G1125–γράφω–graphō

In my letter I said to you that you were not to keep company with those who go after the desires of the flesh;

Ἔγραψα Egrapsa “I wrote”

But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force

ἔγραψα egrapsa “I wrote”

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

ἐγράψατε egrapsate “you wrote”

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

γέγραπται· gegraptai “it has been written:”

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

ἐγράφη egraphē “it was written”

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

ἔγραψα egrapsa “have I written”

Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

γέγραπται· gegraptai “it has been written:”

Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

ἐγράφη egraphē “were written”

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

γέγραπται gegraptai “it has been written”

If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

γράφω graphō “I write”

And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

γέγραπται· gegraptai “it has been written:”

But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

γεγραμμένος· gegrammenos “written:”

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. So be it.

ἐγράφη egraphē “it was written”

For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

γράφομεν graphomen “we write”

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

ἔγραψα egrapsa “I wrote”

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

ἔγραψα egrapsa “I wrote”

And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

ἔγραψα, egrapsa “did I write,”

But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

γεγραμμένον· gegrammenon “written:”

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

ἔγραψα egrapsa “I wrote”

As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.

γέγραπται· gegraptai “it has been written:”

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

γράφειν graphein “to write”

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

γέγραπται· gegraptai “it has been written:”

I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

γράφω, graphō “I am writing”

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

γράφω, graphō “I write,”

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
