32 Give G1096 none offence, G677 neither G2532 to the Jews, G2453 nor G2532 to the Gentiles, G1672 nor G2532 to the church G1577 of God: G2316
Take heed G4337 therefore G3767 unto yourselves, G1438 and G2532 to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 hath made G5087 you G5209 overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he hath purchased G4046 with G1223 his own G2398 blood. G129
What? G1063 have ye G2192 not G3378 houses G3614 to eat G2068 and G2532 to drink G4095 in? G1519 or G2228 despise ye G2706 the church G1577 of God, G2316 and G2532 shame G2617 them that have G2192 not? G3361 What G5101 shall I say G2036 to you? G5213 shall I praise G1867 you G5209 in G1722 this? G5129 I praise G1867 you not. G3756
But G1161 if G1437 I tarry long, G1019 that G2443 thou mayest know G1492 how G4459 thou oughtest G1163 to behave thyself 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
