John 14

1	Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2	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	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.
4	And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5	Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6	Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7	If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8	Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9	Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10	Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11	Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13	And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14	If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15	If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16	And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
17	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.
18	I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19	Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20	At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21	He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22	Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23	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.
24	He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25	These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26	But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27	Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28	Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29	And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30	Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31	But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Deuteronomy 18

1	The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
2	Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3	And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4	The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5	For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons forever.
6	And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
7	Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
8	They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9	When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10	There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11	Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12	For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13	Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14	For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15	The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16	According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17	And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18	I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20	But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21	And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22	When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Romans 15

1	We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2	Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.
3	For even Christ pleased not himself: but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4	For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
5	Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6	That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7	Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8	Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9	And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10	And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11	And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12	And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13	Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14	And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15	Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16	That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17	I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18	For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19	Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20	Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
21	But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22	For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23	But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24	Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25	But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26	For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27	It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28	When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29	And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30	Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31	That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32	That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33	Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

2 John 1

1	The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2	For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us forever.
3	Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4	I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5	And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6	And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7	For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8	Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9	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	If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed:
11	For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12	Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13	The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 5

1	Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2	Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3	For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
4	When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5	Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6	Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
7	For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
8	If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
9	Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
10	He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
11	When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
12	The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13	There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14	But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
15	As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry way in his hand.
16	And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind?
17	All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
18	Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
19	Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
20	For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

Psalms 21

1	To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2	Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3	For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4	He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days forever and ever.
5	His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6	For thou hast made him most blessed forever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7	For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8	Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9	Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10	Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11	For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12	Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13	Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Proverbs 16

1	The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2	All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3	Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4	The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5	Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6	By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7	When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8	Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9	A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10	A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11	A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12	It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13	Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14	The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15	In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16	How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17	The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18	Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19	Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20	He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21	The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22	Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23	The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24	Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25	There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26	He that laboreth laboreth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27	An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28	A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29	A violent man enticeth his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30	He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31	The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32	He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33	The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 20

1	And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2	And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3	And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4	And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5	And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6	And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
7	But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8	These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Ezekiel 48

1	Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2	And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
3	And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
4	And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5	And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6	And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
7	And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8	And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9	The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10	And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
11	It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12	And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13	And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14	And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15	And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16	And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17	And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18	And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
19	And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
20	All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21	And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22	Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23	As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24	And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25	And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26	And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
27	And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
28	And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
29	This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
30	And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31	And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32	And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33	And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34	At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35	It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

Acts 3

1	Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2	And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3	Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4	And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5	And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6	Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7	And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8	And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9	And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10	And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11	And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12	And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13	The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14	But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15	And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16	And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17	And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18	But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19	Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20	And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21	Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22	For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23	And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24	Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
