Matthew 10:1-23

1

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

2

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

4

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

6

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10

Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

11

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

12

And when ye come into an house, salute it.

13

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

17

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

18

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

19

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

20

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

21

And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

23

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

Luke 6:12-19

12

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

14

Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15

Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

16

And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

17

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

18

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

19

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

Luke 11:37-54

37

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

38

And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

39

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

40

Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

41

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

42

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

43

Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

44

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

45

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

46

And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47

Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48

Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

49

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

50

That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51

From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53

And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

54

Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

Luke 22:14-23

14

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15

And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18

For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

20

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21

But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22

And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

23

And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Luke 24:1-12

1

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8

And they remembered his words,

9

And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10

It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

Acts 1:1-26

1

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2

Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

3

To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

4

And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

6

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

9

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

12

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

13

And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

16

Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

17

For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18

Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

19

And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

20

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

21

Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

22

Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

23

And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

24

And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

25

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

26

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 5:1-42

1

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2

And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10

Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

11

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

12

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

13

And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

14

And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16

There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

17

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

18

And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

19

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

20

Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

21

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

22

But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,

23

Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

24

Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

25

Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

26

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

27

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

28

Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

29

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

30

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

31

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

32

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

34

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

35

And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

36

For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

37

After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

38

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

39

But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

40

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

41

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

42

And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Acts 8:1-3

1

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

2

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

3

As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

Acts 9:1-31

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 enquire 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 shew 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 assayed 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 Judaea 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.

Romans 11:1-36

1

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,

3

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

4

But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

5

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

6

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

7

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

8

(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

9

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

10

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

11

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

12

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

13

For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

14

If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

15

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

16

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

20

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

22

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

24

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

25

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

29

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

30

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

31

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

32

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

33

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 4:1-21

1

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

2

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

3

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

4

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

5

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

6

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

7

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

8

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

9

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

10

We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

11

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

15

For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

16

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

17

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

18

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

19

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

20

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

21

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

1 Corinthians 9:1-19

1

Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

2

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

3

Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

4

Have we not power to eat and to drink?

5

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

6

Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

7

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

8

Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

9

For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

10

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

11

If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

12

If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

13

Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

14

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

15

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

16

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

17

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

18

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

19

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

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.

1 Corinthians 15:1-19

1

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

5

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

6

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

7

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

8

And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

9

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

12

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

2 Corinthians 11:1-33

1

Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

5

For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

6

But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

7

Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

8

I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

9

And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

10

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

11

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

12

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

13

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

16

I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

17

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

18

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

19

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

20

For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

21

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

22

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

23

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

24

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

25

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26

In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

28

Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

29

Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

30

If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

31

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

32

In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

33

And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

2 Corinthians 12:1-21

1

It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2

I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

3

And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

4

How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

6

For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

7

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

11

I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

12

Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

13

For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

14

Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

15

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

16

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

17

Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

18

I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

19

Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

20

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

21

And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Galatians 1:1-24

1

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

2

And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:

3

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5

To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9

As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

10

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

14

And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

15

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

16

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

17

Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

18

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

19

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

20

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

21

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

22

And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

23

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

24

And they glorified God in me.

1

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

2

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-20

1

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

2

But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

3

For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

4

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

5

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

6

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

7

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

8

So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

9

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

10

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

11

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

12

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

13

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

14

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

15

Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

16

Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

17

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

18

Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

19

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

20

For ye are our glory and joy.

3

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

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

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

3

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

4

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

5

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

6

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

7

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

4

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

5

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

6

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

7

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Revelation 21:1-27

1

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

9

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12

And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13

On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16

And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18

And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20

The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
