|
10. But G1161 the G3588 God G2316 of all G3956 grace G5485 , who hath called G2564 us G2248 unto G1519 his G848 eternal G166 glory G1391 by G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 , after that ye have suffered G3958 a while G3641 , make you perfect G2675 G5209 , establish G4741 , strengthen G4599 , settle G2311 you.
