John 15

1	I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2	Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3	Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4	Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5	I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6	If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7	If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8	Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9	As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10	If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11	These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12	This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13	Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14	Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15	Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16	Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17	These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18	If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19	If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20	Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21	But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22	If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23	He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24	If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25	But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26	But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27	And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Exodus 24

1	And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
2	And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3	And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
4	And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5	And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
6	And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7	And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
8	And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
9	Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10	And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11	And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
12	And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
13	And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
14	And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
15	And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
16	And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17	And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18	And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and got him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

1 Corinthians 11

1	Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2	Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3	But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4	Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.
5	But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6	For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7	For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8	For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9	Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10	For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11	Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12	For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13	Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14	Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15	But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16	But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17	Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18	For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19	For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
20	When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21	For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22	What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23	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	And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25	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	For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
27	Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28	But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29	For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30	For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31	For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32	But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33	Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34	And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Job 13

1	Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2	What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
3	Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4	But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5	O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6	Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7	Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8	Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9	Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10	He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11	Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12	Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13	Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14	Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15	Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16	He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17	Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18	Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19	Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20	Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21	Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22	Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23	How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24	Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
25	Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26	For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27	Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
28	And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

Psalms 111

1	Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2	The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3	His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth forever.
4	He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5	He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6	He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7	The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8	They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9	He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name.
10	The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever.

Proverbs 13

1	A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2	A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3	He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4	The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5	A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
6	Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7	There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8	The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
9	The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10	Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11	Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labor shall increase.
12	Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13	Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14	The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15	Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16	Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
17	A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18	Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
19	The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20	He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21	Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
22	A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23	Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
24	He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him quickly.
25	The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Joshua 12

1	Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
2	Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
3	And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
4	And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5	And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6	Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
7	And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
8	In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
9	The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
10	The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
11	The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
12	The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
13	The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
14	The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
15	The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
16	The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
17	The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
18	The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
19	The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
20	The king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
21	The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
22	The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;
23	The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;
24	The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.

Isaiah 11

1	And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2	And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3	And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4	But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5	And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6	The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7	And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8	And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den.
9	They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10	And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12	And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13	The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14	But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15	And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry-shod.
16	And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Acts 9

1	And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2	And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3	And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4	And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5	And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6	And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7	And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8	And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9	And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10	And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11	And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12	And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13	Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14	And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15	But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16	For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17	And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18	And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19	And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20	And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21	But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22	But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23	And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24	But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25	Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26	And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27	But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28	And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29	And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30	Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31	Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32	And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33	And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34	And Peter said unto him, Aeneas Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35	And all that dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36	Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37	And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38	And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39	Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40	But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41	And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42	And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43	And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
