Who--Greek, "persons who," &c.
destruction from the presence of the Lord--driven far from His presence [ALFORD]. The sentence emanating from Him in person, sitting as Judge [BENGEL], and driving them far from Him (Mat 25:41; Rev 6:16; Rev 12:14; compare Pe1 3:12; Isa 2:10, Isa 2:19). "The presence of the Lord" is the source whence the sentence goes forth; "the glory of His power" is the instrument whereby the sentence is carried into execution [EDMUNDS]. But ALFORD better interprets the latter clause (see Th2 1:10), driven "from the manifestation of His power in the glorification of His saints." Cast out from the presence of the Lord is the idea at the root of eternal death, the law of evil left to its unrestricted working, without one counteracting influence of the presence of God, who is the source of all light and holiness (Isa 66:24; Mar 9:44). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction; - see the notes on Mat 25:41, Mat 25:46. The word which is here rendered "destruction" (ὄλεθρον olethron), is different from that which occurs in Mat 25:46, and which is there rendered "punishment" - κόλασις kolasis. The word ὄλεθρον olethron - "olethron" - occurs only here and in Co1 5:5; Th1 5:3; Ti1 6:9; in each of which places it is rendered destruction. It does not denote annihilation, but is used in the same sense in which we use the word when we say that a thing is destroyed. Thus, health is destroyed when it fails; property is destroyed when it is burned or sunk in the ocean; a limb is destroyed that is lost in battle; life is destroyed when one dies. In the case before us, the destruction, whatever it be, is:
(1) to be continued forever; and,
(2) is to be of the nature of punishment.
The meaning then must be, that the soul is destroyed as to the great purposes of its being - its enjoyment, dignity, honor, holiness, happiness. It will not be annihilated, but will live and linger on in destruction. It seems difficult to conceive how anyone can profess to hold that this passage is a part of the Word of God, and yet deny the doctrine of future eternal punishment. It would not be possible to state that doctrine in clearer language than this. It is never is in clearer language in any creed or confession of faith, and if it is not true that the wicked will be punished forever, then it must be admitted that it would not have been possible to reveal the doctrine in human language!
From the presence of the Lord - That is, a part of their punishment will consist in being banished from the immediate presence of the Lord. There is a sense in which God is everywhere present, and in that sense he will be in the world where the wicked will dwell, to punish them. But the phrase is also used to denote his more immediate presence; the place where are the symbols of his majesty and glory; the home of the holy and the blessed. It is in that sense that the word is used here, and the idea is, that it will be one of the circumstances contributing to the deeper woe of the place of punishment, that those who dwell there will be banished from that holy abode, and will never be permitted to enter there.
And from the glory of his power - The meaning seems to be, that they will not be able to endure the manifestation of his power and majesty when he shall appear, but will be driven away by it into outer darkness; see Th2 2:8. The Saviour, in describing his second coming, uses this language: "They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;" Mat 24:30. There will be a great exhibition of both. The power will be seen in the convulsions of nature which will precede or attend him; in the resurrection of the dead; and in the bringing of all to judgment: and the glory will be seen in his own person; the dignity and number of his attendants; and the honor that shall then be conferred on him as the final Judge of all mankind. By the manifestation of that power and glory the wicked will be driven away into eternal ruin. They will not be able to stand before it, and though, in common with the righteous, they may see the majesty of the Redeemer in the last day, yet they will be driven away to witness it no more. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Shall be punished (δίκην τίσουσιν)
The verb (N.T.o.) means to pay or render. Lit. shall pay penalty.
Everlasting destruction (ὄλεθρον αἰώνιον)
The phrase nowhere else in N.T. In lxx, 4 Macc. 10:15. Rev. properly, eternal destruction. It is to be carefully noted that eternal and everlasting are not synonymous. See additional note at the end of this chapter.
From the presence (ἀπὸ προσώπου)
Or face. Ἁπὸ from has simply the sense of separation. Not from the time of the Lord's appearing, nor by reason of the glory of his presence. Πρόσωπον is variously translated in A.V. Mostly face: also presence, Act 3:13, Act 3:19; Act 5:41 : person, Mat 22:16; Luk 20:21; Gal 2:6 : appearance, Co2 5:12; Co2 10:1 : fashion, Jam 1:11. The formula ἀπὸ προσώπου or τοῦ προσώπου occurs Act 3:19; Act 5:41; Act 7:45; Rev 6:16; Rev 12:14; Rev 20:11. In lxx, Gen 3:8; Gen 4:14, Gen 4:16; Exo 14:25, and frequently.
Glory of his power (δόξης τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ)
For glory see on Th1 2:12. Ἱσχὺς power, not often in Paul. It is indwelling power put forth or embodied, either aggressively or as an obstacle to resistance: physical power organized or working under individual direction. An army and a fortress are both ἰσχυρὸς. The power inhering in the magistrate, which is put forth in laws or judicial decisions, is ἰσχὺς, and makes the edicts ἰσχυρὰ valid and hard to resist. Δύναμις is the indwelling power which comes to manifestation in ἰσχὺς The precise phrase used here does not appear elsewhere in N.T. In lxx, Isa 2:10, Isa 2:19, Isa 2:21. The power (δύναμις) and glory of God are associated in Mat 24:30; Mar 13:26; Luk 21:27; Rev 4:11; Rev 19:1. Comp. κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ strength of his glory, Col 1:11.
Additional Note on ὄλεθρον αἰώνιον eternal destruction, Th2 1:9
Ἁιών transliterated eon, is a period of time of longer or shorter duration, having a beginning and an end, and complete in itself. Aristotle (περὶ οὐρανοῦ, i. 9, 15) says: "The period which includes the whole time of each one's life is called the eon of each one." Hence it often means the life of a man, as in Homer, where one's life (αἰών) is said to leave him or to consume away (Il. v. 685; Od. v. 160). It is not, however, limited to human life; it signifies any period in the course of events, as the period or age before Christ; the period of the millennium; the mytho-logical period before the beginnings of history. The word has not "a stationary and mechanical value" (De Quincey). It does not mean a period of a fixed length for all cases. There are as many eons as entities, the respective durations of which are fixed by the normal conditions of the several entities. There is one eon of a human life, another of the life of a nation, another of a crow's life, another of an oak's life. The length of the eon depends on the subject to which it is attached.
It is sometimes translated world; world representing a period or a series of periods of time. See Mat 12:32; Mat 13:40, Mat 13:49; Luk 1:70; Co1 1:20; Co1 2:6; Eph 1:21. Similarly οἱ αἰῶνες the worlds, the universe, the aggregate of the ages or periods, and their contents which are included in the duration of the world. Co1 2:7; Co1 10:11; Heb 1:2; Heb 9:26; Heb 11:3.
The word always carries the notion of time, and not of eternity. It always means a period of time. Otherwise it would be impossible to account for the plural, or for such qualifying expressions as this age, or the age to come. It does not mean something endless or everlasting. To deduce that meaning from its relation to ἀεί is absurd; for, apart from the fact that the meaning of a word is not definitely fixed by its derivation, ἀεί does not signify endless duration. When the writer of the Pastoral Epistles quotes the saying that the Cretans are always (ἀεί) liars (Tit 1:12), he surely does not mean that the Cretans will go on lying to all eternity. See also Act 7:51; Co2 4:11; Co2 6:10; Heb 3:10; Pe1 3:15. Ἁεί means habitually or continually within the limit of the subject's life. In our colloquial dialect everlastingly is used in the same way. "The boy is everlastingly tormenting me to buy him a drum."
In the New Testament the history of the world is conceived as developed through a succession of eons. A series of such eons precedes the introduction of a new series inaugurated by the Christian dispensation, and the end of the world and the second coming of Christ are to mark the beginning of another series. See Eph 3:11. Paul contemplates eons before and after the Christian era. Eph 1:21; Eph 2:7; Eph 3:9, Eph 3:21; Co1 10:11; comp. Heb 9:26. He includes the series of eons in one great eon, ὁ αἰὼν τῶν αἰώνων the eon of the eons (Eph 3:21); and the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews describes the throne of God as enduring unto the eon of the eons (Heb 1:8). The plural is also used, eons of the eons, signifying all the successive periods which make up the sum total of the ages collectively. Rom 16:27; Gal 1:5; Phi 4:20, etc. This plural phrase is applied by Paul to God only.
The adjective αἰώνιος in like manner carries the idea of time. Neither the noun nor the adjective, in themselves, carry the sense of endless or everlasting. They may acquire that sense by their connotation, as, on the other hand, ἀΐ̀διος, which means everlasting, has its meaning limited to a given point of time in Jde 1:6. Ἁιώνιος means enduring through or pertaining to a period of time. Both the noun and the adjective are applied to limited periods. Thus the phrase εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, habitually rendered forever, is often used of duration which is limited in the very nature of the case. See, for a few out of many instances, lxx, Exo 21:6; Exo 29:9; Exo 32:13; Jos 14:9; Sa1 8:13; Lev 25:46; Deu 15:17; Ch1 28:4. See also Mat 21:19; Joh 13:8; Co1 8:13. The same is true of αἰώνιος. Out of 150 instances in lxx, four-fifths imply limited duration. For a few instances see Gen 48:4; Num 10:8; Num 15:15; Pro 22:28; Jon 2:6; Hab 3:6; Isa 61:8.
Words which are habitually applied to things temporal or material can not carry in themselves the sense of endlessness. Even when applied to God, we are not forced to render αἰώνιος everlasting. Of course the life of God is endless; but the question is whether, in describing God as αἰώνιος, it was intended to describe the duration of his being, or whether some different and larger idea was not contemplated. That God lives longer than men, and lives on everlastingly, and has lived everlastingly, are, no doubt, great and significant facts; yet they are not the dominant or the most impressive facts in God's relations to time. God's eternity does not stand merely or chiefly for a scale of length. It is not primarily a mathematical but a moral fact. The relations of God to time include and imply far more than the bare fact of endless continuance. They carry with them the fact that God transcends time; works on different principles and on a vaster scale than the wisdom of time provides; oversteps the conditions and the motives of time; marshals the successive eons from a point outside of time, on lines which run out into his own measureless cycles, and for sublime moral ends which the creature of threescore and ten years cannot grasp and does not even suspect.
There is a word for everlasting if that idea is demanded. That αἰώνιος occurs rarely in the New Testament and in lxx does not prove that its place was taken by αἰώνιος. It rather goes to show that less importance was attached to the bare idea of everlastingness than later theological thought has given it. Paul uses the word once, in Rom 1:20, where he speaks of "the everlasting power and divinity of God." In Rom 16:26 he speaks of the eternal God (τοῦ αἰωνίου θεοῦ); but that he does not mean the everlasting God is perfectly clear from the context. He has said that "the mystery" has been kept in silence in times eternal (χρόνοις αἰωνίοις), by which he does not mean everlasting times, but the successive eons which elapsed before Christ was proclaimed. God therefore is described as the God of the eons, the God who pervaded and controlled those periods before the incarnation. To the same effect is the title ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν αἰώνων the King of the eons, applied to God in Ti1 1:17; Rev 15:3; comp. Tob. 13:6, 10. The phrase πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων before eternal times (Ti2 1:9; Tit 1:2), cannot mean before everlasting times. To say that God bestowed grace on men, or promised them eternal life before endless times, would be absurd. The meaning is of old, as Luk 1:70. The grace and the promise were given in time, but far back in the ages, before the times of reckoning the eons.
Ζωὴ αἰώνιος eternal life, which occurs 42 times in N.T., but not in lxx, is not endless life, but life pertaining to a certain age or eon, or continuing during that eon. I repeat, life may be endless. The life in union with Christ is endless, but the fact is not expressed by αἰώνιος. Κόλασις αἰώνιος, rendered everlasting punishment (Mat 25:46), is the punishment peculiar to an eon other than that in which Christ is speaking. In some cases ζωὴ αἰώνιος does not refer specifically to the life beyond time, but rather to the eon or dispensation of Messiah which succeeds the legal dispensation. See Mat 19:16; Joh 5:39. John says that ζωὴ αἰώνιος is the present possession of those who believe on the Son of God, Joh 3:36; Joh 5:24; Joh 6:47, Joh 6:64. The Father's commandment is ζωὴ αἰώσιος, Joh 12:50; to know the only true God and Jesus Christ is ζωὴ αἰώνιος, Joh 17:3.
Bishop Westcott very justly says, commenting upon the terms used by John to describe life under different aspects: "In considering these phrases it is necessary to premise that in spiritual things we must guard against all conclusions which rest upon the notions of succession and duration. 'Eternal life' is that which St. Paul speaks of as ἡ ὄντως ζωὴ the life which is life indeed, and ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ θεοῦ the life of God. It is not an endless duration of being in time, but being of which time is not a measure. We have indeed no powers to grasp the idea except through forms and images of sense. These must be used, but we must not transfer them as realities to another order."
Thus, while αἰώνιος carries the idea of time, though not of endlessness, there belongs to it also, more or less, a sense of quality. Its character is ethical rather than mathematical. The deepest significance of the life beyond time lies, not in endlessness, but in the moral quality of the eon into which the life passes. It is comparatively unimportant whether or not the rich fool, when his soul was required of him (Luk 12:20), entered upon a state that was endless. The principal, the tremendous fact, as Christ unmistakably puts it, was that, in the new eon, the motives, the aims, the conditions, the successes and awards of time counted for nothing. In time, his barns and their contents were everything; the soul was nothing. In the new life the soul was first and everything, and the barns and storehouses nothing. The bliss of the sanctified does not consist primarily in its endlessness, but in the nobler moral conditions of the new eon, - the years of the holy and eternal God. Duration is a secondary idea. When it enters it enters as an accompaniment and outgrowth of moral conditions.
In the present passage it is urged that ὄλεθρον destruction points to an unchangeable, irremediable, and endless condition. If this be true, if ὄλεθρος is extinction, then the passage teaches the annihilation of the wicked, in which case the adjective αἰώνιος is superfluous, since extinction is final, and excludes the idea of duration. But ὄλεθρος does not always mean destruction or extinction. Take the kindred verb ἀπόλλυμι to destroy, put an end to, or in the middle voice, to be lost, to perish. Peter says, "the world being deluged with water, perished" (ἀπολοῦνται Pe2 3:6); but the world did not become extinct, it was renewed. In Heb 1:11, Heb 1:12 quoted from Psalm 102, we read concerning the heavens and the earth as compared with the eternity of God, "they shall perish" (ἀπολοῦνται). But the perishing is only preparatory to change and renewal. "They shall be changed" (ἀλλαγήσονται). Comp. Isa 51:6, Isa 51:16; Isa 65:17; Isa 66:22; Pe2 3:13; Rev 21:1. Similarly, "the Son of man came to save that which was lost" (ἀπολωλός), Luk 19:10. Jesus charged his apostles to go to the lost (ἀπολωλότα) sheep of the house of Israel, Mat 10:6, comp. Mat 15:24. "He that shall lose (ἀπολέσῃ) his life for my sake shall find it," Mat 16:25. Comp. Luk 15:6, Luk 15:9, Luk 15:32.
In this passage the word destruction is qualified. It is "destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, " at his second coming, in the new eon. In other words, it is the severance, at a given point of time, of those who obey not the gospel from the presence and the glory of Christ. Ἁιώνιος may therefore describe this severance as continuing during the millennial eon between Christ's coming and the final judgment; as being for the wicked prolonged throughout that eon and characteristic of it, or it may describe the severance as characterizing or enduring through a period or eon succeeding the final judgment, the extent of which period is not defined. In neither case is αἰώνιος to be interpreted as everlasting or endless. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
From the glory of his power - Tremble, ye stout - hearted. Everlasting destruction - As there can be no end of their sins, (the same enmity against God continuing,) so neither of their punishment; sin and its punishment running parallel throughout eternity itself. They must of necessity, therefore, be cut off from all good, and all possibility of it. From the presence of the Lord - Wherein chiefly consists the salvation of the righteous. What unspeakable punishment is implied even in falling short of this, supposing that nothing more were implied in his taking vengeance! |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Who shall be punished - What this everlasting destruction consists in we cannot tell. It is not annihilation, for their being continues; and as the destruction is everlasting, it is an eternal continuance and presence of substantial evil, and absence of all good; for a part of this punishment consists in being banished from the presence of the Lord - excluded from his approbation, for ever; so that the light of his countenance can be no more enjoyed, as there will be an eternal impossibility of ever being reconciled to him.
The glory of his power - Never to see the face of God throughout eternity is a heart-rending, soul-appalling thought; and to be banished from the glory of his power, that power the glory of which is peculiarly manifested in saving the lost and glorifying the faithful, is what cannot be reflected on without confusion and dismay. But this must be the lot of all who acknowledge not God, and obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. |

9 And [2532] when she hath found [2147] it, she calleth [4779] her friends [5384] and [2532] her neighbours [1069] together [4779], saying [3004], Rejoice [4796] with me [3427]; for [3754] I have found [2147] the piece [1406] which [3739] I had lost [622].
6 And [2532] when he cometh [2064] [1519] home [3624], he calleth together [4779] his friends [5384] and [2532] neighbours [1069], saying [3004] unto them [846], Rejoice [4796] with me [3427]; for [3754] I have found [2147] my [3450] sheep [4263] which [3588] was lost [622].
25 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846].
24 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I am [649] not [3756] sent [649] but [1508] unto [1519] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
6 But [1161] go [4198] rather [3123] to [4314] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
10 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to seek [2212] and [2532] to save [4982] that which was lost [622].
1 And [2532] I saw [1492] a new [2537] heaven [3772] and [2532] a new [2537] earth [1093]: for [1063] the first [4413] heaven [3772] and [2532] the first [4413] earth [1093] were passed away [3928]; and [2532] there was [2076] no [3756] more [2089] sea [2281].
13 Nevertheless [1161] we [4328], according to [2596] his [846] promise [1862], look for [4328] new [2537] heavens [3772] and [2532] a new [2537] earth [1093], wherein [1722] [3739] dwelleth [2730] righteousness [1343].
22 For as the new [02319] heavens [08064] and the new [02319] earth [0776], which I will make [06213], shall remain [05975] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], so shall your seed [02233] and your name [08034] remain [05975].
17 For, behold, I create [01254] new [02319] heavens [08064] and a new [02319] earth [0776]: and the former [07223] shall not be remembered [02142], nor come [05927] into mind [03820].
16 And I have put [07760] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310], and I have covered [03680] thee in the shadow [06738] of mine hand [03027], that I may plant [05193] the heavens [08064], and lay the foundations [03245] of the earth [0776], and say [0559] unto Zion [06726], Thou art my people [05971].
6 Lift up [05375] your eyes [05869] to the heavens [08064], and look [05027] upon the earth [0776] beneath: for the heavens [08064] shall vanish away [04414] like smoke [06227], and the earth [0776] shall wax old [01086] like a garment [0899], and they that dwell [03427] therein shall die [04191] in like [03644] manner [03654]: but my salvation [03444] shall be for ever [05769], and my righteousness [06666] shall not be abolished [02865].
12 And [2532] as [5616] a vesture [4018] shalt thou fold [1667] them [846] up [1667], and [2532] they shall be changed [236]: but [1161] thou [4771] art [1488] the same [846], and [2532] thy [4675] years [2094] shall [1587] not [3756] fail [1587].
11 They [846] shall perish [622]; but [1161] thou [4771] remainest [1265]; and [2532] they all [3956] shall wax old [3822] as [5613] doth a garment [2440];
6 Whereby [1223] [3739] the world [2889] that then was [5119], being overflowed [2626] with water [5204], perished [622]:
20 But [1161] God [2316] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou fool [878], this [5026] night [3571] thy [4675] soul [5590] shall be required [523] of [575] thee [4675]: then [1161] whose [5101] shall those things be [2071], which [3739] thou hast provided [2090]?
3 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] life [2222] eternal [166], that [2443] they might know [1097] thee [4571] the only [3441] true [228] God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], whom [3739] thou hast sent [649].
50 And [2532] I know [1492] that [3754] his [846] commandment [1785] is [2076] life [2222] everlasting [166]: whatsoever [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] therefore [3767], even as [2531] the Father [3962] said [2046] unto me [3427], so [3779] I speak [2980].
64 But [235] there are [1526] some [5100] of [1537] you [5216] that [3739] believe [4100] not [3756]. For [1063] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] from [1537] the beginning [746] who [5101] they were [1526] that believed [4100] not [3361], and [2532] who [5101] should [2076] betray [3860] him [846].
47 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
24 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] He that heareth [191] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] believeth [4100] on him that sent [3992] me [3165], hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222], and [2532] shall [2064] not [3756] come [2064] into [1519] condemnation [2920]; but [235] is passed [3327] from [1537] death [2288] unto [1519] life [2222].
36 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846].
39 Search [2045] the scriptures [1124]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] ye [5210] think [1380] ye have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]: and [2532] they [1565] are they [1526] which testify [3140] of [4012] me [1700].
16 And [2532], behold [2400], one [1520] came [4334] and said [2036] unto him [846], Good [18] Master [1320], what [5101] good thing [18] shall I do [4160], that [2443] I may have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]?
46 And [2532] these [3778] shall go away [565] into [1519] everlasting [166] punishment [2851]: but [1161] the righteous [1342] into [1519] life [2222] eternal [166].
70 As [2531] he spake [2980] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of his [846] holy [40] prophets [4396], which [3588] have been since [575] the world began [165]:
2 In [1909] hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222], which [3739] God [2316], that cannot lie [893], promised [1861] before [4253] the world [166] began [5550];
9 Who [3588] hath saved [4982] us [2248], and [2532] called [2564] us with an holy [40] calling [2821], not [3756] according to [2596] our [2257] works [2041], but [235] according to [2596] his own [2398] purpose [4286] and [2532] grace [5485], which [3588] was given [1325] us [2254] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] before [4253] the world began [5550] [166],
3 And [2532] they sing [103] the song [5603] of Moses [3475] the servant [1401] of God [2316], and [2532] the song [5603] of the Lamb [721], saying [3004], Great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298] are thy [4675] works [2041], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841]; just [1342] and [2532] true [228] are thy [4675] ways [3598], thou King [935] of saints [40].
17 Now [1161] unto the King [935] eternal [165], immortal [862], invisible [517], the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316], be honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
26 But [1161] now [3568] is made manifest [5319], and [5037] by [1223] the scriptures [1124] of the prophets [4397], according [2596] to the commandment [2003] of the everlasting [166] God [2316], made known [1107] to [1519] all [3956] nations [1484] for [1519] the obedience [5218] of faith [4102]:
20 For [1063] the invisible things [517] of him [846] from [575] the creation [2937] of the world [2889] are clearly seen [2529], being understood [3539] by the things that are made [4161], even [5037] his [846] eternal [126] power [1411] and [2532] Godhead [2305]; so [1519] that they [846] are [1511] without excuse [379]:
8 For I the LORD [03068] love [0157] judgment [04941], I hate [08130] robbery [01498] for burnt offering [05930]; and I will direct [05414] their work [06468] in truth [0571], and I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them.
6 He stood [05975], and measured [04128] the earth [0776]: he beheld [07200], and drove asunder [05425] the nations [01471]; and the everlasting [05703] mountains [02042] were scattered [06327], the perpetual [05769] hills [01389] did bow [07817]: his ways [01979] are everlasting [05769].
6 I went down [03381] to the bottoms [07095] of the mountains [02022]; the earth [0776] with her bars [01280] was about me for ever [05769]: yet hast thou brought up [05927] my life [02416] from corruption [07845], O LORD [03068] my God [0430].
28 Remove [05253] not the ancient [05769] landmark [01366], which thy fathers [01] have set [06213].
15 One [0259] ordinance [02708] shall be both for you of the congregation [06951], and also for the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] with you, an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755]: as ye are, so shall the stranger [01616] be before [06440] the LORD [03068].
8 And the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], the priests [03548], shall blow [08628] with the trumpets [02689]; and they shall be to you for an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755].
4 And said [0559] unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] thee, and I will make [05414] of thee a multitude [06951] of people [05971]; and will give [05414] this land [0776] to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272].
13 Wherefore [1355], if [1487] meat [1033] make [4624] my [3450] brother [80] to offend [4624], I will eat [5315] no [3364] flesh [2907] while the world standeth [1519] [165], lest [3363] I make [4624] my [3450] brother [80] to offend [4624].
8 Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thou shalt [3538] never [1519] [165] [3364] wash [3538] my [3450] feet [4228]. Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], If [3362] I wash [3538] thee [4571] not [3362], thou hast [2192] no [3756] part [3313] with [3326] me [1700].
19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583].
4 Howbeit the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] chose [0977] me before all the house [01004] of my father [01] to be king [04428] over Israel [03478] for ever [05769]: for he hath chosen [0977] Judah [03063] to be the ruler [05057]; and of the house [01004] of Judah [03063], the house [01004] of my father [01]; and among the sons [01121] of my father [01] he liked [07521] me to make me king [04427] over all Israel [03478]:
17 Then thou shalt take [03947] an aul [04836], and thrust [05414] it through his ear [0241] unto the door [01817], and he shall be thy servant [05650] for ever [05769]. And also unto thy maidservant [0519] thou shalt do [06213] likewise.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance [05157] for your children [01121] after [0310] you, to inherit [03423] them for a possession [0272]; they shall be your bondmen [05647] for ever [05769]: but over your brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], ye shall not rule [07287] one [0376] over another [0251] with rigour [06531].
13 And he will take [03947] your daughters [01323] to be confectionaries [07548], and to be cooks [02879], and to be bakers [0644].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
13 Remember [02142] Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Israel [03478], thy servants [05650], to whom thou swarest [07650] by thine own self, and saidst [01696] unto them, I will multiply [07235] your seed [02233] as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064], and all this land [0776] that I have spoken [0559] of will I give [05414] unto your seed [02233], and they shall inherit [05157] it for ever [05769].
9 And thou shalt gird [02296] them with girdles [073], Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and put [02280] the bonnets [04021] on them: and the priest's office [03550] shall be theirs for a perpetual [05769] statute [02708]: and thou shalt consecrate [04390] [03027] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121].
6 Then his master [0113] shall bring [05066] him unto the judges [0430]; he shall also bring [05066] him to the door [01817], or unto the door post [04201]; and his master [0113] shall bore [07527] his ear [0241] through with an aul [04836]; and he shall serve [05647] him for ever [05769].
6 And [5037] the angels [32] which kept [5083] not [3361] their [1438] first estate [746], but [235] left [620] their own [2398] habitation [3613], he hath reserved [5083] in everlasting [126] chains [1199] under [5259] darkness [2217] unto [1519] the judgment [2920] of the great [3173] day [2250].
20 Now [1161] unto God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
27 To God [2316] only [3441] wise [4680], be glory [1391] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
8 But [1161] unto [4314] the Son [5207] he saith, Thy [4675] throne [2362], O God [2316], is for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]: a sceptre [4464] of righteousness [2118] is the sceptre [4464] of thy [4675] kingdom [932].
21 Unto him [846] be glory [1391] in [1722] the church [1577] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] throughout [1519] all [3956] ages [1074], world [165] without end [165]. Amen [281].
26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846].
11 Now [1161] all [3956] these things [5023] happened [4819] unto them [1565] for ensamples [5179]: and [1161] they are written [1125] for [4314] our [2257] admonition [3559], upon [1519] whom [3739] the ends [5056] of the world [165] are come [2658].
21 Unto him [846] be glory [1391] in [1722] the church [1577] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] throughout [1519] all [3956] ages [1074], world [165] without end [165]. Amen [281].
9 And [2532] to make [5461] all [3956] men see [5461] what [5101] is the fellowship [2842] of the mystery [3466], which [3588] from [575] the beginning of the world [165] hath been hid [613] in [1722] God [2316], who [3588] created [2936] all things [3956] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
7 That [2443] in [1722] the ages [165] to come [1904] he might shew [1731] the exceeding [5235] riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485] in [1722] his kindness [5544] toward [1909] us [2248] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
21 Far above [5231] all [3956] principality [746], and [2532] power [1849], and [2532] might [1411], and [2532] dominion [2963], and [2532] every [3956] name [3686] that is named [3687], not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] that which is to come [3195]:
11 According to [2596] the eternal [165] purpose [4286] which [3739] he purposed [4160] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962]:
15 But [1161] sanctify [37] the Lord [2962] God [2316] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]: and [1161] be ready [2092] always [104] to [4314] give an answer [627] to every man [3956] that asketh [154] you [5209] a reason [3056] of [4012] the hope [1680] that is in [1722] you [5213] with [3326] meekness [4240] and [2532] fear [5401]:
10 Wherefore [1352] I was grieved [4360] with that [1565] generation [1074], and [2532] said [2036], They do [4105] alway [104] err [4105] in their heart [2588]; and [1161] they [846] have [1097] not [3756] known [1097] my [3450] ways [3598].
10 As [5613] sorrowful [3076], yet [1161] alway [104] rejoicing [5463]; as [5613] poor [4434], yet [1161] making [4148] many [4183] rich [4148]; as [5613] having [2192] nothing [3367], and [2532] yet possessing [2722] all things [3956].
11 For we [2249] which [3588] live [2198] are [3860] alway [104] [1063] delivered [3860] unto [1519] death [2288] for [1223] Jesus [2424]' sake [1223], that [2443] the life [2222] also [2532] of Jesus [2424] might be made manifest [5319] in [1722] our [2257] mortal [2349] flesh [4561].
51 Ye stiffnecked [4644] and [2532] uncircumcised [564] in heart [2588] and [2532] ears [3775], ye [5210] do [496] always [104] resist [496] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: as [5613] your [5216] fathers [3962] did, so [2532] do ye [5210].
12 One [5100] of [1537] themselves [846], even a prophet [4396] of their [846] own [2398], said [2036], The Cretians [2912] are alway [104] liars [5583], evil [2556] beasts [2342], slow [692] bellies [1064].
3 Through faith [4102] we understand [3539] that the worlds [165] were framed [2675] by the word [4487] of God [2316], so [1519] that things which [3588] are seen [991] were [1096] not [3361] made [1096] of [1537] things which do appear [5316].
26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846].
2 Hath [2980] in [1909] these [5130] last [2078] days [2250] spoken [2980] unto us [2254] by [1722] his Son [5207], whom [3739] he hath appointed [5087] heir [2818] of all things [3956], by [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] he made [4160] the worlds [165];
11 Now [1161] all [3956] these things [5023] happened [4819] unto them [1565] for ensamples [5179]: and [1161] they are written [1125] for [4314] our [2257] admonition [3559], upon [1519] whom [3739] the ends [5056] of the world [165] are come [2658].
7 But [235] we speak [2980] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316] in [1722] a mystery [3466], even the hidden [613] wisdom, which [3739] God [2316] ordained [4309] before [4253] the world [165] unto [1519] our [2257] glory [1391]:
21 Far above [5231] all [3956] principality [746], and [2532] power [1849], and [2532] might [1411], and [2532] dominion [2963], and [2532] every [3956] name [3686] that is named [3687], not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] that which is to come [3195]:
6 Howbeit [1161] we speak [2980] wisdom [4678] among [1722] them that are perfect [5046]: yet [1161] not [3756] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [165], nor [3761] of the princes [758] of this [5127] world [165], that come to nought [2673]:
20 Where [4226] is the wise [4680]? where [4226] is the scribe [1122]? where [4226] is the disputer [4804] of this [5127] world [165]? hath [3471] not [3780] God [2316] made foolish [3471] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [2889]?
70 As [2531] he spake [2980] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of his [846] holy [40] prophets [4396], which [3588] have been since [575] the world began [165]:
49 So [3779] shall it be [2071] at [1722] the end [4930] of the world [165]: the angels [32] shall come forth [1831], and [2532] sever [873] the wicked [4190] from [1537] among [3319] the just [1342],
40 As [5618] therefore [3767] the tares [2215] are gathered [4816] and [2532] burned [2618] in the fire [4442]; so [3779] shall it be [2071] in [1722] the end [4930] of this [5127] world [165].
32 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] speaketh [2036] a word [3056] against [2596] the Son [5207] of man [444], it shall be forgiven [863] him [846]: but [3739] whosoever [1161] [302] speaketh [2036] against [2596] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], it shall [863] not [3756] be forgiven [863] him [846], neither [3777] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], neither [3777] in [1722] the world to come [3195].
9 Who [3748] shall be punished [1349] [5099] with everlasting [166] destruction [3639] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] from [575] the glory [1391] of his [846] power [2479];
11 Strengthened [1412] with [1722] all [3956] might [1411], according to [2596] his [846] glorious [1391] power [2904], unto [1519] all [3956] patience [5281] and [2532] longsuffering [3115] with [3326] joyfulness [5479];
1 And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] I heard [191] a great [3173] voice [5456] of much [4183] people [3793] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], Alleluia [239]; Salvation [4991], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], unto the Lord [2962] our [2257] God [2316]:
11 Thou art [1488] worthy [514], O Lord [2962], to receive [2983] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] power [1411]: for [3754] thou [4771] hast created [2936] all things [3956], and [2532] for [1223] thy [4675] pleasure [2307] they are [1526] and [2532] were created [2936].
27 And [2532] then [5119] shall they see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] a cloud [3507] with [3326] power [1411] and [2532] great [4183] glory [1391].
26 And [2532] then [5119] shall they see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] the clouds [3507] with [3326] great [4183] power [1411] and [2532] glory [1391].
30 And [2532] then [5119] shall appear [5316] the sign [4592] of the Son [5207] of man [444] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] then [5119] shall [2875] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the earth [1093] mourn [2875], and [2532] they shall see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1909] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772] with [3326] power [1411] and [2532] great [4183] glory [1391].
21 To go [0935] into the clefts [05366] of the rocks [06697], and into the tops [05585] of the ragged rocks [05553], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
19 And they shall go [0935] into the holes [04631] of the rocks [06697], and into the caves [04247] of the earth [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
10 Enter [0935] into the rock [06697], and hide [02934] thee in the dust [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347].
12 [2532] That [1519] ye [5209] would walk [4043] worthy [516] of God [2316], who hath called [2564] you [5209] unto [1519] his [1438] kingdom [932] and [2532] glory [1391].
25 And took off [05493] their chariot [04818] wheels [0212], that they drave [05090] them heavily [03517]: so that the Egyptians [04714] said [0559], Let us flee [05127] from the face [06440] of Israel [03478]; for the LORD [03068] fighteth [03898] for them against the Egyptians [04714].
16 And Cain [07014] went out [03318] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], and dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Nod [05113], on the east [06926] of Eden [05731].
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out [01644] this day [03117] from the face [06440] of the earth [0127]; and from [05921] thy face [06440] shall I be hid [05641]; and I shall be a fugitive [05128] and a vagabond [05110] in the earth [0776]; and it shall come to pass [01961], that every one that findeth me [04672] shall slay me [02026].
8 And they heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] walking [01980] in the garden [01588] in the cool [07307] of the day [03117]: and Adam [0120] and his wife [0802] hid themselves [02244] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] amongst [08432] the trees [06086] of the garden [01588].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846].
14 And [2532] to the woman [1135] were given [1325] two [1417] wings [4420] of a great [3173] eagle [105], that [2443] she might fly [4072] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], into [1519] her [846] place [5117], where [3699] she is nourished [5142] for a time [1563] [2540], and [2532] times [2540], and [2532] half [2255] a time [2540], from [575] the face [4383] of the serpent [3789].
16 And [2532] said [3004] to the mountains [3735] and [2532] rocks [4073], Fall [4098] on [1909] us [2248], and [2532] hide [2928] us [2248] from [575] the face [4383] of him that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] from [575] the wrath [3709] of the Lamb [721]:
45 Which [3739] also [2532] our [2257] fathers [3962] that came [1237] after brought in [1521] with [3326] Jesus [2424] into [1722] the possession [2697] of the Gentiles [1484], whom [3739] God [2316] drave out [1856] before [575] the face [4383] of our [2257] fathers [3962], unto [2193] the days [2250] of David [1138];
41 And [3767] they departed [4198] [3303] from [575] the presence [4383] of the council [4892], rejoicing [5463] that [3754] they were counted worthy [2661] to suffer shame [818] for [5228] his [846] name [3686].
19 Repent ye [3340] therefore [3767], and [2532] be converted [1994], that [1519] your [5216] sins [266] may be blotted out [1813], when [3704] the times [2540] of refreshing [403] shall come [302] [2064] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962];
11 For [1063] the sun [2246] is no sooner risen [393] with [4862] a burning heat [2742], but [2532] it withereth [3583] the grass [5528], and [2532] the flower [438] thereof [846] falleth [1601], and [2532] the grace [2143] of the fashion [4383] of it [846] perisheth [622]: so [3779] also [2532] shall [3133] the rich man [4145] fade away [3133] in [1722] his [846] ways [4197].
1 Now [1161] I [1473] Paul [3972] myself [846] beseech [3870] you [5209] by [1223] the meekness [4236] and [2532] gentleness [1932] of Christ [5547], who [3739] in [2596] presence [4383] am base [3303] [5011] among [1722] you [5213], but [1161] being absent [548] am bold [2292] toward [1519] you [5209]:
12 For [1063] we commend [4921] not [3756] ourselves [1438] again [3825] unto you [5213], but [235] give [1325] you [5213] occasion [874] to glory [2745] on [5228] our [2257] behalf [5228], that [2443] ye may have [2192] somewhat to [4314] answer them which glory [2744] in [1722] appearance [4383], and [2532] not [3756] in heart [2588].
6 But [1161] of [575] these who seemed [1380] to be [1511] somewhat [5100], (whatsoever [3697] [4218] they were [2258], it maketh [1308] no [3762] matter [1308] to me [3427]: God [2316] accepteth [2983] no [3756] man's [444] person [4383]:) for [1063] they who seemed [1380] to be somewhat in conference added [4323] nothing [3762] to me [1698]:
21 And [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou sayest [3004] and [2532] teachest [1321] rightly [3723], [2532] neither [3756] acceptest thou [2983] the person [4383] of any, but [235] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] truly [225] [1909]:
16 And [2532] they sent out [649] unto him [846] their [846] disciples [3101] with [3326] the Herodians [2265], saying [3004], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou art [1488] true [227], and [2532] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] in [1722] truth [225], [2532] neither [3756] carest [3199] thou [4671] for [4012] any [3762] man: for [1063] thou regardest [991] not [1519] [3756] the person [4383] of men [444].
41 And [3767] they departed [4198] [3303] from [575] the presence [4383] of the council [4892], rejoicing [5463] that [3754] they were counted worthy [2661] to suffer shame [818] for [5228] his [846] name [3686].
19 Repent ye [3340] therefore [3767], and [2532] be converted [1994], that [1519] your [5216] sins [266] may be blotted out [1813], when [3704] the times [2540] of refreshing [403] shall come [302] [2064] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962];
13 The God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] of Jacob [2384], the God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962], hath glorified [1392] his [846] Son [3816] Jesus [2424]; whom [3739] ye [5210] delivered up [3860], and [2532] denied [720] him [846] in [2596] the presence [4383] of Pilate [4091], when he was determined [2919] to let [630] him [1565] go [630].
