5735) him^G846 among^G1722 the heathen^G1484; immediately^G2112 I conferred^G4323^(G5639) not^G3756 with flesh^G4561 and^G2532 blood^G129:

¹⁷ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.

KJVNeither^G3761 went I up^G424^(G5627) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 to^G4314 them which were apostles^G652 before^G4253 me^G1700; but^G235 I went^G565^(G5627) into^G1519 Arabia^G688, and^G2532 returned^G5290^(G5656) again^G3825 unto^G1519 Damascus^G1154.

¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

KJVThen^G1899 after^G3326 three^G5140 years^G2094 I went up^G424^(G5627) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 to see^G2477^(G5658) Peter^G4074, and^G2532 abode^G1961^(G5656) with^G4314 him^G846 fifteen^G1178 days^G2250.

¹⁹ But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.

KJVBut^G1161 other^G2087 of the apostles^G652 saw I^G1492^(G5627) none^G3756, save^G1508 James^G2385 the Lord's^G2962 brother^G80.

²⁰ Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.

KJVNow^G1161 the things which^G3739 I write^G1125^(G5719) unto you^G5213, behold^G2400^(G5628), before^G1799 God^G2316,^G3754 I lie^G5574^(G5736) not^G3756.

²¹ Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

KJVAfterwards^G1899 I came^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 the regions^G2824 of Syria^G4947 and^G2532 Cilicia^G2791;

²² I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

KJVAnd^G1161 was^G2252^(G5713) unknown^G50^(G5746) by face^G4383 unto the churches^G1577 of Judaea^G2449 which^G3588 were in^G1722 Christ^G5547:

²³ but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”

KJVBut^G1161 they had^G2258^(G5713) heard^G191^(G5723) only^G3440, That^G3754 he which persecuted^G1377^(G5723) us^G2248 in times past^G4218 now^G3568 preacheth^G2097^(G5731) the faith^G4102 which^G3739 once^G4218 he destroyed^G4199^(G5707).

²⁴ So they glorified God in me.

KJVAnd^G2532 they glorified^G1392^(G5707) God^G2316 in^G1722 me^G1698.

WEB·2 Corinthians 13

¹This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

KJVThis^G5124 is the third^G5154 time I am coming^G2064^(G5736) to^G4314 you^G5209. In^G1909 the mouth^G4750 of two^G1417 or^G2532 three^G5140 witnesses^G3144 shall^G2476 every^G3956 word^G4487 be established^G2476^(G5701).

² I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

KJVI told you before^G4280^(G5758), and^G2532 foretell you^G4302^(G5719), as if^G5613 I were present^G3918^(G5752), the second^G1208 time; and^G2532 being absent^G548^(G5752) now^G3568 I write^G1125^(G5719) to them which heretofore have sinned^G4258^(G5761), and^G2532 to all^G3956 other^G3062, that^G3754, if^G1437 I come^G2064^(G5632) again^G1519^G3825, I will^G5339 not^G3756 spare^G5339^(G5695):

³ seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

KJVSince^G1893 ye seek^G2212^(G5719) a proof^G1382 of Christ^G5547 speaking^G2980^(G5723) in^G1722 me^G1698, which^G3739 to^G1519 you-ward^G5209 is^G770 not^G3756 weak^G770^(G5719), but^G235 is mighty^G1414^(G5719) in^G1722 you^G5213.

⁴ For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

KJVFor^G1063^G2532 though^G1487 he was crucified^G4717^(G5681) through^G1537 weakness^G769, yet^G235 he liveth^G2198^(G5719) by^G1537 the power^G1411 of God^G2316. For^G1063 we^G2249 also^G2532 are weak^G770^(G5719) in^G1722 him^G846, but^G235 we shall live^G2198^(G5695) with^G4862 him^G846 by^G1537 the power^G1411 of God^G2316 toward^G1519 you^G5209.

⁵ Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

KJVExamine^G3985^(G5720) yourselves^G1438, whether^G1487 ye be^G2075^(G5748) in^G1722 the faith^G4102; prove^G1381^(G5720) your own selves^G1438.^G2228 Know ye^G1921^(G5719) not^G3756 your own selves^G1438, how that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 you^G5213, except^G1509 ye be^G2075^(G5748) reprobates^G5100^G96?

⁶ But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

KJVBut^G1161 I trust^G1679^(G5719) that^G3754 ye shall know^G1097^(G5695) that^G3754 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) not^G3756 reprobates^G96.

⁷ Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

KJVNow^G1161 I pray^G2172^(G5736) to^G4314 God^G2316 that ye^G5209 do^G3361^G4160^(G5658) no^G3367 evil^G2556; not^G3756 that^G2443 we^G2249 should appear^G5316^(G5652) approved^G1384, but^G235 that^G2443 ye^G5210 should do^G4160^(G5725) that which is honest^G2570, though^G1161 we^G2249 be^G5600^(G5753) as^G5613 reprobates^G96.

⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

KJVFor^G1063 we can do^G1410^(G5736) nothing^G3756^G5100 against^G2596 the truth^G225, but^G235 for^G5228 the truth^G225.

⁹ For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

KJVFor^G1063 we^G2249 are glad^G5463^(G5719), when^G3752 we are weak^G770^(G5725), and^G1161 ye^G5210 are^G5600^(G5753) strong^G1415: and^G1161 this^G5124 also^G2532 we wish^G2172^(G5736), even your^G5216 perfection^G2676.

¹⁰ For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

KJVTherefore^G5124^G1223 I write^G1125^(G5719) these things^G5023 being absent^G548^(G5752), lest^G3363 being present^G3918^(G5752) I should use^G5530^(G5667) sharpness^G664, according^G2596 to the power^G1849 which^G3739 the Lord^G2962 hath given^G1325^(G5656) me^G3427 to^G1519 edification^G3619, and^G2532 not^G3756 to^G1519 destruction^G2506.

¹¹ Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

KJVFinally^G3063, brethren^G80, farewell^G5463^(G5720). Be perfect^G2675^(G5744), be of good comfort^G3870^(G5744), be of one^G846 mind^G5426^(G5720), live in peace^G1514^(G5720); and^G2532 the God^G2316 of love^G26 and^G2532 peace^G1515 shall be^G2071^(G5704) with^G3326 you^G5216.

¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss.

KJVGreet^G782^(G5663) one another^G240 with^G1722 an holy^G40 kiss^G5370.

¹³ All the saints greet you.

KJVAll^G3956 the saints^G40 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

KJVThe grace^G5485 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 the love^G26 of God^G2316, and^G2532 the communion^G2842 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956. Amen^G281. The second^G1208 epistle to^G4314 the Corinthians^G2881 was written^G1125^(G5648) from^G575 Philippi^G5375, a city of Macedonia^G3109, by^G1223 Titus^G5103 and^G2532 Lucas^G3065.
