gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > of God <2316 - theos - > .

theos - > which ye heard <0189 - akoe - > of us , ye received

<1209 - dechomai - > [ it ] not [ as ] the word <3056 -

<0230 - alethos - > , the word <3056 - logos - > of God <2316 -

theos - > , which <3739 - hos - > effectually <1754 - energeo -

Judaea <2449 - Ioudaia - > are in Christ <5547 - Christos - >

Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > : for ye also <2532 - kai - > have

contrary <1727 - enantios - > to all <3956 - pas - > men <0444 -
