TSK · Acts 20:28

Remember^H2142 thy congregation,^H5712 which thou hast gotten^H7069 of old,^H6924 Which^H7626 thou hast redeemed^H1350 to be the tribe of thine inheritance;^H5159 [And] mount^H2022 Zion,^H6726 wherein thou hast dwelt.^H7931

The lips^H8193 of the righteous^H6662 feed^H7462 many;^H7227 But the foolish^H191 die^H4191 for lack^H2638 of understanding.^H3820

He will feed^H7462 his flock^H5739 like a shepherd,^H7462 he will gather^H6908 the lambs^H2922 in his arm,^H2220 and carry^H5375 them in his bosom,^H2436 [and] will gently lead^H5095 those that have their young.^H5763

Then he remembered^H2142 the days^H3117 of old,^H5769 Moses^H4872 [and] his people,^H5971 [saying], Where is he that brought them up^H5927 out of the sea^H3220 with the shepherds^H7462 of his flock?^H6629 where is he that put^H7760 his holy^H6944 Spirit^H7307 in the midst^H7130 of them?

But if ye will not hear^H8085 it, my soul^H5315 shall weep^H1058 in secret^H4565 for^H6440 your pride;^H1466 and mine eye^H5869 shall weep^H1830 sore,^H1830 and run down^H3381 with tears,^H1832 because Jehovah's^H3068 flock^H5739 is taken captive.^H7617

Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of Jehovah,^H3068 O ye nations,^H1471 and declare^H5046 it in the isles^H339 afar off;^H4801 and say,^H559 He that scattered^H2219 Israel^H3478 will gather^H6908 him, and keep^H8104 him, as a shepherd^H7462 doth his flock.^H5739

And ye^H859 my sheep,^H6629 the sheep^H6629 of my pasture,^H4830 are men,^H120 and I am your God,^H430 saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 Jehovah.^H3069

Feed^H7462 thy people^H5971 with thy rod,^H7626 the flock^H6629 of thy heritage,^H5159 which dwell^H7931 solitarily,^H910 in the forest^H3293 in the midst^H8432 of Carmel:^H3760 let them feed^H7462 in Bashan^H1316 and Gilead,^H1568 as in the days^H3117 of old.^H5769

And^G2532 thou^G4771 Bethlehem,^G965 land^G1093 of Judah,^G2448 art^G1488 in no^G3760 wise least^G1646 among^G1722 the princes^G2232 of^G1537 Judah:^G2448 for^G1063 out of^G1537 thee^G4675 shall come^G1831 forth a governor,^G2233 who shall be shepherd^G4165 of my^G3450 people^G2992 Israel.^G2474

But^G1161 take ye^G5210 heed^G991 to yourselves:^G1438 for^G1063 they shall deliver^G3860 you^G5209 up^G3860 to^G1519 councils;^G4892 and^G2532 in^G1519 synagogues^G4864 shall ye be beaten;^G1194 and^{G2532 G2476} before^G1909 governors^G2232 and^G2532 kings^G935 shall ye stand for^G1752 my sake,^G1700 for^G1519 a testimony^G3142 unto them.^G846

But^G1161 take heed to^G4337 yourselves,^G1438 lest haply^G3379 your^G5216 hearts^G2588 be overcharged^G925 with^G1722 surfeiting,^G2897 and^G2532 drunkenness,^G3178 and^G2532 cares^G3308 of this life,^G982 and^G2532 that^G1565 day^G2250 come^G2186 on^G1909 you^G5209 suddenly as a snare:^G160

And as^G1161 they^G846 ministered^G3008 to the Lord,^G2962 and^G2532 fasted,^G3522 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 said,^G2036 Separate^G873 me^G3427 Barnabas^G921 and^G2532 Saul^G4569 for^G1519 the work^G2041 whereunto^G3739 I have called^G4341 them.^G5037

And^G1161 from^G575 Miletus^G3399 he sent^G3992 to^G1519 Ephesus,^G2181 and called^G3333 to him the elders^G4245 of the church.^G1577

unto the church^G1577 of God^G2316 which is^G5607 at^G1722 Corinth,^G2882 [even] them that are sanctified^G37 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus,^G2424 called^G2822 [to be] saints,^G40 with^G4862 all^G3956 that call upon^G1941 the name^G3686 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 in^G1722 every^G3956 place,^{G5117 G5037} their^G846 [Lord] and^G2532 ours:^G2257

Give^G1096 no occasions of stumbling,^G677 either^G2532 to Jews,^G2453 or^G2532 to Greeks,^G1672 or^G2532 to the church^G1577 of God:^G2316

For^G1063 to one^{G3739 G3303} is given^G1325 through^G1223 the Spirit^G4151 the word^G3056 of wisdom;^G1161 and to another^G243 the word^G3056 of knowledge,^G1108 according^G2596 to the same^G846 Spirit:^G4151

For^G1063 I^G1473 am^G1510 the least^G1646 of the apostles,^G652 that^G3739 am^G1510 not^G3756 meet^G2425 to be called^G2564 an apostle,^G652 because^G1360 I persecuted^G1377 the church^G1577 of God.^G2316

in^G1722 whom^G3739 we have^G2192 our redemption^G629 through^G1223 his^G846 blood,^G129 the forgiveness^G859 of our trespasses,^G3900 according^G2596 to the riches^G4149 of his^G846 grace,^G5485

And^G2532 he^G846 gave^G1325 some^G3303 [to be] apostles;^G652 and^G1161 some,^G3588 prophets;^G4396 and^G1161 some,^G3588 evangelists;^G2099 and^G1161 some,^G3588 pastors^G4166 and^G2532 teachers;^G1320

in^G1722 whom^G3739 we have^G2192 our redemption,^G629 the forgiveness^G859 of our sins:^G266

The bishop^G1985 therefore^G3767 must^G1163 be^G1511 without reproach,^G423 the husband^G435 of one^G1520 wife,^G1135 temperate,^G3524 sober-minded,^G4998 orderly,^G2887 given to hospitality,^G5382 apt to teach;^G1317

but^G1161 if^G1437 I tarry long,^G1019 that^G2443 thou mayest know^G1492 how^G4459 men ought^G1163 to behave themselves^G390 in^G1722 the house^G3624 of God,^G2316 which^G3748 is^G2076 the church^G1577 of the living^G2198 God,^G2316 the pillar^G4769 and^G2532 ground^G1477 of the truth.^G225

Take heed to^G1907 thyself,^G4572 and^G2532 to thy teaching.^G1319 Continue in^G1961 these things;^G846 for^G1063 in doing^G4160 this^G5124 thou shalt^G4982 save^G4982 both^G2532 thyself^G4572 and^G2532 them that hear^G191 thee.^G4675

For^G1063 the bishop^G1985 must^G1163 be^G1511 blameless,^G410 as^G5613 God's^G2316 steward;^G3623 not^G3361 self-willed,^G829 not^G3361 soon angry,^G3711 no^G3361 brawler,^G3943 no^G3361 striker,^G4131 not^G3361 greedy of filthy lucre;^G146

looking carefully^G1983 lest^G3361 [there be] any man^G5100 that falleth^G5302 short of^G575 the grace^G5485 of God;^G2316 lest^G3361 any^G5100 root^G4491 of bitterness^G4088 springing^G5453 up^G507 trouble^G1776 [you], and^G2532 thereby^{G3778 G1223} the many^G4183 be defiled;^G3392

knowing^G1492 that^G3754 ye were^G3084 redeemed,^G3084 not^G3756 with corruptible things,^G5349 with silver^G694 or^G2228 gold,^G5553 from^G1537 your^G5216 vain^G3152 manner of life^G391 handed down from your fathers;^G3970

For^G1063 ye were^G2258 going astray^G4105 like^G5613 sheep;^G4263 but^G235 are^G1994 now^G3568 returned^G1994 unto^G1909 the Shepherd^G4166 and^G2532 Bishop^G1985 of your^G5216 souls.^G5590

but^G1161 if^G1437 we walk^G4043 in^G1722 the light,^G5457 as^G5613 he^G846 is^G2076 in^G1722 the light,^G5457 we have^G2192 fellowship^G2842 one^G240 with^G3326 another,^G240 and^G2532 the blood^G129 of Jesus^{G2424 G5547} his^G846 Son^G5207 cleanseth^G2511 us^G2248 from^G575 all^G3956 sin.^G266
