But when G3752 you are bidden, G2564 go G4198 and sit G377 down G377 in the lowest G2078 room; G5117 that when G3752 he that bade G2564 you comes, G2064 he may say G2036 to you, Friend, G5384 go G4320 up higher: G511 then G5119 shall you have G2071 worship G1391 in the presence G1799 of them that sit G4873 at G4873 meat with you.

For whoever G3956 G3588 exalts G5312 himself G1438 shall be abased; G5013 and he that humbles G5013 himself G1438 shall be exalted. G5312

Even G1161 the righteousness G1343 of God G2316 which is by faith G4102 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to all G3956 and on all G3956 them that believe: G4100 for there is no G3756 difference: G1293

Being justified G1344 freely G1432 by his grace G5485 through G1223 the redemption G629 that is in Christ G5547 Jesus: G2424

That the Gentiles G1484 should be fellow heirs, G4789 and of the same G4954 body, G4954 and partakers G4830 of his promise G1860 in Christ G5547 by the gospel: G2098

Yet they seek H1875 me daily, H3117 and delight H2654 to know H1847 my ways, H1870 as a nation H1471 that did H6213 righteousness, H6666 and forsook H5800 not the ordinance H4941 of their God: H430 they ask H7592 of me the ordinances H4941 of justice; H6664 they take delight H2654 in approaching H7132 to God. H430

Why H4100 have we fasted, H6684 say they, and you see H7200 not? why have we afflicted H6031 our soul, H5315 and you take no H3808 knowledge? H3045 Behold, H2005 in the day H3117 of your fast H6685 you find H4672 pleasure, H2656 and exact H5065 all H3605 your labors. H6092

And to speak H559 to the priests H3548 which H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and to the prophets, H5030 saying, H559 Should I weep H1058 in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 separating H5144 myself, as I have done H6213 these H2088 so many years? H8141

Speak H559 to all H3605 the people H5971 of the land, H776 and to the priests, H3548 saying, H559 When H3588 you fasted H6684 and mourned H5594 in the fifth H2549 and seventh H7637 month, even those H2088 seventy H7657 years, H8141 did you at all fast H6684 to me, even to me?

You said H559 also, Behold, H2009 what a weariness H4972 is it! and you have snuffed H5301 at it, said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 and you brought H935 that which was torn, H1497 and the lame, H6455 and the sick; H2470 thus H3541 you brought H935 an offering: H4503 should I accept H7521 this of your hand? H3027 said H559 the LORD. H3068

You have said, H559 It is vain H7723 to serve H5647 God: H430 and what H4100 profit H1215 is it that we have kept H8104 his ordinance, H4931 and that we have walked H1980 mournfully H6941 before H6440 the LORD H3068 of hosts? H6635

And he answering G611 said G2036 to his father, G3962 See, G2400 these G5118 many G5118 years G2094 do I serve G1398 you, neither G3763 transgressed G3928 I at G3763 any G3763 time your commandment: G1785 and yet you never G3763 gave G1325 me a kid, G2056 that I might make G2165 merry G2165 with my friends: G5384

But as soon G3753 as this G3778 your son G5207 was come, G2064 which G3588 has devoured G2719 your living G979 with harlots, G4204 you have killed G2380 for him the fatted G4618 calf. G3448

The Pharisee G5330 stood G2476 and prayed G4336 thus G5023 with himself, G1438 God, G2316 I thank G2168 you, that I am G1510 not as other G3062 men G444 are, extortionists, G727 unjust, G94 adulterers, G3432 or G2228 even G2532 as this G3778 publican. G5057

I fast G3522 twice G1364 in the week, G4521 I give tithes G586 of all G3956 that I possess. G2932

Where G4226 is boasting G2746 then? G3767 It is excluded. G1576 By what G4169 law? G3551 of works? G2041 No: G3780 but by the law G3551 of faith. G4102

What G5101 shall we say G2046 then? G3767 That the Gentiles, G1484 which G3588 followed G1377 not after righteousness, G1343 have attained G2638 to righteousness, G1343 even G1161 the righteousness G1343 which G3588 is of faith. G4102

Why? G1302 Because G3754 they sought G2212 it not by faith, G4102 but as it were by the works G2041 of the law. G3551 For they stumbled G4350 at that stumbling stone; G3037

Brothers, G80 my heart's G2588 desire G2107 and prayer G1162 to God G2316 for Israel G2474 is, that they might be saved. G4991

For they being ignorant G50 of God's G2316 righteousness, G1343 and going G2212 about G2212 to establish G2476 their own G2398 righteousness, G1343 have G2192 not submitted G5293 themselves to the righteousness G1343 of God. G2316

Even G2532 so G3779 then G3767 at G1722 this G3588 present G3568 time G2540 also G2532 there is a remnant G3005 according G2596 to the election G1589 of grace. G5485

And if G1487 by grace, G5485 then is it no G3765 more G2089 of works: G2041 otherwise G1893 grace G5485 is no G3765 more G2089 grace. G5485 But if G1487 it be of works, G2041 then it is no G3765 more G2089 grace: G5485 otherwise G1893 work G2041 is no G3765 more G2089 work. G2041

Even to this G3588 present G737 hour G5610 we both G2532 hunger, G3983 and thirst, G1372 and are naked, G1130 and are buffeted, G2852 and have no G790 certain G790 dwelling place; G790

Are they ministers G1249 of Christ? G5547 (I speak G2980 as a fool) G3912 I am more; G5228 in labors G2873 more G4056 abundant, G4056 in stripes G4127 above G5234 measure, G5234 in prisons G5438 more G4056 frequent, G4056 in deaths G2288 oft. G4178

Thrice G5151 was I beaten G4463 with rods, G4463 once G530 was I stoned, G3034 thrice G5151 I suffered shipwreck, G3489 a night G3574 and a day G3574 I have been G4160 in the deep; G1037

In weariness G2873 and painfulness, G3449 in watchings G70 often, G3740 in hunger G3042 and thirst, G1373 in fastings G3521 often, G3740 in cold G5592 and nakedness. G1132
