Now ^G1161 He also ^G2532 told ^G3004 this ^G3778 parable ^G3850 to some ^G5100 people ^G5100 who trusted ^G3982 in themselves ^G1438 that they were righteous ^G1342, and viewed ^G1848 others ^G3062 with ^G1848 contempt ^G1848:

They followed ^G3982 his advice ^G3982; and after calling ^G4341 the apostles ^G652 in, they flogged ^G1194 them and ordered ^G3853 them not to [fn]speak ^G2980 in the name ^G3686 of Jesus ^G2424, and then released ^G630 them.

Now ^G1161 he was very ^G2371 angry ^G2371 with the people of Tyre ^G5183 and Sidon ^G4606; and with one ^G3661 mind ^G3661 they came ^G3918 to him, and having won ^G3982 over ^G3982 Blastus ^G986 the king’s ^G935 chamberlain ^G1909 G2846, they were asking ^G154 for peace ^G1515, because ^G1223 their country ^G5561 was supported ^G5142 with grain from the king’s ^G937 country.

But Jews ^G2453 came ^G1904 from Antioch ^G490 and Iconium ^G2430, and having won ^G3982 over ^G3982 the crowds ^G3793, they stoned ^G3034 Paul ^G3972 and dragged ^G4951 him out of the city ^G4172, thinking ^G3543 that he was dead ^G2348.

And he entered ^G1525 the synagogue ^G4864 and continued speaking ^G3955 out ^G3955 boldly ^G3955 for three ^G5140 months ^G3376, having ^G1256 discussions ^G1256 and persuading ^G3982 them about ^G4012 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316.

When they had set ^G5021 a day ^G2250 for [fn]Paul, people came ^G2064 to him at his lodging ^G3578 in large ^G4183 numbers ^G4183; and he was explaining ^G1620 to them by solemnly ^G1263 testifying ^G1263 about the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 and trying to persuade ^G3982 them concerning ^G4012 Jesus ^G2424, from both ^G5037 the Law ^G3551 of Moses ^G3475 and from the Prophets ^G4396, from morning ^G4404 until ^G2193 evening ^G2073.

And concerning ^G4012 you, my brothers ^G80 and sisters, I myself ^G846 also ^G2532 am convinced ^G3982 that you yourselves ^G846 are full ^G3324 of goodness ^G19, filled ^G4137 with all ^G3956 knowledge ^G1108 and able ^G1410 also ^G2532 to admonish ^G3560 one ^G240 another ^G240.

Therefore ^G3767, knowing ^G6063 the fear ^G5401 of the Lord ^G2962, we persuade ^G3982 people ^G444, but we are well ^G5319 known ^G5319 to God ^G2316; and I hope ^G1679 that we are also ^G2532 well ^G5319 known ^G5319 in your consciences ^G4893.

[fn]You are looking ^G991 at [fn]things as they are outwardly ^G2596 G4383. If ^G1487 anyone ^G5100 is confident ^G3982 in himself ^G1438 that he is Christ’s ^G5547, have him consider ^G3049 this ^G3778 again ^G3825 within ^G1909 himself ^G1438, that just ^G2531 as ^G2531 he is Christ’s ^G5547, so ^G3779 too ^G2532 are we.

For am I now ^G737 seeking ^G3982 the ^G3982 favor ^G3982 of ^G3982 people ^G444, or ^G2228 of God ^G2316? Or ^G2228 am I striving ^G2212 to please ^G700 people ^G444? If ^G1487 I were still ^G2089 trying to please ^G700 people ^G444, I would not be a bond-servant ^G1401 of Christ ^G5547.

You were running ^G5143 well ^G2573; who ^G5101 hindered ^G1465 you from obeying ^G3982 the truth ^G225?

Having ^G3982 confidence ^G3982 in your obedience ^G5218, I write ^G1125 to you, since I know ^G6063 that you will do ^G4160 even ^G2532 more ^G5228 than ^G5228 what ^G3739 I say ^G3004.

And again ^G3825,

“I WILL PUT ^G3982 MY TRUST ^G3982 IN HIM.”

And again ^G3825,

“BEHOLD ^G2400, I AND THE CHILDREN ^G3813 WHOM ^G3739 GOD ^G2316 HAS GIVEN ^G1325 ME.”

But, beloved ^G27, we are convinced ^G3982 of better ^G2909 things ^G2909 regarding ^G4012 you, and things that [fn]accompany ^G2192 salvation ^G4991, even ^G2532 though ^G1487 we are speaking ^G2980 in ^G3779 this ^G3779 way ^G3779.

Obey ^G3982 your leaders ^G2233 and submit ^G5226 to them—for they keep ^G69 watch ^G69 over ^G5228 your souls ^G5590 as those who will give ^G591 an account ^G3056—so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they may do ^G4160 this ^G3778 with joy ^G5479, not [fn]groaning ^G4727; for this ^G3778 would be unhelpful ^G255 for you.
