A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
And hath--rather as Greek, "And (He) hath."
made us kings--The oldest manuscripts read, "a kingdom." One oldest manuscript reads the dative, "for us." Another reads "us," accusative: so Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS. This seems preferable, "He made us (to be) a kingdom." So Exo 19:6, "a kingdom of priests"; Pe1 2:9, "a royal priesthood." The saints shall constitute peculiarly a kingdom of God, and shall themselves be kings (Rev 5:10). They shall share His King-Priest throne in the millennial kingdom. The emphasis thus falls more on the kingdom than on priests: whereas in English Version reading it is equally distributed between both. This book lays prominent stress on the saints' kingdom. They are kings because they are priests: the priesthood is the continuous ground and legitimization of their kingship; they are kings in relation to man, priests in relation to God, serving Him day and night in His temple (Rev 7:15; Rev 5:10). The priest-kings shall rule, not in an external mechanical manner, but simply in virtue of what they are, by the power of attraction and conviction overcoming the heart [AUBERLEN].
priests--who have pre-eminently the privilege of near access to the king. David's sons were priests (Hebrew), Sa2 8:18. The distinction of priests and people, nearer and more remote from God, shall cease; all shall have nearest access to Him. All persons and things shall be holy to the Lord.
God and his Father--There is but one article to both in the Greek, therefore it means, "Unto Him who is at once God and His Father."
glory and dominion--Greek, "the glory and the might." The fuller threefold doxology occurs, Rev 4:9, Rev 4:11; fourfold, Rev 5:13; Jde 1:25; sevenfold, Rev 7:12; Ch1 29:11. Doxology occupies the prominent place above, which prayer does below. If we thought of God's glory first (as in the Lord's Prayer), and gave the secondary place to our needs, we should please God and gain our petitions better than we do.
for ever and ever--Greek, "unto the ages." |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And hath made us kings and priests unto God - In Pe1 2:9 the same idea is expressed by saying of Christians that they are "a royal priesthood." See the notes on that verse. The quotation in both places is from Exo 19:6; "And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests." This idea is expressed here by saying that Christ had made us in fact kings and priests; that is, Christians are exalted to the dignity and are invested with the office, implied in these words. The word "kings," as applied to them, refers to the exalted rank and dignity which they will have; to the fact that they, in common with their Saviour, will reign triumphant over all enemies; and that, having gained a victory over sin and death and hell, they may be represented as reigning together. The word "priests" refers to the fact that they are engaged in the holy service of God, or that they offer to him acceptable worship. See the notes on Pe1 2:5.
And his Father - Even his Father; that is, the Saviour has redeemed them, and elevated them to this exalted rank, in order that they may thus be engaged in the service of his Father.
To him be glory - To the Redeemer; for so the construction Rev 1:5 demands. The word "glory" here means praise, or honor, implying a wish that all honor should be shown him.
And dominion - This word means literally "strength" - κράτος kratos; but it here means the strength, power, or authority which is exercised over others, and the expression is equivalent to a wish that he may reign. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Kings (βασιλεῖς)
The correct reading is, βασιλείαν a kingdom. The term King is never applied in the New Testament to individual Christians. The reigning of the saints is emphasized in this book. See Rev 5:10; Rev 20:4, Rev 20:6; Rev 22:5. Compare Dan 7:18, Dan 7:22.
Priests (ἱερεῖς)
Kingdom describes the body of the redeemed collectively. Priests indicates their individual position. Peter observes the same distinction (Pe1 2:5) in the phrases living stones (individuals) and a spiritual house (the body collectively), and combines both kings and priests in another collective term, royal priesthood (Pe1 2:9). The priesthood of believers grows out of the priesthood of Christ (Psa 60:4; Zac 6:13; Hebrews 7-10). This dignity was promised to Israel on the condition of obedience and fidelity to God. "Ye shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exo 19:6). In the kingdom of Christ each individual is a priest. The priest's work is not limited to any order of the ministry. All may offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving: all have direct access to the holiest through the blood of Jesus: all Christians, as priests, are to minister to one another and to plead for one another. The consummation of this ideal appears in Rev 21:22, where the heavenly Jerusalem is represented as without temple. It is all temple. "It is the abolition of the distinction between holy and profane (Zac 14:20, Zac 14:21) - nearer and more remote from God - through all being henceforth holy, all being brought to the nearest whereof it is capable, to Him" (Trench).
Unto God and His Father (τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ)
Lit., to the God and Father of Him. Hence Rev., correctly, His God and Father. For the phrase compare Rom 15:6; Co2 1:3; Eph 1:3.
Glory and dominion (ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος)
Rev., correctly, rendering the two articles, "the glory and the dominion." The articles express universality: all glory; that which everywhere and under every form represents glory and dominion. The verb be (the glory) is not in the text. We may render either as an ascription, be, or as a confession, is. The glory is His. Δόξα glory means originally opinion or judgment. In this sense it is not used in Scripture. In the sacred writers always of a good or favorable opinion, and hence praise, honor, glory (Luk 14:10; Heb 3:3; Pe1 5:4). Applied to physical objects, as light, the heavenly bodies (Act 22:11; Co1 15:40). The visible brightness in manifestations of God (Luk 2:9; Act 7:55; Luk 9:32; Co2 3:7). Magnificence, dignity (Mat 4:8; Luk 4:6). Divine majesty or perfect excellence, especially in doxologies, either of God or Christ (Pe1 4:11; Jde 1:25; Rev 4:9, Rev 4:11; Mat 16:27; Mar 10:37; Mar 8:38; Luk 9:26; Co2 3:18; Co2 4:4). The glory or majesty of divine grace (Eph 1:6, Eph 1:12, Eph 1:14, Eph 1:18; Ti1 1:11). The majesty of angels (Luk 9:26; Jde 1:8; Pe2 2:10). The glorious condition of Christ after accomplishing His earthly work, and of the redeemed who share His eternal glory (Luk 24:26; Joh 17:5; Phi 3:21; Ti1 3:16; Rom 8:18, Rom 8:21; Rom 9:23; Co2 4:17; Col 1:27).
Trench remarks upon the prominence of the doxological element in the highest worship of the Church as contrasted with the very subordinate place which it often occupies in ours. "We can perhaps make our requests known unto God, and this is well, for it is prayer; but to give glory to God, quite apart from anything to be directly gotten by ourselves in return, this is better, for it is adoration." Dr. John Brown in his Memoir of his father, one of the very finest biographical sketches in English literature, records a formula used by him in closing his prayers on specially solemn occasions: "And now unto Thee, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the one Jehovah and our God, we would - as is most meet - with the Church on earth and the Church in heaven, ascribe all honor and glory, dominion and majesty, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen" ("Horae Subsecivae"). Compare the doxologies in Pe1 4:11; Gal 1:5; Rev 4:9, Rev 4:11; Rev 5:13; Rev 7:12; Jde 1:25; Ch1 29:11.
Forever and ever (εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων)
Lit., unto the ages of the ages. For the phrase compare Gal 1:5; Heb 13:21; Pe1 4:11. It occurs twelve times in Revelation, but not in John's Gospel or Epistles. It is the formula of eternity.
Amen (ἀμὴν)
The English word is a transcription of the Greek and of the Hebrew. A verbal adjective, meaning firm, faithful. Hence ὁ ἀμὴν, the Amen, applied to Christ (Rev 3:14). It passes into an adverbial sense by which something is asserted or confirmed. Thus often used by Christ, verily. John alone uses the double affirmation, verily, verily. See on Joh 1:51; see on Joh 10:1. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
To him that loveth us, and, out of that free, abundant love, hath washed us from the guilt and power of our sins with his own blood, and hath made us kings - Partakers of his present, and heirs of his eternal, kingdom. And priests unto his God and Father - To whom we continually offer ourselves, an holy, living sacrifice. To him be the glory - For his love and redemption. And the might - Whereby he governs all things. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Kings and priests - See on Pe1 2:5 (note), Pe1 2:9 (note). But instead of βασιλεις και ἱερεις, kings and priests the most reputable MSS., versions, and fathers have βασιλειαν ἱερεις, a kingdom and priests; i.e. a kingdom of priests, or a royal priesthood. The regal and sacerdotal dignities are the two highest that can possibly exist among men; and these two are here mentioned to show the glorious prerogatives and state of the children of God.
To him be glory - That is, to Christ; for it is of him that the prophet speaks, and of none other.
For ever and ever - Εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· To ages of ages; or rather, through all indefinite periods; through all time, and through eternity.
Amen - A word of affirmation and approbation; so it shall be, and so it ought to be. |

12 Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
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].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
18 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over both the Cherethites [03774] and the Pelethites [06432]; and David's [01732] sons [01121] were chief rulers [03548].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
15 Therefore [1223] [5124] are they [1526] before [1799] the throne [2362] of God [2316], and [2532] serve [3000] him [846] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485]: and [2532] he that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] shall dwell [4637] among [1909] them [846].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
5 And [2532] from [575] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who is the faithful [4103] witness [3144], and the first begotten [4416] of [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] the prince [758] of the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. Unto him that loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] washed [3068] us [2248] from [575] our [2257] sins [266] in [1722] his own [846] blood [129],
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
1 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that entereth [1525] not [3361] by [1223] the door [2374] into [1519] the sheepfold [4263] [833], but [235] climbeth up [305] some other way [237], the same [1565] is [2076] a thief [2812] and [2532] a robber [3027].
51 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] ye shall see [3700] heaven [3772] open [455], and [2532] the angels [32] of God [2316] ascending [305] and [2532] descending [2597] upon [1909] the Son [5207] of man [444].
14 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Amen [281], the faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228] witness [3144], the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] of God [2316];
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
21 Make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] work [2041] to [1519] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], working [4160] in [1722] you [5213] that which is wellpleasing [2101] in his [846] sight [1799], through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; to whom [3739] 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].
11 Thine, O LORD [03068], is the greatness [01420], and the power [01369], and the glory [08597], and the victory [05331], and the majesty [01935]: for all that is in the heaven [08064] and in the earth [0776] is thine; thine is the kingdom [04467], O LORD [03068], and thou art exalted [04984] as head [07218] above all.
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
12 Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
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].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
27 To whom [3739] God [2316] would [2309] make known [1107] what [5101] is the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of this [5127] mystery [3466] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484]; which [3739] is [2076] Christ [5547] in [1722] you [5213], the hope [1680] of glory [1391]:
17 For [1063] our [2257] light [1645] affliction [2347], which [3588] is but for a moment [3910], worketh [2716] for us [2254] a far [2596] [5236] more exceeding [1519] [5236] and eternal [166] weight [922] of glory [1391];
23 And [2532] that [2443] he might make known [1107] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391] on [1909] the vessels [4632] of mercy [1656], which [3739] he had afore prepared [4282] unto [1519] glory [1391],
21 Because [3754] the creature [2937] itself [846] also [2532] shall be delivered [1659] from [575] the bondage [1397] of corruption [5356] into [1519] the glorious [1391] liberty [1657] of the children [5043] of God [2316].
18 For [1063] I reckon [3049] that [3754] the sufferings [3804] of this present [3568] time [2540] are not [3756] worthy [514] to be compared with [4314] the glory [1391] which shall [3195] be revealed [601] in [1519] us [2248].
16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391].
21 Who [3739] shall change [3345] our [2257] vile [5014] body [4983], that [1519] it [846] may be [1096] fashioned like unto [4832] his [846] glorious [1391] body [4983], according to [2596] the working [1753] whereby he [846] is able [1410] even [2532] to subdue [5293] all things [3956] unto himself [1438].
5 And [2532] now [3568], O Father [3962], glorify [1392] thou [4771] me [3165] with [3844] thine own self [4572] with the glory [1391] which [3739] I had [2192] with [3844] thee [4671] before [4253] the world [2889] was [1511].
26 Ought [1163] not [3780] Christ [5547] to have suffered [3958] these things [5023], and [2532] to enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] glory [1391]?
10 But [1161] chiefly [3122] them that walk [4198] after [3694] the flesh [4561] in [1722] the lust [1939] of uncleanness [3394], and [2532] despise [2706] government [2963]. Presumptuous [5113] are they, selfwilled [829], they are not [3756] afraid [5141] to speak evil [987] of dignities [1391].
8 Likewise [3668] [3305] also [2532] these [3778] filthy dreamers [1797] defile [3392] the flesh [3303] [4561], [1161] despise [114] dominion [2963], and [1161] speak evil [987] of dignities [1391].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
11 According [2596] to the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of the blessed [3107] God [2316], which [3739] was committed to [4100] my [1473] trust [4100].
18 The eyes [3788] of your [5216] understanding [1271] being enlightened [5461]; that [1519] ye [5209] may know [1492] what [5101] is [2076] the hope [1680] of his [846] calling [2821], and [2532] what [5101] the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of his [846] inheritance [2817] in [1722] the saints [40],
14 Which [3739] is [2076] the earnest [728] of our [2257] inheritance [2817] until [1519] the redemption [629] of the purchased possession [4047], unto [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391].
12 That [1519] we [2248] should be [1511] to [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391], who [3588] first trusted [4276] in [1722] Christ [5547].
6 To [1519] the praise [1868] of the glory [1391] of his [846] grace [5485], wherein [1722] [3739] he hath made [5487] us [2248] accepted [5487] in [1722] the beloved [25].
4 In [1722] whom [3739] the god [2316] of this [5127] world [165] hath blinded [5186] the minds [3540] of them which believe not [571], lest [1519] [3361] the light [5462] of the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], who [3739] is [2076] the image [1504] of God [2316], should shine [826] unto them [846].
18 But [1161] we [2249] all [3956], with open [343] face [4383] beholding as in a glass [2734] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962], are changed [3339] into the same [846] image [1504] from [575] glory [1391] to [1519] glory [1391], even as [2509] by [575] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
38 Whosoever [3739] [302] therefore [1063] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056] in [1722] this [5026] adulterous [3428] and [2532] sinful [268] generation [1074]; of him [846] also [2532] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he cometh [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] the holy [40] angels [32].
37 [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Grant [1325] unto us [2254] that [2443] we may sit [2523], one [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] right hand [1188], and [2532] the other [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] left hand [2176], in [1722] thy [4675] glory [1391].
27 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall [3195] come [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] his [846] angels [32]; and [2532] then [5119] he shall reward [591] every man [1538] according [2596] to his [846] works [4234].
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].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
6 And [2532] the devil [1228] said [2036] unto him [846], All [537] this [5026] power [1849] will I give [1325] thee [4671], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846]: for [3754] that is delivered [3860] unto me [1698]; and [2532] to [3739] whomsoever [1437] I will [2309] I give [1325] it [846].
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];
7 But [1161] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of death [2288], written [1722] [1121] and engraven [1795] in [1722] stones [3037], was [1096] glorious [1722] [1391], so [5620] that the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [1410] not [3361] stedfastly behold [816] the face [1519] [4383] of Moses [3475] for [1223] the glory [1391] of his [846] countenance [4383]; which [3588] glory was to be done away [2673]:
32 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846] were [2258] heavy [916] with sleep [5258]: and [1161] when they were awake [1235], they saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] the two [1417] men [435] that stood with [4921] him [846].
55 But [1161] he, being [5225] full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], looked up stedfastly [816] into [1519] heaven [3772], and saw [1492] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] standing [2476] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of God [2316],
9 And [2532], lo [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] came upon [2186] them [846], and [2532] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962] shone round about [4034] them [846]: and [2532] they were sore [3173] afraid [5399] [5401].
40 There are also [2532] celestial [2032] bodies [4983], and [2532] bodies [4983] terrestrial [1919]: but [235] [3303] the glory [1391] of the celestial [2032] is one [2087], and [1161] the glory of the terrestrial [1919] is another [2087].
11 And [1161] when [5613] I could [1689] not [3756] see [1689] for [575] the glory [1391] of that [1565] light [5457], being led by the hand [5496] of [5259] them that were [4895] with me [3427], I came [2064] into [1519] Damascus [1154].
4 And [2532] when the chief Shepherd [750] shall appear [5319], ye shall receive [2865] a crown [4735] of glory [1391] that fadeth not away [262].
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].
10 But [235] when [3752] thou art bidden [2564], go [4198] and sit down [377] in [1519] the lowest [2078] room [5117]; that [2443] when [3752] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] cometh [2064], he may say [2036] unto thee [4671], Friend [5384], go up [4320] higher [511]: then [5119] shalt thou [4671] have [2071] worship [1391] in the presence [1799] of them that sit at meat [4873] with thee [4671].
3 Blessed [2128] be the God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] hath blessed [2127] us [2248] with [1722] all [3956] spiritual [4152] blessings [2129] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547]:
3 Blessed [2128] be God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Father [3962] of mercies [3628], and [2532] the God [2316] of all [3956] comfort [3874];
6 That [2443] ye may [1392] with one mind [3661] and [1722] one [1520] mouth [4750] glorify [1392] God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
21 Yea, every pot [05518] in Jerusalem [03389] and in Judah [03063] shall be holiness [06944] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: and all they that sacrifice [02076] shall come [0935] and take [03947] of them, and seethe [01310] therein: and in that day [03117] there shall be no more the Canaanite [03669] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
20 In that day [03117] shall there be upon the bells [04698] of the horses [05483], HOLINESS [06944] UNTO THE LORD [03068]; and the pots [05518] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall be like the bowls [04219] before [06440] the altar [04196].
22 And [2532] I saw [1492] no [3756] temple [3485] therein [1722] [846]: for [1063] the Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841] and [2532] the Lamb [721] are [2076] the temple [3485] of it [846].
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147].
4 Thou hast given [05414] a banner [05251] to them that fear [03373] thee, that it may be displayed [05127] because [06440] of the truth [07189]. Selah [05542].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
22 Until [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118] came [0858] [01768], and judgment [01780] was given [03052] to the saints [06922] of the most High [05946]; and the time [02166] came [04291] that the saints [06922] possessed [02631] the kingdom [04437].
18 But the saints [06922] of the most High [05946] shall take [06902] the kingdom [04437], and possess [02631] the kingdom [04437] for [05705] ever [05957], even for [05705] ever [05957] and ever [05957].
5 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]; and [2532] they need [5532] no [3756] candle [3088] [2192], neither [2532] light [5457] of the sun [2246]; for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] giveth [5461] them [846] light [5461]: and [2532] they shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
6 Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
