Bible Study
Welcome to our Bible study section. Our studies are Word-based, in the sense that we take a Bible Word and present that word in a variety of contexts, along with links to dictionaries, sermons, commentaries, and other translations and Bible tools on the net. Lord willing, we hope to update the Word study on a biweekly basis. For any given study there are usually a large number of verses, commentaries, and other readings associated with that word, so take time to study the Word in-depth. We are just (re)starting this in-depth Bible study section after a long delay, so consider it "under-construction" in 2007.

God bless you, and I pray that your studies will be a true blessing,
Job.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
(Jeremiah 15:16)


John 1:1-42

1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
The same was in the beginning with God.
3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

    Christ

    Easton's Bible Dictionary:

    Christ

    anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matthew 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by (Isaiah 61:1), and by (Daniel 9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince."

    The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman" (Genesis 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Genesis 22:18), the "Prophet like unto Moses" (Deuteronomy 18:15), "the priest after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalms 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse" (Isaiah 11:1,10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isaiah 7:14), "the branch of Jehovah" (Isaiah 4:2), and "the messenger of the covenant" (Malachi 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Hebrews 5:4; Isaiah 11:2-4; 49:6; John 5:37; Acts 2:22).

    To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Corinthians 12:3; 1 John 5:1).



    Christs, False

    Our Lord warned his disciples that they would arise (Matthew 24:24). It is said that no fewer than twenty-four persons have at different times appeared (the last in 1682) pretending to be the Messiah of the prophets.

    Smith's Bible Dictionary:

    Jesus Christ

    "The life and character of Jesus Christ," says Dr. Schaff, "is the holy of holies in the history of the world."
    1. NAME. --The name Jesus signifies saviour . It is the Greek form of JEHOSHUA (Joshua). The name Christ signifies anointed. Jesus was both priest and king. Among the Jews priests were anointed, as their inauguration to their office. (1 Chronicles 16:22) In the New Testament the name Christ is used as equivalent to the Hebrew Messiah (anointed ), (John 1:41) the name given to the long-promised Prophet and King whom the Jews had been taught by their prophets to expect. (Matthew 11:3; Acts 19:4) The use of this name, as applied to the Lord, has always a reference to the promises of the prophets. The name of Jesus is the proper name of our Lord, and that of Christ is added to identify him with the promised Messiah. Other names are sometimes added to the names Jesus Christ, thus, "Lord," "a king," "King of Israel," "Emmanuel," "Son of David," "chosen of God." II. BIRTH. --Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, God being his father, at Bethlehem of Judea, six miles south of Jerusalem. The date of his birth was most probably in December, B.C. 5, four years before the era from which we count our years. That era was not used till several hundred years after Christ. The calculations were made by a learned monk, Dionysius Exiguus, in the sixth century, who made an error of four years; so that to get the exact date from the birth of Christ we must add four years to our usual dates; i.e. A.D. 1882 is really 1886 years since the birth of Christ. It is also more than likely that our usual date for Christmas, December 25, is not far from the real date of Christ's birth. Since the 25th of December comes when the longest night gives way to the returning sun on his triumphant march, it makes an appropriate anniversary to make the birth of him who appeared in the darkest night of error and sin as the true Light of the world. At the time of Christ's birth Augustus Caesar was emperor of Rome, and Herod the Great king of Judea, but subject of Rome. God's providence had prepared the world for the coming of Christ, and this was the fittest time in all its history.
    2. All the world was subject to one government, so that the apostles could travel everywhere: the door of every land was open for the gospel.
    3. The world was at peace, so that the gospel could have free course.
    4. The Greek language was spoken everywhere with their other languages.
    5. The Jews were scattered everywhere with synagogues and Bibles. III. EARLY LIFE. --Jesus, having a manger at Bethlehem for his cradle, received a visit of adoration from the three wise men of the East. At forty days old he was taken to the temple at Jerusalem; and returning to Bethlehem, was soon taken to Egypt to escape Herod's massacre of the infants there. After a few months stay there, Herod having died in April, B.C. 4, the family returned to their Nazareth home, where Jesus lived till he was about thirty years old, subject to his parent, and increasing "in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." The only incident recorded of his early life is his going up to Jerusalem to attend the passover when he was twelve years old, and his conversation with the learned men in the temple. But we can understand the childhood and youth of Jesus better when we remember the surrounding influences amid which he grew.
    6. The natural scenery was rugged and mountainous, but full of beauty. He breathed the pure air. He lived in a village, not in a city.
    7. The Roman dominion was irksome and galling. The people of God were subject to a foreign yoke. The taxes were heavy. Roman soldiers, laws, money, every reminded them of their subjection, when they ought to be free and themselves the rulers of the world. When Jesus was ten years old, there was a great insurrection, (Acts 5:37) in Galilee. He who was to be King of the Jews heard and felt all this.
    8. The Jewish hopes of a Redeemer, of throwing off their bondage, of becoming the glorious nation promised in the prophet, were in the very air he breathed. The conversation at home and in the streets was full of them.
    9. Within his view, and his boyish excursions, were many remarkable historic places, --rivers, hills, cities, plains, --that would keep in mind the history of his people and God's dealings with them.
    10. His school training. Mr. Deutsch, in the Quarterly Review, says, "Eighty years before Christ, schools flourished throughout the length and the breadth of the land: education had been made compulsory. While there is not a single term for 'school' to be found before the captivity, there were by that time about a dozen in common usage. Here are a few of the innumerable popular sayings of the period: 'Jerusalem was destroyed because the instruction of the young was neglected.' 'The world is only saved by the breath of the school-children.' 'Even for the rebuilding of the temple the schools must not be interrupted.'"
    11. His home training. According to Ellicott, the stages of Jewish childhood were marked as follows: "At three the boy was weaned, and word for the first time the fringed or tasselled garment prescribed by (Numbers 15:38-41) and Deuteronomy 22:12 His education began at first under the mother's care. At five he was to learn the law, at first by extracts written on scrolls of the more important passages, the Shema or creed of ( 2:4) the Hallel or festival psalms, Psal 114, 118, 136, and by catechetical teaching in school. At twelve he became more directly responsible for his obedience of the law; and on the day when he attained the age of thirteen, put on for the first time the phylacteries which were worn at the recital of his daily prayer." In addition to this, Jesus no doubt learned the carpenter's trade of his reputed father Joseph, and, as Joseph probably died before Jesus began his public ministry, he may have contributed to the support of his mother. (IV. PUBLIC MINISTRY. --All the leading events recorded of Jesus' life are given at the end of this volume in the Chronological Chart and in the Chronological Table of the life of Christ; so that here will be given only a general survey. Jesus began to enter upon his ministry when he was "about thirty years old;" that is, he was not very far from thirty, older or younger. He is regarded as nearly thirty-one by Andrews (in the tables of chronology referred to above) and by most others. Having been baptized by John early in the winter of 26-27, he spent the larger portion of his year in Judea and about the lower Jordan, till in December he went northward to Galilee through Samaria. The next year and a half, from December, A.D. 27, to October or November, A.D. 29, was spent in Galilee and norther Palestine, chiefly in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee. In November, 29, Jesus made his final departure from Galilee, and the rest of his ministry was in Judea and Perea, beyond Jordan, till his crucifixion, April 7, A.D. 30. After three days he proved his divinity by rising from the dead; and after appearing on eleven different occasions to his disciples during forty days, he finally ascended to heaven, where he is the living, ever present, all-powerful Saviour of his people. Jesus Christ, being both human and divine, is fitted to be the true Saviour of men. In this, as in every action and character, he is shown to be "the wisdom and power of God unto salvation." As human, he reaches down to our natures, sympathizes with us, shows us that God knows all our feelings and weaknesses and sorrows and sins, brings God near to us, who otherwise could not realize the Infinite and Eternal as a father and friend. He is divine, in order that he may be an all-powerful, all-loving Saviour, able and willing to defend us from every enemy, to subdue all temptations, to deliver from all sin, and to bring each of his people, and the whole Church, into complete and final victory. Jesus Christ is the centre of the world's history, as he is the centre of the Bible. --ED.)

    Vine's Bible Dictionary:

    Strong's Number: 5547     Greek: christos

    "anointed," translates, in the Sept., the word "Messiah," a term applied to the priests who were anointed with the holy oil, particularly the high priest, e.g., Lev 4:3,5,16. The prophets are called hoi christoi Theou, "the anointed of God," Psa 105:15. A king of Israel was described upon occassion as christos tou Kuriou, "the anointed of the Lord," 1Sa 2:10,35; 2Sa 1:14; Psa 2:2; 18:50; Hab 3:13; the term is used even of Cyrus, Isa 45:1. The title ho Christos, "the Christ," is not used of Christ in the Sept. version of the inspired books of the OT. In the NT the word is frequently used with the article, of the Lord Jesus, as an appellative rather than a title, e.g., Mat 2:4; Act 2:31; without the article, Luk 2:11; 23:2; Jhn 1:41. Three times the title was expressly accepted by the Lord Himself, Mat 16:17; Mar 14:61,62; Jhn 4:26. It is added as an appellative to the proper name "Jesus," e.g., Jhn 17:3, the only time when the Lord so spoke of Himself; Act 9:34; 1Cr 3:11; 1Jo 5:6. It is distinctly a proper name in many passages, whether with the article, e.g., Mat 1:17; 11:2; Rom 7:4; 9:5; 15:19; 1Cr 1:6, or without the article, Mar 9:41; Rom 6:4; 8:9,17; 1Cr 1:12; Gal 2:16. The single title Christos is sometimes used without the article to signify the One who by His Holy Spirit and power indwells believers and molds their character in conformity to His likeness, Rom 8:10; Gal 2:20; 4:19; Eph 3:17. As to the use or absence of the article, the title with the article specifies the Lord Jesus as "the Christ;" the title without the article stresses His character and His relationship with believers. Again, speaking generally, when the title is the subject of a sentence it has the article; when it forms part of the predicate the article is absent. See also JESUS.

    Example Verses


    Matthew 2:1-12

    1
    Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
    2
    Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
    3
    When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
    4
    And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
    5
    And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
    6
    And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
    7
    Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
    8
    And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
    9
    When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
    10
    When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
    11
    And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
    12
    And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

    3

    15
    He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
    16
    And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
    17
    And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
    18
    And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
    19
    And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

    2
    And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
    3
    And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
    4
    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
    5
    For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
    6
    And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    7
    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
    8
    All these are the beginning of sorrows.
    9
    Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
    10
    And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
    11
    And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
    12
    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
    13
    But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
    14
    And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
    15
    When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
    16
    Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
    17
    Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
    18
    Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
    19
    And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
    20
    But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
    21
    For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
    22
    And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
    23
    Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
    24
    For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
    25
    Behold, I have told you before.
    26
    Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
    27
    For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    28
    For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

    Luke 22:54-71

    54
    Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
    55
    And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
    56
    But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
    57
    And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
    58
    And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
    59
    And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
    60
    And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
    61
    And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
    62
    And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
    63
    And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
    64
    And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
    65
    And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
    66
    And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
    67
    Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
    68
    And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
    69
    Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
    70
    Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
    71
    And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

    Luke 23:33-43

    33
    And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
    34
    Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
    35
    And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
    36
    And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
    37
    And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
    38
    And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
    39
    And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
    40
    But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
    41
    And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
    42
    And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
    43
    And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

    Romans 3:19-31

    19
    Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
    20
    Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
    21
    But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
    22
    Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
    23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    24
    Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
    25
    Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
    26
    To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
    27
    Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
    28
    Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
    29
    Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
    30
    Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
    31
    Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

    Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
    36
    As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
    37
    Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
    38
    For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
    39
    Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Romans 10:4-11

    4
    For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
    5
    For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
    6
    But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
    7
    Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
    8
    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
    9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    10
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    11
    For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

    1 Corinthians 6:12-20

    12
    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
    13
    Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
    14
    And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
    15
    Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
    16
    What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
    17
    But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
    18
    Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
    19
    What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
    20
    For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

    1 Corinthians 12:1-31

    1
    Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
    2
    Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
    3
    Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
    4
    Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
    5
    And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
    6
    And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
    7
    But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
    8
    For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
    9
    To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
    10
    To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
    11
    But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
    12
    For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
    13
    For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
    14
    For the body is not one member, but many.
    15
    If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
    16
    And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
    17
    If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
    18
    But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
    19
    And if they were all one member, where were the body?
    20
    But now are they many members, yet but one body.
    21
    And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
    22
    Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
    23
    And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
    24
    For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
    25
    That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
    26
    And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
    27
    Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
    28
    And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
    29
    Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
    30
    Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
    31
    But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
    18
    And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
    19
    To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
    20
    Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
    21
    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    22
    But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
    23
    But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
    24
    Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
    25
    But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
    26
    For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
    27
    For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
    28
    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
    29
    And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    13
    But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
    14
    For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
    15
    For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
    16
    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
    17
    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    3
    For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
    4
    Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
    5
    For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
    6
    Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
    7
    Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

    1
    Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
    2
    Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
    3
    And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
    4
    Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
    5
    They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
    6
    We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

    Revelation 20:1-15

    1
    And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
    2
    And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
    3
    And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
    4
    And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
    5
    But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
    6
    Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
    7
    And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
    8
    And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
    9
    And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
    10
    And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
    11
    And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
    12
    And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
    13
    And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
    14
    And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
    15
    And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
