(6) Â Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
(12) Â And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(13) Â And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(14) Â And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(15) Â And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
(4) Â And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
(5) Â But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
(6) Â Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
(10) Â And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
(11) Â And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
(12) Â And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(13) Â And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(14) Â And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(15) Â And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
(41) Â Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
(19) Â There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
(20) Â And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
(21) Â And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
(22) Â And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
(23) Â And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(24) Â And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
(25) Â But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
(26) Â And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
(27) Â Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
(28) Â For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
(29) Â Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
(30) Â And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
(31) Â And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
(1) Â And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
(2) Â In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
(3) Â And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
(4) Â And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
(5) Â And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
(6) Â And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
(7) Â Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
(8) Â And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
(9) Â Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
(10) Â And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
(11) Â He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
(12) Â And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
(13) Â I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
(14) Â Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(15) Â For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
(16) Â I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
(17) Â And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
(18) Â For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
(19) Â And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
(20) Â He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
(21) Â The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
(1) Â And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
(2) Â And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(3) Â And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
(4) Â And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
(5) Â And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
(6) Â And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
(7) Â He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
(8) Â But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
(9) Â And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
(10) Â And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
(11) Â Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
(12) Â And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
(13) Â On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
(14) Â And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
(15) Â And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
(16) Â And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
(17) Â And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
(18) Â And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
(19) Â And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
(20) Â The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
(21) Â And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
(22) Â And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
(23) Â And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
(24) Â And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
(25) Â And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
(26) Â And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
(27) Â And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
(17) Â Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(51) Â Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) Â In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(53) Â For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(54) Â So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
(55) Â O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
(56) Â The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
(57) Â But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(58) Â Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
(1) Â Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
(2) Â In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
(3) Â And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
(11) Â And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
(12) Â And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(13) Â And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
(14) Â And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
(15) Â And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
(10) Â For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
(31) Â When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
(32) Â And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
(33) Â And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
(34) Â Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
(35) Â For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
(36) Â Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
(37) Â Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
(38) Â When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
(39) Â Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
(40) Â And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
(41) Â Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
(42) Â For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
(43) Â I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
(44) Â Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
(45) Â Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
(46) Â And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
(20) Â But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
(21) Â For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
(22) Â For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(23) Â But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
(24) Â Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
(25) Â For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
(26) Â The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
(27) Â For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
(28) Â And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
(24) Â Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
(25) Â Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
(26) Â For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
(27) Â And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
(28) Â Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) Â And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
(20) Â He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
(13) Â But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
(14) Â For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
(15) Â For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
(16) Â For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(17) Â Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(18) Â And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
(19) Â But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
(20) Â For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
(1) Â I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
(2) Â For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
(13) Â Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
(17) Â Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
(1) Â Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
(2) Â Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(3) Â For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
(4) Â For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
(5) Â Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
(6) Â For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
(7) Â Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
(21) Â They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
(18) Â Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(25) Â But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
(26) Â But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
(27) Â And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
(28) Â Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
(19) Â They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
(10) Â But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
(15) Â Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
(16) Â For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
(8) Â I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
(17) Â And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
(18) Â Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(12) Â But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
(36) Â And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
(37) Â And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
(38) Â And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
(45) Â Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
(46) Â And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
(47) Â And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(8) Â But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
(9) Â And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
(10) Â Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
(11) Â But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
(12) Â And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
(15) Â Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
(16) Â For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
(17) Â Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
(18) Â But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
(17) Â Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
(18) Â For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
(17) Â Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
(6) Â And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
(1) Â Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
(1) Â The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
(2) Â Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
(3) Â Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
(4) Â And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
(1) Â This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
(2) Â A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
(3) Â Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
(4) Â One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(5) Â (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
(6) Â Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
(7) Â Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
(8) Â Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
(9) Â Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
(10) Â And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
(11) Â Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
(12) Â Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
(13) Â For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
(17) Â And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
(18) Â And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
(1) Â Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
(18) Â And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(19) Â Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(20) Â Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
(23) Â For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
(24) Â And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
(25) Â After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
(26) Â For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
(19) Â But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
(20) Â And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
(7) Â And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
(4) Â Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
(20) Â Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
(35) Â Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
(36) Â And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
(37) Â And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
(38) Â Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
(39) Â He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
(40) Â One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
(41) Â He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
(42) Â And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
(43) Â The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
(44) Â Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
(45) Â Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
(46) Â And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
(47) Â Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
(48) Â Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
(49) Â Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
(50) Â Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
(51) Â And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
(13) Â And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(14) Â But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
(15) Â And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
(16) Â And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
(17) Â But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
(18) Â And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
(19) Â For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
(18) Â And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(7) Â Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
(17) Â Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
(24) Â Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
(28) Â Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
(1) Â It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
(2) Â And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
(3) Â For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
(4) Â In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(5) Â To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
(1) Â And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
(2) Â Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
(3) Â Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
(4) Â But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
(5) Â And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
(6) Â Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
(20) Â To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
(18) Â And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
(23) Â For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
(41)Â Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
(7) Â And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
(5) Â And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
(41) Â Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
(42) Â And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
(5) Â Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
(3) Â Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
(4) Â To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
(5) Â Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(12) Â Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
(13) Â For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
(6) Â Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
(13) Â There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(28) Â And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
(10) Â For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
(4) Â Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(9) Â But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
(4) Â Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(17) Â Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(23) Â Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(1) Â Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
(3) Â Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(4) Â Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
(5) Â Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(35) Â Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
(36) Â As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
(37) Â Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
(38) Â For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
(39) Â Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(24) Â Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
(25) Â Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
(26) Â But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
(27) Â My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
(28) Â And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
(29) Â My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
(30) Â I and my Father are one.
(15) Â But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
(16) Â Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
(1) Â Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
(3) Â For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
(4) Â That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
(5) Â Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
(6) Â That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
(7) Â For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
(1) Â I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
(2) Â And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(5) Â And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
(6) Â And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
(7) Â And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
(8) Â For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(11) Â And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
(12) Â But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
(13) Â From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
(14) Â For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
(12) Â But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(13) Â Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(9) Â Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
(10) Â That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
(11) Â In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
(12) Â That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) Â In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
(14) Â Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
(4) Â But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
(5) Â Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
(6) Â And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
(18) Â He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(9) Â But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
(4) Â Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
(5) Â For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
(6) Â Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
(1) Â My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
(2) Â And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
(16) Â For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(29) Â The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
(17) Â So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(47) Â And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(30) Â And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
(31) Â And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
(32) Â And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
(9) Â Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(5) Â Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(24) Â Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
(25) Â Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
(26) Â To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
(20) Â Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
(21) Â But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
(22) Â Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
(8) Â For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
(9) Â Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(21) Â And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
(9) Â The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
(10) Â As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(11) Â There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
(12) Â They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(13) Â Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
(14) Â Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
(15) Â Their feet are swift to shed blood:
(16) Â Destruction and misery are in their ways:
(17) Â And the way of peace have they not known:
(18) Â There is no fear of God before their eyes.
(19) Â Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
(22) Â Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth
(23) Â For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(13) Â Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(1) Â And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
(2) Â Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
(3) Â Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
(9) Â Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
(12) Â Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(17) Â But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(26) Â And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
(1) Â And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
(2) Â And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
(3) Â And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
(4) Â And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
(5) Â But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
(6) Â Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
(7) Â And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
(8) Â And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
(9) Â And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
(10) Â And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
(15) Â And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
(8) Â Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(11) Â Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(3) Â But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) Â In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(44) Â Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(28) Â And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
(29) Â Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
(30) Â But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
(31) Â Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows
(27) Â So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
(7) Â And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
(1) Â O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
(2) Â Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
(3) Â When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
(4) Â What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
(5) Â For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
(6) Â Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
(7) Â All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
(8) Â The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
(9) Â O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
(6) Â And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
(20) Â Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
(29) Â Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
(30) Â For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
(35) Â But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
(36) Â Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
(16) Â For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(2) Â The same was in the beginning with God.
(3) Â All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(11) Â Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
(9) Â Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
(10) Â If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
(11) Â For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
(8) Â But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
(9) Â As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
(48) Â He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
(12) Â For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(16) Â All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) Â That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(13) Â Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(21) Â For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(10) Â As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
(11) Â If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
(16) Â And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
(17) Â Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
(20) Â At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
(23) Â Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
(32) Â And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
(12) Â I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
(13)Â Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(14) Â He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
(15) Â All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
(8) Â And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
(9) Â Of sin, because they believe not on me;
(10) Â Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
(11) Â Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
(16) Â For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(17) Â Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(18) Â Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
(11) Â Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
(25) Â Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
(1) Â To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
(1) Â God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
(2) Â Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
(3) Â Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(18) Â Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
(26) Â And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
(27) Â To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
(28) Â And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
(29) Â And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
(30) Â And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
(31) Â And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
(32) Â He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
(33) Â And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
(34) Â Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
(35) Â And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
(1) Â In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(4) Â In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
(18) Â No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
(6) Â But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
(6) Â Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
(7) Â But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
(8) Â And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
(9) Â Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
(10) Â That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
(11) Â And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(6) Â He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
(7) Â Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
(24) Â And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
(25) Â Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
(26) Â Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
(3) Â For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
(4) Â And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
(5) Â And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
(6) Â After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
(34) Â Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
(1) Â In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(2) Â And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(3) Â And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
(4) Â And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(5) Â And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
(6) Â And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(7) Â And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
(8) Â And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
(9) Â And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
(10) Â And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
(11) Â And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
(12) Â And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(13) Â And the evening and the morning were the third day.
(14) Â And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
(15) Â And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
(16) Â And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
(17) Â And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
(18) Â And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
(19) Â And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
(20) Â And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
(21) Â And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(22) Â And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
(23) Â And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
(24) Â And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
(25) Â And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(26) Â And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
(27) Â So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
(28) Â And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
(29) Â And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
(30) Â And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
(31) Â And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
(14) Â The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.
(19) Â Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(5) Â I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
(11) Â Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
(11) Â Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
(1) Â Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
(2) Â Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
(3) Â Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
(4) Â Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
(5) Â Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
(6) Â Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
(7) Â At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
(8) Â They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
(9) Â Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
(10) Â He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
(11) Â They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
(12) Â By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
(13) Â He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
(14) Â He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
(15) Â And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
(16) Â The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
(17) Â Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
(18) Â The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
(19) Â He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
(20) Â Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
(21) Â The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
(22) Â The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
(23) Â Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
(24) Â O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
(25) Â So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
(26) Â There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
(27) Â These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
(28) Â That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
(29) Â Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
(30) Â Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
(31) Â The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
(32) Â He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
(33) Â I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
(34) Â My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
(35) Â Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
