| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
warned of God--The same Greek, Heb 8:5, "admonished of God."
moved with fear--not mere slavish fear, but as in Heb 5:7; see on Heb 5:7; Greek, "reverential fear": opposed to the world's sneering disbelief of the revelation, and self-deceiving security. Join "by faith" with "prepared an ark" (Pe1 3:20).
by the which--faith.
condemned the world--For since he believed and was saved, so might they have believed and been saved, so that their condemnation by God is by his case shown to be just.
righteousness which is by faith--Greek, "according to faith." A Pauline thought. Noah is first called "righteous" in Gen 6:9. Christ calls Abel so, Mat 23:35. Compare as to Noah's righteousness, Eze 14:14, Eze 14:20; Pe2 2:5, "a preacher of righteousness." Paul here makes faith the principle and ground of his righteousness.
heir--the consequence of sonship which flows from faith. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
By faith Noah - It is less difficult to see that Noah must have been influenced "by faith" than that Abel and Enoch were. Everything which Noah did in reference to the threatened deluge, was done in virtue of simple faith or belief of what God said. It was not because he could show from the course of events that things were tending to such a catastrophe; or because such an event had occurred before, rendering it probable that it would be likely to occur again; or because this was the common belief of men, and it was easy to fall into this himself. It was simply because God had informed him of it, and he put unwavering reliance on the truth of the divine declaration.
Being warned of God - Gen 6:13." The Greek word used here means divinely admonished; compare Heb 8:5.
Of things not seen as yet - Of the flood which was yet future. The meaning is, that there were no visible signs of it; there was nothing which could be a basis of calculation that it would occur. This admonition was given an hundered and twenty years before the deluge, and of course long before there could have been any natural indications that it would occur.
Moved with fear - Margin, "Being wary." The Greek word - εὐλαβηθεὶς eulabētheis - occurs only here and in Act 23:10, "The chief captain fearing lest Paul," etc. The noun occurs in Heb 5:7, "And was heard in that he feared," (see the note on that place), and in Heb 12:28, "With reverence and godly fear." The verb properly means, "to act with caution, to be circumspect," and then "to fear, to be afraid." So far as the "word" is concerned, it might mean here that Noah was influenced by the dread of what was coming, or it may mean that he was influenced by proper caution and reverence for God. The latter meaning agrees better with the scope of the remarks of Paul, and is probably the true sense. His reverence and respect for God induced him to act under the belief that what he had said was true, and that the calamity which he had predicted would certainly come upon the world.
Prepared an ark to the saving of his house - In order that his family might be saved. Gen 6:14-22. The salvation here referred to was preservation from the flood.
By the which - By which faith.
He condemned the world - That is, the wicked world around him. The meaning is, that by his confidence in God, and his preparation for the flood, he showed the wisdom of his own course and the folly of theirs. We have the same phrase now in common use where one who sets a good example is said to "condemn others." He shows the guilt and folly of their lives by the contrast between his conduct; and theirs. The wickedness of the sinner is condemned not only by preaching, and by the admonitions and threatenings of the Law of God, but by the conduct of every good man. The language of such a life is as plain a rebuke of the sinner as the most fearful denunciations of divine wrath.
And became heir of the righteousness which is by faith - The phrase "heir of righteousness" here means properly that he acquired, gained, or became possessed of that righteousness. It does not refer so much to the "mode" by which it was done as if it were by inheritance, as to the "fact" that he obtained it. The word "heir" is used in this general sense in Rom 4:13-14; Tit 3:7; Heb 1:2; Heb 6:17. Noah was not the "heir" to that righteousness by "inheriting" it from his ancestors, but in virtue of it he was regarded as among the heirs or sons of God, and as being a possessor of that righteousness which is connected with faith. The phrase "righteousness which is by faith" refers to the fact that he was regarded and treated as a righteous man. notes on Rom 1:17. It is observable here that it is not said that Noah had specific faith in Christ, or that his being made heir of the righteousness of faith depended on that, but it was in connection with his believing what God said respecting the deluge.
It was "faith or confidence" in God which was the ground of his justification, in accordance with the general doctrine of the Scriptures that it is only by faith that man can be saved, though the specific mode of faith was not what is required now under the gospel. In the early ages of the world, when few truths were revealed, a cordial belief of any of those truths showed that there was real confidence in God, or that the "principle" of faith was in the heart; in the fuller revelation which we enjoy, we are not only to believe those truths, but specifically to believe in him who has made the great atonement for sin, and by whose merits all have been saved who have entered heaven. The same faith or confidence in God which led Noah to believe what God said about the deluge would have led him to believe what he has said about the Redeemer; and the same confidence in Godwhich led him to commit himself to his safe keeping in an ark on the world of waters, would have led him to commit his soul to the safe keeping of the Redeemer, the true ark of safety. As the "principle" of faith, therefore, existed in the heart of Noah, it was proper that he should become, with others, an "heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
(If this righteousness which is by faith be the same with that in Rom 1:17; Rom 3:21; and of this there can be no doubt - if it be the same with what forms the ground of the sinner's justification in every age, namely, the glorious righteousness which Christ has worked out in his active and passive obedience - then clearly there is no way of getting possession of this, but by faith in Jesus, And, without doubt, by "this" faith, Noah was saved. It is absurd to suppose that the doctrine of salvation by the Redeemer was unknown to him. Was not the ark itself a type and pledge of this salvation? Pe1 3:21. Was Noah ignorant of the promise concerning the Messiah? Dr. Owen can scarce speak with patience of the view that excludes Christ as the specific object of Noah's faith," That in this faith of the patriarchs no respect was had unto Christ and his righteousness, is such a putid figment, is so destructive of the first promises, and of all true faith in the church of old, is so inconsistent with, and contrary to the design of the apostle, and is so utterly destructive of the whole force of his argument, that it deserves no consideration." The idea indeed seems to derogate from the glory of Christ as the alone object of faith and salvation in every age; see also Scott. Bloomfield, McLean.)
In regard to the circumstances which show the strength of his faith, we may make the following remarks:
(1) It pertained to a very distant future event. It looked forward to what was to happen after a lapse of an hundred and twenty years. This was known to Noah Gen 6:3, and at this long period before it occurred, he was to begin to build an ark to save himself and family; to act as though this would be undoubtedly true. This is a much longer period than man now is required to exercise faith before that is realized which is the object of belief. Rare is it that three score years intervene between the time when a man first believes in God and when he enters into heaven; much more frequently it is but a few months or days; not an instance now occurs in which the period is lengthened out to 120 years.
(2) there was no outward "evidence" that what Noah believed would occur. There were no appearances in nature which indicated that there would be such a flood of waters after more than a century had passed away. There were no breakings up of the fountains of the deep; no marks of the far distant storm gathering on the sky which could be the basis of the calculation. The "word of God" was the only ground of evidence; the only thing to which he could refer gainsayers and revilers. It is so now. There are no visible signs of the coming of the Saviour to judge the world. Yet the true believer feels and acts as if it were so - resting on the sure word of God.
(3) the course of things was much against the truth of what Noah believed. No such event had ever occurred. There is no evidence that there had ever been a storm of rain half sufficient to drown the world; or that there had ever been the breaking up of the deep, or that there had been ever a partial deluge. For sixteen hundred years the course of nature had been uniform, and all the force of this uniformity would be felt and urged when it should be alleged that this was to be disturbed and to give place to an entire new order of events. Compare Pe2 3:4. The same thing is now felt in regard to the objects of the Christian faith. The course of events is uniform. The laws of nature are regular and steady. The dead do not leave their graves. Seasons succeed each other in regular succession; people are born, live, and die, as in former times; fire does not wrap the earth in flames; the elements do not melt with fervent heat; seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter follow each other, and "all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." How many probabilities are there now, therefore, as there were in the time of Noah, against what is the object of faith!
(4) it is not improbable that when Noah proclaimed the approaching destruction of the world by a deluge, the "possibility" of such an event was strongly denied by the philosophers of that age. The fact that such an event could have occurred has been denied by infidel philosophers in our own times, and attempts have been gravely made to show that the earth did not contain water enough to cover its surface to the height mentioned in the Scriptures, and that no condensation of the vapour in the atmosphere could produce such an effect. It is not improbable that some such arguments may have been used in the time of Noah, and "it is morally certain that he could not meet those arguments by any philosophy of his own." There is no reason to think that he was endowed with such a knowledge of chemistry as to be able to show that such a thing was possible, or that he had such an acquaintance with the structure of the earth as to demonstrate that it contained within itself the elements of its own destruction. All that he could oppose to such speculations was the simple declaration of God; and the same thing is also true now in regard to the cavils and philosophical arguments of infidelity. Objections drawn from philosophy are often made against the doctrine of the resurrection of the body; the destruction of the earth by the agency of fire; and even the existence of the soul after death. These difficulties may be obviated partly by science; but the proof that these events will occur, does not depend on science. It is a matter of simple faith; and all that we can in fact oppose to these objections is the declaration of God. The result showed that Noah was not a feel or a fanatic in trusting to the Word of God against the philosophy of his age; and the result will show the same of the Christian in his confiding in the truth of the divine declarations against the philosophy of "his" age.
(5) it is beyond all question that Noah would be subjected to much ridicule and scorn. He would be regarded as a dreamer; a fanatic; an alarmist; a wild projector. The purpose of making preparation for such an event as the flood, to occur after the lapse of an hundred and twenty years, and when there were no indications of it, and all appearances were against it, would be regarded as in the highest degree wild and visionary. The design of building a vessel which would outride the storm, and which would live in such an open sea, and which would contain all sorts of animals, with the food for them for an indefinite period, could not but have been regarded as eminently ridiculous. When the ark was preparing, nothing could have been a more happy subject for scoffing and jibes. In such an age, therefore, and in such circumstances, we may suppose that all the means possible would have been resorted to, to pour contempt on such an undertaking. They who had wit, would find here an ample subject for its exercise; if ballads were made then, no more fertile theme for a profane song could be desired than this; and in the haunts of revelry, intemperance, and pollution, nothing would furnish a finer topic to give point to a jest, than the credulity and folly of the old man who was building the ark. It would require strong faith to contend thus with the wit, the sarcasm, the contempt, the raillery, and the low jesting, as well as with the wisdom and philosophy of a whole world. Yet it is a fair illustration of what occurs often now, and of the strength of that faith in the Christian heart which meets meekly and calmly the scoffs and jeers of a wicked generation.
(6) all this would be heightened by delay. The time was distant. What now completes four generations would have passed away before the event predicted would occur. Youth grew up to manhood, and manhood passed on to old age, and still there were no signs of the coming storm. That was no feeble faith which could hold on in this manner, for an hundred and twenty years, believing unwaveringly that all which God had said would be accomplished. But it is an illustration of faith in the Christian church now. The church maintains the same confidence in God from age to age - and regardless of all the reproaches of scoffers, and all the arguments of philosophy, still adheres to the truths which God has revealed. So with individual Christians. They look for the promise. They are expecting heaven. They doubt not that the time will come when they will be received to glory; when their bodies will be raised up glorified and immortal, and when sin and sorrow will be no more.
In the conflicts and trials of life the time of their deliverance may seem to be long delayed. The world may reproach them, and Satan may tempt them to doubt whether all their hope of heaven is not delusion. But their faith fails not, and though hope seems delayed, and the heart is sick, yet they keep the eye on heaven. So it is in regard to the final triumphs of the gospel. The Christian looks forward to the time when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. Yet that time may seem to be long delayed. Wickedness triumphs. A large part of the earth is still filled with the habitations of cruelty. The progress of the gospel is slow. The church comes up reluctantly to the work. The enemies of the cause exult and rejoice, and ask with scoffing triumph where is the evidence that the nations will be converted to God? They suggest difficulties; they refer to the numbers, and to the opposition of the enemies of the true religion; to the might of kingdoms, and to the power of fixed opinion, and to the hold which idolatry has on mankind, and they sneeringly inquire at what period will the world be converted to Christ? Yet in the face of all difficulties, and arguments, and sneers, "faith" confides in the promise of the Father to the Son, that the "heathen shall be given to him for an inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for a possession," Psa 2:8. The faith of the true Christian is as strong in the fulfillment of this promise, as that of Noah was in the assurance that the guilty world would be destroyed by a flood of waters. |

Noah
Genesis 6.
Being warned of God (χρηματισθεὶς)
Of God is not in the text. See on Mat 2:12; see on Luk 2:26; see on Act 11:26; and comp. Heb 8:5.
Of things not seen as yet (περὶ τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων)
Const. with εὐλαβηθεὶς, and rend. "by faith Noah, being warned, having reverent care concerning things not seen as yet, prepared an ark," etc. Thus χρηματισθεὶς warned is taken absolutely. The things not seen were the well-known contents of the revelation to Noah, Gen 6:13 ff., as apprehended by Noah's faith.
Moved with fear (εὐλαβηθεὶς)
N.T.o. Often in Class. and lxx. See on εὐλάβεια godly fear, Heb 5:7. The A.V. gives the impression that Noah acted under the influence of fright. Rev. improves on this a little by rendering godly fear. The true idea is pious care, a reverent circumspection with regard to things enjoined by God, and as yet unseen, yet confidently expected on the strength of God's word.
Prepared (κατεσκεύασεν)
Built and equipped. See on Heb 3:3.
An ark (κιβωτὸν)
Originally, a wooden chest Also of the ark of the covenant in the temple and tabernacle, as Heb 9:4; Rev 11:19. Of Noah's ark, Mat 24:38; Luk 17:27; Pe1 3:20 Λάρσαξ a chest is found in Class. in the same sense. Every classical scholar will recall the charming fragment of Simonides on Danae and her infant son Perseus exposed in an ark:
Ὁτε λάρνακι ἐν δαισαλέᾳ ἄνεσμος
βρέμε πνέων κ. τ. λ.
Also of the ark of Deucalion, the mythic Noah.
By the which (δι' ἧς)
By faith: although some refer it to the ark.
He condemned the world (κατέκρινεν τὸν κόσμον)
His faith was exhibited in building the ark on the mere strength of God's declaration, while as yet there were no signs of the flood. By his faith thus manifested he announced the condemnation of the world to destruction. World is to be taken as in Pe2 2:5. It is not used in Hebrews in the ethical sense so common in John and Paul - the world as alien from God. The meaning of the statement is not that Noah condemned the conduct of his contemporaries by the contrast presented by his own faith, after the analogy of Mat 12:41; Rom 2:27.
And became heir (καὶ - ἐγένετο κληρονόμος)
This is not an independent clause, but is dependent on δι' ἧς by which. It is connected by καὶ with the preceding clause, and the two clauses are parallel, describing the lot of Noah and his family. Became heir is practically = became partaker of. The literal sense of heir must not be pressed. Certainly not "inherited the righteousness of Abel and Enoch." But righteousness came to Noah in virtue of his intimate fellowship with God. Of him as of Enoch, it is said that "he walked with God," Gen 6:9. Because of this fellowship he was a son of God and an heir of righteousness.
Of the righteousness which is by faith (τῆς κατὰ πίστις δικαιοσύνης)
In the O.T. Noah is the first to receive the title of δίκαιος righteous, Gen 6:9; comp. Eze 14:14, Eze 14:20; Sir. 44:17. Κατὰ πίστιν, lit. according to faith, comp Mat 9:29; Tit 1:1, Tit 1:4. Paul has δικαιοσύνη and δίκαιος from or out of faith (ἐκ πίστεως), by faith (διὰ πίστεως), founded on faith (ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει), and of faith (πίστεως), none of which are found either in Hebrews or in the Pastorals. Κατὰ πίστιν signifies according to faith as a standard; but the conception at bottom is not essentially different from Paul's, unless there be imported into his conception the scholastic fiction of imputed righteousness. Paul, in Romans 4 is at pains to show that the Christian conception of righteousness by faith has its parallel in Abraham, and that the doctrine of justification by faith is no new thing. Faith is the ground and the germ of righteousness. Our writer here lays down the absolute and universal standard of righteousness for the men of both dispensations - according to faith. Hence, like Paul, he cites the words of Hab 2:4. See Heb 10:38. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Noah being warned of things not seen as yet - Of the future deluge. Moved with fear, prepared an ark, by which open testimony he condemned the world - Who neither believed nor feared. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
By faith Noah - See the whole of this history, Gen 6:13.
Warned of God - Χρηματισθεις. As we know from the history in Genesis that God did warn Noah, we see from this the real import of the verb χρηματιζω, as used in various parts of the New Testament; it signifies to utter oracles, to give Divine warning.
Moved with fear - Ευλαβηθεις· Influenced by religious fear or reverence towards God. This is mentioned to show that he acted not from a fear of losing his life, but from the fear of God; and hence that fear is here properly attributed to faith.
He condemned the world - He credited God, they did not; he walked in the way God had commanded, they did not; he repeatedly admonished them, Pe1 3:20, they regarded it not; this aggravated their crimes while it exalted his faith and righteousness. "His faith and obedience condemned the world, i.e. the unbelievers, in the same sense in which every good man's virtues and exhortations condemn such as will not attend to and imitate them." Dodd.
Became heir of the righteousness - He became entitled to that justification which is by faith; and his temporal deliverance was a pledge of the salvation of his soul. |
5 And [2532] spared [5339] not [3756] the old [744] world [2889], but [235] saved [5442] Noah [3575] the eighth [3590] person, a preacher [2783] of righteousness [1343], bringing in [1863] the flood [2627] upon the world [2889] of the ungodly [765];
20 Though Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], they shall deliver [05337] neither son [01121] nor [0518] daughter [01323]; they shall but deliver [05337] their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666].
14 Though these three [07969] men [0582], Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], they should deliver [05337] but their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
35 That [3704] upon [1909] you [5209] may come [2064] all [3956] the righteous [1342] blood [129] shed [1632] upon [1909] the earth [1093], from [575] the blood [129] of righteous [1342] Abel [6] unto [2193] the blood [129] of Zacharias [2197] son [5207] of Barachias [914], whom [3739] ye slew [5407] between [3342] the temple [3485] and [2532] the altar [2379].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
20 Which sometime [4218] were disobedient [544], when [3753] once [530] the longsuffering [3115] of God [2316] waited [1551] in [1722] the days [2250] of Noah [3575], while the ark [2787] was a preparing [2680], wherein [1519] [3739] few [3641], that is [5123], eight [3638] souls [5590] were saved [1295] by [1223] water [5204].
7 Who [3739] in [1722] the days [2250] of his [846] flesh [4561], when he had offered up [4374] prayers [1162] and [5037] [2532] supplications [2428] with [3326] strong [2478] crying [2906] and [2532] tears [1144] unto [4314] him that was able [1410] to save [4982] him [846] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] was heard [1522] in that [575] he feared [2124];
7 Who [3739] in [1722] the days [2250] of his [846] flesh [4561], when he had offered up [4374] prayers [1162] and [5037] [2532] supplications [2428] with [3326] strong [2478] crying [2906] and [2532] tears [1144] unto [4314] him that was able [1410] to save [4982] him [846] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] was heard [1522] in that [575] he feared [2124];
5 Who [3748] serve [3000] unto the example [5262] and [2532] shadow [4639] of heavenly things [2032], as [2531] Moses [3475] was admonished of God [5537] when he was about [3195] to make [2005] the tabernacle [4633]: for [1063], See [3708], saith he [5346], that thou make [4160] all things [3956] according to [2596] the pattern [5179] shewed [1166] to thee [4671] in [1722] the mount [3735].
8 Ask [07592] of me, and I shall give [05414] thee the heathen [01471] for thine inheritance [05159], and the uttermost parts [0657] of the earth [0776] for thy possession [0272].
4 And [2532] saying [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] the promise [1860] of his [846] coming [3952]? for [1063] since [575] [3739] the fathers [3962] fell asleep [2837], all things [3956] continue [3779] [1265] as they were from [575] the beginning [746] of the creation [2937].
3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], My spirit [07307] shall not always [05769] strive [01777] with man [0120], for that he also [01571] [07683] is flesh [01320]: yet his days [03117] shall be an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141].
21 The like figure [499] whereunto [3739] even baptism [908] doth [4982] also [2532] now [3568] save [4982] us [2248] (not [3756] the putting away [595] of the filth [4509] of the flesh [4561], but [235] the answer [1906] of a good [18] conscience [4893] toward [1519] God [2316],) by [1223] the resurrection [386] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396];
17 For [1063] therein [1722] [846] is [601] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] revealed [601] from [1537] faith [4102] to [1519] faith [4102]: as [2531] it is written [1125], [1161] The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
17 For [1063] therein [1722] [846] is [601] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] revealed [601] from [1537] faith [4102] to [1519] faith [4102]: as [2531] it is written [1125], [1161] The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
17 Wherein [1722] [3739] God [2316], willing [1014] more abundantly [4054] to shew [1925] unto the heirs [2818] of promise [1860] the immutability [276] of his [846] counsel [1012], confirmed [3315] it by an oath [3727]:
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];
7 That [2443] being justified by [1344] his [1565] grace [5485], we should be made [1096] heirs [2818] according to [2596] the hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222].
13 For [1063] the promise [1860], that he should be [1511] the [846] heir [2818] of the world [2889], was not [3756] to Abraham [11], or [2228] to his [846] seed [4690], through [1223] the law [3551], but [235] through [1223] the righteousness [1343] of faith [4102].
14 For [1063] if [1487] they which are of [1537] the law [3551] be heirs [2818], faith [4102] is made void [2758], and [2532] the promise [1860] made of none effect [2673]:
14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did [06213] Noah [05146]; according to all that God [0430] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he.
28 Wherefore [1352] we receiving [3880] a kingdom [932] which cannot be moved [761], let us have [2192] grace [5485], whereby [1223] [3739] we may serve [3000] God [2316] acceptably [2102] with [3326] reverence [127] and [2532] godly fear [2124]:
7 Who [3739] in [1722] the days [2250] of his [846] flesh [4561], when he had offered up [4374] prayers [1162] and [5037] [2532] supplications [2428] with [3326] strong [2478] crying [2906] and [2532] tears [1144] unto [4314] him that was able [1410] to save [4982] him [846] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] was heard [1522] in that [575] he feared [2124];
10 And [1161] when there arose [1096] a great [4183] dissension [4714], the chief captain [5506], fearing [2125] lest [3361] Paul [3972] should have been pulled in pieces [1288] of [5259] them [846], commanded [2753] the soldiers [4753] to go down [2597], and to take [726] him [846] by force [726] from [1537] among [3319] them [846], and [5037] to bring [71] him into [1519] the castle [3925].
5 Who [3748] serve [3000] unto the example [5262] and [2532] shadow [4639] of heavenly things [2032], as [2531] Moses [3475] was admonished of God [5537] when he was about [3195] to make [2005] the tabernacle [4633]: for [1063], See [3708], saith he [5346], that thou make [4160] all things [3956] according to [2596] the pattern [5179] shewed [1166] to thee [4671] in [1722] the mount [3735].
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
8 Again [3825], the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] an exceeding [3029] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [2889], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846];
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
38 Now [1161] the just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102]: but [2532] if [1437] any man draw back [5288], my [3450] soul [5590] shall have [2106] no [3756] pleasure [2106] in [1722] him [846].
4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530].
4 To Titus [5103], mine own [1103] son [5043] after [2596] the common [2839] faith [4102]: Grace [5485], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Saviour [4990].
1 Paul [3972], a servant [1401] of God [2316], and [1161] an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], according to [2596] the faith [4102] of God's [2316] elect [1588], and [2532] the acknowledging [1922] of the truth [225] which [3588] is after [2596] godliness [2150];
29 Then [5119] touched he [680] their [846] eyes [3788], saying [3004], According [2596] to your [5216] faith [4102] be it [1096] unto you [5213].
20 Though Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], they shall deliver [05337] neither son [01121] nor [0518] daughter [01323]; they shall but deliver [05337] their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666].
14 Though these three [07969] men [0582], Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], they should deliver [05337] but their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
27 And [2532] shall not [2919] uncircumcision [203] which is by [1537] nature [5449], if it fulfil [5055] the law [3551], judge [2919] thee [4571], who by [1223] the letter [1121] and [2532] circumcision [4061] dost transgress [3848] the law [3551]?
41 The men [435] of Nineveh [3536] shall rise [450] in [1722] judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: because [3754] they repented [3340] at [1519] the preaching [2782] of Jonas [2495]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Jonas [2495] is here [5602].
5 And [2532] spared [5339] not [3756] the old [744] world [2889], but [235] saved [5442] Noah [3575] the eighth [3590] person, a preacher [2783] of righteousness [1343], bringing in [1863] the flood [2627] upon the world [2889] of the ungodly [765];
20 Which sometime [4218] were disobedient [544], when [3753] once [530] the longsuffering [3115] of God [2316] waited [1551] in [1722] the days [2250] of Noah [3575], while the ark [2787] was a preparing [2680], wherein [1519] [3739] few [3641], that is [5123], eight [3638] souls [5590] were saved [1295] by [1223] water [5204].
27 They did eat [2068], they drank [4095], they married wives [1060], they were given in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787], and [2532] the flood [2627] came [2064], and [2532] destroyed [622] them all [537].
38 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] the days [2250] that were [2258] before [4253] the flood [2627] they were eating [5176] and [2532] drinking [4095], marrying [1060] and [2532] giving in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787],
19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464].
4 Which had [2192] the golden [5552] censer [2369], and [2532] the ark [2787] of the covenant [1242] overlaid [4028] round about [3840] with gold [5553], wherein [1722] [3739] was the golden [5552] pot [4713] that had [2192] manna [3131], and [2532] Aaron's [2] rod [4464] that budded [985], and [2532] the tables [4109] of the covenant [1242];
3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846].
7 Who [3739] in [1722] the days [2250] of his [846] flesh [4561], when he had offered up [4374] prayers [1162] and [5037] [2532] supplications [2428] with [3326] strong [2478] crying [2906] and [2532] tears [1144] unto [4314] him that was able [1410] to save [4982] him [846] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] was heard [1522] in that [575] he feared [2124];
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
5 Who [3748] serve [3000] unto the example [5262] and [2532] shadow [4639] of heavenly things [2032], as [2531] Moses [3475] was admonished of God [5537] when he was about [3195] to make [2005] the tabernacle [4633]: for [1063], See [3708], saith he [5346], that thou make [4160] all things [3956] according to [2596] the pattern [5179] shewed [1166] to thee [4671] in [1722] the mount [3735].
26 And [2532] when he had found [2147] him [846], he brought [71] him [846] unto [1519] Antioch [490]. And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that a whole [3650] year [1763] they [846] assembled themselves [4863] with [1722] the church [1577], and [2532] taught [1321] much [2425] people [3793]. And [5037] the disciples [3101] were called [5537] Christians [5546] first [4412] in [1722] Antioch [490].
26 And [2532] it was [2258] revealed [5537] unto him [846] by [5259] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], that he should [1492] not [3361] see [1492] death [2288], before [4250] [2228] he had seen [1492] the Lord's [2962] Christ [5547].
12 And [2532] being warned of God [5537] in [2596] a dream [3677] that they should [344] not [3361] return [344] to [4314] Herod [2264], they departed [402] into [1519] their own [846] country [5561] another [1223] [243] way [3598].
20 Which sometime [4218] were disobedient [544], when [3753] once [530] the longsuffering [3115] of God [2316] waited [1551] in [1722] the days [2250] of Noah [3575], while the ark [2787] was a preparing [2680], wherein [1519] [3739] few [3641], that is [5123], eight [3638] souls [5590] were saved [1295] by [1223] water [5204].
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
