Matthew 18

1	At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2	And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3	And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4	Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5	And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6	But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7	Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!
8	Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9	And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10	Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11	For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12	How think ye? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13	And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14	Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15	Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16	But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17	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 a heathen man and a publican.
18	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.
19	Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20	For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21	Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22	Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23	Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24	And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25	But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26	The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27	Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28	But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29	And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30	And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31	So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32	Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33	Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?
34	And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35	So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Genesis 18

1	And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2	And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
3	And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4	Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5	And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
6	And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
7	And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8	And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9	And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10	And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
11	Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12	Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13	And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14	Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15	Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16	And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17	And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18	Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19	For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20	And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21	I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22	And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23	And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24	Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25	That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26	And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27	And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28	Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29	And he spoke unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
30	And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31	And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
32	And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
33	And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

1 Corinthians 2

1	And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2	For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3	And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4	And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5	That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6	Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught:
7	But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8	Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9	But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10	But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11	For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12	Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13	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.
14	But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15	But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16	For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

2 Timothy 4

1	I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2	Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3	For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4	And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5	But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6	For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7	I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8	Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
9	Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
10	For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
11	Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12	And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
13	The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14	Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
15	Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16	At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17	Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18	And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
19	Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20	Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21	Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22	The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Job 18

1	Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2	How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3	Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4	He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5	Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6	The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7	The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8	For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9	The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10	The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11	Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12	His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13	It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14	His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15	It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16	His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17	His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18	He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19	He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20	They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were frightened.
21	Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Psalms 18

1	To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2	The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3	I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4	The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5	The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6	In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7	Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8	There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9	He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10	And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11	He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12	At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13	The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14	Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15	Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16	He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17	He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18	They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19	He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20	The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21	For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22	For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23	I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24	Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25	With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
26	With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward.
27	For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28	For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29	For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30	As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31	For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32	It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33	He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34	He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35	Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36	Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37	I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38	I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39	For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40	Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41	They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42	Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43	Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44	As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45	The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46	The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47	It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48	He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49	Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50	Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed forevermore.

Proverbs 18

1	Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2	A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
3	When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4	The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5	It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6	A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7	A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8	The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9	He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10	The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11	The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
12	Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.
13	He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14	The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15	The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16	A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17	He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.
18	The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
19	A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20	A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21	Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22	Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the LORD.
23	The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24	A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Joshua 18

1	And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2	And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3	And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4	Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
5	And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6	Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7	But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
8	And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9	And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10	And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11	And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12	And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13	And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
14	And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
15	And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah.
16	And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
17	And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18	And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19	And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
20	And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21	Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22	And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23	And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24	And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25	Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26	And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27	And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28	And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

Isaiah 18

1	Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2	That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3	All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4	For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5	For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6	They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7	In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

Acts 18

1	After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;
2	And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; because that (Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.
3	And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4	And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5	And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6	And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7	And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8	And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9	Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
