John 17

1	These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2	As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3	And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4	I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5	And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6	I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7	Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8	For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9	I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10	And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11	And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12	While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13	And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14	I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15	I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16	They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17	Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18	As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19	And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20	Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21	That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22	And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23	I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24	Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25	O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26	And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Exodus 26

1	Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
2	The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
3	The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
4	And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvage in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
5	Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.
6	And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
7	And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
8	The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure.
9	And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.
10	And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
11	And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12	And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.
13	And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14	And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
15	And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
16	Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
17	Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18	And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
19	And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
20	And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
21	And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22	And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
23	And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
24	And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25	And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26	And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27	And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.
28	And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.
29	And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.
30	And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was showed thee in the mount.
31	And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
32	And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
33	And thou shalt hang up the veil under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
34	And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35	And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.
36	And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
37	And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

1 Corinthians 13

1	Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2	And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3	And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4	Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5	Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6	Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7	Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8	Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9	For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10	But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11	When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12	For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13	And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Job 15

1	Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2	Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3	Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4	Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5	For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6	Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7	Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8	Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9	What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10	With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11	Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12	Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13	That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14	What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15	Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16	How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17	I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18	Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19	Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20	The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21	A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22	He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23	He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24	Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25	For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26	He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27	Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
28	And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30	He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31	Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
32	It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33	He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34	For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35	They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Psalms 113

1	Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2	Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.
3	From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
4	The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5	Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6	Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7	He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8	That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9	He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs 15

1	A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2	The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3	The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4	A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5	A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6	In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7	The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8	The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9	The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10	Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11	Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12	A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13	A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14	The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15	All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16	Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17	Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18	A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19	The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20	A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21	Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22	Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23	A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24	The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25	The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26	The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27	He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28	The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29	The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30	The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31	The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32	He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33	The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

Joshua 14

1	And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
2	By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
3	For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
4	For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
5	As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6	Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
7	Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
8	Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
9	And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's forever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
10	And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11	As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
12	Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
13	And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14	Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
15	And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

Isaiah 13

1	The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2	Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3	I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4	The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5	They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6	Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7	Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8	And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9	Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10	For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11	And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12	I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13	Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14	And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15	Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16	Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17	Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18	Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19	And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20	It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21	But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22	And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Acts 11

1	And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2	And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3	saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4	But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5	I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6	Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7	And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8	But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9	But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10	And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11	And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12	And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13	And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14	Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16	Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17	Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18	When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19	Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20	And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21	And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22	Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23	Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24	For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25	Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26	And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
27	And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28	And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29	Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea:
30	Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
